The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Scorpion was so focused on fighting and arguing with Elder Chiyo that he forgot to pay attention to the battle in the sky. He didn't expect that when he gained the upper hand and relaxed a little, a powerful attack suddenly came from the sky.

From the perspective of the Sand Ninjas watching from the surroundings, a meteor-like attack suddenly fell from hundreds of meters in the air, accelerating as it flew. Its long tail fins appeared to be on fire. In the blink of an eye, the attack slammed into Fei Liuhu.

The sharp-eyed Sand Ninjas saw in the air that the meteor was actually a huge, hard spear. They immediately thought of the Spear of Shukaku, which was known as the Sand Ninja Village's hardest and most powerful weapon.

Before he could even think, the spear mercilessly pierced through Scorpion's puppet shell, piercing through it like a hot knife through butter.

The spear hit the ground, causing a violent explosion. The billowing smoke and dust rising from the ground made the scene blurred.

"Asshole, you actually had the audacity to distract yourself and attack Brother Scorpion while you were fighting me!"

Deidara was thrown off balance by Gaara's blatant contempt and humiliation, and fell into a state of complete rage.

In the previous fight, he was almost completely suppressed by the enemy's sand. This was not only because he had been depleted and his explosive clay reserves were insufficient, but also because the enemy was indeed quite powerful.

But this is not an excuse for him to ignore me and attack Brother Scorpion!

In a rage, Deidara controlled the bird under his feet and ran at full speed, constantly dodging the pursuit and blockade of the sand, and rushed towards Gaara.

"As the Kazekage, any enemy that attacks the Sand Village will be my target, whether it's you or the one below."

Just now, Gaara took advantage of the time when Deidara was being chased by the sand snakes and compressed the sand as much as possible to support him. He consumed a lot of chakra, but he still looked calm in the face of Deidara's attack.

Gaara said it lightly, but Deidara only felt an invisible aura rushing towards him, and then he became even more angry.

Ignoring the fact that the explosive clay was constantly decreasing, Deidara counterattacked Gaara through the gaps of the sand snakes, and exploding birds kept flying towards Gaara.

For a moment, the sky above the Sand Village was filled with yellow sand like a raging wave, and the sound of explosions continued. The Sand Ninjas watching the battle from below could only see the circling sand snakes and the exploding dust clouds that fell. They could not even make out the figure of their own Kazekage.

......

"scorpion"

Seeing her grandson pierced by Shukaku's spear, Chiyo was so worried that she couldn't help but take a few steps forward to observe. Then she stopped dejectedly outside the billowing smoke and dust. Scorpion had done so many wrong things, bringing such great disaster to the village. Who had the right to worry about him?

Gradually, as the Sand Ninja gathered around, the smoke and dust cleared, revealing a deep pit where Scorpion had stood. All around him was a dead silence. Seeing Scorpion disappear, some Sand Ninja couldn't help but discuss excitedly, believing that Scorpion had been shattered to pieces by the Kazekage's attack. There were even bursts of cheers from the crowd.

Unlike the Sunagakure's optimism, Chiyo's expression grew increasingly grim. She knew Scorpion's strength well. Given the hardness of the Higurashi's shell, even Shukaku's spear wouldn't be able to completely destroy it, leaving behind nothing.

rustling --

At this moment, a figure walked out from the deep pit step by step. It was a handsome young man with red hair. There was a hole on his body that was transparent from front to back, but it didn't seem to affect his movements at all.

The people outside looked at this scene in astonishment. Is he really still a human being? He suffered such an injury and didn't even bleed!

The other Sand Ninjas were still in shock, but Chiyo was the only one who stared in shock at the Red Sand Scorpion, whose appearance remained unchanged, unchanged from a decade ago. Her eyes were complex and profound, filled with shock, joy, and then deep sorrow.

"Looking at you, have you modified your body as well?!" Chiyo's voice was trembling, as if she was extremely unwilling to hear the answer that she already had in her mind.

The Red Sand Scorpion raised his head and revealed a terrifying smile. "That's right! I transformed myself into a human puppet. From then on, I was free from the birth, aging, sickness and death of ordinary people. I even made further breakthroughs in the level of puppetry. I have reached the highest level of puppetry."

Scorpion paused to admire Chiyo's expression before adding, "And who said puppets can't improve themselves? I can constantly transform myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sand Ninjas who were responsible for the voice acting were all shocked. They looked at the hollow holes on Scorpion's body and his eyes that looked exactly like a real person, filled with fear and confusion, and started discussing it one by one.

"Puppetry can be done to this extent, it seems that human puppets are not impossible."

"If our Sand Village had more puppeteers like this, could we become the largest ninja village in the ninja world?"

"Stop dreaming! The human puppetry technique is only possessed by Scorpion of the Red Sand. Those puppeteers in the village are usually too arrogant, but in terms of true skill level, they are completely crushed by others."

The ordinary Sand Ninjas were in endless confusion and discussion, while some puppeteers went crazy because they could not accept the fact that they were human puppets.

"Human puppet... Is the puppetry I learned before all backward and wrong?! Is a true puppeteer a master who can transform his own body into a puppet?"

Kankuro was even quietly examining his own body. If he could control that kind of power at the cost of his own body, Kankuro felt that he was somewhat tempted.

Chiyo looked at Scorpion's face, a face she had imagined countless times in her mind, and felt a sharp pain in her heart. She shouldn't have taught Scorpion the puppet technique back then, leading him down this path. Now that Scorpion had become like this, it was all her fault!

Although I have always hoped to meet my grandson again, this way of meeting is too cruel.

"It's the old woman's fault. I shouldn't have taught you puppetry back then."

Chiyo's voice revealed grief and determination, "It was me who led you down the path of a puppeteer. Now that you've taken this evil path, let me, an old woman who should have died long ago, put an end to this tragic situation!"

Chiyo silently pulled out a scroll and summoned ten puppets. "White Secret Technique: The Ten of Kinmatsu! Let me show you the strongest puppets left by the original puppeteer!"

However, facing this powerful lineup, Scorpion of the Red Sand showed no fear. He raised his hand and pulled out a scroll from behind his back, slowly opening it.

The next second, hundreds of puppets in red robes suddenly appeared, crowding the center of the battlefield.

"How is it possible with so many puppets?"

"You have such strength but you don't use it to protect the village. You are such an evil person!"

Seeing this horrifying scene, the Sand Ninjas began to talk again.
