Chiyo's mother-in-law accidentally discovered Scorpion's secret.

After that, as if she had never said anything, Grandma Chiyo was still dealing with complicated affairs and doing her best to cultivate future generations that could be cultivated by the puppet army.

As for Xie, he has already demonstrated his powerful talent in puppetry and has already begun making puppets for use in battles.

In a secret basement in Sunagakure Village, this is the warehouse where the experimental and failed puppets of the Sunagakure Puppet Force were stored.

The originally messy warehouse became tidy after becoming Scorpio's workplace.

In a dark basement, even though it is daytime, lights are needed to illuminate a small area.

Under the light, row after row of puppets stood like guards guarding Scorpio who was busy in front of the desk lamp.

Scorpio is so small that the low stool can still allow his legs to hang in the air.

But what was extremely inconsistent with his age was that with flying fingers, he seemed to be able to easily find the right parts among the messy parts on the table in front of him, and then put them together skillfully.

Puppet masters seem to have the same characteristics as scientists. In a messy laboratory, they can always produce the most simple and efficient inventions.

Dong Dong Dong Dong.

There was a dull sound of footsteps that was very inconsistent with the quiet environment.

"Xiao, are you okay?" A kid in green clothes, about the same size as Xiao, happily ran towards Xiao, "It's a little bug here!"

Scorpion was still working, his back motionless, only his nimble fingers beating rapidly like playing a piano.

"Grandma Chiyo said that the puppet you made last time was also well received." The kid who called himself Xiao Chong walked behind and came to convey the news.

But Scorpion ignored him.

"Hey," Xiaochong put his arms behind his neck and looked at the busy Scorpion with envy, "This is the third good review in a week."

Xiaochong walked from one row of puppets to another with his hands behind his back, as if inspecting his soldiers. These powerful-looking puppets were all made of scorpions.

"I also want to become a respected ninja, just like your puppet Scorpion."

Xie was so involved that he completely focused on making the puppet. Except for his arms, his body did not move at all.

He was more like talking to himself, Xiaochong became a little angry, "Hey, did you hear that?"

He walked to Scorpion's side, stood on tiptoe, very close to Scorpion's ear, and said loudly, "Hey, it's me, the bug is here."

Scorpio still didn't respond. It's really worrying. This guy is like a puppet and tireless.

"Hey!" Xiao Chong stretched out his hand, "Did you hear that?" Xiao Chong shook Scorpion's shoulder vigorously.

Click.

Disturbed by a bug, a broken spring of a part flew out.

Xie's body finally moved. As if instinctively, he quickly turned sideways and stretched out his hands, steadily using the collapse spring.

Then, as if nothing happened, it returned to motionless.

Didn't this make him notice her? Xiaochong felt that it was rude to disturb Scorpion, who was working so seriously.

"Uh... Xie, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry!" Xiaochong waved his hands repeatedly and apologized to Xie in a hurry.

"But, in your eyes, am I worse than a puppet?" Xiao Chong regarded Scorpion as his best friend, but Scorpion... Xiao Chong had some doubts about his friendship with Scorpion, he asked.

Sure enough, Xiao Chong's slightly sad question received no answer, and Scorpion remained as quiet as a puppet, without saying anything.

Xiaochong was extremely frustrated. He turned around, half-tilted his chin, and put his hands on his hips like an adult, "Forget it, it's useless to dwell on your attitude."

"Grandma Chiyo asked me to bring you a message. The puppets you commissioned must be delivered as soon as possible..."

"Crow, black ant, mountain pepper fish." Xie's voice was childish and cold, and he suddenly stretched out his finger to the darkness beside him, "Everything was completed according to the authorization letter." While his left hand was giving to Xiao Chong, his right hand still did not stop.

The making of puppets.

Xiao Chong looked where the scorpion's finger pointed, and he saw black ants. The terrifying appearance of the black ants in the shadow frightened him, and then he returned to normal.

"Wow, is this a new work?" Xiao Chong walked into the darkness and curiously observed the puppet black ant hanging in the air. "It moves so fast."

"I don't like to keep others waiting." Rarely, Scorpio spoke again.

"Really?" Looking at Scorpion, Xiaochong scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled, "That's right."

At this time, the puppet that Xie was making was finally completed. It was a puppet prosthesis.

To complete the final debugging work, Scorpio lightly held the puppet prosthesis with his left hand, and chakra puppet lines as smooth as water flowed out from the fingertips of the five fingers of his right hand.

After the puppet prosthesis was connected to the chakra line, a magical scene happened.

Under Scorpion's control, with two clicks, the flat index finger and ring finger of the prosthetic limb bent like real joints.

Click click click.

It rang a few more times, and this time it was the thumb, middle finger and little finger that were bent.

In the clear clicking sound, all the fingers sometimes bent, sometimes stretched, and sometimes clenched, moving faster and faster, becoming dizzy.

Xiao Chong stretched out his palm to imitate the puppet, but he couldn't keep up with the puppet's movements. "It's so delicate, it's just like a real person's fingers!"

While Xiaochong clumsily imitated the movements of the puppet's prosthetic limb, he looked at Scorpion with admiration. Xiaochong had always dreamed of becoming a great ninja, and he longed to be as powerful as Scorpion.

"Oh," Xiaochong suddenly stopped bending and stretching his fingers, raised his head and thought for a moment, "I almost forgot, Granny Chiyo asked me to ask, what should I do with the poison used in the newly made crows?"

A folded list was handed to Xiao Chong in due time.

"Uh," he thought it would take some time to prepare. Xiaochong was shocked. He took the list from Xie and took a rough look at it. "They are all precious medicinal materials."

"Do you want to use these to prepare it?" Xiao Chong asked Scorpion again for his opinion.

Xie looked at Xiao Chong and just nodded slightly.

"But this requires a permit." Xiaochong frowned and touched his chin awkwardly.

"Okay!" He was finally able to help his friend. After hesitating for less than a second, Xiaochong returned with some excitement. As for trouble, it has never been a problem.

Xiao Chong excitedly shook his fist at Xie Xie, "Let me, Mr. Xiao Chong, ask for you. Please wait a moment..."

"I hate waiting."

"I think so, let's go together!" With that said, Xiaochong jumped backwards and left, waving for Scorpion to follow quickly.

…

The Suna ninja responsible for monitoring and protecting Uehara naturally had to report it to Chiyo and the Third Kazekage after collecting enough information.

"Chiyo-sama, I have information to report to you about the Iwamura ninja."

"Did the Iwa Ninja kid go to Puppet Class C?" Chiyo asked, "What are he and Puppet Class C doing? Are they not causing trouble?"

The girl who was treated to a barbecue by Uehara smiled and said, "Iwagakure's ninja, he is teaching puppetry to the students in the puppet class."

Is there really a ninja who has mastered the puppet technique in Iwagakure Village? Chiyo was surprised.

"Even more important, I accidentally collected detailed information about Konoha White Fang."

"The Iwagakure ninja seems to have mastered a lot of ninjutsu information about Konoha White Fang."

Chiyo, whose face was expressionless, visibly trembled in his wrist.

Just at this time.

Bump.

There was a knock on the door of Granny Chiyo's room.

Granny Chiyo, who was checking the ninjutsu scroll, stood up and said, "It's a small insect."

"Have you brought my words to..."

Chiyo stopped talking and saw Scorpion, who was leaning sideways against the insect.

This child hasn't been out and about for a long time. Chiyo was a little surprised when Scorpio unexpectedly visited.

"Grandma Chiyo, I have a request."

The folded paper leaf handed over by Xiaochong interrupted Chiyo's thoughts.

"What is it?" Chiyo took the paper leaf.

"It's useless if you don't know the mixing ratio." There was only the name of the medicine but no required quantity. Chiyo could see the problem at a glance.

Chiyo looked at Xia again, and she remembered the scene where Xia and her parents' puppets embraced each other.

"Since you brought it up, there should be no problem. I will say hello to the medical department."

"I still want to continue my research, please step aside." (To be continued)
