Chapter Fifty-Eight: Forcing the Scorpion
Kazein Village, since Chiyo's mother-in-law returned from the border of the land country, she has been thinking repeatedly about the gains and losses of this revenge for the three generations of Kazekage.
Uehara's ninjutsu that interrupted the river with one blow caused too much shock to Chiyo's mother-in-law, what if that little ghost didn't hit the river but hit the place where the sand ninja was concentrated? The consequences are unimaginable.
It's a very amazing thing, the sand ninja dispatched thousands of ninjas, but they failed to achieve any results, and of course, there were no casualties.
Granny Chiyo didn't want to think about it, but it was clear that the Uehara imp was restraining herself to avoid another conflict with Kazegakure.
What a strange little ghost, Chiyo couldn't help but shake her head, she felt a headache.
After Granny Chiyo looked at the work log next to the table, she dragged her tired body to her feet and looked out at the desert beyond Fengyin Village.
"It's Scorpion's birthday."
—
The Red Sand Scorpion received a strange order a few days ago, and the strange thing was not that this order came from outside the Wind Country, because the Scorpion had already received orders from other countries.
However, the order to make the puppet arm came from the land of the earth. What's even more strange is that the puppet arm is the left arm, and it comes with a detailed design drawing, all the parameters are listed one by one, these familiar parameters evoke a past that the scorpion does not want to recall.
If you hadn't killed the three generations of Kazekage, that guy from Uehara would have been a good friend, right? The scorpion stared at the blueprint, not knowing what he was thinking, and his expression was gloomy.
Eventually, after some complicated psychological changes, Scorpion made up his mind, and his eyes finally became firm.
"I'm sorry." The scorpion whispered, a voice so small that only he could hear.
"Scorpion."
Granny Chiyo suddenly opened the door, and the scorpion hurriedly hid a small potion bottle in his sleeve as if he were a thief, and then he pretended to be serious and studied the design.
Granny Chiyo slowly walked behind the scorpion, and she glanced at it to understand what was being designed, "What a complicated puppet arm, Scorpion." ”
"Hmm." The scorpion replied expressionlessly.
"Scorpion, it's your birthday again." Granny Chiyo lovingly stroked the scorpion's head, "Have you decided which friends you want to invite?" ”
"Puppet class," Scorpion replied at once, "and bugs." ”
"Well, I'll take care of the rest." Granny Chiyo smiled and said, "If that doesn't happen, in fact, Scorpion, you can invite your friends from Iwakuin Village to come and ...... with you."
"But that guy killed Uncle Kazekage." The scorpion raised his head, his eyes were as calm as water, and his voice was cold.
"Scorpion, the affairs of the village have nothing to do with you, understand?"
The scorpion didn't even respond.
Chiyo left with only a sigh.
Chiyo saw it very clearly, and he knew how important that Iwa Shinobi boy was to the Scorpion. When the news of Uehara's confirmed death came, the scorpion's entire personality became much more gloomy.
When he received that Uehara was captured by a big monster and devoured into the box of bliss, the scorpion began to design a giant puppet as big as the monster without saying a word, and the role of the puppet is self-evident.
Scorpion has received a lot of orders for forbearance and earns a lot of money. Three years later, the undesigned giant puppet was buried in the yellow sand outside Shayin Village, and became a piece of broken copper and iron.
Uehara came back to life, and naturally he no longer needed the scorpion to be a giant puppet that could defeat monsters. What is buried in the yellow sand is not just an unfinished puppet.
A month later, the puppet arm made by the scorpion, which is a work of art, was sent to Rock Hidden Village.
"Hmm." There is a small button on the box with the puppet arm, and Uehara pressed it, and the box turned out to be very sci-fi and opened automatically, and there were two small mechanical arms to send the prosthetic limb out.
The prosthetic leg has been carefully camouflaged so that it looks like a real person's arm, which is exactly what Uehara needs.
Uehara was about to get it, "Stop! ”
"You'd better not touch it." The dark department in charge of monitoring Uehara stopped Uehara's movements, "We checked, there is a strong poison on the puppet arm. ”
"Huh?" Uehara was stunned, "Are you not mistaken?" ”
The dark part didn't want to answer Uehara's question, and a stealth operation disappeared.
(Dog's Day...... I want to kill Lao Tzu...... Uehara scolded angrily in his heart.
Uehara can be sure that he must be the heaviest target on the wanted list of Sand Hidden Village. Therefore, on the order for the puppet arm he commissioned the scorpion to make, no personal information was left. As a result, the order was successfully delivered.
Except for the scorpion, no one can tell from the string of parameters that it was Uehara who placed the order.
—
The poison of the sand is well-known in the ninja world, and on the puppet arm made for Uehara, the scorpion hides the deadliest poison in it. Three seconds of contact with the skin is enough to poison an adult.
Uehara killed three generations of Kazekage, he is a sand ninja, and there is enough reason to kill Uehara, and Scorpion thought that he would do it very calmly.
But in fact, when the puppet arm was sent, the scorpion's heart was not at peace for a moment, so that he couldn't even continue to make the puppet, and would look at a pile of scattered parts in a daze for a long time.
The scorpion was waiting, he was waiting for the news of Uehara's sudden death from Iwakuin Village.
Fidgeting and waiting, it's very worrying, day after day.
Finally, another week later, Scorpion received a letter from Yanyin Village.
The letter reads as follows-
Respectful vegetable forced scorpion. Long time no see, are you fucking okay?
There's one thing that needs to be explained.,It's the monster that killed the three generations of Kazekage.,Although the monster has the same face as Uncle Ben.,But that's not Uncle Uehara Earth-Rock I.,Please know.。
Also, according to the agreement, I have checked the puppet arm entrusted to you to make. However, according to our tests, there is a violent poison on the golem arm.
This is a breach of contract, a breach of friendship between the two ninja villages, and a testament to your poor work ethic.
I swear that if you don't give a reasonable explanation and compensate you accordingly, I will publish your misdeeds in the fourteen newspapers, and you will lose all orders outside of the village, and the puppeteers of the sand will also lose orders outside the village.
You go to the original earth and stone uncle to participate.
——
It was a letter full of insults and sarcasm, and after reading it word for word, the scorpion was relieved that fortunately, the plan to poison Uehara failed.
The scorpion's mood has never been better, and his face is full of color that he hasn't seen for a long time.
The scorpion was in high spirits and replied to Uehara with a stern wording-
Back to the esteemed idiot Uehara. The guy with the same face as Your Excellency has killed three generations of Kazekage, and your wanted warrant is still not canceled.
Your Excellency is the enemy that Sand Shinobi wants to eradicate the most, and if you want to get the puppet arm that gathers the mysteries of puppetry, you have to add money.
——
I don't know, when Uehara saw the scorpion's reply, he was angry and screamed.
I only know that Chiyo's mother-in-law saw that the scorpion sent more than a dozen letters to Iwain Village in a row, but only received one reply.
"Uehara said he was locked up in the village." Scorpion replied to Chiyo's mother-in-law.
"It's better for Yanyin Village to kill him." The scorpion gritted his teeth and cursed as he took out his treasured materials, and he wanted to make a prosthetic leg for Uehara that would represent his highest level.
