"Damn bastard!" The angry curse of Scorpion of the Red Sand was heard in the thick smoke.

Scorpion was not scolding Naruto for throwing the detonating tags. A few detonating tags could only damage the clothes at most, but could not damage the shell of the Scarlet Amber. He was scolding Deidara for being troublesome. Pein's order was to let them leave the body of the Jinchūriki behind and find a way to withdraw.

Now that Deidara has taken Gaara's body away and successfully drawn Duke's hatred away, there is no point in him staying behind.

After a while, the smoke and dust cleared, and the modified puppet Fei Liu Hu, commonly known as Scorpion, was exposed in front of Chiyo, Naruto, and Sakura.

Both of his hands were equipped with strangely shaped blades, and on his back was a huge, eerie human face. From the face's pitch-black mouth grew a scorpion tail made of steel that could be retracted and extended freely.

Drops of purple liquid dripped from the tip of the tail to the ground. The ground made a sizzling sound and white smoke that made people feel sick rose up.

"What is that?"

"Little yellow-haired boy, hand over the body of the Fifth Kazekage and I will let you go." A strange look flashed in Duke's eyes. The Akatsuki organization was nowhere to be found, and Deidara was the best way to locate them. He left the Flying Thunder God spell on Deidara and brought his men to wipe out the Akatsuki headquarters. There would be no chance for Madara and Kaguya.

The first sound was the sound of Naruto falling to the ground, and the second sound was the sound of the Kiryuuko being blown up.

"This face... there's no mistake, this is..." Chiyo's face froze and she was choking with words.

"Scorpion, you've fallen!"

The moment Fei Liuhu was blown up, Scorpion's true form flashed and jumped out. When his true face was revealed, everyone was stunned.

Among the three people present, in order of danger, Chiyo is the person that Scorpion is most wary of, followed by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto, and finally Sakura.

"Human puppet!?" Naruto and Master Sakura shuddered at the same time. They had heard of the concept of human puppets. In particular, the production process of human puppets, first removing the internal organs, then peeling and cleaning, and finally preserving them... In short, just thinking about it made their scalps numb.

Scorpion had never taken Sakura seriously from the beginning. He was young and unknown, and was obviously just a runner. On the contrary, it was Naruto who leaked the Nine-Tails' chakra that made him dare not be careless, and the number of poison needles covered was only slightly less than that of Chiyo.

"Little yellow-haired boy!?" Deidara's face suddenly became long. How dare you call me yellow-haired boy? Be careful or I will cheat on you.

"What's wrong? Is there anything special about this human puppet?" Sakura and Naruto didn't see anything special about it.

"Rasengan!"

Deidara's thinking is very simple. If he doesn't fight, how can he know whether he can win or not? It has to be said that his way of thinking is not unreasonable. If the battle between ninjas can be determined by fame, then don't fight. The strongest in the ninja world is in Konoha. The strongest Hokage of all generations, Sarutobi Hiruzen, is even more powerful than the first Hokage!

"The Third Kazekage, who was praised by the Sand Village as the strongest of all generations, disappeared many years ago. The villagers always thought that Konoha had assassinated him, so they launched a war against Konoha." Chiyo smiled bitterly and shook her head, sighing dejectedly: "I firmly believed that the disappearance of the Third Kazekage was done by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but I didn't expect it to be my grandson..."

Naruto relied on the tailed beast's chakra coat to protect himself, and his long fiery red tail swept away all the poison needles. Under Chiyo's cover, he quickly approached Fei Liuhu.

Only Chiyo reacted quickly amidst the shock: "Scorpion, you haven't changed in all these years... Could it be that you... transformed yourself into a human puppet?"

After the last sentence was uttered, the sorrow and longing on Chiyo's face disappeared, replaced by a look of determination. Scorpion's current state was due to her and the Sand Village. The old lady was ready to make up for her previous mistakes today, even if it meant both of them perishing.

Duke didn't know what Deidara was thinking, otherwise he would have taught him to sing "Conquer" on the spot. He controlled the ice dragon under his feet to flap its wings and stir up a strong wind, which blew the big clay bird over several times.

On the other side, Deidara, who was stepping on the clay bird, was blocked by a huge ice dragon. Deidara was skilled and brave, and even though he only had one arm left, he was not afraid of Duke, who was feared by the Akatsuki organization.

"Isn't that the name of the third-generation grandfather?"

"I didn't expect to see you here, Grandma Chiyo!" Scorpion greeted her, but from his tone, one could not hear any feeling of missing his relatives.

"What!?"

Deidara lay on the clay bird, a smug look in his eyes: "Uncle Scorpion, I did act according to the plan, but the enemy caught up with me and I had no choice but to compete with him."

Hey, this guy’s painting style is different from ours!

"I am just an old woman who wants to see my grandson before I die." Chiyo closed her eyes with a painful look on her face. "But I didn't expect that when we met again, you would become the culprit who kidnapped the village leader."

"You nagging old woman, I didn't stay here to talk nonsense with you." Fei Liuhu's long tail stood up high, and the scorpion tore off the black cloth in front of it and spewed out countless poisonous needles as thin as cow hair.

"You..." Chiyo's eyes were complicated. She could never have imagined that when they met again, her grandson would become like this.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you see my collection, which is also my favorite masterpiece." Scorpion took out the sealing scroll from behind, and opened the seal with a smile. White smoke dissipated, and a human puppet in a black robe slowly floated in the air.

"Is it the puppeteer's puppet?" Naruto and Sakura asked in surprise.

Scorpion's ten fingers hooked the puppet strings, controlling the human puppet, with a smug look on his face: "Granny Chiyo, how about it, does it look very familiar?"

Chiyo was not interested in talking about the past bad accounts. It was always the Sand Village that suffered losses. It was not a glorious deed, so there was nothing to say.

Why does a man in his thirties have such a handsome face? Could it be that this "Legend of the Eyes" is actually a girls' manga! ?

But how to fight so that people won't see that you are letting him win requires careful operation. Especially Deidara's personality, artists always do what they want, and his personality is more paranoid. He will explode if he doesn't agree with you, so you have to take care of his self-esteem when fighting.

Sakura, who had never been taken seriously by Scorpion, took the opportunity to rush forward while Naruto was fully focused on dealing with him. With just one blow, his fist filled with chakra shattered the Hirugoku into pieces.

"The mastermind? Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

Nine-tailed Naruto rubbed his eyes fiercely. It was impossible. She was even cuter than Sakura! Sakura also had a dull look on his face. He felt terrible.

As expected of Master Ying, this punch cost at least tens of millions of taels. The large figurine named Fei Liu Hu was shattered all over the ground, and even 502 couldn't save it from being scrapped.

A large number of poison needles attacked, and Chiyo, Naruto, and Sakura had to dodge in a hurry.

Naruto and Sakura had sharp ears and immediately caught the key words. They looked at Chiyo curiously, waiting for her to answer their questions.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

The pink-haired Scorpio smiled warmly like the sun: "Grandma Chiyo, don't be so surprised. What you see is the eternal art that I am proud of!"

"It's a puppet, for sure, but to be more precise, it should be called a human puppet!" Chiyo's tone was solemn. When the old man saw his grandson whom he hadn't seen for many years, his eyes couldn't help but become red, probably because he recalled long-forgotten memories.

Naruto condensed the Nine-Tails Chakra into a Rasengan with one hand. The violent aura made Scorpion smack his lips. He was so frightened that he dared not be careless at all. Fei Liuhu's left hand changed its power, and a sharp sword with a deadly poison pierced Naruto's heart. Naruto dodged and was swept away by Fei Liuhu's long tail.

Boom! Boom!

Deidara didn't care about losing an arm before, as his secret technique of forming hand seals with one hand was enough.

But before that, Deidara glanced at the ice dragon under Duke, a flash of displeasure in his eyes, and reached into the blade bag, eating a large amount of clay.

"C2. Dragon!"
