Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian
Chapter 226 The Red Sand Scorpion Traveling
At first, he came to the Kingdom of Yu just on the way. After leaving the village, Xie began his aimless journey. He visited the endless majestic mountains of the Kingdom of Earth, and harvested the corpses of several rock ninjas along the way. I also went to the peak of the Kingdom of Thunder to listen to the majestic thunder that never ceases, and also took away a lot of puppet materials.
On his way south, he passed through the Country of Yu.
Konoha and Yun Ninja have invested tens of thousands of troops in this pleasant land and are fighting in a wonderful way. For Scorpion, this is tantamount to a gluttonous feast in front of him. He is ready to go to the fire. The plan of wandering around the country temporarily stopped in the country of Yu. He transformed into a hyena and wandered between the battlefields, happily harvesting available materials.
Since the end of the Third Ninja War, he hasn't harvested materials so easily for a long time.
The capabilities of his human puppets are extremely dependent on the ability of the 'material' itself. To give a simple example, no matter how the corpse of a genin is transformed, it will never be comparable to the Sandaime Kazekage puppet. Ordinary The mechanism can be perfected, but the blood inheritance limits and ninjutsu mastered by powerful human puppets cannot be increased through modification.
In Scorpio's mind,
The worst thing he can do for his human puppet is the corpse of a chuunin who possesses special abilities. It would be better if it were the corpse of a jounin, and the integrity should be above 70.00%. In particular, the brain and torso should not be seriously damaged. Otherwise, the chakra meridian system cannot be completely stripped off, and the various abilities that the deceased mastered during his lifetime cannot be retained.
It's a pity that Jonin is not easy to deal with. Corpses are difficult to obtain, and most of the time the corpses obtained are in tatters.
Let Scorpio's puppets accumulate slowly at a slow rate.
According to Xie's original idea, when the war between Konoha and Kumo Ninja ended and the winner was determined, he would leave the Country of Yu and continue his endless journey.
until--
He saw Susanoo.
Witnessing the amazing magical power with my own eyes, I was suddenly moved and had some thoughts about the power of the Uchiha clan. If the Uchiha clan members were made into human puppets, would they be able to retain this magical power?
But after observing it for a while,
He had to give up his extravagant thoughts. It was really difficult to get the corpses of the Uchiha clan. Many Uchihas died in this battle, but all the corpses were recovered. Unless he was with Konoha, The ninjas were facing enemies head-on, otherwise they would not have a chance to get their hands on those corpses, let alone attack Uchiha Sogenu or Uchiha Shisui who had mastered the great power of Susanoo!
But he was unwilling to give up just like that.
then,
He sneaked into the Konoha ninja camp and stole a batch of scrolls from the corpse disposal team.
"... Still not there? Tsk!"
Xie looked down and put down the last scroll, but still couldn't find the bodies of the Uchiha clan's dead. To be precise, he didn't see any corpses of the Hyuuga, Aburame and other families' war dead, although these corpses were all jounin and Especially for Jonin, strictly speaking, he did not make a loss on this transaction.
But after all, it is inevitable to have some regrets.
In the end, I couldn't get what I wanted.
The small cave was opened manually. The stone platform in the cave was neatly filled with corpses. They were all Konoha ninjas who died in this battle. Xie shook the scroll in his hand and prepared Taking these corpses back, at this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the entrance of the cave.
someone is coming!
"It's coming faster than expected!"
Scorpion muttered softly.
After stealing so many corpses from the Konoha station, he certainly thought that the Konoha ninjas might catch up, but the Konoha ninjas caught up much faster than he expected. He put down the scroll in his hand. , staring closely at the entrance of the cave.
······
"Parker, is the target here?"
Kakashi's body was close to the rock wall, and he poked his head out from the corner of the rock. He saw the cave with obvious traces of artificial digging. It was definitely not a naturally formed cave, but was dug out violently. There was still rubble piled up at the door that had not been cleared.
"The smell came from that cave, and it was also mixed with the smell of corpses."
Parker squatted on Kakashi's shoulder, stretched out his paws and rubbed his uncomfortable nose.
"call!!!"
Kakashi took a deep breath.
He didn't rush to do anything, and stretched out his hand to push up the forehead protector.Revealing the hidden scarlet eyes, he then turned to look at Uchiha Itachi and Kimimaro who were following him, "Itachi, Kimimaro, get ready, let's try to see if we can make a surprise attack! Also, puppet masters are good at using poison, so remember to protect yourself and be careful not to get caught."
Never challenge directly if you can sneak attack. This is the rule Kakashi learned in ANBU.
Ninjas fight without so many etiquette and moral constraints. As long as they can kill the opponent, any method is allowed. The most terrifying thing about the puppet master of Sunagakure Village is not how unpreventable the puppet's mechanism is, but That poison can kill people in a short time.
Almost every qualified puppet master is a qualified poison master.
In the previous war between Konoha and Sand Ninja, Konoha suffered a lot from this aspect. Fortunately, Konoha has Tsunade, one of the three ninjas. This princess of Konoha Village is the most powerful medical doctor in the ninja world today. As a ninja, she relied on her superb medical skills to prepare an antidote to restrain the Suna Ninja Puppet Master, helping Konoha quickly win the war.
"Kakashi-senpai, there is probably no chance of a sneak attack. We have probably been discovered."
Uchiha Itachi looked up at the cliff opposite, his scarlet eyes fixed on a small earth-yellow lizard lying on the rock wall. It lay there motionless and almost blended into the rock wall, but in the end There is no way to hide from the Sharingan's detection.
The chakra flowing within the lizard's body betrays its presence.
"Psychic beast?"
Kakashi followed Uchiha Itachi's line of sight and looked over, feeling awe-struck in his heart. Chakra does not exist in ordinary animals. Except for a few gifted psychic beasts, most psychic beasts are actually related to ninjas. We also need to work hard to integrate physical energy and mental energy to extract chakra.
Therefore,
90.00% of all animals with chakra flowing in their bodies are psychic beasts of ninjas.
"Has it been exposed? Damn it."
Kakashi muttered in frustration.
He was careless because he cared too much about the Red Sand Scorpion and ignored the investigation of the surrounding environment. He did not notice the lizard with an extremely weak sense of existence. If Uchiha Itachi hadn't reminded him, he might have suffered a big loss. .
"A master like the Red Sand Scorpion is not so easy to be attacked by a sneak attack. Even if we discover the lizard in advance, there is nothing we can do. No matter whether we catch or kill, we will inevitably be discovered, and there may be more around here. There are many warning measures...Kakashi-senpai, just go and take a look! Anyway, everything has been exposed."
Uchiha Itachi suggested.
"..."
Kakashi glanced at Uchiha Itachi who was calm and not panicked at all with complicated eyes.
At this time, I really understood why so many people in the Uchiha clan boasted that Uchiha Itachi was a peerless genius second only to the clan leader. Not only was he fast in opening his eyes and practicing ninjutsu, but he was also in psychological quality. Excellent.
On the contrary, I am a little bit out of sorts!
Kakashi closed his eyes slightly, took a few deep breaths, and cleared away all the messy emotions in his mind that were caused by hearing the truth about the disappearance of the Sandaime Kazekage. There was no need to think about useless things at the moment and focus on the current situation. The mission is what he should do.
"Let's go! Go see the true face of this criminal and see if he is the Red Sand Scorpion... But, having said that, Itachi, Kimimaro, you know the Red Sand Scorpion leader? What does it look like?" Kakashi remembered an important question.
How can we confirm that the target is really the Red Sand Scorpion?
Sunagakure Village has issued a wanted order for the Red Sand Scorpion. Not to mention that the wanted order was issued quite a long time ago. The photo above may not match the real person. Kakashi is not even as good as the Red Sand Scorpion. I haven’t read the wanted posters that have been issued for many years.
"I haven't seen the wanted notice of the Red Sand Scorpion, but the patriarch has said that human puppets are a unique technology of the Red Sand Scorpion. We just need to see if his puppets have chakra flowing."
Uchiha Itachi's answer made Kakashi fall into silence.
really,
Have you relaxed too much recently because the war is over?He didn't even think about such a simple thing, but wanted Uchiha Itachi, a junior, to remind him... You can't give up on exercise. It's not just physical training, spiritual practice is also necessary!
Stop the nonsense,
Kakashi bought a piece of jewelry and rushed out at the lead, heading towards the cave not far away. His scarlet Sharingan turned and he checked the ground in front of him inch by inch to make sure there were no traps before moving on. Waiting until He stopped at the entrance of the cave.
Open your eyes and look into the cave,
There are burning torches on the rock wall of the cave, which dispels the darkness in the cave and allows people to clearly see the scene in the cave, including the rough and simple stone platform with more than ten people lying on the stone platform. A corpse, and a short red-haired 'boy' standing behind the stone platform.
"So young?"
Kakashi was stunned.
The Scorpion of Chisha standing behind the stone platform is estimated to be about 160 centimeters tall. He has short red hair and a delicate appearance. If it weren't for the cold expression that doesn't look like a young man, it would be difficult to distinguish this boy from Chisha. Scorpion, an S-level rebellious ninja.
Today's Red Sand Scorpions have not yet accomplished the feat of conquering a country by themselves.
But just the various abilities he displayed when he left Sunagakure Village were enough for Suna Ninja to directly classify him as an S-class traitorous ninja. The puppets he made are still top-notch in Sunagakure Village. It is a treasure that many puppet masters will break their heads to fight for.
"Kakashi Hatake, Itachi Uchiha, Kimimaro Kaguya...it seems like my luck is pretty good!"
Xie recognized the identities of the three people who walked through the door at a glance.
As a genius who developed the forbidden art of human puppets, he is proficient in many different abilities, including the technology of reading memories. His research on the human body and soul has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. It was not very difficult for him to read the memories from the corpses of the ninjas.
As a result, a lot of information was collected, and only then could Kakashi and the others be recognized at a glance.
When he saw Kakashi and the others, Scorpion's mood changed from the previous regrets and disappointments to deep joy. He discovered the Uchiha clan members in the Konoha ninja station, but due to the environment, he did not Dare to take action to arrest people.
So after he stole the corpses stored in the corpse disposal team, he didn't clean up the remaining aura, nor did he immerse himself in running away thousands of miles away. Instead, he stayed in such a deserted ghost place and lingered, just thinking about what he could do. Can't catch a few big fish.
It was impossible for the Konoha ninjas who discovered that the body had been stolen not to react. With the skills of the Konoha ninjas, it was not difficult to find the clues he deliberately left behind. However, Konoha could not say that they mobilized an army and came out in full force. To track it down, the most likely way is to send one or two small elite troops to follow up and investigate.
As a rebellious ninja of Sand Hidden Village,
Xie is very familiar with the methods of these big ninja villages. Even though Konoha and Sand ninja cannot be directly equated, as existences of the same standard, there are many things that can be figured out, and don't forget to include Sand Hidden Village. The four major ninja villages, including the villagers, all like to copy Konoha's answers.
The Anbu system, the training of medical ninjas, and the opening of ninja schools are all like this.
"The Red Sand Scorpion?"
Kakashi asked tentatively.
"Huh? You know me?"
Scorpion was a little surprised.
Although he is an S-class rebel ninja, he has never declared his existence in a big way so far. Let alone the ninja of Konoha, even the young people of Sunagakure Village may not be able to recognize him when they stand in front of him. who is he.
Just like in the original history, Naruto and the others didn't know who Orochimaru was.
"Aren't you going to answer?" Xie raised his eyebrows, "But forget it, I'll just read the answer directly from your brains later." The moment the words fell, he suddenly raised his right hand, buried in The puppet from the ground broke out of the ground, opened its four arms, and a blade glowing with purple light popped out of the arm, and rushed towards Kakashi.
"Crack!"
Kakashi disappeared.
What was chopped into pieces by the puppet's four arms was a piece of wood.
"Replacement technique? It's really fast! But I want to see how many times you can dodge?"
The scorpion finger taps lightly.
The puppet moved accordingly, and its four arms followed a movement trajectory that was almost impossible for normal humans to kill Uchiha Itachi again. The purple-red blade was smeared with poison at a glance, and as long as it was rubbed One little guess and it will be over!
The error-free chapters of "Saving Uchiha Begins as the Clan Leader" will continue to be updated.
On his way south, he passed through the Country of Yu.
Konoha and Yun Ninja have invested tens of thousands of troops in this pleasant land and are fighting in a wonderful way. For Scorpion, this is tantamount to a gluttonous feast in front of him. He is ready to go to the fire. The plan of wandering around the country temporarily stopped in the country of Yu.
