My Ninja Cat Thought I Was Weak, So I Stole Thunder Fruit

Chapter 454 Konoha really made money this time (3 in 1)

Although Gaara was rescued by Naruto and Sasuke, this incident had a great impact on Yulong's heart.

It even made him feel suspicious of life.

Whether it is facing the red sand scorpion or Deidara.

He and his subordinates failed to play any role from the beginning to the end.

Some Sand Shinobi were instantly killed by Deidara's detonating clay.

Didn't even have time to hum.

While making him feel fortunate, he also felt an unprecedented sense of gap in his heart.

In order to ensure that the task can be completed smoothly, in addition to being Sunagakure's Elite Jōnin, the worst of the others is also Sunagakure's Jōnin.

result……

What these Jōnins can do is far inferior to Konoha's three Genin kids!

Doesn't this mean that the overall strength of Konoha Village has far surpassed them?

"Although we are allies now, there are no permanent friends in this world..."

Looking at Naruto, Sasuke, and Xianglin in the sky, Yulong couldn't help thinking to himself.

In the previous ninja war, Sunagakure and Konohagakure were enemies.

Even the parents of the Red Sand Scorpion died at the hands of Konoha Shinobi, Hatake White Fang.

Yesterday was an enemy, today is an ally, what about tomorrow?

"Perhaps Lord Luo Sha's worry is completely right..."

You Long suddenly remembered.

Facing the annual cuts in military expenditure by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, Luo Sha once regarded Konoha as an imaginary enemy.

I feel that if Sunagakure's military power continues to decline, sooner or later it will be eaten away by Konoha.

Although Daimyo of the Country of Wind doesn't think that Konoha will have such ambitions.

Over and over again, I rejected this matter.

But after seeing Konoha Genin's terrifying strength, You Long also began to worry in his heart.

What if Konoha really had that ambition?

With their current strength, can they stop Konoha?

grunt.

Thinking of this, You Long rolled his throat and swallowed nervously.

"team leader?"

Noticing that Yulong was standing there blankly, as if he was thinking about something, Sand Shinobi who was beside him couldn't help raising the volume, pulling his thoughts back to the real world.

Anyway, Naruto, Sasuke and the others don't intend to come down and walk.

The terrain of the forest is complicated, and the direction is not easy to confirm.

It might as well be directly in the sky.

Identify the direction at a glance.

And it's unimpeded.

So, Naruto and Sasuke, one with the unconscious Deidara, the other with the unconscious Gaara, and Karin set off towards Namikaze Minato.

"Follow them..."

After You Long was woken up by his subordinates, he suddenly realized that this mission is not over yet.

They had no choice but to follow Konoha's seventh squad and return to the cave they discovered earlier.

Just different from Naruto et al...

In Yulong's mind, he was always worried about the outbreak of war between Konoha and Sunagakure.

Already subconsciously, Naruto and the others are regarded as imaginary enemies.

There was an invisible pressure on his body.

But no matter what You Long thinks in his heart, it's not a shameful thing right now.

It took about seven or eight minutes.

The group returned to the original cave in two groups.

And when they returned here, the battle between Namikaze Minato and the Red Sand Scorpion was also settled.

A mess among the ruins.

As for Namikaze Minato, he used existing materials to make a new mask to continue to cover his facial features.

Just when he was about to cast Flying Thunder God Technique to support Naruto and his party.

The figure that appeared in the sky just caught his attention.

Namikaze Minato stood among the ruins, looking at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.

soon……

Naruto, Sasuke, and Xiang Rin began to dive down.

Back to Namikaze Minato's side.

"Teacher Zero!"

Naruto raised the corner of his mouth, and threw Deidara, who had passed out and had no fighting strength, in front of Namikaze Minato.

A look of satisfaction was written all over his face.

As if showing off his achievements to Namikaze Minato.

"The enemy has been defeated by us."

Although Naruto specifically mentioned us when he described it, the expression on his face seemed to be deliberately emphasizing that he defeated Deidara.

Seeing this, Sasuke put Gaara in the ruins.

Either way, Gaara was the target of the operation.

Be more polite to him.

"Jinchūriki of Sunagakure has also been recovered by us."

Sasuke said lightly.

It seems to be stating an inconspicuous little thing.

But Sasuke knew it in his heart.

Whether it is the red sand scorpion or Deidara.

But they are all S-rank defected ninjas in the ninja world.

Especially the Red Sand Scorpion.

Assassinate the strongest Kazekage in history and make him into an adult puppet.

It is said that he is an S-level defected ninja, because the highest level is only S-level.

If we really discuss evil deeds, and strength.

The Scarlet Sand Scorpion is definitely a bit higher than Deidara and S-rank defected ninjas like Zabuzhan.

By Sunagakure All People Are Soldiers.

It is enough to see that the people who are randomly sent out are all Jōnin.

And Genin as Konoha.

Being able to perform such a task, deal with such an enemy, and complete the task excellently.

Not only will it become famous in the village.

It is also equivalent to proving his strength to the people in the village.

There is nothing wrong with letting them break through to become Konoha's Chunin.

Thinking of this relationship, Sasuke also felt happy and excited.

After a short time, You Long and his party hurried back here.

But everyone was not only out of breath, but also had bean-sized beads of sweat dripping down their foreheads.

"call……"

Yu Long breathed heavily, walked to Namikaze Minato, and looked at the mess around him.

"Where's the Red Sand Scorpion?"

After not seeing the corpse of the red sand scorpion, Yu Long couldn't help asking Namikaze Minato.

I also had bad thoughts in my heart.

Could it be that the red sand scorpion ran away?

"I've already dealt with him, that group is." Namikaze Minato casually pointed in one direction.

For the convenience of Sunagakure to recover the Red Sand Scorpion.

He deliberately piled up the parts of the Scarlet Sand Scorpion.

Including the regenerative core that has been severely damaged.

You Long and the others shook their heads when they heard the words, and looked at the thing that Namikaze Minato identified as the Red Sand Scorpion.

It's just that in their view, no matter how you look at that mass, it doesn't look like a human body.

It is entirely a special material used to make dolls.

You Long couldn't help frowning.

Some don't quite understand what Namikaze Minato means.

"What you saw was the red sand scorpion." Seeing that Yulong didn't understand, Namikaze Minato led him closer to the lump, and then squatted down halfway.

Tell him about the battle just now.

"The Scarlet Sand Scorpion can't help but master the method of making a human puppet. His thinking is more radical and bold, and he simply made himself a human puppet."

"Only one regenerated core remains, making Chakra."

"I have to say, among the puppeteers I have come into contact with, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion is the craziest one, and also..."

"One of the most talented."

Namikaze Minato spoke slowly, feeling that the Red Sand Scorpion is not only a lunatic, but also a genius puppeteer.

This is the art in his mouth, and it is far from being accepted by people in this world.

"Turn yourself into a puppet too..." You Long's eyes widened suddenly.

When he saw the Scarlet Sand Scorpion before, he thought it was incredible...

Because in his mind, ten years had passed since the Scarlet Sand Scorpion defected to Sunagakure.

It should be a middle-aged man in his thirties.

But when I saw him, I only felt that the appearance of the Scarlet Sand Scorpion was fixed in his teens.

Originally thought that the red sand scorpion was just well maintained.

Unexpectedly, he turned himself into a puppet.

And only then did You Long discover...

In the mass identified by Namikaze Minato as the Red Sand Scorpion, there was indeed a mass of flesh and blood.

Among them, the head part of the red sand scorpion also left a part of red hair.

And the facial features that he can never forget.

It also seems that this lump is strong evidence of the red sand scorpion.

At the same time, after hearing Namikaze Minato's story.

All the people present were shocked.

"I made myself into a puppet..." Naruto's two eyes stared like copper bells.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that there would be someone so cruel to him in this world.

Sasuke looked at the red sand scorpion underground, and most of the joy of rescuing Gaara disappeared immediately.

He stared blankly at the Red Sand Scorpion.

Of the two Akatsuki members I met, one was a guy who could use clay bombs to destroy things like crazy.

The other is a lunatic who is obsessed with puppets, so obsessed that he turns himself into a puppet.

I really don't know what kind of weirdos other people in Xiao's organization are.

And his big brother, Uchiha Itachi hangs out with these guys all day long.

As for the Sunagakure Jōnin who followed Yulong back here.

After seeing the red sand scorpion who made himself into a human puppet, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, and subconsciously opened his mouth into an "oh" shape.

The unprecedented shock hit their brains.

It was hard for them to imagine what kind of means the red sand scorpion used to dismantle his body bit by bit, and then install the puppet mechanism.

Just thinking about it from the bottom of their hearts, they can't help but feel shuddering.

The red sand scorpion is really ruthless.

However……

It was such a cruel lunatic, but he was defeated by Namikaze Minato.

For a moment, all Sand Shinobi, including Yulong, looked up at Namikaze Minato.

Not only did his eyes become deeper.

"Speaking of which, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion is a powerful enemy that even Lord Kazekage couldn't defeat..."

You Long thought to himself.

He is actually very clear about the strength of the Scarlet Sand Scorpion.

Even without relying on the poisonous needle, Fengying Luosha would not be able to defeat the Scarlet Sand Scorpion in such a short period of time.

He couldn't even confirm whether Fengying Luosha could defeat the Scarlet Sand Scorpion.

When he saw that Namikaze Minato was going to stay here and deal with the red sand scorpion, Yu Long felt that he was going to fight the red sand scorpion to the death.

Desperately, to keep him here.

If delayed long enough.

Wait until the three monsters Naruto, Sasuke, and Xianglin come back, and then attack the Red Sand Scorpion.

But now...

However, Namikaze Minato single-handedly defeated an enemy that even Master Luo Sha could hardly deal with.

And judging from the state of Namikaze Minato, his clothes are very neat.

Only the mask was destroyed.

Had to get a new one.

There were no obvious wounds on the body.

Behaving exceptionally calmly.

If Namikaze Minato and the Red Sand Scorpion fought to the end, they would lie on the ground powerlessly.

He wouldn't be so surprised.

Now, however, Namikaze Minato is acting as if it's very relaxed!

This made You Long feel puzzled in his heart.

Who is this man in front of him?

Why was it so easy to defeat the Scarlet Sand Scorpion?

And now, how exaggerated is Konoha?

Naruto, Sasuke, and Xiang Rin can also use Hefeng's disciples to forcefully explain the past.

But this Namikaze Minato...

It can't be Hefeng's disciple, right?

Shouldn't he receive special instructions from Hefeng?

Today's Konoha Jōnin, under the training of Hefeng, should they be as pervert as Namikaze Minato?

Think again about your previous worries.

You Long couldn't help but thump in his heart.

but……

Shock is shock.

You Long still quickly scanned the ruins.

Because long before the pursuit, I got the information from Kazekage Luosha.

Know that the Scarlet Sand Scorpion didn't just kill Third Kazekage.

Even made Third Kazekage into a human puppet.

Although for this kind of behavior, You Long is extremely disgusted in his heart.

But I have to admit that...

The human puppet of Third Kazekage has quite powerful power.

As Sunagakure's ninja, he deserves to be recycled.

"Mr. Zero."

You Long took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and asked Namikaze Minato, "Where is the body of Lord Third Kazekage used by the Red Sand Scorpion?"

In order for Namikaze Minato to understand the meaning and significance of this human puppet.

You Long directly called it the remains.

Not a puppet.

In fact, Namikaze Minato had expected Yulong to be like this.

If the roles were reversed, he didn't want this human puppet to fall into other Ninja Village people.

Even if the other party is an ally with them.

but……

The Hokage order issued by Hefeng is also very clear.

I hope that I can recover the puppet of Third Kazekage, and the 100-machine exercise of the red sand scorpion.

Although Namikaze Minato looks harmless to humans and animals, and smiles as warm and bright as the sun, but in his heart, he is not some indecisive virgin.

For him, Konoha's interests are the most important.

What's more, he also hopes that the ninja world will have peace.

He can be said to be quite appreciative of Hefeng's philosophy.

Based on this relationship, in order not to let the puppet of Third Kazekage fall into the hands of Sunagakure.

Namikaze Minato deliberately tampered with the ruins here before the group returned.

No matter how you say it, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion is an excellent puppeteer.

In addition to Third Kazekage and Hundred Machines, there are many scrolls of human puppets on him.

Namikaze Minato properly summoned a few, and then disassembled and destroyed them.

Let the fragments of the parts scatter into the cave.

Just waiting for You Long to ask about this...

I have to say that Namikaze Minato is undoubtedly a very good ninja.

He can often think one step ahead of others and walk in front of others.

"Feel sorry……"

Namikaze Minato's tone was full of apology, "Master Third Kazekage's body was severely damaged during my battle with the Red Sand Scorpion."

While talking, Namikaze Minato introduced the ruins he arranged to Youlong.

Indicates that the wreckage scattered in the sand pit is the puppet parts of Third Kazekage.

"After all, you also know that the most special thing about a puppet is that all parts of its body can be transformed into organs..."

Namikaze Minato did not forget to emphasize this point.

In order not to be killed by the red sand scorpion, he could only dismantle the puppet of Third Kazekage.

The result can be imagined but...

Yulong never dreamed that the puppet of Third Kazekage would be destroyed to such an extent.

He quickly trotted into the ruins, trying to dig out all the puppet parts.

But he is not Sunagakure's puppeteer after all, nor is he a Grandmaster.

Holding a bunch of unidentified parts, Yu Long couldn't tell if it was the puppet of Third Kazekage.

Plus Namikaze Minato's acting is realistic.

In his heart, he only felt that Namikaze Minato was a waste of money.

I don't know how to cherish at all.

But Namikaze Minato also had something to say.

All of these are necessary things to defeat the Scarlet Sand Scorpion.

It's self-defense.

"That's what I said, but..."

Yulong glanced back at Namikaze Minato.

My heart still seems to be bleeding.

I couldn't accept the mess in front of me.

"However, the situation of the Sand Shinobi, who are equivalent to the puppets of Lord Third Kazekage, is even less optimistic."

Namikaze Minato suddenly changed the subject and reminded You Long.

Not all Sunagakure Jōnin among the ruins are dead.

Some just passed out.

If you take them back now, maybe they can be saved.

certainly……

Namikaze Minato did not find any antidote on the red sand scorpion.

Guessing that the red sand scorpion just made a highly poisonous poison, and then applied it to the hidden weapon of the mechanism.

to kill the target.

In addition, he is already a puppet, without the organs and tissues that humans should have.

Even standing in the poisonous gas, there is no breathing channel and it will be affected.

Naturally no antidote is needed.

It has to be said that this is undoubtedly bad news for Yulong of Sunagakure.

certainly……

After seeing that Xianglin has the ability to save people, Yulong hopes to use her ability to save Sunagakure's ninja.

But this was directly rejected by Namikaze Minato.

Regarding Xianglin's situation, Namikaze Minato heard a lot from Hefeng.

And was requested by Hefeng.

No matter who it is, incense can't be used as a healing tool.

otherwise……

Every time Xianglin saves her life, it becomes "voluntary."

Can't tell at all.

Seeing that Namikaze Minato does not agree to use Xianglin's ability to rescue Sunagakure ninja, Yulong has no choice.

After all, they have seen the abilities of Namikaze Minato and Konoha Genin.

He didn't want to, and didn't dare to be an enemy to them.

Plus Gaara has been rescued and he needs to report this to the village.

After thinking for a while, You Long left two Jōnins who were in fairly good health and asked them to guard here.

I used the Shadow Clone Technique to create several physical clones.

Then put the unconscious Sand Shinobi and Gaara on their backs.

Finally take them back to Sunagakure.

Namikaze Minato and Class Seven will naturally not stay here.

They all followed in the footsteps of You Long.

Guy turned back.

It's just that the state of mind between the two parties is completely different.

And, they didn't notice...

In the corner of the ruins of this cave, a half white head fused with the ground emerged from the ground as if it had surfaced from the water.

A pair of golden pupils were observing secretly.

It is the White Zetsu that uses the Mayfly Technique.

In this state, they can subtly blend with nature.

Ordinary perception ability can't detect their existence at all.

It is precisely because of this ability that this White Zetsu not only witnessed the whole process of the battle between Namikaze Minato and the Red Sand Scorpion.

I even heard the conversation between them.

"I didn't expect that the red sand scorpion and Deidara were also killed."

Although he already knew that Zero is Namikaze Minato and Namikaze Minato is Zero.

But the Scarlet Sand Scorpion ranks among the top in strength in the entire Akatsuki organization.

There is even a Third Kazekage that can use sand and iron in his hand.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Scarlet Sand Scorpion is also a strong man with Kage-level strength.

Even if you lose to Namikaze Minato.

At least he can get out of his body.

result……

"Such news can't be said to be good news."

White Zetsu thought so in his heart, and then activated the Mayfly Technique again, left here, and went to the crack of hell, preparing to tell Obito the news of the sacrifice of the red sand scorpion and Deidara.

at the same time……

After discovering the Konoha Shinobi who tracked them down to the cave where they sealed the Tail Beast, Nagato released the Magic Lantern Technique and left there with Gedo Statue and part of One Tail Chakra.

But he has been observing the situation of the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara.

When he discovered that Chakra of the Scarlet Sand Scorpion had completely disappeared like Kakuzu.

His complexion couldn't help but become a little ugly.

"What's wrong, Nagato..."

And Konan's body was guarding Nagato's side at this moment. After she noticed that Nagato's face became gloomy, she also had a bad premonition in her heart.

She asked Nagato cautiously, but didn't want to hear the news of losing her companion.

However, the facts are a foregone conclusion.

Nagato could only say unwillingly, "Chakra of the Scarlet Sand Scorpion has disappeared..."

"Like Kakuzu, he was killed by Konoha's ninja."

When saying these words, Nagato's voice trembled slightly.

In order to bring together defected ninjas scattered all over the world.

He spent a lot of time.

But now, there are already dead people who have been dealt with by Konoha.

Deidara's Chakra, while still present, has also become rather weak.

And can't get in touch.

It is estimated that it was also defeated by Konoha Shinobi and fell into the hands of the opponent.

"Hefeng..."

Nagato's Rinnegan couldn't help but become a little darker.

In order to usher in true peace in this world, the power of tailed beasts is indispensable.

However, he never expected that the process of collecting tailed beasts would encounter such great resistance.

There are not many elite members in the Akatsuki organization.

The two times he dealt with Hefeng directly cost him four.

Hefeng's Hokage is really scary.
