Konoha: Be cautious from Hinata

After seeing the puppet in front of him, Kabuto Yakushi quickly distanced himself.

Not knowing the details of the puppet, he did not dare to approach rashly and carefully searched for the puppet master hidden in the dark.

Unlike ordinary ninjas, the puppet master's combat power comes from puppets, and his own abilities are not outstanding. However, if the puppet master's true body cannot be found, all battles will be in vain.

Kabuto was not afraid of the puppet master, but he was confused as to why there was a puppet master in the underground palace where the Senju and Uchiha clan emblems were hung. The two people who had arrived here before were where they were now?

With the chakra scalpel condensed in his hand, Kabuto bent down in a fighting stance, waiting for the little snakes to bring back valuable information.

While Kabuto was staring at Scorpion, Scorpio was also staring at Kabuto in front of him, lost in thought.

Even though Kabuto disguised himself very well, covering up his face and figure, and even changing his breath, he still recognized Kabuto's identity.

There was no other reason. He sensed the backhand left in his mind.

Kabuto was a spy he sent to Konoha to monitor the movements of Konoha and Orochimaru. Unexpectedly, he met this subordinate here.

It seems that Kabuto has good attainments in medical ninjutsu?

Thinking of this, Xie's mind gradually became active. As long as he could get rid of the shackles of this armor, he would be able to regain his freedom and organize a brand new army of puppets.

But soon, Scorpion thought of Hinata's terrifying strength and that his subordinate Uchiha was by no means someone to be trifled with, so he gradually gave up on this idea.

He is not afraid of death, but he does not want to die in vain. Regardless of his identity as a prisoner, he is not disgusted with the current research. The combination of chakra armor and scientific ninja tools will become the future path of the Puppet Master.

And he will be a pioneer on this path.

Scorpion even vaguely felt that why should people wear chakra armor? Wouldn't it be better to directly control it?

At this moment, a whisper came from Xie's ear, which inadvertently caused him to retract his divergent thoughts, return his energy to reality, and look at Xie not far away.

With a flash of his body, Scorpion suddenly disappeared from the spot, turning into a black shadow and attacking Kabuto.

Kabuto, who was fully focused, quickly reacted. While dodging the attack, he slashed the chakra knife at the puppet's joints. The joints were the weak point of all puppets. Once the puppet was cut off, it would be paralyzed.

However, when the chakra scalpel slashed towards the joint, Kabuto's expression changed instantly.

It wasn't that his chakra scalpel wasn't sharp enough, but that the two pieces of the puppet were immediately connected together, and his slashing had no effect at all.

The method of manipulating a puppet in this way is by no means an ordinary puppet master, at least it is a strong one who is also a jounin.

Kabuto touched the injured cheek under the split mask, and his brain was working rapidly to think of countermeasures.

Generally speaking, the puppet master will not use a single puppet as the entire combat force. Controlling several puppets and suppressing them with numerical superiority is the puppet master's usual method.

Right now, he is having such difficulty dealing with a puppet, so he is obviously no match for the puppet master in the dark.

He only had two choices, one was to find the secret puppet master, and the other was to retreat while he was still uninjured and report the strangeness in this place to Lord Orochimaru.

After a thought, Kabuto ended his thinking. The other party did not give him time to think.

In just a few seconds, several ninjutsus condensed and formed one after another, blasting towards Kabuto. The underground palace seemed spacious, but the space for dodge was extremely limited.

Unable to find cover, Kabuto slapped his hands on the ground, summoning a giant python.

Bang…

Before the smoke cleared, the giant python was hit by several ninjutsus and was seriously injured before being forced to release his channeling.

Without bothering to say sorry to the giant python, Kabuto's expression turned extremely ugly. The puppet that could perform ninjutsu was not an ordinary puppet, but an extremely rare human puppet.

As far as Kabuto knows, apart from Elder Sunagakure Chiyo, the only one who can drive human puppets to fight is the Red Sand Scorpion.

No matter which one of these two people, they are elites among jounin, and their strength is not inferior to that of his immediate boss Orochimaru. If he encounters him, escaping for his life is just a luxury.

At this time, the sharp Senbon had reached Kabuto's neck, and Xia's cold voice sounded in Kabuto's ears, echoing in the underground palace.

"Kabuto, during my absence, you gained a lot of benefits from Orochimaru."

Hearing the familiar voice, Kabuto put down his weapon, lowered his head respectfully, and said, "Sir Scorpion, it turns out it's you. I have been executing your orders and have successfully won Orochimaru's trust."

"Humph!" Xie snorted lightly, took away the weapon from his neck, and said coldly: "I'm sorry you don't have the guts."

Kabuto immediately followed behind Scorpion, his younger brother was full of attitude, and he was very confused about Scorpion's appearance here. After all, Scorpion was missing in the Akatsuki organization, and Lord Orochimaru asked him to find Scorpion's whereabouts.

Kabuto smiled flatteringly, looked at Xie and asked cautiously: "Master Xie, why have you changed your face? I didn't recognize you just now..."

Xie's face darkened, but the puppet body did not show it. He just said coldly: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

After a pause, Scorpion looked at Kabuto and asked, "How has Orochimaru been doing lately?"

Kabuto said without thinking: "Orochimaru did not contact his subordinates frequently. He just asked his subordinates to stay in Konoha and collect information about Konoha."

"Really?" Xie responded, and then said: "Tell me about what happened recently. I have been making new puppets these days."

So this is the new puppet?

Dou thought to himself, and immediately began to answer Scorpion's questions, not daring to slack off at all.

Even without the constraints of brain manipulation, the gap in strength between him and Scorpion is an insurmountable gap. Even if Lord Orochimaru appears now, he cannot save his life.

However, as long as he successfully returns to Konoha, he can provide Lord Orochimaru with the news that Scorpion is not dead and is hiding near Konoha Hidden Village.

It's no wonder that Lord Orochimaru has never found the whereabouts of Scorpion. As a member of the Akatsuki organization, Scorpion is hiding near the enemy's lair in Konoha. Who would have thought of this.

But Kabuto still didn't understand where the two people who had fought before were. Xie didn't seem to notice him. Could it be that they hadn't entered this underground palace.

As if seeing Kabuto's thoughts, Xie looked at Kabuto and said slowly: "During this period, just stay by my side and help me with my research."

After hearing this, Kabuto stood still, attracting Xie's attention and said, "Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"

After coming back to his senses, Kabuto shook his head and said, "I just didn't expect to be able to participate in Lord Scorpion's research. This is an honor for me."

Kabuto's flattery was very comfortable, but Scorpion did not forget that he was still a prisoner, and the order to keep Kabuto was given by someone else.

From Kabuto's previous actions, Scorpion knew that Kabuto was not loyal. Not to mention betraying him, at least he was repeatedly jumping between himself and Orochimaru, taking advantage of the opportunity.

Scorpio is very clear about the mentality of this kind of little guy, but now it is even more playful.

He still can't get rid of Hyugazo's control, and the little Yakushi Kabuto will only be played with by applause even more.
