[Naruto] Tiantian's Puppet Show

Chapter 66

The scorpion mother said softly, her expression was tender but also sympathetic, "Her parents... were killed."

The scorpion's eyes darkened.

"She has already set off to return to Konoha. Let's go and have a look, Scorpion." Mother Scorpion brushed her long hair that was blown to her eyes by the wind, and looked down with sad eyes, "I think she must be very sad now .”

What kind of feeling is that, the scorpion should understand best.

"..." His parents, who had died long ago, were brought back to life every day.However, Tiantian's parents left.Although the two events were not directly connected, he couldn't help but combine them.

It's so ironic that you want to laugh out loud!

Mother Scorpion wanted to continue persuading: "Scorpion..."

"……It's not my business."

If the ending of some people is reversed, then the fate of others will be rewritten.

There are gains and losses.This is an eternal truth.

I understand the truth, but I will always be lucky.So when the truth comes to me, I feel like a blow to the head.

"The caravan was attacked during the transportation, and the location was on the border of the Fire Country." Tsunade handed the relevant report to Tiantian.Seeing the other party's pale face, she sighed, "My condolences."

It's not that she is indifferent, it's just that in this world, death is a common occurrence.Wave after wave of grief shocks, forcing people's hearts to become more and more hard, otherwise, they will be completely defeated and helpless.

Moreover, according to Jiraiya's speculation, 'Akatsuki' may launch an attack on Konoha.Now all the ninjas are on alert.Tiantian's own affairs... can only be left to her to handle.

Tiantian nodded, took the report confirming her parents' ending, and left the Naruto room.

In the next few days, under the worried eyes of his companions, Tian Tian single-handedly arranged the funeral and follow-up matters.She didn't cry and make a fuss, and she could barely be called calm and orderly, but she looked obviously tired and haggard.

After tidying up her parents' belongings, Tian Tian formally moved out of the empty mansion and lived in the ninja shop.

Once the number of people decreases, the huge mansion will only appear deserted and empty.

The back of the ninja shop is fairly spacious, with a courtyard where you can flex your fists and a long corridor.Needless to say, puppet rooms and warehouses, there are also rooms such as living rooms and bedrooms.In short, although it is smaller than the home, it is more than enough for one person to live in.

"No, you've helped me a lot. I'm fine, don't worry."

In the evening, Neji and Li, who helped deal with the funeral, delivered Tiantian to the gate of the ninja shop.The two friends were still hesitating whether to stay with Tian Tian for a while, but Tian Tian politely but firmly refused. "Master Tsunade gave me a few days off, but you still have tasks tomorrow." She smiled, with one hand and one back, pushing the two of them forward a few steps, "Go back and rest."

"Alright then." Li compromised and said worriedly, "If you need our help, just ask."

Ning Ci also nodded, "Don't support yourself alone."

Tian Tian smiled, "Got it, go back quickly."

The two walked away in three steps.

They didn't expect that shortly after they left, Tian Tian, ​​who was sent back to the ninja shop by them, quietly came out of the shop again and came to Konoha's cemetery.

Her parents were not ninjas, so their names were not engraved on the memorial monument, but two ordinary stone monuments were erected.

Staring at the two steles for a long time, Tian Tian let out a long sigh and sat down cross-legged.

"Really... I've said it before, so don't be so eager to make money. If you have time, our family of three will get together more..."

"But I also don't do well. I always go to perform tasks, or just practice with Ningci and Li... I'm always away from home. You... must be blaming me."

"Sorry……"

The night was cold and dew heavy, and the dark gray stone tablet was covered with a layer of hoarfrost by the moonlight, making it even more icy and glaring.The air was filled with a chill that penetrated to the bone marrow, and the shadows of the trees on both sides were dancing, like ghosts silently waiting to attack.

Fortunately, Tiantian is not afraid of these.Knowing that it won't help, she still plans to stay with her parents these few nights, which can be regarded as some insignificant compensation and remembrance.

The departure of loved ones is not impossible in this world of swords and swords.

What is left is the regrets of the living.

If one day, she has feelings for someone, she must, must express it early.

However...it seems that there is no such person.

I can't help but sigh every day, do I have to depend on the ninja shop like before?

No……

With arms around her knees and half-closed eyes, she said something to the deceased family members from time to time.Suddenly, Tiantian felt a piece of clothing falling on her back, with a clean breath and slightly cool body temperature.

Tian Tian looked up and was stunned: "Xie Sang?!"

How did he come? !

Scorpion lowered his head slightly, watching Tian Tian's hair hanging on his shoulders covered with fine frost and dew, which slightly scattered white light under the moonlight.

Judging by her posture, it is estimated that she will stay like this until dawn.

"...You are really boring."

In the end, he could only spit out one sentence.

Directly ignoring Xie's words, Tian Tian was completely at a loss, "Why are you here?

for her?Forget it, it's totally unimaginable, okay?She was more willing to believe that he was kicked by Chiyo's mother-in-law!

Could it be that there is something going on in Konoha?Task?Take materials?

Xie thought for a while, and said calmly without blushing, "By the way."

Tian Tian buried most of her face behind her knees, turned the corner of her mouth where Xie couldn't see, and said in a low voice: "I knew you were not that good."

scorpion:"……"

Looking at the other party's bloodless cheeks and red eyes from the cold, he still resisted the urge to turn his head and leave in a noble and glamorous way.

The night wind blew by, lifting Scorpion's black robe, bringing with it a faint smell of blood.

Tian Tian frowned, "You were attacked? Xiao? Or..." He went to massacre the village to attack the country again ==

Scorpion does not speak.

"Aren't you going back?" After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, Tian Tian couldn't help asking.Or do you plan to live in Konoha? "Shall I help you find a hotel?"

As he said that, Tiantian suddenly had a shock.When he thought of something, his eyes instantly turned into dead fish eyes.

"By the way... did you break in or go through the main entrance?"

Scorpion said nothing.But she seemed to have guessed the answer.

——He will obediently register and come in from the main entrance, so it's a ghost!

With the strength of the scorpion, there is no need to worry about breaking in and being discovered.But... People from other villages cannot stay in hotels without permission to enter the village!

Tiantian: My heart is so tired!

Xie snorted softly, "There is a gap in Konoha's barrier." Looking at Tian Tian's widening eyes, he was slightly surprised, "You don't know?"

Tian Tian rolled his eyes: "Are you sure you didn't do it?"

"The spell covering it is very old, at least 80 years ago." Scorpion thought for a while, "And it feels like it was left on purpose to let someone come in."

It existed nearly a hundred years ago, has the qualifications to join the barrier setting, can do such a thing in full view, and has hidden countless masters so far.There is only one such person I can think of.

The first Hokage has been waiting for Uchiha Madara to return.Tiantian murmured depressed and silently: "When I came here, I brought back a world war..."

Anyway, he is also her master, so if you come to Konoha, you can't let him sleep on the street.Every day, he ponders in distress where he should let Xie live.

Naruto's house is vacant now, but since Naruto who is in Mt. Miaomu cannot be contacted, it seems not good to rush in.

Neji's house is quite big, but Hinata's management is strict, and it is certainly impossible to sneak someone in.

And Lee's... uh...

Putting Xie and Li together...that picture is too beautiful to imagine.

Headache!

However, the parties still acted as if they had nothing to do with themselves.Just as Tiantian was thinking, the creaking sound of the puppet's operation suddenly sounded in his ears, especially clear in the quiet night, but it seemed to be quieter than the usual puppet's movement.

She turned her head in confusion, and found that Scorpion was squatting beside her, with her right hand raised horizontally, and several chakra lines hanging down, connecting two little puppets that looked somewhat similar to her parents, doing some small movements.

Looking at it this way, it looks more like manipulating two small toys, or performing a shadow play.

"Grandma Chiyo never told me about the death of that woman and that man." In the cold night, Xie calmly opened his mouth.

During the breath, the white air lingered and quickly dissipated.

But such a scene did not exist in the past.So was the thick scarf around his neck.Because the scorpion used to be a human puppet, it has no temperature, so naturally it will not breathe out white mist in the cold night, and it does not need to add clothes to keep warm.

Sure enough, it is these small details that give the real feeling that the person around him is alive like a human being.

"I asked her when my parents will be back. She said, they will be back soon, just wait."

It was the first time I heard Scorpion talk about himself.

Tian Tian slightly opened his eyes wide, did not speak, and listened very carefully.

Xie's voice was as emotionless as ever, and it seemed to be much deeper and quieter because of the cold night.

"Soon, when is it? Wait, how long will we have to wait." Scorpion tilted his head, showing an interesting smile, and a coolness appeared in his deep eyes, "It's ridiculous, she can't answer such a simple question." Come up."

"But I already knew the answer."

forever.end of time.

Scorpion no longer speaks, but concentrates on manipulating the ground puppet.

The two little puppets are constantly changing patterns between his nimble fingers.

Looking at it, Tiantian finally couldn't help bending the corners of his mouth, stretching out his first smile in these days.

The scorpion eyes moved slightly, glanced at her indistinctly, and quickly returned to the puppet.

"I really hate you."

I was taken aback every day.

"Little devil, do you know what art is? Eternity, the beauty that can be passed down forever, is art. It's not like that." Scorpion tilted his head in the direction of the tombstone.

Once, it was his parents.Now, it's Tian Tian's parents.

Human life is too fragile to perish easily.Compared with eternity, it can be called fleeting.

"So, I hate you very much." Under Tian Tian's dazed gaze, Xie lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Do you know how much time and effort I spent to make myself a human puppet? Now this body... huh .” He sneered softly, “It really has nothing to do with eternity.”

The ending is the same as those people, buried in the ground and turned into dust.

The author has something to say:

★In the end, I still lived there every day.

★A scorpion who says it's none of my business but is very honest physically.

★818 The scorpion whose body is soft and easy to push down after blowing cold wind and catching a cold.
