Hokage’s strongest sword

Scorpion’s Last Gift

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar grandma in front of him, Xie suddenly felt that his grandma had understood and thought through many things in the ten years since he left Sand Ninja Village. She has really become the most ordinary old lady next door.

“Human life…”

For some reason, watching Chiyo who tried his best to save Sakura, Scorpion began to mutter to himself.

“How insignificant human beings are. The erosion of time and the passage of time will take away human lives. We will lament that mayflies are only one day old, but how can human beings live?”Isn’t it just a day that you think is long? So, I tried my best to hope that I could find a way for us to survive forever… I succeeded, as long as my core is not destroyed, I can continue to create puppets to continue my life. Is there anything wrong with this approach? ”

Scorpion’s words seemed to be asking his grandma, but they also seemed to be asking himself. People often say, “When a man is about to die, his words are also good.” When a bird is about to perish, its song also mourns. ’, maybe the scorpion is in such a state at the moment? The original paranoid and stubborn thoughts have slowly dissipated at this moment, leaving only a nearly rational thinking looking at my life.

“Actually, our cry is doomed to tragedy.” Looking at her grandson who seemed a little confused, Grandma Chiyo conveyed her own vitality to Sakura to recover, and on the other hand, she even took a little bit of pain towards her grandson. Said in a doting tone: “We live in an era destined to face more joys and sorrows. In this era, we are the tiny existences like the ‘mayflies’ you call.”

“We follow the ups and downs of the tide of the times. Is this layer upon layer of huge waves not the blood shed from every ninja, is it not the tears overflowing from the eyes of every commoner? So I didn’t understand, or I didn’t put myself I put my eyes on these things. But since you left Sand Ninja Village, I also took the initiative to let go of my authority, and took my younger brother, your second grandfather Ebizo, to live in seclusion outside Sand Ninja Village. ”

“It is this kind of life that gives me the opportunity to think carefully about my life. The life of fishing, playing chess and even pretending to be dead every day makes me feel more satisfied than the life I have spent decades blaming Fang Qiu. Also It was this kind of life that made me understand that people are equal and everyone’s life is worth respecting.”

As she said that, Grandma Chiyo raised her head and looked at the puppets belonging to scorpions scattered around. These puppets were all made of human puppets with human bodies.

“At the beginning, when I found out that you made human puppets, I was actually not so opposed. Because human puppets do have their own superiority, which is incomparable to ordinary puppets. But as the chief consultant of Sand Ninja Village, such things It is absolutely intolerable and concealed. That’s why I lost my temper with you at that time, thinking that you have no long-term vision.”

“But, scorpion… my grandson. You are also a person who has suffered from the death of your own family members. Don’t tell me that those people you made into puppets don’t have their own family members? Maybe they also have their own children. Do you really feel that you have no regrets for what you have done?”

Facing his grandma’s gaze, Xie couldn’t help but fell silent. The death of my parents is my eternal regret in this life, and it is also the most primitive motivation for all actions of Scorpio. But when the scorpion takes the lives of others at will for its own actions, does the scorpion also indirectly create more of itself?

Scorpion has never thought about this problem before, because Scorpion has been completely covered by the curtain of his inner darkness, and he can’t see other things. But now, when he was able to listen to his grandma seriously and began to reflect on himself, Xie suddenly found that he didn’t know how to justify his behavior.

Are you really wrong?

Grandma Chiyo and Scorpion fell into silence again. After a while, Grandma Chiyo restrained the blue chakra covered in her hand. Sakura, who had her eyes closed before, slowly opened her eyes at this moment, and what caught her eyes was Scorpion’s very dull face.

Without any explanation, a jump stood up from the ground. Sakura directly punched Scorpion in the face, a large amount of chakra consumption made Sakura’s fist no longer attached to the strange force, but her strong physical fitness still punched a large area of ​​the face of the puppet that Scorpion was possessing at the moment. Cobweb-like shattering.

“You bastard, what do you think of your own grandma and other people’s lives?!”

After such a punch, Sakura looked at Scorpion and said angrily. In Sakura’s own cognition, Scorpion is simply a heinous demon. For his own selfish desires, so many people lost their lives, and even poisoned his grandmother.

“Human life…”

Grandma Chiyo was already very weak at the moment, she wanted to say something but she closed her mouth after thinking about it for a while, as if she wanted to save her strength to do something.

Looking at the core of his chest that was still dripping with blood, Xie slightly said with a bit of self-mockery:

“Even if I am myself, I can’t understand it now. Maybe I am a product of failure that tried my best to turn myself into a puppet but still has some human characteristics… Let me give you this me It will be the last gift of the child that grandma likes very much…”

Looking at Sakura, Scorpion said slowly.

“I know you care about Orochimaru very much. To a certain extent, I am also on the opposite side of Orochimaru. So, remember to go to Tenji Bridge in Kusanagi Village in ten days. I will stay at Orochimaru A nail of mine, has made an appointment to meet me there.”

Hearing what Scorpion said, Sakura’s expression was also very clear.There was an obvious change, and that kind of anxiety surged into Sakura’s heart instantly. Sakura, who just wanted to ask about the spies, saw that Scorpion’s eyes had slowly lost focus and became lifeless.

But Sakura quickly adjusted her mentality. After all, there is a poisoned Chiyo-grandmother by her side. The most urgent task at this moment is to save Chiyo-grandmother’s life, isn’t it?

“Mother-in-law, I will take you back to the village as quickly as possible, and I will do my best to make an antidote to save your life.”
