I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"Then let me show you my eternal art." Scorpion unsealed the scroll, and a humanoid puppet appeared in front of Maki.

"Could this be..." Maki looked at the appearance of the puppet and couldn't believe his eyes. This puppet looked exactly like the missing Third-generation Kazekage.

"I put a lot of thought into making him a puppet. Maki, let me show you again the magnetic escape technique that is known as the strongest Kazekage." Under Scorpion's control, the Third Kazekage opened his mouth, revealing the mechanism inside. Then a ball of black magnetic sand came out of his mouth and turned into thin needles that shot towards Maki.

Magnetic Release, Sand Iron Rain

He could even use the Sandaime's Magnetic Release. Was it true that the Sandaime Kazekage was killed by Scorpion? Maki did not persuade Scorpion again, but carefully avoided the Magnetic Release attack. This puppet put too much pressure on him.

The people of Sand Village who were watching the battle from afar were also surprised when they saw the Magnetic Release. This was a secret technique of Sand Village, which had not been passed down after the disappearance of the Third Hokage. They did not expect to see it again on the opponent, and they couldn't help but wonder who the other party was.

"That's a human puppet. It is said that a puppet made using a human puppet can retain the ninjutsu from the previous life. It is a forbidden technique in the Sand Village..." said Juan, who is in charge of the senior ninja.

"Human puppet! Are you saying that Mr. Maki's opponent controls a human puppet? Who is fighting him?!"

As a puppeteer, Kankuro had of course heard of this forbidden technique and couldn't help but get excited.

"The person who can use magnetic jutsu is the Sandaime Kazekage. I saw the Sandaime when I was very young, so I wouldn't make a mistake. Rumor has it that the Third Ninja World War was triggered by the disappearance of the Sandaime. In fact, there was also a Sandagakure ninja who disappeared with the Sandaime." Juan recalled.

"Who is it?" Temari and the others had not experienced the Ninja World War and did not know much about the secrets of these villages.

"He is the village's former genius puppeteer, the grandson of Elder Chiyo, Scorpion of the Red Sand." Juan said word by word. If it weren't for all this information combined, Juan would not have made such an analysis. Everything she saw before her made her 80% sure that Maki was facing Scorpion. In this case, even Maki, the elite Jonin of Sunagakure, would not be a match for Scorpion.

"Red Sand Scorpion! Are you sure? Isn't he dead?" Kankuro found that there were too many shocking things today. Since coming to Konoha, one thing after another has made him at a loss, and the crow he was using was the creation of Scorpion.

"Yura, if it's really Scorpion, Maki Jonin may not be his match. I'm going to go up and help. You guys go back to the village immediately to get reinforcements." Juan said to the Chunin wearing sunglasses, and then rushed out without waiting for their reactions.

"drink!"

Deidara didn't expect that Ye Lan had a summoned beast that could fly, and it was obviously much faster than his giant clay bird. He could only keep throwing clay bombs to block it. From the previous fight, he knew that he must not get close to Ye Lan. He believed that once he got close, Ye Lan would only need half a second to kill him.

"Damn, there's not much clay left. I guess C3 won't be able to hit that guy at all. Should I use C2..." Without giving it too much thought, Deidara took out the remaining clay, chewed it with the mouth on his strange right hand, and spit out a piece of clay that looked like a Western dragon.

"Try this!" Deidara threw it out directly, and the dragon kept growing bigger, and finally became bigger than the Thunder Falcon. It flapped its wings, and the giant dragon kept spitting out explosive clay from its mouth to attack. The sky was filled with explosions like fireworks.

The clay spit out by the dragon was too dense, and Pojun was quite big. He could barely dodge it at first, but later he couldn't dodge it and was blown up several times. Fortunately, he had thick skin and flesh and didn't suffer any serious injuries.

"Pojun, use Lightning Release!" A red light flashed in Ye Lan's eyes. In his opinion, Deidara's ninjutsu is also a kind of earth release. In that case, he might as well try the Lightning Release that Pojun is good at.

"Understood!" After hearing this, Pojun raised his altitude and came above the clay dragon. Chakra and natural energy continued to gather in its sharp mouth, forming a ball of lightning. Finally, with a sharp cry, he spit the ball of lightning in his mouth into the sky.

Thunder, lightning and thunder

The lightning ball in the sky exploded instantly, making the entire sky brighter, and finally formed an electric grid that covered the entire blue sky. The dragon that came into contact with the electric grid was directly shattered into pieces. As Ye Lan had expected, the clay was restrained by lightning.

Strictly speaking, Pojun's move is not considered lightning escape. This move not only contains chakra, but more importantly, the natural energy practiced by Pojun. Its power is much greater than ordinary ninjutsu.

Deidara looked up at the sky in surprise. He didn't expect that this person was a master of Lightning Escape. He was completely the type who could restrain himself. Now he had no intention of completing the mission and just wanted to evacuate quickly. Just when Po Jun released lightning and thunder, Ye Lan jumped down from the sky and pounced directly on Deidara. He was already close to him when Deidara was shocked.

There were bursts of breaking sounds in the air. Deidara was still careless. He didn't expect that Ye Lan could contact him so quickly under the cover of Pojun.

puff-

Deidara's entire right arm was cut off by Ye Lan. The physical pain and psychological pressure made Deidara spit out blood. When he wanted to fight back, he met Ye Lan's eyes and a pair of Sharingan were turning.

"You are Uchiha..." These were Deidara's last words. He fell directly into Ye Lan's illusion. The unconscious Deidara was unable to control the giant bird and turned directly into a ball of smoke. At this time, Pojun arrived and directly caught the two people who were falling.

Ye Lan did not intend to kill Deidara. He hoped to get more information about Akatsuki and Itachi from Deidara. He wanted to know why Itachi joined Akatsuki after committing the act of exterminating his clan. Would Itachi's helper that day be someone from Akatsuki? If so, who was it? What was the purpose of Akatsuki collecting tailed beasts? Etc. Ye Lan did not know all this information. He had to find out the details of the other party. Ye Lan healed Deidara's wound. He did not know where the right hand he cut off had fallen. He did not care about it anymore. He was now heading to the direction where Maki and others had just gone. They had kept some distance when they were closest to Deidara.

When he rushed to the original location again, he was surprised by the result. Maki was the only one left in Sunagakure who was still struggling to hold on. Not only the female Jonin from Sunagakure but also Yuhi Kurenai who was with him fell to the ground. No one knew where the other Genin and the perception ninja had gone.

Seeing Scorpion controlling a human-like puppet and continuously manipulating the black magnetic sand to attack, Maki dodged in a panic, without any ability to fight back. Ye Lan suddenly sped up and came directly to Maki.

"You're finally here." Maki finally felt a little relieved when he saw Ye Lan carrying the other party's companion, and said breathlessly.

"What's going on with Hong and the others?" Ye Lan asked seriously, leaving Deidara behind.
