Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

These three short words contain Chiyo's longing for Scorpion for many years;

At the same time, Scorpion's cry of "Grandma" also made Chiyo very happy.

"Look, that's my grandson Scorpion!"

"My grandson is back in the village to see me!"

"My grandson, Scorpion, has never forgotten me, his grandmother..."

Chiyo forgot the hostility between the two sides and danced and showed off loudly in front of the Sand Village ninjas.

At this moment, she is no longer the elder of Sand Village and assistant to the Kazekage;

She was just a poor old woman who had waited for a long time and finally saw her beloved grandson return home.

Even though he had replaced his heart with a mechanical one with his own hands, looking at Chiyo's ecstatic expression, Scorpion suddenly felt...sad for no reason.

Perhaps, as a grandson, he should go back to the Sand Village to visit this old man from time to time...

Such a thought suddenly arose in Scorpio's mind.

……

"Grandma, please take them back. I will not hand Gaara over to you."

"Scorpion, you won't leave this time, okay?"

"Old man Whitebeard is my friend. Please give me the antidote."

"I will immediately order someone to cancel your traitorous ninja status. From now on, you can stay with grandma with a clear conscience..."

"You are doing well in the Akatsuki organization, grandma, don't worry."

"Your room has always been kept by your grandma, and she cleans it herself every day..."

The grandparents and grandchildren talked to each other.

It seemed as if he didn't hear what the other person said, but it also seemed as if he heard everything.

……

"Ah... As long as you and Gaara stay, I will give the antidote to Edward Newgate immediately."

Chiyo sighed and looked at Scorpion with burning eyes.

There had never been a moment when she wanted to see her grandson nod as much as she did now... but unfortunately Scorpion still disappointed him.

Scorpion shook his head slowly and said calmly.

“I won’t stay, and neither will Gaara.

Grandma, please hand over the antidote.

Otherwise, a mere Sand Village can’t stop us from doing anything…”

"Gulala la la la la~

It doesn’t matter if there is no antidote. I, Edward Newgate, don’t take this little poison seriously…”

The drug was slowly taking effect, and the old man with white beard had to lean on Kusunokiri to stand steadily. He once again used his devilish smile to stubbornly express to everyone -

He, the strongest man in the world, is in trouble!

Naruto: →_→……

"Dad, why is your face red?"

“Refreshed!”

"Why is it yellow again?"

"Wax for cold protection!"

Naruto: (ー_ー)!!...Tiger Mountain?!

"Now it's dark again, can you explain it?"

"The sun is too strong, it's burning."

Everyone in Akatsuki:?_?……

Naruto looked at the starry sky for a long time in silence.

……

"You're really not coming back?"

"Well, no reply."

"What's so good about the Akatsuki organization? Can it make you so devoted to it?!"

When Chiyo saw that she couldn't persuade Scorpion, she couldn't help but feel angry and even her voice became much louder.

"Because only in Akatsuki can I better explore the art of eternity."

Scorpion glanced back at Naruto and answered without hesitation.

"You haven't given up yet?

Grandma has long warned you that being a human puppet is an evil path with no return... You'd better give up as soon as possible..."

Chiyo felt extremely sad when she saw her grandson who looked to be only in his twenties.

With her eyesight, how could she not see that Scorpion had transformed himself into a puppet?

Scorpion is obviously the most talented puppeteer in the Sand Village.

But it is because she, as a grandmother, did not educate him well that...

Chiyo regretted not being able to spend more time with Scorpion.

If I could stay with him for a little longer, maybe the current Fourth Kazekage would not be Rasa, but Sasori...

“No, human puppets and the like are a thing of the past.

What I am pursuing now is a higher level of eternal art.

Its beauty, its grandeur... Grandma, you will never understand."

Scorpion's words interrupted Chiyo's wild thoughts and made her break out in a cold sweat.

Thinking about it, my eldest grandson dared to play with human puppets before, and now he actually said that he had found something more advanced...

What is more advanced than a human puppet?

Human experiments?!

Chiyo: (o Д o*)...

[My dear grandson is getting more and more evil... No! We must bring him back to the right path!]

Chiyo made up her mind and looked at Scorpion with determination.

"Since you are so confident in your so-called eternal art, why don't we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

“Grandma uses puppetry, you use your more advanced arts… but you can’t use human puppets, let’s fight it out between the two of us.

If you win, grandma will detoxify Edward Newgate and let you take Gaara away safely;

If they lose, Grandma will still detoxify Edward Newgate and let them leave, but you and Gaara must stay... and you must promise Grandma to serve as the fifth Kazekage of the Sand Village."

Naruto: (((o(*?▽?*)o)))? !!

It's different for him to have a powerful grandmother~

How could he become the Kazekage even after losing?!

Scorpion looked at everyone in the Akatsuki organization: →_→...What do you think, everyone?

Everyone in Akatsuki organization: ╮(￣▽￣)╭ ...Hurry up and agree to it. If you don’t agree to such good conditions, there must be something wrong with your brain!

"Okay, I accept the bet, grandma."

"Very good~"

Chiyo was overjoyed and immediately arranged for the ninjas of the Sand Village to retreat to make room for the two of them to fight.

……

"Grandma, you are the elder, I will let you go first."

"Okay, dear grandson, then grandma won't be polite... White Secret Technique* Near Matsu Ten People!"

In order to help his misguided grandson return to the right path, Chiyo immediately used his best skills.

On the other hand, Scorpion has only been given the "Gundam Structure and Manufacturing Technology" by Naruto for a short time, so it is naturally impossible for him to manufacture any Gundam machine.

Just as the Akatsuki organization was thinking about how Scorpion should deal with Chiyo's attack next,

Naruto suddenly heard a voice that shouldn't be here...

"Red Scorpion Armor, combine!"

【Armor fusion! 】

The Scorpion version of Flame Dragon Warrior from the Red Sand is now officially released!

Naruto: (???)? !! WTF? !!

I asked you to build a Gundam, and you asked me to wear the Armor Hero's soul. What the hell?!

"System, does 'Gundam Structure and Manufacturing Technology' also include the manufacturing of the Armor Hero series armor?!"

[No... I can only say that you, host, have indeed found a truly talented owner for that book... (???) ...]

"I haven't found a replacement for many of the materials used to make the Gundam, so I can only make this armor as a second choice...

Grandma, please help me realize the power of this armor!"

The armored Scorpion bravely attacked his grandmother...
