Chapter 516
The overall atmosphere of the ninja world is still strange and hard to discern, but this does not affect the progress of the training journey. Naruto and Sasuke's strength is also improving in an orderly manner.
It's just that the strength has been improved, but for this kind of aimless wandering around the ninja world, four months later today, Naruto finally came to the River Country and couldn't help asking: "Who are we looking for? Lecherous Immortal! We have been through seven countries in the past four months, don't we have any definite information?"
"It's almost there, after all, that guy is a good hider, but I have a hunch that I should be able to see him here." Jiraiya responded without knowing whether it was true or false.
As he said, the four entered a small town and found a roadside shop to rest for a while.
Even with the speed of a ninja, such a long journey would still feel tiring, that is, Jiraiya was worried that the information would fail, otherwise he would not have passed through several countries in a row in just a few months, so that he didn't even have time to collect folk songs.
While drinking hot tea, Jiraiya talked about the next schedule: "If we can't find that guy here, we will go to the Grayer Mine and then go directly to the Wind Country to Loulan."
"Didn't you just say that you can meet the person you are looking for here?" Naruto said speechlessly, lying on the table and eating the skewers weakly.
"That's what I said, but my premonition is always wrong. After all, I'm not a big toad sage." Jiraiya replied without blushing. Just as he was about to say something, the sky curtain lit up again without any warning.
"Oh, just in time, while taking a rest, I can see what the sky curtain is about today. I remember that the keyword of this issue seems to be... "love/parents". ”
【In a spacious cave, Sakura and Chiyo stood side by side, looking at the puppet Fei Liu Hu with vigilance.】
【Just such a simple gaze made Sakura feel cold from the bottom of her heart, and cold sweat flowed on her face: 'Just by confronting each other like this, I can feel... the gap between me and him in actual combat experience, and how many souls died in his hands...'】
【"Sakura, don't be afraid, I'm here." Chiyo suddenly spoke to break the solemn atmosphere around her, stepped forward a few steps and said: "You step back."】
【While speaking, Chiyo pulled out a string of kunai from her sleeves and suspended it in the air. With the movement of her hands, the kunai shot at the Fei Liu Hu, which was entangled in a ball, with lightning speed, but was easily intercepted by the steel tail behind it when it was about to hit him.】
["Oh, the content of the sky curtain today is quite straightforward, and the battle begins at the beginning! ”]
[“Chiyo and Sakura vs. Akatsuki’s Scorpion... This first battle is quite interesting, unlike the last time, where the opponents were nothing!”]
[“It’s actually not bad. Although it’s not as good as the previous battles between various Kage-level ninjas, Naruto and his team’s fight was actually quite exciting at the Genin stage. Many Chunins may not be able to fight at that level.”]
[“So far, no one can explain what Tianmu is. It’s good to see it, so don’t ask for too much.”]
[“I think so too. What’s happening in the ninja world now is already shocking enough. There’s no need for Tianmu to expose anything more to increase the excitement.”]
[“Are you talking about the Akatsuki’s disintegration that was just exposed last month? This is indeed exciting enough!”]
[“It can only be said to be disbanded, not to the point of disintegration. Although the other members of Akatsuki are also very strong, as long as Nagato is fine, it can’t be said to be a complete failure. After all, this is a being that can single-handedly challenge an entire ninja village. ”]
【“Since you choose to resist, don’t blame me...” Scorpion said as he tore open the torn robe on Fei Liu Hu, revealing the various transformation devices installed on the puppet: “You and the little ghost over there will become my collection, Grandma Chiyo.”】
【Looking at the non-human-like Fei Liu Hu lying on the ground, Sakura was shocked. Seeing this, Grandma Chiyo explained and comforted: “Sakura, that is not Scorpion’s body... but a puppet doll.”】
【Sakura restrained her surprise and asked with a frown: “I also know that it is not his body, but where is his body? Shouldn’t the puppeteer control the puppet with strings at the back?”】
【“The body is in there.” Grandma Chiyo explained: “Puppet masters are not good at close combat, and it is easy to reveal flaws when controlling puppets. That puppet is used to overcome this weakness. The puppet is both his armor and his weapon. This is one of Scorpion’s most proud puppets——Hiryuu Ako."]
["If I remember correctly, Scorpion of the Red Sand seems to be Chiyo's grandson."]
["A battle between a grandfather and a grandson, both sides are well-known puppeteers in the ninja world, there is no doubt that the next battle will be exciting! But, what does this have to do with the keywords of this issue?"]
[""Love/parents", two keywords, since the second one doesn't match, then the first one is it."]
["It's not important, anyway, you will know where it will correspond when you read on, so why not talk about Scorpion of the Red Sand, this Hiryuu Ako, is he pointing out a clear way for all puppeteers."]
["Hiding yourself in a puppet... Although it is good for defense, it is not very convenient to move. I feel that if you encounter a fast opponent or a large-scale attack, you will become a living target directly."]
["Scorpion of the Red Sand has participated in the war after all, it is impossible for him not to understand this point, there should be a corresponding response mechanism, even if other puppeteers cannot learn it completely, it should be no problem to refer to it. ”]
[“You are discussing so enthusiastically. You don’t think that every puppeteer has the ability to make such a puppet. They are not qualified to have such troubles.”]
[“Do you know how my puppets are made...?” At this time, Scorpion suddenly introduced the steps of making his own puppets: “First, take out the internal organs, then peel off the skin and wash it, and then add various devices after antiseptic treatment. A puppet collection is complete.”]
[“As the old woman knows, this Fei Liuhu is one of my collections. Now, if you two are added, I will have exactly 300 puppets.”]
[“This is my art!”]
[Scorpion threatened Sakura and Chiyo with a hoarse voice.]
