If its arms had been undamaged before, with the arm wings balanced, the Third Kazekage human puppet could have dodged directly with its speed.
If it hadn't released the magnetic power ultimate move, consuming excessive iron sand, it could have raised a wall of iron sand to directly withstand the impact with a solid barrier.
However, there were no ifs.
The Third Kazekage human puppet couldn't dodge, nor could it withstand the impact, and was directly submerged by the surging mudflow, crashing heavily to the ground.
When it was lured by Orochimaru, standing on top of Manda, to try to launch a decapitation tactic, this scene was already destined, only the method and timing were different.
Scorpion's mind flickered, knowing this clearly. This was the difference in information and hard power. He was not discouraged.
He controlled Hiruko to jump up, dodging the aftereffects of the muddy torrent. At the same time, he strengthened the Chakra threads of the Third Kazekage human puppet, wanting to pull it out of the muddy torrent.
If the Third Kazekage were still alive, enduring this mudflow attack would likely result in serious injuries even if he didn't die. But now that his body had been turned into a human puppet, it had lost most of the weaknesses of a human.
As long as he, the puppeteer, was not harmed, even if the Third Kazekage human puppet was further damaged, it could continue to attack under the control of the puppet threads.
This was how it should be.
Inside Hiruko, Scorpion's face was ugly. His expression didn't change much, but it revealed an extremely gloomy aura.
He had already maximized the strength of the Chakra threads, but the Third Kazekage puppet seemed to be sinking into a swamp, not only failing to escape, but sinking deeper and deeper.
How could this be possible?
Scorpion turned his gaze to the gray mud and stone, his eyes changing several times.
This was definitely not ordinary Earth Release!
"Idiot, you dare to take my Sage Art head-on."
Only now, after receiving Orochimaru's instructions, Manda, who had long been unable to restrain its nature, let out a wild laugh, explaining its move like a proper villain.
"Don't worry, once your little toy is petrified, you're next."
Amidst the hissing and mad laughter of the giant snake, its giant tail, like a long whip, swung wildly, fiercely hitting the scaffolding made of iron sand and mud.
This temporary prison was on the verge of collapse, and clearly couldn't trap it for too long.
"Sage Art?"
Inside Hiruko, Scorpion was shocked to hear this term. He never expected that a mere beast could also use Sage Art.
Among the ninja of the ninja world, only Jiraiya of Konoha could openly use Sage Art. Even the man in the Akatsuki organization who called himself God had not learned it.
The power of this Sage Art was indeed very powerful. With just one oversight, his strongest human puppet had become trapped.
Scorpion's eyes flickered. If things continued like this, he really might die today.
With this thought, Hiruko leaped up and fled directly into the distance, actually cutting his losses and abandoning this precious human puppet.
Scorpion's thinking was very clear. Even if he used ninjutsu to break through the petrified mudflow, the rescued Third Kazekage might not be able to carry him to fly again.
And this time would be enough for Orochimaru to escape the prison, and he would once again face the siege of one person and one snake.
It would be unwise to risk his life for a tool.
As long as he was still alive, as long as there were powerful ninja in this ninja world, human puppets would never be lacking.
"Finally, let's make use of it one last time."
Scorpion glanced at the mudflow, not only ceasing to control it, but directly returning the consciousness to the Third Kazekage, speeding up his awakening.
Trapped within the body, a long-dormant soul began to awaken from its daze, regaining its sanity.
…
"Scorpion that guy, he actually just ran away?"
Kakuzu naturally noticed the situation over there, and was shocked.
But he didn't question it, nor did he think about sticking it out alone. Instead, he forcibly pushed back the crazed Tsunade, preparing to escape directly.
Although Kakuzu didn't know exactly what had happened, he trusted his teammate's judgment.
Moreover, if Killer Bee could be scared away, and the arrogant and rational Scorpion could be defeated so easily, he had to reassess Orochimaru's strength, and whether the mission was still possible to complete.
"Want to run?"
In her wild state, Tsunade's instincts had also become incredibly sharp. Although Kakuzu hadn't started to retreat yet, his fading fighting spirit had completely exposed his thoughts.
Having been chased for so long, and forced to reveal such a sorry state, Tsunade was unwilling to swallow such a big loss.
She let out a roar, and actually disregarded her injuries, directly crashing into Kakuzu's wind and fire ninjutsu.
"Fool, completely lost your mind, haven't you?"
A hint of ridicule flashed in Kakuzu's eyes. Regardless of Chakra loss, he further strengthened the power of the ninjutsu.
He had originally planned to give up on this ninjutsu, but it would be a pity to waste such a good opportunity.
The red-masked monster opened its mouth and spat out fire. The raging flames spurted out, burning towards Tsunade.
The blue-masked monster pushed the whirlwind, arriving first, using the wind to boost the fire, turning the flames into a fire dragon, howling toward her.
Tsunade ran wildly, the fire dragon in front of her making her face red. Even she couldn't ignore such power, and might even be burned to a crisp.
But Tsunade didn't retreat, and instead advanced, suddenly biting her fingertip, forming a hand seal, "Summoning Technique!"
The white smoke was blown and burned away by the fire dragon, but it seemed to crash into a giant wall, making it difficult to move forward even a foot.
"Hiss… Little Tsunade, don't use me as a shield!"
A gentle female voice rang out in the jungle, with a bit of affectionate complaint.
However, the faint blue light rising from the surface of her body completely blocked the force of the fire dragon, and even the moist skin that was initially burned by the flames gradually healed, returning to its original state.
Tsunade jumped onto the Slug Sage's massive spine, overlooking Kakuzu, who was spitting wind and fire, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes.
Kakuzu's guess was the opposite of reality. Tsunade had not only not lost her mind, but had gradually woken up from the extreme pain.
The Senju clan's special physique gave her extremely strong adaptability. In this case, the word 'adaptability' should be written as 'numbness'.
But Tsunade would rather not wake up. Fortunately, she was not close to Kakuzu now, and would not be affected by the bloody smell on him during the battle.
With a thought, Tsunade told the Slug Sage her experience and request, asking for her help.
"I really can't do anything with you. You clearly know that I'm the worst at fighting."
The female voice was as gentle as water. The blue light flickered on her massive body, ignoring the high temperature, rushing forward at high speed in the sea of fire, directly towards the source.
At the same time, accompanied by a series of continuous loud noises of metal collision, Manda also broke free of the cage, regaining its freedom.
However, it didn't rush to chase the little bug. Its snake eyes were fixed on the figure slowly rising from the mudflow, a hint of dread flashing in its eyes.
