Chapter 541 Scorpion and Deidara
Just as Uchiha Qiushan was taking Naruto towards the Hokage's office, two uninvited guests came to the Sand Village where the sky was filled with yellow sand.
"Senior Scorpion, was the environment of your former village so bad? I've been walking for a long time and I'm still not out of the range of this sandstorm."
Sasori ignored Deidara's complaints, but looked at the sandstorm around him with nostalgia before continuing:
"The reason why Sand Village is the weakest among the five major ninja villages is because the environment here is too bad.
A ninja village without an economic foundation is doomed to fail to develop."
After saying this, Scorpion scanned the surroundings and continued:
"If I remember correctly, this place is not far from the Sand Village. Once we get there, I will activate the spies I left behind. Then, we will be able to enter the Sand Village easily."
Having said that, Scorpion glanced at Deidara next to him and continued:
"Moreover, in the Sand Village, there are few defenses against the sky. Your clay bomb with the ability to fly will have an absolute advantage."
After hearing what Senior Scorpion said, Deidara, who had been complaining, became excited and said:
"Of course. These works of art of mine are absolutely impossible for ordinary people to resist. Except for that bastard Uchiha Itachi, no one can be my opponent."
Having said that, Deidara subconsciously touched his glasses.
Ever since Deidara suffered a defeat at the hands of Uchiha Itachi, he has been brooding over it and has often trained his eyes, thinking that this would allow him to resist Uchiha Itachi's illusions.
Hearing Deidara's lingering words, Scorpion glanced at him expressionlessly, and after a short silence, he said:
"Speaking of which, Uchiha Itachi seems to have a younger brother. According to my information, his brother Uchiha Sasuke seems to have also come out to explore the world. If you are interested in him, I will give you his information after we capture the One-Tailed Jinchuriki."
Hearing Scorpion's words, Deidara was slightly stunned at first, but he immediately reacted, with an excited smile on his face, and shouted:
"Of course I'm interested. If the leader hadn't forbidden the members of our organization to kill each other, I would have gone to settle accounts with that damn Uchiha Itachi long ago.
His brother is not a member of our organization. If I go to seek revenge on him, the leader won’t say anything... Ah, bah, bah, these damn sandstorms..."
Just as Deidara was speaking, a strong gust of wind blew over again, blowing a lot of sand directly into his mouth.
This made Deidara stop talking and he just followed Scorpion obediently and walked forward together.
Just when Scorpion felt that he was getting close to the Sand Village, he quietly made a seal, trying to activate the spy he had left in the Sand Village.
However, just when he had finished making the seal, he suddenly felt something was wrong, because after he made the seal, he did not get any feedback at all, as if that person had disappeared.
This made Scorpion's face suddenly look ugly, and even his body stopped involuntarily.
Deidara, who was standing next to him, also noticed Scorpion's abnormality after taking two steps, so he stepped back and asked with some confusion:
"Uncle Scorpion, why did you stop? Don't you remember the way to go?"
After hearing Deidara's words, Scorpion came back to his senses, shook his head with an unpleasant expression, and said in a low voice:
"No, the chess piece I left in the Sand Village has disappeared. I don't know if he was discovered or died while on a mission."
Although Scorpion said this, he didn't think in his heart that the chess piece he left behind would be discovered.
The chess piece he left in the Sand Village was a jonin named Yura.
Although the mortality rate of Jonin is not very high, he is more confident in his secret technique - Brain Sand Manipulation.
Because this secret technique was invented by him, and it was extremely concealed. Since he invented it, it has never been discovered by others.
Therefore, when Scorpion felt that his secret technique did not get any feedback, he thought that it was because the chess piece he left behind had been sacrificed for some unknown reason, which was why this happened.
Thinking of this, Scorpion's expression became a little better. He ignored Deidara who was making a fuss beside him and walked forward again, saying as he walked:
"I guess that guy died in an accident. After all, the Sand Village has not been very stable in recent years. That guy named Ye Cang killed a lot of people when he became the Kazekage. Maybe that guy was killed by mistake at that time."
Scorpion was not very familiar with Ye Cang. After all, when he left the Sand Village, Ye Cang was not very famous, and the two basically had little interaction.
After hearing Scorpion's explanation, Deidara heaved a sigh of relief and chased after him, shouting:
"Uncle Scorpion, when will this sandstorm pass? I'm tired and don't want to walk anymore."
Although Deidara's means of transportation has the ability to fly, it is completely unusable when swept by such a strong wind, so Deidara has to follow Scorpion obediently.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have passed over something, and the strong wind around them suddenly became much weaker.
After taking two more steps forward, the strong wind finally disappeared.
Deidara looked back with lingering fear, looking at the flying sandstorm, and then said:
"Phew, luckily I got out, otherwise I would have probably gotten lost in there."
After hearing Deidara's words, Sasori said slowly:
"No, we, the ninjas of the Sand Village, have lived in this place since we were young, so we naturally have a way to identify directions. It's just that this method is a bit complicated, and it's difficult for you to learn it with your brain, so I didn't teach you."
After Deidara heard what Scorpion said, two blue veins popped out on his forehead. He clenched his fists and shouted at him:
"Uncle Scorpion, you can attack my looks and my height, but you can't attack my art and IQ. This is my bottom line."
However, Scorpion didn't care about Dinara's jumping up and down. He didn't even look at him and walked forward.
"Okay, the Sand Village is another five kilometers ahead. Let's find a place to rest and go there at night."
Seeing that Uncle Scorpion ignored him, Deidara chased after him, shouting in annoyance:
"Uncle Scorpion, did you hear what I just said? Uncle Scorpion?"
