Chapter 287 Gaara

  In Sand Hidden Village, the ninja Orochimaru is most familiar with is the Red Sand Scorpion.

  The two have different pursuits, but they do have something in common, especially after Xie made himself a puppet to achieve an alternative immortality.

Abandoning the physical body and only keeping the Chakra soul body, in addition to the improvement of skills, this method has given up its own growth, not to mention that it cannot solve the problem of wear and tear of the spirit body. It cannot be regarded as real eternal life, but even so, it is still a good way. learn from.

  So for a while, Orochimaru collected a lot of information about the Red Sand Scorpion.

  Xie's parents were killed by Shuo Mao when he was young, and he was raised by grandma Chiyo, but the time they spent together was not long.

  Mother-in-law Chiyo hadn’t retired back then, and she and her younger brother Ebizo were Kazekage advisors, and their status was equivalent to the fusion of the three of Koharu, Mitomonyan, and Danzo.

  With so much power in hand, there are naturally many corresponding responsibilities, so naturally I don't have much time to play with my grandson.

  Even later, after Xie showed off his aptitude for puppetry, the time they spent together turned into teaching.

  So for a long time, Scorpio grew up alone.

  It is not that there are no children of his age in Yinsha Village, but Xie is a genius, a genius in puppetry, not to mention that he also learned from Granny Chiyo, the first puppeteer in Yinsha Village.

   Making friends requires compromise and accommodating, but young geniuses can't bear to be wronged the most, and Orochimaru understands this feeling too well.

  But unlike him, Sand Hidden Village doesn’t have the pace to catch up with Tsunade and Jiraiya, who are at the same level. Therefore, Scorpion not only has no family, but also no friends.

   But that's all. What's interesting is that after the scorpion became full-fledged and possessed the strength to rebel against Sand Hidden Village, he also killed the third generation of Kazekage.

   This incident directly led to the third ninja battle, but it meant more than that to Scorpion.

  Before meeting the Genie and learning more advanced gameplay, Orochimaru also planned to betray the village.

   But this does not mean that he has any grievances with the village and the people there, it is purely because there are too many constraints.

  The pursuit of immortality requires constant use of ninjas for in vivo experiments. If there are too many experiments, it is impossible to hide the old man and his Anbu.

   This is the same for Xie. The study of human puppets is also a taboo in Sha Yin Village.

  Both of them have reasons to rebel against the village, but if Orochimaru chooses to rebel against the village, he will only choose an appropriate way to bid farewell to the old man and Jiraiya, and there will never be a life-and-death confrontation.

  Scorpion chose to kill the third Kazekage, betraying the village in such a decisive way, definitely not just for freedom.

  Just to pursue the body of a powerful ninja, there is no need to choose the third Kazekage.

   Obviously, he has hatred for the village, this is a catharsis and revenge.

  The source of this hatred is worth pondering.

  After understanding this, Orochimaru understood a little bit why Scorpion was obsessed with puppetry and transformed himself into a puppet.

  The so-called "eternal art" is just a by-product, becoming a puppet, more because a puppet is a cold machine, without a heart, and without pain.

  Scorpion has a strong self-esteem, he doesn't even admit that he has weak emotions, so he has to become a puppet to abandon it.

   From the perspective of Orochimaru, this is ridiculous.

  In his pursuit of eternal life, he will also face many difficult choices, and even give up some treasures that he once cherished. However, if he chooses to deny his emotions in order to avoid this pain, it is putting the cart before the horse.

  Oshemaru believes that this is very weak.

  From this point of view, even after becoming an S-rank rebel, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion is still the same as before, sitting alone in the big toy of Feiliuhu, no different from a child.

   After understanding the scorpion of red sand, Orochimaru looked at the one-tailed Jinchuriki of Sand Hidden Village, and the sense of déjà vu in his eyes was too strong.

   This was clearly created by Hidden Sand Village, another monster with strength in his hands but a weak mind.

   Such children are very easy to use, they don't care about the difference between sand and leaves.

  Looking at the wind and sand in front of him, Orochimaru asked Hyuga Ninja in the team, "How far is it to Sand Hidden Village?"

  The Hinata ninja observed for a while and replied, "According to the landmarks, there are still about five or six kilometers left."

   "Heh...then it won't be long before we meet the sand ninja patrol."

  Oshemaru licked his lips, "I hope they don't blame us for coming uninvited."

   This time I came to visit my allies, Konoha did not say hello in advance. Preventing intelligence exposure is only one aspect, and it is more of a demonstration.

   This kind of thing can only be done by Orochimaru, other people, even Jiraiya, may not be strong enough.

  …

  Sha Yin Village, on the roof of Fengying Building.

  Fourth Kazekage Rasa looked down at the village, his face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

  Granny Chiyo, who had retired for a long time, suddenly appeared on the rooftop, staring at Luo Sha, "Are you really determined to do this?"

  Tonight, the Fourth Kazekage will conduct a test on Ichio Jinchuriki, in order to test my mind and see if he can still control Shukaku when his emotions fluctuate violently.

   This was not a whim, but premeditated, and it was a helpless choice after Izuzuru repeatedly rioted in the village, causing a lot of personnel and financial losses.

   But what surprised and even scared Grandma Chiyo was that Luo Sha planned to ask my uncle Yasha Maru to assassinate him.

  This is the younger brother of Luo Sha's wife, and the person I have the closest relationship with now. It's not surprising that he is the spiritual pillar. Both of them know what will happen if Yashamaru dies on Gaara.

   Either I will become a cold-blooded ninja weapon after I come to Luo, or he will die when he welcomes.

   "When Karura was pregnant, Elder Chidai forced this to happen."

  Luo Sha gave Granny Chiyo a cold look, "I could have predicted what happened today, why... the elder is still soft-hearted when it comes to this?"

  His mood was not as calm as that cold face, but Gaara's fate was set from the very beginning, if he could not become a weapon to protect the village, the end would be death.

  Whether as Kazekage or as a father, Luo Sha naturally wants Gaara to live, even as a weapon.

  But up to now, Chiyo who contributed to this incident, is here to say some meaningless nonsense and hypocrisy, which is really hateful.

   "Yes... it's my old lady who talks too much."

  Grandma Chiyo said this, but she sighed in her heart.

  The sand hidden poison master who once poisoned thousands of people was just a sentimental old man in his old age.

   Just like Gaara, she was a little unreasonable back then.

  On the roof of the Kazekage Building, the atmosphere suddenly became depressing. Regarding Gaara, the two of them had nothing to talk about.

  At this time, after a burst of wind, the captain of the Shayin Patrol Team appeared in a flash, with a flustered expression.

   "Master Kazekage, Konoha sent two envoys to discuss important matters with you."

   "Konoha, messenger?"

  Luo Sha recalled the recent situation, thinking that Konoha had not contacted in advance recently, and did not take such important matters seriously.

  He waved his hands absently, "Let them go to the post house to stay first, and we will talk about it later."

   "Yes, but..."

  The patrol captain looked sad, "But there is that Orochimaru among Konoha Messenger."

   "Oshemaru, how could he come too?"

  Luo Sha suddenly raised his head, his brows were tightly furrowed, and fear shone in his eyes.

  Ninjas of this level can cause so much damage that they come without warning and can even be regarded as a declaration of war.

  At this time, there was a loud noise in the village, and a gust of wind raged around a certain point.

"not good!"

  Luo Sha's heart skipped a beat, and only then did he remember what he was doing tonight.

   Gaara's rampage, and Orochimaru's sudden visit, the two things rushed together, and he even wondered if there were Konoha's spies in the village.

   Luo Sha immediately ordered, "Elder Chiyo, you are responsible for stopping Orochimaru, and I will suppress Gaara."

   "Okay!" Grandma Chiyo knew that toxins and puppets were not effective against tailed beasts, and could only be used to deal with ninjas.

   Luo Sha took a deep breath, and ordered Captain Sa Yin beside him, "Let Anbu, who is deployed around Gaara, support Elder Chiyo."

"yes!"

  …

  Sandstorms swirled all over the sky, like rolling black clouds, rolling out in all directions.

   And in the center of Howling Kuangsha, stood a red-haired boy, his eye circles were dark, as if he had applied a layer of deep eye shadow.

  The sand under his body seemed to have life. Wherever he went, there was the center of the quicksand, constantly eroding the surrounding uninhabited settlements.

   "Die, die to me!"

  With roars that did not belong to humans, the sand stretched out like tentacles, and the hard walls were smashed to pieces like tofu, as if they had suffered a violent sandstorm.

What was unexpected and natural was that above Gaara's head, the center of the sandstorm was exceptionally quiet. A sandy tentacle pierced through a ninja's body, as if to punish betrayal, and did not simply give him a blow. To end it, to torture him to death in the most painful way.

  Blood soaked the sandy tentacles, leaving behind dark red marks.

   "Heh... this is a celebration, but luckily I didn't miss it."

  On the periphery of the sandstorm, Orochimaru looked at Gaara in the center with interest in his eyes.

   Before a ninja power grows to a sufficient level, any ninja village must take care of it layer by layer, and ninjas from other villages will never have a chance to see it.

  So after arriving at Sand Hidden Village, Orochimaru asked the lamp **** to check for him to determine the status of the target.

   But even so, he really didn't expect to see one of the target objects of this trip in this form.

  Shisui looked around and reminded at the right time, "Master Orochimaru, the sand ninjas are here."

  After they met with the sand hidden patrol team, they did not follow the normal mission process, but came here directly under the leadership of Orochimaru.

  Strictly speaking, this is already a hard break.

  But neither the sand hidden Anbe who was here before nor the patrolling ninja who followed them here had no idea of ​​attacking first.

   A group of Jinchurikis in front of them are running amok, and whether to increase the number of enemies is beyond their decision range.

   "No problem."

  Oshemaru smiled indifferently, as if he heard something, his eyes fell on the ninja above Gaara's head, and he said,

   "Shisui, save that ninja."

  Zhishui was stunned for a moment, without any hesitation, his figure turned into a shadow, and rushed towards Gaara.

  In the half-tailed beast state, Gaara's perception is so keen that he almost instantly sensed Shisui's approach, and let out inhuman roars, intending to eliminate the threat in front of him.

   Boom boom boom!

  The yellow sand surged up, like a whip and a gun, and shot towards Zhishui.

  However, no matter how fast the sand is, it always slows down. It only hits the afterimage left behind by Zhishui, and it can't stop him from approaching at extreme speed.

   "Damn! Damn! Damn!"

   Gaara had only a sliver of sanity left, gathered all the sand he could control, condensed into a huge sand wave, and slapped towards Zhishui overwhelmingly.

   Shisui's eyes froze, but instead of retreating, he rushed straight at Gaara, with a red light shining in his eyes.

  Boom!

  The huge waves were monstrous, impartial, and right in the middle of the red heart, there was a burst of dust and smoke.

"this…"

  Fourth Kazekage Rasa and Grandma Chiyo rushed here, happened to see this scene, looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

   Messenger Konoha didn't stay in the place where Sand Yin entertained, but moved towards dangerous places. Now that he died, he felt that he deserved it.

  But the truth is this, but it’s not the same, especially when the ‘Konoha Sannin’ Orochimaru was still present.

   "Your Excellency Kazekage, don't worry."

   Seemingly aware of their thoughts, Orochimaru smiled at the two of them.

  And in the battlefield, a dark green sword light flashed across, clearing away the dust and mist, cutting off the tentacles on Gaara's head who was a little weak.

  The next moment, the big dark green hand brought the seriously injured ninja into Susano.

   "Ahh! Give it back to me!"

   Gaara let out a roar, and the sky filled with yellow sand poured in again.

   But at this time, Shisui had already retreated with Yashamaru, and the dark green Susanoo was like a shield, blocking the attack of the yellow sand again.

   "Good job."

  Oshemaru took Yashamaru's body from Shimizu's hand, simply sealed the wound on his body, ignored Luo Sha's troubled face, and began to treat him on his own.

   "Ah! Give him back!"

  At this time, I Lailo, who ran away, didn't let up his hatred for the betrayer, and rushed over directly with yellow sand all over the sky.

  Fourth Kazekage Rasa saw this, and stopped paying attention to Orochimaru's treatment, and went up to meet him, "Magnetic Escape · Placer Gold Burial!"

  The violent sandstorm was stopped by the finer dust gold, and even pushed back.

  The two people's control of power is not at the same level at all. They also control the magnetic escape, and Luo Sha is much more exquisite than Gaara, who is only using brute force at best.

  In the past, the two stalemate for a while, and Gaara regained consciousness, but Gaara suffered too much mental shock tonight, and Yashamaru was not completely resolved, and the hatred in his mind continued to swell.

  After exceeding a certain limit, he fell into a coma directly. As a result, the 'sleeping technique' was automatically triggered.

   "Hahaha, my uncle is out again."
