Chapter 123 Repel



"There are others?" Hinata Hiashi asked doubtfully, "Are there many jonin in the village now?"

Konoha is in a mess right now, and ninjas are needed everywhere to help. Ninjutsu is not only a destructive skill with great power, but also can be very helpful in construction. For example, Tenzo's Wood Release is very useful in many cases, and is much more convenient than the step-by-step method of ordinary people.

Might Guy, who was about to answer Hinata Hiashi's question, suddenly noticed the actions of Scorpion.

"We'll talk later." Might Guy packed up his medicine and ninja tools, then stepped forward again. Might Guy, who was extremely fast, used his flexibility to not only dodge the sand and iron attacks of the Third Kazekage puppet, but also constantly threatened the Red Sand Scorpion.

"It feels like a larger Rock Lee versus a more powerful Gaara. If they keep fighting like this, it will probably take a long time to decide the winner..."

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Shuimu temporarily put Yuhi Kurenai down and handed her over to Hyuga Ke to take care of her. The series of incidents just now were too much for Shuimu to bear, and he had to stop and recover for a while.

Mizuki, who was able to stop and take a breath, watched the battle between Might Guy and Scorpion not far away. The fighting styles of the two were very different, but they restrained each other. The puppet body and the powerful Sand Iron Technique, as well as the Sand Iron Technique that could not be used temporarily, were actually the Red Sand Scorpion's big killer against ninjas like Might Guy. However, Might Guy's speed and strength were his greatest reliance. The speed was so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, so that no matter how powerful the attack was, it could not keep up with the rhythm. If it could not hit, no magical ninjutsu would be effective. Moreover, the huge destructive power of Might Guy's steel fist taijutsu, plus a series of continuous attack skills, as well as the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu and some of its supporting stunts, were all powerful weapons for Might Guy to fight against Scorpion.

"Should we go up and help?" Mizuki asked Hinata Hiashi who was also recovering his strength at the side: "In this situation, it seems that we can't help..."

After listening to Mizuki's suggestion, Hinata Hiashi thought for a while, and then replied: "The situation is favorable to us now, and there is still a strong reinforcement that has not arrived. It is best to delay time temporarily."

"Is that so?" Shuimu nodded. "Should we go around and capture a prisoner now? That guy playing with the bomb shouldn't be able to escape..."

"Who's going?" Hinata Hiashi asked back, "Our current location is not close to where we were just now. It's unwise to leave the team at this time. Let's just give up. And the people on the other side are obviously from an organization. There's no guarantee that there won't be other tough enemies hiding nearby..."

Mizuki nodded, acknowledging Hyuga Hiashi's judgment. Mizuki just said it casually. With Deidara's shrewdness, it is hard to say whether Mizuki has any trump cards or back-up plans that he does not know. Moreover, Hyuga Hiashi's words reminded Mizuki that the current situation is not safe. The dangerous person codenamed "Xuanwu" of the "Akatsuki" organization, Zetsu, may be nearby, observing the battle here. If this is true, it is really not good news. It is indeed not a good idea to act alone at this time, so Mizuki had to give up the idea of ​​capturing Deidara alive.

Since he couldn't help the battle for the time being, Shuimu stopped worrying about it and turned back to Hinata Ke and asked, "What's the situation?"

Without even raising his head, Hinata Ko meticulously used medical ninjutsu to treat Yuhi Kurenai's external injuries, while answering, "The situation is not very good, but it has not continued to deteriorate. Your medicine is effective. The toxin has not caused a fatal effect, but it has caused extremely serious damage. Coupled with the severe external injuries, it is good enough that she is alive and not in danger of life for the time being."

After listening to what Hinata said, Mizuki also sighed. Yuhi Kurenai's condition was not unexpected. Her life was probably saved, but it was hard to say how long she would need to recuperate and whether there would be any sequelae. However, this was something that would happen after she returned to Konoha Village safely. Mizuki was about to speak when he suddenly felt a figure suddenly appear beside him, and then a voice came over: "How is Kurenai?" The person who came was Sarutobi Asuma who had just arrived in a hurry.

Mizuki gestured in the direction of Yuhi Kurenai: "It's over there. I'm sure you've seen the situation. It's not very good~"

At this moment, Xi Ri Hong looked very bad. Not only was she unconscious, but she also had many external injuries, especially a horrific wound on her abdomen, which was shocking.

Asuma was so concerned that his beard seemed to tremble with excitement, and his right hand unconsciously rested on Mizuki's shoulder.

Shuimu turned his head to look at the hand on his shoulder, and then continued: "How serious the situation is, I'm sure you can tell from his appearance. This is the effect of the potion~"

"The one you invented?"

"Yes." Shui Mu nodded and confirmed, "I'm sure you know the sequelae of this. You may need to recuperate for a while when you return. As for the sequelae, we will let professional doctors deal with it."

"Since it's already like this now, the situation before must have been even worse~" Thinking this, Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but increase the strength on Mizuki's shoulders.

"It really hurts. It looks like the part that was hit by the Red Sand Scorpion is showing signs of cracking again~"

Asuma was too concerned and didn't pay attention to other things, Shuimu could understand that. But now was not the right time to be so sentimental.

"You won't die for now, Asuma Jonin~" Mizuki turned to Sarutobi Asuma and said with a smile, "But if you don't let go, it might really be dangerous. I'm going to use this arm to heal the wound."

"Sorry, I lost my composure~" Asuma let go of his hand embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter. It's human nature to worry about the safety of your lover."

This time, Sarutobi Asuma did not deny Mizuki Wuxin's words. He nodded in agreement.

"How is your injury?" Looking at Asuma, whose arm was still bandaged, Shuimu couldn't help but ask worriedly. At this moment when facing a strong enemy, it would be troublesome if teammates were not in good condition.

"Well, it was taken care of yesterday. It's fine now." Asuma gestured and moved his arm.

"That's good, but now is not the time for small talk." Mizuki suggested, "The Kai jonin over there needs your help, so leave this to me for now."

"Thank you for your help. I'll go over first." Asuma Sarutobi, who had been delayed for a while, waved his hand and prepared to leave.

"Be careful, that puppeteer is definitely a strong man above the standard, not much weaker than the shadows of the five major ninja villages, be careful."

On the other side, Might Guy was facing the Red Sand Scorpion, and he was obviously in a dilemma of not being able to use his strength. At the beginning, it was not bad. The Sand Iron of the Third Kazekage puppet could not keep up with his speed. Even Sand Iron Shigure could not do anything to him. However, the Red Sand Scorpion, who was experienced in combat, changed his tactics directly. In a head-on battle, using Sand Iron Scattering is obviously more effective than using Sand Iron Shigure, especially for a speed-type physical ninja like Might Guy. After being hit by the main body several times, although the main body puppet did not suffer too serious injuries, the Red Sand Scorpion, who was at a disadvantage, still made changes.

Although the speed was very slow, the iron sand mist that permeated around the Red Sand Scorpion made it impossible for Might Guy to gallop around recklessly, and he had to consider whether he could withstand the damage.

Just when Might Guy was at a loss and had no idea what to do, Asuma Sarutobi finally joined the battlefield. As an extremely powerful melee ninja in Konoha, Asuma, who had been a guardian ninja, had extremely rich combat experience. The arrival of such a powerful reinforcement immediately put Scorpion under increased pressure.

Asuma, who had just arrived at the battlefield, immediately launched an ash burn. At this time, the Red Sand Scorpion was using the Sand Iron Scattering Attack. This loose mist-like sand iron could not stop the attack of flames, heat and high-temperature smoke. The smoke cloud that penetrated instantly penetrated the iron sand mist and directly wrapped the Red Sand Scorpion in it.

"Asuma, well done~" Being able to seize the opportunity and strike effectively at this time, Asuma Sarutobi's strength is indeed eye-catching. He also has rich combat experience and immediately grasped the weakness of the Sand Iron Scatter Strike.

"It's okay, we need to make a quick decision~" Sarutobi Asuma said, "Hurry up and defeat them and return to Konoha as soon as possible. The others don't seem to be in good condition."

"Understood." Might Guy nodded to show that he understood.

The first to act was Asuma Sarutobi. He poured powerful wind-attribute chakra into his ninja tools and used his chakra blade. As Asuma swung his arms, the tail of the blade flashed with a light blue blade light. The chakra blade and the ninjutsu Flying Swallow - Sky Piercing were used. With the help of the secret technique Green Storm Gale, the attack range was greatly increased. A chakra blade was thrown out from Asuma Sarutobi's hand. Its huge power made Scorpion of the Red Sand dare not be careless. The sand iron mist obviously could not stop this chakra blade with wind-attribute properties. As a last resort, Scorpion of the Red Sand mobilized a large amount of sand iron to form a sand iron shield for defense again.

However, the hastily completed sand iron shield was directly pierced by the sharp blade. The Red Sand Scorpion did not dare to be careless and dodged quickly. Fortunately, the speed of the chakra knife that passed through the sand iron shield was greatly reduced, allowing the Red Sand Scorpion to calmly avoid the vital points. Although it still cut a cut on its arm, it was not a big deal for the puppet. The chakra knife was too flexible in Yuan Fei Asuma's hands. Its huge cutting power made it impossible to block the sand iron if it was not strong enough.

As a result, he was too focused on Asuma's threat and neglected to guard against Might Guy. He used too much sand iron to defend against the chakra knife, and the sand iron mist naturally had a flaw. Might Guy, who was extremely fast, did not waste this opportunity. With a smooth Konoha fluid technique, Scorpion was beaten without any chance to fight back. It was a nightmare for the puppeteer to be close to a physical technique master like Might Guy. If his body had not been turned into a puppet long ago, Scorpion would have been finished long ago.

"Should we retreat? It looks like we're going to fail this mission~"

The unexpected arrival of reinforcements was already an unexpected situation, and there were two of these powerful jonin at once. The two sides cooperated well, and their strengths and weaknesses complemented each other, making it difficult for Scorpion to deal with them. In addition, there was a Hyuga Hiashi who was recovering his chakra behind him. It was too difficult for one person to face this situation, so Scorpion couldn't help but want to leave.

"It's still that idiot Deidara who's holding us back. If there were two of us, we wouldn't be so helpless."

Without the Hundred Machines Exercise, it was indeed a bit powerless when facing the enemy with numerical superiority. Of course, there were other means, but apart from increasing consumption, it did not help the situation.

Now that he had made up his mind, Scorpion of the Red Sand no longer hesitated. Defeating the enemy seemed a little difficult at the moment, but retreating was relatively simple, especially for a puppeteer of Scorpion's level. Hiding himself and escaping were the top priorities.

Enduring the partial destruction of the human puppet's body, dozens of them operated the iron sand to force Might Guy back, and then circulated their chakra.

"Sand Iron Boundary Technique~" As the most powerful area attack ninjutsu was used, countless sand iron cones formed in the sky, which quickly spread around under the influence of the magnetic field and penetrated into the nearby land.

"Retreat quickly~" Seeing the bad situation, Might Guy and Asuma retreated quickly.

The battlefield was now covered with countless iron sands with irregular attack directions, making it impossible for anyone to get close. The two people who had escaped the iron sand boundary method could only watch the Red Sand Scorpion calmly escape from the two people's double-team. When the iron sand boundary method's attack finally ended, the Red Sand Scorpion was no longer visible.

"Do you want to chase him?" Asuma asked.

"You stay and watch, I'll go give chase~"

Mizuki, who was watching the battle from a distance, finally breathed a sigh of relief as the Red Sand Scorpion retreated.

"I managed to save my life. It was so thrilling. I didn't expect that I could beat up Deidara, slash the Red Sand Scorpion, and still survive~"

After relaxing, Shuimu also felt a little tired. However, now was not the time to rest because a seriously injured person was waiting for him to save his life.

"What's the situation?" Asuma lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and asked Mizuki.

"Her life should be saved, but~" Mizuki thought for a moment and then said, "It's hard to say whether this injury will affect her future career as a ninja. In my opinion, the village cannot completely cure her at the moment. Of course, if Lady Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, is here, there might be a chance~" Although increasing the dosage of the all-purpose potion might save her, the situation is already very serious. If the dosage is increased further, she might become a vegetable like Gekko Gale.

After hearing what Mizuki said, Asuma said comfortingly, "It's already very good. As for Lady Tsunade, the village now has a plan. Lord Jiraiya is the first candidate, and Lady Tsunade is the backup candidate. If neither of them is willing to come back to take over as the Fifth Hokage~" Asuma blew out a smoke ring, and then said with a worried look on his face, "Let Elder Danzo Shimura take over. And the reason why Kai and I were sent for this mission was because Elder Danzo insisted."
