A few days later, Chiba found his mission in a corner of a small town not far from here.

I saw a thin figure hiding in a wide black cloak, and a face was tightly blocked.

Although Chiba didn't see the face of this figure, and there was no evidence on this figure that he was a scorpion, Chiba still concluded at a glance that the person in front of him was a scorpion.

Whether it's due to the unique vigilance of the masters, or a subconscious feeling, Chiba is completely sure that he has found what he is looking for.

I have to say that the scorpion is indeed a master of art and bold, even if he has just committed such a big crime, he still dares to stay here not far away, you must know that Sha Ren, who has carried a big black pot in vain, has recently been looking for a murderer to find a murderer.

However, with the strength of the scorpion, it is probably true that they do have such conceited capital, unless it is the wind shadow with a large number of people to surround it, I am afraid that it is impossible for them to kill the scorpion at all.

"Bang!"

Slowly walking to the scorpion's side, Chiba put the bandaged shark muscle in his hand heavily on the table.

"Huh?"

The scorpion raised its head in surprise, glanced at the visitor indifferently, and saw that it was Chiba, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.

Chiba, on the other hand, focused on the refreshments in front of the scorpion.

Just such a simple snack made Chiba deduce a lot of things.

For example, the scorpion's self-modification technique is likely not to be fully successful, and it still needs to eat to replenish energy.

However, this is probably in line with common sense, although the scorpion was able to make a large part of a person's limbs and transform it into a puppet a long time ago, but if you want to transform your body into a puppet, it is obviously not that simple.

According to Chiba's speculation, the scorpion is the same age as himself, and he should have started to transform himself a year ago, which made him permanently stay at the age of fourteen.

It's just that it's likely that he's only temporarily half-transformed his limbs and head, and it must be difficult for the scorpion to maintain his chakra source and stay alive.

This should be good news for Chiba, which means that the peak of the scorpion's strength is still a lot worse, and there are many weaknesses, which are relatively easy to deal with.

After a while, looking at the scorpion's surprised gaze, Chiba smiled slightly: "It's been a long time, Scorpion." ”

Looking at Chiba silently, the scorpion did not speak, constantly guessing Chiba's intention.

He didn't believe that Chiba would meet him here by chance.

To be honest, his impression of Chiba was quite good, although they had only been playing together for one day at the time, but for Scorpion, this was already a rare easy memory and shining point in this life.

After all, his life was too dark and lonely, and even just a day of getting along made Chiba and his relationship rank at the top of all the people he knew.

It's just, presumably, that it just feels good, and it's unrealistic to expect any idea of this trivial feeling to shake the scorpion.

"Meaning. ”

After thinking for a moment, the scorpion simply and directly asked the purpose of Chiba's visit.

Chiba didn't answer the scorpion's question directly, but mentioned another thing pointedly: "You did the recent uproar about the destruction of the country, Scorpion." ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Chiba's words fell, he clearly sensed a strong killing intent.

Although the scorpion is not afraid of trouble, it does not mean that he likes trouble, and no one wants to face endless pursuits, not to mention that there are still some people in Sha Ren who he does not want to face for the time being.

Yes, the scorpion, who thought that Chiba was trying to threaten him with this matter, immediately released his hostility.

"Hehe, don't worry, I don't plan to make a fuss about this matter. ”

Smiling lightly, Chiba said casually, "I'm just saying that I can probably guess some of the problems you're facing now." ”

"There is no doubt that making a puppet requires money and materials, especially the more high-end the puppet, the higher the demand for materials, and according to what I know about you, you probably don't have enough funds right now, so I think we can learn to work together. ”

"Cooperation?" Scorpion was slightly stunned: "What cooperation?"

"Recently, I set up a new ninja village, it is a time when there is an urgent shortage of manpower and combat power, I hope to get you to join, you can rest assured, I don't need you to do anything troublesome, I probably won't bother you much in normal times, you can carry out your own research and development with peace of mind, you just need to fight for me when necessary. ”

"As for the treatment, most of the resources of the Ninja Village can be used by you, I think you have also experienced the distress of lack of resources recently, even if you can get a lot of things by destroying a country, but how long can it last, after all, many materials have been purchased at a high price after many changes, and the time required is even more incalculable, and some may even require you to spend a lot of time to mine yourself. ”

"Besides, this kind of thing is impossible to destroy the country, if you really do too much and be discovered, you will undoubtedly become a public enemy of the ninja world, and you will not be able to move an inch at that time. But once you join the village, no matter what materials you need, you can directly send a task to find or buy them, which undoubtedly saves a lot of time, and I believe that you are also a person who hates wasting time. ”

After listening to Chiba's words, the scorpion did not answer immediately, but kept thinking about something.

After being silent for a long time, the scorpion suddenly nodded: "It sounds like the conditions are not bad." ”

Hearing this, Chiba's face couldn't help but show a hint of joy, success seemed to be easier than he imagined?

"Then you're welcome to join, Scorpion, as I said earlier, I had a hunch that we would become friends when we met again. ”

As he spoke, Chiba stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face.

But the scorpion didn't answer.

"Friend..."

Hearing this word, the corners of the scorpion's mouth rarely flashed with an inexplicable smile.

"Don't be too happy, I haven't promised you yet. ”

"Huh?"

"Huh. The scorpion smiled disdainfully: "I don't like to make friends with people who are weaker than me, because they are too easy to die." ”

As he spoke, with a faint frictional sound, the scorpion stood up slightly and looked at Chiba indifferently:

"Let's fight, if you win me, I'll go with you, if you can't win, then become my puppet. ”

Hearing this, Chiba couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, sure enough, things were not as simple as he thought, for an arrogant guy like a scorpion, I'm afraid that relying on interests alone would not be enough to convince him to join.

The premise of cooperating under the interests is that he is strong enough, otherwise the scorpion will probably be more inclined to kill him and plunder the resources.

"Good. ”

With almost no hesitation, Chiba nodded directly and agreed to the scorpion's proposal.

Although the strength of the scorpion is probably very strong, his own strength is no longer what it used to be.
