Chapter 162 Wind Shadow (4)

The battle now took the form of Ye Shan and the Third Kazekage puppets floating in the air, each with a pair of majestic wings behind them, looking like birdmen from afar. As for Scorpion, he couldn't fly, so he had to crane his neck to move his sight to the sky, and the greed in his eyes increased instead of decreasing.

Meeting is not scary. Whoever can't fly will be embarrassed. Scorpio is the embarrassed one now.

Every year, there are people who rise to fame in the ninja world. They are young and promising, they are young and passionate, they are fearless, and they don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. So every year, there are a few geniuses who die miserably, because they always think they are good enough and can challenge those successful predecessors.

Ye Shan was also young once, and he knows the energy and unwillingness to admit defeat in the hearts of the younger generation. In fact, this is a good thing, as it represents that the bloody profession of ninja has successors, but Ye Shan still does not like to be provoked.

He believed that the reputation of a ninja should not be built on the corpses of their predecessors. The younger generation did not have to be anxious, they just needed to stay alive, and when the older generation passed away, the ninja world would naturally be theirs.

So from the beginning to the end, Yeshan was not an aggressive ninja. Fighting was not a child's game that could be stopped at a certain point. Fighting meant one side died and the other side survived. It was a pity that his thoughts were not understood by others.

How did you say that? Oh, yes, there are always some funny people who want to provoke me.

Of course, the reason for this battle is not to blame Scorpion, even if he became a notorious traitor, it was Hayama who came to him. However, Hayama is not a reasonable ninja, he is not used to resolving disputes by reasoning, he is not a politician like Sarutobi Hiruzen who can talk without a script for most of the day, and he is still unrestrained and chic with all his strength.

This place is less than ten kilometers away from the Sand Village. Considering that the Sand Ninjas had just lost the Third Kazekage, who was highly expected by the people, and the entire village has now become a powder keg that can explode at any time, Yeshan decided to end the battle quickly and ruthlessly crush the delusion in the boy's heart.

It doesn't matter that Thunder Style, Earth Style, Fire Style, and Metal Style are not very effective against iron sand. Ye Shan also has Water Style that can defeat the enemy, or it would be more appropriate to say Sea Style.

An unexpected scene happened in front of Scorpion's eyes. A small artificial lake appeared in the desert of the Wind Kingdom that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. Layers of water appeared out of thin air, without any consideration of whether it was reasonable to say so.

Ye Shan, with the Wings of Water on his back and his arms folded across his chest, stood beside the roaring lake with a calm expression. The hazy blue chakra on his body didn't even fade a bit.

"Congeal!" Ye Shan shouted coldly, and in an instant the lake water began to swirl as if being stirred by a giant pillar. Then, in front of Scorpion's horrified gaze, it mercilessly swallowed up the extremely tiny third-generation wind shadow puppet.

"boom!"

A huge amount of water fell from mid-air, forming countless tiny streams in the desert. The heat in the air was swept away, and a vast amount of water vapor filled the sky and the earth, making the scorpion, who had lived in the desert since childhood, feel uncomfortable and his mouth became dry.

As for the third generation Wind Shadow Puppet, although he tried his best to release iron sand to prevent the invasion of water, he was still powerless in the overwhelming water and fell down in just a few breaths.

A lifelike water dragon twisted its body, and the tentacles at the corners of its mouth wrapped around the Third-generation Wind Shadow puppet that had lost the ability to move. It came to Ye Shan's side, shaking its head, as if asking for credit.

Ye Shan chuckled, stretched out a hand to grab the puppet's collar, and looked at the once famous Third Kazekage from close range.

This puppet, made of one-to-one raw materials, looks like a real person, with its eyebrows, hair, and limbs all full of elastic muscles. It is obvious that it has only been dead for a few days, but the light in its eyes is dim, without a trace of life.

As the leader of the Sand Village, the Third Kazekage was fortunate enough to be witnessed by Ye Shan during the Second Ninja World War. He still remembers his arrogant attitude, and how he easily killed five elite jonins of Konoha, which made the weak Ye Shan envious. He never thought that he would look like this when he met him again, which shows that the ninja world has changed a lot.

The greed in Scorpion's eyes and the arrogance on his face disappeared, his hands remained upright in front of his chest like chicken claws, and his body became stiff. He knew that Ye Shan was very strong, and Chiyo had told him more than once to be careful of this Konoha ninja, but he didn't take it to heart.

In his opinion, there are many strong people in the ninja world, but Ye Shan should not have a place in it anyway. It's not that Scorpion is narrow-minded, it's just that the ninja world is a world that depends on the name.

Why do we say that we should look at the name? Let’s take a simple example. When a few people are drinking together, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, they can’t help but brag about their fighting prowess and achievements.

A said: I killed so-and-so in such-and-such a place in such-and-such a year. He was a jonin, so I am greater than a jonin.

Everyone says you are awesome, but they don't agree in their hearts. There are many examples of the weak defeating the strong in the ninja world. Who knows if that senior ninja was killed by you when he was half-dead.

B said: I am proficient in three types of chakra, and my escape technique can suffocate the enemy.

There was a trace of solemnity on everyone's face. A ninja who could master three types of chakra was a jonin, even if he was not an elite jonin. A Kage was a jonin, so he was equal to a Kage.

C said: I once killed someone from a certain village by myself. He was a Jonin who had reached the bloodline level.

Everyone praised him and thought he was really awesome, as he had killed a tough ninja in the bloodline realm as a commoner ninja.

At this time Ding spoke: I have not participated in any battles, nor have I killed any enemies, but my last name is Uchiha.

The other three couldn't sit still. Although Ding didn't have any achievements, he deserved the word "awesome" just by virtue of his surname. So, Ding became the eldest brother, Bing became the second, and Yi became the third.

For thousands of years, the only people who have had the honor of leaving their mark in the history of ninjas are those with names and surnames. Don't believe it? What's Madara's surname? What's Hashirama's surname? What's Tobirama's surname? What's Hiruzen's surname? What's Ōnoki's surname?

It is true that Scorpion is an excellent puppeteer, but does he have a surname?

So it's not Scorpion's fault that his ideas are extreme, but the fact that there has never been any famous figure among the civilian ninjas so far. Jiraiya and Orochimaru are not civilian ninjas, they are the disciples of the Hokage, which is much more useful than a last name.

In a word, there are no strong civilian ninjas. This is the conclusion drawn by Scorpion and also by history.

But tonight, Scorpion's inherent three views were shattered. Ye Shan's arrogant attitude caused a 999 critical blow to his mind. Now if you say that Ye Shan's surname is Senju, he thinks it is reasonable.

Otherwise, what is the matter with this sea escape in front of us?

Since the death of the Second Hokage, hasn't it become a consensus that no one can use Sea Release in a waterless area?

Moreover, Scorpion even saw countless water blades, water guns, and water dragons emerging from the water. All of them were lifelike and extremely agile. Is this the water control ability that a normal water-style ninja should have?

I feel numb, really numb. I thought that after I got the puppet of the Third Kazekage, my future would be filled with stars and sea. I didn't expect to be slapped hard in the face as soon as I left the village. One slap left five finger marks.

If I had no inferiority complex when I was young and successful... Ugh, how could I not have inferiority complex? !

Thanks for the invitation, but when you are in the ninja world, you get beaten up as soon as you step out.

When Ye Shan fell from mid-air onto the muddy sand, he saw Scorpion with a dazed look on his face, as if he had just undergone an electric shock therapy.

"Could this kid be scared silly?" Ye Shan muttered to himself.

Never mind. Time is running out now. The important thing is to kill the other party and return to the Fire Nation. There is no time to take care of his broken heart.

Just when Ye Shan was about to finish off Scorpion with one strike, an anxious voice came from afar: "Sir Ye Shan, please wait a moment!"

Ye Shan raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked back, only to see two figures running quickly on the sand. In just a few jumps, they came not far from him. They were Chiyo and her younger brother Ebizo.

"Sir Yeshan, I beg you to let Scorpion go. He is young and hot-headed, but he has a kind heart." Chiyo said breathlessly, with an anxious look on her face.

Not a bad heart???

Ye Shan was speechless. It turns out that behind every naughty child there is a carefree parent.

"Didn't you see the battle just now?"

Chiyo was stunned for a moment, then said honestly, "I didn't see it. I just saw that huge water escape technique."

“Haha, whether you really didn’t see it or you were just pretending to be stupid, your grandson is not a kind-hearted person.”

Chiyo looked at the dejected Scorpion, and couldn't help but feel pity for him. "Sir, just speak frankly. Once other people from the village arrive, I won't have the final say."

This is to settle it privately.

Ye Shan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little afraid of the power of the Sand Village. Upon hearing this, he took out a scroll and threw it to Chiyo: "Take a look for yourself."

Chiyo tore open the scroll in confusion, and saw the word "seal" engraved in the middle of the scroll. She didn't know what Ye Shan was planning, but her brother was right beside her, so the two Kage-level ninjas were not afraid of each other. She gritted her teeth, formed a seal, and slapped the scroll.

"Oh!"

After the smoke cleared, a figure appeared in the sight of Chiyo and Ebizo, causing their expressions to change suddenly.

"Impossible... This is impossible..."

Chiyo looked at the lifeless Third Kazekage who had turned into a puppet, staggered and fell to the ground, her hands shaking.

She had already prepared herself mentally for the death of the Third Kazekage. The ending of a kage suddenly disappearing in the village was self-evident, but she could not accept that it was Scorpion who killed the Kazekage.

On one side is the interests of the village, and on the other side is her favorite grandson. Even though Chiyo is very strong-minded, she is caught in a dilemma.

If Scorpion is handed over to the village, his grandson will surely die; if Scorpion is hidden, the unclear death of the Third Kazekage will inevitably cause an uproar, and may even become the fuse of a war in the Ninja World. Chiyo has lost her former decisiveness as she has to deal with both sides of the problem.

Ebizo's eyebrows were very long and drooped on his face, but he was able to remain calm. He stepped forward to help up his sister who had always been strong-willed, and said in a deep voice: "How do you plan to deal with this matter, Lord Yeshan?"

Ebizo knew his sister's temper very well. She would definitely side with family ties. As for the Third Kazekage, he was dead, and a dead person could not be compared with a living grandson. Therefore, Ye Shan's attitude was particularly important.

If Ebizo had not been afraid of Ye Shan's strength and knew that he could not kill him in a short time, he would have taken action long ago. The excuse for the ninjas from Konoha Village to sneak into the village and assassinate the Kazekage was perfect.

Unfortunately, Ebizo is a shrewd and experienced ninja, not like Scorpion, who is a rookie and ignorant of the world.

Ye Shan smiled faintly: "I think killing Scorpion is the most appropriate way. After all, the methods used by the Anbu of Sand Village to extract confessions are also well-known in the ninja world."

"Impossible, Scorpion can't die!"

Chiyo calmed down and said firmly: "Sir Yeshan, I have nothing to say now, but Scorpion cannot die. The rest can be discussed."

The power structure of the Sand Village is quite similar to that of the Uchiha clan, divided into the Kage faction and the elders faction. Chiyo is the person who speaks for the elders, so he naturally does not get along with the Third Kazekage. It is not surprising that he favors his grandson.

For Chiyo, the death of the Third Kazekage was over. As long as a new Kazekage was chosen, the village would return to normal. However, she only had one grandson, and if he died, she would have no descendants. If the puppetry technique died, there would be no successor.

As long as the cause of death of the Third Kazekage is concealed, it would be nothing more than a change of Kage. There would be plenty of ninjas in the village who want to be Kazekage.
