Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

"Sasuke, I didn't expect you to become so strong..."

Far away from where Sasuke and Scorpion fought, at a hidden spot on the top of a rocky mountain, Naruto, who was lying down watching the battle, exclaimed in a low voice.

Especially since Sasuke just split the entire steel cylinder with one strike, shocking everyone in Team 7 except Qi Fei.

Kakashi and Sakura stared at Sasuke's figure solemnly. They had the same idea at this time: the stronger Sasuke is, the harder it will be to bring him back to the village.

"I didn't expect Sasuke to develop Chidori to this extent." Kakashi used his blurry Sharingan to immediately see the principle of Sasuke's moves.

He was amazed that the "cutting" property, which originally belonged to the "wind" attribute, was actually fully utilized by Sasuke using the thunder attribute ninjutsu "Chidori".

[This makes me afraid to use the "Hundred Machines Exercise"...]

Seeing Sasuke cut open the cylinder, Qi Fei pressed the operation to use the "Hundred Machine Exercise" to put pressure on Sasuke.

Without it, Xie's "Hundred Machine Exercise" puppets are all made by Xie using the corpses of masters, and Qi Fei doesn't know how to repair or manufacture them.

According to Sasuke's attack method, as long as Qi Fei dares to use it, Sasuke will dare to kill him. It's not a life and death situation, Qi Fei will feel sorry for the toy he finally got.

Just as Team 7 was sighing, Sasuke's sword was almost swung in front of Scorpion.

Facing Sasuke's attack, Scorpion would not stupidly block Sasuke's knife with a steel cable, because it would be of no use other than being cut in half.

He in turn controlled the steel cable, using its length advantage to bypass the Kusanagi sword and throw it directly towards Sasuke's defenseless body.

Sasuke's Sharingan noticed Scorpion's thoughts immediately, so he suddenly changed the direction of his swing and blocked the path of the steel cable.

Clang! The next second, the tip of the steel cable collided with the Kusanagi sword shining with lightning.

"No incision?" Sasuke looked at his Kusanagi sword in confusion.

Then he discovered that the Kusanagi Sword had been covered with a thick layer of iron sand at some point, which made a small part of the Kusanagi Sword's blade dull so much that it could not even cut through ordinary steel.

"Sure enough, I still can't let go..." Xia said something that no one could hear clearly, and instantly increased the chakra output, directly using the steel cable against the Kusanagi sword to fly away Sasuke who was in a stalemate with him.

After being knocked away, Sasuke quickly formed a seal in the air, and then did a backflip, and sprayed a huge fireball at Scorpion's figure: "Fire Release: High Fireball Technique!"

Facing Sasuke's powerful fire ball, Scorpion raised his hand and pushed it back with the same blazing flames: "Fire Hell Formation!"

The two blazing flames collided and entangled together, erupting into waves of scalding heat. Even Naruto and the others in the distance could feel a trace of warmth.

"Hehehe... Scorpion, what should you do?"

Orochimaru said while facing the blazing air waves and dazzling firelight as he looked at Scorpion's embarrassed figure.

After Sasuke and Scorpion fought for a few rounds, he found that Scorpion seemed to be no match for Sasuke. The most obvious thing was that Scorpion's attacks were no longer as aggressive as before, and he focused on defense throughout.

He did not help Sasuke. In addition to taking care of Sasuke's dignity, he was also wary of possible "companions" and "helpers".

And from the very beginning, his intuition had been warning him that something was wrong.

This feeling became more and more obvious as time went by, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not understand what his intuition wanted to express.

In the end, he decided that after Kabuto prepared the antidote, he was going to take Sasuke away by force regardless of whether Sasuke and Scorpion decided the winner.

Zhizizhi... Just when Sasuke's huge fire ball and Scorpion's flames were in a stalemate, a figure appeared under Scorpion's body, and there was a beating electric light on his left hand.

"It's over!" With Chidori in hand, Sasuke stabbed Scorpion's chest with a knife and cut the black rod buried in Scorpion's chest into two pieces.

Just before Sasuke used the Go Fire Ball, he had already used the shadow clone. The shadow clone used the light of the flames and the cover of the heat wave to sneak up in front of the scorpion and pierce the scorpion's weak point with a Chidori, ending the battle.

.

Sasuke was able to discover Scorpion's weak points mainly because his Sharingan was able to discern traces of chakra usage.

Therefore, the chakra transmission of the black rod has nowhere to hide in front of Sasuke's Sharingan, and instead allows Sasuke to deduce the location of Scorpion's weak point.

Being stabbed in the chest by Sasuke, Scorpion moved his stiff head, looked at Sasuke in front of him with dull eyes and said: "Yes, it can be over..."

Because of the damage to the black rod, the scroll used by Scorpion to spit out flames could no longer spit out flames to resist Sasuke's massive fireball.

After there was no obstacle, Sasuke's powerful fireball directly hit Scorpion's body, preparing to burn Scorpion to ashes.

Swish, click, click——

A familiar cold wind blew, instantly extinguishing the huge fireball that Sasuke sprayed, and turning the Gobi Desert under his feet into an ice field.

Stepping on the hard ice and feeling the unforgettable chill, Sasuke's originally relaxed brows wrinkled again.

Phew - the next moment, four familiar figures landed in front of him.

"Sasuke!" Naruto no longer suppressed his voice and shouted directly.

"What the hell is going on..." Orochimaru, who was watching the battle from a distance, was a little confused. "Did Scorpion and Konoha cooperate?"

Otherwise, Orochimaru would not be able to understand why those Konoha ninjas came out as soon as Scorpion was defeated, and how those Konoha ninjas discovered this place.

According to Scorpion's character, if someone wants to use Scorpion to find him, Scorpion will definitely kill those people first.

Qi Fei glanced at Sasuke, and after confirming that it was the same as in his impression, he turned around and recovered Scorpion's puppet.

[I still got stabbed, the attack was so cruel, I thought Sasuke would show mercy because he had to be captured alive.]

Looking at the big hole in the puppet's chest, Qi Fei had a headache.

He was wondering if he should let Scorpion himself take a look, after all, this was his body after all.

Glancing at Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi, Sasuke said coldly: "All the familiar faces are here..."

"Sasuke, come back with us." Sakura persuaded, "We have been looking for you since you left."

"That's right, I will definitely take you back this time!" Naruto shouted with bared teeth.

This can be regarded as the sequelae of the last battle between Naruto and Sasuke in the Valley of the End. The first time he saw Sasuke in person, he wanted to beat him up, and even the Nine-Tails in Naruto was eager to do so.

"Sasuke, Orochimaru is just going to use you as a container for reincarnation." Kakashi said with his Sharingan eye open, "Don't let hatred blind your eyes, and don't be stubborn anymore."

"Boring." Facing Naruto and the others' persuasion, Sasuke dismissed them, "I have only one goal, and that is to kill Itachi. As long as I can kill Itachi, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice my body to Orochimaru."

"Sasuke!" Naruto became even more excited after hearing Sasuke's words.

His appearance began to transform into a demon fox visible to the naked eye, and the violent tailed beast chakra continued to gush out of his body.

Bang! Just as Naruto arched his body and was about to rush forward, a sudden slap on his back knocked him staggering, and the tailed beast chakra on his body dissipated instantly.

"If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later. Anyway, this mission..."

Qi Fei put away the scroll that sealed the scorpion puppet, walked to Naruto, pointed at Sasuke and said: "Take one back..."

Then he pointed at Orochimaru not far away and said: "Catch one of them back."
