Yun is now very suspicious of whether his younger brother's taste has changed. Logically speaking, Scorpion's taste should not be so bad. Even if it is not a human-shaped puppet, Scorpion should prefer scorpion-shaped puppets, right?

But, no matter how I looked at the thing in front of me, it couldn't match those types of puppets.

"Shan... Sanjiao fish?"

Yes, that's right, the puppet that was unsealed from the scroll was the salamander fish, and it was a relatively large puppet. Looking at this model, it seemed that three or four people could be stuffed into it.

"Ah."

Scorpion nodded, his tone hardly changed. Rather than saying that he was responding to Yun's question, it was more like a subconscious behavior while distracted. All his attention was now on his left thumb.

"Sanjiao fish is Sanjiao fish."

Yun was very puzzled, there would never be such creatures as salamanders in the desert.Salamander is an amphibious creature and needs water for its living environment.If unfortunately it is in a dry and non-humid place, the salamander fish will definitely not survive for a few hours, even the top-level summoned salamander fish will not last more than a day.

This is also the main reason why there is a demigod in Yuren village, but there is no development of power.As for Hanzo's psychic beast Sanshoyu, leaving the humid environment of Urenin Village where it rains all the year round, I'm afraid he will belch in less than a day.

"scorpion?"

"..."

There was no response, Xiaoxie Baozi was still carefully looking at the red scorpion ring on his thumb.

"scorpion!"

Yun had no choice but to increase the volume, there was a huge salamander puppet between the two of them, Yun couldn't move, otherwise Yun would definitely shake his brother awake.

"what?"

Scorpion raised his head in confusion, not understanding what his brother told him to do.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​making salamanders?"

Yun was really curious about what inspired Scorpion to choose the salamander fish as the shape of the puppet.After all, Scorpion has always been with him, and Yun can guarantee that Scorpion will never have the chance to come into contact with amphibians like salamander, let alone make a puppet of something that does not conform to scorpion's aesthetics.

"Grandma Qiandai brought a salamander fish from Yuren village not long ago to do research. After the research, she gave me the body."

After Xie's explanation, Yun understood the whole story.

In this world, there are many masters who use poison, and the most famous of them is the Hanzo of Urenin Village.The poison sac of the salamander fish was implanted in his body when he was young, and he could produce severe poison just by breathing, and the toxicity of his psychic beast salamander fish was not weak at all.It can be said that half of Hanzo's strength is based on his summoned beasts and poison.

As for Sand Ninja, Chiyo is the one who has studied poisonous arts.In order to understand the toxicity of the salamander and make an antidote, Chiyo once infiltrated into Urenin Village alone, and incidentally captured a newly grown salamander as a research material.

After researching the antidote, the sansho fish had no effect, and Chiyo kept the corpse in case he needed it from time to time.And this time, when Chiyo knew that his little grandson wanted to be a defensive puppet, he thought of this salamander corpse that he had thrown into the material pile for an unknown number of years.

There are many kinds of defensive puppets. They can be puppets that are good at close combat to protect the puppet master, or they can be relatively large and can protect the puppet master like a city wall.

Now that the scorpion has the iron birch that is said to be three points harder than steel, it is naturally more cost-effective to choose a large defensive puppet.The salamander carcass provided by Chiyo is very well preserved, and even the poison sac inside has not been destroyed. If it is made properly, the final result can even use this poison sac to make a poisonous mist attack.After the sansho fish with a body length of about five meters is processed, and then prepared with iron birch, it is almost equivalent to an iron tortoise. Chiyo and Scorpion have tested it. The general kunai shuriken can be ignored, even if it is a close-range detonating charm. Explosions also block damage.

It can be said that under Chiyo's guidance, Scorpion has made puppets far beyond the limits of what he can make at his age.This sansho puppet ranks in the forefront in defense among the puppets kept by sand ninja.

Although the appearance of this puppet is really a little sorry for the audience, and it does not conform to the aesthetics of the scorpion, but it is superior in its super defensive nature.Xie even felt that as long as he stood against this puppet outside, he would dare to fight on the front line without worrying about his own safety.

"But, this defense is good, but what about mobility?"

Yun's attainment in puppetry is not high, but he is not ignorant. Just looking at it on the surface, even if the puppet has been processed and only has a body length of more than four meters, it is all stuffing. It is made of iron birch, and with the iron plate covering its body, Yun roughly estimates that this puppet weighs at least a hundred kilograms, which is not a small amount. If you want to imagine those other puppets flying around in mid-air It's impossible to go, if you take this puppet on the road, it's no different from dragging a stone.

"That," Xie turned his head. The puppet was made by him. He himself is aware of the puppet's flaws, but he wants to save face, but he just doesn't want to admit in front of his brother that the puppet he made is scum in all aspects except for its excellent defense. , "My brother is so smart, he naturally knows how to use it."

Throwing the problem to Yun, Scorpio has no psychological burden at all.He is very clear that according to Yun's intelligence, he can definitely make the best use of it.

"Okay, okay, thank you for the gift."

In any case, it was his brother who spent so much time making this, Yun still cherishes his brother's kindness very much.

"Well, your gift, I like it very much."

Scorpion's last voice was almost inaudible, but Yun still heard every word clearly.

Yun understood that the gift he gave was only for viewing, and had zero practicality.And what Xie gave was a real puppet that could go to the battlefield. In this age, the gift from Xie was definitely much more precious.

"I like your present too."

"You, if you like it, I will make one for you every year."

"it is good."

(Scorpion made a so-called black secret technique for his brother as a birthday present, and passed it to Kankuro more than [-] years later)

————————————— I will not admit that I am a dividing line —————————————

It wasn't until the next day that Yun thought of the birthday gift that Takeuchi had mentioned.However, it was obvious that Takeuchi Takeuchi, who was a big man, didn't know how to choose a gift at all, so he gave Yun and Xie exactly the same thing, a set of advanced ninja protective gear.

The first time he saw the gift, Xie couldn't help but sneered: "No wonder it was the father who married the mother in the end. Master Fengying doesn't know how to choose gifts at all."

"Hey……"

Yun just smiled and didn't say much. It's very rare for a man who is usually pestered by the elders to hold meetings to give a gift, and you can't force the content of the gift, can you?

After the birthdays of the two little buns, the days began to enter winter. No matter whether it was the country of fire or other countries, they didn't really want to start a war in such a cold season.So everyone tacitly stopped what they were doing, maintained the current battle line, and waited for another battle in the spring of next year.

This not only relieved Konoha, but also relieved Iwanin, who was currently pinched a little bit.

But the current battle situation on the front line has nothing to do with the little buns. The two little buns stayed in the village and started hard training. If they want to survive in this war years, if they don't exercise all the time, it's just a joke with their own wealth and life.

Especially Yun, after receiving the sanjiao fish from Xie, he worked hard to practice puppetry.Such a puppet with surprisingly good defensive power must be mastered skillfully. It is very likely that it will be a hole card to save life on the battlefield.

"Brother, pay attention to the joints of the salamander. These movable parts are extremely fragile. Once attacked, the defense of the entire puppet will collapse."

Commanding the puppet's attack in the scorpion's hands, he reminded his current opponent.

"understood."

As the current opponent of the scorpion, Yun carefully manipulated the movements of the salamander.Scorpion's talent in puppetry is much better than his own, and it is a bit difficult for Yun to resist, so far he can barely guarantee that he will not be attacked by Scorpion's puppet.

The current scorpion can barely control two puppets to attack at the same time. The progress is not small. Chiyo commented after watching the puppet art of the scorpion. It is already a rare talent for Xie to do this at such a young age.

"Sanjiao fish is too troublesome to move, and it is impossible to fight flexibly."

Not to mention Yun, Scorpion also agrees with Yun's evaluation after controlling the salamander. The salamander is too heavy, and it may be able to pull it to move in a short period of time, but after a long time, the puppeteer definitely does not have the amount of chakra. Let's pull the salamander, which is several times more laborious than manipulating other humanoid puppets.

In the end, Yun and Xie defined that salamanders can only belong to immovable bunkers, that is to say, salamanders can only passively defend in battle, and can't count on taking the initiative to attack.However, the excellent defensive ability of Sanjiao Fish can resist almost most of the attacks, and even the relatively advanced Fire Dungeon can block it, which makes Xie's depressed mood of thinking that he has made a waste a lot.

"Well, Scorpion, you said that if you simplify the salamander and remove some unnecessary parts, will its mobility increase?"

During the break after training, Yun asked his younger brother.

"should be okay."

When it came to the production of the puppet, Xie devoted himself immensely. While gesturing on the body of the salamander, he said: "The head and tail can be removed, and the steel plate for frontal defense can also be removed, which can reduce the weight by half." The weight." (Remove the head and tail? Then the chicken tastes crunchy? Mr. Pei messed in~~)

So, throughout the winter, Scorpion spent nearly half of his time researching defensive puppets with good mobility.As for Yun, who was not good at this aspect, he couldn't help except to give Xie some ideas as suggestions, so he could only shrink aside and study some miscellaneous things with a book in his hand.

◇

In the blink of an eye, spring is here. For the country of wind in the desert, apart from the rising temperature, the only benefit in spring is the increase of sandstorms.

After a winter recuperation, all the countries are ready for the new year's battle preparations, and now they are waiting for who will do it first.

Sand Shinobi is also discussing the battle plan for the new year.

"It doesn't do us any good to have the battle lines so stalemate."

In the conference room, a certain elder spoke.

"Especially with the addition of Yun Nin, I am afraid that Yan Nin will retreat."

The elder next to him continued.

"..."

The meeting fell into a moment of silence.

Indeed, Konoha's strength is not weak, even much stronger than the unilateral Sand Ninja. If it weren't for the combination of Sand Ninja and Iwanin, Konoha would not be so aggrieved to close the line of defense and shrink back.

But if Iwa-nin retreats because of Kamo-nin now, then Sand-nin's battle line is likely to collapse.

This is a scene that Sand Ninja executives do not want to see. After all, after paying so much principal and withdrawing it without receiving much interest, it is simply a loss-making business.

"Then, send Renzhuli?"

An elder at the conference table suggested.

Jinchuriki, the ninja who sealed the tailed beast, and the sand ninja is possessing a tailed crane, Jinzhuriki can be said to be the strongest combat power in a village except for the shadow.

"Elder Qiandai, the sealing class of Renzhuli has always been presided over by the sealing class, and you personally sealed the Renzhuli of this generation. Can you guarantee the reliability of the seal?"

Takeuchi Takeuchi, who was sitting at the top, did not show an expression of impatience on his face, but asked Chiyo who was sitting on the side with a cold face, very seriously.

"Although it was sealed five years ago, the seal is still relatively complete. There has not been a runaway situation so far. Jinzhuli should be able to be dispatched. But according to past experience, if you use too much tail beast, it is likely to cause the effect of the seal. Weakened, and there was a runaway situation."

Chiyo just spoke about the situation of Jinchuriki, but did not directly agree or deny the proposal.

"Well, the war has not yet started, but we have to prepare early. Do the elders think that Renzhuli will be used?"

As a shadow, although he is the strongest person in the village, he cannot be perfect in the village's decision-making. Many matters must go through the elders' meeting before they can be passed.Especially Takeuchi Takeuchi didn't have the guts to decide on such a major event as the deployment of Renzhuriki by himself.

After some discussion, the number of people dispatched or not was almost evenly divided, leaving only the opinions of Chiyo and Takeuchi Takeuchi.

"My personal opinion is that Renzhu is on standby. If the battle situation is not right, he will be dispatched immediately."

Chiyo is also a decisive person, and will not hesitate in such matters. Seeing everyone looking at him, he opened his mouth and said.

"That's my opinion too," Takeuchi Takeuchi said following Chiyo's words, "Inchuriki will be dispatched to the front border to stand by first, and be ready to dispatch at any time before Iwanin retreats."

It can only be dispatched before Iwanin's defeat. If you wait until after Iwanin's defeat, you must be prepared to deal with the coalition forces of Yunin and Konoha that may appear at any time.

Seeing that all the elders had no objections, Takeuchi Takeuchi made a decision: "Then it's decided. In three days, Renzhuli will set off with the aid team."
