Chapter 242: Generation and Scorpion (4K words, please subscribe!)

The yellow sand rolled, and the whole sky seemed to be dyed into khaki color by the sand.

The dim clouds seemed to be filled with sand, heavy and dense.

The border of the Kingdom of Wind.

The main camp of the Sand Ninja.

There are tents everywhere here, and there are even Sand Ninja sentinels lurking in some inconspicuous sand dunes.

Main account.

Chiyo took off her windproof and sandproof jacket, threw it to Ebizo, and whispered, "I'll go see Gaara."

Ebizo sighed, "I think you shouldn't have brought that child to the front line."

Chiyo turned around and glared at Ebizo, "This is his responsibility and obligation!"

Ebizo didn't say anything. He looked at his sister's back and whispered, "Sister, are you really not considering giving in? Considering the current situation in the ninja world, surrender may be the best option..."

"Enough!" Chiyo said firmly: "If they wanted to surrender, why didn't Sunagakure surrender to the original Konoha long ago?"

Ebizo looked thoughtful, and then said with reason: "Because the original Konoha was managed by a bunch of idiots!"

"..."

Chiyo had a strange look on her face.

Ebizo nodded and confirmed: "So, they were replaced by Yinyue."

"..."

Chiyo looked solemn.

She left the main tent thoughtfully and walked towards another tent.

On the road.

She thought carefully about Ebizo's suggestion.

Today’s Sand Village…

The number of ninjas is no more than ten thousand. A long time ago, the Daimyo of the Wind Country reduced the military expenditures of the ninja villages.

But now, something unexpected happened to Luosha, which resulted in the main source of income for the ninja village, which was selling gold place, being completely cut off.

The Sand Village today is just an empty shell, how could she not know this?

However, the reason why she persisted so much was the last bit of pride in her heart.

As an orthodox puppeteer passed down from the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure, as... a high-ranking member of Sunagakure, who had experienced the previous Ninja World Wars, he was proud of the final standing.

The wind and sand hit Chiyo's old face like a knife.

But she walked into the tent she had been looking at slowly and calmly in the strong wind as if she were walking on flat ground.

"Grandma—"

Gaara raised his head and looked at the tent door that was opened from the outside.

He stood up from the ground, walked quickly forward, and closed the tent door for Chiyo.

As Chiyo entered the tent, the noisy sound of the wind in her ears was blocked outside the tent.

Chiyo slowly squatted down, now she was the same height as Gaara in front of her.

rustle--

As he squatted down, the gravel on his body formed into streams, slowly falling to the ground inside the tent.

Chiyo had a kind look on her face, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled old face.

She reached out and rubbed Gaara's head, then asked with a smile, "Are you feeling a little bored?"

Gaara looked down at the ground, obviously trying to escape, and whispered:

"Ah."

He didn't lie, although there were no peers of his age in the Ninja Village who made him uncomfortable, there were no Temari and Kankuro either.

"Wait a little longer, wait a few more days, maybe we can go back."

Chiyo had a peaceful look on her face as she spoke soothingly in a low voice.

She looked at Gaara carefully.

Ever since that bastard Rasa got into trouble, she has been taking care of Gaara, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki.

During this time.

Gaara followed her and his personality was obviously much more cheerful than before.

At least, I'm not as autistic as before.

When he was with her, Gaara was able to reveal his true emotions.

Gaara himself could sense that this Grandma Chiyo was completely different from his father, but he couldn't put that feeling into words.

just like…

This mother-in-law is his real relative.

"Yeah." Little Gaara suddenly said, "If Temari and Kankuro were here, it would be nice to be here."

After all, the sound of wind and sand outside the tent is what he has been hearing alone since he was a child.

He had been without a mother since he was a child, and the only thing that accompanied him for a long time was the whistling sound outside his bedroom window that seemed to never stop.

He would usually lean against the window and listen carefully to the whistling of the wind and sand.

In the time between deep sleep and wakefulness, due to the deep desire in his heart, Gaara always felt that he could hear the call from his mother hidden in the sound of the wind.

Even though her voice was weak.

Chiyo smiled and said:

"Grandma will accompany you."

Little Gaara shook his head obediently and said, "I know you are very busy, mother-in-law. I am here alone and can take care of myself."

He knew very early on that he was the biggest threat in the eyes of others.

Therefore, when Gaara is alone, he feels lonely inside, but he is very comfortable.

In the past few days, Chiyo has been taking him to handle official business, and Gaara can also feel the difficulties of this mother-in-law.

"Haha..." Chiyo smiled and shook her head, "I'm busy today. Oh, by the way, I invited a few special guests today. They said they want to show you some special skills. Do you want to see it?"

"really?"

Gaara's eyes lit up.

Subsequently.

He sat in front of Chiyo, hugged his feet with both hands, and whispered:

"Then...will they be afraid of me?"

Chiyo quickly shook her head, "Of course not, look, they're coming."

As soon as Chiyo finished saying this, she immediately regretted it. She always felt that there was a weird and scary atmosphere.

But she couldn't care less.

She quietly shook off several scrolls on the edge of her robe, and at the same time, she formed seals with her hands.

bang bang bang-

There were crisp sounds, and then the white mist exploded, and puppets wearing pure white robes and looking like evil spirits appeared beside Gaara.

They have hideous faces and strange appearances. Some look like evil monks, some look like evil ghosts with goat horns and human faces guarding hell, and some even have a bright red cat face. They are of different heights, weights, and appearances.

This is... the Chikamatsu Ten!

A team of ten puppets that was feared in many Ninja World Wars.

They had accompanied Chiyo and traveled through the most dangerous battlefields.

With ten bodies, unique weapons, and excellent coordination, they can resist a thousand ninjas.

It is precisely because of them in her hands that Chiyo, in addition to being famous for poisoning and detoxification on the battlefield, can also directly and unscrupulously harvest enemy ninjas, which is also the main reason why she is feared by the ninjas in other villages.

The appearance of these monsters and demons.

Naturally, it scared Gaara.

He exclaimed, but he soon realized that these guests... didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, even though they looked scarier than himself.

Chiyo scratched her head and smiled bitterly. At this moment, her ten fingers all had tiny invisible chakra threads connected to the ten puppets.

After a moment of awkwardness.

The Chikamatsu Ten, with serious expressions and a solemn aura, suddenly began to twist their bodies irregularly, like dancers who had just learned how to dance.

Their limbs are stiff, their movements are uncoordinated, and they twist in a very weird way, but it is precisely because of this that the overall look gives people an extremely funny feeling.

"Giggle-"

Soon, Gaara was amused by one of the puppets and smiled.

Chiyo also showed a look of delight. As long as she could make him laugh, it was good that all her efforts were worthwhile.

Thinking of this, she looked at Gaara coldly, the gentleness and peace in her eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by the ferocity of a desert wolf.

Of course, this gaze passed through Gaara who was laughing heartily, and also passed through the puppet that was making Gaara laugh, like a sharp ice thorn piercing out of the tent.

"It is very immoral to disturb the elderly and their grandchildren playing."

Chiyo slowly stood up, her voice cold, then looked at Gaara and whispered, "Come behind Grandma and close your eyes."

Gaara immediately stopped laughing.

He heard seriousness and earnestness in Chiyo's voice, an emotion that only appeared when Chiyo was dealing with serious matters.

"Well--"

Gaara stood up and came behind Chiyo, closing his eyes and even covering his closed eyes with his hands.

At this time.

The roar of wind and sand began again, and holes were cut in the tent by several ninja swords.

The wind and sand poured into the tent like sea water.

Chiyo narrowed her eyes slightly.

The robe on her body suddenly fluttered, fluttering and rustling.

call--

Amid the whistling sound of wind and sand, the sound of several footsteps was heard.

Then, countless Sand Ninjas followed the sandstorm and rushed into the tent. They seemed to use the sandstorm as a cover and planned to launch a surprise attack on the people in the tent.

With a flash of cold light, each of them held a ninja sword in their hands and launched a surprise attack.

Chiyo naturally knew them.

This was the Sand Ninja jonin she had chosen for Gaara, lying in ambush outside the tent.

However, in Chiyo's view, their movements were stiff, and their eyes were bloodshot, as if they were in pain, like puppets fighting against some will, but unable to control their own will.

"Puppetry..." Chiyo's expression froze, "A puppetry that directly controls others?"

"Sorry."

Chiyo sighed, and the fingers of her hands, which were lowered vertically, trembled slightly.

Instantly, the White Secret Technique: The Ten Kinmatsu, those ten vicious puppets pounced on the controlled Sand Ninjas like tigers.

With their perfect coordination and the sharp weapons in their hands, they easily executed the dozen or so Sand Ninjas who suddenly attacked.

As the blood soaked through the canvas of the tent that isolated the sand on the ground, the Sand Ninjas fell to the bottom, but their faces relaxed and they seemed relieved.

The Chikamatsu Ten were like cold machines. After executing this group of Sand Ninjas, they immediately moved together and formed a triangle combat formation to protect Chiyo and Gaara in the middle.

After a long time.

call--

The wind was still blowing strongly outside the tent.

It seemed that the previous raid had completely ended and there was no other movement.

But Chiyo knew that the other party was trying to wear down her patience and will.

When this incident happened here, her younger brother had not yet brought ninja support. Obviously, her brother also encountered an attack.

Therefore, if you walk around outside now, you will end up in an inexplicably dangerous situation.

You know, she has stationed quite a few Sand Ninja teams here.

Even so.

Do invaders still dare to come here?

"Then their target is obvious." Chiyo turned around and looked at Gaara who was leaning against her with his eyes closed.

Could it be that Uchiha Yinyue?

Or the Konoha army?

Yin Yue has the eye technique that can directly control others, but the specific performance should not be like this, turning people into puppets with self-awareness.

If it was the Konoha army, the other side would probably resort to a head-on fight.

Furthermore, Chiyo had never heard that there were ninjas in the Konoha army who were skilled in puppetry.

You know, being able to turn a living person into a puppet in such a short time, even if the puppet's movements are a little stiff, is already the ceiling level for a puppeteer.

Even the second Kazekage of Sand Village, the master of puppetry, probably couldn't turn a living person into a puppet in such a short time.

Just as she lowered her head and thought, the whistling wind was accompanied by countless subtle variations of sounds.

Such subtle changes cannot be heard unless one is a person from the Sand Village who is accompanied by the sound of wind and sand all year round.

Chiyo's pupils froze, and she immediately threw out two more scrolls. Those were scrolls that she would not use unless it was absolutely necessary.

There are only two ordinary puppets sealed inside:

"Father and Mother!"

boom--

Puppets appeared, including a male puppet with orange-red hair whose outline was somewhat similar to Chiyo's in his lifetime, and a female puppet with long dark red hair.

After they appear.

The two immediately stood in front of Chiyo and Gaara, leaning slightly and opening their arms:

"Puppetry: Mechanical Light Shield Seal!!!"

Instantly, the two puppet arms of the father and mother opened outwards like the frames of an umbrella, or like opened satellite solar panels, and then, chakra blue light shields appeared on their arms.

at the same time.

The ten Chikamatsu men who had been guarding the front had already dispersed to the left and right.

call out--

Fine sounds of breaking through the air were heard, like a sudden rainstorm, tearing through the whistling sounds of wind and sand.

That is countless iron sand!!!

They enveloped Chiyo and Gaara like shotgun shells, but were ultimately blocked by the blue light shield released by Father and Mother.

But when Chiyo saw the familiar iron sand, her pupils shrank suddenly and she murmured:

"Satetsu Shigure!!!"

That was the ninjutsu that the Sandaime Kazekage was best at, a means of causing large-scale damage by manipulating iron sand to mimic a rainstorm.

At this time, outside the tent, a figure was walking slowly in the wind and sand.

He walked into the tent wearing a hood, then took off his hood, revealing his red hair and jade-like face.

"scorpion…"

Chiyo's lips trembled as she stared in disbelief at her grandson who just came before her.

Scorpion raised his head, looked at his grandmother, and said calmly: "Long time no see, I didn't disturb you from accompanying your grandson, I'm here, right?"

at the same time.

Behind him, a puppet wearing a black and gray windbreaker was suspended.

That person was none other than the Sandaime Kazekage who had previously released Sandetsu Shigure.

"The disappearance of the Sandaime Kazekage is actually related to you!!"

Chiyo looked at the Scorpion in front of her in disbelief.

"Sorry, now is not the time to talk. I need to take away...the other grandson from your side." Scorpion looked at Gaara coldly.

Chiyo fell into deep thought, her heart sank, her eyelids twitched wildly, and she just felt that something bad was going to happen today.

"Scorpion, don't make the same mistake again."

Chiyo manipulated her father and mother to take two steps forward.

When seeing the puppet he made when he was young, Scorpion's expression did not change, but Chiyo could clearly feel that his emotions had changed slightly.

"You don't understand." Scorpion murmured in a low voice, and then threw out a bundle of slender scrolls:

"Red Secret Technique: Hundred Machines Maneuver!!!"

He knew very well how powerful his grandmother was, and even when facing her in her old age, Scorpion did not dare to be careless.
