One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

As the two sides clashed more and more frequently, Sasuke Uchiha gradually became sluggish due to the consequences of forcibly activating the Flying Thunder God Technique, and coupled with massive blood loss, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position!

Meanwhile, the giant puppet continued to spew flames and launch wide-area attacks towards his location, putting Sasuke in a dilemma!

Meanwhile, Sasori, who was absorbing the power of the dragon vein, didn't care about Sasuke's life or death. He was already shocked and attracted by this powerful force!

With the power of the dragon vein, Scorpion can create more and stronger puppets!

Just as Sasuke Uchiha was in danger and Toneri Otsutsuki was about to help, another figure appeared with a tail behind him.

Seeing the spiral-shaped serrations falling towards Sasuke's crown, Naruto Uzumaki could no longer ignore it, even though his relationship with Sasuke was far from harmonious and their daily life consisted of bickering!

Within the Tailed Beast's consciousness space, the Nine-Tails, who had been resting with its eyes closed, raised a slight smile at the corner of its mouth, its anxious voice echoing within.

"Boss Fox, lend me your power!"

"it is good!"

Two tails appeared behind him, and fox whiskers grew on Naruto's face. With a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, he saved Sasuke with one hand and extended a tail formed of a large amount of chakra with the other, which wrapped around the serrated edge.

"Arrogant Sasuke, leave the rest to me!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened, but the pain emanating from his body, along with the dizziness and discomfort from forcibly using spatial powers, prevented him from making his usual protest.

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head and muttered something under his breath.

"This is trouble, Naruto...!"

Naruto Uzumaki instantly left his spot, handed Sasuke over to Toneri Otsutsuki, and then glared angrily at Hyakujutsu. Unbeknownst to him, he had already come to regard Sasuke as a comrade!

Have you ever witnessed true power?

"What are you saying, you brat!"

Inside the puppet, Centipede saw the off-the-charts chakra data on the body's surface and immediately wanted to escape, but the situation at the moment did not allow him to think too much.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

As Naruto's voice fell, five shadow clones, each with two tails, appeared. He was now able to control the power of the two tails and was no longer affected by the malice in the tailed beast's chakra!

Five shadow clones quickly stepped forward and dismantled the giant puppet that Sasuke couldn't take down in a short time. The centipede inside still tried to resist, but Naruto directly leaped high into the air.

It lashed out at its opponent with its tail, slamming the giant puppet's remains into the ground.

As the dust billowed, Naruto Uzumaki removed his chakra cloak and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hit him too hard just now. Centipede is probably dead now..."

As the dust settled, the centipede was nowhere to be seen among the puppet's remains. Instead, in the direction of the dragon vein, Sasori, holding the Third Raikage puppet with one hand and carrying the wounded and terrified centipede in his other hand, spoke coldly.

"You've become obedient now. If I hadn't protected you just now, you would have been creating a so-called puppet army in the Pure Land!"

Centipede stared in shock at the red-haired youth who appeared behind Hiruko's shell, and said in an incredulous tone.

"you you you……"

"You are Sasori of the Red Sand!"

After listening, the scorpion looked at the centipede with great interest.

"What, are there still ninjas in Sunagakure who know me?"

Upon hearing the other party acknowledge his identity, Baizu immediately knelt down with fervent eyes.

"I'm willing to go back to Kusagakure with you, I only ask that you teach me puppetry!"

Centipede killed his comrades, seized information, and fled Sunagakure. On one hand, he was confident that he could use the Dragon Vein. On the other hand, he was also disappointed by Sunagakure's current subservience to Kusagakure, which had completely lost its integrity as one of the Five Great Nations. He took the initiative to defect because of his long-standing disappointment.

Now that he has met the former genius puppeteer of Sunagakure, who can not only use powerful puppets, but also utilize the power of the Dragon Vein more efficiently, he has decided to follow him.

Scorpion glanced casually at Centipede, and then, considering Centipede's behavior, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

He wasn't completely indifferent to Sunagakure; he would keep an eye on it privately. Most of the puppeteers used his previous puppet creations, at most modifying them by adding different weapons.

Since Centipede had at least demonstrated some strength and its puppet was barely qualified to follow him, Scorpion tapped his chin and casually tossed out a pair of shackles.

"Cuff yourself, and we'll talk about it after I've received all the power of the dragon vein."

Upon hearing this, Centipede immediately nodded excitedly, then put the shackles on himself. A wave of weakness washed over him, causing him to collapse to the ground, though he still wore a smile on his face.

"I thought the art of puppetry had reached its limit, but now it seems I still have a chance to become even stronger!"

Otsutsuki Toneri placed his hand, which glowed faintly, on Sasuke's injured area. This was a medical ninjutsu that he had asked the Kusakage for in his spare time, and it was now coming in handy.

Uchiha Sasuke's forehead was covered in cold sweat, all from the pain. It was Toneri Otsutsuki's medical ninjutsu, he didn't know who he had consulted, but although the healing effect was very good, the pain level was rising!

Scorpion frowned, realizing that the dragon vein's power was showing signs of agitation. Helpless, he turned away, leaving behind a remark.

"You all go outside and keep watch now. I need to concentrate on absorbing the power of the dragon vein!"

So Naruto, holding the other end of the shackles, ignored Hyakuzuki's curses and dragged him out of the main hall like a dead dog, causing Hyakuzuki to suffer multiple scrapes and injuries all over his body...

Then, the puppet of the third Kazekage appeared in mid-air, spitting out a large amount of iron sand. Layer upon layer of thick iron sand filled the damaged parts of the hall, gradually forming a solid iron fortress.

As Sasuke Uchiha gradually regained control of his body, his first choice was to get away from Toneri Otsutsuki. He waved his hands repeatedly at Toneri while taking out a scroll.

"I have the latest medical scrolls, I don't need your help, Hermit!"

Reluctantly, Toneri Otsutsuki dispersed his chakra, pondering whether he should perform a second modification to the medical ninjutsu to reduce the patient's pain...

Naruto Uzumaki watched this scene with amusement, then lowered his head to tidy up his ninja tool bag, which was somewhat messy from the battle, when suddenly a steady voice rang out.

A man with long white hair, wearing a headband with the character "oil" on it, emerged from the ruins and greeted the three people familiarly.

"Naruto, Sasuke, and that handsome young man, hello there!"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the newcomer and immediately drew his dagger on alert. He hadn't even noticed the other person's appearance!

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the somewhat familiar man, and the image of him overlapped with his memory. He immediately pointed at the man's face and roared.

"I remember you, the bad guy who kidnapped me from the village when I was a child. Grandpa Danzo said you are a disgrace to Konoha and the highest-ranking rogue ninja leader in the village's history!"
