[Naruto] The Disaster of the Red Sand Scorpion

The day of the chunin exam.

Looking at the few extra puppets on the table, Xie checked them over and found that there were no major problems, except that there were relatively few weapons and equipment - no wonder, she rushed out the work in a few days, and it was pretty good to have such a standard. .

Xie looked at the time and saw that there were still a few hours before the agreed time. He took out the tools to make improvements. He was the one using them anyway, so he could make the changes he wanted.

However, why does she like to use people around her as samples so much? The first one was him, then herself, and now the three people from Class 7. Does she want to use everyone she knows as puppet samples?

Speaking of which, Xie paused for a moment. He looked at the puppets in front of him again. Maybe she had the talent to be a human puppet.

Unfortunately, she probably wouldn't be willing to do it.

"You bastard!"

He could even imagine her expression when she found out that she had this intention. What a pity.

After the improvement was completed, Xie put the puppet into the scroll and put the scroll into a slightly larger ninja tool bag.

After getting ready, he joined Naruto and Sasuke and headed towards the exam building.

Passing by the beaten examinee, Xie didn't even look at it, he immediately unlocked the illusion and passed directly past the two people guarding the door.

"Please wait!"

Xie didn't listen at all and walked towards the third floor without stopping.

Kakashi was waiting at the door. When he saw Scorpion coming, he was slightly confused, "Why are you alone?"

Scorpion looked back, and Naruto and Sasuke were gone. Thinking of the scene I saw on the second floor before, I guess something happened again. It's none of his business anyway.

Kakashi knew without asking that the two brats were in conflict with someone else again. He looked at the ceiling distressedly, and then focused on the girl in front of him.

It's nerve-wracking, Sakura isn't here during the exam.

Kakashi sighed in his heart, and said with a smile on the surface: "Since it's you this time, then just treat it as a relaxation."

We are leaving today.

After Sakura organized everything and made sure nothing was missed, she was about to go out.

Meeting Chiyo again in the living room, Sakura stopped, thinking that she had been seen through, and she hesitated a little.

But Sakura spoke first, "I'm leaving." She paused, "Grandma."

Hearing her name, Chiyo was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How many puppets can you control at the same time?"

Sakura didn't know why Chiyo asked her this question. She answered honestly: "Two."

two? Chiyo was silent. She had heard from Xia that this child was very talented, but she never thought he would be so good. How long has this child been practicing puppeteering? No, puppet control is not entirely dependent on talent. It requires very high chakra control abilities and mental thinking abilities.

In addition, I only watched her make the puppet once that day, so I was able to make and even repair it myself based on the notes...

This kid is really smart.

Sakura, who hadn't heard a sound for a long time, thought Chiyo was dissatisfied with her slow progress, because she had heard her say that Scorpion could control eight puppets at the same time - which was already very impressive at this age.

Sure enough, she is still very bad.

"sorry, I……"

"That kid is really big-hearted." Chiyo interrupted Sakura. She waved to Sakura and then handed Sakura a scroll. "These are some of my experiences on medical ninjutsu. I leave them to you now."

"Eh?" Sakura reflexively wanted to refuse, but Chiyo stuffed it into her hand without any explanation.

"You get hurt too easily," Chiyo said. "This is just for my grandson, but also for your sake."

After hearing what Chiyo said, Sakura had to accept, "Thank you."

"You read the book inside first, and I will take you to do the actual operation when you come back."

"Yes."

"The puppet technique cannot be left behind, and we will work hard to increase the number of controls to four."

"Yes."

Chiyo explained to Sakura sentence by sentence, and Sakura saw the shadow of her mother in Chiyo. Every time before going out, her mother always nags her like this, fearing that something might happen to her because of her mission.

Sakura couldn't help but promise as she did to her mother: "I will protect myself."

Chiyo stopped talking. Looking at Sakura, she seemed to see Scorpion when she was a child. He was also so well-behaved at that time. She touched Sakura's hair and said, "Go ahead."

By the time Naruto and Sasuke arrived in the classroom, Scorpion had already found a good seat and sat down. On his left was the Suna Ninja, and on his right was the Sound Ninja.

Seeing him coming, both groups of people showed the same vigilant expression. Especially Toss, he always felt that this woman was here to cause trouble.

But Scorpio just happens to be sitting here.

After all, he was not in the right mood that day. It is estimated that all the ninjas here were ridiculed by him, which can be seen from their murderous eyes.

"Has Sunagakure Village fallen to this level?"

The girl's voice rang in the Suna Ninja's ears, and Gaara looked over with an expressionless face. It was the Konoha kunoichi that day.

"You are Rasa's son, right." Seeing Gaara's reaction to his words, Xia smiled softly, "At your age, Rasa is already a Jonin."

Temari and Kankuro stared at Scorpion with angry eyes. How dare this Konoha ninja slander their village like this?

But what he said next made them forget about being angry.

"Or is it that your status as a jinchuriki limits you?"

Temari and Kankuro looked at this arrogant girl in horror. Is she crazy? She said such things to Gaara. Doesn't she want to live?

A strong murderous aura enveloped the classroom. Others who didn't know what was going on moved away from the center of danger as their biological instincts followed. There was a large area of ​​space around Scorpion and Gaara.

The battle is imminent.

"We will not lose to you!"

The energetic voice penetrated the air, disrupting the originally tense atmosphere.

Xie looked over and saw that all newcomers to Konoha except him were gathered at the door, very conspicuous. Naruto even pointed his finger at the ninjas present and made his passionate declaration.

Because the crowd was far away, Naruto, who was facing them, saw Scorpion, and he waved to Scorpion happily. Then he saw Scorpion and Gaara face to face, and he asked in confusion: "Sakura-chan, when did your relationship with them become so good?"

Temari and Kankuro: Idiots!

Fortunately, Naruto interrupted. Gaara, who kept his mission in mind, calmed down and pretended that the provocation just now did not exist.

Gee.

The attention of the ninjas present suddenly shifted from Gaara to Naruto, Scorpion, and the newcomers to Konoha.

The Five Shadows Conference is held in a neutral country, a place where it snows all year round, which is completely opposite to the Kingdom of Wind.

At Luo Sa's reminder, Sakura put on the same cloak as the Third Kazekage and put it on when she was almost there.

After leaving the village, looking at the still windy and sandy front, Sakura had a bad feeling in her heart. Because there will be problems every time you leave the village, and Grandma Chiyo said that the invisible war is still in the hearts of all countries, so it will definitely not be safe along the way.

"But if it were me, I would choose to do it on the way back." Sakura remembered what she said to Grandma Chiyo at the time, "This way it would be less likely to be suspected."

Chiyo did not comment on her words, but looked at her with a complicated expression, and then asked her an irrelevant question: "How old are you this year?"

Sakura was confused: "Twelve years old, what happened?"

Chiyo shook his head, "You're absolutely right."

Although I don’t know why Grandma Chiyo looks at her like that, there is indeed no ambush on the way to the destination.

Sakura had already put on her cloak when she stepped into the neutral country. It was indeed not as cold as before. She looked to the side. Forget it, the Third Kazekage. Rasa didn't wear much, but he acted very calm and didn't feel cold at all.

Looking at the other guards who came to participate, except for her, they seemed to be in high spirits. Damn it, is this a real jounin?

As Sakura looked at them, the others also noticed the red-haired boy. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Even though he had no expression on the surface, his eyes were full of emotions, which was so understandable.

Kazekage actually brought such a child?
