Naruto the Genius

Chapter 167 Puppet's Body
The fight between Scorpion and the other two became more and more intense. Every time Sakura threw a punch or a kick, the huge weapon would be pushed back far away and embedded in the wall of the cave. Every attack by Sakura caused a huge impact on the stronghold. The cave had gradually collapsed after many attacks, and rocks and soil from the top of the cave kept falling down. Scorpion and Sakura both temporarily retreated to avoid the falling rocks. After many attacks, the entire stronghold completely fell down and turned into a large open pit. "

Scorpion said: "Although she is a little girl, she has incredible strength." Sakura, after being attacked many times, began to breathe heavily. Chiyo praised: "In such a short time, you have been able to see through Scorpion's attack mode. Even without my assistance, you can handle it by yourself. I didn't expect you to reach this level. You are really capable." Scorpion controlled the sand iron attack again, and Sakura successfully dodged it. At this moment, Sakura remembered the training she had with Tsunade before. She did practice in this aspect, and Sakura gradually became confident.

Once again, she rushed towards Scorpion quickly. Facing Scorpion's attack, Sakura dodged more and more flexibly. From time to time, she used the strange punch to repel the terrifying weapon. Scorpion's attack was getting less and less effective. However, Scorpion also noticed this and took action immediately. Controlling the third generation of Kazekage, she used sand iron to perform the "Sand Iron Realm Technique". Unlike before, the amount of sand iron this time was incredibly large, and it appeared above Sakura's head like a huge bird's nest. The spikes formed by the sand iron kept stabbing Sakura, and the density and strength reached a very terrifying level.

Facing this kind of continuous attack, Sakura obviously had no way to completely dodge it, and a wound had been cut on her arm by the iron sand. This meant that Sakura had been poisoned by Scorpion and would soon be unable to move. Seeing Sakura fall to the ground, Grandma Chiyo said, "You really poisoned the iron sand." Scorpion sneered, "The poison has begun to take effect, and she will soon be paralyzed and unable to move. If she is rescued, she can still live for three days. But it's over, little girl." As he said that, Scorpion controlled the Third Kazekage to fly towards Sakura, ready to finish off the dying Sakura.

At the moment when the human puppet made by the Third Kazekage approached Sakura, Sakura suddenly stood up and smashed Scorpion's human puppet with one punch. Seeing this scene, both Chiyo and Scorpion couldn't believe their eyes. However, at this time, the iron sand of the Third Kazekage had begun to dissipate. Sakura immediately rushed to Chiyo and helped Chiyo up who had fallen to the ground. Scorpion began to think quickly: "That little girl should be unable to move. Was it the old woman who operated it? No, under that situation, it is hard to imagine that she can make such complex movements. That little girl acted by her own consciousness. Why can she still move? She must have been poisoned by me."

Granny Chiyo also asked in confusion: "Sakura, you..." Sakura said: "Because I made an antidote. It was made when I helped Kankuro detoxify. I used up one portion just now, and only one portion is left. However, the detoxification time can only last for three minutes. During this period, no matter what kind of poison you are infected with, it doesn't matter." Chiyo understood and said: "I see." Sakura continued: "We must not let Scorpion know about the existence of the antidote. We only have a chance when he uses his last trick and is careless. This last one, I'll leave it to you, Granny Chiyo." As Sakura said that, she handed the antidote to Granny Chiyo. At this time, Granny Chiyo had suffered some injuries, and Sakura treated her.

Scorpion used this time to analyze the situation. Seeing that Sakura didn't look like she was poisoned at all, Scorpion immediately remembered that he didn't kill Kankuro who was already poisoned. He suspected that the Sand Ninja had used the remaining poison in Kankuro's body to analyze the ingredients. But he immediately rejected this idea. Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance of analyzing the ingredients, it would not be easy to prepare an antidote. The preparation of an antidote is much more difficult than the preparation of a poison, and no mistakes are allowed. Even Scorpion, who was preparing the poison, had to refer to the proportions of the poison.

Looking at Granny Chiyo, Scorpion began to suspect that the Sand Ninja made the antidote. However, he knew the Sand Ninja's medical level very well, and even Granny Chiyo didn't have the ability to make it in a short time. Seeing that Sakura was also a medical ninja, and Sakura was from Konoha, Scorpion immediately thought of Tsunade of Konoha, the legendary top-notch medical ninja. Although it was a little unbelievable, Scorpion was basically sure that Sakura made the antidote.

Soon, Sakura healed Chiyo's grandmother's wounds, and immediately took the time to treat her own wounds. Chiyo put away the antidote, and Sakura stood up, ready to attack without delay. Scorpion guessed that it was Sakura who made the antidote, and finally began to take this brat seriously. Scorpion said: "I didn't expect the third generation Kazekage to be broken. In this case, there is no point in using other human puppets. This is the first time since joining the battle with Akatsuki. It's been a long time." At this time, Scorpion had taken off his robe.

Seeing Scorpion's look, Sakura was shocked again. Chiyo said as if to confirm her own thoughts: "He has never aged with time, the reason is that." Scorpion was ready and said: "It's been a long time since I last saw you fighting with your own body." Looking at Scorpion, Sakura said with difficulty: "You turned yourself into a human puppet." Such a thing is really hard to imagine, how crazy Scorpion is. Scorpion is about to take action, and Sakura has been using the antidote for a minute, and there are less than two minutes left.

Sakura's specialty is close combat, and she must get close to launch a powerful attack. Before Sakura could get close, Scorpion had already launched an attack, and two flamethrowers appeared directly from his palms. A large amount of flames sprayed out from his palms, and the temperature was incredibly high. Because the third generation Kazekage was killed, Chiyo was able to control the puppets that were previously affected. She used the puppets that fell to the ground to attack Scorpion, but such puppets were burned to ashes by Scorpion before they got close. Scorpion's flames continued to burn, and the two could only dodge. Under the attack of the flames, there was no chance to get close, and they could only hide behind the rocks.

Seeing that this attack was not effective, Scorpion's palm sprayed a large amount of water. Unlike the previous fire, the high-speed water had a strong penetrating power and could directly cut through the rocks. Even if Chiyo and Sakura hid behind ordinary rocks, it would not be of much use. Scorpion had the upper hand for a while, and Sakura and Chiyo had a very difficult time hiding. If Scorpion's technique could not last too long, they would probably be killed sooner or later.
