74Red Sand Scorpion's face turned greenAI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 74: Red Sand Scorpion's face turned green
The Nine-Tailed curiously peered over, wanting to know where Naruto had carved the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"It's…"
Naruto's gaze shifted downwards.
The Nine-Tailed froze, instinctively recoiling a few steps in horror as it stared at Naruto.
"You—you—you—"
The Nine-Tailed was dumbfounded.
What kind of mind could conceive of such a novel angle?
"You guessed it, it's the fifth leg."
"How about it, pretty discreet, right?"
Nine-Tailed: "…"
"You're amazing, it's certainly discreet; who would have thought?"
Naruto looked strangely at the Nine-Tailed, who had retreated a few steps: "By the way, you don't even have that thing, why are you so horrified?"
"Even if I don't have it, can't I guess your eccentric mind?"
The Nine-Tailed almost cursed out loud.
If Naruto were to deal with it, who knows what kind of bizarre ideas he'd come up with.
Who wouldn't be afraid of someone like Narutoonce they knew?
"Sasori of the Red Sand is truly unfortunate; not only did he transform himself into a puppet, but he also has to endure such humiliation from you."
"But how did you know he'd have that thing? I really don't understand you humans."
'It's already a puppet, that thing is useless, why bother with something so superfluous?'
"You don't understand!"
Naruto squinted: "There's a big difference between using it, having it, and being strong."
"This is a man's dignity."
Naruto said righteously: "It's like who can pee further."
The Nine-Tailed pouted: "Such inexplicable dignity."
"Come on, lend me some Chakra."
Naruto no longer paid attention to the Nine-Tailed's complaints; with a thought, the Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode activated.
No choice.
Theoretically, Flying Thunder God could reach anywhere.
But this required a massive amount of energy as its foundation.
If he had enough Chakra energy, he could even instantly travel to the moon.
"Let's go!"
Whoosh!
Naruto vanished from the room, reappearing right in front of Sasori of the Red Sand, colliding with him.
Sasori of the Red Sand: "???"
He was stunned, seeing Naruto suddenly appear before him, knocking over his research, and then nonchalantly dusting himself off and standing up.
Looking at himself, then at Minato Namikaze in front of him, Sasori of the Red Sand's expression slightly changed.
"You carved the Flying Thunder God Technique on me."
Staring coldly at Naruto, Sasori of the Red Sandfrowned, calmly asking: "Can you tell me where you carved the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
He was certain that he had thoroughly cleaned himself on the way back.
Logically, the Flying Thunder God Techniqueshould not still be present.
But the appearance of Minato in front of him made him realize that he hadn't cleaned it completely.
It shouldn't be like this.
"Cough!"
Naruto coughed, asking in a low voice: "I'm very curious to ask you a question, if I may."
"Ask away."
"What were you thinking? You don't need that soft thing, and it won't stretch and shrink like a Ruyi Jingu Bang, so what's the use of having it?"
"Also, how was that tool made? I think it's pretty good, it could be used for certain things in daily life."
In an instant, Sasori of the Red Sand's face turned green.
It was already so blatant, what was there left not to understand?
"I'll kill you."
Boom!
Sasori of the Red Sand erupted.
His head could be cut off, blood could flow, even a puppet could be discarded.
But personal dignity could not be lost.
"Ah~"
Sasori of the Red Sand went all out, for the first time utilizing his puppetry to its peak.
"What's going on?"
The research lab exploding wasn't a first or second time, but this time it seemed more than just an explosion.
Obito and the others rushed over, only to see Sasori of the Red Sand roaring and shouting in impotent rage.
The entire research lab was practically leveled by him.
A golden light flashed and disappeared.
"Flying Thunder God!"
Obito was startled, followed by wild joy: "Hahaha, you bastard actually delivered yourself to us, die!"
'Leader, let's attack together.'
Nagato's expression was solemn, and he also knew that this was an excellent opportunity.
Although he didn't know why this Hokage, impersonating the Fourth Hokage, would appear here, or what his purpose was.
But he had half of the Nine-Tailed inside him.
If heaven-sent opportunities are not taken, one will suffer for it; since he delivered himself, then they should go all out to kill him.
Nagato knew deeply that the so-called Rinneganabilities were not enough against this person in front of him; he needed even stronger suppressive methods.
"Gedo Statue!"
Rumble!
The ground vibrated, and a giant wooden hand emerged from the earth, clenching tightly, shattering rocks.
What followed was a massive husk.
"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Statue!"
Nagato's expression was ferocious.
This is…
Konan's face changed dramatically upon seeing this: "Nagato, no!"
Orochimaru's eyes burned with excitement as he looked at the Gedo Statue before him.
Even Sasori of the Red Sand, who was furious and almost lost his mind, stared blankly at this scene.
The leader actually had this hidden move.
Obito and Zetsu exchanged solemn glances; it seemed Nagato also knew that he couldn't handle Naruto with just his Rinnegan, so he directly used his strongest trump card.
"C-c-c-crap!"
The Nine-Tailed leaped up from the spatial ground in shock, staring at the scene in astonishment.
"What is this? I vaguely feel familiar with it. Naruto, don't tell me you came here just to see this."
"Ten-Tails' husk, Gedo Statue!"
Naruto appeared not far away, the rain falling steadily, his eyes narrowed, calmly observing the Ten-Tails' husk before him.
"Ten-Tails' husk?"
The Nine-Tailed's expression changed: "Are you saying this is the Ten-Tails' husk? Shouldn't it be sealed on the moon?"
"Oh, you know quite a lot."
"Nonsense."
The Nine-Tailed looked warily at the Gedo Statue, asking in a low voice: "You still haven't said, did you come here for this?"
"You're thinking too much, how could that be?"
Naruto spread his hands: 'I just came to see Orochimaru, who would have thought Nagatowould be so bold as to directly use his trump card.'
The demigod Hanzo of the Salamander back then was killed by this move.
Now he was using it against himself.
Silently calculating, Naruto concluded: troublesome.
It wasn't that he couldn't beat them, but there were too many people here, and with Nagato's cooperation, it would be a prolonged battle, which was pointless.
His purpose was clear; he wasn't here to fight.
However, since the atmosphere was already built up, why not…
"Then why did you provoke Sasori of the Red Sand?"
"If I didn't do that, could I have found Orochimaruimmediately?"
The Land of Rain was so vast, finding Orochimaruwasn't easy.
His time was precious.
"And now, I know where Orochimaru is."
With a light chuckle, Naruto said loudly: 'The Land of Rain's hospitality is truly unique.'
Nagato sneered: 'The Fourth Hokage's way of visiting is also quite interesting.'
"Die!"
Villains die from talking too much; heroes' predicaments are also caused by talking too much.
Nagato was not foolish.
Kill him or injure him first, then talk.
"Die for me!"
Roar!
Nagato's expression was ferocious, his body leaning slightly forward, letting out a furious roar.
The next moment,
Needles on the Gedo Statue plunged into Nagato's back, making everyone's brows twitch.
Massive Chakra surged into the Gedo Statue.
It moved!
The Gedo Statue roared to the sky, and astonishing power gathered in its mouth…
