Chapter 51 [051] So what's the price?

Chapter 51 【051】So, what’s the price?

"Sambo sucks and collapses!"

Several puppets surrounded him at the same time, and the violent sound of wind filled his ears.

Scorpion dodged quickly with his feet and escaped from the encirclement. The broken ribs and arms did not affect his movements at all. He moved quickly with his feet and threw out several kunai in his hand.

Crows and black ants surrounded him, and a series of kunai and shurikens flew out.

There was still no expression on that face as delicate as a doll.

Only the eyes are cold.

"boom--"

The ground beneath his feet exploded into pieces, and his hands reached out from the ground and pulled him towards his ankles.

The caught Scorpion's expression was stunned at first, and then his whole body was torn into two pieces by the bull-headed white-robed puppet.

"puff!"

The next second, the torn body suddenly turned into two puppet fragments, scattered all over the ground.

The real scorpion had used the cover of smoke to disappear into the dust a few seconds ago.

He looked coldly at Chiyo, who was in the center of the battlefield with red eyes.

Too familiar.

Faced with his grandmother who raised him since he was a child, Xia has to face rigorous puppet making and manipulation training since he was three years old. All basic and advanced operations were passed down by Chiyo.

Never reserve.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the person in the world who knows the most about Chiyo's puppet tactics.

However, due to the limited time of Chiyo who was working as a consultant to the Ninja Village, this grandmother only had these most contacts with him.

As for ordinary life and study, they are completely ignored.

It seems that from the beginning, he was not her grandson, but the most exquisite puppet, which required constant training and control in order to be skillful in manipulation and make him strong enough.

Xia lowered his head indifferently, quickly simulating Chiyo's next attack plan in his mind.

'Aerial harassment.'

A series of kunai were shot from above the head, and large pieces were nailed to the stone slabs on the ground, but Scorpion dodged them one step ahead.

'Surprise from behind.'

Scorpion once again bent over and rolled forward, quickly dodging the two puppet blades that swept from behind.

'Large range fire escape.'

Five white-robed puppets surrounded him at the same time, opening their large iron mouths and spitting out raging flames.

However, Scorpion did not break out towards the only way to survive, but instead used Earth Escape to burrow into the ground.

"Qianglang——"

He just barely dodged the two blades that stabbed him.

These are all puppet fighting techniques that his grandmother once taught him.

Everything is so familiar.

"but."

"This is also the cause of your downfall."

Xie's face, which had no expression at all, suddenly flashed a cold and stern look.

The fingertips of his right hand suddenly moved.

"Crash-"

Three puppets suddenly emerged from the ground around Chiyo, who was completely blank.

The crows and black ants next to him are actually just shadow clones of the puppet!

"Go to hell!"

The scorpion's fingertips dug again, and several venom-coated blades instantly stabbed towards the center.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

However, the next second, the pupils in his eyes suddenly tightened.

The same five white-robed puppets emerged from the ground, and now they were blocking her tightly at a speed much faster than him.

"Ha! Damn you kid."

Chiyo also raised his palm, looked at the puppet next to him, and said in a cold tone: "Do you think I won't take any precautions when facing a strong physical master?"

"When facing different enemies, you must flexibly adjust your tactics."

"This is the puppet master!"

When Xie heard this, his eyes widened in shock.

Grandma Chiyo, actually also saved a hand?!

Next to him, Aida Masaki smiled and reminded softly: "I told you, right?"

"Chiyo-sama thinks you are me."

Scorpion's face suddenly stiffened.

Just as he was thinking about moving to the side, his feet were suddenly tripped by a steel wire deliberately placed there. He rolled sideways and his running speed suddenly dropped.

Immediately afterwards, several white-robed puppets were seen reluctantly surrounding him.

Scorpion's expression was highly tense, and the sense of danger transmitted by his nerves even caused a slight phantom pain in his brain.

After discovering that her familiar tactics were ineffective, Chiyo flexibly adjusted a targeted puppet tactic just as she said.

As a result, Scorpio suddenly found that the pressure he was experiencing increased sharply.

'Grandma Chiyo, are you so strong?!'

Scorpion, who believed that he had begun to innovate in puppet tactics and draw inferences from one example, knew that Chiyo's puppet control level should be higher than his, but before facing a real life-and-death battle, he never knew that Chiyo's grandma was training for battle.

How much water was given to him?

At this point, it seems that the gap between the two of them is simply worlds of difference.

Aida Masaki had anticipated this situation.

Combining puppetry and poison techniques, Chiyo is undoubtedly the master of puppetry in Sunagakure Village, and is firmly at the elite Jonin level.

Scorpion's talent is very outstanding, but in terms of understanding of puppets and tactics, he is still far behind Chiyo.

That's the experience gap.

"hateful!"

After realizing this, Scorpion's face, which had always been as cold as a doll's, finally showed a hint of urgency.

Out of two people, only one can survive.

If you are killed by grandma, you will really die.

"Changlanglang——"

Just when he was distracted, a huge-mouthed puppet suddenly appeared behind him and suddenly bit his shoulder.

"Varied?!"

Without enough time to panic, Scorpion immediately gave up on the crow that was still blocking him in front of him, and immediately summoned a puppet whose memory was somewhat blurry from the scroll.

"clang--"

The blade collided with the wooden structure, making a dull sound.

The venom corroded the fragile wood.

It wasn't until this moment that Scorpion finally discovered what the strange puppet he had summoned was.

In the center of the wooden puppet with a simple structure, there is a crooked word "Father" painted on it.

Scorpion's movements stopped for a second.

"Puff puff puff!"

The next moment, three blades pierced his body almost simultaneously.

Scorpion's body froze at the same time.

Death, coldness, venom erosion, deep fear

All these emotions strongly impacted his brain, making his face, which had become unstable due to the blockage of his heart, reveal an uncontrollable expression of fear.

Chiyo held a kunai in his hand and said coldly:

"Go to hell, kid."

Those cold words were like a steel spine, accompanied by a low heartbeat, piercing deeply into his mind.

Driven by fear, Scorpion's expression gradually became distorted, and finally he opened his mouth with difficulty:

".grandmother."

"call."

The kunai was frozen just an inch away from his forehead.

At the same time, Scorpion, who was deeply in fear, had subconsciously picked at his fingertips.

"Chi chi chi——"

After a brief period of confusion, Chiyo's dull expression was finally reflected in Scorpion's crystal irises.

At the same time, her body was pierced by black ants, crows, and Fei Liuhu at the same time.

"."

"scorpion?"

As if he had just woken up, Chiyo struggled to say his name with confusion in his eyes.

"puff!"

There was hardly any hesitation.

Scorpion stretched out the kunai in his hand and stabbed it deeply into Chiyo's chest.

"Feel sorry."

He lowered his head, and Chiyo couldn't see the expression on his face, but could only hear a low, mosquito-like voice.

"thump."

Chiyo finally fell to the ground, his blood slowly flowing, and he made no sound.

After a long silence, Xie finally stood up from the ground, lowered his head, walked heavily to Aida Masaki, and almost gritted his teeth and said:

"I, I won."

"Please let me become. Become your subordinate."

"grown ups."

Aida Masaki tilted his head with interest and asked with a chuckle: "I'm very happy that you want to be my subordinate."

"but."

"When did I say, 'Whoever wins gets to live'?"

Xie raised his head suddenly, and for the first time, his cold, doll-like face showed an extremely clear expression of shock.

"laugh--"

However, the moment he raised his head, a light as dazzling as the sun lit up in his eyes.

A pain in the neck and blood gushing out.

Scorpion's body suddenly lost all strength, its body temperature gradually evaporated, and it fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

As his brain activity gradually slowed down, the ceiling of the underground space was reflected in his pupils.

The hole leading to the sky seemed to be attracting his soul.

'It turns out that I am a person who is very afraid of pain.'

Scorpio realized this for the first time.

"It's so boring."

Hearing such a dull voice in his ears, Aida Masaki seemed to put away his knife, slowly left here, and chased his companions.

Until the footsteps gradually fade away and can no longer be heard.

In this empty underground space, there were only corpses left on the ground.

The body becomes cold and the hands and feet become stiff.

Breathing stops completely.

Intense pain arises from inside the body, which is the feeling of organ failure, and a feeling of suffocation.

Although he had killed many people, Scorpion never knew that death was such a long and painful process.

He could clearly feel the warm liquid slowly flowing from the corners of his eyes. He didn't know what it was, but it was familiar yet unfamiliar.

'If I had known this was the case, why would I kill grandma to please that person?'

He thought so in his heart.

While he was thinking this, his limbs, which had begun to become cold and stiff, suddenly felt a slight dampness.

That's the sticky feeling of blood.

Scorpio could no longer move, and only his brain was still spinning slowly.

However, his irises slowly reflected an old body struggling to get up.

'Are you hating me? Grandma Chiyo.'

He thought so in his heart.

At this moment, he felt that even if grandma stabbed his body twice, it would not be a big deal.

The so-called "seeking for survival" turns out to be such an empty thing.

However, Chiyo's hands slowly placed on his chest and abdomen, sporadic chakra light flashed, and his voice was low and hoarse:

"Sorry, Scorpion."

His eyes were slightly dazed, as if he hadn't thought about it.

The feeling of liquid flowing in the corners of my eyes became clearer.

Chiyo was at the end of his strength. He struggled to sit up and continued to pump out chakra. His voice was hoarse like a candle in the wind.

"I neither protected my son and daughter-in-law, nor my grandson."

"I'm really a failed woman."

"But at least I can save you."

Scorpion's eyelids seemed to move slightly for a moment.

As he spoke, Chiyo's wrinkled face slowly showed a smile of relief, and An Ran said: "This technique was originally developed by me to resurrect your parents."

"But... alas."

"You must live, Scorpion."

Accompanied by the old man's slow words, her body seemed to be gradually burning.

A familiar chakra, accompanied by the vigorous vitality caused by the return of light, slowly entered his body, and Scorpion could deeply feel the almost burning warmth.

Reincarnation.

A technique that burns all of one's own chakra to replenish the soul of the deceased.

Xie looked at this scene in a daze, his pupils dilated, and the tear duct collapse in the corner of his eyes was like a flood, surging, uncontrollably flowing to his cheeks, moistening the ground.

For the first time, he truly felt the weight of life.

The body is changing from cold to burning, the heart starts to beat again, and the nerves feedback the tingling and healing feeling from the wound again and again.

At the same time, there is also a facial expression that is constantly twitching because of the pain in his heart.

At this moment, Scorpion's face, as delicate as a doll, finally revealed completely human emotions.

That is the deepest sadness.

people,

Only in the midst of truly great terror,

Only then can we truly understand ourselves and others.

"Chi-Chiyo grandma."

When he hugged the old man again, the body in his arms had become cold.

Naturally, even the body with its soul burned out could not hear his voice while it was still remaining.

The expression on Scorpion's delicate face was so painful that it was almost distorted, and tears were streaming down his face.

The whole person was like a wailing cub, letting out a heart-rending howl, which was the hatred and pain licking the soul like a flame:

"Aida Masaki——!!!"

The shrill sound resounded throughout the underground space.

Then, he heard a gentle and warm answer as he expected:

"Um."

"I am here."

Scorpion's trembling voice stopped for an instant.

His whole body was plunged into an endless coldness.

Aida Masaki walked out of the shadows behind him. He never left and stood here all the time.

Seeing Xie's expression of pain and tears, he squatted down as if he couldn't bear it, stretched out his hand gently, and slowly wiped away the criss-crossed tears on his face.

The scorpion remained motionless and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

He just held the old man in his arms tightly and refused to let go.

Aida Masaki is always so gentle and considerate, with a very soft voice:

"scorpion."

“Now, you are the one who has ‘nothing left’.”

"Now, can you still say that you don't care about anything?"

Xie was kneeling on the ground, holding Chiyo's body, looking at the man in front of him with dull eyes, tears still flowing uncontrollably.

Like it's been played badly.

Feeling the cold body temperature in his arms, he suddenly grabbed Aida Masaki's trouser legs tightly and said hurriedly:

"Wait a minute!"

"These are all illusions, right?"

"You can bring Grandma Chiyo back to life, right?"
