The fifth generation of Konoha Village was booked by me

Facing such a behemoth, Scorpion felt very interesting indeed, because it was really the first time for him to encounter such a creature.

Although there is one such creature in Sunagakure Village in the Land of Wind, there were also some giant psychic beasts like the Konoha Sannin during the war.

But Xie had never fought against them. He just knew that these behemoths were very scary.

Now that he can fight with such a being at close range, how could he not find it interesting?

"It seems that we need to be more serious."

Xie murmured to himself that he was not sure about the specific strength of the behemoth in front of him.

But what he knew very well was that in terms of chakra and aura, this big lizard was at least on the same level as him or even more terrifying.

However, Scorpion was not too worried, whether it was such a huge monster or a tailed beast.

They are powerful, but they lack one thing, and that is the fighting consciousness of human beings!

The reason why tailed beasts are captured or even sealed is not because they are not strong. On the contrary, any one of them may be able to destroy a country.

But their fighting style is almost instinctive and has no tactics at all.

To put it bluntly, it means that you have all the power, but you don’t know how to make better use of it.

Although the existence of jinchuriki restrains tailed beasts, some jinchuriki can develop good relationships with tailed beasts.

By controlling the power of the tailed beast through the jinchūriki, the power of the tailed beast can be brought out relatively perfectly.

"It's a pity that the psychic beast is not a tailed beast, so it can't do this."

Xie was thinking silently, looking at the huge lizard in front of him. He controlled Fei Liuhu and suddenly raised his hand. The next moment, endless smoke and dust appeared around him.

The smoke and dust dissipated very quickly, but when they completely dissipated, the ground and the sky were filled with all kinds of puppets!

Scorpio is serious, this is not just talk.

Even though he likes to play cat and mouse games, he is never careless when it comes to caution.

"Let me see what you are capable of."

He mentally muttered silently, and then the chakra in Scorpion's body suddenly burst out, and the puppets summoned by him also took action at this moment.

Lizard Maru looked at these densely packed little people, and he didn't feel any threat.

For him, after so many years of war, he has long been accustomed to this situation.

Moreover, he also knows how to deal with such a situation!

He suddenly opened his mouth, and the majestic chakra roared out at this moment.

In an instant, the ground shook crazily...

...

After Natsuhiko jumped off Lizard Maru's body, he directly picked up Kusunoki and headed away.

At the same time, he was also using his perception to explore the situation on the battlefield and the situation of the ANBU.

Lizard Maru's powerful Natsuhiko had some speculations about his psychology, but he didn't think Scorpion could be eliminated with just one Lizard Maru.

After all, there is no psychic beast that cooperates with the command.

It is really difficult to follow the instinct and cause a devastating blow to a strong man who has gone through the test of life and death.

Lizard Maru is likely to lose, which is not surprising to Natsuhiko.

Therefore, Natsuhiko's instruction to Lizard Maru was to delay time. He believed that Lizard Maru could grasp this speed so that he would not leave Lizard Maru without running very far.

As for the ANBU, they seemed frightened by Lizardmaru's appearance.

But they were still elite ninjas after all. After realizing that Lizard Maru was really fighting against Scorpion, they quickly took a detour and headed towards Natsuhiko's location.

There seemed to be a member of the Aburame clan among those guys, because Natsuhiko had long noticed that there were bugs around them.

Those guys probably rely on these bugs to track their whereabouts.

Xia Yan didn't pay that much attention. Those bugs were basically dead when Xia Yan fought with Xia Yan.

And their detour will take a really long time.

"Just in time, I can implement my new plan."

Xia Yan felt the distance between the two sides, and then looked at Nanmu beside him.

To be honest, he and Nanmu had almost no grudges, but what Xia Yan hated most was being cheated.

From a standpoint, Nanmu's choice was not wrong.

In order to complete this mission, he would do anything, even the lives of others.

But Xia Yan actually had nothing to do with this mission. He had not participated in this mission in the first place. The reason why he came here was to rescue.

However, Nanmu showed no gratitude at all, and directly classified Xia Yan into the task, and even secretly dragged him into a desperate situation.

If it weren't for Xia Yan still having a trump card at his disposal, I'm afraid he would really be in trouble this time.

After all, Xia Yan is not the kind of person who really has the will of fire, and even his position can jump left and right!

Nanmu had tricked him, so he naturally had no intention of letting this guy go.

He had already had this idea in his mind, and began to calculate what kind of value Kusunoki could create for himself.

As he thought, he suddenly discovered that if Nanmu died, it would definitely be beneficial and harmless to him!

"I have my mission record, and rescuing them can enhance my prestige. This was my original plan.

Kusunoki's death is equivalent to the failure of the mission, and I took Kakashi to make the mission succeed. This improvement will be even greater! "

Xia Yan thought silently, and he still maintained the sage mode and sprinted towards Konoha.

"Furthermore, Kusunoki is the captain, so his death will definitely leave a vacancy.

There are not many people who can compete for the position of captain, and I am one of them by chance. "

Xia Yan can indeed compete for captain, because in terms of resume and mission experience, he is completely qualified.

Even before this mission, his strength had met the requirements.

A jounin is the minimum requirement for a captain, and Natsuhiko's strength has indeed reached that of a jounin - except for the total amount of chakra.

The total amount of chakra is Xia Yan's disadvantage. In addition, another disadvantage is his age.

He was too young, thirteen or fourteen years old. Even though he was already a ninja with five years of ANBU experience, he was still too young.

"But in this mission, if I release Lizard Maru, my disadvantage will be reversed!"

Xia Yan felt the shaking earth, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly felt a little grateful to his captain. If he hadn't gone to investigate Shouzaki Castle, he wouldn't have been able to get the Lizard Pill!

"The strength of Lizard Maru should not be weaker than that of the Sannin's psychic beast, but I don't know what it will look like in a real fight.

But as the psychic beast of 'Maishi Kishimoto', it's not a bad idea.

Moreover, I have a certain relationship with Namikaze Minato, and my promotion will be of great benefit to him. It seems that I have a great chance. "

This relationship with Namikaze Minato has indeed greatly enhanced Xia Yan's competitiveness!

And there is another point, that is, Xia Yan's disadvantages cannot be converted into certain advantages.

He is young and does not have much chakra reserves. This can be seen as the result of insufficient chakra due to his young age!

As he gets older, this can be overcome.

Especially since he now has jounin strength and Lizard Maru, this is a sign that he can be trained intensively.

"Besides, if I really become the captain, then Sarutobi Hiruzen shouldn't be able to sit still..."
