Chapter 111: The Artist's Farewell
"This old woman...... I really like to be nosy. β
After being silent for a long time, the scorpion seemed to accept the facts in front of him, and he didn't know why he suddenly became irritable and said this.
Holding his head with his right hand, he almost covered his entire face, so that people could not see his face at this time, giving people a headache.
Obviously, this situation will definitely not appear on the puppet puppet's body, but the scorpion can sense this strange emotion very clearly at this time.
It was as if sleeping in the depths of the soul, the long-ago seal was suddenly washed away.
"What if you raise me again? Still nothing can be changed. β
"Elder Chiyo just feels that he owes you a debt and didn't guide you properly when you were young, so he will compensate you at this time. But I don't think that if you hadn't finally retrieved the "human" part, Elder Chiyo wouldn't have used the Forbidden Reincarnation Technique for you, no matter how much she loved you. β
Luo Sha said.
"It's ridiculous, women like it all the time."
The scorpion scoffed.
Immediately after, he swept towards Luo Sha with a sharp look, although the weapons of his whole body were disarmed, but if the other party wanted to kill him, it would not be so easy.
"So, what's next for me? Will you imprison me in a torture cell in Shayin? β
"I have this idea, after all, you are not only the culprit who killed the three generations of Kazekage, but also defected to the terrorist organization and took away the tailed beasts of the village. To be honest, until now, I can't find any reason to forgive you. According to the rules of the village, it is not a pity for you to die a hundred times for such a traitor. β
Luo Sha replied to the scorpion in a cold and hard tone.
The scorpion killed the three generations of Kazekage, which directly led to the subsequent defeat of Sand Hide and Konoha in the Third Ninja World War, which should have been an excellent opportunity, and it was wasted in vain.
If this is not the case, Sha Yin can use the Third Ninja World War to further strengthen himself and realize Sha Yin's rise plan.
At the same time, in the later war of the Land of Winds, Sha Yin will not lose too much of his top combat power, and he will pay compensation for the land of the country of ghosts, and he will be oppressed.
And the root of all this comes from the betrayal of the scorpion. At this point, it is impossible for any ninja who loves Sand Hide to forgive the scorpion for what he did.
The damage that the scorpion alone has to Sha Yin is too great.
Not to mention, now it is still a terrorist organization and has taken away one of the tails of Shayin.
He had done his best now just to curb the killing intent against the scorpion.
"Really?"
"This is for the sake of Elder Chiyo's face. What you have done in the past is tarnishing the reputation of Elder Chiyo. If it weren't for Elder Chiyo who has been pressing you in the village and fixing the relationship between all parties, the past years would not have just hunted you down and killed you painlessly. β
Luo Sha said.
Before he knew that the scorpion was the culprit who killed the three generations of Kazekage, Sha Yin's pursuit of the scorpion had always been very ambiguous.
Especially in the early days, when Chiyo was still in charge of the high-level institutions of Sand Hidden Village, many high-level officials were afraid of Chiyo's authority and did not discuss this matter much, and they could only turn a blind eye to such a dangerous rebellion as the scorpion.
Later, after the end of the Third Ninja War, some people used this incident to attack Chiyo and force the other party to step down. Although Chiyo successfully blocked it at that time, she also suffered a heavy blow to her reputation, resulting in the follow-up having to turn to a behind-the-scenes operation.
All this happening is inextricably linked to the scorpion.
Because the scorpion should have been regarded by Chiyo as the inheritor of the will of the sand and the best candidate for the fourth generation of Kazekage!
Even the three generations of Kazekage who were in power in the past had a more agreeable attitude in this matter, believing that the scorpion could take over the position of Kazekage after him and lead Shayin to strength.
"Doesn't it seem a little late to say these things now?"
The scorpion smiled coldly.
Luo Sha shook his head, stared at the scorpion's face, which was no different from the past, and said, "As a wind shadow, I shouldn't have let a traitor like you leave, but Elder Chiyo has made a huge contribution to the village, and I can't bear to let Elder Chiyo end up here...... So, there you go. β
"You're really (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 111: The Artist's Farewell
Will you let me go? β
The scorpion glanced at Luo Sha in surprise and confirmed it again and again. He met Luo Sha when he was young, and he knew Luo Sha's personality very well, and the other party would not be so emotional in terms of experience.
And with the atmosphere of the Sand Hidden Village at that time, if you want to overwhelm the opponent and become the position of the Wind Shadow, if you are always emotional, even if you have Chiyo behind you, you will not be able to sit on the throne of the Wind Shadow. Because of the ambush of spies in the village, he generally knew that when Luo Sha took the position of Wind Shadow, there were some changes in the situation within the Sand Hidden Village.
The ruling elders at that time either retired or were cleansed and became the hall of Luo Sha.
Especially when he learned that the other party wanted to cultivate the tailed beast weapon of the sand hide, he sent ninjas to deliberately "assassinate" his son Iira in his early years to stimulate his growth......
It shows the cold-blooded and cruel nature of the other party.
"Just once."
Luo Sha said in an awkward tone.
"You have become weak and merciful, Rasha. In the past, as long as you were an enemy, whether external or internal, you can use and eliminate without mercy. β
The scorpion paused and said this.
"Perhaps, but people will change after something. In short, you'd better not appear in my field of vision in the future. Otherwise, even if you have the relationship of Elder Chiyo, I will no longer tolerate your betrayal and kill you. β
Rosa sighed, then stopped looking at the scorpion and turned to leave the tent.
The placer gold that was lying in ambush underground also withdrew invisibly. With Luo Sha's departure, silence returned to the space, leaving the scorpion alone, quietly looking at the corpse kneeling on the ground, silent for a long time.
"This time you are too aggressive, although it is a good thing to have the courage to save people, but if you don't save people, it is not cost-effective to put yourself in it."
In the team of Konoha ninjas who rushed back to Konoha Village, Shikamaru and Naruto hung at the back of the team.
After learning what had happened to the whole thing, Shikamaru frowned slightly at Naruto and the others' risky behavior, thinking that Naruto and the others' offensive methods were too aggressive. And without waiting for the antidote to arrive, he directly fought a ninja of the level of the scorpion, and if a wound was cut slightly, things would become very troublesome. "It can't be helped, who called the situation very critical? And, isn't it all right in the end? β
Naruto said.
"That's just that you're lucky enough and have people from the land of ghosts, which has attracted a lot of attention from the enemy. Otherwise, with your situation at the time, I am afraid it will be very dangerous. β
Shikamaru shook his head, not very much of Naruto's perfunctory statement.
If it weren't for the unexpected intervention of the Oni Country, coupled with Naruto's own strength, which exceeded the enemy's expectations, and caught the enemy by surprise, maybe the whole army would be wiped out.
At that time, not only the one-tailed, but even the nine-tailed may be taken away by the enemy.
"Speaking of the country of ghosts...... I seem to have forgotten something important. β
Naruto began to ponder, as if he had suddenly forgotten something, and his face became sad.
"Ahh I remember! β
Naruto's scream made Shikamaru sweat profusely, and he asked helplessly, "Don't you guy always be surprised, what's wrong?" β
"I asked those guys in the country of ghosts about Sakura! Damn, I'll just say why when I came back, I always felt that something wasn't quite right in my heart! β
Naruto looked like he wanted to cry without tears, and it seemed that he was angry with himself.
"What to do, Shikamaru?"
He looked at Shikamaru with a pleading gaze.
"What's the use of you asking me about this? They have already gone back. β
Shikamaru replied speechlessly.
"Is it too late to catch up now?"
"Did you think it was too late? More than a day has passed, and if you catch up now, you will definitely not be able to catch up. And without official documents, foreign ninjas are not allowed to enter the country of demons at will. If they are discovered, they will be arrested and imprisoned as intruders. β
Shikamaru explained the stakes. It's definitely too late to go back and catch up now.
The country of demons has extremely strict border protection, and it is impossible for ninjas to walk within their borders without the permission of the paperwork, and they can almost use it (this chapter is not finished!). )
Chapter 111: The Artist's Farewell
It's hard to describe it.
Coupled with Naruto's identity, once Naruto really does that, it will not be a simple imprisonment, but an escalation into a diplomatic incident between countries with greater contradictions, which is likely to detonate a new round of war between the country of ghosts and Konoha.
"There will be more opportunities to deal with them in the future. Moreover, didn't you get information about Orochimaru from the scorpion? Now compared to Sakura, let's pay more attention to Sasuke's affairs. β
Shikamaru shifts the subject.
"That's right, Sasuke! Scorpion said that in four months, Orochimaru would take Sasuke's body away! β
Naruto also suddenly remembered this.
"Shikamaru, when you go back, let Tsunade's mother-in-law immediately give an order to arrest Orochimaru."
"That's also Konoha Sannin, not a dangerous criminal who can be arrested if he can be arrested. Moreover, we must not be in a hurry before the other party acts, otherwise it is easy to surprise the snake and miss the opportunity. β
Shikamaru glanced at Naruto in his anxiety and replied. "That is, will it take four months to act?" Naruto reacted.
"Yes, the time may need to be advanced, in short, it is impossible to capture the Great Snake Pill now."
Shikamaru nodded.
But there are many difficulties.
For one, they had no way of confirming the accuracy of the information provided by the scorpion, which may have been a trap designed for Konoha purposes.
Second, if the information given by the scorpion is true, then this operation will not only arrest Orochimaru as Naruto said.
Instead, taking advantage of the conflict between Orochimaru and Sasuke, he was arrested together with Sasuke, and even directly executed the two on the spot and brought back the corpses.
Because the threat that Konoha is facing now is not only Orochimaru, but also Sasuke, who wants to take revenge on the higher-ups, is also an extremely unstable bomb for Konoha.
Third, if this is a trap, to prepare for a full-scale conflict with that organization, Konoha must also send a strong enough ninja to it. And among the ninjas who go, it's best to exclude Naruto.
Although Naruto is powerful and a huge boost, there are uncontrollable risks.
First, he couldn't really do anything to Sasuke; Second, if it is a trap, there is a risk that the Nine-Tails will be snatched by the enemy.
These two important factors caused Naruto to be easily disturbed by factors other than the battle in his actions, resulting in a direct failure of the mission.
Based on the above complex reasons, Shikamaru believes that it is best to exclude Naruto from the operation of chasing Orochimaru four months later, gather the strength of Naruto and send Shinobi other than Naruto, and form a special operation team to attack and arrest Orochimaru and Sasuke.
Sand Hide, cemetery.
In the yellow sand, a figure stood alone in front of the tomb, looking at the tombstone fixedly, as if caught in some kind of memory, stunned.
After a long time, his face changed, and the sound of small footsteps came from behind him, which was not hidden.
An old man walked over and came to the scorpion's side, and like the scorpion, quietly looked at the tombstone in front of him, a trace of sadness appeared on his old face.
"You've been standing here for hours, do you remember the past?"
Ebizo's old and trembling voice sounded, giving people the feeling that he had stepped into the coffin with half a foot in it, and his qi was insufficient. It may also be that seeing the death of his own sister who has been dependent on him for many years has led to excessive grief and physical trauma.
"Am I doing something wrong?"
The scorpion stared blankly at the tombstone in front of him.
He couldn't understand why he had been resurrected by Chiyo. I don't understand the meaning of my existence.
The 'eternity' that was incomparably firm in the past has long since been terminated at the time of 'death'.
"There is no regret in life, just as time does not flow backwards, and once it flows, it does not stop. The most regrettable thing for my sister is that when you were young, you didn't notice the real loneliness in your heart, so that you finally chose to leave Shayin and escape from paralyzing yourself in the box of 'eternity'. β
Ebizo's words made the scorpion's expression seem even more silent.
His so-called 'eternity' is nothing more than loneliness. That way, he doesn't have to wait for others, and he doesn't have to let anyone wait for him.
In the end, he was left alone alone.
(This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 111: The Artist's Farewell
"I've long forgotten that kind of thing. Even the appearance of my parents, I still have a hard time recalling. I only remember that after they left that night, the figure that ran towards the battlefield never returned. β
The scorpion lowered its head, unable to describe its state of mind in words.
Emotion...... This kind of thing, he thought he had already given up......
Why......
Why recall such a thing?
I already have blood on my hands, and the so-called human feelings should have been wiped out a long time ago, right?
"Where are you going next?" Ebizo asked.
The scorpion shook its head like a child.
"I don't know."
Ebizo didn't ask any more, took out a scroll from his arms, and said, "This is the scroll made by the Ten Men of Konmatsu, and those puppets of yours have all been destroyed, so use this to defend yourself." In this troubled world, you always need strength to protect yourself. In addition, if you really can't find a purpose in life, then replace your sister and continue to carry forward the profession of puppeteer. The puppeteer in the village is still using the puppet you made twenty years ago. β
vaguely proposed that Sha Yin's puppeteer profession at this time has shown signs of decline.
If this trend continues, there will be fewer and fewer ninjas who will inherit the puppeteer.
Scorpion Muran took the scroll, and there was a feeling of heaviness. Ebizo nodded and turned to leave.
The back is depressed and lonely, and the desolation of the sun is showing in him.
The old ones will pass away one by one, and then new life will be born.
"I thought you were dead, Scorpion."
Standing in the rain in the tower, Nagato receives a scorpion who has died in the mission.
The sound of rain was pouring outside, and the smell of the yin tide made the heating inside the tower seem to be a little chilly.
"Nagato."
Instead of calling each other leader, the scorpion addresses each other by their first names. Nagato's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the scorpion fixedly.
The loss of the reincarnation eye of seven emotions and six desires makes the surrounding air look extremely dignified.
Ignoring the pressure, the scorpion took off the ring with the word "jade" on his hand and walked over to Nagato and handed it out.
"I've met my target, and I'm going to get out of the dawn."
The scorpion said calmly.
Four years ago, he and Deidara snatched Futao from the Oni Country in the country of waves. The other day, he and Deidara had once again succeeded in capturing a tailed beast for the Order.
There are two tailed beasts in total, and his mission is complete.
Although he thought so, Nagato's brow furrowed slightly.
Generally speaking, this behavior of the scorpion is tantamount to betraying the organization. "Can you tell me why you left the organization?"
The momentum on Nagato's body dissipated, and in the tone of a friend, he eased the atmosphere and asked the scorpion.
"I'm tired."
The scorpion replied only with one sentence.
The eyes without emotion are matched with the eyes of reincarnation. Nagato was slightly silent.
After a long time, he opened his mouth slightly: "Since this is the case, then you can leave, and in the future, don't appear in my field of vision again." β
From the scorpion's hand, he took the ring codenamed 'Jade Girl'. The scorpion nodded, received the answer, and turned away, walking towards the tower's outer platform, losing its figure in the rain.
"Lord Nagato, the scorpion knows so many things, and even learned yin and yang from you...... For this kind of traitor, I feel that he should be eliminated immediately. β
Hakujue emerged from the ground and suggested to Nagato.
"Well, since he has found another way, we should bless it. After all, there is no need to kill them all. Moreover, I believe that the scorpion will be tight-lipped about the affairs of the organization and will not go around talking nonsense. β
"Yes."
Bai Jue nodded helplessly.
Nagato glanced in the direction the scorpion was leaving, then turned and walked into the shadows, disappearing.
"Big Scorpion!"
Deidara's voice came from behind.
At this time, the scorpion, which had already taken off its red cloud coat on a black background and was wearing only a black raincoat, turned back in the rain (this chapter is not finished!). )
Chapter 111: The Artist's Farewell
γ
On the back of the white bird, Deidara jumped down.
His face was pale, he was panting as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and the rain soaked his clothes and hair.
Outside Yuyin Village, the figures of the two looked at each other like this.
"Deidara, you're not dead yet."
This is the first sentence of the scorpion.
"Brother Scorpion, you are, but I heard that you died at the hands of the Konoha Nine-Tails Zhu Li and the old woman Sha Yin, I was thinking about healing my injuries, so I killed Sha Yin and brought your body back. Well. β
Deidara continued to gasp and said.
"What a fool, your intelligence has been leaked. Breaking into the sand, there is only one dead end. β
"That can't let Big Scorpion's corpse be desecrated. However, the news of your death, Brother Scorpion, is really fake, Bai Jue, that bastard, the intelligence work is really getting worse and worse. It seems that he will have to blow up a few more after he goes back to make him remember it for a long time. Well. Deidara was upset.
This mission, he didn't go well.
All the ninjas he encountered were aimed at his weak points.
Especially the Thunder Escape female ninja in Konoha is like his nemesis, causing all the bombs he released to turn into duds, which makes him depressed.
Therefore, with the help of the 'self-detonation' trick, he successfully escaped and immediately killed several Bai Jue venting fire.
"I did die, but I was resurrected by that old woman Chiyo in one more move."
The scorpion snorted coldly.
"Uh...... Yes, is that so? β
Deidara froze for a moment. Killed and resurrected...... The relationship is too messy.
However, Deidara didn't dwell on this matter, but asked, "Speaking of which, the leader I just said that Big Brother Scorpion is going to break away from the organization...... Why is that? Why are you leaving the organization? Did someone you off? β
"No, it's my own problem. I just felt that this organization was no longer for me, so I wanted to leave. β
The scorpion replied.
"So what should I do?"
"Nagato should have a new teammate for you after that." Scorpion said.
"But only Big Scorpion and I are a perfect match."
"Don't always be a child, I won't come back. Also, remember not to reveal anything about me alive to anyone. β
After the scorpion explained this, he turned around and pulled his raincoat, ready to leave.
"In other words, Brother Scorpion, are you planning to retire?" Deidara, who didn't understand, asked this sentence.
The scorpion sneered, retreating? How could it be so simple. His identity is not visible.
There is no such thing as a true retreat for a ninja, especially a renegade like him.
Even if Sha Yin didn't make arrangements, there were countless people who were killed by him and became human puppets, and their family and friends, once they got clues, would go crazy and kill him, and they would never die with him.
The moment you become a ninja, there is no such thing as retreat.
"Deidara."
"What?"
"The life of a ninja is a life of fighting. There will be nothing left but fighting. β
The sound of rain is mixed with the dull sound of scorpions.
"Sounds bleak. I became a ninja just to prove my art. Well. β
Deidara responded.
"So, you're still a little ghost who hasn't grown up."
"What, Brother Scorpion, are you underestimating me?"
Deidara glared at the scorpion's back dissatisfied, feeling that she was being underestimated by the scorpion.
His art is not such a fragile thing.
"Hehe, you'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise the next battle won't be the same as before. If you continue to hold on to this naΓ―ve idea, you will definitely die, and once you die, you will not be able to delve into art. β
"Big brother scorpion, have you also learned to be alarmist?" Deidara spread her hands helplessly.
"Maybe, anyway, don't die. Don't even think about provoking Itachi, if you practice for another ten years, you won't be his opponent. β
A flash of jealousy flashed in the scorpion's eyes (this chapter is not over!). )
Chapter 111: The Artist's Farewell
color, leaving this sentence, regardless of whether Deidara heard it or not, walked into the rain outside Yuyin Village, and slowly walked away.
"Really, Big Brother Scorpion is underestimating me again, and always doesn't recognize that my art can be better than Sharingan, that kind of thing that relies on blood, where is it strong?"
Deidara spoke complainingly.
However, he looked at the back of the scorpion as it continued to move away, and he was also slightly silent.
"Alas...... Big Brother Scorpion left this time, and I was the only artist left in the organization. β
Deidara sighed sadly.
Sure enough, artists are all lonely. Well. β
Turning, with his back to the scorpion's back, Deidara turned against it.
The rain was pouring down.
