Chapter 63: Poignant

There's more than one surprise for a birthday cake. When all the candles are burned out, the real trap is triggered.

Wow –

The blue flames suddenly erupted, making a slight popping sound as they burned the air at a rapid speed.

The entire castle-style birthday cake erupts from the inside out, and there are small flames that resemble miniature fireworks from the tower shape of the cake castle, one after another, bursting out at a fixed angle, gradually unfolding like a peacock screen, and when the bird screen is the most beautiful and complete, the fireworks explode and scatter from the ceiling into brilliant flowers.

In my previous life, I witnessed the fireworks show at Disneyland, and the gorgeous fireworks left a deep impression on Uehara in my previous life. With limited resources and time, Uehara miniaturized a Disney castle and small fireworks, and now it seems that the effect is good.

The birthday cake actually burned, and the air in the room smelled faintly fragrant.

The scorpion sniffled, "Is it alcohol?" ”

"Yes, you guessed it." Uehara didn't hesitate to extend his thumb, "Scorpion, there's another surprise in the birthday cake." ”

Another surprise, what could it be?

The scorpion looked forward to it, and then, when the alcohol had burned out, he took out the knife he used to cut the cake and cut it from the middle......

Seeing that the scorpion was about to start cutting the cake, Uehara quickly covered his face with his arm. And the little worm who was in a hurry to eat the cake saw Uehara doing this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly followed Uehara's example and covered his cheeks with both hands, leaving only a small slit between his fingers to observe the scorpion's reaction.

In the cake, Uehara pranks and hides a balloon.

Finally, when the scorpion cuts the knife, boom!

The balloon exploded, and the blown cream smeared the scorpion's face.

The atmosphere instantly reached a cheerful climax, not to mention that the worm was grabbed by the scorpion and smashed a piece of cake in the face because he pointed at the scorpion and laughed. The scorpion was also smashed by the cake.

"Uehara!" The scorpion got angry, he grabbed the knife, cut off a large piece and put it in a paper plate, and pressed it directly on Uehara's face.

It is impossible for Granny Chiyo to frolic with a few children, and when the scorpion angrily picks up the knife, Granny Chiyo is still worried, and the chakra thread in her hand is quietly ready to guard against a possible tragedy.

However, when she saw that the scorpion was just cutting the cake into small pieces with a knife and then smashing it at the boy in Iwakuin Village, Chiyo's mother-in-law laughed out loud.

The scorpion was hit on the head by the strawberries on the cake, Chiyo's mother-in-law was laughing, and the scorpion was forced by the two people of Xiaoworm and Uehara to throw the cake together in the corner and looked embarrassed, and Chiyo's mother-in-law laughed even happier.

"Scorpion, I'll help you." Uehara's guy, the thief who threw the cake, is worthy of the guy who has studied shuriken in the Wind Demon clan, and when everyone doesn't use chakra, the shuriken technique that relies on physical instinct gives Uehara an advantage. As a result, the scorpion almost 100% of the cake was taken with its face.

The appearance of the scorpion was too miserable, which made the worm sympathize with him very much. The worm on the same side as Ben and Uehara suddenly betrayed Uehara, and Uehara immediately went bad.

"Your uncle, did you smash people with apples?" was smashed on the head by an extraordinarily large apple, and Uehara scolded in pain in his heart.

Granny Chiyo just smiled and watched all this, the scorpion has really changed too much.

……

The cake was being consumed little by little, and the scorpion was angry, and he wanted to smash Uehara back with all the smashing on him. Then he was hit even more, and a vicious circle was formed.

The scorpion is still a child after all, and finally, the scorpion is anxious, he doesn't care, he wants to smash all the cakes on Uehara's head.

When the scorpion grabbed the plate containing the cake, the weight was not quite right, and the scorpion realized that the cake had been thrown away by everyone.

At this time, on the ceiling, on the chandelier, on the wall and on the ground, more of everyone's bodies were all traces of being hit by cakes.

Everyone's faces were full of cream, and with a poof, everyone laughed at the funny appearance of Pi.

"Settle down, Scorpion, Mother-in-law Chiyo has a gift for you today!"

In the scorpion's puzzled eyes, Uehara pulled the scorpion aside and sat down.

"Scorpion, I'm really sorry for the death of your parents," Chiyo's mother-in-law's eyes were full of grief, "Just like your parents wanted to protect you, it was my dereliction of duty that I didn't protect them well." ”

"I always thought you were too young to accept the fact that your parents were dead, but, Scorpion," Granny Chiyo smiled, holding a scroll in her hand, and there were faint tears in her eyes, "You're stronger than you think." ”

All the self-blame of Granny Chiyo for the scorpion was transformed into the performance of ninjutsu.

The scroll was densely packed with patterns smaller than ants, and when Chiyo's chakra was entered into the scroll, a humanoid line outlined by ink lines appeared in the room.

"Scorpion, you have to eat well today!" A feminine female ninja leans down and teases a little red-haired boy.

The human form, which is merely outlined by lines, although realistic and agile, does not have the function of sound.

But the scorpion could hear all the voices clearly, after all, this was a scene he had experienced.

"No, don't eat it!" The red-haired child angrily knocked the dishes and chopsticks to the ground, "I want to wait for Dad to come back and ...... together"

The lines of the ink turned again, and a tall male ninja appeared, and the huge puppet he was carrying behind his back had not yet been removed, and he immediately rushed over and picked up the scorpion, and then threw it high.

During the rainy season, the scorpion, which has just been able to run, always likes to go outside the village to play, because only then is the desert dotted with green.

The scorpion seemed to be very destructive, he ran, he kept falling on his heels, he giggled and had to pull out every seedling of grass.

And then, where was he?

Chiyo's mother-in-law, who maintained the technique, was equally familiar to her, and tears blurred her eyes. At that time, I should have been working on a new puppet technique. Really, there were times when scorpions were so cute, but they put all their energy into cold puppets.

The effect is comparable to the 3D imaging of the real super beast pseudo-painting technique, which continues quietly.

The scorpion grew from a very young child. Every scene is indispensable to mom and dad.

If you do something wrong, of course there will be harsh criticism, even if it's just knocking the vase over. In the picture, the young female ninja harshly criticizes the scorpion, and the small scorpion looks frightened, and he hides behind the door and refuses to come out.

At that time, it hurt so much for my mother to beat someone. The scorpion laughed, tears pouring down like a faucet turned on. In my memory, I was beaten with a bamboo board in the palm of my hand, and when I recalled it, there was no pain at all, but a very warm memory.

Uehara was holding the scorpion, and the scorpion clutched his arm tightly, and tears wet Uehara's sleeve. Uehara's brows furrowed, because the scorpion was clutching Uehara's arm tightly, and he was so hard that it hurt to catch Uehara.

The scorpion's body was trembling, and sobs began to emerge.

And the little worm stayed quietly on the side very interestingly, without disturbing the scorpion.

Really, I've almost forgotten what my uncle and aunt look like. The little worm held his chin and quietly watched the rapidly changing scenes.

"Scorpion, my mother and I are going out on a mission, be obedient."

The tall sand shinobi gently touched the scorpion's head with his broad palm, "We'll be back soon." ”

"How long will it take soon?" The scorpion, which was crying in Uehara's arm, suddenly asked with a crying voice, and he choked up, completely forgetting that what he saw in front of him was not real.

Granny Chiyo's heart throbbed, and she almost interrupted the chakra's delivery.

The ensuing scenes, a lot, are messy, and the pace is noticeably much faster.

The scorpion in the picture is gradually growing. Mom and Dad are also spending more and more time away on assignments.

It's the same every time, they always rush back, and then after a brief reunion, they leave again.

Sometimes, Mom and Dad even come back at night, cuddle the scorpion left and right to sleep, look at the cute appearance of the scorpion falling asleep, chuckle and whisper. Then, before dawn, they left again, leaving only the scorpion that woke up dimly, gently caressing the bedding that still had a faint temperature, and felt a sense of loss.

Are Mom and Dad back? But they left again.

Why don't you wake yourself up, are you afraid of waking yourself up? The young scorpion decided that it would be necessary to go to bed very late in the future.

Listening to my father, the ninja war broke out. Mom's cooking is as delicious as ever. The scorpion held a small rice bowl, only in a small corner of the dinner table, and he quietly listened to his parents discuss, and during the banquet, they were all discussing the dead companions.

The scorpion can clearly feel the pain of his parents, they are two people who see their companions as very important.

Listening to my father, the ninja war broke out.

Ninja War, so what? The scorpion doesn't understand.

It was just a small scorpion crawling on the high windowsill, and since the day his parents left, he saw the cemetery where the corpses were disposed of after the hospital was dug up and buried.

Mom and Dad always said that they would come back soon, and they said that every time, but the time interval between their coming back was getting longer and longer.

The scorpion is becoming more and more like a migratory bird waiting for something, he has not seen his parents for too long, and he is no longer satisfied with lying on the windowsill and watching.

He ran alone to the outside of the village, where there was a large rock, from which he could see far beyond the village.

Mom and Dad finally appeared in the setting sun, and the scorpion slid clumsily down from the big high rock, and he was very happy.

Mom didn't even cook delicious dishes, they just ate a bento, "This battle is very important, if you break through the Konoha defense, everything will be clear." ”

"Scorpion, I'm sorry, I don't have time to take care of you." My mother was so tired that she was almost asleep when she ate her bowto, "I can buy my own food that I like." ”

"Hmm." The scorpion put his hands on the stool in boredom and kicked his legs, "I'll take care of myself." ”

"The scorpion, we're leaving, we'll be back soon."

Farewell as usual.

"You...... Don't go! In Uehara's arms, the scorpion whimpered, and his emotions collapsed.

Uehara didn't know how to comfort him, and the worm looked scared.

"Said to be back soon, said to be back!"

"You liar! Deceitful! ”

This time, the defense line that the puppet troops of the sand hide want to break through is the Konoha White Fang.

The guy who deceived the scorpion and made the scorpion hate it.

The scorpion cried out in pain, unconsciously tearing hard at everything he could grasp.

The technique had reached the end, and Granny Chiyo's closed eyes slowly opened, her breath was very weak, and there were black ink-like tears under her eye sockets that slowly left the ninjutsu scroll.

"Scorpion, the war is over."

Mom and Dad came back with a lot of sand ninja, "After this war, probably the ninja world will be peaceful for a long time." ”

"Scorpion, have you eaten well? Well? ”

"Mom" walked straight to the scorpion, she smiled, and lightly tapped the scorpion's forehead with her fingers, it was not a stiff puppet, that kind of smile, only seen in her dreams. Also, the real touch.

Perhaps, the highest level of ninjutsu is a ninjutsu that can penetrate deep into people's hearts, for example, infinite moon reading.

Ninjutsu, without the slightest illusion effect, touched the deepest hidden emotions in the heart of the scorpion, the scorpion seemed to be immersed in the world of infinite moon reading, he smiled very happily, raised his forehead, and responded to the human form outlined by black ink, and then slowly closed his eyes, feeling the temperature of his fingertips.

The operation was successfully completed.

Granny Chiyo gasped violently, her eyes getting blurry and blurred, and then, with a pop, she fell off the stool.

……

When the scorpion slowly opened its eyes and came back to its senses, the whole room was not visible.

"Mommy......" The scorpion blurted out almost subconsciously, and then, he stopped.

The tear-stained eyes were not yet dry, and tears almost came out again.

……

Chiyo's mother-in-law is the most important person in the Sand Hidden Village, and her importance is only under the shadow of the wind.

In the emergency care stone of the Sand Hidden Village Hospital, Chiyo's mother-in-law is lying unconscious on her bed, and her signs of life can still be seen in the oxygen supply that beats from time to time with her breathing in her mouth.

The entire hospital was placed under martial law by the Sand Hidden Division.

Quietly, the scorpion came to the hospital alone.

When a little imp with a face full of dry cream appeared in the hospital, the sand shinobi in charge of vigilance was stunned, what a shoddy disguise.

"I am the Red Sand Scorpion." The scorpion coldly wiped the dirt off his face, "I'm going in, immediately." ”

Not ordinary Shadow Ninjas, the two Sand Ninja are members of the former puppet force and friends of Scorpion's parents, who recognize Scorpion and let him in.

On the hospital bed, Chiyo's mother-in-law looks terrible. The wrinkled appearance of the old man's face was already a little terrifying in some dim lighting, especially the black tears that were flowing from the corners of her eyes, and there were two black tear stains on her face, which really had the feeling of being a ghost in various horror stories.

The scorpion stayed quietly by the bedside.

Grandma is really old, the scorpion gently held grandma's hand, the feeling of the hand was very rough, and there were thin hard bones. Such a pair of hands is very fatal for a puppeteer who is known for his dexterous manipulation of puppets.

"Thank you, Grandma." The scorpion whispered. If Chiyo's mother-in-law was still conscious and heard the scorpion's thanks for the first time, she wouldn't know how happy she would be.

This birthday gift, the scorpion really likes, it seems that he has met his mother.

The scorpion should also be grateful to Uehara......

Oh, where did Uehara go? Lost?
