v3 Chapter 22： Timeless art

"Huh, isn't this a bug?"

Chiyo, who had just finished the meeting and was walking down the street, ran into a teenager holding three puppets.

Hearing the sound, the little insect raised the crow that was covering his sight, showing a smiling face: "Mr. Chi-dai."

"Well, you can carry it..."

"It's a puppet made by Scorpion for customers."

Chiyo was taken aback for a moment, "Is it done so soon?"

"Yes, Scorpion is a genius!"

After hearing this, Chiyo smiled slightly, stretched out his arm, helped the little insect to lift the puppet up, and then asked: "What's wrong with the scorpion lately?"

"Abnormal..." Little Insect pondered for a moment and shook his head: "In addition to being withdrawn as always, he has been making some sophisticated puppet arms recently, which are exactly the same as real people!"

"Really," Chiyo nodded without paying attention. "Then you go, pay attention to safety."

"Yes, grandmother thousand generations."

Seeing the little insect holding the puppet and disappearing around the corner, Chiyo turned around and walked slowly towards the puppet room.

Xiao Chong is the only friend of Scorpion, and it can also be said that it is the bond between Chiyo and Scorpion. She usually understands Scorpion's movements through Xiao Chong.

But today was a little bit special. After seeing the bug, she decided to take a look at her grandson, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Yes, it's been a long time.

In recent years, Chiyo's relationship with Scorpion has been harmonious, even tense. Except for occasional discussions about puppets, there are very few other exchanges between the two.

Not to mention Eilao Zang, but the exchanges between the worm and the scorpion are more than that of the thousand generations.

Recalling now, it was probably because she had just been redeemed at that time. She didn't know how to explain Tongye and Yin's death or how to face the scorpion, so she chose to escape and alienate.

"I must have hurt him deeply, right?"

Chiyo knew this clearly, but there was no way, because she was just a poor woman who had just lost her son and daughter-in-law.

Pushing open the door of the puppet room, under the dim oil lamp, the red-haired boy was still busy.

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

But found that the frequency of the footsteps was different from that of the bug, he turned his head and found that it was his grandmother Chiyo.

Scorpion did not speak, pursed his lips, then lowered his head to continue making his own puppet.

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

The puppet master’s abilities are all on the puppet, and the manipulation of the puppet relies on the ten fingers, so the puppet master’s hands are more flexible and delicate than the average ninja.

Naturally the same is true for Scorpion. When he was young, he was already better than many Shangren in terms of the speed of Jie Yin. When playing with the puppet, he turned his fingers even more, which made people a little dazzling.

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

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

Chiyo was taken aback, and said in doubt: "How did you know?"

"You rarely come to see me, let alone come to the puppet room, but today is so abnormal, and..." Scorpion pursed his lips and continued: "I heard the bug say that the frontline was defeated."

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

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

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

Chiyo was a little confused.

Yes, four years ago, Shuomao was not as good as it was at his peak. Now that so long has passed, how could she be an opponent?

"When you are on the battlefield, don't look for Konoha White Fang anymore. I will repay this grudge later."

Scorpion's tone was very calm, as if killing White Fang, for him, it was just a small matter.

Chiyo frowned and remained silent.

Scorpion is indeed a rare genius for decades. He graduated from Ninja School at the age of 7 and became Zhongren at the age of 8. This is really rare in Shayin Village.

But the question is, isn’t white teeth a genius?

At his current age, there is at least a ten-year peak, and Scorpion is still very young. How can he avenge?

Arrogance is a common problem of geniuses. Chiyo was a little worried that the scorpion head would get hot, so he persuaded: "I believe you can get revenge in the future, but you are still young now. If the front is tight and you are sent to the battlefield, don't look for White Fang! "

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

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

She knows the strength of Scorpion very well, and she also knows the strength of Uchiha Chen when she was ten years old. Compared with the latter, the former is obviously far behind.

Not satisfied? You also go try a tail beast?

But this kind of thing is definitely impossible to say. If you don't say the confidence of attacking the scorpion, it will easily arouse his victory or defeat.

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

After thinking about it, Chiyo had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I just don't want you to take risks. You are destined to become the fourth generation of Fengying."

"Fourth Generation Fengying?"

"Yes, I came back this time because I had an agreement with Sandaime. He will support you to become the fourth generation Fengying. Similarly, during the war, I will also support him."

Xie sneered: "Do you believe him?"

Chiyo nodded: "Rosa was defeated on the front line. This is a stain that is difficult to erase. The three generations of Fengying just want to push him to the top, and the ninjas in the village will be dissatisfied. Besides, the third generation of Fengying has no better choice. ."

"What if he does not leave his position?"

"Three generations of Fengying is indeed a person who loves power, but since he announced the decision to abdicate at the presbytery, 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 taken aback, and said in disbelief: "You don't want to be the fourth generation of Fengying?"

"I don't want to."

"But I remember when you were a kid..."

Scorpion's tone immediately changed from calm to indifferent: "I am no longer who I was then."

Yes, he is not what he was then.

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

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

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

Especially those amber pupils without the slightest emotion made Chiyo almost go away.

She finally sighed and patted the dust on the corner of the scorpion and stretched out her hand to help him adjust the loopholes on the puppet, then slowly turned and left.

In the middle, there was no word.

Scorpion sat on the chair and maintained his posture. After a long time, his 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 Fengying, Konoha Leiguang..."

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

"Waiting to kill these people..."

Scorpion raised his arm, his slender fingertips lightly pressed on the position of the heart, and his tone was fanatical: "I will devote myself to eternity."
