Chapter 159: Scorpion of the Red Sand, join Konoha!

Ōnoki's departure caused all the surrounding Sand Ninja leaders to fall silent.

Many militants who hold hatred towards Namikaze Mirai and want to avenge their comrades who died in the Third World War are now shrinking like turtles, fearing that they will be noticed by Namikaze Mirai.

Even someone as strong as Ohnoki suffered a great loss if he wasn't careful, let alone them.

If you accidentally provoke this ruthless man and get targeted by him, the outcome will be worse than death!
The previous Kazekage of the Sand Village, Rasa, suffered a huge defeat against Namikaze Mirai and was unable to accept it, so he suffered a mental breakdown and became a madman.

Even Chiyo, who wanted to eat Namikaze Mirai alive, had to give up the idea of ​​revenge after witnessing Namikaze Mirai shocking Ōnoki with her own eyes.

During the Third World War, the puppet troops she carefully cultivated were almost completely destroyed, all thanks to Namikaze Mirai.

As long as there is a chance for revenge, she will never let it go.

But reason told her that if she really did that, the consequences would be extremely tragic.

The huge Sand Village, one of the five major ninja villages, actually surrendered to the power of him alone.

Wrong!

So frustrating!

But what else can I do if I don’t feel aggrieved?
If you can't win, you have no choice but to surrender. This is the way for the ninja village to survive.

Taking in the changing expressions of the surrounding Sand Ninjas, Ye Cang, the Kazekage, groaned and tried to get the topic back on track.

"Hokage, let's continue our previous conversation. The Sand Village is willing to pay to buy rice from Konoha."

The Sand Village is short of food, arable land in the Wind Kingdom is scarce, and water resources are precious, let alone growing rice.

In the ninja world, only the Land of Fire is a major rice country and is known as the granary of the ninja world.

She was just about to talk about purchasing rice, but was interrupted by Ohnoki. Now that Ohnoki has left, she can talk about the matter again.

"Kazekage, the Sand Village is sitting on a huge treasure. If the Kazekage can dig out this treasure, Konoha can exchange it for enough food."

"Treasure? What treasure is there that Konoha doesn't have?"

Namikaze Mirai's words successfully piqued Ye Cang's interest.

Among the five major ninja villages, Konoha is the richest and has the most abundant resources.

The situation is completely the opposite for the Sand Village. It has a lack of desert resources, water and food, and is the poorest of the five major ninja villages.

Today, Konoha, the richest village, envies the poorest Sand Village.

This surprised Ye Cang. Could it be that the Sand Village really had some precious resources that even Ye Cang didn't know about?

"oil."

Namikaze Mirai groaned.

"oil?"

This strange and unfamiliar name made Ye Cang's expression freeze.

Oil? What is it?
Never heard of it.

"You can think of it as a kind of energy, a special energy used in many industries."

The technology tree of the ninja world is very crooked.

Many technological developments seem to bypass oil and turn to other directions.

But the importance of oil is self-evident. Oil, known as the "blood of industry", can play a significant role in many industries.

Namikaze Mirai just picked out an energy direction to make it easier for Ye Cang to understand.

It is unclear whether there is oil in the ninja world or not, Namikaze Mirai.

As a time traveler, he did not know whether oil was created during the development of the ninja world.

If it really exists, the most likely place for it to appear is the Kingdom of Wind.

Over 90% of the landforms of the Kingdom of Wind are deserts. If oil reserves are discovered underground, it will suddenly become the richest country in the ninja world, just like the Middle Eastern countries on Earth.

Then, Namikaze Mirai gave Ye Cang some knowledge points about petroleum.

For example, how to survey, how to dig, how to determine whether it is oil...

"Oil? I've got that in mind."

Ye Cang nodded seriously.

Although she didn't know the specific reason why Namikaze was looking for oil in the future, the fact that it could be exchanged for food was enough for her to pay attention to it.

She has decided to post a new task in the Sand Village task bar and mobilize the Sand Ninjas in the village to search for oil together.

"If you find the oil I mentioned, don't forget to tell me."

After giving a warning.

Namikaze Mirai stood up and prepared to leave.

"Fengying, this delay has taken long enough. See you next time."

Somehow, Ye Cang suddenly felt reluctant, as if Namikaze was about to leave, and he felt lost.

When the surrounding Sand Ninja leaders saw Namikaze Mirai preparing to leave, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if the stone pressing on their chest had fallen off.

This disaster star is finally ready to leave.

If Namikaze Mirai had left a little later, they might have been crushed by the heavy air.

Even without talking, just sitting there would make them feel a huge sense of oppression.

This is the oppression from Konoha’s number one man!

"Namikaze Mirai!!!"

Just when this group of Sand Ninjas thought that all this was over, an angry voice mixed with hatred suddenly rang out, shocking them all, and fear rose in their hearts.

This familiar voice is...

The Sand Ninja leaders looked towards the door at the same time, only to see a familiar figure blocking the entrance.

His cheeks were thin and sunken, his short red hair was messy and stuck to his forehead, his eyes were bloodshot with heavy dark circles, and he was staring at Namikaze Mirai with hatred.

"Luo Sha? Why are you here?!"

When he saw this old acquaintance, Ye Cang's pupils shrank slightly.

Damn!

How did this guy get out?

Where are the ninjas guarding him?

"Luo Sha! Don't be impulsive, the Third War is over!"

Chiyo suddenly stood up from her chair, cold sweat oozing from her forehead, and advised Luosha in a warning tone.

As Rasa's former assistant, Chiyo immediately guessed what Rasa was going to do.

During the Third World War, it was Namikaze Mirai who destroyed everything that Rasa had.

As a result, he, the Kazekage, fell from grace and became a laughing stock in the ninja world.

Unable to accept this, Luo Sha went insane and became a madman.

There was only one thought left in his mind.

revenge!

Revenge on Namikaze Mirai!
"go to hell!!!"

Amid the roar of the earth, endless gold sand surged out from the ground, like a sea of ​​gold sand, rising up in the shaking of the earth.

The surrounding buildings were submerged by the huge waves of gold sand and the houses collapsed, as if a tsunami had passed through.

"Father!"

When Gaara saw Luosha in this state, he felt sorry for him and wanted to rush over to stop him.

"Go away!"

What he got in return was a ruthless kick from Luo Sha.

The four-year-old Gaara was kicked away, his thin body drew a parabola, and was caught by Ye Cang, who was heartbroken.

"Luo Sha! Are you crazy? He is your own son!"

Looking at Luo Sha's bloodshot eyes and crazy look, Ye Cang's words got stuck in his throat.

Luo Sha is indeed crazy.

He went crazy after World War III.

The tens of meters high gold sand waves surged like a giant tsunami, and were captured brazenly!

A hint of ecstasy appeared in Luo Sha's scarlet eyes!
It seemed that he had already seen the scene of Namikaze Mirai dying under his gold sand and being smashed into pieces by the huge waves of gold sand.

next second!
The smile on his face froze.

The roar of the earth suddenly stopped, the world became quiet, everything seemed to have pressed the pause button, and the surging giant gold sand waves stopped in the air in a strange posture.

The falling sand and the momentum of the attack, everything is vivid and lifelike, like a fine art sculpture.

Chiyo's pupils were trembling slightly, and the eyes of the surrounding Sand Ninja leaders were also trembling.

This familiar scene reminded them of a scene on the battlefield of World War III many years ago.

At that time, the duel between Luo Sha and Namikaze Mirai was just like what was happening in front of us. Luo Sha tried his best to condense a huge wave of sand and gold that was dozens of meters high, but it stopped strangely when it was about to hit Namikaze Mirai.

His magnetic escape technique was as weak as a baby's in front of Namikaze Mirai's magnetic escape technique.

It was that battle that made Magnet Release Rasa the laughing stock of the ninja world!
This moment is just like that moment!
In the dead silence, Namikaze Mirai's calm voice rang out.

"Luo Sha, I haven't seen you for many years. You are even weaker now."

Namikaze Mirai's voice was not loud, and it did not contain much emotion, but this plain voice was like a sharp blade piercing into Luo Sha's heart.

He stepped back tremblingly, the painful memories buried deep in his mind flooding back, his brain aching as if it were being cut by a knife or burned by fire. He fell to his knees, covering his head and wailing in agony.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

Wow!

Amid his painful howls, the solidified gold sand waves around him collapsed and scattered like a golden rain.

Yekura was silent, Chiyo was also silent, and all the high-ranking Sand Ninja officials around were silent.

In the dead silence, only Luo Sha's wailing was so piercing.

The revenge attack that he had carefully prepared failed miserably again, just like the third battle. He tried his best and put everything on the line, but failed miserably.

Looking at Luo Sha in this state, a trace of pity emerged in Chiyo's turbid eyes. She knew that Luo Sha was useless.

Completely useless.

After failing again, he will never be able to face the shadow in his heart again. The name Namikaze Mirai will become a demon in his life that he will never be able to overcome, and it will accompany him for the rest of his life until his death.

"Fengying, I will leave first."

Saying goodbye once again, Namikaze Mirai takes off and leaves.

He didn't even move a finger during the entire process. Luo Sha's full-strength attack was like a breeze blowing on his face, posing no threat at all.

They are both magnetic ninjas, can the difference be this big?

Looking at Rasa who was almost hysterical and wailing in pain, these Sand Ninja leaders had these questions in their hearts.

A generation of Fengying came to an end.

……

Konoha.

Kakashi was unhappy.

Anyone who sees his pair of dead fish eyes would want to beat him up.

It’s because Namikaze Mirai is unable to complete the task he was given to repair the building.

Looking at the top floor of the building, there was still a large gap after he had done his best to repair it. Kakashi began to miss the days of enjoying [Intimate Paradise].

What a wonderful time it was, without having to deal with bricks and dust, and being able to breathe the fresh air.

"Kai, it's all your fault. If you hadn't insisted on competing, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Venting his anger on Kai who was carrying bricks upside down, Kakashi raised his dead fish eyes calmly.

"Kakashi! Think about it from another perspective. Repairing a building is a test of youthful passion!"

With his palms on the ground and a thick stack of bricks between his thighs, Kai ran in an upside-down position, even faster than a normal person.

Kakashi was speechless.

"Kai, if you were to switch to a normal position, we might be able to repair the building before Namikaze Mirai returns."

Before leaving, Namikaze Mirai gave them a time limit to fix the building before he returned.

Now a long time has passed, and Kakashi doesn't know whether Namikaze Mirai has returned.

He could only pray silently in his heart that the two Akatsuki members would be able to take the beating a little harder and buy them enough time.

After all, they are still a long way from complete repair.

Just as Kakashi was thinking this, a black spot appeared in the distant sky, shattering all his fantasies.

The black spot grew rapidly and gradually turned into a familiar blond figure.

"Kakashi, is the repair complete?"

"Not even close."

Kakashi's scalp tingled.

He could never muster the slightest desire to resist Minato's younger brother.

Namikaze Mirai is much more difficult to deal with than Minato Sensei.

“That’s also called a little.”

Namikaze Mirai looked around and found that the collapsed part of the building had hardly improved, and said with a smile.

"You returned too quickly. We didn't have enough time to complete the mission..."

Kakashi said stubbornly, silently cursing the two Akatsuki members in his mind.

If the other party wasn't so fragile and could have delayed a little more time, why would he have been scolded by Namikaze Mirai?

"Good job, I hope to see you finish before the sun sets."

After patting Kakashi on the shoulder, Namikaze Mirai gave him some encouragement and then left, leaving Kakashi alone and disheveled.

Looking at the sun that was about to set and the evening glow on the horizon, as well as the gap on the roof that seemed to have no end, Kakashi felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his heart.

Are you kidding me?

How is such a thing possible?

Unable to express his dissatisfaction in his heart, Kakashi responded weakly with his eyes rolled up.

"Understood……"

……

After returning to Konoha, Namikaze Mirai did not go back to the Hokage's room immediately, but went straight to the scientific research department.

He took out a sealing scroll from his arms. This scroll was the one that sealed the Scorpion's regeneration core during the battle when he supported the Sand Village.

At that time, he thought it would be useful to keep this thing, so he did not destroy it and sealed it in a scroll. Now that he is back in the village, he can study it.

boom!
As a white mist dissipated.

Scorpion puppet parts scattered on the ground, and a cylindrical regeneration core with the word "Scorpion" written on it lay quietly on the ground, with purple-blue veins bulging like an earthworm, giving it a weird and creepy feeling.

"Scorpion, I know you are not dead."

Namikaze Mirai made a sound while looking at the puppet parts scattered on the ground.

There was no movement.

As if they were dead objects, all the puppet parts and regeneration cores were still lying quietly on the ground.

“I don’t like repeating myself a second time.”

The puppet parts remain unchanged.

It really seems to be just a pile of dead things.

"Well, since you are really dead, Orochimaru should be interested in your body parts, so let Orochimaru study them!"

Almost at the moment this sentence came out, the pile of parts responded immediately!

"and many more!"

The cylindrical regeneration core drilled into the hole in the puppet's left chest like a loach, and the remaining parts seemed to have magnetism, splicing together one by one to form a complete body.

Scorpion of the Red Sand stared at Namikaze Mirai with angry eyes.

"If you dare to hand me over to that bastard Orochimaru, I will destroy the regeneration core immediately!"

As he said this, as if to show his resolve, a scimitar popped out from his scorpion arm and aimed at the core of his left chest.

He and Orochimaru have always been at odds!
Letting that dead snake study my body makes me sick just thinking about it!

Who knows what kind of nasty thing that stinky snake will take advantage of the opportunity to do to his body!

Can't! Absolutely not!
"So that thing is called a regeneration core."

The azure eyes rested on Scorpion's left pectoral core with interest.

It is not just a puppet, but stores part of its own tissues, chakra and consciousness in the regeneration core. As long as the core is not destroyed, it can replace its body infinitely.

A clever creation.

When it comes to puppets, I'm afraid no one in the ninja world can compare to him!
"Since you already know that I'm not dead, why don't you just kill me?"

Scorpion asked nervously.

The blade that popped out from the right arm was still aimed at the core.

It seems that only by threatening to commit suicide can I feel at ease.

The scene of Namikaze Mirai maneuvering his hundred machines in reverse was still replaying before his eyes.

There is also metal in this puppet body of his.

If Namikaze Mirai controls her body, she will do some strange things.

You might as well die now!

"Don't be so nervous."

Namikaze Mirai gave a faint smile.

"I brought you back to Konoha for a reason. If you agree, it will only benefit you."

"What's the plan?"

Scorpio became more nervous.

"I plan to recruit you to work for me."

???

Scorpion froze in place instantly.

Is Namikaze going to recruit him in the future?

He is a member of Akatsuki, an enemy of Konoha.

The leader of the organization has repeatedly stressed that Konoha is the biggest enemy of Akatsuki, and the Hokage of Konoha is the mortal enemy of Akatsuki!

All members of the organization must keep this in mind!
That's why Scorpion finds it hard to believe what Namikaze's thoughts on the future will be.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? I'm a member of Akatsuki."

"I don't care about your identity, whether you are a rebel ninja or an Akatsuki, I only care about your ability."

In response to Scorpion's questioning, Namikaze Mirai's answer was quite straightforward.

"Your generosity surprises me, but..." Scorpion sneered, "Why should I work for you?"

"That dead snake Orochimaru is also working for you, right? It makes me sick to have him as a colleague."

"Because I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse."

Namikaze Mirai smiled.

The voice carries an irresistible temptation.
