One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

Withdrawing his hand from Yecang's chest, Kusashiba's eyes were filled with righteous indignation.

Although the other person's chest resumed its rising and falling, his actions just now were definitely not indecent; they were all just in case!

Scorpion looked at Kusanagi with an expression of disdain, then flicked out chakra threads from both hands.

"Let me show you my trump card..."

The scattered puppet fragments quickly assembled, and then a giant puppet over 10 meters tall appeared.

Scorpion flashed, and a gap opened in the back of the giant puppet, allowing him to successfully enter.

Kusaji looked at the towering puppet. Although its appearance was less than impressive, a hint of envy flashed through his mind. After all, no man could resist piloting a Gundam...

Scorpion's indifferent voice came from the puppet.

"Now, prepare to face your destiny!"

The giant puppet's left arm was riddled with holes, and then a large number of senbon needles mixed with explosive tags attacked the grass mushroom.

The attack range was very wide, even including Yoko, who was next to Kusashi.

"Hey, killing even your own comrades is going too far!"

"Those guys who are easily dealt with don't deserve to be my comrades!"

Kusashiba, with Yekura tucked under one arm, calmly dodged the attacks, and couldn't help but complain.

"Scorpion, you've been playing with puppets too much, haven't you ever gone through puberty?"

Although he didn't understand what puberty meant, seeing Kusashi staring in the direction of his lower body, Scorpion felt a nameless fire rise in his heart.

"You smooth-talking bastard, you should just die!"

From where the grass had landed, several slender arms suddenly shot out. Although they were made of wood, they were exceptionally sturdy.

"It's no use, these are all special materials, no one can earn them..."

With a "crack," the wooden arm was uprooted, and Cao Zhi swung its legs.

"I must say, your puppetry skills are quite impressive. Would you be interested in coming to my village and helping to improve the production line?"

"You perverse idiot, you've successfully enraged me!"

The giant puppet's limbs suddenly scattered into various weapons, which then swiftly smashed towards the grass.

A low shout rang out.

"Divine Thunder Break!"

The scattered puppets were shattered into pieces by the sudden lightning, falling helplessly to the ground.

"Now, you probably can't reuse it anymore, right?"

Before Scorpion could react, Kusaji casually tossed Yekura to the ground, and then a blue energy wave shot out from his palm, accompanied by a dragon's roar.

"Dragon Wave Fist!"

The remaining head of the giant puppet shot into the sky, transforming into a shield to block its chest, but was pierced through without any resistance. A small, thin figure detached from the puppet's empty lower body.

The giant puppet was destroyed by the enhanced sonic wave from the grass mushroom. Scorpion stood on the ground with a solemn expression. A large number of puppet fragments fell from above, and Scorpion jumped aside to avoid the debris.

Watching his work being so easily destroyed one after another, Scorpion felt a little heavy-hearted and couldn't help but sigh.

"Puppetry techniques, indeed, have their limits..."

As the grass stalks slowly approached him, Sasori, whose chakra was greatly depleted, pulled out his last scroll from behind him.

"This puppet is named Hiruko, and it's a work I haven't finished yet, but now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to give it a try!"

Driven to the brink, Sasori had no choice but to use his last trump card: secretly researching human puppets was a serious crime, strictly forbidden even in Sunagakure, but now he had no choice but to expose it...

Cao Zhi didn't stop Xie from entering Fei Liu Hu's body. Instead, he was full of curiosity. He really didn't expect that there would be a human puppet at this time. However, Fei Liu Hu was not a finished product at this time and was missing many parts.

Cao Zhi slowly stepped forward and offered her advice.

"Or you could just admit defeat. I quite admire your work, even though it's only half-finished..."

Scorpion's voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, came from Hiruko.

"It's infuriating that the art I pursue is endorsed by an idiot."

Seeing Kusanagi approach his puppet with a dark expression, Scorpion couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery.

"This puppet cost me all my commissions from recent years. Although it's only a half-finished product, its defensive capabilities are absolutely unmatched..."

With a "crack," the bronze back of the Scarlet Amber was violently pried open by Grass Ginseng. The dragon tattoo on the opponent's right arm had faded somewhat, but Scorpion couldn't care less about these details.

"How is that possible? I clearly put a lot of effort into improving our defenses..."

"Haha, Scorpion, the way you're crouching inside the puppet is quite unique..."

Then, with his eyes vacant and looking utterly hopeless after his artwork was so easily destroyed, Scorpion was lifted up by the back of his neck by Kusashi.

"Just kill me!"

Cao Zhi threw the opponent to the ground without finishing him off.

"Alright, I've finished looking at your work. You can put it away now!"

"If your human puppet is discovered, you'll become someone everyone in the ninja world will want to kill!"

Scorpion obediently put Hiruko back into the scroll, and then asked.

"Why don't you kill me? We're enemies!"

"Why would I kill you? On the contrary, I think you'd be perfect to be my subordinate!"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion shook his head rapidly from side to side.

“I admit you are powerful, but I will not follow you, I will not abandon the art I pursue…”

Cao Zhi waved her hand, her tone revealing a hint of temptation.

"I've also heard of human puppets. If I could provide you with a large number of powerful corpses, how far could you grow..."

"What level of strength?"

"At least at the level of the Kage of each major ninja village!"

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

Seeing Scorpion's attitude change so quickly, Cao Zhi was a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down.

"I want you to become the Fourth Kazekage!"

Scorpion fell into deep thought, then slowly raised his head.

"Is that all?"

Cao Zhi's lips curled up into a slight smile.

"Although I value you more in Sunagakure, becoming the Fourth Kazekage will be your first test. Once you complete it, I will provide you with the corpse of a Kage-level fighter!"

Scorpion nodded slowly, his tone calm.

"The body must be as intact as possible, and the time of death should ideally not exceed one week, is that alright?"

Cao Zhi was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"can!"

Scorpion paused, still somewhat doubtful, before asking.

Can I trust you?

"You don't believe me? Then I'll kill you?"

"Forehead……"

Cao Zhi then handed over the contact information to the other party, exerted a little force with her legs, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Scorpion looked at the unconscious Yekura in the distance, but ultimately did not kill him, and clenched his fist slightly.

"Looks like I'll have to stay in this disgusting village for a while longer!"
