He could no longer control the clay dragon. It fell powerlessly from the air, hit the ground, and turned into a pool of white substance that was quickly swallowed up by the sand.

Deidara lay on the ground, trembling, watching his arm gradually fester and be eroded by the purple substance.

To make matters worse, he felt a lot of sand rushing towards him.

The sand wrapped around his chest, pinning him to the ground.

The sand blocked his mouth, making it impossible for him to make any sound.

Sand got into his nostrils and made it difficult for him to breathe.

He was swallowed up by the sand bit by bit and dragged into endless darkness.

"I didn't have the chance to display my ultimate art yet..." This was Deidara's last thought before he lost consciousness.

Gaara's sands completely devoured him and buried him deep underground, so that no one could find his body.

"Only Scorpion is left." Shino thought to himself. Deidara was already dead, and to be honest, he didn't feel sorry at all, it was what he deserved.

"Got you!"

Before Shino could react, a wooden arm wrapped around his body, preventing him from moving.

Why didn't my parasite notice his presence? How on earth did he find me in the dark?

Gaara controlled the sand and smashed the puppet with lightning speed.

However, Shino's shoulder was still pierced, and although the wound was not fatal, the poison had already entered the blood.

Shino's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground helplessly.

He won't die, his parasites are working hard to absorb the toxin, but the process will take time.

Shino spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the sand.

Gaara quickly rushed to his side and used sand to block the puppets that were attacking from all directions.

"I can't find Kaede." Gaara said to Shino who was lying on the ground.

"She's nearby..." Shino tried hard to stay awake.

"I have to release the 'Void'." Gaara sighed.

This technique is not suitable for use with companions. If he is alone, he can control the sand to attack without any scruples, without worrying about accidentally hurting his companions.

"Crack!"

Scorpion suddenly heard a slight cracking sound and he quickly stopped controlling the puppet. This was the first time he heard a sound since entering the "void".

He looked up and saw a crack on the dome, with dazzling light shining through the crack.

"It seems that Deidara has..." Sasori sighed and looked around, but there was no trace of Deidara.

He looked down at the puppet holding Feng in his arms, she was still unconscious but she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

We had thought Gaara would come alone, so it looked like Danzo's plan had failed.

"We're the only ones left now," Gaara said, putting Shino somewhere safe.

"It seems so." Scorpion said, releasing several puppets.

He has lost the precious Third Kazekage puppet and can now only control the puppet with his own body.

Gaara controlled the sand and attacked Scorpion, but Scorpion controlled the puppet and split the sand in half.

The scroll behind him suddenly glowed and spewed out fierce flames.

Gaara quickly manipulated the sand to form a huge shield to block the fire attack.

"Red Secret Technique·Hundred Machine Exercises!"

A puppet bypassed the sand wall and shot countless poisonous needles at Gaara.

Gaara quickly used sand to block the poison needle. At this time, another puppet attacked from the side, forcing him to completely wrap himself with sand.

Gaara was trapped in a sand cocoon, enduring fierce attacks from Scorpion and the puppets.

"Desert Wave!" The sand cocoon suddenly turned into a huge wave, swallowed up the flames, and crushed several puppets.

The scorpion quickly jumped back and avoided the attack of the sand waves.

"Wind Style: Sand and Dust Breakthrough!" Gaara took a deep breath and released a powerful chakra, destroying all the puppets around him and forcing Scorpion back.

"The game is over!" Scorpion said, landing on the ground and unrolling a huge scroll. "Hundred Machines Exercise!"

As the scroll opened, a hundred puppets appeared behind Scorpion.

Gaara looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. He had been learning puppetry since he was a child, and he knew how powerful the puppeteers of the Sand Village were.

But even Granny Chiyo can only control ten puppets at the same time.

Scorpion's strength even surpasses Kankuro, who is obsessed with puppets.

"Go to hell!" Scorpion shouted excitedly.

One hundred puppets moved at the same time and rushed towards Gaara.

The densely packed puppets covered the sky, like a dark cloud of death, sweeping towards Gaara.

Just as Gaara was about to control the sand to fight, Shukaku's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Let me out! I want to play too!"

"Okay." Gaara sighed helplessly and could only agree to Shukaku's request. "Summoning Technique!" He bit his thumb and smeared the blood on the raccoon cat pattern on his arm.

"Come out, One-Tailed Shukaku!"

The earth shook violently, and the sand under Gaara's feet rushed into the sky, forming a huge whirlpool.

"Ah!" An excited voice came from the sand. Scorpion quickly controlled the puppet to stop attacking. Looking up, he saw a huge civet cat appear in front of him.

The brown fur is covered with seal marks, the mouth is jagged, the sclera is black, the pupils are golden, and in the pupils is a black four-pointed star pattern surrounded by four black dots.

This is the One-Tailed Shukaku. Its huge tail is swinging impatiently behind it, and Gaara is standing on top of its head.

"It feels so good to be free!" Shukaku shouted excitedly.

"Yeah." Gaara sighed helplessly.

Naruto and his tailed beasts get along pretty well, the nine-tailed fox is more rational and sleeps most of the time.

But Shukaku is just like a naughty kid with too much energy.

"Let's play! Wind Style: Air Training!"

Shukaku took a deep breath and slapped his stomach. A highly compressed air bullet shot out from his mouth, destroying all the trees and puppets along the way.

"Let's go!" It cheered excitedly and puffed up its belly again.

"Wind Escape·Practice Blank Bullets!"

"Wind Escape·Practice Blank Bullets!"

"Wind Escape·Practice Blank Bullets!"

"Wind Escape·Practice Blank Bullets!"

Scorpion looked at the rampaging tailed beast in front of him in despair. The one hundred puppets were no match for it.

Seeing Shukaku's attack getting closer, he quickly summoned a few puppets to block in front of him.

"Shukaku!" Gaara shouted loudly. The attack just now almost hit Kaede. "Look carefully before you attack, or I will seal you up!"

"Sorry, sorry." Shukaku stuck out his tongue, and Gaara sighed helplessly.
