Chapter 1003 Sand

I won't choose to resurrect you. After all, you have done too many things that hurt the Sand Village. "Someone next to me said slowly. Scorpion clenched his fists, and there was a slight sound at the joints. "Hurt the Sand Village? Humph, that's because this village abandoned me first. I'm just pursuing the art of immortality." His voice was filled with a hint of unwillingness and resentment. However, some warm scenes of his childhood life in the Sand Village involuntarily emerged in his mind, those times with his family and friends. He felt annoyed, "What's the matter with these memories? Is it so fussy just because this body has regained a little humanity?" Scorpion stood up and looked at the sand dunes in the distance. "But now that I have regained life, maybe I can re-examine this village that I once hated. Maybe there are things worth exploring there, such as the true meaning of art, whether it is not just limited to making puppets." After speaking, he walked towards the direction of the Sand Village, and his figure gradually disappeared in the yellow sand.

Scorpion walked towards the Sand Village step by step, and met many patrolling ninjas on the way. When the ninjas saw Scorpion, they all showed alert expressions and drew their weapons to prepare for battle. However, Scorpion did not intend to attack, but just stood there quietly. At this time, an older ninja recognized him and shouted loudly: "How dare you, a traitor, come back!" Scorpion said calmly: "I came back just to take a look." Just when the atmosphere was tense and a fight was about to break out, Granny Chiyo appeared.

Granny Chiyo looked at Scorpion with mixed emotions in her eyes: "You, my child, are back after all." Scorpion faced Granny Chiyo with mixed feelings in his heart: "Granny, I want to know if the art I once pursued was wrong." Granny Chiyo sighed: "There is no right or wrong in art, but your methods have hurt too many people." Scorpion remained silent. Then, Granny Chiyo took Scorpion into the village. The villagers cast strange glances at him, and under this gaze, something hard in Scorpion's heart gradually melted. He realized that in addition to his painful memories, the Sand Village also had an invisible power, and that power might be the missing part of true art - the bond of emotion. Scorpion followed Granny Chiyo to a corner, where the first puppet he made in his childhood was placed. Scorpion walked up and gently stroked the puppet, and the memories of the past came like a tide. He turned to Granny Chiyo and said, "Granny, I want to reintegrate into this village and use my skills to make up for my past mistakes." Granny Chiyo nodded slightly, with a trace of relief in her eyes.

So, Scorpion began to build defensive puppet mechanisms in the village to protect the village from foreign invasion. At first, the villagers were still wary of him, but as he resisted foreign attacks again and again, everyone slowly changed their minds. Scorpion felt unprecedented fulfillment in this process, and he found that using his art to protect was far more satisfying than destroying.

One day, Scorpion was debugging a new puppet mechanism, and a child ran over and looked at him curiously. Scorpion smiled and handed the child a small puppet toy. At this moment, he understood that true art is a creation that combines emotion and protection. And he finally found the destination of his art in the Sand Village, no longer obsessed with the once cold concept of eternal art. Days passed, and Scorpion completely became an indispensable member of the Sand Village. However, the peaceful days did not last long, and a mysterious force quietly approached the Sand Village.

This force has powerful ninjutsu that can control the power of nature. They attempt to seize the precious chakra veins under the Sand Village. Scorpion leads the villagers to step up the improvement of the defensive puppet mechanism. However, the opponent is strong and soon breaks through the outer defense line.

At the critical moment, Scorpion decided to activate the ultimate puppet he had secretly developed. This puppet combined all his efforts and the newly realized emotional power. He controlled the puppet to rush into the enemy camp, and a sandstorm raged for a while, and the battle was extremely fierce.

After a hard battle, Scorpion finally defeated the mysterious force with the powerful power of the puppets and the concerted efforts of the villagers. After this battle, Scorpion's name became known to the entire ninja world, and he became a hero of the Sand Village. From then on, Scorpion was more determined to protect the Sand Village, inherit the artistic concept of integrating emotion and protection, and cultivate a new generation of puppet masters. The Sand Village also prospered under his protection. Many years later, the Sand Village ushered in a period of peaceful and stable development, and Scorpion gradually grew old. He compiled his lifelong puppet making technology and artistic concepts into a book and passed it on to the younger generation in the village.

On a quiet night, Scorpion walked alone to the sand dunes outside the village, looking at the starry sky. He thought of his ups and downs in life, from being lost in the dark road of immortal art to returning to the Sand Village to find the true artistic destination, and his heart was filled with emotion.

At this time, a small sandworm crawled to his feet, and Scorpion gently picked it up, as if he saw the tenacious vitality of the Sand Village. He knew that even if he would eventually leave, the artistic spirit he left behind would be like this sandworm, deeply rooted in this land, and forever protect the Sand Village.

Scorpion slowly closed his eyes, with a peaceful smile on his lips, and ended his legendary life on the land he loved so much. With respect and gratitude, the villagers buried him on the highest sand dune in the village, and his tombstone became the symbol of the eternal guardian of Sand Village. Many years later, Sand Village suffered a rare drought. The crops failed, the water source dried up, and the villagers fell into despair. Just when everyone was at a loss, a young puppeteer stood up. He was the disciple who received the most profound teachings from Scorpion, named Afeng.

A Feng remembered that Scorpion had mentioned an ancient puppet mechanism before his death, which was said to be able to regulate the climate. He carefully searched for clues in Scorpion's relics and finally found the design of the mechanism.

A Feng carefully built the puppet mechanism according to the blueprint. The process was full of difficulties, but he never gave up. The villagers were encouraged and came to help.

After months of hard work, the puppet mechanism was finally completed. When the mechanism was activated, the sky gradually became overcast and rain poured down.

The rain saved the Sand Village from extinction. The villagers cheered and rejoiced, knowing that this was not only the credit of Afeng, but also the blessing of Scorpion's artistic spirit.

From then on, the puppet masters of the Sand Village respected the artistic concepts left by Scorpion even more. They passed it down from generation to generation. No matter what difficulties and obstacles they encountered, they would overcome them with wisdom and unity. The Sand Village has also remained prosperous.
