Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 167 Scorpion's Mouth-to-mouth Escape (4K)

Friends who work in the Akatsuki organization know that you should never take off your outer clothes during battle, even if you have prickly heat.

Looking at Scorpion kissing goodbye to Akatsuki's jacket in a casual manner, Naruto knew that he was destined to die.

"Let's go!" Scorpion said concisely, signaling Deidara to take Gaara and evacuate first and rush to the rendezvous point.

"Sakura!" Naruto shouted without turning his head, which made Scorpion feel uneasy.

Kakashi flew over to Sakura's side while Chiyo stood behind Naruto and before they knew it, they began to adjust to the position they had discussed at the beginning.

"Hmph..." Deidara snorted coldly, but did not carry out his rebellion to the end.

Judging from the strength of the pursuit team, he couldn't complete the mission lightly now. In addition, he had already acted willfully, so to be on the safe side, he decided to send the Jinchūriki first.

"I hope you won't keep me waiting too long, huh!"

"Of course..." Scorpion took a few steps forward and stood facing the four people.

When Deidara was about to fly away, Naruto walked up to them and smiled at them: "That's a nice thought."

Then he turned around and said, "My mother-in-law and I will stop this guy. I'll leave Gaara to you."

"boom!!"

Just as he finished saying this, he heard explosions coming from the ground around Scorpion. Suddenly, four clones of Naruto emerged, condensed Rasengan, and charged towards him!
Deidara raised his eyebrows, and his speed instantly doubled! But the next moment, Sakura threw Kakashi towards Deidara with a powerful backhand, instantly closing the distance. Deidara then activated Kamui, causing the distorted space to reappear!

These changes happened in just about one second!
Deidara immediately adjusted his flying direction. Kakashi landed on a tree trunk and began to concentrate his eye power under Deidara, and then swung out a pool of living water forward.

"call out!"

Sakura appeared beside Kakashi and began to chase Deidara together, and the winner on Naruto's side was decided in an instant.

The scorpion's stinger instantly pierced through the four Narutos at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and all the shadow clones were released!
In front of him, the real Naruto took out a handful of military pills, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them, wiping the sweat off his head.

Chiyo walked forward. At this time, her physical strength was the most abundant among the four people, while Naruto's physical strength was the weakest.

It can be seen from the fact that his clone was unable to dodge just now that Naruto has consumed too much chakra and his energy is no longer able to keep up.

But what happened was that this was Grandma Chiyo's battle, and now she was going to engage in a direct confrontation with her grandson.

"Wow..." Scorpion was not panicked by Sakura and Kakashi chasing Deidara, but extended the stinger behind him a little longer: "Now that the younger ones are done, is it the older ones' turn?"

Even though the two were already enemies, Scorpion still said a few more words: "An old man who has retired for many years should just stay indoors and die, instead of continuing to jump around outside."

Chiyo felt a little uncomfortable listening to Scorpion's voice, which was like a demonic sound filling her ears. However, she still said, "Haha, I still have some unfinished business, so I'd like to settle it with you today."

Her eyes were determined. Seeing this, Scorpion said slowly, "If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do..."

"Grandma Chiyo, when I extract the tailed beast, I will make both you and this brat into my collection, right?"

"First, I'll dig out your internal organs, peel off your skin, wash it clean, and then drain your blood."

"After the embalming is complete and the skeletons are ready, I'll make you into my puppet collection. Including the two of you, there will be exactly three hundred of you, right?"

The voice uttered by Fei Liuhu echoed in the air, making the already cold and bloody words even more creepy.

"Is this the production process?" Naruto suddenly spoke, asking both of them to turn around. Fei Liuhu's expression suddenly became strange.

"It sounds really scary at first, but it's actually pretty much the same process as a fur coat... You, are you so unskilled even when you're making threats?"

Chiyo looked at Naruto's back and listened to his teasing tone, and her mood seemed not as heavy as before.

"You sharp-tongued brat." Scorpion took a step forward. "You probably don't have much energy left now. Why don't you think about your last words?"

Naruto didn't respond. He stared at Sasori, a brainstorming session in his mind.

This battle was not easy to win. Most of his chakra and physical strength were consumed. Chiyo was also affected by her inner demons and her combat power was reduced, while Scorpion's condition was almost intact.

In addition to the Third Kazekage, Scorpion's trump card also includes at least an entire puppet army and himself. Now, we must at least smash his tortoise shell to force out his trump card.

As for Grandma Chiyo, at least she must break up with Scorpion. This is the most basic requirement. On this basis, we must try our best to resolve her emotional knot. This is the ultimate goal of this battle.

Thinking of this, Naruto said to Chiyo behind him: "Grandma, can you help me buy four minutes?"

Chiyo and Scorpion both heard this. Although the former was puzzled, he did not raise any questions on the spot: "No problem."

It seems that Naruto still has a trump card that can check and balance Scorpion, so there will be no problem.

Suddenly, Naruto started yelling at Scorpion:

"Four minutes to get out of this tortoise shell and see grandma!"

Scorpion was stunned for a moment, a little surprised that Naruto could see through the fact that 'Hiryuu Amber was not the real body' in an instant, but soon, Naruto threw two smoke bombs under him!

"Bang!!"

The thick purple smoke dissipated instantly. At the same time, Scorpion opened Fei Liuhu's mouth, revealing the mechanism inside, and let countless poisonous needles fly into the smoke, launching an indiscriminate attack!
Chiyo's eyes focused, and she instantly took out a scroll and summoned [Father] and [Mother]. The two puppets entered the smoke like charging warriors, opened their arm mechanisms, and held up chakra shields to block most of the poison needles!
At this moment, Naruto suddenly rushed out from the right side of the smoke. He seemed to be uninjured. He condensed a Rasengan in his hand and rushed towards Scorpion.

Scorpion instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he had no time to think. The stinger on his back extended forward and pierced Naruto's body. Naruto dodged left and right, allowing the Rasengan to land directly on the stinger!

"boom!!"

Fei Liuhu made another shrill sound, and the entire puppet began to shake again.

At this time, the stinger adjusted its direction flexibly and directly brushed past Naruto's body before he could dodge.

"Shh!"

Naruto had a scratch on his back, and his whole body began to shake and he felt dizzy. Chiyo was anxious and hurried to transfer the chakra lines to Naruto.

It should be noted that Sakura gave two doses of antidote to Naruto before the battle, but Naruto was worried about Sakura, fearing that something might happen that would lead to a confrontation between Sakura and Sasori, so he forced one of the antidotes back to Sakura.

In other words, Naruto now has only one chance to detoxify himself, and if he fails to kill Scorpion before he uses it up, he can declare GG.

"Mother-in-law..." At this time, the injured Naruto turned around and smiled at Chiyo, pulled open a corner of himself, and detonating tags were all over his inner layer.

This is just an ordinary shadow clone.

"boom!!!"

The explosion instantly swept through the stinger, and Fei Liuhu retracted the stinger. Obvious cracks appeared on it, but it was not over yet!

A large number of kunai suddenly appeared at the location where Naruto's clone exploded, and shot towards Fei Liuhu. Upon closer inspection, several of the kunai were followed by detonating tags.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Fei Liuhu spit out poison needles again, deflecting most of the kunai, and at the same time used the poison stinger to detonate the kunai with the detonating talisman directly towards Chiyo.

"boom!!!"

Chiyo ordered the puppets to defend herself. At this moment, Scorpion finally noticed the [Father] and [Mother] controlled by Chiyo, and immediately said sarcastically:
"These are all my leftovers. Do you think you can defeat me with these?"

Chiyo was sweating profusely and looked at Scorpion in silence.

Naruto appeared from the back and slowly walked towards the two of them, looking at his father and mother, and then at Chiyo.

"Did he develop this as well?"

Chiyo took a slight breath and explained to Naruto: "Father and Mother, these are puppets that Scorpion made in his childhood based on the appearance of his own parents."

"Haha, it's just an old toy used by old antiques." Scorpion said lightly in front.

His tone seemed to be more relaxed and his words became more frequent. This was the sense of security that Naruto's decline after physical exhaustion gave him.

However, Naruto's next words made Scorpion become gloomy again.

"If she's an antique, then you're a little antique."

If Scorpion revealed his true face at this moment, he might see the corners of his mouth twitching. He couldn't help but refute Naruto:

"What makes you call me an antique? All the technology I use is the most advanced, including the deadly poison that's riddled with traps. Even an old woman can't do anything about it, right?"

Chiyo also turned to Naruto, who smiled and said, "It depends on how you define antique. If we are just talking about technology, then the puppet in the hands of the mother-in-law has also updated the technology."

"But what if we're talking about you as a person? Haha, it's hard to say."

"Why is it difficult to tell? I am the genius puppeteer of Sunagakure. The latest puppets are all made by me. I even developed a technique to turn people into puppets, which can preserve all their ninjutsu from their lifetime."

"If we talk about puppeteers, I am one of the best, at the top of my time."

Scorpion pursues his own eternal art. He is proud that he has brought puppet art to the end of its era and will not tolerate Naruto's empty talk.

"Making a person into a puppet and retaining the ninjutsu they learned in life... Grandma, is this technology feasible?" Naruto deliberately looked at Chiyo.

Chiyo stared at Scorpion and said in a deep voice, "This technology is indeed feasible..."

"Is that so," Naruto nodded. "It seems that your condition is even more serious than I thought. Your mind is so imprisoned that it is no longer possible to describe you as an antique. I might as well call you 'primitive' from now on."

Scorpion fell silent after being scolded by Naruto. He did not understand and did not want to agree with what Naruto said. Now he just wanted this person to disappear completely immediately.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Naruto's aura had changed drastically in an instant!
Eye shadow appears around his eyes, which is the unique sage facial makeup after entering sage mode!
When Naruto first threw the smoke bomb onto the ground, he had already ordered his clone to drill into the ground and gather natural energy nearby, so he only needed to delay for a short four minutes.

"Four minutes, not long, not short either." Naruto strode forward, letting his unparalleled momentum burst out instantly, while glancing at Chiyo behind him, hinting at her with his eyes.

"The reason I call you an antique is simply because I think you, as a 'human', are living a more and more backward life."

As they talked, Chiyo's chakra threads began to connect to various parts of Naruto's body. This was a technique mastered by top puppeteers: Manipulation of the Human Body. Using chakra threads to connect and manipulate the human body was an advanced application of puppetry.

The next moment, Naruto disappeared from the spot in an instant, at a speed so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye. Chiyo suddenly raised her hand, showing the style of a veteran puppeteer. The next moment, Naruto appeared directly in front of Hiruko's eyes and punched him in the tailbone!

"boom!!!"

With the blessing of the Sage Mode, Naruto's physical fitness was greatly improved, and the already weathered Fei Liuhu could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded. A figure wrapped in black cloth jumped out from it.

Naruto instantly returned to Chiyo's side. He had to admit, the feeling of being manipulated was incredibly strange. He felt that his previous attack, the force of his muscles and the movement of his limbs were incredibly smooth, as if everything was natural.

This shows that Chiyo's attainments in physical skills are not low, and she can manipulate Naruto's body movements in the most optimal way. At the same time, Naruto found that after entering the state of "puppet", his spirit was not so tense.

This is because he is controlled so that he does not need to use his brain or expend energy when fighting others.

"Is this how Sakura felt in the original novel...it's a bit too comfortable." Naruto thought to himself, staring at Scorpion, waiting for him to reveal his true face to Chiyo.

"I see... I understand what you mean a little bit now."

Scorpion didn't immediately remove the black cloth in front of him. He said to the two, "What you're actually saying is that turning people into puppets is actually not as good as real people, so I'm turning the clock back."

His light tone made Naruto's eyes narrow, "I'm a little surprised that you could say such a thing given your deeply held beliefs."

Scorpion took a few steps forward, saying as he went, "...But it's such a shame that you still can't understand the true meaning of puppetry."

He lifted the black cloth, revealing his true appearance: "Humans are subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, but puppets are not. Only things that can be preserved for a long time have artistic value... Or rather, this is eternal beauty!"

Naruto remained silent, while Chiyo was in a state of shock.

These highly provocative words, combined with his performance of lifting the black cloth, made the whole scene dramatic.

This artistic sense is not innate, but essentially stems from the early death of Scorpio's parents. Since childhood, he lacks a sense of security and his mind has been distorted, so he chooses to satisfy his inner desire through the action of "permanent preservation".

"He... he is... why?" Chiyo couldn't help but feel surprised. Scorpion looked the same as he did twenty years ago, which completely overturned her cognition.

"Grandma, is there a problem?"

"He looks exactly the same as when he left the village twenty years ago." Chiyo felt dazed and sweating profusely.

This is Scorpion's way of persuasion, and also his way of practice - to make himself an immortal puppet.
