Naruto the Genius

Chapter 163 So-called Art

Deidara made hand seals while descending. When he saw Naruto standing on his vehicle, a sneer appeared on the corner of Deidara's mouth. Soon, Deidara rolled twice in the air and stood on the ground. The bird in the air suddenly exploded as Deidara finished making hand seals. Although the explosion power of this bird is not as strong as Deidara's high-level bomb, it is also very powerful. Ordinary ninjas will definitely be killed. Looking at the smoke and dust after the explosion in the air, Deidara said, "Did you kill it?"

A voice appeared behind Deidara again and said, "Unfortunately, not yet." Naruto kicked Deidara casually, and Deidara fell flat on his face, with dust flying all over the ground. Deidara got up from the ground, looking very embarrassed, but he did not take any more actions, but stood still. He basically realized that his strength was not at the same level as Naruto's, and the reason he was able to survive until now was because Naruto had been playing tricks on him.

On the other side, after Kai and others opened the seal, a person who looked exactly like them immediately appeared. The difference between this and fighting the enemy is that it is like fighting against yourself in the mirror, the moves are exactly the same, and it is difficult to find a way to win. As the saying goes, the most difficult person to defeat is often himself. Kakashi knew that Naruto gave Sakura something extraordinary, and considering the urgent situation on Kai's side, he hurried over to Kai's side.

Originally Kakashi was going to help Gai, but halfway through, when he was about to get close to Gai, another Kakashi appeared. Unexpectedly, because of Naruto, there was an extra layer of setup, and even the possibility of Kakashi going over to reinforce was taken into consideration. In this way, Kakashi had no choice but to stop and start fighting with another self. Not only was there no way to help Gai's team out of trouble, but he himself was also in crisis to a certain extent. Naruto was still confronting Deidara, and had no plans to rescue Kakashi and others for the time being, so they should not be killed by the imposters.

Chiyo and Sakura were confronting Scorpion. Chiyo had a lot of experience in combat, and even Scorpion didn't dare to approach rashly. In order to take the initiative, Chiyo took out a string of kunai from her body, and these kunai were floating in the air. Chiyo shouted: "Shoot the blades." These kunai were suddenly shot out, and they could change direction in the air. Although Scorpion blocked a few, his clothes were still scratched. Scorpion simply took off his clothes, revealing the puppet inside, his nephew.

Seeing the strange shape of Scorpion, Sakura asked in confusion: "What is that?" Chiyo said: "That is not Scorpion's true body." Sakura said: "I can also feel that it is not the true body." Chiyo said: "Really? That is a puppet." Sakura asked in confusion: "Then where is the true body?" Besides, shouldn't the puppeteer be controlling it with strings from behind? "Chiyo said: "The true body is inside."

Sakura was shocked when she heard this. This was beyond her understanding of puppeteers. Seeing Sakura's expression, Chiyo explained, "Generally, puppeteers are weak in close combat, and it is easy for them to reveal flaws when controlling puppets. In other words, that puppet is enough to overcome this shortcoming. The puppet is both his armor and his weapon. It is the puppet that Scorpion is best at - his nephew."

Sakura asked, "Grandma Chiyo, do you know anything about this puppet?" Chiyo nodded confidently and said, "Yes, I know a lot about that puppet." At this time, Scorpion had already started talking. He said in a low voice, "Deidara ran away first, and he hasn't figured out the situation of art yet. Do you know how my art collection is made?"

Sakura and Granny Chiyo didn't answer. Scorpion's eyes flashed with ferocity as he said, "First, remove the internal organs, clean them, and then drain the blood. After embalming, install various devices, and a puppet collection is complete. Just like the old woman said, your nephew's appearance is also a collection. Moreover, that little girl, plus you and Granny Chiyo, there are exactly three hundred of them now. My art!"

Sakura felt very cruel and shocked by Scorpion's words. When Chiyo heard what Scorpion said, she started to talk about Scorpion's past: "When this guy was in the Sand Ninja, he was known as a genius stylist and made a large number of high-quality puppets for the Sand Ninja. However, he continued to invest his efforts in this and actually made people into puppets as collections, and called it art. That nephew was made by Scorpion using ninjas from other villages." These actions really scared Sakura. Chiyo continued: "This kind of puppet that retains the form of a person before his death is called a human puppet."

At this moment, Scorpion said, "You will soon become like that, and become part of my artwork." Then, he began to shake his nephew's tail, ready to take action. Chiyo's grandmother Mashan and Sakura explained, "My nephew is a puppet that can attack and defend at the same time. In short, we must get Scorpion out of my nephew first." Sakura said, "Then, what should we do?"

Chiyo said: "The scariest thing about puppets is their hidden mechanisms. If you don't know the secrets, where they come from, and how to attack, you won't know." Sakura said: "Don't you know that puppet very well? We still have a chance of winning." Chiyo nodded slightly and said: "At first I thought I could do it alone, but it seems that it won't work." Sakura said: "What do you mean?"

Granny Chiyo said, "It has some changes in form from the puppet nephew I knew in the past. First of all, there is no shell on the back, it seems that the defense has been strengthened. The left hand is also the first time I have seen it, so the important mechanical devices may have been modified." Sakura looked at Scorpion and said, "How to do it?" Granny Chiyo said, "To defeat Scorpion, you can only smash your nephew into pieces first. I don't have such destructive power. I can only use the super strength fist that Princess Tsunade taught you directly. I can only get close to that guy and use my super strength to smash my nephew into pieces."

Chiyo said seriously: "But you must avoid all attacks from the mechanisms and dodge everything perfectly. Even a scratch is not allowed." Sakura also understood and said: "It's poison." Chiyo nodded and said: "Yes, a scratch can also be a fatal injury. If you want to avoid attacks, you must understand the attack habits of the stylist puppets and have the ability to judge the situation to avoid sudden attacks."

Sakura looked at Scorpion opposite her and said worriedly: "These abilities are not enough for me." Chiyo said: "Indeed, this requires a lot of actual combat. But what do you think of me? I look like an unreliable old woman. However, leave this matter to me."
