Chapter 986 Rebirth
Humanity, I am afraid that it will not get this chance to be reborn. " Deidara said, standing aside with his arms folded.
Scorpion slowly put down his hand, a bitter smile appeared on his face, "Humanity? That kind of thing has long left me. I am just a tool for revenge now. Even if I am reborn, the hatred in my heart will be difficult to dissipate."
"But now you have the opportunity to make a new choice, Brother Scorpion." Deidara stared at Scorpion with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Scorpion was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, the laughter echoing around him seemed particularly strange. After laughing, he looked up into the distance, "Choose again? My fate has been determined from the beginning, how can it be easily changed. But now that I have been given life again, those who have hurt me in the past will not have an easy life." After saying this, Scorpion clenched his fists, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Deidara sighed helplessly. He knew it was not easy to change Scorpion's mind. He could only stand aside silently and wait for Scorpion's next move.
At this moment, a gust of sand blew up. Luo Sha frowned and became alert. He saw several figures walking out of the dust. They were the elders of the Sand Village. "Luo Sha, we think we can give Scorpion of the Red Sand a chance." An elder said. Luo Sha was shocked. "Elders, how can he be forgiven for such a serious crime?" The elder shook his head. "The Sand Village has lost talents in recent years. If Scorpion is willing to return to the village and serve the village, it is not a bad idea to atone for his sins. Moreover, he is originally from the Sand Village. If he is guided, he may become a helper." Scorpion listened to these words and sneered, "Do you think I will still believe the words of the Sand Village? When you abandoned me, did you ever think about today?" Deidara hurriedly advised, "Brother Scorpion, this may be a turning point." Scorpion was silent for a moment, "I can consider it, but I have conditions. One is to find my puppet body back, and the other is that I will only act according to my own judgment and not be commanded by others." Luo Sha looked embarrassed. After several elders discussed in a low voice, they finally nodded in agreement. Scorpion's mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc. He knew that a new storm was about to set off in the Sand Village. Scorpion began to look for his puppet body. With the clues in his memory, he came to the secret place where the puppet body was hidden. However, when he arrived there, he found that the puppet body was incomplete and there were traces of fighting around it. Scorpion's face became extremely ugly. He realized that someone had set a trap here a long time ago.
At the same time, the Sand Village was not peaceful. Some villagers heard that Scorpion was going to return to the village and expressed their opposition. They were worried that Scorpion would bring disaster again. This uneasy mood gradually spread and even affected the morale of some ninjas.
Scorpion returned to the village and saw everyone's suspicious eyes, and the anger in his heart burned even more vigorously. "It seems that Sand Village is still the same and can't tolerate me." He said coldly. Luosha tried to appease Scorpion, but Scorpion didn't listen at all. At this time, the enemy hiding in the dark saw the opportunity to launch an attack, aiming directly at the core area of Sand Village. Scorpion looked at the incoming enemies and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "No matter what, let's deal with these guys first." So he temporarily put aside his resentment towards Sand Village and threw himself into the battle against foreign enemies. Scorpion showed amazing strength in the battle. He controlled the few remaining puppets to fight flexibly, and each attack was accurate and deadly. Although the enemy was numerous, they were gradually at a disadvantage in the face of Scorpion's fierce offensive.
Seeing how hard Scorpion fought against the enemy, the ninjas of the Sand Village were less resentful of him. Deidara also joined the battle, throwing explosive clay in the air and cooperating with Scorpion to create wave after wave of attacks.
As the last enemy fell, Scorpion was covered with dust and blood. He looked at the surrounding Sand Village ninjas and said coldly: "Don't think that I will forgive Sand Village for what it did before." Luo Sha stepped forward, "Scorpion, we have all seen your ability and contribution to the village. We will consider how to make up for our previous debt to you." Scorpion snorted and turned to walk towards the place where the puppet parts were stored. He knew that only by repairing his puppet body could he truly have power, whether it was to deal with the disputes within Sand Village or other threats that might come from the outside. Sand Village was also in a dilemma at this moment, both to appease Scorpion and to calm the villagers' concerns. When Scorpion was repairing the puppet body, he found that he was missing a special material that could only be found in the treasure house of Sand Village. He found Luo Sha and asked to enter the treasure house to obtain the material. Luo Sha agreed after hesitation. However, when Scorpion entered the treasure house, the alarm suddenly sounded. It turned out that the forces that opposed Scorpion's return were secretly making trouble and wanted to frame Scorpion for theft.
Scorpion was furious, and he didn't want to endure this unwarranted frame-up any longer. Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Deidara stood up to testify for Scorpion and pointed out that someone had deliberately framed him. Rosa ordered a thorough investigation of the matter to find out who was behind the trouble.
After investigation, the truth came to light. Those troublemakers were punished, and the villagers began to slowly accept Scorpion. After Scorpion got the materials to repair the puppet's body, his strength went to a higher level. But he did not relax his vigilance because he knew that the crisis of Sand Village was not completely resolved. He proposed to Luosha to establish a more stringent mechanism to prevent external enemies and traitors. Luosha recognized and adopted his suggestion. From then on, Scorpion officially gained a foothold in Sand Village and began to write a new chapter of his own. Although Scorpion has gained a foothold in Sand Village, he always has his own plans in his mind. One day, Scorpion received a secret report saying that a mysterious force was collecting the power of the tailed beasts with the intention of subverting the balance of various ninja villages.
Scorpion found Luosha and said that this force should not be underestimated and must be attacked proactively. Luosha was a little hesitant, after all, the Sand Village had just stabilized. Scorpion taunted him, "Do you want to wait until they hit you at your doorstep before you fight back?" Luosha was enraged and finally agreed to let Scorpion lead a team to investigate.
Scorpion set out with Deidara and the others. Following the clues, they found the base of the mysterious force. It was a huge fortress hidden in the valley. Scorpion sneaked in first and easily eliminated several guards with puppets.
However, when they went deeper into the fortress, they found that it was full of various traps. Deidara accidentally triggered one, and countless hidden weapons shot at him. Scorpion calmly controlled the puppet to resist and cracked the trap at the same time.
Just as they were about to approach the core area, a powerful force suddenly attacked. A man in a black robe appeared in front of them and said coldly: "Red Sand Scorpion, you shouldn't have come." Scorpion sneered and responded: "Today is the day your conspiracy will be shattered." The two sides were instantly on the verge of a war.
