Forced to sell misery

The poisonous blades that popped out from the hands of the third generation puppets,

"You've angered me. There's no need to explain. I'll just spare your life."

The slender fingers were slightly raised, and under Scorpion's control, the wooden arms of the third-generation puppets were raised, and the wooden plates with runes opened one by one. Countless arms stretched out from them and attacked Jing Ye.

Really, is he so good at attracting hatred?

Jing Ye was simply confused. Among the four people present, Deidara was always thinking of picking up the explosive clay to give him a hard time, and Scorpion was even more so, looking at him as if he was looking at a corpse. As for Grandma Chiyo... she had no good feelings towards Jing Ye for interrupting her and her grandson's reunion.

He is really having a hard time.

He dodged the attack of the poisonous blade by leaping backwards repeatedly. The moment Jing Ye drew out his kunai to block, several puppet hands followed and were already in sight.

"Sure enough, it's very fast..."

The sharp blade on the puppet's arm cut a hole in the Fire Cloud Robe, but Jing Ye's figure disappeared in an instant.

However, what he didn't expect was that there was a third attack -

The sharp blade of the sudden poison missed its target and bounced back into the machine. A stream of purple smoke rushed out from the pipe of the puppet's arm.

Toxic smoke...

It’s true, it’s hard to guard against.

Holding his breath, Jing Ye dodged in a somewhat embarrassed manner, but the poisonous smoke spread for a longer time and over a wider range than he had imagined.

Inevitably, Jing Ye was affected by the poisonous smoke, and his body was quickly paralyzed. Jing Ye gritted his teeth.

He is afraid of poisonous smoke, but the puppet is not.

In his current state, he doesn't have the energy to avoid the puppet's upcoming attack.

The black flame ignited silently, instantly burning away the purple poisonous smoke.

"Hey? Pretty capable?"

Looking at Jing Ye, who was covering his mouth and nose and looked a little embarrassed, Scorpion raised his eyebrows.

"Scorpion, you are just like a spoiled child showing off how strong you are in front of your parents, right?"

Although this level of poisonous smoke posed no threat to him, the feeling of his body being instantly paralyzed was not pleasant. After coughing a few times, Jing Ye became angry.

The scorpion's movements froze strangely.

"Eh? Really?"

Deidara, who had been down until now, didn't know what mechanism had been triggered. At this moment, he suddenly reacted and said thoughtfully,

"It turns out that Xiedan is a child who will never grow up..."

It was like he was talking to himself, but it couldn't escape the ears of everyone present.

"Shut up or I'll kill you!"

The fight could not continue at all. Scorpion suppressed the urge to kill Deidara immediately and threatened viciously.

……

I don't know why, but the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird...subtle.

The toxic smoke also spread to other places.

Glancing at the honest Deidara with an ambiguous look, Chiyo looked at Scorpion and said slowly after the poisonous smoke had dispersed.

"Even if I live in seclusion and wait for death, I still have to go out for a walk, because there are many things that I am worried about that I can't leave peacefully."

As if she had made some kind of decision, Chiyo took out two scrolls and assumed a fighting stance.

"My grandson, it's fine if you become an accomplice of the bad guys..."

"Wait, how are we the bad guys?"

Jing Ye innocently interrupted to clear Xiao's name,

"We are an organization dedicated to world peace,"

"..."

This fight really can't go on.

For a moment, the expressions of everyone present became very... indescribable.

He has a lot to say about this. Deidara, who ran away from home at the age of 12 to prove his art and was tricked into joining Akatsuki, didn't even know that he was joining an organization with such a noble goal...

"Uchiha Jingye you..."

Deidara swallowed his rebuttal again and glanced at Grandma Chiyo cautiously, still feeling guilty.

That’s Xie Danna’s mother-in-law...so he’d better not interfere in their affairs, otherwise if Xie Danna really gets angry, it would be very scary, hmm.

Glancing at little Deidara, Jing Ye tilted his head and watched the way Chiyo and Sasori got along. He felt as if he had accidentally discovered the truth.

It’s like when a child does something wrong, the parents criticize and educate him, saying that it was other disobedient children who told our baby not to play with them anymore.

Grandma Chiyo loves Scorpion very much, but the way she loves him is indulgent.

Although he knew it was wrong to hide the truth from Scorpio about his parents, the young Scorpio still hoped for his parents to come back.

Until finally all the expectations and love turned into resentment and hatred that had nowhere to go...

This is no one's fault, so this is the saddest thing.

——It is indeed cruel, but as I said before, although the revelation of the truth is cruel, we still have to face the wound bravely. Escaping and concealing cannot solve the problem, but will push the person we love further and further away.

Really, each and every one of them is so awkward.

……

Granny Chiyo unfolded the two scrolls in her hands bit by bit, and accompanied by a puff of smoke, two ordinary puppets appeared in front of everyone.

"Ah, that's it."

Scorpion narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in that nonchalant tone, but it made people feel inexplicably dangerous.

"You still remember."

Grandma Chiyo also felt a little emotional. After so many twists and turns, she finally came to this point.

"Ah, I still remember it."

Scorpion restrained all expressions and swept his gaze across the two exquisite puppets, a man and a woman, and then returned to Grandma Chiyo.

"Yes, this is the first puppet you created." Carefully observing Scorpion's expression, Chiyo slowly and solemnly said the names of the two puppets.

"Dad, and Mom."

Hearing this long-lost name, Scorpion was slightly stunned.

It was as if I had returned to that childhood time, when a lonely child was alone in a quiet room, controlling two puppets called parents to come closer to me, and holding the little child in the middle in my arms, hoping to get a bit of the warmth I once had.

But puppets are just puppets after all. They can't laugh and have no temperature, so they can't give him the warmth he wants.

"At this time, why are you still taking that out?"

Don't you think it's too late?

Scorpion tilted his head slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, but this smile did not have any warmth at all, instead it seemed cold and sarcastic.

"Those are puppets I made. I am very familiar with them."

Inexplicable anger surged up, and there was an urge to destroy and ruin. Scorpion said coldly,

"It's so boring."

"Is that so?"

When it comes to attacking the heart, no one can beat Grandma Chiyo who has lived to this age.

Looking at the grandparents and grandchildren competing with each other, Jing Ye was slightly distracted. It seemed that he had done something wrong again.

"Even so, I still cannot forgive you for betraying the village..."

Looking at Scorpion who looked like he didn't care, Chiyo clenched her hands, but still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"Let's end this now!"

The father and mother puppets placed their palms together, pulled out a thin steel wire, and under the control of Granny Chiyo, rushed towards Scorpion.

Scorpion raised his hand, and the third generation puppet blocked the two puppets.

The dancing fingers control the puppet, and every subtle operation hides murderous intent, which is far more artistic and beautiful than a fight between real people.

Accompanied by the harsh sounds of weapons clashing, the battle between the puppets was like a display of art, dazzling yet secretly frightening.

Although it is called art, it cannot conceal the fact that the puppet with swords and venom hidden in its mechanism is a combat machine.

But it is indeed beautiful.

The broken sword fell to the ground, making a crisp "clang" sound.

Sweat ran down her forehead and Grandma Chiyo's fingers trembled slightly.

But this tremor did not affect her superb control of the puppet in combat at all.

Inexplicably, Jing Ye sighed and suddenly said,

"Granny Chiyo is a person who says one thing and means another. She clearly wants to keep Scorpion, but she's too embarrassed to say it out loud."

"Shut up,"

The movements of his hands slowed down for a moment, and Xie stared at Jing Ye, speaking slowly, word by word.

"If you say one more word of nonsense, I will kill you."

"Well, it's my fault."

Not wanting to argue any further, Jing Ye finally decided to intervene.

"I brought you to see Scorpion, firstly because of the agreement with Sunagakure, and secondly, I hope that the meeting between you grandparents can help resolve your knot. Although you don't say it, I think you must still love each other."

Looking at Grandma Chiyo, Jing Ye sighed with mixed feelings.

"If I'm wrong, that's fine."

He said meaninglessly,

"But, if you, Chiyo-chan, are here to meet Scorpion with the intention of clearing your house, then I will definitely stand on Scorpion's side."

"Although I have no right to interfere in your affairs, after all, today's situation was caused by me."

"You don't need to interfere in my affairs," Scorpion sneered, and hooked his finger. With a sound of mechanism, the third generation puppet opened its mouth, and the black sand particles gradually condensed and turned into spikes.

"Magnet Release·Satetsu Shigure!"

Under the traction of magnetism, several sand cones rushed towards Jing Ye at an extremely fast speed.

"That's it."

Looking at Xie, Jing Ye sighed, and instantly appeared behind Grandma Qiandai, and put his hand on Grandma Qiandai's shoulder.

It seems that it still doesn't work. He interferes too much, which makes things worse.
