Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

The next day, everyone was well-trained to erase all traces of their presence in the woods and head towards the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.

The place where we camped before was only a short distance away from the Tiandi Bridge.

As soon as I approached the Heaven and Earth Bridge, I suddenly felt Sasuke's chakra rushing into my body.

After I bite the mark on him, I can absorb negative chakra from him as long as he is within a certain range of me.

That is, after approaching the Heaven and Earth Bridge, Sasuke entered the range of my chakra absorption...

He's around here?!

If he is there, it means that Orochimaru has a base nearby.

The subordinate that Scorpion wants to meet...is he someone close to Orochimaru?

We each hid nearby, and after waiting for most of the day, we finally saw a man wrapped tightly up walking onto the bridge. After a while, the scorpion's distinctive hunched figure also appeared.

As the cloaked man took off his hood, I was surprised to see a familiar silhouette.

Brother Dou...?!

If it was Kabuto, I would be able to conclude in an instant that Scorpion must have been tricked by Orochimaru.

I used sign language to communicate with Gaara, Haku, and Neji beside me: "Sasuke is nearby."

They didn't understand why I suddenly realized this, but Neji had already opened his Byakugan and started searching.

Bai whispered, "What a pleasant surprise."

Indeed, we all thought that it might take some effort to find Sasuke, but we didn't expect it to be so easy.

Gaara said, "This is what they call good things come in pairs."

"Something's going on." Neji soon discovered, "On the other side of the bridge... there is a very eerie and terrifying chakra... It's Orochimaru. He's coming."

This news must be reported to everyone. Ningji pressed the headphones to remind everyone to pay attention.

Sakura speculated: "Did Orochimaru discover that Kabuto was Scorpion's spy, so he planned to catch them all this time?"

"What kind of fate is this..." Shikamaru complained quietly, "When we targeted Scorpion, Orochimaru also targeted Scorpion?"

Shino: "You are so welcome, Scorpion of the Red Sand."

Naruto hurriedly said, "Asakaru Asakaru! If Orochimaru is here, is it possible that Sasuke is also nearby?!"

Granny Chiyo said angrily: "Shhhhhh!! The guys from Konoha are now in a lurking state, they are too lax!!"

Tiantian complained quietly: "...It was clearly a normal exchange of information. It was obviously you who was too anxious and lost your temper..."

Sakura urgently reminded: "Tiantian! Your microphone is not turned off!"

"What... Shit!"

Shikamaru finally said: "The Red Sand Scorpion has nothing to do with Konoha, but Orochimaru is a wanted traitor ninja in Konoha. You are responsible for the Red Sand Scorpion, and we are responsible for Orochimaru."

Me: “Got it.”

After assigning the combat targets, the two people on the bridge seemed to have exchanged information and were ready to leave separately. At this time, Neji informed everyone: "Orochimaru has moved!"

As soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened on the bridge.

A figure landed between Kabuto and Sasori, and the two men retreated side by side in fright. Everyone looked closely and saw that the uninvited guest opposite them was Orochimaru.

Granny Chiyo hissed, "It seems that he has discovered his subordinates' betrayal and is here to cause trouble for Scorpion."

"No," I said, "this must be a trap for the scorpion."

Sure enough, in an instant, Kabuto, who was originally standing with Scorpion, suddenly attacked Scorpion and stood in the same position as Orochimaru.

"This is convenient for us." Bai Dao said, "Let them fight first. It would be best if both sides are injured. Then we can take action."

"...I'm afraid it won't work." I sighed, "If it's Orochimaru...with so many of us, we probably can't hide it from him."

I looked at the tree trunk not far behind me. There was a long snake that had climbed up there at some point. It was curled up on the branch, looking down at me coldly.

"Just wait," I said, "Orochimaru will call us out. One, two..."

"Scorpion, you seem to have brought a lot of little mice here? When did you become so timid about meeting with your subordinates?"

Seeing that her whereabouts were revealed, Granny Chiyo rushed out almost impatiently. Kankuro had no choice but to follow her, and I followed her too.

As we landed on the bridge together, Haku, Neji, and Gaara followed behind me.

"Hmm...? Aren't you the girl who was with Sasuke in Konoha?" Orochimaru looked at me, "So you're still alive?"

I asked in confusion, “What does that mean?”

"It's hard to conceal the news that the Hidden Mist Village sent out a request for help to its allies. The One-Tailed Jinchuriki was captured by Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, and the whereabouts of the insect nest leader of the Hidden Mist Village are unknown at the same time... I thought you were in danger. If I had known that you would defect to the Hidden Mist Village, you might as well have come to me with Sasuke."

"…Sasuke…is everything going well at your place?"

"Very good." Brother Kabuto said, "Lord Orochimaru taught him everything he knew."

After confirming that we were definitely not Scorpion's subordinates, Orochimaru looked at Scorpion and said mockingly, "It looks like you've been closely followed, Scorpion. Your skills have really declined greatly since your whereabouts have been leaked like this."

Scorpion said viciously: "Shut up, Orochimaru."

I looked at Orochimaru and said, "There is actually no need for us to conflict. Since our target is Scorpion, why not let us and the Sand Village handle him?"

Orochimaru and Kabuto suddenly dodged the shadow that was leaping on the ground.

Seeing that the surprise attack had failed, everyone from Konoha soon showed up.

Shikamaru groaned, a little annoyed: "It's not that easy to catch..."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Is this what you mean, there is no need for conflict?"

I raised one hand, as if swearing to the heavens: "I am from the Hidden Mist Village. We didn't do anything."

Douge frowned: "The Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Sand Village and Konoha...actually they are acting together..."

Shikamaru made a cold joke: "It's a joint exercise between allied countries. I just happened to pass by. Do you believe it?"

"Look, we are in charge of Scorpion..." I said, "Konoha will be in charge of you... Isn't that great and perfect?"

Orochimaru sneered. "A mob, no matter how many people there are, it's meaningless."

The two sides of the Tiandi Bridge were quickly divided into two battlefields.

This scene is very strange. Scorpion and Orochimaru are enemies. Originally they were preparing to destroy each other, but now they are targeted separately and start fighting with others at the same time.

"Granny Chiyo...how could you have followed me here?" Scorpion's voice came from the puppet in a low and hoarse voice, with a cold and resentful tone: "Who leaked my information?"

Granny Chiyo avoided answering, "Scorpion...it's time to come back."

Scorpion said disdainfully: "Do you think you can stop me by relying on numbers?"

Kankuro said: "No, rely on ice escape."

White magic mirror ice crystals rose from the ground around Scorpion's body, layer upon layer, trapping Scorpion inside. The gaps between the lenses left no room for him to escape.

Just like when they met in Wave Country three years ago.

But compared to that time, Bai is more proficient in the use of his bloodline limit, his chakra is more abundant, and he has also analyzed his enemy, Scorpion, thoroughly and has a better understanding of him.

Scorpion obviously hadn't forgotten what happened back then: "It's the same trick again..."

"It's not just this one move." I pulled out White Fang, and used Raikiri to penetrate the blade - I didn't have to get close to him, I could also use the gaps in the ice mirror to nail chakra into his body, and then use it as a channel to deliver more lightning until his shell exploded.

Only when his true form is exposed can Shino's chakra worm find the "core" better.

A dark shadow jumped out of the scrapped body, and I saw a familiar, young, handsome face - the real Scorpion.

His face was ashen, and the Xiao robe that had originally covered his outer shell had been torn into pieces along with his body.

The puppet, which looked like a young boy, was shirtless and looked just like the exquisite and expensive life-size dolls sold in puppet shops.

The core with the word "Scorpion" written on the chest was exposed to the air and was extremely conspicuous.

Scorpion's intelligence was almost completely leaked. After being trapped in a very targeted manner, even if he could throw the scroll out of the ice escape and summon hundreds of puppets outside the magic mirror ice crystal, the puppets would find it difficult to exert their full strength when the puppeteer himself could not move.

Gaara's Sandstorm Funeral can easily crush them all, and Shino's swarm of insects is also densely packed, covering Scorpion's entire body layer by layer.

"The Hidden Mist Village...really has so many talented people." Although the possibility of bringing Scorpion back to the village is almost realized, Granny Chiyo's expression is not very good, "The young are really to be feared."

Kankuro looked at Gaara standing next to me with mixed feelings: "Gaara could have fought for the Sand Village..."

It was basically impossible for Scorpion to escape. I asked Neji, "What's the situation with Orochimaru?"

Neji's Byakugan took in the whole situation, "He's fighting Kakashi and Gai-sensei. Kabuto…it looks like he hurt Tenten's hand. Sakura is healing her. Lee's not looking right either. Naruto and Shikamaru are fighting him. And Shino is here."

"As for Orochimaru, it seems that the teacher has to deal with him... Can you tell whether Kakashi-sensei is using eye techniques?"

Neji could tell this by his chakra consumption. "So far, it looks like it hasn't been used yet."

"If he uses it once, he will become very weak."

Neji asked, "Do you want to go over and provide support?"

Although it’s support, they can also seize the opportunity to take Kakashi away.

I looked at Granny Chiyo and Kankuro, "If we leave, will you be able to control Scorpion?"

Kankuro nodded and pulled out a scroll, "Scorpion transformed himself into a puppet. Once you have absorbed most of his chakra, I can try to seal him in as a puppet."

"Let's reduce the risk a little more." Grandma Chiyo closed her eyes: "Break his limbs, or separate his upper and lower body and cut him in half..."

Everyone looked at her.

Granny Chiyo: "...He can no longer feel pain. The more we reduce his mobility to a minimum, the safer it will be to bring him back to the Sand Village. I'm tired of living, but I can't risk Kankuro's life."

I'm not interested in how they deal with Scorpion. "I'll go to Konoha to see the situation."

Neji instructed worriedly, "Take Itachi with you."

Itachi was very useful against Orochimaru, but...if he got close to Orochimaru, he would also be close to Sasuke.

...Hey, speaking of which, itachi and snake...

Although I knew that Itachi's name was an animal, but when it was put together with the snake, I suddenly felt that the animal attribute became particularly strong...

"I see."

I whistled towards the forest, and Itachi-sensei landed silently beside me.

We rushed to the other side of the Tiandi Bridge. On the deserted road, I asked curiously, "Didn't Orochimaru notice you just now?"

Itachi-sensei said calmly, "Maybe he felt that enough people had jumped out, so it wouldn't be a bad thing for one person to stay behind and not move."

"Hahahahahaha!"

I was amused by him again.

But after laughing, because I felt safe around him, I became worried about the possibility of losing him in the future.

I sighed, "Itachi-sensei…Sasuke might be nearby."

"I know."

"If you meet this time...what are you going to do?"

"… Let's first find a way to remove the curse mark that Orochimaru left on him."

"Itachi-sensei, do you believe this?"

"What to believe?"

"I have a way to let you die as you wish, and let Sasuke get his revenge as he wishes, but I can also let Sasuke get his gentle brother back as he wishes, and let you live happily together."

"Zhaolu, I believe you can bring him happiness. I feel relieved to entrust him to you. As for me... you know that no matter what, I must pay the price of killing my compatriots."

"Don't say something like entrusting your son to me now." I said dissatisfiedly: "Just wait and see, Itachi-sensei... Since you all have your own plans and are unwilling to change them, then I will also have my plans. No matter what you say, I will definitely complete them."
