From the day I became a ninja, the battle became the essence, for the country, for the village, for the home, for the companions…

Along the way, my hands and even my whole body were soaked with blood that was so thick that I could never melt. There was nothing right or wrong, and there was no need to consider right or wrong. This is the task.

The word death, or this phenomenon, gradually became accustomed to it during the war and the process of carrying out tasks.

On the road paved with blood and corpses, I have seen countless faces with different expressions before my death. From the initial clarity to the blurred covered by new images, some have disappeared, and more have become blurred.

Even if all faces are blurred and disappear, when the things expressed by those expressions gather at the end, they are the common point left behind, that is, fear, fear of the imminent death and the imminent departure of this world.

Killing countless people... it should have ended up being killed.

As long as it is a ninja day, as long as it is still fighting for the village... the ending is just a matter of time.

So, I am about to usher in this moment, right? But I don’t feel afraid at all, not because I am used to the expressions of countless enemies before their deaths, but... I have long been enlightened, called the enlightenment of sacrifice.

Kakashi, it seems that it will be time for you to get married and have children... but fortunately, before we meet this moment, I should have fulfilled my responsibilities as a father? Right, Kakashi?

The many blurred faces were torn apart by the light, and a familiar figure of a woman appeared and disappeared in the light.

"It's time to come to find you. Before that, wait for me a little longer, and a while will be enough. When I exhaust my last bit of strength."

With a low growl, the tree roots and iron chains that were imprisoning their bodies were cut off, and all his last strength was used to cut off the last slash of the remaining light of life towards the scorpion!

In the distance, Ye Zi's pupils shrank sharply, and he didn't expect that Shuo Mao could still swing his knife in this situation.

"scorpion…"

At this moment, he could only watch this scene and could do nothing.

"It's obviously poisoned..."

Faced with this knife, Scorpion was not desperate, shocked Yu Shuomao was still able to move and was ready to escape.

The last sword fell on the scorpion, and the endless light suddenly bloomed, forming a light ball like a flower bud to cover the scorpion's body. At this moment, the wind and thunder surged, tearing the scorpion's body into countless pieces, but at the same time imprisoned it in the light ball.

The last sword was used, and the last trace of strength was exhausted.

Since the war started, Shuomo's cold expression gradually relaxed, and his eyelids slowly drooped like weak. At the last moment before welcoming the darkness, Kakashi held the short knife and turned around with an excited smile.

I'll stop there too... I'll leave the rest to you.

Bang!

The light ball formed by wind and thunder exploded in vain. The countless pieces of coins-sized in it exploded like fireworks, scattering around. At first glance, they looked like a group of butterflies flying.

The knife-holding arm drooped weakly, and then the bloody body slowly fell forward and sank into the flying fragments.

Konoha's strong man... Haki Sakuroshi, whose glorious life stopped here and fell down.

At this moment, a tree root quietly came, winding up from his feet, wrapping up his body, and at this moment, he did not fall to the ground just like this.

Ye Zi walked step by step, stretched out his palm, caught a piece of fragment flying in it, slowly held it in his hand, and then came to Shuomao's side.

At this time, all the flying fragments fell on the ground.

"Do you die together?"

Ye Zi turned his head to look at Shuo Mao, who had his eyes closed tightly, with a complicated expression. His fist slowly opened, revealing the fragments in his palm. Then he flipped over and let the fragments fall to the ground.

The last knife revealed the will from Haki Sakuromo.

For Konoha Village, I have achieved this level. Although my position is different, this awareness and hard work are the same. You... you are for the village, and I...

"I'm not dead yet." At this time, a voice came from the side.

Ye Zi's thoughts changed, and he looked slightly in shock in the direction where the sound came. A broken puppet slowly stood up.

This puppet lost one arm and one leg, but at least the entire torso is in its best condition than the puppets scattered all over the ground.

"If it weren't for its fast movement, it would have been dragged into hell by Baiya." Scorpion's fearful tone was undoubtedly revealed, controlling the broken puppet, jumping around with one foot, and coming to Ye Zi's side.

Ye Zi looked at the puppet in front of him, and his eyes swept past the circular core depicting the word "Scorpion", and suddenly realized.

Recognizing Ye Zi's gaze, Scorpion looked at Shuo Mao's body and sneered: "That's right, at the last moment, my core would be separated in time, otherwise it would be torn into pieces."

"It's good if you haven't died. Can you continue to fight?" Ye Zi said.

"No." Scorpion shook his head slightly, and with his current state and chakra, he had lost the ability to fight.

In other words, Shuomo, in the case of death, slashed away one of Akatsuki's powerful combat powers with the last slash, which was equivalent to reducing a lot of pressure to Konoha's companions.

After answering Ye Zi's question, Scorpion continued to stare at Shuo Mao and said lightly: "Although it is not a good thing to win, I won in the end."

On the side, Ye Zi looked at it silently, thinking of the scorpion's style. The final result of Shuo Mao's corpse was to be used by the scorpion to make a puppet.

Subconsciously, Ye Zi opposed the scorpion's approach, but when he thought that he would also use the filthy land to reincarnate Shuo Mao as one of the combat powers, he laughed at himself in his heart. What qualifications do he have to oppose the scorpion's approach?

"It's a pity that I'm dead... I can't create an adult puppet. The original purpose of paralyzing toxins is to keep the enemy's life. I didn't expect you to..." Since it was an ordinary puppet, I couldn't even make a normal expression, but at this time, the scorpion's mood was extremely complicated.

As an enemy who killed his father and mother, he actually respected Shuomao, which is a ridiculous manifestation... So, this is the difference between humans and puppets.

"Ye Zi, now I don't have any combat power, so I don't have the spare energy to support me." Scorpion avoided Shuo Mao's corpse and jumped towards the wreckage of the third generation of Fengying puppet with one foot. Forget the other puppets, the third generation of Fengying puppets were finally made. We must see if there is a possibility of repair.

After collecting the wreckage of the third generation of Fengying Puppet, he looked at Ye Zi and said, "Next, I want to find a safe place and recover my body first."

Now that this place is not far from the battle circle, he must first ensure his safety, and then personally create a human puppet as a hostage.

"Yes." Ye Zi nodded.

"I'll leave the rest to you." Scorpion said, then turned around and left.

Seeing this, Ye Zi was slightly stunned and asked in a strange tone: "Why, don't you want to use Baiya's corpse to make a puppet?"

Scorpion stopped with his back to Ye Zi and said coldly: "Through this battle, I understand that no matter how many puppets are, it is useless. Compared with quantity, quality is the key. Baiya is dead and does not have the conditions to make a puppet. Even if his body is made into a puppet, it is at best an ordinary puppet."

"Now, I don't need such a puppet."

After saying that, the scorpion went towards the distance. In this battle, the scene of Shuo Mao easily destroying many puppets was deeply engraved into his mind, and made him fully understand that the power of the puppet master is not to win by the number of puppets.

In the future, he will no longer create ordinary puppets. The puppets he wants to control can only be human puppets made by living people, and they will also be made with the strong!

Looking at the scorpion's departure back, Ye Zi's eyes showed a complicated meaning. Is it unnecessary? Or does it not matter? It doesn't matter. Next, I will immediately support others.

Ye Zi looked at the place where the wood clone was fighting, and suddenly his face changed slightly. In the distance, the thriving trees were growing at a crazy speed.

"The tree world is coming...has it been used?"

Konoha Village.

On the quiet residential street, five young girls walked side by side, divided into Kakashi, Obito, Lin, who were in Class 7, and Akai and Hong, who were in Class 9.

The five people lined up side by side and walked towards the direction of the commercial street. The reason was that Akai had just completed an S-level task and received a considerable reward, so he decided to invite everyone to eat barbecue.

There is free barbecue to eat, so naturally no one will refuse.

Obito held his head with his hands and kept trying every means to talk to Lin, while Kakashi put his hands in his pockets, looking lazy and deaf. Obito's words were heard.

When Lin and Obito talk, Hong sometimes interjected a few words. As for Akai, he was walking upside down, but he was not training, so his speed maintained the same speed as everyone else.

At this moment, it seemed as if there was a powerful arm that slowly stretched towards Kakashi's back, pressed it on it, and pushed it gently.

Kakashi's body, who was walking at a constant speed, suddenly leaned forward and took several steps directly, passing the crowd standing side by side.

His lazy expression was stunned and turned to confusion.

Kakashi's sudden behavior made the others stunned. He stopped and looked at Kakashi with a confused look on his face.

Akai, walking upside down, turned over and jumped to Kakashi's side. His powerful palm pressed on Kakashi's shoulders, and a big smile appeared on his face, revealing a shiny white teeth.

"Kakashi, are you impatient to eat the barbecue I invited you? I am so moved, don't worry, when you arrive at the barbecue restaurant, eat it even if it's open!"

Obito immediately pointed at Kakashi and laughed: "Kakashi, I haven't seen you so active when eating meat. Is this the reason for treating you? I didn't expect you to be such a person."

Kakashi ignored the two of them and frowned slightly. After a moment, his brows relaxed, glanced at Obito, turned his face, let out a low sigh of disgust, and then slowly looked up and looked into the air.

A light breeze came, rolling up several green leaves, floating from his sight, and the graceful green figure reflected into his eyes.

Seeing Kakashi sighing in disgust, a crossroads suddenly broke out on Obito's forehead.

Lin quietly looked at Kakashi who was staring at the sky with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Chapter completed!
