Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

Orochimaru and Kabuto's attacks were indeed chosen very cleverly. They struck when the scorpion was numb and tired after killing the poisonous snake.

Faced with the joint attack of the two men, Scorpion really had no power to block it. At most, he could only move his body to barely avoid the vital position.

Whoops! Because of Scorpion's deflection, Kabuto's scalpel failed to split Scorpion's head as expected. Instead, it passed across Scorpion's cheek and cut off several red hairs.

It was also because of this small deviation that the poisonous snake pierced the scorpion's chest, but did not hit the black rod buried in the scorpion's body.

Still looking at the poisonous snake in his arms expressionlessly, Xie said: "What a pity..."

Looking at Scorpion who was still running and jumping around, Orochimaru couldn't help but think: "It's ineffective? Could it be that Scorpion's weakness is in his head?"

Before Orochimaru could think about the results of this sneak attack, the poisonous steel cable had already whizzed into his back and crushed his body.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru's body had already emerged from the severed cross-section of the poisonous snake and quickly blended into the group of poisonous snakes not far away.

While the steel cable was crushing Orochimaru, Scorpion's head suddenly rotated 180 degrees, and opened his mouth full of sharp blades towards the defenseless Kabuto in mid-air.

"Poisonous needle? You can't dodge it now, your attack is also your flaw!"

Seeing Scorpion's head facing towards him, Kabuto immediately reacted: Scorpion's attack was also the moment when his movements became stiff. In this case, he could still attack with his hand that had not yet been withdrawn.

Whoosh! Several venomous Senbonchu scorpions shot out of his mouth and stabbed deeply into Kabuto's chest and abdomen.

Click! At the same time, Kabuto also waved the palm that he had just attacked Scorpion, and directly split Scorpion's neck with a knife.

Kaka... Kabuto's attack also knocked Scorpion's head away. After losing his head, Scorpion's body movements were visibly stiffened.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Scorpion lost his head and was "down", Kabuto nimbly grabbed Scorpion's shoulder and used it as a fulcrum to do a forward somersault to avoid the giant shuriken flying from behind.

"Uh..." As soon as his feet landed, Kabuto clutched his chest in pain, "The poison has begun to spread... and it has also hit the meridians. Is it luck?"

He unhesitatingly pulled out the Senbon stuck in his body, but the paralysis caused by the spread of venom made his movements a little sluggish.

And Senbon stabbed the meridian acupuncture point, making his chakra unable to be refined, and the chakra scalpel he had been maintaining in his hand dissipated uncontrollably.

Although he successfully cut off Scorpion's head, Kabuto didn't think Scorpion would fall down easily. So after he adapted to his physical condition, he immediately moved away from Scorpion's location without stopping.

The next second Kabuto left the spot, a steel cable hit his original position, pulling out a deep pit in the lawn.

"Are you poisoned? Take medicine quickly. The venom of scorpions is not ordinary."

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Kabuto immediately took out a small syringe device from his pocket, and then pushed it directly towards his chest.

This is a "toxic retardant". Its effect is to hinder the spread and flow of poison. It was specially developed by Orochimaru and Kabuto to deal with Scorpion.

As we all know, Scorpion is a master of puppets and a master of poison. Once you fight him, if you don't prepare an antidote or other means, you will definitely die if you are contaminated by Scorpion's poison.

If possible, Kabuto doesn't want to use any "toxic retardant", it would be better to just use "antidote".

Unfortunately, according to Orochimaru and Kabuto's research on scorpions, they found that the scorpion's toxin would be adjusted according to each battle, so it was impossible to prepare the corresponding antidote in advance.

Therefore, what they can do is to prepare a delaying potion that "delays the onset of toxicity" to ensure that they will not be hindered by the toxins during the battle, and at the same time buy time to develop the corresponding antidote.

Especially now, Scorpion's Senbon stabbed Kabuto's meridians, causing the toxin to spread extremely quickly. If Kabuto didn't use the delaying medicine quickly, he would be unable to recover in a few minutes.

Orochimaru, who had transformed into a human form, watched Scorpion in the distance use a steel cable to roll up his head and send it back to him, and grabbed it with one hand.

The grabbed head said expressionlessly: "Use all your strength, Orochimaru."

Seeing that the scorpion was still jumping around, Orochimaru thought with a solemn expression: "It seems that the weak point is not the head... Could it be that I just missed the stab? Or is the core of the scorpion not in the upper body?"

Seeing that Kabuto's face gradually returned to normal after using the delaying potion, Orochimaru said: "Let's retreat first, it seems we can't kill the scorpion, and the poison on your body needs to be dealt with as soon as possible..."

He found that Scorpion seemed to be more difficult to deal with than he thought, and because he could not use ninjutsu, Orochimaru had no means to kill Scorpion. The so-called sneak attack twice in a row was enough, and there was no way to use it again.

Now he decided to retreat first and prepare for a long-term plan.

As if aware of Orochimaru's thoughts, in order to stop them, Xia stretched out his other free arm and pointed his palm in the direction of Orochimaru.

A small round tube stretched out from the palm of his hand, and in the next second, blazing flames suddenly spurted out. The flames were enough to melt rocks and instantly melted all the poisonous snakes along the way, and rushed directly towards Orochimaru and the others: "Fire Hell Formation!

"

As the flames came from the shop opposite, Orochimaru bit his finger, raised his hand and slapped it on the ground: "Psychic Technique: Rashomon!"

A steel gate with a demon pattern painted on one side rose from the ground, hiding the figures of Orochimaru and Kabuto behind it, and blocking the flames sprayed by Scorpion.

Seeing that Rashomon was still standing even though it was red-hot, the giant shuriken next to Scorpion mixed and condensed into a giant cylinder, crashing the entire Rashomon like a battering ram.

However, after Rashomon disappeared, Orochimaru and Kabuto, who were originally located behind Rashomon, had also disappeared.

Seeing this, Scorpion did not continue to pursue, but stood motionless on the spot with his head raised.

Not long after, four figures landed near Xie Xie, surrounding Xie Xie.

"What a fierce battle..." Sakura exclaimed as she looked at the battlefield around her.

In order not to be discovered by Orochimaru and the others, Team 7 hid in the actual battlefield, relying entirely on Qi Fei's explanations and movements on the battlefield to judge the situation.

When they came to the battlefield in person, she realized how fierce the previous battle between the two sides was: there were fallen trees everywhere, broken corpses of venomous snakes, charred and smoking traces, and various large pits.

Looking at the scarred appearance of the scorpion puppet, Kakashi said: "Has it reached its limit? But this is okay. We just need to follow Orochimaru's footsteps."

Unexpectedly, Qi Fei shook his head and said: "No. I just want to connect his head first, otherwise it will always feel weird and inconvenient to hold his head like this."

Naruto on the side looked curiously at the scorpion puppet, while squinting his eyes and guessing: "It's really exquisite. Is it modified with his own body?"

"almost."

Qi Fei used Wood Release to quickly glue Scorpion's head back to his neck, controlled Scorpion to move his head, and then let go after confirming that there was no problem.

Naruto squatted on the ground, looked at Scorpion's crotch and murmured: "In that case..."

Bang! Sakura raised her fist and hit Naruto on the head hard, shouting: "Shut up!"

"Hehehe..." Kakashi suddenly wanted to ask what Jiraiya had taught Naruto.

With his head glued on, Scorpion retracted the steel cables and other puppet mechanisms, jumped onto the re-condensed steel surfboard, and said: "Keep chasing, it should be time for the 'Oriole' to appear next."
