Chapter 109: A hug with your head held high
After Hoshino's kick, the scorpion slowly woke up.
He was like a robot being awakened, and he didn't feel uncomfortable frowning from ordinary people, but turned his head to look at Hoshino Mu calmly.
In fact, since he decided to assassinate the three generations of Kazekage, he had expected that there would be such a day, and it was nothing more than a matter of time or time.
The strength of the village is not something he can compete with alone, but someone is responsible for the blood of his parents.
It's a pity that White Fang is dead, and he can't send him on his way by himself, so the remaining sinners, the three generations of Kazekage, the decision-makers of the war, must end his life himself.
Now that the revenge of his parents has been avenged, the only thought is the ultimate art of life, but it is a pity that his art will come to an end.
"Aren't you going to do it yet?"
The scorpion looked at Hoshino Mu, and his tone was indifferent, as if the person who said it was not himself.
"Hands-on? Didn't you just finish moving? ”
Hoshino Mu looked the scorpion up and down suspiciously: "Could it be that you are a masochist?" ”
The scorpion looked at the other party's eyes as if it was fake, and he was silent for a moment: "What do you want from me?" ”
There are many strong people in Sand Ninja Village, and there is no need for Kazekage to come all the way to serve himself.
Besides, what he did was a felony, and once it was discovered that he was related to the person who killed the three generations of Kazekage, he would not end up well.
The scorpion does not see in itself the value that is beneficial to the other party.
Hoshino Maki did not answer his words, but untied the rope, took out the scroll, took out a saber from it, and handed it to the scorpion: "Familiar?" ”
The scorpion's pupils constricted.
Taking pictures in the ninja world is a luxury, but Scorpion struggles to find a picture of White Fang.
When he was a child, it can be said that when he thought of his parents at night, he would take out two photos, one was a photo of his parents holding him, and the other was a photo of White Fang.
He had already memorized every detail of that man in his mind, how could he not recognize the knife?
"Where did you get that?"
For the first time, the scorpion's face had an expression called 'excited', which made him look like a living, flesh-and-blood man.
"Konoha gave it to me."
Hoshino Mu sat down beside him: "Don't get excited, this is just for you."
Seeing that the scorpion was holding the saber tightly in his hand, Hoshino Mu rolled his eyes angrily: "Don't think about it, I promised Chiyo-sama that this thing would be given to her, just to show you." ”
Hearing Hoshino Maki's words, the scorpion's eyes closed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Hoshino Mu looked at his expression and said, "Do you want to know how I got it?" ”
The scorpion looked at the other party and didn't speak, and Hoshino Maki briefly told the other party about the war between the village and Konoha.
"Then your life is really worthless."
The scorpion patted the saber in his hand, and his tone didn't know whether it was mockery or emotion.
Maybe the scorpion himself didn't know that he was unconscious, and the mood of his speech was completely different from before.
"Isn't it worth it?" Hoshino Mu looked into his eyes: "Without Chiyo, I can't sit in the position of the wind shadow, use this broken knife to make me sit more stable, where is the loss?" ”
"So you're trying to use me to influence Chiyo?"
With the intelligence of the scorpion, he instantly understood Hoshino Maki's intentions.
"If you don't add 'grandma' to the end, I'll take that knife from your arms and give you to Konoha so that your enemy's son can stab you in the chest with this knife."
Hoshino squinted his eyes, a dangerous look flashing in his eyes.
The scorpion was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Now it's just you and me here. ”
After speaking, seeing that Hoshino Mu was still unmoved, his eyes were fixed on the knife in his arms.
He felt that if he didn't do what he said, the other party would really send him to Konoha.
He was not a person who was afraid of death, but thinking of the scene in the other person's mouth, the physical discomfort almost made him retch.
He can die at anyone's hands, but not the son of White Fang.
He lowered his head and muttered something quietly.
Hoshino Mu plucked out his ears: "Be louder, I can't hear it." ”
The scorpion blinked, then looked up at Hoshino Makaki: "Chiyo. Grandmother. ”
After speaking, he looked at Hoshino Mu mockingly: "Are you satisfied?" So you want me to play a filial grandson and go back to please her? ”
Hoshino shook his head: "This will only drive her to death." ”
Chiyo's feelings for scorpions are complex.
On the one hand, there is the grandmother's love for the grandson who has been raised since childhood, and on the other hand, there is the thunderous anger necessary to kill three generations of Kazekage criminals as the chief elder of the village.
Chiyo, caught between the two, is in pain only she knows.
Once this balance is broken, watching her good grandson return to her knees, in order to save her grandson's life, will she want to exchange her life for a life and use her own life to wash away the sins of the scorpion?
Hoshino Maki can't guarantee it, after all, the people in the ninja world seem to like to go to extremes.
The scorpion was stunned for a moment and shook his head self-deprecatingly: "You overestimate my influence too much. ”
In his thoughts, if Chiyo really valued him so much, why did he sit back and watch his parents carry out such a dangerous mission?
Which of the big names in the village went to war?
Why did the son and daughter-in-law of the head of the First Great Clan go on the most dangerous mission?!
Why?!
The scorpion admits that his thoughts are selfish, but everyone is selfish, but the most privileged parents are like hot-blooded clowns, how unfair!
In the face of this hatred, Chiyo's past love for him was blocked, and all he saw was the back of his parents when they left.
I don't know why, I was very young at the time, but until now, the back of my eyes is still so clear.
Hoshino Mu looked into his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Do you know how I became the commander-in-chief of the medical force?" ”
After Hoshino Maki became the Kazekage, many of his stories were widely disseminated, and one of them must be the story of him, as the commander-in-chief of the medical unit, who broke the ambush of Yunshinobi and turned the tide of the battle.
If someone asks him, why did a middle ninja jump into the dragon gate and suddenly become the commander-in-chief?
People will only say that he is valued by Chiyo as a puppet of the other party, but this problem is a loophole when you think about it.
Why did Chiyo choose only a middle ninja?
Ability?
There are too many capable people, and Kamishinobi has to line up in front of Chiyo.
Birth?
Hoshino Mu has been a civilian for more than ten years, and it is no secret that his ancestors are also civilians.
The scorpion didn't know what it was the first piece of information, so naturally it didn't know the secret.
"Because of you."
Hoshino Mu looked at each other with burning eyes, "I told Chiyo that I know your whereabouts and will bring you back." Actually, I don't know your whereabouts at all, but."
Hoshino Mu looked into his eyes and spat out word by word: "She doesn't dare to bet." ”
"She didn't dare to kill me, because I dared to say this to her, and I wasn't afraid of death; She didn't dare to torture me because she was afraid that I had a ban in my body, and if something happened to me, she might never see her grandson in her life. She behaved very cautiously, cautious not like Chiyo-sama in the prestigious ninja world, but like an old woman who grasped the last straw of her life and lost a candle before the wind. ”
Hoshino didn't say anything about the cost of trial and error and the details of some of the information.
In fact, he had no autonomy in the face of Chiyo at that time, and the other party's mentality was like scratching a lottery ticket, and even if he didn't win, he could easily eliminate himself, and there was no loss at all, so why not?
Of course, this will definitely not be said to the scorpion, and now is a critical moment for sensationalism.
Hoshino Mu knocked on the saber in the scorpion's arms: "By the way, when I was studying at Chiyo's mansion, I saw a codex, which is a ninjutsu created by Chiyo-sama, and it is a ninjutsu that resurrects the dead. ”
The scorpion's face showed a look of consternation, and he exclaimed, "No, it can't be! How can there be a ninjutsu in the world that brings the dead back to life! ”
Hoshino Mu shook his head: "I don't know if there is a precedent for that ninjutsu to be successful, but judging from the technique of ninjutsu. It should be at the cost of life. ”
The scorpion didn't speak, his eyes full of disbelief.
He believed that Hoshino Mu had not lied to him, and it would not be difficult to confirm these words if he really returned to the village.
The amount of information in it was like a bolt from the blue, and he was overwhelmed.
If Chiyo really plans to resurrect her parents with her own life, then why did she assassinate Kazekage and choose to wander the world?
He felt like he was doing a joke, and the maker of the joke was himself.
"Impossible, impossible! You're lying to me, aren't you! ”
For the first time, the scorpion lost its mind, grabbed Hoshino Mu's collar and shook and screamed.
Hoshino looked at the helpless scorpion as it was madness, and his eyes were full of pity.
In hindsight, if Chiyo had told Scorpion that she was studying a ninjutsu that would bring the dead back to life, instead of secretly studying it all the time, wouldn't Scorpion have assassinated Kazekage?
Hoshino doesn't know the answer, but it shouldn't be worse than it is now.
"I'm learning this ninjutsu."
When the scorpion heard the other party's words, he was stunned for a moment.
"And I'm sure I'm not going to die."
When the scorpion heard his words, his lips pursed, and he suddenly let go of Hoshino Mu's collar, staggered to his knees, and shook his head in despair: "No, it's useless, I can't go back." ”
Now that he has become the most sinful traitor in the history of Shayin Village, how can he still have the face to see his parents?
"So what are your plans, suicide? What can be saved? You are dead, Chiyo is angry with me, I step down and replace Orange Juro to come to power, will Sand Hidden Village be far from destruction? ”
The scorpion looked at each other blankly, even though he was an experienced and powerful ninja, but in the end he was still a sixteen-year-old boy, and he was hit so hard all of a sudden, and now his brain was overloaded, and Hoshino Mu's words were all over the place, how could his life still be related to the survival of Sand Hidden Village?
"Scorpion"
Hoshino Mu squatted down, straightened each other's shoulders, and the two looked at each other: "People will always make some mistakes in this life, but it doesn't mean that this person is a failure and has no value in existence." As long as you can make up for the mistakes you have made, your parents, Chiyo-sama, and even the three generations of Kazekage will forgive you. ”
The scorpion smiled miserably: "Hehe, killing the Wind Shadow will not have a chance to make amends." ”
"Who knows? I know you know, Chiyo knows, oh yes, and the three generations of dead Kazekage know, as long as we don't say it, no one will know about it. Of course, I'm not saying that it didn't happen, but that there is still time to make amends. As long as you have done enough outstanding deeds for the village and the country of winds, the village will consider your contribution as well as your crimes. ”
"I hope you are by my side, and together we will make the Sand Hidden Village better, the people on the yellow sand need your puppetry, they need your intelligence, you have the ability to make this land different."
"As long as you want to change, it's never too late, I'm willing to fight with you for a better tomorrow for the village."
"Scorpion, I hope that when your parents wake up, you can hug them with your head held high."
Hearing the last sentence, the scorpion's tears could no longer be suppressed, he had not had this urge to cry for a long time.
He fell to his knees, tears dripping down his cheeks, but soon seeped into the sand and left nothing.
Hoshino didn't bother him, just looked at the young man.
The history of the scorpion has been a tragedy all his life, and he will also bring tragedy to countless people, and now, history has been rewritten by himself again.
——
The wheels of the Destiny carriage turned, and Hoshino and Scorpion returned to the village in a caravan bound for the village of Sand Hide.
The two people sitting opposite the carriage didn't talk much, the scorpion was a person who didn't like to talk, and Hoshino Mu looked at the other party's paralyzed face, and his desire to speak was also reduced by half.
"What do you need me to do?"
The carriage was getting closer and closer to Shayin Village, and the scorpion finally took the initiative to speak.
Hometown timidity, if it was the previous scorpion, maybe he wouldn't have this feeling, but now he is full of guilt, but he is a little afraid to face the village he once familiarized.
"Accompany me to meet Chiyo, and then wait for the new ninja school to be built and go to the Eastern Oasis to study puppetry, before that. Let's practice in my house. ”
"Me"
The scorpion's face was a little hesitant, and now he suddenly faced Chiyo, he didn't know what to say.
Hoshino Mu glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, Chiyo doesn't know how to face you now, take your time." ”
As he spoke, he took out a face towel and a mask covered with red lines from his sleeve: "Which one to choose?" ”
The scorpion did not hesitate to take the mask.
Makaki Hoshino withdrew the face towel.
I did a test casually, and it seems that the other party still has more thoughts of escaping in his heart.
That is, the current scorpion has not really become a humanoid puppet, and the suppression of human nature is not serious, and he can still use the saber and the vision of resurrecting his parents to open his heart, otherwise after putting on the scarlet amber, I am afraid that it will not be easy to escape.
"Hey, you can give me back the saber."
Hoshino Mu pointed to the saber on the other party's waist, the scorpion was very cooperative this time, and handed it to the other party directly, and said at the same time: "Is there anything else in the white fang?" I want to give it as a gift when I see my parents again. ”
Hoshino Mu thought for a moment: "White Fang has a fire cloud sleeve robe that the village specially made to reward him, you can try it." ”
"Fire Cloud Sleeve Robe?"
The scorpion muttered to himself.
Hoshino didn't say much, with the other party's current state of mind, it was a good thing to have a goal.
"Guest, we're in front of Shayin Village."
At this moment, a reminder came from outside the carriage of the caravan, and the scorpion wrapped his cloak tightly in his mask, lifted the curtain, and looked at the familiar windbreak outside, his eyes gradually moistened
