Chapter 183 The Scorpion of Red Sand【Seeking a Monthly Ticket,
Returning to his room, Xie deftly untied the puppet tied with a black strip of cloth from his back.
It has a pair of red devil-like horns and six arms, as well as a huge body set up for "preying". The multi-jointed arms are like ants and can be twisted to any extent and angle.
Black ants.
It is an ant-shaped puppet created by the Scorpion of Red Sand. It exists to "prey" - after putting the opponent into the body, the puppet master uses the secret ninjutsu technique - Jiji Yibo, and cooperates with it that he developed earlier.
The puppet crow can kill the opponent by inserting a sharp blade into the slot of the black ant and piercing the opponent.
A crow puppet almost amazed the entire Sand Hidden Village puppet master, and now he has even created a black ant that can perfectly cooperate with the crow.
There is no doubt that as soon as the Black Ant appears, the name of the Red Sand Scorpion will once again shock the entire Sand Hidden Village.
Bang——
When the puppet fell to the ground, it made a dull sound.
Judging from the puppet's size and style alone, it should be quite light, but theoretically speaking, it wouldn't be that heavy, or at least it wouldn't make such a dull sound.
Scorpio, who had no fluctuations in his expression, finally had fluctuations in his eyes when he saw this puppet, as if he had seen something he cherished.
Visible to the naked eye, five tiny chakra threads extend from Scorpion's fingers.
With the slight shaking in his hand, the black ant made a "click-click" sound.
The mechanism on Black Ant's chest slowly opened, revealing a person imprisoned inside.
A man with eyes wide open and his whole body restrained, so restrained that he could not speak or even tremble.
He looked at the Red Sand Scorpion with horror in his eyes.
He did not expect that he would be caught by a scorpion, by the red sand scorpion who regarded the future of Sand Hidden Village.
Xie stretched out his hand and touched the man's face tremblingly, his eyes full of heat:
"The human body is still too fragile, so let me make you the first and most precious collection of my eternal works of art!
Don’t worry, you won’t feel any pain, nor will you have any regrets, because I will retain all your abilities! I will definitely make you a perfect work of art!”
At this moment, Xia's eyes were the same as Toneri's teacher Orochimaru's eyes when he saw the precious experimental product.
the next day.
Xie stared at the brand new puppet in front of him with a satisfied expression. With the slight trembling of his fingers, the puppet in front of him could move according to the trembling of his fingers.
If you look carefully, you can find that this puppet is very different from puppets made of ordinary materials. The most obvious thing is that the appearance of this puppet does not have that kind of wood or metal texture. Instead, it is very similar to a human being.
Similar, they have the same skin, the same hair, and facial features that are much more refined than the puppets.
And as the changes in the scorpion's fingers gradually increased, chakra fluctuations appeared on the puppet's body. As the chakra fluctuations became more and more obvious, a small ball of flame condensed on his puppet's hand.
Seeing this scene, Scorpion's eyes burst out with unstoppable madness.
He kept chanting: "I succeeded! I succeeded! This is the real puppet, this is eternity, this! This is art!! Art!!!"
This is Scorpio's first attempt at making a human puppet.
But if we want to talk about the conception, it started very early, very, very early, maybe even as far back as when he just learned to make puppets and made puppets that looked like his parents to hug him, but he didn't feel the temperature from the puppets.
From that moment on, the idea of making human puppets came into his mind.
I have been imagining it for a long time, and finally succeeded in making my first human puppet, and retained all the abilities and chakra that this person had in life.
"Only this kind of puppet, only this kind of puppet can really be called a puppet, and all others can only be regarded as defective products." Xie murmured to himself.
He took out a sealing scroll and put the human puppet away.
"No! This is not perfect, it still has flaws, big flaws!
The strength he has in front of him is still too weak, too weak. His body is not worthy of my perfect conception and my perfect art. I need to find a more suitable person, someone with stronger strength to become my puppet.
!”
Immediately afterwards, Xie began to shake his head again, dissatisfied with the puppet in front of him.
His eyes suddenly changed, from the original crazy expression to a bit cold and stern, "Konoha White Fang! Hatake Sakumo!"
It's just a pity that information came back from Konoha a few years ago that Hatake Sakumo had passed away.
The White Fang of Konoha, whom he had always hoped for, always wanted to defeat, and always wanted to take revenge on his own, actually hanged himself at home.
This is simply a big joke.
The one who killed his parents and made him an orphan, the Konoha White Fang who was famous in the ninja world, actually hanged himself to death.
This made Xion, who had always wanted to seek revenge against him, almost collapse when he learned the news.
Moreover, the reason for wanting to defeat White Fang is not only because he killed his parents, but also partly because White Fang is known as the puppet master's nemesis. Defeating him is to clear the name of all puppet masters.
However, Konoha White Fang, who had always been the biggest spiritual support in his heart, suddenly collapsed and disappeared.
So he needs to find new spiritual sustenance.
Fortunately, he has found this so-called spiritual sustenance.
That is the third generation Kazekage who is now in power in Sunagakure Village!
The Third Kazekage who issued the mission and asked his parents to fight against Konoha White Fang!
If it hadn't been for him, his parents wouldn't have been in danger and wouldn't have died.
The most important thing is that he needs a ninja who is strong enough to prove that his human puppet is really successful, and only a person with such strong strength is qualified to become his most perfect collection and can be called art.
"But now my strength is still a bit lacking, not strong enough, and I need to do some more research on these inferior puppets.
Although they are of inferior quality, they do not have high requirements for raw materials, and the puppets are still too high for me to buy.
And you have to move quickly. Even if a person disappears, you can't hide it for long, so you need to speed up." After Xie installed the human puppet, he dived into the densely packed materials in his room.
Crows and Black Ants alone are not enough to defeat the powerful Third Kazekage.
...
One month later.
Luo Sha, who finished scouring the sand again and returned to her house in Hidden Sand Village, saw a note that appeared on her desk at some point.
"The red sand scorpion has changed, and sincerity has appeared."
If it hadn't been for seeing this note, Luo Sha would have almost forgotten the so-called cooperation of the Konoha Cangmao not long ago.
I thought it was just a joke or a casual remark, but I didn't expect that it actually took it to heart.
What really surprised Luo Sha was not the content on the note, but the origin of the note!
This was Sunagakure Village, and the other party was able to deliver the note to him without him even finding out who sent it.
Does that mean that Konoha has placed their people in Sunagakure Village? This is something he was surprised and did not expect.
If this is really the case, will the entire Sunagakure Village soon have no secrets in Konoha's eyes?
The other party can even take action against the Red Sand Scorpion, which he has always regarded as a thorn in his side but cannot touch. There is really a lot involved in this.
Just this one note contained so many things that it made Luo Sha feel shuddering.
Looking around, I didn't find any people.
Just when he was about to immerse himself in this message again, a voice sounded outside the door.
"Lord Luo Sha, the elders have invited you."
Hearing the sudden sound, he was so frightened that he almost subconsciously attacked, but luckily he stopped his hand in time.
Hide the note in the ninja bag.
"knew."
With that said, he left the house and jumped towards the tallest building in the center.
Sunagakure Village attaches great importance to tradition, which can be seen from their architecture and clothing.
Therefore, the management system of Sunagakure Village is also relatively traditional.
Nominally, the supreme leader of Sand Hidden Village is of course Kazekage, who is now the third generation Kazekage.
Of course, in fact, it is indeed the Kazekage, but unlike other Hidden Village Shadows who can hold power alone, Sunagakure Village has a group of elders that can restrict the Kazekage's power. When the Kazekage issues major instructions,
Requires approval from the Board of Elders.
There is a huge round table. Sitting beside it are many old men with gray hair and beards. Directly south of the round table, sits the youngest person present, the Third Kazekage!
Wearing a white Kazekage robe with a blue ninja suit inside, he tapped his fingers on the surface of the round table with a serious look on his face.
In this room, there are two human-like statues standing, which are the first Kazekage and the second Kazekage.
Luo Sha is the leader of the younger generation in Sand Hidden Village, and has mastered the ability of magnetic escape. He uses magnetic escape to pan out gold from the desert, which alleviates the financial power of Sand Hidden Village. It is precisely because of his ability and
For his contribution, the elders of Sunagakure Village allowed him to sit in on every elder meeting.
There is no doubt that this is recognition of him. As long as he can keep his integrity, even if he cannot become the Fourth Kazekage in the future, there is no problem in becoming a powerful elder.
And among the elderly elders present here, many of them support him.
"Lord Kazekage, elders!"
Luo Sha saluted respectfully after entering the room.
These talents here are the real center of power in Sunagakure Village. Anyone who can enter this room will have a huge impact on Sunagakure Village if anything goes wrong.
Their existence is to ensure that Sunagakure Village can develop better and will not become a person's power or political tool.
"Luo Sha is here, thank you for your hard work."
When the Third Kazekage saw Luo Sha, a smile appeared on his face.
In the past few years, the daimyo of the Land of Wind have reduced financial allocations again and again, and Sunagakure Village has to hand over 20% of Konoha's tasks every year. This is undoubtedly making things worse for Sunagakure Village.
This is the situation. After a few years, the strength of Sand Hidden Village has not weakened at all. On the contrary, it has become stronger and stronger. It is because of Luo Sha's magnetic escape that he has obtained a large amount of resources from the desert.
Gold, use this gold to push Sunagakure Village forward.
That's why he now has such a high reputation in Sunagakure Village and is a strong competitor for the next generation of Kazekage.
If it hadn't been for the talented Red Sand Scorpion, the fourth Kazekage would have been almost certain.
"The teacher praised me very much. These are all things I should do."
Luo Sha did not take credit for his contribution, but instead placed his position very low.
When the elders saw his appearance, they all nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, the third generation Kazekage's expression became a little serious, "Luo Sha, there have been frequent disappearances in the village recently. We suspect that it is done by people in the village, and there may even be people who are exposed to taboos. Now I will give you a task.
Find this person or this group of people!"
"yes!"
Luo Sha took it without any hesitation, but for some reason, the sentence on the note and the cold, puppet-like eyes of the Red Sand Scorpion always flashed in her mind.
After receiving permission to take on the task, he quickly left, leaving behind a group of ugly-faced elders in the room.
Due to the special geographical location of Sunagakure Village and the contributions made by the first and second generations of Kazekage, the ninjas in Sunagakure Village are roughly divided into three factions.
The Caosha family is headed by the Third Kazekage, the puppet family is headed by Elder Chiyo, and the remaining families are headed by other elders.
The frequent disappearance of personnel this time is most likely due to people from the puppet family being in contact with taboo puppets. This is the reason why the faces of these elders are ugly. Because of the possibility of taboos, the puppet family has become the vaguely excluded one.
One side.
The relationship between the three factions has become somewhat contradictory.
After Luo Sha left the conference room, he immediately summoned the Anbu members he trusted and began to investigate.
Although he thought it was a bit unlikely, the note and the incident were so perfectly matched that even if he didn't believe it, doubt would always flash through his mind.
But he and the Red Sand Scorpion are both strong contenders to be the next Kazekage. Once he investigates the Red Sand Scorpion without any results, he may be accused of being petty and avenging private revenge, so for the sake of completeness, he did not
Before coming up, directly investigate the Red Sand Scorpion.
Instead, he asked people to start investigating from other directions, while he himself investigated the scorpion bit by bit, carefully, without touching the scorpion or causing unnecessary noise.
But in this way, time slows down a little.
This slowness gives the fast-growing Scorpio the best opportunity to perfect himself.
...
a week later.
Kazekage Office.
The Third Kazekage looked solemnly at his disciple Luo Sha standing in front of him.
"Are you sure?" The Third Fengying said solemnly.
Rasa's face was equally heavy, but unlike the Third Kazekage, half of him was surprised by the results of his investigation, and the other half was because of the piece of paper that was still in his ninja bag a week ago.
"The Red Sand Scorpion Has Changed".
I didn't expect this change to have such a meaning.
Luo Sha responded in a deep voice:
"In order to confirm the results of the investigation, I went through complicated verification three times before finding you, teacher. Otherwise, with my current sensitive status, if I make a mistake, I will be stuck with it."
"How many people still know about this matter?"
"It's just me and you, teacher, right now!"
Upon hearing the answer, the Third Kazekage fell into silence.
Following the normal procedure, now that it is confirmed, Luo Sha has the right to arrest Di Fang directly. However, the identity of the Red Sand Scorpion is too special. Even with Luo Sha's reputation and status in Sand Hidden Village,
If you attack him easily, you may be dragged into the water together.
Scorpion's grandma is Chiyo with the highest status and the most power among the group of elders. If she doesn't get it right, it is likely to cause a huge backlash.
Thinking of this, the Third Kazekage understood why Luo Sha couldn't do this.
"It seems that I still have to come to this matter. You can go back first and pretend not to know.
As for... who did those people before, you should be able to find a few spies from other villages who have been identified within Sunagakure Village, right?"
The Third Kazekage pondered for a long time before saying this.
"I understand, teacher, don't worry."
With that said, Luo Sha turned around and left.
But at this moment, his heart was not at peace. What the Red Sand Scorpion did was one thing. The pair of eyes that seemed to be hiding in the dark and staring at him were what really made his heart waver.
main reason.
But when Luo Sha returned to her house, she found another note at the door.
When he put the note up with a solemn expression, he saw it said: "Don't add any more structures to the house, it's just unnecessary.
Also, you have to remember that I can do more than you think! This time, you owe me!"
This time he talked more than last time, but the more he knew, the heavier Luo Sha's heart became.
Has Sunagakure Village been infiltrated to this extent?
In the entire Sand Hidden Village, only he and the Third Kazekage know about the Red Sand Scorpion. Even his grandmother Chiyo doesn't know, but the content of these two notes seems to be that the changes in the Red Sand Scorpion come from
them.
A person's imagination is very powerful. Even the instigator of all kinds of things that were originally imaginary, after he imagined them, what the final situation turned out to be, probably doesn't know.
...
When the Third Kazekage came to Xia's residence alone, he did not see Xia's shadow.
However, he saw a lot of scattered parts from Scorpion's puppet console, some of which contained many bloody tools.
Seeing these things and the faint smell of blood in the air made him frown subconsciously.
"Scorpion..."
The Third Kazekage murmured, with a complicated look on his face.
He is really very optimistic about Xie. Even if Luo Sha is his disciple, looking at the overall situation of Sand Hidden Village, Xie, who is more talented, may take Sand Hidden Village to a higher level.
And for Scorpion's parents, the Third Kazekage was also full of apologies.
Because of his order, Xie's parents died on the battlefield, which caused Xie's mentality to change.
The occurrence of this matter now has many direct and indirect relationships with him.
"I hope I can bring you back!"
Even if he is brought back, based on what he has done, the position of Kazekage is no longer available to him.
From the perspective of the Third Kazekage, this is really hard to accept.
