Konoha’s 50 Years

"Hey, isn't this a little bug?"

Chiyo, who was walking down the street just after the meeting, ran into a boy holding three puppets.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Zong raised the crow that covered his sight and showed a smile: "Mother Chiyo."

"Well, you carry it like..."

"It's a puppet that Scorpion makes for customers."

Chiyo was stunned, "It's done so soon?"

"Yeah, Scorpion is a genius!"

Chiyo smiled slightly after hearing this, stretched out her arm, and helped Xiao Zong hold the puppet up, and then asked, "Is there anything unusual about Scorpion recently?"

"Abnormal..." Xiao Zong pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Apart from being withdrawn as always, he has been making some sophisticated puppet arms recently, which are exactly the same as real people!"

"Yeah," Chiyo nodded and didn't care. "Then you go, pay attention to safety."

"Yes, mother-in-law Chiyo."

Seeing Xiao Wo disappear around the corner holding the puppet, Chiyo turned around and walked slowly towards the puppet room.

The little bug is the only friend of the scorpion, and it can also be said to be the bond between Chiyo and the scorpion. She usually uses the little bug to understand the movement of the scorpion.

But today was a little bit special. After meeting the little bug, she decided to go see her grandson, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Yes, long time no see.

In the past few years, the relationship between Chiyo and Scorpio has been harmonious, and it can even be said to be tense. Except for the occasional discussion of puppets, there are very few other exchanges between the two.

Not to mention Hailaozang, the communication between the insect and the scorpion is more than that of Chiyo.

Looking back now, it was probably because she had just been redeemed at that time. She didn't know how to explain the death of Tongya and Yin, and she didn't know how to face the scorpion, so she chose to escape and distance themselves.

"At that time, I must have hurt him deeply, right?"

Chiyo knew this clearly, but there was nothing she could do, because at that time, she was just a poor woman who had just lost her son and daughter-in-law.

Push open the door of the puppet room,

Under the dim yellow oil lamp, the red-haired boy was still busy.

"Why are you back?" Scorpion asked in a flat tone.

But finding that the frequency of the footsteps was different from that of the little insect, he turned his head to look, only to find that it was his grandmother Chiyo.

Scorpion didn't speak, pursed his lips, then lowered his head and continued to make his own puppet.

Chiyo felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he didn't speak, but stood silently behind Scorpion, watching him make a puppet.

The puppet master's entire ability is all on the puppet, and the manipulating the puppet relies on the ten fingers, so the hands of the puppet master are more flexible and delicate than ordinary ninjas.

Scorpion is naturally the same. When he was young, he was already more powerful than many Jōnin in terms of the speed of forming seals. When playing with puppets, he even flipped his fingers, which made people a little dazzled.

Chiyo nodded silently. Scorpion's accomplishments on puppets are rare, not to mention Tongya, even at this age, he is far inferior.

"Are you going to the battlefield?" Scorpion, who had not spoken, suddenly asked,

Chiyo was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

"You rarely come to see me, let alone come to the puppet room. Today is so abnormal, and..." Scorpion pursed his lips and continued: "I heard from Xiao Zong that the front line was defeated."

Chiyo nodded, a little surprised at Scorpion's sharpness.

"Yes, it will be on the battlefield soon, Konoha Baiya is on the front line now, and I want to avenge Tongya and Yin."

"You couldn't kill him four years ago, can you do it in four years?" Scorpion said flatly.

Chiyo was at a loss for words.

Yes, four years ago, Sakumo was so powerful before she was at her peak. Now that so much time has passed, how could she be an opponent?

"Don't go looking for Konoha Baiya on the battlefield. I will avenge this revenge in the future."

Scorpion's tone was very calm, as if killing White Fang was just a trivial matter to him.

Chiyo frowned and remained silent.

Scorpion is indeed a genius rarely seen in decades. He graduated from the ninja school at the age of 7 and became a chunin at the age of 8, which is really rare in Sandyin Village.

But the question is, isn't White Fang a genius?

At his current age, he still has at least ten years to reach his peak. Scorpion is still very young, so how can he take revenge?

Arrogance is a common problem for geniuses, and Chiyo was a little worried that the scorpion’s head would get hot, so he persuaded: “I believe you can take revenge in the future, but you are still young, if the battle lines are tight and you are sent to the battlefield, don’t go to White Fang! "

"Why, afraid that I will die in his hands? I remember that Konoha Leiguang defeated Shouhe in the Land of Rain at the age of ten."

Chiyo looked at Scorpion's amber eyes and didn't know how to answer.

She is very clear about Scorpion's strength. She is also clear about Uchiha Chen's strength when he was ten years old. Compared with the latter, the former is obviously far worse.

Dissatisfied? Are you going to fight a tailed beast too?

But this kind of thing is definitely impossible to say, and if you don't say it against Scorpion's self-confidence, it will easily arouse his determination to win or lose.

What if the scorpion is impulsive and goes to the tailed beast to prove himself?

After thinking about it, Chiyo had to bite the bullet and say, "I just don't want you to take risks, you are destined to become the fourth Kazekage."

"The fourth generation of wind shadow?"

"Yeah, my comeback this time is because I have an agreement with Sandaimu, he will support you to become the fourth Kazekage, and similarly, during the war, I will also support him."

Scorpion sneered: "You believe him?"

Chiyo nodded: "Luo Sha's defeat on the front line is a stain that cannot be erased. Three generations of Kazekage just want to push him to the top, and the ninjas in the village will also be dissatisfied. Besides, there is no better choice for three generations of Kazekage. ."

"What if he doesn't leave the position?"

"Sandai Fengying is indeed a person who loves the position of power, but since he made his decision to abdicate at the elders meeting, if he breaks his promise, those big families will completely destroy him."

Scorpion was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I may not be the person you want me to be."

Chiyo was stunned and said in disbelief, "You don't want to be the fourth Kazekage?"

"In no mood."

"But I remember when you were young..."

Scorpion's tone immediately changed from calm to indifferent: "I'm not what I was then."

Yes, he is not who he was then.

If the scorpion has learned anything over the years, it is probably a gentle and kind person who is always difficult to survive.

Because... this ninja world is neither gentle nor kind.

The wind from outside the window blew in. Although it was not cold, Chiyo felt a little cold in her hands and feet. It was the first time she discovered that Scorpion was so unfamiliar.

Especially the pair of amber pupils without the slightest emotion made Chiyo almost snatch the door away.

She finally sighed, patted the dust on the corner of Scorpion's clothes, and reached out to help him adjust the loopholes on the puppet before slowly turning around and leaving.

In between, not a word was said.

Scorpion sat on the chair and maintained the position just now. After a long time, the stiff body gradually eased.

"Grandma, don't die."

After showing a little tenderness, the scorpion returned to indifference again.

"Konoha White Fang, Three Generations of Kazekage, Konoha Leiguang..."

He gently recited a series of names. These people were all related to the death of his parents, or those who had offended him, and they were also on the list of people he wanted to kill.

"Wait until these people are killed..."

Scorpion raised his arm, slender fingertips gently pressed on the position of the heart, and said in a frenzy: "I will devote myself to eternity."
