Long Live The Hokage

There was silence in Scorpion's temporary residence.

After a long time, Xie said lightly, Boring.

Masahiko turned his head to look at Chiyo who was waiting for his explanation, and gave her a 'relieved' look.

This is the third time Scorpion has said 'boring', and it is different from the previous two times. Masahiko smiled and said: This time, because of what you said in Chiyo, he remembered the days when he was young in Sand Ninja Village. There is a heartbeat. But I feel that it is impossible to restore my flesh and blood. This is just empty talk, so I use boredom to cover up my disappointment.

Chiyo was refreshed when he heard the words, and repeated loudly: Xie, come back with me, I will find a way!

Tch, boring! Scorpion also increased his volume, but his answer remained the same.

The corner of Masahiko's mouth twitched, Scorpio, wouldn't you say something else?

Chiyo looked at him again, and Masahiko felt a headache and frowned: This is the fourth time he said 'boring', and it is still different from the previous three times...

Masahiko thought for a long time, stared at the scorpion, and said, There is no specific meaning this time, just to let me not know how to explain it!

As soon as the words fell, Xie's puppet body trembled violently, and the 'magic skill of pretending to be a puppet' failed.

Huh? You got it right? I really am an old man who has insight into people's hearts. Masahiko beamed with joy and said to himself.

Chiyo paused for a moment, looked at Scorpion sadly, and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Masahiko.

At this time, Chiyo, you should start complaining. What you say is nothing more than: young people lose their husbands, middle-aged people lose their sons and younger brothers, and when they grow old, they only hope to have a grandson like Xie by their side.

Then Scorpion will be even more moved, and say 'boring' again so that he will not be disturbed by family affection.

Then Chiyo will continue to show affection and reason. She will help you recall the time when you were a child, and even show the father and mother puppets to impress you.

Then Scorpion will still say 'boring', this time to himself who made father and mother puppets when he was a child, but the real thought in Scorpion's heart is not like this, but 'I really want to go back to that innocent time back then Ah, it's a pity I can't go back'.

Again and then Chiyokai...

...

After half an hour.

Chiyo said this,

Xie's puppet body could no longer hide his fistful heart, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes: mother-in-law! I will go back with you! Masahiko's tone is full of emotion.

After talking about the narration for so long, Masahiko felt a little thirsty and licked his lips. He wanted to ask for a glass of water, but he noticed that Chiyo and Scorpion looked at him expressionlessly.

Masahiko scratched his head: Shouldn't you two...shouldn't hug each other at this time, cry bitterly, and then return to Sand Ninja Village together? Oh, want to thank me? No, no, just give me a glass of water.

Chiyo looked at Masahiko helplessly, then turned his head and said, Xie, come back with me.

Chiyo, why are you here again? Masahiko frowned.

Boring. Scorpion responded lightly.

Huh? Masahiko's mind was a little confused. Isn't this episode over?

...

A narration is meaningless if it is ignored by the interlocutor.

The vortex narration just became the vortex spectator, or the vortex spectator.

In front of Masahiko, an annual family drama was staged in full swing. Chiyo, an old drama with sincere feelings, vs. a cold and ruthless little fresh fleshy scorpion. In the end... Chiyo was completely defeated, because Masahiko had said everything she could say before.

But Chiyo did not give up, and once again turned to the audience for help, and the actor Uzumaki participated in the performance in friendship.

Scorpion, before I persuade you, can you show me Kaka Kaka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ma, who already understood that he was getting carried away and wanted to break the embarrassing atmosphere first.

scorpion:……

Hold back, you must hold back, I can't afford a thousand copies!

In fact, thousand copies are not expensive, and the value of 50 thousand copies is only equivalent to one kunai, only a thousand taels. But even so, the value of the thousands of books that Xie shot at Masahiko these days is close to a million, not to mention the precious poison he quenched on it.

Over the years, Xie has been wandering outside alone, and has often killed some Langren, or done some things like robbing houses and houses. But the puppet master is an expensive technical job. It costs money to prepare poison, and it also costs money to make puppets. Fortunately, he made himself a puppet and saved money for meals, but his savings have not been much.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have accepted such a dangerous mission in the Land of Rain, even if he was tempted by Hanzo's corpse.

Thinking of this, Xie suddenly remembered the remuneration after the successful alliance, and raised his head to interrupt Masahiko's respectful persuasion: Grandma Chiyo, don't waste your time here, you should go to Tukage to discuss the alliance.

Alliance? Chiyo was taken aback.

She heard that Xie appeared in Yanren Village, so she rushed over immediately. As for the reason and purpose of the scorpion appearing here, she still doesn't know.

Masahiko smiled at the side, and continued to persuade: Xie, look how much your mother-in-law cares about you...

What alliance? Chiyo interrupted.

Masahiko paused, and persuaded again: See, she didn't even know the reason why you appeared in Iwanin Village, so she rushed over...

The alliance between the Land of Rain and Sand Ninja Village. Scorpion interrupted.

Masahiko paused again, and then said: That's right, Yahiko, the leader of the Kingdom of Rain, wanted to...

The Land of Rain wants to form an alliance with Sand Ninja Village? Chiyo interrupted with a frown.

Masahiko:? ? ?

Didn't you say it's okay for me to persuade Scorpio? Why don't you let me talk again?

Masahiko felt aggrieved, and quietly watched Chiyo and Scorpion explain the reason and method of the alliance clearly, and then the room fell into silence again.

After a long time, Chiyo broke the silence: Xie, since you can make peace for the Land of Rain, why don't you go back to the village?

It's just a high-paying task that I took in my spare time. Xie said with a blank expression on his face.

Chiyo let out a long sigh and shook his head: The new leader of the Land of Rain has a good idea, but he is a little naive. But... I can't make decisions on behalf of Sand Ninja Village on such a big matter, I can only give my own opinion .”

Scorpion said lightly: No hurry.

Masahiko grabbed his red hair, looked at the two people who had calmed down again, raised his eyebrows and said, The talk is finally over? Then Kaka Kaka, it's time to transform!

Xie got up silently: Grandma, you can go and discuss with Tuying.

Chiyo nodded and glanced at Masahiko: Senior, we're going to find Onogi.

Watching the two go away, Masahiko shook his head and laughed, and chased after him loudly: Xie, you see how much your mother-in-law loves you, and she is reluctant to let you show me, go back!

The body of the scorpion's puppet got stuck, probably... it's time to apply lubricating oil.
