Chapter 63
"you--"
Granny Zhima had already left with the corpse first.Immortal Fukasaku watched in surprise as Tenten took a step forward, slashing Jiraiya on the back of the head with a knife.
Due to the speed and the unexpectedness, Ji Lai also fell down directly.
Putting Jiraiya's body flat, Tian Tian breathed a long sigh of relief, and explained softly: "The current ninja world... can't do without Jiraiya-sama."
and……
There's really nothing left to uncover!The true face of the enemy is what they just said.
But her words are unfounded, and Mr. Jiraiya will definitely insist on confirming it himself.
The space suddenly shook for a moment.The barrier is instantly distorted.
"So it's here." The enchantment around him faded, and six Payne appeared in front of him.
"Payne..." Tian Tian stood up with a gloomy expression.
She took out the scroll and psychically produced the plantain fan, the hands holding the handle of the fan were faintly white.
Facing the plantain fan of the Sage of the Six Paths, Payne also had some scruples.They stopped in their tracks and confronted Tian Tian.
"Master Fukasaku, quickly take Ziraiya-sama away." Taking this opportunity, Tian Tian said in a deep voice, "I'll deal with them."
"But……"
"Let's go!"
Tiantian glanced at the towering towers around him.
If it doesn't work, she still has a last resort.
"Come on, Penn—"
The most intense battle started again.
The wind howled, flying sand and rocks.
There was scarlet in front of his eyes.
***
"Cough, cough, I didn't expect... Xie, compared to then, he has improved so much."
"Humph."
In the battlefield between Xie and Xiaonan, both sides suffered losses.
Scorpion was in a rare embarrassment at this time.The dark red hair was messy, and there were many scratches on the face.He was panting heavily, feeling like he couldn't breathe.
He couldn't help cursing the weakness of this body again—his puppet body wouldn't have such a situation!
Ever since Xie learned that Tiantian would also use the detonating talisman, she asked her to use it more when sparring with him.Over the past few years, the defense ability of Scorpion's puppets against detonating talismans has risen sharply, and Tiantian's detonating talismans have wasted at least nearly tens of billions.
Tian Tian was very dissatisfied with this, but the protest was ineffective.
Just thinking about it, Tian Tian's shadow/body appeared in the field of vision.
She looked at Xiao Nan vigilantly, and after confirming that the opponent was powerless to attack, she left with Xie.
"Are you... a shadow part/body?" Scorpion glanced at her, "How was the battle over there?"
She can still use the shadow part/body, so it should be fine, right?
"Fortunately."
Scorpion raised his eyebrows.What do you mean?So perfunctory? !
It's a pity that he doesn't have the strength to get angry right now.
As if seeing his anger, Tiantian added with a smile: "Master, you are so tired, even if I have something to do, you can't help me."
"……Humph."
The two rushed out of the village.
Tiantian's footsteps suddenly stopped, his whole body trembled slightly, and then returned to normal.
She opened her mouth: "Master, the experiment you took over..."
"Already done."
"What about Grandma Chiyo?"
"It's halfway through." Scorpion frowned, very puzzled, "Why are you asking this at this time?"
A resolute light flashed across Tian Tian's pale face, but his words were intermittent, "Master, that 'person' is very important, and it is estimated that soon...Penn will attack Konoha, and then...you must kill 'him' Bring it to Konoha, please... Also, the one made by Grandma Chiyo, in case of a big war, you..."
"and many more!"
Scorpion gave a low snort.
This way of speaking every day gave him the illusion of confessing his last words.
A dark line appeared between his brows, showing rare emotions, and asked sharply, "What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Protect your companions from fatal injuries." Tian Tian smiled, "How many times have I told you, master, why can't you remember?"
"I won't allow it!"
The words came out of my mouth.In the next second, even Scorpion himself was surprised.
When did he start obsessing over certain people and certain things?
Before he had time to think about it, Xie continued: "Are you trying to do something dangerous? Use the Six Paths Ninja Tool?" His expression changed rapidly, and finally he returned to a normal sneer, but it was a bit colder and more terrifying than usual, "I Understood, that's why you took me out in such a hurry."
He immediately walked back and said in a daze, "I don't allow you to use it."
Tiantian hurriedly grabbed him, "I can't go back."
Xie squinted at her, "If you don't use it, I don't have to go back."
Tian Tian was taken aback, hesitation and embarrassment appeared on his face.
Tian Tian is a simple and straightforward person.She hesitated for a moment, but Xie immediately understood.He snorted coldly and continued forward without saying a word.
Of course Tiantian rushed over to stop him.
"Can't go over!"
"Step aside!"
The tip of the needle is facing the wheat awn, and the two are at a stalemate.
Xie was not a good-tempered person at all, and he was completely angry at this time, roaring: "What will be the consequences of using the six path ninja tools! Do you know, kid?!"
Tiantian was also in a hurry, and yelled back: "If even the person I want to protect is dead, then what's the point of me sticking to these rules?!"
Wouldn't that be completely putting the cart before the horse!
then……
Scorpion was stunned by the roar.
When he realized it, his entire face was darkened, and a pair of exquisite eyes widened immediately.
Damn, how dare you yell at him? !
Before he could get angry, there was a huge roar in the distance.
The detonating talismans that exploded in succession raised smoke soaring into the sky, and the tall tower on the west collapsed from halfway up——
"Wait! What did you do?!" Scorpion wanted to catch Tiantian, but found that he couldn't catch it at all.
He stretched out his hand uncontrollably, but his fingertips could only touch the dissipated starlight.
The shadow/body disappeared in the wind, leaving only a soft word.
"Goodbye... Master..."
***
Three days later.
Naruto pushed open the door and immediately sensed that the atmosphere was not right.
All the people in the Huoying room looked at him with embarrassment, hesitating to speak.This feeling of being kept in the dark and feeling a little pity made Naruto feel uncomfortable.
"What's going on, what's the matter?" Naruto pointed at Fukasaku Immortal, and said angrily, "Why is this old man looking for me?"
"Uh...how should I put it, let me tell you this first..." Fukasaku Sento raised his head and looked at Naruto, "Ki-raiya died in battle."
"?!"
"And...you Konoha's Jonin called Tenten."
……
Sand hidden.
"How was the result?" Scorpion asked lightly, his voice calm and unwavering.
Holding a small tool in his hand, he was concentrating on scraping the puppet's parts.The question was more like a casual remark, and he didn't even look in the direction of Grandma Chiyo.
Grandma Chiyo pursed her dry lips, not knowing how to speak.
She clearly watched the movement of the scorpion's hands getting slower and slower, and after she said that word, she froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"Oh."
"scorpion……"
Xie made the puppet without saying a word, his expression was indifferent and focused, as if he was completely unaffected by this matter.
Grandma Chiyo watched him for a while, sighed, and left.
The house fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie picked up the polished small part and placed it under the slanting sunlight coming in through the window for a closer look.
"..." He looked intently, but his eyes were empty.
Chiyo's mother-in-law's information was the same as what he had obtained.
Tiantian and Zilai also died in battle.
From the mother-in-law's tangled posture and hesitant expression, he had already understood it.The appearance of the mother-in-law is the same as when his parents were killed more than 30 years ago, it has not changed.Really are.
"This part you invented..."
The silver parts refracted the sunlight, shining brightly into Scorpion's eyes, like the surface of a lake under the sun, the water glistening.
[Put these three parts together, cut a groove here, and then... In this way, you can avoid the slipping phenomenon that always occurred in the puppet before. 】
【For you. 】
[This is a tribute from the apprentice, please be sure to accept it. 】
Scorpion sighed faintly.
"It's so stupid... How dare you say that he is my apprentice..."
Scorpion continues to take root in the puppet room.
Grandma Chiyo expressed great concern.
After all, Scorpion's reaction was the same as when his parents were killed, too/quiet.
People who don't know Xie might accuse him of being ruthless.But Grandma Chiyo understood that the colder Xie was, the more pain he felt in his heart.
So sad that I don't know how to express it.
Had to be indifferent.
Putting down the teacup in her hand, Grandma Chiyo decided to have a good talk with Xie.She has made such mistakes, cheating Scorpion time and time again, and giving up communication because of the gap in her heart, which finally caused Scorpion to leave.This time, she didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
There was no sign of Xie in the production room, so Grandma Chiyo turned around in confusion and began to search everywhere.
She found the scorpion near the cave.
The scorpion dressed in black turned his back to her, manipulating a puppet, his slender fingers linked to the faint blue chakra lines.
With a creaking sound, the puppet slowly came out of the shadows.
Grandma Chiyo narrowed her eyes——
Her lips trembled a few times, and she almost blurted out those two words.
Although the puppet's face was lifeless and lifeless, she seemed to see those star-like pupils through those dull eyes.
Xie moved his fingers without saying a word, and the puppet walked over stiffly, getting closer...
Grandma Chiyo murmured: "Scorpion..."
She could only look at Xie's black back, but couldn't see his expression, only felt a slight sadness shrouded in it.
"what……"
Scorpion responded as if waking up from a dream.
The chakra line broke, and the puppet staggered a bit, but miraculously it didn't fall down, it just stood askew on the spot.
Xie San stepped forward in two steps, and stood still in front of the puppet, but did not move for a long time.
"Scorpion, you..."
Scorpion turned his head slightly.
With just one glance, Grandma Chiyo was completely stunned.
The boy's delicate cheeks were already filled with clear tears.
He himself was unaware.
Grandma Chiyo suddenly wondered whether that child had secretly cried like this when Xie's parents died, in the long silent night.It's just that her dereliction of duty elder didn't notice.
Later, Xie wiped away his feelings with his own hands, and could no longer express such things that belonged to the weak.
In just a moment, Scorpion turned his head.
He raised his hand, and gently stroked the puppet's cheek, as if treating a beloved treasure, extremely gentle, with strength comparable to stroking a newborn baby.
Sure enough, the eternal beauty that can last forever is art.
rather than passing away easily.
Scorpion was in a trance, thinking absently.
The answer is already obvious.Grandma Chiyo sighed, her calm voice seemed to expose some undeniable facts: "Scorpion, are you still unwilling to admit it?"
Scorpion was startled, and slowly lowered his hand.
Different from Didala's flying character, he has been introverted and indifferent throughout his life, even a little lifeless.
His strength has already surpassed most people in the ninja world.Originally thought that all that was left to do was to stay with the puppet until eternity——going on in a proud posture.
But later, everything developed beyond his expectations.
Up to now, even Xie himself has no way to make it clear whether he is looking forward to living with his family like this in his heart, or is it the eternal road that was originally accompanied by the puppet.
Just like he couldn't tell exactly when he had a different feeling for that girl.Like newly drawn shoots, it decorates the bare and cold branches.
"Yes..." His voice was cold and calm, without a trace of emotion.
"I like her."
But so what.
She is dead.
Just like what happened to his parents 30 years ago.
never again.
A tear fell silently on the puppet, splashing a small flower.
