Chapter 146: The Third Kazekage Ends
Early morning in the Sand Village in the Land of Wind.
As the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone onto the earth, the Sand Village's high-ranking officials who came to see him off were bid farewell in the direction of the narrow gap in the sky.
After explaining the important matters, he turned around quickly and set off for Daming Prefecture with the silent Scorpion beside him.
None of the top leaders of the Sand Village had ever imagined that this would be their last meeting with the Sandaime Kazekage.
......
Three hours later.
"Cough, cough, cough, why, Scorpion..."
The Sandaime Kazekage was half-kneeling on the ground, covering his chest and coughing up black blood from time to time, his face full of disbelief.
The red-haired young man in front of him was his confidant who was promoted by him, and he was also the link between him and the top leaders of Chiyo's faction.
Now, the young man stood in front of him with the attitude of a superior, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule.
"Why, why......"
Hearing the Sandaime Kazekage's unwilling questioning, Scorpion tilted his head habitually, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and looked at the "strongest Kazekage" in front of him with an expression of looking at a toy.
After a moment, Scorpion's cold voice sounded:
"This is the retribution you deserve for being unable to fulfill your duties as the Kazekage."
Although Scorpion's parents were killed by Konoha's White Fang, in his opinion, the Sandaime Kazekage, who assigned his parents to lead the attack on Konoha during the Second Ninja World War, was also an accomplice.
Moreover, the Sand Village under the rule of this "strongest Kazekage" can be said to have completely disgraced the reputation of the previous Kazekage.
After hearing what Scorpion said, the Sandaime Kazekage's face, which was originally black due to poisoning, became even darker.
He never thought that Scorpion would assassinate him for such a reason.
Through the severe pain transmitted through his meridians, the Sandaime Kazekage knew clearly that his life was slipping away bit by bit.
But as proud as he was, he naturally could not accept that he was killed by his personal bodyguard in a sneak attack.
Therefore, the Sandaime Kazekage ignored the pain and frantically mobilized the chakra in his body.
"It's useless. This is a mother-child poison. The mother-child poison is the main poison. I have been poisoning you since I became your bodyguard three years ago."
As iron sand began to flow out of the Sandaime Kazekage's body, Scorpion's tone remained cold, but his slightly retreating steps exposed his mental activities.
Although he thought he was foolproof, the opponent's reputation as the "Strongest Wind Shadow" was too famous. Even though Scorpion was now more mature mentally, he was still a teenager in essence.
"Oh, you are scared..."
After spitting out another mouthful of black blood, the Sandaime Kazekage forced himself to stand up slowly.
Behind him, the iron sand had condensed into a huge cone, which was now floating on the ground.
Looking at the Sandaime Kazekage, Scorpion frowned slightly, then took out the summoning scroll and summoned a human puppet.
As the strongest poison maker in the Sand Village, Scorpion naturally knew how terrible the mother-and-child poison he had given to the Third Kazekage was.
But now the other party could actually stand up and mobilize chakra, which was really unexpected.
As the name suggests, mother-child poison is composed of two different poisons.
Before the sub-poison meets the mother poison, it will only lurk in the human body and corrode the chakra of the poisoned person, and will not cause a fatal threat.
This is also the reason why the poison masters in the village were unable to detect that the Sandaime Kazekage was poisoned.
However, once the sub-toxin comes into contact with the mother poison, even if a little is inhaled through the respiratory tract, it will merge with the sub-toxin in the body.
Then it begins to spread within the human body.
Once it spreads to a certain extent, even an antidote cannot save it.
"Sand Iron Realm Law..."
The Sandaime Kazekage opened his arms and began to control the sand iron to move towards Scorpion.
however--
"puff--"
As he spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with organ fragments, the Sandaime Kazekage began to bleed from all seven orifices.
The iron sand that had just condensed also dispersed again.
At this time, the Sandaime Kazekage could no longer even maintain the iron sand armor that was used for defense on his body.
After staggering a few times, the Sandaime Kazekage knelt on his knees, his head lowered, and he became silent.
After observing vigilantly for a while, Scorpion controlled the puppet to come in front of the Sandaime Kazekage and touched him with the puppet.
Even so, the Sandaime Kazekage showed no signs of responding.
"That's what I said..."
Seeing this, Scorpion let down his guard and muttered to himself.
"Go to hell!"
Just when he thought that the Sandaime Kazekage was completely finished, the other party's originally lowered head suddenly raised up, and accompanied by a roar, a thousand balls condensed from sand iron flew quickly towards Scorpion's head.
Oops.
Thinking to himself that something was wrong, Scorpion quickly dodged.
The iron sand flew past Scorpion's scalp and took away a few strands of his red hair.
He touched the top of his head. Although Scorpion still looked calm and composed, his slightly rapid breathing proved that he was not as calm as he looked.
"Damn it..."
Cursing inwardly, Scorpion gave up the puppet he had summoned earlier and threw out a chakra line to hit the Sandaime Kazekage.
At this time, the Sandaime Kazekage was completely dead, and his soul went to see the Six Paths.
Feeling the life force slipping away from the corpse in front of him and confirming that the other party was truly dead this time, Scorpion hurriedly took out the scroll he had prepared long ago and sealed the body of the Sandaime Kazekage inside it.
The human puppet needs to be made when the chakra still exists in the corpse. At the moment, he is still in a desert, which obviously does not meet the conditions for making it.
After working for a while and cleaning up all the traces at the scene, Scorpion put away the scroll and was about to leave.
Then, as if he thought of something, he stopped and took off the forehead protector.
Without any hesitation, Scorpion slashed it hard with his kunai.
From today on, there will no longer be a Scorpion of the Sand Village.
"Wait, Konoha White Fang..."
Look towards the north, which is the direction of the Fire Country.
[When I turn the Sandaime Kazekage into a human puppet, I will go to Konoha to find you.]
Having made up his mind secretly, Scorpion turned and stepped into the desert. As the wind blew up the sand, his figure gradually disappeared.
......
Two weeks later.
Before the Sandakage set out, the daimyo received a notice from the Sand Village and postponed his trip for three days upon learning that the Sandakage would be visiting in person.
However, the daimyo waited for several days but saw no one coming. He thought he was deceived by the Sand Village and sent an envoy to question them.
When the messenger arrived at the Sand Village and questioned why there had been no news from the Sandai Kazekage for nearly half a month, the village's top leaders were all stunned.
Originally, he thought that his own Kazekage had not returned for such a long time because he was accompanying the daimyo on public relations, but the other party's messenger said that the Sandaime Kazekage had not gone at all.
That's not bad.
The village had just determined its strategic goals, but its leader was gone.
Even the messenger was a little shocked. He originally thought that he had been stood up, but it turned out that the villagers didn't know where Fengying had gone.
Knowing the importance of the matter, the messenger hurriedly left the Sand Village and set out on the return journey as quickly as possible.
Where did Fengying go?
At this point, everyone in the know is looking for the answer to this question.
Where is the grandson?
Only Chiyo, while wondering about the whereabouts of the Kazekage, was still worried about her "cute" grandson.
