Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 240 Giving You the Antidote

"Cheng!"

Just as the Third Kazekage was about to lose control of the toxins in his body and choose to unleash his full chakra to fight to the death, a slashing wave came from afar, directly cutting open the small oasis and leaving a deep crack in the ground.

Upon seeing such a powerful attack, the two men's expressions changed instantly.

However, Scorpion's pupils dilated, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he turned and ran.

The Third Kazekage, however, wore a pleased expression. Only that brat named Kaze could use such a slashing ninjutsu.

If that brat comes, he'll survive.

Although he was unwilling for the commoner-born Kazekage to become the next Kazekage, as a ninja under his command, the brat Kazekage gave him a great sense of security.

Sasori's puppets couldn't withstand that exceptionally sharp wind-style slash; in fact, no puppet could withstand such a slashing attack.

This is also why Fengxing, that brat, was able to surpass Sasori and become the first candidate for the next Kazekage, just like he subdued the Puppet Master army back then.

It's a pity that this brat Feng Xing isn't from one of the three major families, otherwise he would be happy to let this brat succeed him as the Wind Shadow.

"Cheng!"

In the instant the Third Kazekage's thoughts were in turmoil, another sharp slash swept across.

Scorpion's fleeing body suddenly froze. Looking at the bottomless slashing fissure in front of him, he obediently stopped and did not continue to run.

At this time, he had not yet developed human puppets.

Faced with Feng Xing's powerful attack that could cut through everything, his various puppets were nothing but a pile of broken metal, completely useless.

As for using poison... it has to hit the target. Relying solely on obvious methods like poison smoke is far from enough to deal with a powerhouse like Feng Xing, whose strength has already reached the Kage level.

"Thank goodness, I made it in time!"

A figure arrived in an instant, standing behind Sasori. With his back to Sasori, he looked at the Third Kazekage not far away and said with a face full of relief.

"Feng Xing, quickly kill Scorpion and give me the antidote from his body. Scorpion has already betrayed us."

Upon seeing Li Yao's Wind Release clone, the Third Kazekage immediately gave a loud command, as was his habit.

However, what arrived at this moment was Feng Xing, who was also Li Yao's Wind Release clone, and a Wind Release clone that acted primarily according to Li Yao's will.

"Don't worry, I'll get you the antidote right away."

Li Yao's Wind Release clone smiled, ignoring the Third Kazekage's words, and instead turned to look at Sasori.

He was originally heading back to Sunagakure, but unexpectedly, his soul sensed the souls of Sasori and the Third Kazekage along the way, so he immediately rushed over.

Fortunately, he didn't hesitate. Otherwise, by the time he realized that Sasori was assassinating the Third Kazekage, the Third Kazekage would already be dead.

Li Yao had to personally kill the five shadows who had surrounded and killed him back then; he couldn't let Scorpion do it.

"for you."

Scorpion turned around, opened a scroll, took out a bottle, and threw it to Li Yaofeng's clone. Then he stood aside and did not leave, but watched Li Yaofeng's clone with great interest.

From the conversation between Li Yao's Wind Release clone and the Third Kazekage, he had sensed that this Sand Village genius ninja, who was only a few years older than him, seemed to have some different thoughts about the Third Kazekage.

call out!

Li Yao threw the bottle containing the antidote at the Third Kazekage, who was twenty meters away.

The Third Kazekage reached out and took it, but did not swallow it immediately.

Looking at Feng Xing opposite him, the Third Kazekage suddenly felt very unfamiliar; this was not the Feng Xing he knew.

"Feng Xing, I'm ordering you to kill Sasori immediately." The Third Kazekage's eyes narrowed slightly as he once again assumed the identity of Kazekage.

"Eat it quickly, the antidote is real."

Li Yao's Wind Release clone ignored the Third Kazekage's words, glanced at Sasori beside him, and chuckled to the Third Kazekage, "If it's fake, Sasori will definitely die. I'm telling you, even if the Sage of Six Paths came, it wouldn't make a difference."

powerful!

Unparalleled power!

Scorpion had no doubt about the truthfulness of the words spoken by Li Yaofeng's clone.

He had heard before how powerful this genius ninja with the "Walking of the Wind" was, and his special Wind Release - Slash was hailed as the most powerful ninjutsu that could kill "Konoha's White Fang" to avenge his parents.

Now that he has truly experienced it, Scorpion knows that those legends were not wrong.

Standing next to Feng Xing, whose Wind Release chakra was extremely refined and sharp, Sasori felt as if he were being sliced ​​into countless pieces. His skin ached all over, as if he was being slashed countless times every moment.

It was precisely because he sensed this power that he did not flee, nor did he dare to flee.

"Are you... also going to betray Sunagakure?"

The Third Kazekage stared at Li Yao's Wind Release clone, Kazekage, with a grim face, clearly understanding that this brat Kazekage had also come to kill him.

Why?

Could it be that those old guys made their move?

Even so, Feng Xing shouldn't have thought of killing him.

Did Feng Xing think that killing him would allow him to become the Wind Shadow?

If that's really what he thinks, then this kid is underestimating those old guys.

If being the Wind Shadow was so easy, it wouldn't have been controlled by the three major families for so long.

"Are you going to eat or not? If you don't, I'll just start eating."

Seeing the Third Kazekage lost in thought, Li Yao's Wind Release clone grew impatient. The reason he gave the Third Kazekage the antidote was simply to satisfy his wicked pleasure by killing the Third Kazekage in his all-out battle, but that didn't mean he wouldn't act if the Third Kazekage didn't take the antidote.

You'll regret it.

The Third Kazekage looked at Li Yao's Wind Release clone and said in a deep voice.

Li Yao laughed when he heard this and replied, "I am the fourth generation Wind Shadow."

The Third Kazekage choked upon hearing this, then opened the bottle, tilted his head back, and swallowed the antidote.

At this moment, further words are useless. If the antidote is real, he will let these two bastards know that the title of the strongest Kazekage in history is not just for show.

Wait... it's true!

Soon, the feedback from his body surprised the Third Kazekage. He looked at Sasori and Kazekage opposite him. Did these two brats really think they could kill him without the restraint of poison?

Squeak!

Sensing that the toxins in his body were rapidly neutralizing under the antidote, and that he no longer needed to suppress them with his chakra, the Third Kazekage immediately took out a special soldier's ration pill, crushed it, and swallowed it to restore his chakra.

"you……"

Seeing that Li Yao's Wind Release clone watched the Third Hokage eat the soldier's ration pill to recover his chakra without any reaction, Sasori immediately became nervous.

The wind-style slashes of the Wind Release are powerful, but the Third Kazekage's control over iron sand is equally terrifying.

Bang bang!

Two plumes of white smoke burst open on the ground. As the smoke dissipated, two scallop-shaped puppets, one large and one small, were revealed.

The scorpion immediately manipulated the smaller scallop puppet to open its mouth, then quickly crawled inside. It then controlled the larger scallop puppet to eat the smaller one, and finally moved and burrowed into the sand.

Li Yaofeng's clone did not stop Scorpion's actions; in fact, he would protect Scorpion if danger arose later.

The original body has been searching for a way to break down chakra into spiritual energy and physical energy, and Sasori's human puppet might provide new inspiration.

This was something Li Yaofeng suddenly thought of while on his way here, using his clone.

Therefore, the scorpion cannot die yet.

Soon, the Third Kazekage's body was free of toxins, and his chakra was mostly restored, enough for him to defeat Kazekage and Sasori.

"You'll regret this."

The Third Kazekage spoke again, but Li Yao simply smiled and remained silent. The Third Kazekage didn't waste any words either, quickly forming hand seals.

"Magnetic Release - Sea of ​​Iron Sand!"

"what……"

As the Third Kazekage shouted, black iron sand, drawn by a magnetic force, emerged from the depths of the sand sea within a three-kilometer radius and converged into the sky.

Soon, the sun was blocked above Li Yao and the Third Kazekage, and a sea of ​​iron sand floated a hundred meters in the air, covering an area of ​​two kilometers in radius.

From a distance, it looks like a thick, dark cloud.

The oppressive feeling of dark clouds looming over the city, threatening to crush it, instantly overwhelmed us.
