Chapter 774 Rejection
Zhang Hai shook his head and refused, saying in a deep voice, "No need, I'll help you."
Sasori asked in confusion, "Why not? This chakra is so vast; your strength will increase by leaps and bounds after you obtain it."
Zhang Hai explained, "The power is indeed great, but it's not suitable for me. This power is too chaotic, making it difficult to absorb and fuse with my own chakra. If I were to forcibly absorb it, my strength would actually regress."
Zhang Hai pointed out earnestly, "No one in the world is more suited to this power than you. You use puppets to distribute the power, forming a fluid whole, which allows you to spread the power to the puppets in battle. Damaged puppets can also be restored through it, while your main body is not greatly affected."
Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Scorpion's eyes. He admitted, "That's true. That's why I haven't left here and have been absorbing as much as possible."
Zhang Hai told Scorpion to "sit still and not move," then stepped forward and began to inscribe spell marks on Scorpion's body. His fingers moved like fluttering butterflies, and intricate and mysterious spell marks quickly filled the area around Scorpion with all sorts of runes.
After finishing the last stroke, Zhang Hai formed hand seals, and a powerful sealing force surged into it. He placed one hand on the scorpion's abdomen, and countless curse seals entered the scorpion's body.
The dragon vein power, which had been restless, was firmly bound by the seal and gradually transformed into a dragon-shaped yellow stream of energy that swam slowly within the scorpion's body, no longer raging.
The pain on Scorpion's face subsided, and he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, saying with relief, "Phew...that feels better. Thank you, Brother Black Soil."
Seeing this, Zhang Hai said, "Let's speed up the absorption. I have something to discuss with you."
Sasori unleashed his absorption speed without restraint, and the power of the dragon veins deep underground seemed to find an outlet, rapidly surging into his body. Sasori felt his chakra increasing wildly, but no matter how much it increased, it posed no threat to the sealing power.
Scorpion couldn't help but ask, "Brother Black Earth, what kind of sealing technique is this? It's so powerful!"
Zhang Hai explained, "This is a sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. I only used a magic array to cast it, which is a bit of a trick. If a real member of the Uzumaki clan were to use it, it would be even more powerful."
At this point, Zhang Hai couldn't help but envy Kushina's physique. He believed that if Kushina were to fight the Raikage, after activating the Nine-Tails' power, she should be able to wear the Raikage down to death.
In less than half a day, the dragon vein's power was completely drained by the scorpion. The once vibrant ruins have now become a desolate wasteland, and it seems that there will be no life for a long time.
After dispelling the barrier, Zhang Hai, along with Mabuyi and Scorpion, boarded the puppet eagle. On the puppet eagle, Zhang Hai finally revealed his plan.
When Mabui heard Zhang Hai's plan to use the Third Kazekage's puppet to control Sunagakure, she was shocked and incredulous like never before. Her eyes widened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What...what did you say? The Third Kazekage...he's dead!" Zhang Hai's audacious, almost insane idea seemed unbelievable to her, even absurd.
However, after hearing Zhang Hai's plan, Scorpion's eyes gleamed with excitement. He immediately understood Zhang Hai's intention, and his face showed an unprecedentedly serious expression as he began to carefully consider the feasibility of the plan.
Ignoring Mabui's shock, Zhang Hai explained, "I plan to use the Spirit Transformation Technique." He summoned the puppet of the Third Kazekage, then his body transformed into a phantom, using the Divide Technique to instantly enter the puppet's body. The previously empty and lifeless eyes instantly regained their luster!
"Look at me, do I look like a real person?" the puppet spoke, its voice exactly the same as that of the Third Kazekage in life.
Mabui found it hard to believe; she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word. Scorpion, on the other hand, observed carefully for a moment and then said, "Very realistic! But the eyes, voice, and gestures still need more practice."
Zhang Hai nodded and pointed out, "I only have one day left. The traces I left in the ruins as an excuse may be exposed soon, so I need to perfect the disguise of the Third Kazekage puppet as soon as possible." Scorpion understood the urgency of the situation and immediately began to teach Zhang Hai everything about the Third Kazekage, including his past experiences, hobbies, catchphrases, and even the smallest habitual gestures.
Zhang Hai listened very carefully to Scorpion's teachings and immediately began to put them into practice, repeating them until he was satisfied. Mabui watched from the side, a strong premonition rising in her heart that a great change was about to occur in the ninja world, and it was not far off.
The three of them underwent a full day of intensive training not far from Sunagakure. Finally, Sasori concluded that Zhang Hai was well-prepared, but he cautioned, "Once you enter Sunagakure, you'll need to be especially careful of one person."
Zhang Hai instantly guessed who Scorpion was referring to: "Luo Sha?"
Sasori nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, it's him. I had no idea that the Third Kazekage had secretly trained Rasa as a disciple, and I don't know how they usually communicated. This could be a potential risk."
Zhang Hai was confident about this. A subtle smile played on his lips. He believed that now that Luo Sha had surfaced, he was no longer a significant threat and could be put to use. He said to Scorpion, "Well then, it's up to you."
After the two finished preparing, Zhang Hai turned his attention to Mabuyi and handed her a set of gorgeous new clothes, telling her to change. He told Mabuyi, "From now on, you are the Queen of Loulan, so your attire should naturally be more noble."
The person before him was no longer the somewhat reserved medical ninja, Mabui. A creamy-white long dress accentuated her already healthy dark skin, making it appear even smoother and more delicate, like a piece of warm, lustrous black jade. The gold patterns on the hem of the dress shimmered subtly in the dim light of the cave, and the V-neckline perfectly showcased her beautiful collarbones. Her hair, usually tied up, now flowed smoothly over her shoulders, giving her an unprecedented air of gentleness and grace.
A barely perceptible hint of admiration flashed in Zhang Hai's eyes. He had originally thought that Mabuyi would look out of place in this outfit, but he hadn't expected the effect to be so good. This outfit not only didn't conceal her original charm, but actually amplified it, making her look like a truly noble queen.
Scorpion's gaze lingered on Mabui for a moment. Although he didn't show his emotions, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Clearly, Mabui's new appearance also surprised him.
"My Queen!"
Almost simultaneously, Zhang Hai and Xie shouted in unison, their voices carrying just the right amount of respect and awe. Their voices echoed through the cave, completely drawing Mabuyi into this absurd yet real "role."
Upon hearing this address, Mabuyi stiffened, a sense of helplessness rising within her. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her embarrassment and resistance. She raised her hand, gently rubbing her forehead, letting out a long sigh, her voice tinged with an indescribable weariness and resignation: "Sigh... I knew it would turn out like this."
