Chapter 469：

"If I don't have enough time, you can continue."

Xie fell silent, and the grandfather and grandson did not speak, leaving only the yellow sand blowing across the sky.

After a long time, Xie slowly spoke: "I will never go back...Grandma Chiyo."

Chiyo was disheartened when she heard the first half of the sentence, and when she heard the name Scorpion.

There was a burst of sourness and warmth in my heart.

Chiyo has waited too long. She is already 70 years old and has only a few years to live.

He actually heard it.

Scorpion controlled Yura's body, with no expression on his face.

After all, this is a corpse, not a puppet made by him. He is not sophisticated enough to control his expression.

"Sunagakure has nothing. It is too poor. I can only be confined to prison. My return to Sunagakure will not have any effect."

"How did the Fourth Hokage resurrect? I'm going to investigate."

"You can retire in Sunagakure Village, grandma."

After speaking for the first time, Scorpio spoke more smoothly the second time, but his words were still stiff.

When Chiyo heard Xia say this, he also knew Xia’s plan.

Indeed, Scorpion had assassinated the Third Kazekage back then. Even if he returned to the village, he would still be imprisoned.

Now that Xia has left Sand Hidden Village, it is indeed better than him staying in the village.

Although we can't let Xion go back, we can at least give him the motivation to live.

"fair enough."

Chiyo felt a lot better.

Xia looked at Chiyo for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Chiyo suddenly said: "You can't get out with Yura's body."

Xia turned around and caught the scroll thrown by Chiyo.

There was a scorpion pattern drawn on the scroll.

Xie held the scroll and sounded a little happy:

"How did you bring him along?"

As he spoke, Xie untied the scroll.

With a bang, what appeared was indeed the puppet transformed from his own body.

The puppet's body is clean, and it can be seen that it has been well maintained.

Many places have been repaired, but there are still holes in the chest.

The scorpion came out of Yura's body and flew directly to fill his own body.

He had been locked in a box, and the days when he couldn't control the puppet made him feel particularly bad.

Now he has put himself back into his own body.

Chiyo could clearly feel that Scorpio was in a very happy mood.

With a kind face, she watched Xie Xie experience her body.

I thought to myself, this is fine. That's fine.

Chiyo finally took out a scroll, stepped forward and put it into Xie's hand.

"There are puppet tools in here, many of which are hard to buy outside. I use them all."

"It also contains Ebizo's contact information. If you have any information, remember to send it back."

Xie Xie didn't speak for a while, and an emotion he was unfamiliar with arose in his heart. It was what he hoped for, but it was also unfamiliar.

Scorpio doesn't know how to respond to this emotion.

She could only find something to say: "Grandma, is it okay for you to go back like this?"

Chiyo smiled kindly, and Xia took the initiative to tell her this, which made her very happy.

Chidai have matured into masters, even if they have nothing to do now in Sunagakure.

Still no one touched her.

Besides, the decision this time was made by Feng Ying, and the people left behind were also decided by Feng Ying.

Now Rasa has lost many people in Konoha.

In other words, Gaara, the Jinchuuriki, is fine, and Sunagakure still has to rely on the Kazekage for financial subsidies.

Otherwise, the position of Kazekage would have to be changed.

Even so, Luo Sha is back this time.

It is estimated that it will take a lot of mining to fill the pensions of those jounin.

There was a smile from the heart on Chiyo's face, her wish for these years.

Don’t you just want to see your little grandson’s face again:

"Don't worry, Yura left in a hurry and didn't cause much damage in Sunagakure Village."

"There are no extra people in the village to hunt you down. As an old woman like me, it is normal for me to have low physical strength."

Most of Chiyo's knots in her heart were gone, and her tone became much lighter.

Scorpio is very unaccustomed to this kind of atmosphere, and his behavioral habits want him to leave as soon as possible.

His emotions told him not to leave.

Scorpio hesitated for a moment.

Chiyo urged him instead:

"You should leave quickly. The reconnaissance force will be chasing after you soon to check the situation."

Xie Xie paused: "I understand."

"Then I'm leaving...Grandma."

After Scorpion finished speaking, he tugged on Yura's body and pulled off his cloak.

He moved his fingers again and pulled over the bamboo hat next to him.

Cover him tightly, these two things are indispensable in the desert.

Even if he is a puppet, it is the same.

After Scorpion walked a long way, he looked back and found that Chiyo was still standing there watching him go away.

Scorpion turned his head and headed towards the Country of Fire without looking back.

Chiyo looked back when she saw Xia disappearing from her sight.

Chiyo used the scroll of his own reincarnation to tear a hole in Scorpion's mind.

Using the excuse of resurrecting his son and daughter-in-law, Lai gave Scorpion a reason to live.

Just like before, in order to take care of Xie's emotions, she concealed the news that her son and daughter-in-law were killed in the battle, and suffered the pain alone.

But everything Chiyo said today is true, and it is also true that he wants Scorpio to live.

These days of company, she warmed not only Xie's heart, but also herself.

At her age, she doesn’t know whether Sunagakure Village can prosper.

After all, Sunagakure has been like this for so many years.

Now it is not possible for Sunagakure Tsutomu to work hard, and the structure of the ninja world will not change drastically.

It is almost certain that Sunagakure will fall out of the five great ninja villages.

It’s just a matter of time.

Except for the Kingdom of Water, the other three major countries are fully capable of defeating the Kingdom of Wind.

But the benefits are not proportional to the effort, and no one wants this place.

Her previous thoughts of opening up territory for Sunagakure have long since disappeared.

If Sunagakure can live a better life, then that's fine. If not, that's a matter for the younger generation.

Now her son and daughter-in-law are gone.

If the grandson also loses hope of having a baby, then her hope of having a baby is also gone.

Sunagakure just let Luo Sha do the hard work. She can't see the future anyway.

…

Chapter 523 If there is a next time

Konoha Village.

Orochimaru Laboratory.

After listening to Yakushi Kabuto's words, Kimimaro felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"No! How is this possible! Orochimaru-sama, you must have a way to save Natsuki-sama, right?"

Kimimaro fell down twice before he reached Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru, please save Lord Natsuki."

Kimimaro was filled with various emotions such as panic, despair, self-blame, etc.

But not yet waiting for Orochimaru to continue playing.

Xia Mu's side changed for a while, and then appeared intact beside the bed.

As soon as Natsuki opened his eyes, he saw Kimimaro begging Orochimaru to save him.

In an instant, I understood what was going on.

When did Orochimaru have such a bad taste?

Natsuki took two steps and put a hand on Kimimaro's head:

"Fool, I'm an Uchiha, how could I die?"

When Kimimaro heard a familiar voice, his cold and aloof face was filled with tears, and he started to cry while hugging Natsuki.

"Lord Natsuki..."

"I…"

"I don't deserve you to save me like this..."

Natsuki looked at Kimimaro, who had transformed into an adult, and rubbed his head with his hands.

"I'm sure, it doesn't matter."

Natsuki stroked Kimimaro's head and said to Orochimaru:

"Orochimaru, I really didn't know you had such a bad taste."

Orochimaru had a playful smile on his face:

"Look at how much you care about him and see if he is worth it. It's a pity that you woke up."

Xia Mu snorted: "If there is a next time..."

Orochimaru thought Natsuki was going to say something, but it turned out that the second half of Natsuki's sentence was.

"Next time, remember to throw my body into the Uchiha. Maybe it will stimulate two people who open their eyes."

Orochimaru twitched the corner of his mouth, this Natsuki...

He turned around and handed the nutrient solution bottle next to Xia Mu.

What was soaked inside was Xia Mu's right eye.

"Come on, Kabuto, change my eyes." Xia Mu waved to the pharmacist Kabuto.
