"A quick victory?" Although Scorpion of the Red Sand does have the strength to say such a big thing, Mizuki is also dissatisfied with being underestimated. Even if he doesn't use the Sage Mode, Mizuki is not the kind of person who will be defeated quickly, right? Mizuki, who has an outstanding ability to save his life, is not immune to the possibility of being killed instantly, but Mizuki, who can do this, does not think that Scorpion of the Red Sand is there.

Now that he has shown up, Mizuki is no longer cautious. Scorpion of the Red Sand has lost the Hiryu Amber, so if he uses other puppets, his defense will definitely drop a lot. Moreover, in a short period of time, Scorpion will not be able to quickly replenish all the puppets, so the Hundred Machines Exercise will be mostly disabled. As for other means, they are more than enough to deal with ordinary ninjas. In the face of real strong ones, these are actually not very effective. Only the Sand Iron Technique is Scorpion's current killer.

Of course, Scorpion is not completely without other means, such as the use of scrolls and other ninjutsu, and the use of poison that Mizuki is more afraid of. The former is a conventional means, but it is very powerful. The latter is more troublesome. It requires constant attention, and this may replace the last encounter, when Scorpion's Hundred Machines Operation and Sand Iron Realm Method became Mizuki's most difficult problem to deal with. Because of the lifespan of body cells, Mizuki no longer dares to use the Almighty Potion or any other overdraft potions and means. The Sage Mode does not have the ability to increase cell vitality, but it greatly prolongs the utilization efficiency of the remaining lifespan, giving Mizuki a little more time to solve the problem. However, if the body is stimulated on a large scale again, the Sage Mode will not be able to save Mizuki.

"This is a troublesome poison. This is a deadly weapon that has never been ignored since the beginning of human struggle. I don't know how many important people have died from it..."

Although Mizuki felt it was troublesome, even if he couldn't use the all-purpose potion with huge side effects, Mizuki was not without preparation. Why did he bring Shino Aburame with him? In addition to strengthening the reconnaissance ability, the various strange abilities of the insect manipulator are endless. If the Red Sand Scorpion uses a large-scale poisonous fog, it is Shino Aburame's insects that can effectively help Mizuki.

If the world were to end, and there were any animals that would have the best chance of surviving, it would be insects. Although individual insects are fragile, as a population, their adaptability is simply amazing. Their strong adaptability and reproductive capacity allow them to quickly evolve enough to ensure their ability to move in a new environment.

The strength of the insect manipulator is definitely not something as superficial as manipulating insects to fight. In the original work, how did Aburame Shino make the parasitic insects quickly adapt to Guren's Crystal Escape three years later? In a large-scale insect swarm, there will always be one or two special individuals, and then they will reproduce quickly, or pass this characteristic to other parasitic insects. Mizuki even went to Aburame Shino to verify this.

Once the time comes when it is necessary to break through the poisonous fog to attack the Red Sand Scorpion's body, or how to inflict effective damage to the enemy in the poisonous fog, the effect that the insects can have may not be worse than Mizuki's Sage Mode at times.

At the beginning, he didn't need help from others for the time being, and Shuimu also wanted to try out how powerful the effect of the Sage Mode was.

First of all, Mizuki's physical skills are very ordinary, so it is really worrying to fight with a dangerous guy like the Red Sand Scorpion without a turtle shell. Secondly, the huge strength of the giant bear under his feet is a great help, but its huge size also greatly increases its chances of being attacked. It may not be obvious when facing ordinary ninjas, but when facing the Red Sand Scorpion, most of the puppets' weapons are poisonous. Even if the bear's resistance to poison may be much stronger than that of ordinary ninjas due to its size, as long as a few more wounds are cut on its huge and difficult-to-dodge body, with the qualifications of an ordinary beast like Hata-kun, it will not last long and will die of the poison.

Therefore, in the defensive ninjutsu - Chakra Shield, Shuimu directly mobilized natural energy and began to greatly strengthen it. The chakra shield in its normal state changed from a mist of light blue chakra to a barrier emitting a transparent crystal luster. The huge barrier formed a huge shield, covering Shuimu and the giant bear under his feet. Under the midday sun, the surface was full of brilliance and brilliance, showing its extraordinary nature.

"Neither of them is a physical ninja, but now they are trying to play with pure strength. It's really hard to predict."

Compared to Mizuki's mediocre ninjutsu, Scorpion is not much better as a puppeteer. However, Scorpion is much more talented and experienced, while Mizuki is much more guilty.

Controlling the giant bear to charge towards the Red Sand Scorpion also allowed Mizuki to concentrate more on controlling the Sage Mode to a certain extent.

Scorpion of the Red Sand temporarily took out some puppets and tried to block Mizuki's crush. However, the sword did not have any effect when it hit the chakra shield. The fairy version of the chakra shield could not be easily destroyed by ordinary swords.

As the giant bear ran like a bulldozer, it occasionally swung its huge claws to smash the attacking puppets into pieces.

Seeing that the tactics really worked and had a suppressive effect on the Red Sand Scorpion, which did not have full combat power, Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief.

"My prediction was correct. The Red Sand Scorpion is indeed easier to deal with than last time. However, how can we damage his body or even his regeneration core?"

Although the puppet of Scorpion is not as tough as the puppet of Hiruga, it is much tougher than the human body due to its nature. Just like at the beginning, Shuimu sent out a fire escape enhanced by natural energy, which was very powerful. Although it did not hit Scorpion directly, it affected him in a certain direction and only burned a lot of his clothes, but the body was not seriously damaged.

"Unless it's a direct hit, or a ninjutsu with special effects, there's really no way to deal with him."

With the strength of Mizuki, it is really difficult to hit the flexible and agile main body puppet with fire escape. In the entire original work, how many ninjas were hit by ordinary fire escape? Very few. If there is no special fire escape or large-scale powerful ninjutsu, it is difficult to hit. If there is a blood talent like Kagutsuchi, it is of course another story. But at least, even if the fire escape is greatly enhanced by natural energy, it is still not very useful without the corresponding tactics and special ninjutsu.

Facing the sudden attack from Mizuki, the Red Sand Scorpion seemed unprepared and was slapped away by the giant bear.

Before it hit the ground, Shuimu attacked with a powerful fireball technique. The huge fireball, amplified by natural energy, spit out scorching flames, igniting everything nearby, and then swallowed the Red Sand Scorpion.

After more than ten seconds, the burning flames gradually went out, and the charred Red Sand Scorpion was exposed at the bottom of the pit created by the flames.

"It was solved so easily? Eh? No, it's not the real body?"

Mizuki was also shocked to find that the Scorpion that appeared before him was actually just a puppet. The puppet that was hit also had something similar to a regeneration core, but it was obviously a fake.

"Damn it, this kind of thing actually happened. If my perception was still that sharp, I would never do such a thing."

Therefore, Shuimu also discovered that the Sage Mode is a powerful special ability that directly increases combat effectiveness. Whether it is strength, speed, chakra volume, recovery ability, or even the perception of natural energy, it is greatly enhanced. As time goes by, Shuimu even feels that if it continues like this, it won't be too long before the naked eye can see natural energy. Of course, after the Sage Mode is released, the effect will also be greatly reduced. But it will also greatly enhance one's perception of natural energy. The Sage Mode, the perception of natural energy, is indeed very similar to the training of chakra manipulation, and both can be mastered with practice.

However, the bad side of Mizuki's Sage Mode also showed up. The chakra in his body was mixed and impure, with the chakra of the tailed beasts, the will of the summoned beasts, and the natural energy that was difficult to control. He also had to maintain a certain proportion. These consumed too much of his energy and greatly weakened his spiritual perception of the outside world.

"As expected, there is nothing perfect in this world."

Since he was tricked by the Red Sand Scorpion at the beginning, Shuimu began to put away some of his arrogant ambitions. In terms of combat wisdom, he was indeed no match for these talented guys.

Losing the trace of Scorpion was undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. A puppeteer hiding in the dark was much more dangerous than a puppeteer charging into battle. Without the protection of Fei Liuhu, Scorpion gave up the idea of ​​confronting Shuimu head-on and directly used the traditional puppeteer's tactics.

When Mizuki was anxiously looking for the location of the Red Sand Scorpion and on guard against possible attacks, Hyuga Neji in the back suddenly shouted over here: "Captain Mizuki, up there?"

"Up there?" Mizuki was shocked and looked up quickly, but was dazzled by the dazzling sunlight. Following the direction that Hyuga Neji knew, Mizuki only saw the bright sun. Mizuki blocked part of the light with his palm, squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and finally found a small black dot hidden under the cover of the sunlight, and this black dot quickly expanded and flew in front of Mizuki's eyes in a blink of an eye. It was a thin prism-like iron block.

"Sand Iron Art? They're using the midday sun as cover. Could it be that the Sand-Iron Art of the Third Kazekage has such a large range?"

Although he was confused, Shuimu was not idle. He quickly adjusted the direction of the chakra shield to block the attack of the sand iron prism. The chakra shield did not disappoint Shuimu. Although it failed to completely block the attack of the huge iron block, it at least greatly reduced the speed of the attack and its power.

The chakra shield was broken, but Mizuki did not panic. Under the tremendous power of the Sage Mode, the Sand Iron Knot Attack, whose power was greatly reduced, was hit by a punch from Mizuki who was close to him. A small part that was hit in the front turned directly into iron fragments and flew out, and the rest flew backwards and fell on an open space not far away, rolling several times before stopping.

"Asshole, you actually forgot about this kind of thing."

Although Shuimu fought back the attack of Sand Iron Knot directly. However, Shuimu was not standing on the ground. After the blessing of Senjutsu Chakra, Shuimu's overall quality was greatly improved. It was not a problem to face several Sand Iron Knot attacks head-on, but the giant bear under his feet was just an enhanced version of an ordinary beast. Even if his body was strong, he was directly shocked to the ground after bearing the reaction force of Sand Iron Knot. From the direction of Shuimu, it was likely that many bones were broken. Obviously, it was impossible to recover his combat effectiveness in a short time.

"An ordinary spiritual beast, it turns out that it is still useless."

The giant bear had a huge power advantage and he had high hopes for it. When facing A Fei's Wood Release, he performed quite well. But when facing the attack of the Red Sand Scorpion, he fell down directly. It seems that his weakness is too obvious.

As a last resort, Mizuki cancelled the summoning technique and made the giant bear disappear. As for future problems, they would be handed over to the fake Jinchūriki and they would naturally handle them. The key still lies on Mizuki's side.

"Ningji, look at where the puppet master's real body is?" This kind of battle situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light is what Mizuki least wants to face.

"I don't know, Captain." Hyuga Neji observed carefully for a while, but couldn't find Scorpion's true form.

"Didn't you notice? How is that possible?" Mizuki would never believe that Scorpion had the ability to avoid the Byakugan. If the legendary eye passed down by Otsutsuki Hamura was so easy to target, it wouldn't be worthy of bragging about being the strongest eye.

"No, there are several suspicious objects. Under the observation of the White Eye, it is impossible to tell which one is the real one."

"They actually played this trick..." After hearing Hyuga Neji's explanation, Mizuki immediately understood Scorpion's plan.

Since you can't avoid the Byakugan's observation, then make a few more baits. The Byakugan's observation ability is based on the differences in the meridians and chakras of the human body to distinguish different individuals. If it is an ordinary human, it is not easy to deceive the Byakugan, but Scorpion is different. He is a genius whose main body is a puppet. It is too easy to make a few things like regeneration cores and make a few substitutes.

"Is this the kind of fighting talent that geniuses are talking about? After fighting with Hinata Hiashi once, he immediately came up with a countermeasure. Will all future enemies be this kind of people? This is really troublesome."
