"You're here, Kabuto. You've worked so hard these past few years."
An old voice came from the severely hunched figure under the red cloud cloak.
"No, no, it's my honor to serve the master..." Kabuto looked very obedient.
"Have you sorted out the information for the past year?"
"Of course."
Kabuto walked across the bridge of heaven and earth, and the two of them gradually approached. Kabuto was about to hand the sealed scroll in his hand to Scorpion.
It contained useful information obtained from Orochimaru in the past year, as well as Orochimaru's research results... the parts that could be leaked!
That's right, the reason why Kabuto was able to hide for so many years without being discovered by Scorpion was because Orochimaru would reveal some "leaky" information to him every year, some of which were very valuable to Scorpion.
Because of Guan Liyuan's reminder, in order to avoid complications, Orochimaru did not plan to "kill the pig" of Scorpion this year, and Kabuto did not know whether Guan Liyuan would come. In short, as long as Guan Liyuan did not show up, he would still pretend to be Scorpion's man...
The scroll in Kabuto's hand was also prepared by Orochimaru for him. In addition to information about himself, there were also some information in the alliance with low encryption levels.
Seeing that the scroll was about to be handed to Scorpion, even Kabuto thought that when Guan Liyuan did not come this time, an "accident" happened!
The ground behind Scorpion suddenly broke open, and a cold light flashed, directly piercing Scorpion...
"Ah! Damn... Who is it!" Scorpion turned his head and glared.
At the same time, Kabuto immediately went around behind Scorpion and took defensive actions. Guan Liyuan said that even if he showed up, as long as it was not a very urgent situation, Kabuto did not need to cooperate with the action, and he could continue to pretend to be on Scorpion's side.
However, at this time, Kabuto was stunned...
The weapon that had just broken out of the ground and pierced "Scorpion" was a chain-structured lock spike, and at the other end in the distance, two figures wearing "red cloud cloaks" stood in place.
One of them was Scorpion. At this time, behind him, an iron chain ninja tool that looked like a tail was piercing the ground. The tip of the other end of the lock spike pierced the "Scorpion" in front of Kabuto!
The familiar figure and the familiar ninja tool made Kabuto's pupils shrink, and then he immediately reacted and jumped to the side away from both of them, holding a kunai and looking at the "two Scorpions" warily.
"Humph, have you forgotten who saved you from the pursuit of the roots?" Scorpion, who was standing with Deidara, said.
"Master? Who is he?" Kabuto seemed to have confirmed that the attacker was the real Scorpion.
At this moment, the pierced Scorpion gradually turned into the "prototype"...
It was not like the transformation technique, which transformed in a puff of green smoke, but it just stretched out in a fair and open form. Gradually, a humanoid "ninja beast" appeared in front of Kabuto.
If it was a normal transformation, Kabuto would have been able to tell it, but in fact, if Scorpion hadn't been right next to him, even Deidara wouldn't have been able to tell it was a fake.
There was no suspicious chakra fluctuation at all...
"Huh? What kind of ninja beast is this? There's no flaw at all after the transformation?" Scorpion is also a ninja known for his erudition, but he didn't recognize what he saw.
The whole body was covered in black fur, a fox-like head, and long, fiery red hair that was as long as the body and looked bigger than the body when it was fluffy...
Unfortunately, no matter how erudite Scorpion was, he couldn't recognize what it was... If he had a Pokémon illustrated book, he could easily tell that it was "Zoroark"! It
wasn't "Tomoko", but another Zoroark that Guan Liyuan had contracted... In addition to the mythical beasts, there were very few Pokémon that weren't in the "
World's No. 1 House". Although Zoroark was very rare, Guan Liyuan still found a Zoroark during his last stay in the Pokémon world and trained it to evolve into a Zoroark.
But Zoroark was not in a good condition at this time.
His chest had been pierced, and because of the poison, his whole body was paralyzed.
"Tell me, where is your master? If you tell me, you can die more easily." Scorpion said.
But at this moment, Zoroark sneered in an anthropomorphic way, and then turned into green smoke and disappeared on the spot!
"No! Is it a time-space ninjutsu?" Deidara immediately became alert.
In Deidara and Scorpion's common sense, even the "fairyland" ninja beasts did not automatically "return to the city" after being seriously injured, and they could be killed. But now the other party disappeared before death, it is very likely that the other party's master used some kind of time-space ninjutsu!
In principle, the two people guessed wrong, but the conclusion was "a blind cat meets a dead mouse".
At the head of the Tiandi Bridge, where the mysterious ninja beast disappeared, a "golden ring" appeared out of thin air, and then instantly expanded to the size of a portal, and then three people walked out of it.
One of the people was known to Scorpion and Deidara, and the other two were young people. It was obvious that one of the young people was the leader, and the other two followed behind him. There was also a cute little thing with several golden rings on its body, floating around the young man in the lead!
"Kakuzu? What does this mean? Aren't you going to explain it?" Deidara narrowed his eyes and looked at the only one he knew among the three.
That's right, the other two of the three were naturally Guan Liyuan and Sasuke. As for Sakura and Karin, because they had limited role in the battle, Guan Liyuan arranged them in the town to wait for news.
At the beginning, Guan Liyuan and the other three also ambushed far away... a place that was not close from the map!
After all, Scorpion was also an old fox, and Deidara could patrol in the air. In order to ensure that this ambush would never be discovered, Guan Liyuan thought of a "true and false" idea.
First of all, he, Kakuzu, and Sasuke did not appear near the Tiandi Bridge at all. They only used their space ability to rush there directly after ensuring that the other party arrived.
However, in this case, he still had to "monitor" the Tiandi Bridge to ensure that he was notified after Scorpion and Deidara appeared.
Although ordinary Pokémon could also serve as a monitor if they stayed here, Pokémon appeared as Ninja Beasts in the Naruto world, and it can be clearly felt that they have chakra.
Even if it was just a Magikarp in the water, as long as Scorpion was careful enough to slip, it would be discovered!
Therefore, Guan Liyuan simply let Zoroark come out and transform into Scorpion. Zoroark's "transformation" is conservatively estimated to be at the same level as White Zetsu, and it cannot be detected by conventional means. Moreover, Zoroark's transformation does not require the absorption of the opponent's chakra.
Zoroark only read the appearance, temperament and chakra fluctuations of Scorpion in Kakuzu's memory, and perfectly imitated it.
At the beginning, he even deceived Kabuto, and it was not until he was sure that Scorpion and Deidara appeared that Guan Liyuan brought Kakuzu and Sasuke and rushed over using the wormhole gold ring of Xiao Hupa...
"You two are Scorpion of the Sand Village and Deidara of the Rock Village, right? I am Guan Liyuan, the Grand Speaker of the Update Federation, and I have something to talk to you about." Guan Liyuan said with a smile.
"It's very similar to Zetsu, a ninja beast that can transform perfectly... and the most difficult time-space ninjutsu to master... It seems that the Grand Speaker really wants to see us."
Scorpion's voice was hoarse and helpless. He was obviously very careful, but the situation in front of him had exceeded his common sense of anti-reconnaissance!
