Without the protection of the Scarlet Amber, the Scorpion of the Red Sand finally revealed its true face. With beautiful red hair, amber eyes, and a young and handsome appearance, it is almost hard to imagine that this boy next door is the same person as the puppeteer in the Scarlet Amber shell. At first glance, it seems that he is about the same age as Deidara, or even a little younger. But judging from the battle just now, the sense of disharmony is too strong.

"Is this person really a ninja from your Sand Ninja?" Seeing Scorpion's true face, the surprised Hyuga Hiashi didn't even bother to care about Mizuki's injury at first. "When did your Sand Ninja have such a young strong man?"

"No, there doesn't seem to be anyone stronger than me among the Sand Ninjas of our age~" Gaara replied, "If this is his true appearance, I don't think I've ever seen him."

Gaara denied Hinata Hiashi's guess.

"Maybe this person is really a traitor from the Sand Village." Temari and Hinata Ko, who saw the broken Scarlet Flow Amber not far away, also hurried over to help. "With this facial feature, if the records of the Sand Village are correct, it is very likely that this person..."

After saying this, even Temari seemed surprised by her own guess.

"You mean the genius puppeteer? Grandma Chiyo's grandson?" Gaara said in surprise, "He does look alike. We've seen a few photos of him when he was very young, but is he really the same person as this? Didn't they say he's missing? Even if he's still alive, he must be at least thirty years old. How could he look like this?"

Judging from his appearance, Scorpion is about fifteen or sixteen years old, not much older than Temari.

"But if it's really him~" Temari continued, "things will be really troublesome~"

"Human puppet?" Gaara said unconsciously.

The thought of being killed by such an absurdly powerful being, not to mention the possibility of having one's body made into various puppets, is chilling enough.

"Well, now that it's like this, I don't know what kind of strong man you are talking about, but even if he is the former Kazekage, he won't scare us into fleeing without a fight~"

Hinata Hiashi's words immediately left everyone speechless.

"What a bad mouth! Kazekage, maybe we'll really have to face each other soon~"

It is estimated that only Mizuki and Gaara and Temari who had guessed it were mentally prepared for this. Others probably didn't take Hyuga Hiashi's boasting to boost morale seriously. However, Hyuga Hiashi also has the qualifications to brag. As long as the soft fist is not too difficult to deal with, Hyuga Hiashi is confident that he can fight for 300 rounds. The degree of unreasonableness of the Byakugan plus the soft fist is probably only slightly worse than that of the Sharingan.

"Shuimu, can you still hold on?" Hinata Hiashi asked Shuimu who was not far away. The knife attack just now was very strong. If Shuimu had not been so fierce in the previous few blows, anyone else would never think that there was still hope.

Hinata Ke hurried to Mizuki, took out a small medicine bottle, took out a few small pills and fed them into Mizuki's mouth, then helped Mizuki sit up slightly, and quickly put a tactical bandage on Mizuki to bandage the bleeding wound.

"Ahem." Shuimu spat out a few mouthfuls of bloody saliva and said with all his strength, "I won't die for now, but if I can't beat that puppeteer later, I'm afraid I won't be saved~"

Mizuki knew deeply that it was not time to rest yet. If he really fainted at this moment, the future story of the ninja world might not have much to do with him.

"That's good." Hinata Hiashi felt a little relieved. Being able to tell cold jokes meant that he would not die for a while. The omnipotent potion had been verified many times. For people who knew about it, its powerful efficacy had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as he did not die on the spot, the chances of survival were still great. As for the side effects, they would talk about it later. If the person died, it would be all over.

While Mizuki was trying to circulate his chakra and use the palm magic to heal himself, Hyuga Hiashi quickly passed Yuhi Kurenai and used a set of soft fists to force the Red Sand Scorpion to retreat. Yuhi Kurenai, who was originally facing the Red Sand Scorpion, breathed a sigh of relief. A puppeteer and an illusion ninja, neither of them is a serious physical ninja. In a head-on confrontation, they rely entirely on their basic skills. Although neither of them is good at physical skills, their fighting ability is much stronger than most ninjas. In comparison, the Red Sand Scorpion has a little more advantage. The puppet itself is not afraid of pain and does not care much about being injured. It can use some fighting methods that hurt both sides. In addition, some small mechanisms on the body have greatly enriched the Scorpion's fighting style, and it can always give some fatal blows in the position where Yuhi Kurenai is not very comfortable. Therefore, after Yuhi Kurenai tried several illusions and had no effect, and was hesitant in close combat and unable to exert her strength, she felt very difficult.

"It seems that today is indeed Yuhi Kurenai's unlucky day. Not only was she suppressed to death, but she finally had an opportunity and wasted it~"

Hyuga Hiashi fought with great vigor, even though his body was quite exhausted. However, not only had he been frustrated for a long time without doing anything, he also needed a Sand Shinobi Genin to save the situation, even though he was a Jinchūriki. When he himself was at a loss, it was Mizuki, a Chunin whom he had never taken seriously before, who made the final decision and broke the deadlock. How could he, who took the pride of the strongest family in Hyuga as his motto, accept this?

Now that Fei Liuhu's defense has finally been broken, the previous dilemma of not being able to find a point of attack has finally been improved. Scorpion, whose true form has been revealed, obviously does not have Fei Liuhu's terrible defense, but his speed and flexibility have been greatly improved. Although it is not known what powerful abilities he has, it is much better than before. Moreover, in close combat with the Hyuga family, there are really few people in this world who are stronger than Hyuga Hiashi. As a puppeteer, Scorpion is obviously not one of them.

Scorpion of the Red Sand obviously knew what Hyuga Hiashi was planning. He took advantage of his body's flexibility and kept dodging Hyuga Hiashi's attacks, which was exactly the opposite of the previous situation.

In Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, the Red Sand Scorpion's true form was revealed, and a hint of its physical condition could be barely revealed.

"Is it still a puppet? However, without the chakra threads to control it, is it still a puppet similar to the previous armored shell? It doesn't feel right~"

The chakra flow in Scorpion's body is obviously different from that of ordinary people, which means that the person opposite is just a puppet. However, it is different from the state of Fei Liuhu. It is not a person hiding inside, but only a large amount of chakra flows out from the area near the heart of the chest, a sealed object that even the Byakugan cannot see through, to control the operation of the puppet body.

"Is that the weak spot? If I destroy that thing, I will be able to inflict fatal damage to the opponent~"

Because he is not a puppeteer, he still does not know Scorpion's condition, but it does not affect Hyuga Hiashi's judgment. The weakness of the regeneration core cannot be hidden under the Byakugan. However, the wish is good, but it is difficult to achieve. The weak points and vital points are often the most heavily guarded places. Without special methods, it is really not easy to hit the regeneration core of the Red Sand Scorpion.

Even though he was at a disadvantage, Scorpion of the Red Sand had no intention of being impatient. Having given up his human body and spirit, his desires were much weaker than before. Apart from a few people who could make Scorpion's mind fluctuate, there was hardly any situation that could make him anxious. What's more, he was far from revealing his trump card.

"What should I use?"

In the main body state, although the defense is not good, but with good flexibility, plus the use of rolling to release powerful ninjutsu, it is actually a very good means of attack, but...

"The opponent is not incompetent either, so I won't use this ninjutsu to bully rookies. Then..."

Having made up his mind, Scorpion of the Red Sand no longer hesitated. He used the opportunity of the sword wheel to force away Hyuga Hiashi, and then took the opportunity to dodge Gaara's big hand that grabbed the sand. He ignored the kunai thrown by Yuhi Kurenai, letting it hit his body, making a crisp impact sound, and then fell to the ground.

"Red Secret Technique - Hundred Machines Exercise~" Then, hundreds of chakra threads emerged from the regeneration core on the Red Sand Scorpion's chest, connecting and controlling the hundreds of puppets released from the sealing scroll.

If it were during the day, such power would indeed be worthy of the term "covering the sky and blocking out the sun", but at night, it was also an incredible sight. Originally, the scene could only be distinguished by the dim moonlight. Nearly a hundred puppets flying in the sky dimmed the moonlight.

Seeing such a horrific scene, everyone present was stunned with fear.

"Is this the Hundred Machines Exercise where one person can destroy an entire country? I've known about this for a long time, but seeing it with my own eyes, I really can't resist..."

"There's no doubt about it, this person is definitely the former Sand Ninja's genius puppeteer - Red Sand Scorpion, and also Grandma Chiyo's favorite grandson~" The only one who can perform Sand Ninja-style puppetry to this extent must be the Red Sand Scorpion, about whom various legends are still circulating in the village.

"A traitor from your Sand Ninja? He actually has this level of strength. The Kage of a village is no more than this, right?" Hinata Hiashi asked in surprise, "How could such a person become a traitor?"

Such a person is a valuable asset to every ninja village, how could he become a traitor so easily? At least Hyuga Hiashi himself had never heard of the Sand Ninja issuing a wanted order for Scorpion.

"It's actually very difficult to talk about this matter." Temari said awkwardly, "Although I don't know much about the details of this long-ago event, it is said that Scorpion did not defect, but disappeared, along with the Sandaimei Kazekage..."

Although Scorpion was also a rare genius puppeteer, the news of his disappearance was overshadowed by the disappearance of the Third Kazekage who disappeared almost at the same time, and did not cause any waves. However, the incident of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage eventually triggered the Third Ninja World War.

"Such an important matter was actually kept secret by the Sand Ninja." The always less visible Kurenai Yuhi suggested, "The former genius has now become such a terrifying traitor, and has even targeted the One-Tail Jinchuriki. This is not something that can be fooled by a simple talk. Also, should we retreat?"

In this situation, six people may not be able to win even in their prime, let alone when they have consumed so much energy, there is no chance. And it is not known whether the Red Sand Scorpion has other trump cards.

After thinking for a while, Hinata Hiashi finally ordered: "Retreat..."

If we continue fighting, it's not completely hopeless. The power of the soft fist is not weak in dealing with puppets. We just need to cut off the chakra threads. However, there are too many puppets. If we really fight head-on, even if we win, most of our side will be killed, not to mention that the chances of winning are not great.

Seeing that Hinata Hiashi had made the decision, Mizuki also stood up reluctantly. With the help of the potion and the non-stop treatment of the Palm Fairy Technique, he finally recovered a little bit of mobility.

"But how can we escape? We just forced Scorpion to perform the Hundred Machines Exercise, and now we are done for. We paid such a huge price, but we only defeated Deidara and let Scorpion practice puppetry? We didn't even use the puppet of the Third Kazekage. Are we not even qualified to see Sand Iron Realm Technique, Sand Iron Scattering Strike, etc.?"

Compared with the mission to recapture Gaara three years later, what was missing this time? In fact, Mizuki had thought about it carefully. First, it was the lack of Uzumaki Naruto, a physical monster, who defeated Deidara with the help of Hatake Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan. The second was that Haruno Sakura defeated Sasori with the help of Chiyo. If you can barely count, Hyuga Hiashi can play the role of Hatake Kakashi, but Chiyo's replacement does not seem to be there. When the combat power of a ninja like Kurenai is extremely high, if he cannot improve his special illusion to a higher level, at least to the level of Uchiha Itachi after removing the Moon Reading, it will be useless. Even if he can succeed once by surprise, the general two-person team can help each other to overcome the difficulties. No wonder Kurenai was almost in a semi-retired state in the later period, and the eighth team was almost disbanded in essence.

"It's not that Xi Ri Hong's strength is not enough, it's just that the world is changing too fast."

If Shuimu develops step by step and doesn't mess around, it will probably reach this level in a few years.

The last role of Haruno Sakura is simply irreplaceable. No one can use her supernatural power of "Sakura Rush" to defeat Kiryuko, break the Sand Iron Jutsu of the Third Kazekage, and then cooperate with Chiyo to win the Hundred Machine Operation.

As for the others, Hinata Ko was a good player, but he couldn't play a core role. Temari and Gaara were useful, but seeing how exhausted they were, Mizuki didn't think it was the fault of these two young men. So, even if Mizuki unexpectedly injured Deidara and defeated the Higurashi, it would be useless if they didn't have enough fighting power.

"Come closer to me, fight while retreating, target, Konoha." Hyuga Hiashi made the decision to return to Konoha and give up the mission. Although it was embarrassing, there was nothing to say since he was not as skilled as others. This situation was no longer something that the current few people could deal with.

"After all this trouble, are you still going to run away in a panic? But if you can't get away, then throw a big bomb and risk your life to see who the world favors..."
