[Naruto] The Disaster of the Red Sand Scorpion

Which is art, the fleeting moment or the eternal beauty?

According to Sakura, anything beautiful is art, whether it is momentary or eternal.

Sakura, who thought this way, did not reply immediately because she felt that Mr. Scorpion was not simply asking her questions about artistic concepts. It involved Mr. Scorpion's life and was a very important question.

Sakura put this question aside for the time being, and decided to ask people she knew well first to see what they thought.

Originally, she wanted to ask her two teammates first, but Naruto might not even understand her question, let alone Sasuke-kun, who might look confused. Neither of these two people have any artistic ability.

So she walked directly towards the flower shop, but unexpectedly, he met Kakashi on the way.

Thinking that Kakashi-sensei, as an adult, would have a different opinion, Sakura asked Kakashi expectantly.

Kakashi looked at her seriously for a few times, and after realizing that she was asking him seriously, he raised his head and looked at the sky, "Well, Sakura should accompany the teacher to a place first."

Um? Sakura, who was confused, followed Kakashi to the place where they first grabbed the bell, and she discovered that there was a more conspicuous stone here.

what is this?

"This is the Memorial Monument."

The commemorative monument has the names of countless heroes who sacrificed their lives for the village and the ninja world engraved on it. Many ninjas died in the line of duty at a young age, some even around the same age as Sakura.

Sakura read the names on the memorial tablet one by one, and she suddenly understood why Kakashi-sensei brought her here. He was using actions to answer the questions she had asked before.

Although she understood Kakashi's intention, Sakura still didn't know what he wanted to express.

"Here lies my old friend."

Sakura was stunned for a moment when she heard what Kakashi said. She raised her head. He put his hands in his pockets and turned his back to her, so that she could not see his expression clearly.

Sakura forgot when she left, and when she came to her senses again, she had arrived at Ino's flower shop.

Ino asked casually: "Why are you so distracted?"

"I just went to the Memorial Monument." Sakura thought for a while and told Ino what happened. "I always feel very depressed."

Ino had an epiphany, and she teased, "It's human nature to be afraid of death. I didn't expect that someone as powerful as you would worry about such a thing."

Sakura shook her head, thinking of the Wave Country mission. If Naruto hadn't exploded, if Haku hadn't blocked Zabuza's damage, the three of them might have really died.

She didn't realize it at the time, but after seeing Teacher Kakashi's slightly lonely back, she suddenly felt an inexplicable discomfort.

Ino still didn't know that Sakura had different thoughts from them. She guessed Kakashi's intention: "Kakashi-sensei probably meant that their lives are short, but their names are immortal and will always be remembered by us."

"Do you remember it?"

Sakura suddenly realized, "I understand, thank you, Ino!"

"Wait? What do you understand?" Ino was confused as he watched Sakura run away.

After parting ways with Ino, Sakura returned home.

She combined what Kakashi-sensei and Ino said and began to think about how to reply to Mr. Scorpion.

Immortal...

Sakura learned from Ino that Mr. Scorpion hates fireworks. Looking at the suffix of eternity he mentioned is "beautiful", it is obvious that he loves eternity.

Speaking of which, is this also the reason why he chose to make puppets?

Sakura turned her attention to the puppet she made on the table, and then she discovered that there was a scroll next to the puppet. Under the scroll was a note with Scorpion's message written on it.

The general idea is that she did a good job as a puppet, and it would be even better if she could be coated with poison.

What, what if someone accidentally touches it and gets poisoned? She still prefers face-to-face confrontation than using poison.

Lord Scorpion seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He changed the topic next and said that he knew she wouldn't do this, but at least he had to add something else to the puppet. The attack power was too weak. There was something added to the puppet on the scroll. The basic methods of attack and defense need to be explored by herself further.

That's right, you can't just spit out kunai from your mouth, it's too easy to dodge. But Sakura thought that Scorpion Lord would help her transform, but did she let her do it herself? How stingy.

Although she thought so in her heart, the corners of Sakura's mouth curved involuntarily.

Sakura, who was still worried about how to reply, couldn't control the smile on her face and wrote this paragraph.

Xie saw what Sakura had written and roughly knew what happened. He did not reply immediately, but looked at the bedroom where he was.

Because of Sakura's presence, she didn't like the boring and empty room, so she discussed adding some decorations to the room with Xia, and he agreed without a care.

So there were some strange things in the originally empty room. A calendar hung on the wall with beautiful wallpaper, and underneath was a huge full-length mirror, and under the mirror was a carpet. There are several potted plants placed in the corner next to the window, and wind chimes are hung on the window lattice.

Everything is incompatible with Scorpion himself.

It's not like a serious ninja should behave either.

According to her words, you don't have to deal with things casually at home like you do outside. Home should feel like home.

Boring.

Xie opened the window, and the wind chimes were blown by the wind, making a crisp and sweet sound.

Outside the window is the yellow sand all over the sky, and above the yellow sand is the rising sun.

He probably knew how to reply to her.
