Chapter 445: The Scorpion of the Red Sand
Payne lowered the bodies of the two Timber Men on the ground.
"Alright, let's get started......"
He indifferently glanced around the members of Xiao who were present, and said lightly.
"Why is it so slow?" the Red Sand Scorpion said impatiently as he stood on the index finger of the Outer Dao Golem, "I still have a new puppet to complete!
The scorpion doesn't appear as a grimace weirdo with a scarlet rogue - after the old one is shattered by Sakura Haruno's punch, he simply appears as his main body.
That's the cute Shota look.
Because he made himself a puppet, the expression and eyes on the scorpion's face have not changed, and he has always maintained a calm appearance, but his impatience can be heard in his tone.
The most annoying thing about the Red Sand Scorpion is waiting for someone.
"Because of the Yun ninja's blockade of the border and the arrest of the big event, it took a lot of time for them to bring back the body of Ren Zhuli. Payne glanced at the scorpion and replied calmly.
"Hmph," Fei Duan snorted dissatisfiedly beside him, "It's not because that guy in Jiaodu had to take this corpse to receive the bounty for the assassination of the two-tailed human pillar force that we were exposed and were almost discovered by Yun Ren and them!"
"Shut up, idiot!"
Kakudu glared at his partner with his little cloudy eyes.
As a member in charge of Xiao's finances, I must save money and reduce expenses, and I can't let go of every little income...... What's more, the bounty of the two-tailed human pillar force is a lot of money!"
"Is it because of this stupidity that you have caused me to wait for so many days?" the scorpion's eyes narrowed slightly.
The murderous aura quietly fills this confined space.
One of the main reasons why the relationship between the scorpion and the horn is quite bad is because this kind of thing happens so often.
And the more important reason is-
"I haven't settled the account with you last time when you robbed Deidara's corpse with me......," Scorpion said coldly, he slowly raised his hand, and Chakra condensed dangerously, "Let's settle it together!"
Kakudu turned his head, his yellow eyes narrowed, and his eyes became cold and gloomy.
"It's just that you took Deidara's heart, and your weight is really small. He sneered and said sarcastically, "Or are you tired of being a puppet immortal and impatient?
Despite being an old ninja who has lived for more than ninety years, Kakuto's temper is still quite bad and does not tolerate provocation. For the evil words of a rising star like the scorpion, he didn't care about the nominal friendship between the two at all, and his hands quietly hung down, and he had secretly condensed the chakra and was ready to fight.
I was even ready to kill the scorpion on the spot here.
- He's been coveting the heart of a scorpion that can produce a huge amount of chakra for a long time.
And this kind of greedy gaze is the essential reason why the relationship between the two is like fire and water.
The earth-shattering civil war is on the verge of breaking out.
The other members of Xiao all stood silently on the sidelines, indifferently watching the battle between the two, without the slightest intention of stopping.
In the eyes of most of Xiao's members, these people present may not be able to reach the word "companion", so they have no idea of stopping all this. The fight between two scumbags with blood on their hands and countless killings is just a dog-eat-dog show, and it doesn't matter who dies.
At least in the hearts of Payne, Konan, and even Uchiha Obito, and even Feidan, or Uchiha Itachi, they all have a clear goal, to act for a certain or false, or ethereal, or empty, or stupid, or a beautiful and dreamy future, righteousness, and faith.
Killing and cruelty are just their means, not killing for the sake of killing.
In this sense, their level and strength are more than a step higher than those of two ninjas who only live for themselves.
And the only person who would treat the members of Akatsuki as companions had died not long ago under the Sakura knife of Haruno.
"That's enough!" Payne finally shouted to stop the fight between the two, "after all, you are still members of the same organization, even if you don't think of each other as companions, don't do such stupid acts in front of me......"
The leader's rebuke made the two of them stop the ninjutsu that was ready to break out at any time.
"Okay, spare your life first......" Kakudu said with a calm face.
"Hmph!" the scorpion snorted coldly, retracting its quietly sealed hands.
Everything was almost indifferent, and he still couldn't help but care about Payne's will.
In recent years, the Red Sand Scorpion has gradually felt the problem of making itself a puppet. The puppet's body is cold, so his mind slowly becomes colder and colder, more and more dehumanized.
It is also losing its vitality more and more.
Becoming a puppet is certainly close to eternal immortality to some extent, but a stone can live for millions of years or tens of millions of years, is that kind of eternal life meaningful?
It's no wonder that the puppeteer forbade the puppeteer to completely transform himself into a puppet - once he thought it was stupid, but now the scorpion knows that there is wisdom in it.
The scorpion gradually found that his mind was getting closer and closer to the stone: he was not interested in anything, he no longer cared about anything, and his heart lake was like a dry and hard stone, unable to wave. Only the fighting, the fierce battles, the only things involving the puppet, only the recollection of the scenes when he was a human being, especially when his parents were alive, can make him feel like he is alive.
Just like the previous fight with that girl.
"It's a pity. ”
The scorpion withdrew a hostile look.
He knew that this battle would not be fought anyway.
It also meant that an event that made him feel alive was canceled.
Since the last time he fought that girl, Scorpion hadn't met a suitable opponent to get him excited, and it had been a long time since he had felt like he was fighting on the edge of life and death, and his heart was beating violently. Kakudu would have been a suitable opponent, but unfortunately the occasion is not right now.
Payne looked at the scorpion with a pair of emotionless reincarnation eyes.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the scorpion's emotions.
The scorpion's chakra is still large and pure, but its texture changes from year to year, becoming more and more dry, cold, and lifeless.
Horn is right, the scorpion's idea is wrong - he wants to die.
It's not suicide that looks for death, but the scorpion gradually can't find the meaning of life.
After the death of that noisy junior and partner, the scorpion's side was much quieter, and it was also much more bleak and lonely. Deidara yelled that "art is an explosion" every day before his death, and he only found it annoying, completely contrary to his eternal ideals, but now the scorpion is slowly understanding him.
Like fireworks, after a violent explosion, it shatters itself and turns into a brilliant and dazzling fireworks, which is also extremely beautiful, right?
He made Deidara into a puppet and kept it by his side.
Deidara's combat power is an excellent complement to the scorpion, which suffered heavy losses after the battle with the girl.
But in a deep meaning, the scorpion did not have the idea of letting Deidara witness himself in a fierce battle, turning into an exploding firework and leaving the world brilliantly.
Art can also not be eternal.
It's a fleeting beauty like cherry blossoms.
Of course, Payne couldn't have imagined that the scorpion's inner world had such a mind****** no matter how powerful it was, it couldn't see through a person's heart. It was only with his sensitive intuition that he discovered the problem with the scorpion.
Payne didn't say anything, silently watching as the two regained their composure and restraint.
"Before we begin, I'll tell you a bad news......" After a long time, he spoke slowly.
"In the previous battle to capture the power of the seven-tailed human pillar, the dried persimmon ghost shark was unfortunately sacrificed. ”
