When Shukaku's huge sand incarnation appeared, the huge pressure forced everyone to retreat and disperse. Even if someone could fight the tailed beast, the only one who could directly wrestle with the tailed beast was Mizuki in Sage Mode, who might try it. Even Kakuzu's super strength was not enough.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gaara controlled the huge body of the tailed beast, and after several attempts, he finally broke the blockade of the Four Purple Flame Formation. The wave of the broken barrier, accompanied by the collapse of the curtain wall and the purple-black flames flying everywhere, completely destroyed the trap that trapped everyone.

"Has the trap disappeared?"

The originally precarious situation finally improved with the efforts of the One-Tail Jinchuriki Gaara. The situation that was about to be annihilated finally showed some signs of improvement.

After the barrier and traps are destroyed, the biggest benefit will soon be revealed. No matter how strong Kakuzu and Hidan are, they are just two people. There are more than one or two people who can compete with them. After the advantage in numbers is brought into play, it is still quite effective. At least, Kakuzu and Hidan are not strong enough to ignore the number of jonin.

"Gaara, come and restrain these two for now. Don't let them get close."

Maki, who felt it was too late to use the power of the tailed beast, was already quite regretful. For the Sand Village that implemented an elitist policy, every loss was no small matter, especially a jonin who was also proficient in rare sealing techniques.

Gaara nodded silently. It was already quite difficult for him to resist the invasion of Shukaku's will when he showed the full body of the tailed beast. But now he really needed the power of the tailed beast to let everyone breathe, so Gaara had to force himself to control the huge sand clone, forcing Hidan and Kakuzu to retreat, and then use Shukaku's innate ability to control the sand ninjutsu and continuously attack the enemy. This made Kakuzu and Hidan have no time to attack other people. Especially Hidan, whose body was not as flexible as Kakuzu, was hit by the flying sand balls several times. Fortunately, his immortal body was not afraid of this kind of pure physical damage. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been seriously injured and fell to the ground.

However, this also serves as a reminder to the Sand Ninjas that not only sealing techniques, but also any ninjutsu with powerful restrictive abilities are actually quite effective against Hidan. Even if he is immortal, it does not mean that he will be resurrected on the spot after being severely injured. Judging from the current situation, this is not the case.

"It would be great if Gaara could control the tailed beasts freely. Shukaku's power, in addition to wind escape, sand control and magnetic escape, also has a sealing attribute. Unfortunately, it's too early for Gaara to participate in a life-and-death battle of this magnitude."

Unlike the Konoha Collapse Plan, the use of Gaara that time did not care whether Shukaku would lose control. It would be better if Shukaku awakened perfectly, and a tailed beast with huge destructive power appeared in the enemy camp. But now there is no such condition. Almost everyone around is his own people and friendly forces. It is very important whether Gaara can effectively suppress Shukaku's will and still exert his combat effectiveness.

Seeing Gaara forced the enemy back, Maki hurried forward to where Juan fell to check on her. Juan fell to the ground sideways, the wound on her arm was secondary, the key was the wound on her abdomen, the blood had completely dyed the ground under her red. Even if the wound was not big, with so much blood, if it was an ordinary person, he would have died long ago. Although the survivability of ninjas is slightly stronger, in this situation, most of the time, the situation is not good.

Seeing this situation, Maki was quite annoyed.

"We suffered a great loss on this mission." Maki squatted down and carefully turned Juan over, facing up, and then checked her wound. "Is there no way? The medical ninja is not here now, what a jerk..."

"The bastard medical ninja you're talking about, are you talking about me?" Just when Maki was at a loss, a voice came over, and then Mizuki appeared beside Maki.

"Mizuki jonin..." Maki stood up and said politely, "You are such a joker. I wonder if you could take a look at Juan's injuries?"

Mizuki didn't waste any time and walked over to check the status of the next volume.

Soon, Shuimu shook his head and said regretfully: "I'm sorry..."

"How could this happen?" Although he had a premonition, it was still hard to accept watching his compatriot die. "He wasn't seriously injured, so he should still be able to be saved, right?"

"Alas..." Mizuki sighed and said, "The vital points are not just the brain and the heart, Maki Jonin, I understand how you feel, but it's too late."

There are so many important organs in the human body. Although the head and heart are the most directly injured, other important organs can be equally fatal if they are delayed for a while. Moreover, with so much blood loss, the body would have collapsed long ago. There are no medical conditions such as blood transfusions now. I don't know if Tsunade can save her life if she is here. At least Mizuki can't do it, and the all-purpose potion can't do it. If it were a little earlier, the bleeding would be stopped immediately, and then the all-purpose potion combined with medical ninjutsu might be able to save her life. If it is used now, it will become a death warrant, squeezing out the remaining vitality.

"Well, sorry, I lost my temper." Maki, who was a little excited just now, realized that his words were a bit inappropriate.

"It's alright, Maki Jonin. The enemy has not been defeated yet. Please keep up the good work. I hope there won't be another casualty."

"Well, thank you for your help."

Although the dead were not Konoha's ninjas, the death of friendly forces still made Mizuki very unhappy. However, he came here to see what caused the Sand Village to make a desperate move and release the tailed beasts. Now that he has figured out the situation, there is no need to get too close to the tailed beasts. Although they are in battle, a ninja of Mizuki's level who is good at sealing techniques will always be feared if he gets too close to the Jinchuriki and the tailed beasts of other villages.

When Mizuki and Maki passed each other as he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said to Maki calmly, "Be careful Yura..."

"Yura?" Maki was shocked when he heard Mizuki's words. He seemed a little bit unconvinced about what Mizuki meant. When he wanted to ask Mizuki what he meant specifically, Mizuki had already walked away.

"Be careful?" Maki didn't believe that Yura, who had been involved in many affairs of the key departments of Sand Village for many years, would have any problems, but it didn't stop Maki from paying more attention. Some things are just a layer of window paper. When you think about it deliberately, you can find the answer to some things.

Maki temporarily put Mizuki's reminder in his heart. He needed to repel the enemy as soon as possible before Gaara could no longer hold on. Otherwise, the tailed beast would get out of control and it would be difficult to end. As for the original plan, now thinking about it, it was really a joke.

"Catching scorpions? We are really overestimating our abilities."

Honestly speaking, with all the effort that the Sand Village put in, they might succeed in besieging and killing Scorpion alone, but it is unlikely that they will be able to capture him. However, the reality is so helpless that plans cannot keep up with the changes. Before they even came into contact with Scorpion, they lost a jonin. This is not only a real fighting force, but also a compatriot who fought side by side.

On the other hand, Mizuki had figured out some of the situations after leaving. Apart from the loss of a jonin in the Sand Village, the overall situation was relatively stable. The barriers and traps did not have strong direct killing power. Before Kakuzu and Hidan could exert their greatest strength, Shukaku's appearance disrupted everything. The situation now seemed to have returned to a balance. The three major ninja villages were in good condition due to their numerical advantage.

"Kakuzu and Hidan are being held back by the Sand Village for now, and Shukaku's range of activity is too large. It's not suitable for taking advantage of numbers, so the first thing we need to do is to end the battle as quickly as possible? We can't waste too much time on the Red Sand Scorpion."

As the intensity of the battle continued to increase, the scope of the battle became larger and larger. In the end, large-scale attack ninjutsu would appear sooner or later. Ninjas who could only deal with ordinary battles would no longer be able to help. If they did not have any special skills, they would not be qualified to participate in such a battle.

"You're back? Mizuki? What's going on with the Sand Ninja?" Yamashiro Aoba asked when Mizuki came back after leaving for a while. "How will it end if we just release Shukaku? Will we let that Juan clean up the mess?"

Mizuki shook his head and said, "That volume is almost dead."

"No way?" It was unbelievable that a senior ninja was killed in such a short time that even Mizuki's medical ninjutsu couldn't catch up.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where is Yura from the Sand Village?"

"I said a while ago that I would go back to support the tailed beasts. I just went back. Didn't you see it?"

"Support?" Mizuki smiled and turned to Hyuga Neji and said, "Can you find out where he is?"

Hyuga Neji opened his Byakugan, searched carefully and said, "He has indeed returned to the Sand Village and is fighting the enemy."

"Huh?" This situation was beyond Shuimu's expectations. He originally thought that this traitor would hide around to help Scorpion, who was in a bad situation recently. Unexpectedly, he was assigned to Shukaku's side. "In this case, forget it. See if there is anything abnormal about him?"

"No." Hyuga Neji shook his head.

"That's strange. Why would they deliberately avoid me during a normal activity? This shouldn't be the case. Is there some other reason that I don't understand?"

Mizuki seemed to have sensed something and looked back at the Sand Ninja, who saw the Sand incarnation constantly attacking the enemy like swatting a bug.

"Have you set your sights on the tailed beasts? Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity when you are still unstable to quickly eliminate the tailed beasts that may affect the overall situation?"

Both sides have targets they want to defeat, so it depends on who moves faster.

"Shui Mu, we're almost there, it's time to attack." Yamashiro Aoba looked at the battle not far away where Akagi, assisted by Kurochi, was entangled with the Red Sand Scorpion.

"The style of the Iwagakure Village is simply not suitable for dealing with the Sand Iron Technique. To be more precise, without you, there is no one here who is suitable for dealing with the Red Sand Scorpion..."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Shuimu said helplessly. The restraining effect of the Sand Iron Technique was too strong, and the Chakra Shield, Shuimu had practiced for several months, and with the bonus of the Sage Mode, he could only restrain it a little. Moreover, Scorpion and Shuimu were very similar. If they were not restricted, they would not be afraid of being besieged.

"Then we have to attack. The ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village have good endurance, so they can serve as half-meat shields. You be careful and hide behind them to contain them. I'll handle the frontal attacks."

Then, Mizuki lowered his voice and said to Hyuga Neji and Aburame Shino, "Pay attention to check if there are other invisible enemies at any time. Also, pay attention to Yura's movements and notify me if there is anything. Finally, if Shukaku goes berserk, do not hesitate, run as far as you can."

"I understand. That's not a battle we can handle right now." Aburame Shino and Hyuga Neji nodded.

"Very good." Mizuki then gestured to Temari and Kankuro who were looking at Gaara nervously not far away, "You can also try to act with them later. They are more familiar with Shukaku's every move..."

…

After arranging the tasks for his subordinates, Mizuki immediately took Yamashiro Aoba to join the battle to kill Scorpion of the Red Sand.

This time, Shuimu didn't want to drag his feet. When facing Scorpion alone, it might be difficult to seize the opportunity, but now it was four to one. Kurotsuchi's strength was a little weak, but under the cover of others, he could maximize his strength without exposing his weakness of being too weak. Especially his special ninjutsu of blood limit, "Dissolution and Lime Coagulation Technique", was a terrible ninjutsu that was extremely troublesome if infected. It was a great threat to Scorpion, a puppeteer whose body was extremely dangerous after being restricted in action.

During the fierce battle, Scorpion, who had something to pursue, did not retreat in time and was soon surrounded and unable to escape.

Akatsuki has the strongest body. Even the Sand Iron Technique - Sand Iron Shigure may not be able to do anything to him. If it weren't for the fact that Sand Iron is poisonous, Akatsuki is actually a good meat shield. But even so, the hard rock clone created by earth escape has been a great help. The rock clone, which is not afraid of pain or poison, constantly forces Scorpion to move. In addition to the black earth escape technique and Yamashiro Aoba's fire escape attack, it constantly gives the creator of water and wood the best opportunity.

"Right now. Everyone, disperse..."

The siege was complete. Shuimu quickly formed a seal and used a dragon fire technique to surround a large area around Scorpion in a scattered flower-like manner. Fire escape techniques strengthened by natural energy exploded in front of Scorpion. Scorpion could only erect the human puppet of the Third Kazekage in front of him and add a layer of sand iron to block it.

"This time, you won't have a chance to escape."

A huge hand broke out of the ground before the flames were extinguished, grabbed the human puppet in its hand, squeezed it hard, and crushed it into pieces.

Just when Mizuki was about to kill Scorpion's body in one fell swoop, Hyuga Neji shouted from behind: "Captain Mizuki, get out of the way..."

After hearing Neji's warning, Mizuki subconsciously tried his best to set up a chakra shield behind him, even though he hadn't reacted yet. In a split second, a large ball of wind chakra hit Mizuki head-on.

"Is it the tailed beast? Gaara can't hold on any longer? This is really worrying."

Mizuki was not surprised by Shukaku's attack. Except for Gaara, no one present could compare to Shukaku's hatred for Mizuki. Mizuki directly stole a part of Shukaku's chakra and consciousness, which was like cutting off a piece of Shukaku's flesh. It would be strange if he didn't hate him.
