Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Because Kirigakure had very little contact with Sunagakure, Kaguya Rei searched all over Kirigakure's inventory, but could not find a puppet that could temporarily parasitize the red sand scorpion's regeneration core, so he had to send people to the water. From the underground black market around the country, he purchased a few ordinary puppets of poor workmanship as emergency supplies. When he roughly shoved the regenerated core into a humanoid puppet that had all its mechanisms removed, an amazing change occurred. .

The flesh and blood tissue protruding out around the regeneration core quickly took root in the puppet's body and merged with the puppet at an alarming speed. As the regeneration core obtained the carrier, a large amount of chakra surged from the regeneration core equivalent to the heart. When he came out, the puppet's originally simple head quickly transformed into the appearance of the Red Sand Scorpion, short red hair appeared, and the puppet master with cold eyes opened his eyes again.

"Tsk tsk, what an incredible skill..." Even with Kaguya Rei's extensive knowledge, the scene of the red sand scorpion completing its resurrection still made him couldn't help but gently applaud, "The separation of flesh and blood You can still survive and produce chakra after you have lost your body, and you can complete the rebirth of consciousness and appearance even with the help of a puppet that you did not create..."

"Even if the main body is a little weaker and the weakness of the regeneration core is too obvious, this technology is enough to save your life, Red Sand Scorpion."

"You seem to be a little more knowledgeable than Fei and Zetsu, the Fourth Mizukage."

The Crimson Sand Scorpion did not express any dissatisfaction with the garbage puppet that he was temporarily parasitizing. After all, he was a prisoner in the hands of others and was not qualified to be too arrogant in front of the winner. He simply looked around and moved himself stiffly. With his head inexhaustible, he stuttered and said:

"No wonder A Fei and Jue, who obviously have such power, still only dare to secretly recruit those who are dissatisfied and hateful to you... The power they have accumulated for so long is probably in vain. You are vulnerable in front of one person."

"Sure enough, it's those remnants of the 'Gen' who are doing things secretly..." Kaguya Rei nodded without any surprise, and while curious why Uchiha Obito didn't secretly use Uchiha Madara's name this time, he continued. Asked: "However, from what you said, it seems that your relationship with Gen's people is not that good?"

"A brat who is extreme and doesn't understand art, who is mysterious and has no self-esteem, why is there any need to get closer?"

The Red Sand Scorpion unabashedly expressed his disdain for Obito and Zetsu who acted in the name of "Root" successors, "If it weren't for them, they would occasionally share some interesting information with me, and we might We won't meet like this until you start to unify the ninja world."

Kaguya couldn't help but feel happy.

"You can also perceive the outside world inside that regeneration core?"

"The person you were talking to just now was Konoha's Orochimaru?" The Red Sand Scorpion finally gave up the idea of ​​calibrating this inferior puppet in every aspect, and turned to look directly at Kaguya Rei, " If so, your ambition is really amazing."

"I'm not the only one who has the ambition to conquer the ninja world. Aren't Kumogakure's Raikage and the dead Shimura Danzo both ambitious people who want to conquer the world?" Kaguya Rei was dissatisfied with the words of the Red Sand Scorpion. I don’t think so, “I just thought a little more than they did, and planned to lay a good foundation for governance while conquering.”

"So you took a fancy to Orochimaru's skills and asked him to help you study biology, Blood Successor?" The Red Sand Scorpion sighed expressionlessly, "Then, where did you take a fancy to me, so why? That conversation at the end of the previous session?”

"Your human puppet technology, to be precise, is your regenerative nuclear technology that stuffs all your chakra into a ball of flesh and blood, allowing it to continue producing chakra without nutrient supply."

Kaguya Rei folded her hands and sat opposite the Red Sand Scorpion, who looked slightly surprised, and asked very curiously:

"I don't have any idea about your technique of transforming living people into puppets and then retaining their original abilities, but I'm really curious about how you can make a mass of flesh and blood tissue that shouldn't be viable continue to create something that belongs to you. You use your chakra to control the puppet... Even among the weird ninjutsu I have seen, your regenerative core technology is one of the best in terms of difficulty and weirdness."

"...What are you going to do with this technology?"

The Scorpion of Red Sand is a bit unable to understand Kaguya Rei's thinking. Why, as a shadow of a village, is he not interested in human puppet technology that retains the ability of the blood successor ninja, but is so interested in regenerative nuclear technology? Got an erection? Even if regenerative nuclear technology is the core of human puppet technology, Kaguya doesn't think that Kaguya Rei will use this technology for puppet production.

"Before answering this question, I would like to ask you a question."

Kaguya Rei took out a scroll with a map around the Kingdom of Wind and unfolded it in front of Xie, then pointed to the name of a country on it that has now disappeared, and asked in a deep voice:

"Have your Shayin Village, or you personally, ever investigated the Loulan Kingdom before its destruction?"

"Lou Lan?"

The Red Sand Scorpion frowned slightly, "Why do you suddenly ask about this small country that has disappeared and has nothing to do with you Kirigakure?"

"Because I heard that they once built a magnificent city that is unparalleled in the ninja world. The towers reach the sky and the light is shining. It is a unique country of miracles in the world. And the magnificence and prosperity of this country seem to have something to do with puppetry. A special connection.”

"I don't know if it has anything to do with puppetry, but..." The Red Sand Scorpion hesitated for a moment and answered uncertainly: "According to the information sent back by the intelligence personnel in the village, Loulan Kingdom is turning into a place. Before the ruins, there was indeed an unparalleled and beautiful city.”

"Not only was it turned into a ruin, it was turned into a ruin overnight. Moreover, the time that Loulan built this miraculous city that topped the ninja world was only less than ten years. Outside of this period of time, Loulan is just a small country that can be seen everywhere, with neither specialties nor fame."

Kaguya paused for a moment and looked at the Red Sand Scorpion who was deep in thought, "Aren't you curious how Loulan Kingdom built a tall building in such a short period of time, and how it collapsed overnight?" , will there be no chance of turning around from now on?"

"...What does that have to do with me?" The Scarlet Sand Scorpion came back from Kaguya Lian's rhythm and looked at him with a frown, "Loulan has long been a lost country, even if there is still The remnants exist, and it is impossible for them to restore the collapsed city of Loulan with their own strength..."

"But the foundation for them to build the magnificent Loulan City is still there."

Kaguya Rei looked into the eyes of the Red Sand Scorpion and said word by word:

"It is a special power called dragon vein. It is inexhaustible and can be compared with tailed beasts... If Loulan's prosperity is really based on puppetry, then as Sand As the most talented puppet master, you should be able to do better, right?"

"So what if I rebuild Loulan?" The Red Sand Scorpion still doesn't quite understand Kaguya Rei's thoughts, "It's just an enclave far away in the Kingdom of Wind, so far away from you Kirigakure. How are you going to maintain your rule over that place?"

"We'll discuss this after we confirm the truth about Loulan and Dragon Vein."

"Before that, tell me another thing..."

"What's up?"

"Where are the investigation teams sent by Konoha?"
