[Naruto] The Disaster of the Red Sand Scorpion

Just when Sakura thought she was dead, the insect puppet that she thought had only eavesdropping function quietly came to the feet of the rebel ninja, and exploded with a "boom" where they couldn't see it.

The aftermath of the explosion blew up Sakura and them at the same time. Sakura hit a tree and felt pain all over her internal organs.

Her tears suddenly fell down. Sakura wiped away her tears while getting up. She knew that she couldn't just cry like before, and she should run away before those people could react.

She ran desperately in the other direction, not daring to look back, let alone stop because of the pain.

But she was still caught up.

The traitorous ninja wiped the blood from his face with a scary look in his eyes. The person carrying the scythe swung the scythe towards Sakura, and her limbs were separated with just one blow.

Sakura closed her eyes subconsciously, not to look at her miserable state.

"what!"

A scream that did not belong to her sounded, and Sakura's eyelids trembled. Then she opened her eyes and saw the group of rebel ninjas kneeling on the ground.

A tall figure stood in front of her.

"What are you going to do to us ninjas from Sunagakure Village?"

The Kazekage robe with the five characters "Sandaime Kazekage" printed on it floated in the air.

This was the last impression in Sakura's mind before she passed out.

>>>

When she woke up, Sakura, who thought she would return to her own body, was disappointed to find that she was still in Scorpion's body and was still in the hospital.

Seeing her waking up, the two people waiting aside looked at her.

The middle-aged man she saw before she fell into coma smiled gently at her, "I already know what happened from Guy. Thank you for your hard work, Scorpion."

Guy ran, but he didn't run far, but went to move reinforcements. He was lucky enough to meet the Third Kazekage who was out on business, and thanks to the Third Kazekage, Sakura was able to survive.

The Third Kazekage never thought that this seemingly indifferent young man would step forward to protect his younger generation. He thought that Xia would leave after finishing his own thing. This was Xia's usual style in the past.

But thanks to Scorpion, Guy was able to save his life.

The Third Kazekage is a bit like Grandpa Hokage of Konoha. Looking at the amiable Third Kazekage, Sakura knew that she had been saved and wanted to cry a little, but she knew that she was a Scorpion now, and she could not do anything that would damage the Scorpion's image like crying.

Seeing Sakura's expression, the Third Kazekage couldn't help but touched her head, "Just take a rest for a while and recuperate."

Sakura, who wanted to thank her, remained silent because she didn't know how to address the Third Kazekage.

After seeing off the Third Kazekage, Grandma Chiyo who stayed in the ward looked at Sakura and said abruptly: "Scorpion, this is the first time that you have made things so embarrassing."

Sakura, who was still aggrieved, suddenly became alert.

Grandma Chiyo did not continue talking, but mentioned another thing: "I put those two puppets in your room for you. I know you want to fix them yourself."

Sakura: "..." No, she doesn't know how.

Wait, what do you mean by wanting to fix it yourself? Sakura extracted key words from Grandma Chiyo's words. Do those two puppets have any significance to Mr. Scorpion? She wanted to ask, but her true identity would be exposed as soon as she asked such words.

She could only bid farewell to Grandma Chiyo in silence.

Speaking of which, she had never met Xie Jun's parents. Thinking of Sasuke-kun and Naruto's family background, Sakura had a guess.

Find an opportunity to ask Mr. Scorpion how much she needs to know about him in order to play him better.

But I don't know why, maybe because she was always woken up by pain, she didn't switch bodies with Mr. Scorpion during the past few days in the hospital.

During the few days of treatment in the hospital, she also learned the fact that Grandma Chiyo was a medical ninja, including the fact that Grandma Chiyo was also responsible for Scorpio's injuries this time.

At the same time, Sakura was forced to receive cordial greetings from the Third Kazekage, Guy, and his family. She was not able to cope with such a scene at all.

In addition, strangers would quietly come to the ward to see her every day, because they never expected to see the famous Scorpion in the hospital. It’s incredible, they want to come and see if it’s true.

To Sakura's surprise, Yashamaru, Rasa and Maki also came to visit her, although the latter two were obviously dragged over by Yashamaru.

They were holding a basket of fruit in their hands. Yashamaru put it on the bedside table and said to her with a smile: "Everyone has heard about Scorpion. It turns out that Scorpion is really a very gentle person."

It was rare that Ma Ji didn't refute this, because he didn't expect that Xie would be the kind of person who would sacrifice himself to protect his descendants. He always thought that Xie was cold and ruthless.

Sakura didn't answer because she really didn't know how Scorpion-kun would respond in this situation, and she had no reference for her. It seemed that she would have to observe Sasuke-kun more and learn from his actions after returning.

The three of them were used to Xie's indifference. It should be said that Xie's lack of taunting was enough to give them face.

"I always feel that Scorpio is different from before." This point Yashamaru mentioned made Sakura's heart tighten, fearing that her identity would be discovered.

"People always change."

Unexpectedly, Luo Sha, who had been silent until now, spoke. He glanced at Sakura and said so.

After hearing this, Ma Ji couldn't help but say: "But he is too inferior. He can't even defeat that group of people, and he still does it like this."

No, the only one who is bad is yourself. Sakura is autistic, she is really too weak.

Seeing Sakura lowering her head, Yashamaru quickly made amends: "Ah, um, Maki didn't mean any harm."

Marki also realized that it was inappropriate for him to say such words. He bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry."

Seeing that Sakura had not recovered her emotions, Yashamaru continued: "Scorpion will be discharged from the hospital soon. How about holding a welcome party for Scorpion then?"

Sakura was about to refuse without a second thought, and looked at Marky who had made cold remarks to him at first.

Marky didn't refute this time. It was obviously Sakura's behavior that impressed him.

Yashamaru didn't give her time to refuse, "That's it. Scorpio needs to communicate with people more so that he won't be misunderstood."

No, it was you who misunderstood. Sakura now sincerely hopes that she will be the one attending the welcome party.

Sakura has always been very lucky, but her body didn't change until she was discharged from the hospital.

When she was discharged from the hospital, many people came to greet her, including Grandma Chiyo, Guy, and Yashamaru, as well as some people who came to see her after hearing about her deeds.

Grandma Chiyo was also surprised, especially after Yashamaru said that they would go to celebrate Scorpio's discharge from the hospital and Scorpio did not refuse. She glanced at Sakura back and forth in confusion. When Sakura was about to lose her power, she said happily: "Just have fun."

Because they were both young, the celebration was held at a famous restaurant in Sunagakure Village, with a dessert shop next door.

Why don't you go to the dessert shop, Ying Rennian, although she knows that it is the image of Scorpion that makes everyone make such a choice.

Because Yashamaru, Guy, and Maki were there, the entire celebration would not fall into awkward silence. After all, there was one person who was taciturn, and another person who felt that talking too much would be a mistake.

"What are your dreams?"

I don’t know why, but the topic suddenly turned to this.

Most people's dreams revolve around becoming a great ninja, but Rasa clearly stated that she wanted to become the Fourth Kazekage.

The Fourth Kazekage.

Sakura felt something was wrong, but she couldn't place it.

"Where's the scorpion?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Sakura.

Sakura was a little embarrassed, she didn't know Scorpio's dream, and how could she express her dream - wanting to be Sasuke-kun's bride?

"I don't know." She could only say this in an indifferent tone.

Yashamaru sighed inwardly. Sure enough, there is still a long way to go before he can truly become friends with Scorpion.

After the welcome party, Sakura returned to Xia's house. The moment she closed the bedroom door, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been holding on to it all this time, fearing that her true self would be exposed and cause trouble to Mr. Scorpion. Now that she was finally home, she could finally relax.

Then, she saw two scattered puppets on the bed, which she had brought with her.

She picked up part of the puppet and was troubled. Mr. Scorpion didn't say how to repair the broken puppet. She should wait for Mr. Scorpion to come back and let him repair it himself.

Inadvertently, Sakura saw the photo on the bedside, and her eyes suddenly widened. She quickly picked up the photo frame and compared it with the two puppets, and was surprised to find that the two people in the photo looked similar to the puppets.

In other words, these two puppets are Scorpion's parents.

>>>

The day before the duel with the Kirigakure rebel ninja, Scorpion returned to his body.

He immediately felt something strange about his body. He looked at the bandaged body and fell into deep thought.

Without thinking too much, he directly picked up the notebook on the bedside. Obviously, the little girl clearly wrote down the whole story in the notebook.

Including the fact that she broke "father" and "mother".

According to what she said, Xia turned his attention to the neatly arranged puppets on the cabinet.

No matter how neat it is, it is still broken.

Scorpion felt irritated in his heart. To be honest, he was very angry when he saw her saying that she had ruined "father" and "mother".

Who allowed her to take these two puppets?

No matter how carefully she apologized later, he always had a sullen face.

His low pressure affected Grandma Chiyo who came to see him. She thought it was because her previous injury had not healed yet: "Scorpion, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Facing his only relative, Xie softened his expression and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Luo Sha and the others are here to find you." Grandma Chiyo was happy to hear about the problems in the relationship between Xia and Luo Sha. Firstly, Luosha was very strong, and secondly, Xie finally no longer lived alone.

Xie said "Oh" and said, "Let them go."

This completely different look from before made Chiyo's grandma look sideways. Then she saw the two puppets in Xia's hands and realized that this might be why Xia spoke evil words.

Watching Xia go straight to the laboratory, Grandma Chiyo could only sigh.

When will the knot in his heart be resolved?
