N-A-A Chapter 98 Unexpected Guest
Chapter 98 Unexpected Guest
Chapter 98 Unexpected Guest
At this very moment, deep in the mountains and forests of the western Land of Fire, Sasori, having just created his new puppet, is also setting off, gazing towards the Land of Rain.
"Perhaps, I can go there?"
He muttered to himself, somewhat bewildered.
At this moment, Scorpion has not yet completely transformed himself into a puppet, so his biological mind is still frequently filled with a lot of complicated and chaotic thoughts and emotions, which greatly troubles him.
"I thought of the past again, all those boring memories. The brain, made up of cells and tissues, is really inconvenient."
It seems the process of transforming the entire body into a puppet needs to be accelerated!
The scorpion murmured to itself.
Scorpion is undoubtedly a genius, but also a madman with a strong tendency toward self-destruction.
More than a year ago, when he went to ambush the Third Kazekage, he was actually driven by a strong urge to self-destruct.
That day, the two dolls he had made in imitation of his deceased parents broke, and his long-suppressed emotions erupted in that instant, almost overwhelming him.
Then, on the same day, he overheard ninjas outside his window discussing the Third Kazekage.
One person praised the three generations of Kazekage as the strongest Kazekage in the village's history.
But another person immediately complained that such a powerful Kazekage had ultimately chosen to seek peace with Konoha in the last war.
Just a few casual words of conversation drove Scorpion, whose mental state was already on the verge of collapse, completely insane.
Those two ninjas chatting idly would never have imagined that their casual remarks would lead to the death of their village's strongest Kazekage in history.
This is the highlight of life...
That night, the impulsive Scorpion attacked Kazekage with the intention of self-destruction.
Unfortunately, fate favored him, yet it also seemed to abandon him.
Afterwards, for the first time in his life, he hated his own talent so much.
It just goes to show the lyrics: "The one I want to love is out of reach, the one I want to die hasn't died."
His talent proved its worth in crucial moments.
His sneak attack was successful!
The Third Kazekage, hailed as the strongest in history, died just like that.
Afterwards, Scorpion fled the village and wandered aimlessly along the border.
He couldn't find his direction or where to go.
His betrayal of the village stemmed from a momentary impulse and emotional breakdown; he arrogantly blamed the loss of the war on Fengying for the wrongful death of his parents.
But deep down, he still felt a deep attachment to the village.
In the original story, when he was about to seize the One-Tailed Shukaku, he chose to stay at the village entrance alone at the last moment, allowing only Deidara to enter the village to capture Gaara.
Later, he held back several times in his battles with Chiyo and Sakura, which shows his affection for Sunagakure.
A moment of impulsiveness left him homeless, and Scorpion had felt regret in his heart.
Although he blamed all of this on the outdated emotional response mechanisms of the biological human brain.
After the Third Shinobi World War broke out, he continued to roam near the battlefield.
He knew it was risky, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.
They would even deliberately bring out their most prized creation when killing Konoha ninjas: a human puppet made from the corpse of the Third Kazekage!
(Sasori and the Third Kazekage's puppet)
Like a gambler with a strong self-destructive tendency, he bets everything without hesitation every time he sits down at the table!
But his talent never let him down.
He is too strong.
He is so powerful that so far no Konoha ninja who has seen him has been able to pass on the information back alive.
So even a year later, the Konoha ninjas on the front lines were still completely unaware of his existence.
After setting off that day, Sasori soon encountered a group of Konoha ninja patrolling the battlefield.
Without hesitation, he released the puppet of the Third Kazekage, burying them all in a few moments.
But afterwards, instead of being happy, he kicked the puppet hard.
"Useless! This bunch of weaklings actually forced you to kneel down and beg for peace while you were alive?! You coward!"
"This is the strongest Kazekage of all time? Trash! Useless! Why wasn't it you who died in the war?!"
After venting his anger, Scorpion covered his face and burst into wild laughter.
When he was completely exhausted, he felt an endless emptiness.
"I really need to speed up the process of turning my whole body into a puppet; I'm getting more and more useless emotions into my head lately."
The human brain is such a burden.
He believed that once he completed the puppet-like transformation of his physical body, he would be able to discard these useless emotions and regain stable and normal emotions.
He then quickened his pace toward the Land of Rain, while still mocking the puppets around him.
Even though that puppet had long since lost consciousness.
"Even a small country like the Land of Rain dares to declare war on Konoha, while you, the strongest Kazekage of all time, only know how to admit defeat and grovel before Konoha. You piece of trash!"
At this moment, Scorpion was far less emotionally stable than in the original story.
He knew he was sick.
But the only cure he could think of was to abandon his existing brain.
Therefore, there is a reason why he seemed emotionally stable in the original work, but was actually able to get along well with a group of psychopaths in the Akatsuki organization.
He was the most senior lunatic among them.
Just like in the original story, he has now taken the initiative to seek out the Akatsuki organization at this juncture of its rebirth.
Influenced by the butterfly effect of Shiba Kiyokawa, he set off even earlier.
Little did he know that the Land of Rain would become far more lively than he had anticipated.
A day later, to Shiba Kiyokawa's surprise, Terai compromised very quickly.
Just as Shiba Kiyokawa was worried that the kid might be up to something again, the other party's anxious pleading voice came.
"Godfather, please, save my sister! She's in danger! Please save her, I'll do anything!"
Shiba Kiyokawa then realized that Yakushi Nonou was already on her way, but with several pursuers behind her.
"Who's hunting her down?" Shiba Kiyokawa immediately asked.
"I don't know. Our summoned beasts can't transmit such complex information. It doesn't recognize those people."
But she must be very strong; my sister can't possibly fight her. She's in grave danger. Please, please save her!
At that moment, Terai abandoned everything and knelt before Shiba Kiyokawa, pleading desperately.
Such feelings moved Shiba Kiyokazu slightly.
After careful consideration, he decided to take a risk.
He instructed Kakuzu, who was following behind him, "Plant the Earth Grudge within him. If he shows any abnormalities, take his heart immediately. You should be able to do that, right?"
Kakuzu nodded silently.
Only after receiving an affirmative answer did Shiba Kiyokawa remove all the restrictions in the dungeon.
"Let's go."
Terai was still somewhat stunned. "Where to?"
"I'm taking you out. Didn't you say you were going to rescue your sister?"
Terai tentatively took a step out of the cell and found that he was no longer subject to any restrictions, which made him believe it was true.
His greatest hope was simply that the Akatsuki organization would accept Yakushi Nonou.
But I never expected the surprise to come so suddenly.
"Godfather, this way! The news about the summoned beasts came from this direction!"
This time, his address of "godfather" was genuinely heartfelt, without the slightest hint of reluctance.
However, they later encountered an unexpected guest on the road.
