The power of the tailed beast's ninjutsu is indeed extraordinary. The consequences of Mizuki being directly hit while in Sage Mode are also quite serious. Fortunately, the chakra shield was activated in time, so the damage of the ninjutsu attribute to Mizuki was not serious. However, the impact on his body was quite large, and he was directly pressed to the ground by the powerful energy and pushed for a long distance.

"It's like the physical strength of a small tailed beast is almost unbearable, and the power of a casual attack is so great? The power of a tailed beast without anyone controlling it is this powerful. How powerful would a Jinchūriki who perfectly controls the power of a tailed beast be...?"

Although it was not the first time he dealt with the tailed beasts, it was definitely the first time he faced off against a tailed beast in its complete state.

Unfortunately, now is not the time to sigh. Although he was hit by Shukaku's Wind Style - Training Bullet, with the cushioning of the chakra shield, Mizuki did not suffer much damage. It just looked scary, but in fact, apart from a little shock, he was almost fine. With the powerful physical fitness bonus of the Sage Mode, this degree of injury basically does not affect his combat effectiveness.

Mizuki, who had just been knocked unconscious, got up from the ground, shook his dizzy head, and after he became a little more sober, he saw with a headache that Shukaku was half-squatting with a swollen abdomen and a wide-open mouth, and the second training bullet was about to be fired at Mizuki.

"You're such a persistent bastard. It's hard for me to even catch my breath..."

However, there is no logic in fighting with the tailed beasts, and Mizuki doesn't think that this guy, who is currently acting entirely on instinct, will let him go easily.

Of course, Mizuki is no longer the Chunin who is powerless to fight back. It might be a bit difficult to fight Shukaku alone. Mizuki is still a little bit weak against this guy with almost infinite chakra. However, Mizuki, who just defeated Scorpion, can't accept not fighting back.

Mizuki made up his mind, and took up a huge hand formed by natural energy, grabbed the half-dead body of Scorpion, and squeezed it hard, completely paralyzing Scorpion's resistance, and then threw it towards Shukaku, and Scorpion, who was powerless to struggle, watched helplessly as he was about to face Shukaku's air training bullet. Then, Mizuki was not idle either, and quickly formed a seal.

"Fire Style - Great Dragon Fire Technique."

As Mizuki's ninjutsu was activated, a large ball of high-temperature flames extracted from chakra quickly took shape, accumulating more and more, and finally formed a huge crimson roaring fire dragon. Then, the fairy chakra and mobilized natural energy began to take effect, and the fire dragon quickly expanded, and finally turned into a light blue dragon with flowing light. Following Mizuki's command, it rushed towards Shukaku.

The powerful fire dragon, with enormous power, collided directly with the wind-attribute chakra ball spit out by Shukaku.

The loud noise of the confrontation between the senjutsu and the tailed beasts' ninjutsu spread quickly throughout the battlefield. Many ninjas had never seen such a powerful ninjutsu duel in their lives, and now, the strength of the tailed beasts was nothing, but the sudden burst of powerful strength of Mizuki, who was a Chunin not long ago, shocked everyone. Although they had long known that the guy who was promoted to Jonin by Tsunade who had just returned to the village would not be simple, they did not expect that he would be so powerful that he could face Shukaku head-on in ninjutsu.

In the entire battlefield, among all the people who were still alive, the most unfortunate one was Scorpion of the Red Sand. He was crushed into pieces by the huge force at the center of the ninjutsu confrontation between Mizuki and the tailed beasts. Then, the wind-attributed air training bullets and the fire-attributed fairy arts intertwined together, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the effect of wind and fire began to appear. The strong wind rolled up the shattered fire dragon to form a turbulent flow of flames, carrying huge energy, forming a hellish fire tornado. The power of the fire storm slowly spread to the surroundings, and strong gusts of hot wind constantly invaded everyone's skin, forcing people to stay away from the place where Shukaku and Mizuki were fighting.

As for Scorpion, who is at the center of the energy, it is a pity that he will never have the chance to show up again, and he can't find any body fragments to use even for his Impure World Reincarnation.

"Artists who yearn for eternity, rest in the eternal death. No one will disturb you anymore..."

From the beginning to the end, no one could figure out what Scorpion wanted in his life. Even Chiyo never understood what her most beloved grandson was thinking.

However, from the few words he had with Scorpion, Mizuki roughly guessed that this rare human being, even after joining the Akatsuki organization, had never changed his pursuit, perhaps just like Orochimaru's tireless pursuit of immortality and the Sharingan. Scorpion's life was nothing more than seeking the power to change, to change the pain of losing his parents at a young age, the loneliness of childhood, and even the depression of being born as a human, the pursuit of eternal puppet art, etc. The Samsara Eye must be the most important part of it. However, all of this disappeared as Scorpion turned into a puff of ash.

"After all, the human world cannot tolerate a born alien, even if he was once a human. From now on, the unique evil skill of human puppetry will be lost..."

Scorpion of the Red Sand died without a trace. Although the others retreated far away due to the huge shock wave of the ninjutsu, with the ninja's observation ability, it was not difficult to find that the former genius puppeteer of the Sand Village had died.

"Are we going to die just like that?" Kankuro looked at the battle in the distance unwillingly, "Damn it, we spent so much effort, what on earth are we doing here?"

If there is anyone who knows Scorpion very well, it must be Kankuro, who is also a puppeteer. Scorpion, his compatriot and senior, was once an idol in his mind. However, when Kankuro learned that Scorpion had become a traitor and attacked Gaara, his anger can be imagined. When the mission to trap Scorpion came, Kankuro once wanted to ask Scorpion's opinion. Unexpectedly, the legendary puppeteer was killed just like that.

"Kankuro, don't blame anyone. Mizuki Jonin did nothing wrong." Maki consoled him, "In the final analysis, it's because we are not strong enough to achieve our goal as we wish."

"I know, but..."

"Stop talking. I understand how you feel, Kankuro. The battle isn't over yet. Juan has already sacrificed himself, and we have to continue fighting." The appearance of Shukaku completely disrupted the rhythm of the scene. Apart from Mizuki and Shukaku fighting each other, the energy fluctuations dissipating everywhere had temporarily stopped other battles around them.

"Yura, you have to help look after Gaara later, huh? Yura? What's wrong with you?" Maki, who was on a combat mission and couldn't take care of too many things, had to leave a lot of things to Yura. But when Maki turned around to give orders, he found that Yura's condition was very wrong.

Yura, who was fine just now, now had red and black blood oozing from her eyes, nostrils and ears. Under Maki's incredulous gaze, she collapsed to the ground and never woke up again.
