Chapter 64: We Are Family
It's true......
Although Scorpion's grandmother is an elder of Sand Hidden Village, she assassinated three generations of Kazekage herself, and even the elder has no reason to protect her.
If you bring her back to Konoha and refuse to hand her over to Shayin Village, I'm afraid there will be another diplomatic dispute. What's more, I don't even want to pay Konoha much. Because if she is handed over to Konoha, she will most likely be sent to the interrogation department, and she will die for a lifetime, so why should I let her go here?
After thinking about it, I said, "I can be your protector." β
The scorpion was stunned for a moment.
The so-called protector is an ancient tradition in the Warring States period, in which the defeated swear allegiance to the victor and sacrifice everything he has, and if the victor accepts and becomes the protector of the other party, he must accept the loyalty and life of the other party while bearing everything from the other party, including all the sins.
No matter how much he doesn't cut and white, it's a bit similar to this kind of monarch-like follower relationship.
It was only after the establishment of the system of one country and one village that this ancient tradition had long since died out on the surface - because all ninjas were theoretically loyal to the ninja village.
However, in the dark world, there are many weak people among the rebels who cling to the strong in order to survive, and they still maintain such a system, so the scorpion is no stranger.
But she has always been someone else's protector-
"You can do more than kill you." I want to kill you, and then the black will be recovered again, and then there will be nothing to do and the dirt will come out again, won't I find trouble for myself?
By the way, speaking of which, you have to remember to cremate the body of the ghost shark for a while.
As I thought so, the scorpion asked, "What is your technique?" β
Technique?
I took a moment to realize that she was talking about what kind of spells my followers would be subjected toβjust as Orochimaru would cast a spell on his subordinates, and Scorpion would cast a submerged sand spell on his subordinates, a ritual that proclaimed the meaning of "this man is my possession" while also establishing strong enough control.
But I'm Uchiha Itachi now...... Uchiha Itachi doesn't have a ninjutsu, so I can't just slap a crow into someone's mouth, right?
Well......? Wait, Raven's Words......
"My technique is called the Other." I said, "This is the strongest illusion the Uchiha clan has known so far." It can modify a person's will without the other person being able to detect it. β
Hearing this, the scorpion frowned.
This kind of technique sounds very evil - after all, no one wants their will to be tampered with, her latent brain sand manipulation technique is just to temporarily seal the memories of her subordinates, this directly corrects the will, if it is really cast, she will not even have the idea of lifting, and basically she will not be able to turn over for the rest of her life.
I can understand what she's thinking, and I understand what she's afraid of, but that doesn't mean I can still talk to her.
I kindly reminded, "You didn't have a bargain with me." Scorpion. β
"But I still have the option to dieβthere are some techniques that I will never accept." The scorpion said coldly: "What will you implant in me?" Loyal to you? Protecting you? Unconditional obedience to you? First of all, my body is basically a puppet, and if you think my looks can be used to warm the bed, you're going to disappoint you - my body temperature is not enough to warm the bed. β
β¦β¦ This guy doesn't know what he has experienced in the renegade world since he betrayed Sand Hidden Village, and this kind of thing seems to be commonplace.
However, thinking about her appearance, if she is not hidden in an ugly and weird puppet, then it seems that it is not strange to be targeted.
She must have met a lot of ninjas who coveted her beauty.
"'We are family.'" I interrupted her, "How about this?" β
The scorpion was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face became very strange for a moment, "...... I'm not going to be loyal to my family. β
"I know."
"I'm not going to protect my family, and I'm not going to fight for them. You implanted this thought, but there is no way to guarantee my loyalty! β
"Your grandmother is the elder of Shayin Village, Granny Chiyo, right?"
"Huh. So what? She probably thought I was dead a long time ago, so you probably didn't want to blackmail her with me, right? Then I advise you not to waste your efforts. β
"Nothing. That's enough. β
It's true that you won't fight to protect your family, but you're willing to give up your life for your family.
Maybe the relationship between the scorpion in this world and Chiyo's mother-in-law is not good, maybe she is not willing to be like the male version of herself, willing to give up her life and let her grandmother live. If that's the case, then I'm out of luck.
But if I can catch her once with Susanoo, I can just hammer her to death the next time.
I placed the scorpion on the ground and relieved Susanoh, and she was free, but wisely unprepared to run away.
Hinata Hinata and Maitkai blocked her whereabouts one by one, not to mention that at the moment her chakra consumption was too large, and all the puppets were shattered - if you escape, you will definitely die, stay, and maybe there is a glimmer of life.
I changed from Susanoh Uchiha Itachi to Akatsuki Uchiha Itachi and summoned a crow.
The crow with the water-stopping chakra fell obediently on my shoulder, and watched with me at the scorpion's twinkling brown eyes.
Her expression was very strange, as if she was a little frightened, and a little inexplicable...... Something else.
Family......
Family?
- Don't be a god!
β¦β¦
The way back was much smoother than when I came. It's just that Hinata Hinata and Maitkai are basically injured, and I don't worry about letting Uchiha Kite take two captives alone - not that I'm afraid that she won't be able to do it, but I'm afraid that she will be overdrawn, don't do something at that time, and Konoha will be sent directly to the intensive care unit as soon as she returns.
So although I really wanted to lift the summons directly and return to Konoha in an instant, I still had to stay and accompany them through the whole journey.
The most surprising thing for me was that because the dried persimmon ghost shark died, it ...... We seized a shark muscle.
β¦β¦ I always feel that it will not only cause a diplomatic dispute with Sand Hidden Village, but also a diplomatic dispute with Fog Hidden Village.
Forget it, leave it to the three generations for a headache.
The dried persimmon ghost shark died in the hands of Maitkai, this knife has nothing to do with me after all, it should be regarded as Maitkai's trophy, see what he does.
It stands to reason that he can also keep it for himself...... But the phase is too inappropriate.,It's likely to turn in Konoha .γ
At this moment, I watched him tie up his shark muscles with bandages and carry them behind his back, ready to bring back Konoha ......
What a sense of disobedience!!
"This is one of the seven knives used by the Seven Ninja Blades of the Fog Hidden Village." I took the initiative to approach him and said, "You can suck the enemy's chakra and provide it to the master, so the ghost shark is called a tailless beast." Mr. Kay ...... It's really amazing. β
"Ahh As if he didn't expect Uchiha Itachi to look cold and indifferent, he would actually take the initiative to talk to him, Maitkai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said with great interest, "Oh! "Yes.
"However, the shark muscle is a living ninja and will take the initiative to attack people you don't like...... It was carried by Mr. Kai so quietly, probably because it recognized Mr. Kai's strength. β
"Really? Hahaha, that's pretty good! β
"Mr. Kai is going to hand it over to Konoha?"
"Well, actually......" Maitkai thought for a moment and showed a smile that was as energetic as ever, "I was thinking just now that this knife might be able to be used by my disciple!" β
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment this time. "Mr. Kay's ...... Disciple? β
Wait, Ning Ning definitely doesn't know how to use a knife, and Xiao Li also specializes in physical arts, so ...... is the remaining one?
No, it won't......
