[Hokage] Fluorescent lamp

Didara and I have been out of the range of the Kingdom of the Wind, to a place not far from the Kingdom of the Wind.

It was a grotto behind a torii gate, and the opening of the cave was blocked by a huge rock with a seal.

Of course I won't break this kind of seal, who knows what Scorpion has done in the Xiao organization behind my back.Unlocking the seal will be done by Didara, and I followed Didara into the grotto without saying a word.

The cave is a sealed space that is bigger than I imagined, as if it almost hollowed out the mountain, it is huge enough to accommodate countless people.

Payne's phantom stood in the cave.Because I offended him before, when I saw him, I looked away with guilt.

Payne didn't talk nonsense. After Iptail Jinjurik was put down, he quickly made a few seals that I haven't seen.The roar echoed in the cave, and the huge statue whose hands were shackled broke through the rock and slowly rose.

The phantoms of other people in Akatsuki's organization then appeared on the fingers of the statue. I observed carefully, and they seemed to be standing on the fingers where their respective rings were worn.

Didara and I jumped to the positions of "green" and "jade" respectively. Although I didn't know what to do, I followed suit and stood at the position of the left thumb of the statue to make a seal.

Next to me is Hiduan, he rarely looks peaceful, probably not long after being beaten up by Uncle Kakuzu.

I coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

The phantom of Fei Duan expressed his surprised expression very realistically: "Of course it is the Chakra that transmits me. Hey, Scorpion, have you been brain-dead by that guy Deng?"

I silently twitched my tail towards him.

Unexpectedly, Didara also nodded in agreement: "I think so too, Uncle Scorpion is super weird today, um."

I told the truth: "Well, I was dropped."

To tell the truth, Didara couldn't believe it even more. He stood at the position of the right index finger of the statue, and since I couldn't hit him, he started to look big or small.

"Uncle Scorpion, do you think I'm stupid, eh!"

Deidara pointed at me and shouted, "It's not that I can't distinguish the chakra fluctuations of the transformation technique!"

I gave him a blank look.

Are you stupid or something, I don't know if your partner is not a scorpion before entering the hidden sand.

Others naturally didn't care about this farce, and only Uncle Kakuzu gave me a meaningful look.

I think he sees that I'm not a scorpion anymore.

But he didn't say it, and I don't know why.

Next, chakra will be continuously transmitted to the statue for three whole days. With the continuous output of chakra, the tail of pure energy body will be sucked into the mouth of the statue from the body of Renzhuli. I should probably be thankful that I am a puppet. After three days of exhaustion, I didn't feel exhausted.

On the contrary, Didara, after everything was over, sat down tiredly on the corpse of Sayin Jinzhuriki.

Didara kept moving his remaining right hand, and complained repeatedly: "Ah, it's really troublesome to do this every time, um. For three days in a row, my shoulders are stiff, um."

I looked at his disrespectful behavior towards the corpse and silently turned my eyes away.

Didara propped his chin with one hand and muttered, "Uncle Scorpion, it's not bad for you to be like Deng Deng, eh."

I heard my name from his mouth, and asked him with a sideways glance, "how is it?"

"You are puppets, puppets don't suffer from sore muscles like humans, um." Didara nodded while talking, "And it won't grow old, and the lamp is really waiting for you as promised. I grow up, eh!"

That's not what I want to wait for you...

I am speechless, if the real scorpion hears these words, he will beat him to death.

When Didara couldn't help but yawned in sleepiness, there was finally movement outside the grotto.

The huge rock blocking the torii gate was crushed by some unknown move. Didara yawned halfway before he could take it back. Hearing the movement outside, he quickly became serious.

It looks kind of funny.

I suppressed the desire to laugh at Didara and deliberately looked towards the cave entrance with a straight face. The people outside escaped the broken and fallen stones and entered the grotto one by one.

One, two, three, four... three of the four are acquaintances.

The one who bears the brunt is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto who failed to capture together with the Itachi Boy in the Land of Fire a few years ago. I still remember that kid was so deceitful, but now he has grown a lot, and he seems to have lost his past That silly energy, but still impulsive.

I don't know the little girl with pink hair next to him, maybe Naruto Uzumaki's teammate?I heard that Konoha's system is three ninjas in a class, and the class is led by a jounin.The class will not be disbanded until they are also promoted from lower ninja to jonin.

Sand Yin does not have such a system, and Scorpion and I followed Jonin alone on missions back then.

After the little girl with pink hair was Hatake Kakashi who let him off last time, but he hasn't changed much.But maybe it's not on Konoha's territory now, he looks a lot more nervous than the last time I saw him.

In the end, there was the old man whom I had not seen for 20 years, who had left the same country as me, and was left alone in the desert by the scorpion.

Grandma Chiyo.

I am even more grateful for the decision I made, if the person who met Grandma Chiyo was a real scorpion.With Scorpion's stubborn and stubborn personality, I'm afraid the trouble will end without end.

"Hey, Deidara."

I called him.

Didara sat on the body of Injuriki and looked sideways at me: "Huh?"

"Nine-tailed brat, can I handle it with you?"

Didara stretched out his index finger and scratched his cheek: "Uncle Xie, did you take the initiative to tell me to leave it to me, um. I wanted to talk to you just now because I was afraid you would be angry, um."

... How could I be angry? I'm not a scorpion.

I lowered my eyes and replied in Fei Liuhu's hoarse voice: "Then don't let me down, get out of here."

Deidara's eyes flashed with the clean and bright light that you get when you finally encounter something interesting, and the big white bird spread its wings differently from when it caught Jinchuriki, but it was equally delicate.Shiratori swallowed Jinchuriki's body, Deidara jumped on the bird's back and turned around to look in my direction.

"Then I'm going, um."

"Get out now."

Shiratori flew out of the grotto, and as I thought, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Hatake Kakashi chased Didara out together.

It's a bit of a hindrance to keep a little girl...but forget it.

After everyone who got in the way left, Grandma Chiyo finally let out a sigh.

"I heard from Kankuro that one of the two Akatsuki members who took Gaara away was called Scorpion. At that time, I wondered if it was you."

I looked at her sideways: "I remember you retired a long time ago."

Grandma Qiandai chuckled twice: "Isn't it okay if you want to see your long-lost grandson?"

... The problem is that I am not your grandson.

Grandma Chiyo, who was exhausted overnight after Scorpion's defection, seemed to be decades old, was actually in a good state of mind 20 years later, and even had the energy to argue with me at this moment.

I sneered and looked up.

The pink-haired little girl was not a ninja who had killed people at first glance. The moment her eyes met, she was frightened by the murderous look and backed away.

I shook my head: "Does a retired old woman and a little girl who hasn't even killed anyone want to defeat me?"

Grandma Chiyo took out a bunch of kunai connected by chakra lines from her bosom: "It's enough for me here, Sakura, you step back."

The little girl named Sakura looked at Grandma Chiyo worriedly.

Grandma Chiyo used to be a strong man who caused headaches for countless countries in the ninja war. She used the sword to throw the endless suffering linked by the chakra line to the enemy. When I was taught by Grandma Chiyo, I was still beckoning Suffered.

However, Feiliuhu is a puppet that integrates offense and defense after all. With a wave of its long iron tail, Kunai, who had hit me several times, was completely blocked.

"This is not your body."

Grandma Chiyo asked, "Is your body hidden there?"

I am silent.

The little girl began to ask what was going on, and Grandma Qiandai explained the same thing, but it was completely different from the reason why Xiezi made the puppet in the first place.

Grandma Qiandai thinks that this is to make up for the puppet master's lack of melee combat ability. In fact, Feiliuhu is just a disguise that the cautious scorpion initially made to avoid the pursuit of Sha Yin.

The shape of Feiliuhu is like the name of the red sand scorpion, with a sharp blade that is enough to kill a person with this blow.

It's a pity that I haven't seen the battle of Feiliuhu in its full form, so I can only rely on the memory of making Feiliuhu to control the mechanism of this puppet.

As the arrogance of the elders, Grandma Chiyo thought that I never made a move because my actual combat experience was not as good as hers.

This is why she underestimated the Akatsuki organization. The successive blows of Scorpion's defection and Kazekage's disappearance 21 years ago made this respected old man retire.And 20 years is enough for me to fight against all kinds of people non-stop.

The reason why I didn't make a move was simply because I wasn't ready to seriously injure or even kill Grandma Chiyo.

After all, she is one of the only two remaining relatives of Scorpion and I in this world.

I sighed, raised my hand and tore off a black cloth blocking Fei Liuhu.

Fei Liuhu's jaw was split open, and under the control of Chakra, it began to spew out countless thousands of copies.

According to the level of scorpion's delicate mind, these thousand books may have been poisoned.I don't know exactly what the poison is, but it's better to be poisoned and lose your combat power than to be forced to kill your loved ones.

However, it was beyond my expectation, aside from grandma Chiyo who is a treacherous and experienced powerhouse, the little girl from Konoha was able to survive such dense needle rain without any damage.

I watched coldly, and swung Fei Liuhu's tail to kill the little girl who got in the way.

The long metal tail rushed straight towards the little girl's face, but when she was still a few inches away from her, Fei Liuhu's tail stopped uncontrollably in mid-air.

I subconsciously thought of Grandma Chiyo who had been avoiding her until now except for one move of the sword.

So it was at that time that the chakra line was glued on.

In terms of scheming, scorpions are indeed hereditary.

The little girl called Sakura by Grandma Chiyo jumped out of nowhere around Feiliuhu's tail. It was only at this time that I realized why she avoided the needle rain.

This trick is obviously used by me and the scorpion.

The chakra thread is wrapped around this little girl's limbs, and her lack of actual combat experience will eventually be made up for by Grandma Chiyo's first-class puppet technology.

Behind it was the sound of being hit by something with great force, and from the point where it was hit, the shell of Fei Liuhu was completely shattered.

With great difficulty, I groped for a fixed mechanism inside Feiliuhu. After opening the locked mechanism, I barely escaped the fate of being smashed to pieces like Feiliuhu.

Wrapped in a black robe, I rolled on the ground amidst the rising smoke and dust, feeling a little panicked in my heart.

The only puppet used by Scorpion to hide was destroyed by me. I don't know if he will be angry.

Before grandma Chiyo found out, I stood in the shadow of the rock wall with the help of sand and dust.

Only after the dust cleared did I remove the hood which covered my entire face.

The moment she saw my face revealed, Grandma Chiyo, who was still thinking about attacking me, froze in place as if she had been hit by a bolt from the blue.

I touched my face, which completely replicated the appearance of a scorpion.I'm sure it's more realistic than Shapeshifting.

Amidst Grandma Chiyo's trembling voice, I tapped my cold cheek with my finger and laughed.All the expressions are imitating the indifferent appearance of the scorpion, which ignores life and death.

"What's going on here... unexpectedly, it's still the same as before..."

I think that the person who was as powerful and respected as my father in Shayin back then is now just a poor old man who has been separated from his grandchildren for decades. Grandma Chiyo murmured several times, and after seeing me for a long time, she was unable to utter any complete words .

I look like a scorpion with downcast eyes and a low smile.

"Ah, grandma Chiyo. Long time no see."

The author has something to say:

Double shift, countdown to end.

Those who think I want BE, please silently say this is HE three times.

How can you be worthy of my double shift if you don't ask for a reward?
