Chapter 28: The Scorpion and the Spy

"Then it's settled."

After completing the agreement with Shouzuru, Ryuuji left with a full chakra reservoir and scroll.

He came to the prison, outside the cell of the scorpion.

The scorpion sat under the wall, his left hand on the knee of his bent left leg, and looked at the visitor coldly, "Done?" ”

"Well, that's it."

Ryuuji nodded, took out a scroll, and turned to the guards on the side, "This is the expulsion order approved by the three generations of Kazekage, the Red Sand Scorpion has been expelled from the sand hidden, let the people out!" ”

The guard took the scroll, looked at it with a suspicious expression, and after confirming that the expulsion order was genuine, opened the cell door.

"Come out!"

The scorpion snorted, got up and walked over, put his hands in front of the guard, and motioned for him to unshackle.

"Give me the key, and I'll release it later."

"That's up to you."

After taking the key from the guard, Ryuuji pulled the scorpion's shackles and walked out.

It was early in the morning, the sun had just risen, and only a few pedestrians could be seen on the streets.

However, without exception, everyone who saw the scorpion showed a look of disgust.

There are also children throwing rocks and the like in front of them.

This war was all started because of the scorpion, and if he hadn't assassinated three generations of Kazekage, there would be no current situation.

Although the battle was a complete victory, nearly a thousand people died, both ninjas and civilians.

And property damage...... The ruins of the collapsed buildings on the street have not yet been cleaned up!

Ignoring the invective and vicious language around him, the scorpion indifferently followed Ryuuji towards the village gate.

After a while, the two came to the gate.

After Ryuuji took out the pass, he left the Sand Hidden Village with the scorpion without any accidents.

Outside, in the desert, there were two people who had been waiting for a long time.

Chiyo, Ebizo.

Ryuuji stopped and said to the scorpion on the side: "Go and say goodbye to them, this time apart, you don't know if you can see each other." ”

"I've said everything in prison, there's nothing more to say."

The scorpion stood still and didn't move, but Chiyo and Ebizo took the initiative to come over.

They looked at this rebellious teenager with heartache, and they couldn't help but choke out tears from the corners of their eyes.

"Scorpion, this time Ryuuji will help you save your life, don't make mistakes again and again in the future, grandma can tolerate you doing evil things, but you shouldn't betray the village."

"Help?" The scorpion snorted disdainfully: "If it's not him, how could I be like this?" ”

"He's fulfilling ......"

"Alright, if you want to preach, let's go!"

Looking at the scorpion that turned around and didn't look at it, Chiyo's aged body trembled slightly, as if it had become older.

Ryuuji glanced back and forth on both sides and sighed deeply, "I'll take the scorpion out of the Land of Wind first, and the puppet division troops will ask Granny Chiyo." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of all kinds of problems of the puppet division troops, and you can take care of the scorpions more on the way."

"I will, no matter what, we're friends."

"Then please."

……

After saying goodbye to Chiyo and Ebizo, Ryuuji continued to lead the scorpion on his way.

On the way, Ryuuji asked, "I remember that you were quite close to Chiyo's mother-in-law when you were a child, why did you get cold when you grew up?" Rebellious period? ”

The scorpion did not reply, and walked in front silently.

"Hey, what about you!"

"Are you an eighth woman?"

I don't know if it was because of the sore spot of the scorpion, or because of his impatient personality, after Ryuuji questioned him further, the scorpion turned around and glared at him angrily.

Ryuuji shrugged his shoulders and didn't continue to ask.

The scorpion also turned back and hurried away.

However, after not taking a few steps, he said, "Maybe I'm too childish!" ”

"Huh?"

Ryuuji blinked, and hurriedly ran forward to ask, "What did you mean by what you said just now?" ”

The scorpion glanced at him and took a deep breath: "My parents have died in the war since I was a child, and when I see other people's children accompanied by their parents, but I don't, I feel lonely and lonely.

Only when you are with the old woman can you dilute a little bit of this feeling. ”

As he spoke, the scorpion changed his words and asked, "Your parents died in that war, just like my parents, don't you feel this way?" ”

“…… Perhaps! Ryuuji recalled, "However, I have always focused on studying, and every day I either read books, or fiddle with puppet parts, or refine chakras or exercise, and I don't have time to experience these things." ”

"Cut, ruthless fellow."

"Speaking of ruthlessness, it's not as good as you, you actually assassinated your own shadow."

"He deserves it!" The scorpion said indignantly: "He is the same as the old woman, I regard the old woman as the closest person, but she has been lying to me." ”

"She's worried that you're still young and ...... heart"

"That's just an excuse for distrust."

Looking at the angry boy, Ryuuji was silent.

Although this is a one-sided opinion, it is not wrong.

Parental love does not mean that it is good, and sometimes it can cause harm to children.

If you want to educate the next generation well, you must always pay attention to your child's growth and understand his heart.

It was clear that Chiyo did not know what was going on in the heart of the scorpion at that time.

Of course, Chiyo was not wrong, she just didn't do her best.

Therefore, the scorpion is angry, but he will not blame her.

After a moment of silence, Ryuuji continued to stir up the topic, "So what did the three generations of Kazekage deceive you?" ”

"He said he would lead the village to defeat Konoha and avenge the deaths of those who died in the last battle."

Is it this old-fashioned hatred?

Ryuuji sighed in his heart, and said helplessly: "But the current Sha Yin is not Konoha's opponent, right, you all have to let him take everyone to death?" ”

"Of course I didn't think so, but if he can't fulfill the oath he once made, he will have to pay the price."

Speaking of this, the scorpion looked at it with a playful look, "The current three generations of Kazekage are puppets made by you, just like that silver." ”

"It's not like silver at all, but it's really my puppet."

"Tsk, I didn't expect the village to fall into your hands."

"What's wrong? Not convinced? ”

"No, if you had taken the village earlier, I wouldn't have done such a thing."

"You mean you're willing to do things for me?"

"It's the same for everyone, I just hate the way that guy boasted about Haikou when he was the wind shadow, but he couldn't do it."

"That's it!"

Ryuuji stopped.

The scorpion also stopped, looking puzzled.

"I don't care if what you said is true or not, but you should know very well about my previous dealings with you!"

"You save me, I'll do you something."

On the night she was captured, Chiyo told Scorpion in the dungeon.

He can be spared, but he must be expelled.

He guessed at that time that Long Er wanted him to do something.

"In the future, an organization called 'Xiao' will come to you to join, and I need you to spy on me." Ryuuji said as he unwrapped the scorpion's shackles and took out the scrolls of the three generations of Kazekage puppets, "You don't have to wonder why I know what the future holds, and don't take the initiative to look for them, if they don't come to you, you should ignore me." ”
