Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Thinking of this group of people being tortured into confessing, and how he had made great contributions during this turbulent time, been promoted all the way, received countless money, and then had beautiful women as his wife, the corners of the smile on this senior ninja's face could no longer be suppressed.

"..."

Are you a little crazy?

Ebizo became angry when he saw his smug look on his face, and thought that after investigating the matter thoroughly, he would send this guy to the front line.

This kind of person is a nuisance in the rear!

"I'll go there myself."

He stood up and said, "Don't follow me, if he is really the murderer who caused the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, acting rashly like this will only cause him to cause a bigger commotion in the city."

"The consequences of this are serious."

"Master Ebizo, your opinion is great!"

The jonin quickly flattered him.

"So how can we cooperate?"

"Don't mess with me, that's the best cooperation."

"Hi!"

On the other side, everyone who had originally had some doubts about Scorpion was now a little stunned.

Every passerby, regardless of gender, age, rich or poor, seemed to be attracted by something. They drew various arcs to come to Scorpion's stall, and then each picked up something and left.

In just 10 minutes, the goods on the stall were reduced by more than half!

“Is he so good at selling goods?”

Yahiko exclaimed: "But, he didn't say anything?"

"It's simply weird!"

"..."

Toru Ito was speechless, but he did see some clues.

Those who came to buy things had Scorpion's chakra threads wrapped around their bodies.

Because it is very thin and cleverly controlled, most people don't notice it.

Under the control of the chakra lines, they came to the stall involuntarily, and then fell into Scorpion's illusion. They bought things and left in a daze.

Is this how you use ninjutsu?

Toru Ito took another sip of his iced drink and suppressed the complaints in his heart.

You are worthy of it, Scorpio!

Even though the method used is strange...but he can't escape the title of gold medal sales!

Such talents cannot be left alone outside.

He has to be dragged into Akatsuki and sent to the Land of Rain to fight Hanzo!

Kimimaro also noticed the same thing, but he looked at Ito Toru's expression and didn't say much.

Sensing the surprised looks of the people over there, even Scorpio, who considered himself mature, couldn't help but feel a little proud at this moment.

hum...

Are you confused, country bumpkin?

This is the power of puppetry!

You will never understand what's going on in your lifetime!

However, the smile under the scorpion mask soon came to an abrupt end.

Because several ninjas came here together.

"..."

Although Scorpion was anxious to ship the goods, he also knew the seriousness of the matter.

If you attack these ninjas, they will definitely be able to sense the existence of the chakra lines, and then your identity will be exposed!

So he did nothing and just stayed there quietly, waiting for these ninjas to pass by.

However, these ninjas came over here.

"Hey! Look, there's actually a stall here?"

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

"Then let's see what's interesting."

They squatted down and picked and chose from the stalls, making the neatly arranged goods into a mess.

Scorpion's anger +1.

“These are the leftovers that were picked out by others.”

One of the ninjas clapped his hands and stood up.

"Hey kid, where are your parents?"

"I'll be watching over the stall here, just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Okay, you said so. Let uncle tell you that you can't set up a stall here." A Sand Ninja put his hands on his hips and said seriously:

"According to the rules, we have to confiscate all your goods, but since you are still young, you can just pay a fine. Here, 1000 taels, give it to me."

He opened his palm towards Scorpion and said, "After you pay the fine, go somewhere else on your own initiative and don't let us see you again."

?

A question mark slowly appeared on the scorpion's head, and then it turned red and warm.

"Do you think this is my first time in the Hidden Sand Village?"

"I've never heard of such a rule!"

"Ahahahaha, of course there weren't these rules before, but there are now."

The Sand Ninjas laughed loudly, then surrounded Scorpion without leaving a trace.

"Boy, you are still too young. The water here is very deep. You can't control yourself!"

"The adult world is so cruel, but if you can know the current situation, you can avoid a lot of trouble."

"Why waste your time talking to him? Pay me! Otherwise I'm going to use my ninjutsu!" A Sand Ninja raised his fist and said viciously.

"..."

Scorpion fell silent, anger rising in his chest.

"What are you doing here?"

Suddenly an old voice was heard.

The three people who were originally showing off their might were suddenly stunned.

Scorpion was also stunned, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated into nothingness.

"This, this sound is!"

The three of them turned around stiffly and saw Ebizo standing behind them.

"Lord Ebizō! You…"

They had completely lost their previous arrogance and were trembling with fear, just like chicks seeing an eagle coming.

"When did you come?"

"Since you said there were of course no such rules before."

Ebizo grinned and said, "It seems that our Sand Village is really full of talented people!"

"We know we were wrong! Lord Ebizo!"

"We'll get out of here right now! We won't dare to do this again next time. Just treat us like shit!"

"What nonsense! How could Lord Ebizo fart three times in a row? He must be taking us for granted..."

"enough!"

Ebizo stopped the three from saying anything more outrageous and waved his hand impatiently, "Get lost! Go to the frontline office tomorrow and go through the formalities to go to the battlefield!"

"It's a waste of talent to let you sit idle."

"what?"

The three Sand Ninjas regretted their actions and their faces turned bitter, but they did not dare to refute and could only leave with bitter faces.

After they were all gone, Ebizo slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Scorpion again.

"..."

Scorpion lowered his head in silence and quietly pulled his hood a little tighter.

He didn't say anything.

Even though he knew that the most normal response now would be to say thank you and give Ebizo a small gift to thank him for helping him solve this trouble.

However, Scorpion knew that he could never hide his identity in front of Ebizo.

Although this old man seems to have no sense of existence in normal times, as the younger brother of Chiyo, especially when he was young, Ebizo was in charge of intelligence and espionage work. How could he be really an unknown person?

"Hehe... they must have caused you trouble."

Ebizo squatted down with a smile and started picking out the goods on the stall.

"These are all rare goods. Is the one over there your companion?"

"That's it."

Scorpion answered sullenly.

"They are worried about you."

Ebizo glanced at Yahiko, Nagato, Kimimaro and Ito Toru who were slowly sitting back in their seats.

"We are just too young. Young people are sometimes not calm and easily impulsive."

"You were so calm just now, but if I hadn't come, how would you have planned to solve it?"

"..."

Scorpion didn't answer.

And Ebizo is like a truly kind and patient old man: "Sometimes, strength can't solve everything."

“But it can solve most of the problems.”

Scorpion looked up at him.

"…That's the same thing. No need to wear a mask. At least let me see your face before you leave."

"..."

After being silent, Scorpion took off his mask.

He still has some affection for this old man who has taken care of him for a long time.

“…You’ve lost weight.”

When Ebizo saw Scorpion's face, he subconsciously reached out his hand, then stopped and slowly retracted it.
