Chosen Son Haruno Sakura

He chases eternity.

It was an illusory dream, and this essence was cruelly told from the very beginning, but the shortness and fragility of human life are indisputable facts that have been deeply imprinted in my heart since childhood.

--That's ridiculous.

It's so ridiculous.

He watched Chiyo quietly and said to him cautiously, "The situation on the battlefield is very stalemate, Mom and Dad are too busy...", Scorpion said aloud, driven by some psychology.

"Obviously know, they can't come back."

He looked at Chiyo with a panicked look, and calmly stated the fact that she had tried her best to cover up in front of him.

"What's the need to hide, mother-in-law."

It's just death.

It's just... death.

War, blood, death, hatred, anger, grief, human life is fragile and short, but they are still desperately throwing themselves into the battlefield like a huge wheel, even if they will be crushed to pieces by that thing in an instant.

"You are a genius."

"The scorpion is coming! We are sure to win!"

"The village...the village, for the village!"

He was tightly covered by the members of the fighting team, until his pupils collapsed and his blood became cold, his protective posture remained unwavering.

Ahhh.

This is... life.

He wiped the blood from his cheek, and the dry wind brushed his face with gravel.Scorpion looked down at the dry brown marks on his fingertips, and closed his eyes slightly.

People who are alive, vivid, and actually exist.

Why does it seem so weak in front of the times?

He stood silently in front of the corpses of his companions, then stretched out his hands and closed their eyes for them.

"Go to sleep," Scorpion said, with dark shadows in his eyes, which are the ashes left after everything was burned by the flames of war, "then, find peace."

"Scorpion!" Futo, who has not yet become the third Kazekage, called out to the walking figure in front of him. He saw the red-haired boy who stopped and turned to look at him, he was relieved and at the same time showed a joyful smile.

"It's been hard this time." He said, "If it weren't for the scorpion, the northern battlefield would really be impossible to calm down."

"The responsibility lies." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion replied indifferently. "I am a sand ninja, so it is only natural to protect the sand ninja."

Fengdou opened his mouth and said something, but Xie couldn't hear it.

What did he say.

By the way, what he said was...

"But, I want Scorpio to be my partner."

"I keep doing this, Xie must be very lonely, I will work hard to build a village where Xie can have a sense of belonging!"

A guy who talks to himself, and rather loud, but...he's not annoying.

He used to believe in Fengdou, because Fengdou had such eyes.

Resolute and confident, shining beautifully, his eyes made him feel that if it was this guy, he might be able to get close to him.

Then, war came again.

"Three Kazekage-sama died in battle."

Scorpion silently looked at the corpses on the ground. After the brutal battle, the wounds were everywhere, leaving only him and Fengdou who was about to die.

"sorry."

"Xie,...the village." Feng Dou opened his eyes wide, and stretched out his hand towards Xie, speaking intermittently, ethereal and nothingness.

"Make me a puppet... a scorpion."

"sorry."

The outstretched arm suddenly dropped.

Sorry, I broke my promise.

I want to protect everyone, even if I become a puppet, if it is a scorpion, there must be no problem...

as well as.

Sorry, you're alone again.

The red sand scorpion understood.

So he laughed.

The laughter became louder and hoarse, and the red sand scorpion's palm brushed against his cheek, dry and rough as always, and a few tiny particles on his fingertips were blown off by the wind and annihilated in the desert.

so small.

He stood on the sand dune, watching the corpses of countless ninjas from the same village sinking and floating in the quicksand, and then gradually being swallowed up.

When his fingertips touched the cold scroll, he stroked it and put it back into his sleeve. The red-haired boy turned his head with an indifferent expression.

He watched the support from the village run over from a distance, the gray robes flew up, and the talented puppet master disappeared into the endless sea of ​​sand under the shocked eyes of Sand Ninja.

[The red sand scorpion, defected---! 】

How insignificant, human.

Scorpion looked down at his hands, and then stretched them towards Fengdou's body.

Since this is your wish.

Although she is a traitor, she has never taken on any mission that is not good for Sagakushi. The Chiyo mother-in-law who knows some truths may have sensed something, and she has given up the idea of ​​looking for him again.

That's good, he thought.The body is cold, only the core of the heart still has the warmth of a living person.

I have become an eternity. If the scene of eternal separation between man and nature is not staged in front of my eyes, maybe it will not be so unforgettable.

He joined Akatsuki. If Fengdou was still alive, he probably wouldn't sit back and watch the development of this kind of organization, but who can say for sure now, after so many years, the ninja world is still the same, maybe this is also considered The eternal kind?

The Scarlet Sand Scorpion let out a cold snort, Fei Liuhu showed his icy sharp blade, and the man opposite chuckled. "Yu Nu, I thought our goals were the same...?"

"Not anymore." Scorpion sat in the crimson amber, tapping the inner shell with cold fingers. "I want to pursue eternal art, and I have nothing to say to madmen."

Orochimaru looked at the Red Sand Scorpion in surprise, then lowered his gaze, and smiled meaningfully again, "I see."

"Art is eternity."

Only madmen pursue eternity.

There was really nothing to talk about between the two lunatics.

It seems that time has become a meaningless number, the boundary between day and night is no longer disturbing, and the feelings that are not rich at all seem to be diluted like white water by the passing time.

Even if he got a child-like Didara as a partner, Scorpion couldn't really frown. He looked at the little golden retriever who was furious when he mentioned Suzaku Uchiha Itachi, and mercilessly knocked on Didara's feverish head with his tail. Head melon.

The appearance of "alive" can only be felt suddenly when this kind of partner is struggling to die.

If everything passes like this, until one day you learn of the death of your partner, and then calmly wait for the arrival of the newcomer, or if you finally get tired of such days, and finally research a more eternal puppet—this is not impossible .

The road to eternity is too long and too narrow. Some people don't even know that they are going to a dead end from the very beginning. Some people avoid the murderous opportunity early but get stuck in the middle. Some people know that there is a desperate situation ahead and never intend to stop.

Because those who pursue eternity are all lunatics.

But even a lunatic...

There will also be things that catch you off guard.

"Good eyes." Scorpion glanced at the girl who had fought Gaara to the point of exhaustion, her expression moved slightly, and after a while, she remained calm.

It's not that the Red Sand Scorpion hasn't seen such a person for so many years, but this one is the most interesting.

Funny enough...he wants to be a human puppet again.

"Is there still time for Dana not to be a human puppet?" Didara said casually, seeing that Xie didn't mean to explain anything, he put the matter behind him.

Xie picked up the blue gemstone and looked at it for a while, only to feel that this dead thing has no aesthetic feeling, and it can't be compared with the eyes of a real person at all, so he felt agitated, and he was thrown aside the precious mineral in a blink of an eye.

You still need to go there yourself.

He coldly thought that if it disappoints people, there is nothing wrong with breaking it off early. If there is value for growth, then he also has plenty of time to wait for the harvest.

However, it turns out that she is good material worth suppressing.

Time and him are useless things. To Scorpion, exchanging useless things for an unusually interesting collection that might not be as powerful as Fengdou, but a second one that arouses his interest and is willing to shape it himself, is the best deal for Scorpion. business.

What's more, this guy...

"Hey, scorpion." The girl with cherry hair was lying on the ground, dust mixed with sweat dripping down her face, and her emerald eyes were shining brightly.

"Is it possible that what you are after is the most ideal death?"

He paused, and didn't give her an answer immediately, but he also smiled after a long absence.

Fun, really fun.

Why do you think so? How do you know such a thing that grows in a greenhouse and has never been stained with other people's blood?

Haruno Sakura is far more interesting than he thought.

He looked at the girl with the knife sheathed in front of him, and the moment he realized that his thoughts had changed, the red sand scorpion understood.

The roles are completely reversed. The rough stone that should be polished and the craftsman who polished the rough stone are actually himself who is almost changed in the end?

——It's a pity that the time is too short.

Really too short.

"If the ninja becomes a rebellious ninja, he probably won't return to the village." Haruno Sakura leaned on the tree, talking to Xie as if chatting.

"After all, between the ninja and the village, once its brand is imprinted, it will be like a curse-like fate, and it will be entangled until death—"

she said softly.

"That's it, a boring but helpless relationship."

When the girl said this, her expression was indifferent and calm, as if what she had just confided by herself was nothing more than ordinary words like "today's sun is really strong".

"You think of that Uchiha in the team?" Scorpion brushed away the broken hair that blocked his view, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Who knows." She turned her head, looked at the red sand scorpion, and said calmly.

"Maybe it's because you are also a traitor..."

The red sand scorpion's expression moved slightly.

"And I will only be Konoha's ninja."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Why did you come? You know..."

"Why can't I come." Scorpion stared at her and said softly, his gray eyes flickered, reflecting Haruno Sakura's silent and determined expression, so his mood relaxed slightly.

Xiao's plan was already clear, and he didn't want to participate in it anymore. Although he was a little hasty, he really couldn't think of a better moment that would make him think like this.

Such a stage, such a repertoire, and such participants are far from being artistic, but they can be recognized so-so.

——Just today, the red sand scorpion will surely die here.

As a rebellious ninja of Sand Yin, he died at the hands of Konoha ninja.

That's it.

He half closed his eyes, watching Haruno Sakura standing in front of him.

The girl lowered her eyes, the original blue color was stained with deep mist, but she herself didn't seem to realize how gloomy her face was.

The red sand scorpion raised the corners of its mouth and smiled for a moment before returning to normal.

Ren Ren will naturally not return to his own village, but the destination of Ren Ren is destined to be witnessed by the village in the past.

Just like what she said, it was such a boring and helpless relationship.

"Haruno Sakura."

"I'm here." The girl responded.

"Six Paths Payne...No, Mami."

His tone was light, and it was no surprise that she opened her eyes slightly, which on the contrary diluted the obscurity in her pupils.

Just let me, a traitorous ninja, help you one last time, Konoha's ninja.

"I don't want to... have no peace."

Art is eternity, and those who pursue eternity are lunatics, and only lunatics can pursue eternity in the hopeless situation of endless sky.

But ah.

"Let me exist in eternity, Haruno Sakura."

Only this time, it probably really succeeded.

Bye now.

"I know you can do it."

I believe you can do it.

The Red Sand Scorpion closed his eyes, his consciousness finally sank into the darkness completely.

He finally got eternity.

Haruno Sakura quietly watched the hand stop in front of her, then her gray eyes lost their luster, and finally her cold arm was unable to hang down.

it's over.she thinks.

Haruno Sakura lowered her eyes, and smiled stiffly when she heard Chiyo say "If she was born ten years earlier...".

Everything about the sand hidden ninja and the Konoha ninja has been...

ended.

I promise you, I will give you an eternal sleep without being disturbed.
