18 The Scorpion of the Red Sand
Tucked away in a puppet workshop between the mountains and forests, the missing Mizuki Aoba is staring blankly at the bloodstained ceiling above his head, quietly waiting for death to befall him.
The members of the team who disappeared with him have been taken away by a group of people wearing masks similar to those of Konoha Dark, and he himself has fallen into the hands of the young puppeteer who controls the incomparably powerful puppet, and has been reduced to the material for the other party's puppeteer.
Shui Wuyue Qingye's hands and feet were cut off and transformed, turning into puppet parts that hid various sinister hidden weapons, and the internal organs were also removed by the other party one by one, but for some reason, he who should have died directly after being removed from his lungs, survived in a way he couldn't understand.
He could feel that the other party was stuffing some parts that should never be in the human body into his abdominal cavity, completely filling up the empty part after the internal organs were removed, and he could also feel that his body was becoming a puppet in the hands of others day by day, but his brain was still very tenaciously alive, ordering him to record all the actions of the red-haired boy who transformed himself-
"Interesting."
Seeing that the neck down has been completely puppetized, only the head is still the original product, but he is still staring at his water without moon green leaves with his eyes, the red sand scorpion's calm and indifferent face showed an interested look, "It's all been transformed to such a point, but you are still not completely dead...... Your body holds quite a few secrets, Ninja of the Fog. ”
Huh?
The strength that sustained me from dying...... Isn't it your puppetry?
Such doubts couldn't help but appear in Shui Wuyue Qingye's mind, but after such doubts arose, the boundless darkness came like a raging ocean tide, completely engulfing the last consciousness of Shui Wuyue Qingye.
And seeing that Shui Wuyue Qingye suddenly lost his highlights and quickly hollowed his eyes, the Red Sand Scorpion only raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said to himself with interest:
"Is this the power of the spell seal given to you by the four generations of Mizukage? It's like a snake that has been decapitated and still has the chance to attack an enemy who is carelessly approaching...... As the strongest of this era, your art is also interesting, Kaguya. ”
The Red Sand Scorpion had never seen Kaguya, but in the battle that captured the Shui Wuyue Aoba, relying on the power of the unlimited activation of the spell mark and the fighting method of not fearing death, the Shui Wuyue Aoye successfully destroyed the two battle puppets that the Red Sand Scorpion used more often, although after that, he was inevitably defeated by the puppets of the three generations of Wind Shadows, but the amazing explosiveness and tenacious vitality shown by the Shui Wuyue Aoye still made the Red Sand Scorpion arouse a lot of interest.
This is also the reason why the Red Sand Scorpion chose to try to make him a puppet without killing Shui Wuyue Qingye.
He was curious to see how far this Blood Ninja, who had received the power of Kaguya's Mercy Curse Seal, could hold on to before finally dying, and the result did not disappoint him, and the tenacious and abnormal vitality like a snake brought him a lot of inspiration.
"Lord Scorpion, my subordinates have something to report."
Just when the Red Sand Scorpion was happily admiring the human puppet of Shui Wuyue Qingye and thinking about how to transform the last flesh of the other party into a puppet, a male voice with thin emotions and no personal characteristics came from outside the transformation room, interrupting the Red Sand Scorpion's thinking. The red-haired young puppeteer's face sank, and he replied in a cold tone:
"It's best to be able to neutralize the important news that you have disturbed my inspiration...... Otherwise, you'll be a puppet in the Hundred Machines Exercise. ”
"The source is the Absolute Master of the 'Root' Department, and he sent a notice to his subordinates, saying that both Konoha and Kigakure have sent their elite teams to investigate the recent attacks on their village Shinobi, and at the same time, the Akatsuki Organization of the Land of Rain has also dispatched Nagato, the most powerful of their three leaders, to come in the direction of the Land of Wind......"
Hearing this, the Red Sand Scorpion narrowed its eyes slightly.
"Konoha's business is none of my business, it's a headache for them in Kakuto, but it's someone from the fog hide...... Was there any mention of that person's identity? ”
"Ha, the Absolute Lord said that it was one of the newly promoted ninja sword seven of the four generations of Mizukage Kazuya, but it is not clear which one it is, because the members of the new ninja sword seven have the heavenly curse mark given by the four generations of Mizukage Karuya Ren, and their perception of natural energy is very keen, and it does not dare to get too close to each other."
"Huh~The Curse of Heaven?"
The Red Sand Scorpion's tone rose slightly, with a hint of excitement and curiosity, "That thing, it should be an upgraded version of the spell mark on Shui Wuyue Qingye, right?" Very well, in that case, I can see your true art, Kaguya ......"
"Are you going to capture that new member of the Ninja Seven like you captured Mizuki Aoba, Scorpion-sama? According to the information provided by the Absolute Master, the members of the Ninja Sword Seven who have obtained the Heavenly Curse Seal basically have the strength to suppress the wild three-tails alone, and it will be very difficult to capture one of them. ”
"That's it, it's more valuable to make him a puppet."
The Red Sand Scorpion's hand slid over the already cold cheeks of Shui Wuyue Qingye, and replied unhurriedly:
"Go down and mobilize people, I allow you to use all the intelligence personnel to search for the intelligence and whereabouts of the ninja sword seven sent by the fog yin, it doesn't matter if the movement is a little bigger, anyway, Ah Fei and Jue's request is for us to create more movement to attract the attention of the major ninja villages......
"Can the subordinate allow an intelligence agent to pretend to be inadvertently exposed, and then guide that misty visitor to one of your strongholds, Lord Scorpion, to provide you with a chance to work at ease?"
"Yes."
After thinking for a while, the Red Sand Scorpion accepted the proposal of his subordinates, and then quickly calculated the time it would take for him to complete the human puppet of Mizuki Moon Aoba, and familiarize himself with his various abilities, so that he could cooperate with the human puppet of the three generations of Wind Shadow, and said in a deep voice:
"Seven days, seven days later, you let one of your intelligence officers reveal his whereabouts, and then lure that guy to the stronghold of Kawanokuni...... I will be there waiting for him to come. ”
"Subordinates receive orders."
After the man outside the door answered, he quickly left the stronghold to convey the will of the Red Sand Scorpion, and after arranging the battlefield after arranged, the Red Sand Scorpion also turned his attention to Shui Wuyue Qingye, and began to transform the last remaining head of the other party, making the final preparations for the subsequent ambush battle.
"The poison used before is not very effective on the water without moon green leaves with the spell mark, so if it is used on the guy who has the curse mark of the sky, the effect should only be worse, and the formula of the venom must be adjusted......"
"The new members of the Ninja Sword Seven, then presumably physical skills will be one of the strengths, and the defensive puppets need to prepare a few more ......"
"There are also puppets of people without water and moonless green leaves...... Should it be used early to influence the enemy's mentality, or should it be used as a hole card to appear with the three generations of Kazekage? ”
The Red Sand Scorpion was handling Mizuki Aoba's body while unhurriedly conceiving his own tactics.
