Konoha's Scarlet Flower Moon

The Country of Grass and the Border of the Country of Fire

This place is in ruins, and the buildings everywhere seem to have been cut open by sharp knives. On this land, now only the sound of crows is left.

A day ago, this was a peaceful village on the border, with a small population but a warm atmosphere.

Just like other villages between national borders,

The identity of this village is very embarrassing. They are like duckweeds caught between big countries in troubled times. They neither belong to the Country of Grass nor are they recognized by the big country of Fire.

Living in seclusion among the mountains can lead to a peaceful life.

However, after the arrival of the man hiding under the hood, the nightmare also came.

A killing without any emotion, leaving no one alive in the entire village.

A strong wind suddenly rose, and the red light shone,

On this already silent ruin, thick smoke rose from the houses, and fire swept through the entire village in an instant.

All tangible things became nutrients for the flames, and only the remaining smoke flew up, straight into the sky, and could be seen from far away.

A figure with short black hedgehog hair stood in front of the fire. He was surrounded by dense iron sand and his face was dull.

This fire was released by this person using the combined force of fire escape and wind escape ninjutsu.

Upon closer inspection, although this humanoid has human features, its arms and legs are bent into strange arcs, very stiff, and its face is gray, not like a living thing.

The answer is very obvious,

This is a "human puppet" that requires very high craftsmanship. It can retain many of the abilities of the deceased. It is the highest artistic masterpiece of a young puppet master so far.

This masterpiece had a name that resounded throughout the ninja world during his lifetime, and he was once called the strongest Kazekage.

Yes, the "human puppet" is none other than the third-generation Kazekage who disappeared from Suna Ninja Village not long ago. He became the declaration of the genius puppet master's betrayal of his hometown, and also became a sacrifice of art.

At this moment, the chakra line connecting the human puppet was broken, and the "human puppet" of the Third Kazekage turned into white smoke with a "bang" and was taken back into the storage scroll.

Follow the disconnected chakra lines to see,

A red-haired boy under the age of eighteen took off his black hooded cloak.

Under his feet were several corpses arranged neatly, as if they had been carefully planned by someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and they needed to be organized.

This red-haired boy is the genius puppet master of Sand Ninja Village who created the "Human Puppet" - the Red Sand Scorpion.

His face was very calm, letting the flames of the ruins around him burn that would reveal his location, and he walked attentively among the corpses, picking something among them.

This village is different from the Rain Kingdom village that he massacred yesterday. It has a lot of good puppet materials, and it can finally pass the time before the battle.

Scorpion took out the tools for making puppets and concentrated on creating new works of art. He stopped moving, as if waiting for something.

He believed that "that person" would never miss such an abnormality so close at hand.

The biggest enemy of the Crimson Sand Scorpion will definitely come!

He has been preparing for this battle for many years!

Thinking of this, Scorpion's eyes were filled with crazy killing intent!

Definitely do it this time!

Kill that man!

Country of Fire·Taiwa Ninja Outpost

In the morning, there were at least five ninjas standing guard in a tall sentry tower. Under the sentry tower, there were several rooms for the ninjas of Konoha Village who had been stationed here for many years to rest.

In one of the rooms, there is also a barrier squad hidden, responsible for sensing the situation around the sentry tower as a backup for the alarm.

At the top of the sentry tower, a silver-haired man walked up.

After seeing him, a guarding chuunin saluted him with great respect.

The silver-haired man who came to the sentry tower with a knife on his back was Sakumo Hatake, who was sent out of the village due to the "rumor" incident. He is like the patron saint of this sentry tower and has been stationed here for three years. .

Everyone believes that as long as this "Konoha White Fang" is here, they will be safe.
