Hokage: Rebirth to Love

Back at the hospital's rehabilitation site, Akasha Scorpion asked Haruno Sakura to put the two puppet dolls on the ground and sit on a chair to rest.

Because on the way back, a gluttonous cherry saw red bean ball soup, and then ate several bowls in the store, then met a few juniors, and chatted with them for a while, the red sand scorpion wanted to go back first, but the little girl He dragged himself not to let him go, so under the strange force of the little girl, he waited for a long time with a dark face.

To apologize, Haruno Sakura went to buy something to drink.

The red sand scorpion sat on a chair, trying to refine chakra.

Fortunately, my body is recovering well, at least I have chakra, and the next step is to practice, try to use the chakra line.

When Haruno Sakura came back with the drink, she looked at the chakra line on the right hand of the red sand scorpion with surprise.

God, isn't this guy recovering too quickly? !

However, the Red Sand Scorpion was sweating from his forehead.

I didn't expect that I couldn't even control the chakra lines well, but it was so difficult to distribute the chakra lines to the fingers, and it took a lot of effort to connect the chakra lines to the puppet continuously.

Haruno Sakura stared blankly at the red sand scorpion gently shaking his fingers, and the puppet connected by the chakra line also moved slowly.

Although she had seen Chiyo and the Red Sand Scorpion controlling the puppet before, Haruno Sakura still felt amazing just watching the Red Sand Scorpion slowly controlling the puppet.

Sensing the little girl's arrival, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion held back the sweat on his forehead and glanced at her.

Hey, I'm really in a mess like this, I'm ashamed of the puppet artist.

Haruno Sakura noticed the sweat on the scorpion of red sand, put down the drink in her hand, and sat beside him.

"I said, even if you want to recover quickly, you don't force yourself like this." Haruno Sakura persuaded him nicely, "Too anxious will be counterproductive. You also know medical ninjutsu, so you should be clear."

The red sand scorpion withdrew the chakra thread in his hand, and put his face in front of Haruno Sakura.

"What, what are you doing?" Haruno Sakura stammered a little as she looked at the face that suddenly approached her. The moment her eyes met the Red Sand Scorpion, she unconsciously looked away.

"Sweating." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion said expressionlessly.

ha? !

Haruno Sakura turned her gaze back, and then saw the beads of sweat on the cheek of the Red Sand Scorpion.

This guy, do you want to wipe his sweat yourself? !

It's not like he doesn't have hands!

However, he felt the red sand scorpion's slightly rapid breathing. It must be because he had worked too hard with the chakra thread just now, and he didn't get used to it all at once, and he couldn't control it well, so even his breathing was a little unsteady.

Haruno Sakura pursed her lips, took out a tissue with some dissatisfaction, and raised her hand to wipe his sweat.

Slowly rubbing to the corner of the eyes, at some point, the eyes of the red sand scorpion became focused and bright, and Haruno Sakura suddenly felt that her breathing was a little unsteady, and because she wiped her sweat, she got a little closer.

The distance between the two at this moment is no more than the size of a fist, and they seem to be able to feel each other's breathing.

In particular, the expression of the red sand scorpion is really hard for Haruno Sakura to understand.

The already beautiful eyes were different from the previous brilliance, more like something gathered in the pupils, and there was a familiar pink face in the pupils.

This seemed to be the first time seeing the red sand scorpion's eyes so focused.

Haruno Sakura felt her heart skip a beat, she hastily straightened her back, and moved a little to the side calmly.

"Hey, I bought you a drink." Haruno Sakura picked up the drink and handed it to the Red Sand Scorpion, but turned her head away.

The Red Sand Scorpion took the drink and looked away.

"How is it?" The Scarlet Sand Scorpion suddenly asked.

Haruno Sakura didn't know why, she tilted her head and looked at him, what's the matter?

"Would you like to learn the puppet technique from me?" the Red Sand Scorpion asked.

Haruno Sakura lowered her head in thought.

Although he said that he was doing well now, he never thought that the Scarlet Sand Scorpion would want him to learn puppet art from a teacher.

Puppetry.

Haruno Sakura remembered the time when Grandma Chiyo and Scorpion used puppetry to fight.

Very powerful, very exciting.

But I never thought about learning puppetry.

Haruno Sakura thought about it and decided it was better to refuse.

"..." Haruno Sakura was about to speak, when the red sand scorpion said again: "At the beginning, the old woman taught me some fur, and found that I have a great talent for puppetry, and then she just gave me a lot of books and a puppet warehouse to let me go." I study by myself."

The Red Sand Scorpion said calmly: "But after I made 'Father and Mother', she seldom took the initiative to teach me."

Haruno Sakura was a little surprised when the Scarlet Sand Scorpion took the initiative to talk about himself.

"Why, why?" As the grandmother of the Scarlet Sand Scorpion, shouldn't she spend more time with him?

"Heh." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion chuckled, "She doesn't dare, she's afraid."

"Don't dare? Afraid?" Haruno Sakura didn't understand.

"Of course." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion looked up at the sky, "All along, she told me that my parents had some mission to leave, and she always told me to wait."

The Red Sand Scorpion clenched the drink bottle in her hand, "She thought I would believe it once or twice, but did I not notice if she said too much?"

Haruno Sakura understood.

Grandma Chiyo once said that she had done a lot of wrong things, presumably, it was related to scorpions.

"When she found out that I already knew that my parents were gone, and I didn't say anything, she simply took the task and pushed me away." The red sand scorpion looked at the sky, Haruno Sakura couldn't see his emotion.

"Perhaps, Grandma Chiyo herself doesn't know how to face you." Haruno Sakura thought slightly embarrassed.

"Heh, who knows." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion turned his head and saw a pair of young parents walking on the road with their child at the same time.

Once, I also had such a life, but later, it became a life of sitting alone in front of the window and watching other children, and finally, I was addicted to making puppets and poison.

"Then you don't have any friends?" Haruno Sakura asked.

Although he was a partner with that Didara in Akatsuki, but before entering Akatsuki?Don't have any friends to stop him?Or……

"Friend." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion muttered the word, as if recalling, "Ah, there used to be one."

The Scarlet Sand Scorpion remembered that noisy person.

"But it's dead."

died……

To be honest, Haruno Sakura didn't have too many surprises.

"What, dead?"

"Poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Haruno Sakura was in disbelief. Could it be a poison that could not be cured?But Grandma Chiyo and the Scorpion of Red Sand are both medical ninjas, how could that be?

Seeing Haruno Sakura's doubts, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion told her, "I poisoned him."

"Eh?!" Haruno Sakura was taken aback.Although he knew that he would kill even his companions, since as his friend, he must be a different existence, how could he poison his friend?

The Scarlet Sand Scorpion rarely explained, "He lost his right hand during a mission. I made him a puppet arm, but when he went on a mission later, he was poisoned by the mechanism I made in his arm."

"Then, then you didn't save him?" Haruno Sakura's eyes widened. How could he not detoxify the poison he injected himself, or is there something hidden?

"It was the old woman who cured him first, but how could she be cured so easily by the poison I gave him?" The Red Sand Scorpion seemed to be a little complacent, "It was too late when I found out about it, so of course I didn't." saved."

Haruno Sakura lowered her eyes, it turned out to be like this.

"Then, you must be very sad, right?" The best friend died because of the poison he poisoned.

"I didn't feel much." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion stroked his chin and said, "Later his mother went crazy and asked me to return her son to her."

"How is this possible?" Haruno Sakura couldn't believe it.

"Maybe." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion looked at her, "I made her son a human puppet."

Haruno Sakura was stunned.

puppet...

Scorpion made his friend into a human puppet.

She remembered how a puppet was made, so, that person...

"Don't look at me with that expression." The Red Sand Scorpion said, "That woman insisted that I return her son. I did it."

"Yes!" Haruno Sakura felt like she wanted to speak, but something blocked her throat.

"She knows that her son is dead, and I'm not a god. She just doesn't want to believe it." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion looked at her indifferently, "At least her son can always be with her."

This, can this be the same? !

Haruno Sakura even felt her breathing speed up.

Wait!

Haruno Sakura suddenly thought of something, and she suddenly asked with a serious face, "Did you become a 'father and mother' at the beginning, and even later made yourself a puppet, did you want to be like your parents?!"

The Scarlet Sand Scorpion was paused by her words.

"Pfft, how is that possible." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion sneered, "Make yourself a puppet, just for the sake of art, what's more, with such a body, you can have more aggressive organs, and you don't even need to worry about getting hurt. , can control more puppets, haven't you seen it before?"

"But..." Haruno Sakura was about to say something, but the Scarlet Sand Scorpion had already stood up, with her back turned to her.

"I'm hungry, I'm going back." After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the ward without even taking the puppet he bought.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Haruno Sakura hurriedly grabbed the puppet and chased after it.
