Chapter 590 I Want to Meet Sosuke
The Land of Rain, Six Paths Castle.
Scorpion woke up from his sleep, listening to the sound of rain outside the house, frowning slightly.
The continuous drizzle made Scorpion, who was already in a bad mood, even more irritable.
He tiptoed to the door, slightly opened the door, and carefully observed the surroundings.
After making sure that there were no suspicious ninjas around watching him, Scorpion closed the door, returned to the bed, and continued to try to refine chakra to break the seal in his body.
Ten minutes later, Scorpion opened his eyes, and his delicate face was full of disappointment that could not be concealed.
"His seal is so powerful, it has a strong confinement ability and can be maintained continuously." Scorpion frowned.
Sosuke's seal is stronger than Scorpion expected.
He thought that relying on his own ability and relying on time to grind, it would be a matter of time before the seal is broken, but he didn't expect that more than two months have passed and there has been no progress at all.
Scorpion rubbed his furrowed brows and fell into deep thought.
If he couldn't remove the seal on his body, even if he escaped from the Six Paths City, he couldn't continue to take revenge, and it would be difficult for him to protect himself.
If a ninja couldn't use chakra, he wouldn't be a ninja.
How could he kill Hatake Kakashi if he wasn't a ninja? You know, Hatake Kakashi is not only a ninja, but also a genius ninja.
"Do I really have to wait until he is released by the Ninja Sect in ten years?" Scorpion clenched his fists, his face full of reluctance.
If he can succeed in revenge in the end, Scorpion can accept waiting for ten years.
But now there is a problem, his success rate of revenge will drop significantly in ten years.
Because in these ten years, Scorpion can't practice and study puppetry, while Hatake Kakashi can keep practicing and getting stronger.
As one gains and the other loses, Scorpion will be released by the Ninja Sect ten years later, and it is unknown whether he can succeed in revenge.
If he can definitely take revenge, let alone ten years, even if he is imprisoned for twenty years, Scorpion can accept it.
But the thought of revenge being affected made Scorpion feel irritated in just two months.
Scorpion looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 6:40. There were still ten minutes before breakfast started and forty minutes before breakfast ended.
In the past, Scorpion would go to the cafeteria at this time, because there was no need to queue up for breakfast, and Scorpion hated waiting in line.
But now Scorpion didn't want to move. He was no longer in the mood to eat. His mind was full of things like removing the seal and revenge.
No matter how Scorpion thought and tried, he couldn't do anything about the seal in his body.
After experiencing a lot of failures, Scorpion lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Dongdong.
After an unknown amount of time, the wooden door of Scorpion's house was knocked.
Scorpion ignored the knocking and still lay on the bed looking at the ceiling.
Bang!
Since Scorpion didn't open the door, Nagato pushed the door open with force.
After the door was opened, Nagato's eyes quickly scanned the room and found that Scorpion was just lying on the bed and there was no suspicious red liquid around him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why don't you eat breakfast and go to work? Today is not a day off." Nagato looked at Scorpion quietly and asked.
Six Paths Castle does not keep freeloaders, prisoners need to work.
Scorpion did not answer Nagato's question, but continued to look at the ceiling.
"You know, there is no point in doing this, but it will extend your sentence." Nagato continued.
He knew that Scorpion wanted to leave the Ninja Sect as soon as possible to take revenge.
Hearing the words of extending the sentence, Scorpion finally took action. He turned his head to look at Nagato and finally sat up.
"I want to see Sosuke." Scorpion said his request in a deep voice.
Scorpion has an impatient personality but is not a reckless person. He knows that resisting the Ninja Sect will only make his situation worse.
In addition to being irritable, he also wants to talk to the Ninja Sect.
Although Scorpion's current identity is destined to make him and the Ninja Sect in an unequal position, Scorpion has a unique human puppet technology in the entire Ninja world.
At first, Scorpion thought he could run away, so he didn't think of trading with the Ninja Sect.
But now Scorpion found that Sosuke's seal was ridiculously strong. If he didn't make a deal, it would seriously affect his revenge plan.
"You can't see Mr. Sosuke whenever you want." Nagato didn't agree.
He was the only one who knew Mu Yue's identity and knew how busy Mu Yue was. It was impossible for him to take the initiative to find trouble for Mu Yue.
"If you have something, you can tell me."
If Scorpion really had to contact Mu Yue for something, Nagato would report to Mu Yue.
"Do you have the right to restore my freedom? Or can you help me unlock the seal?" Scorpion asked.
"No." Nagato answered neatly.
He had no right to release prisoners, nor did he have the ability to unlock Mu Yue's seal.
Scorpion pulled out a mocking smile, "Then what's the point of me telling you?"
He didn't expect Nagato to nod in affirmation. Scorpion just wanted to mock Nagato.
It's nothing, Scorpion hates Nagato.
If Nagato hadn't injured and captured him, he might have carried out the second assassination and succeeded.
For Scorpion, Nagato is the number one enemy who destroyed his revenge plan, so how can Scorpion not hate Nagato.
"If it is really a very important matter, I will report it to Mr. Sosuke." Nagato ignored Scorpion's ridicule and replied lightly.
"Of course it is a very important matter. After all, this is related to the most important thing in my life - revenge." Scorpion emphasized.
Another reason why Scorpion hates Nagato is that Nagato wants him to let go of his hatred.
Although Nagato didn't keep mumbling, Scorpion could tell.
Who would give a book like "The Importance of Living in the Present" to the prisoners they monitor?
Nagato hadn't experienced his pain, so how could he be qualified to persuade him to let go of hatred and embrace a new life?
"The most important thing..." Nagato was slightly stunned.
"It's not only the most important thing, but also the greatest meaning of life." Scorpion continued to emphasize.
Nagato opened his mouth and wanted to speak after listening to Scorpion's words, but in the end, no sound came out.
He wanted to tell Scorpion that living like this would be very painful.
But Nagato had watched his parents die in front of him and understood the pain brought by his parents' death.
Nagato, who had experienced that pain personally, found it difficult to say words that would let others let go of hatred.
Even if it was not Kakashi who killed Scorpion's parents, but Kakashi's father.
"No objection? Then tell So about my story..." Scorpion saw that Nagato fell into silence, and finally said.
Seeing that Nagato was speechless because of his own criticism, Scorpion felt much better and was not going to continue to talk nonsense with Nagato.
"My parents also died at the hands of Konoha ninjas."
Nagato interrupted Scorpion and said something that surprised Scorpion.
"And, right in front of me, they died to protect me." Nagato began to tell his story.
Talking about this nightmare that he didn't want to recall again, Nagato couldn't help but recall the night of red and black.
It was an ordinary dark rainy night.
For the Land of Rain, rain is the most common thing, and gloomy clouds always hang over their heads.
But for Nagato's life, that day was not ordinary. Two Konoha ninjas broke into their home to search for food.
In fact, the situation was not so bad at the beginning, because Nagato's parents took Nagato to hide as soon as possible.
They could have escaped quietly, but Nagato accidentally touched a jar, which disturbed the Konoha ninjas, and eventually led to his parents being killed by Konoha ninjas and falling in a pool of blood.
Originally, with Scorpion's temper, if he was interrupted, he would immediately fight back. If he was interrupted by someone he hated, the consequences would be more serious.
But now, Scorpion fell into silence surprisingly.
He was very confused now.
He was so painful just hearing the news of his parents' death and seeing their bodies, so shouldn't Nagato, who witnessed his parents' death, be more painful?
Why doesn't Nagato seem to hate Konoha ninjas?
"Since your parents were killed by Konoha ninjas, why do you still want to stop me from taking revenge on Konoha ninjas?" Scorpion asked puzzled.
Even if Nagato didn't help him from the standpoint of the Ninja Clan, he shouldn't have attacked him.
"Don't you hate Konoha ninjas? They are the murderers who directly caused your parents' deaths?"
"I hate the Konoha ninjas who killed my parents, and I hate any ninja who killed innocent people in the war, but I don't hate all Konoha ninjas." Nagato replied.
Before meeting Jiraiya, Nagato hated Konoha ninjas.
Konoha ninja killed his parents and shrouded his country in war. How could Nagato hate Konoha ninja?
After becoming a disciple of Jiraiya and Mu Yue, Nagato understood a truth: people are different.
He met some bad Konoha ninjas, but it doesn't mean that all Konoha ninjas are like that.
"So what do you want to say? Because Hatake Kakashi is not the real ninja who killed my parents, I can't hate him?" Scorpion felt that he seemed to understand Nagato.
Nagato shook his head. He was not ready to say that.
Nagato told the story of his parents' death not to win sympathy. He just wanted to explain to Scorpion that he had experienced similar pain and was not a person who could only talk big.
"I can take you to see Mr. Sosuke if you help me complete a task." Nagato suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the topic just now.
But Scorpion didn't care. He immediately asked: "What task? What do I need to do?"
Scorpion's purpose of not going to work was to see Sosuke and reach cooperation with the Ninja Sect. In a sense, this is back on track.
"Clear the stray ninjas in the central part of the Rain Country. Since your chakra is sealed, you only need to do some logistical work." Nagato explained.
Various unstable factors in the south have been almost cleared. Next, the Ninja Clan will carry out a cleanup activity in other areas of the Rain Country, clearing out the bandits, illegal ninja organizations, and the rampant stray ninjas.
"Clear the stray ninjas, you?" Scorpion couldn't help but type a question mark.
Scorpion knew how terrifying Nagato's strength was. Not only did he see the shocking battle between Nagato and Six-Gate Might Guy, he also fought with Nagato in person.
If Scorpion is a genius, then Nagato is a monster, a monster that Scorpion can hardly defeat even if he prepares in advance.
Letting such a monster deal with stray ninjas, Scorpion thinks it is unnecessary.
Or are the stray ninjas in the Rain Country extremely strong, and Six-Gate Might Guy's level is not uncommon?
Nagato nodded.
There are not many ninjas in the Ninja Clan, and some of them have to maintain the operation of the Six Paths Castle and be responsible for the security of the southern part, so even if it seems like a cannon against a mosquito, Nagato still got the task.
"So, do you want to agree?" Nagato asked.
"Go." Scorpion thought about it and agreed.
Nagato couldn't possibly have the idea of killing him, because if Nagato wanted to kill him, Scorpion would have died in that Shinra Tensei.
In the two months in the Ninja Clan, Nagato was the person he had the most contact with, and Scorpion had some understanding of him.
Then Nagato went to the construction team to explain the situation, and then took Scorpion to the central part of the Rain Country to perform the mission.
The actual mission was a little more troublesome than Scorpion imagined.
Although the wandering ninjas did not have the strength of the Six Gates Might Guy, they were easy to deal with in a fight, but if they wanted to clean them up, they had to go back and forth between villages and towns.
It often took a day or two to find someone, and less than a minute to fight.
There was nothing much to say about the battle process. Wanxiang Tianyin sucked them in and then hit the ground with Shinra Tensei, and they were killed in seconds.
"Don't you think it's troublesome? With your strength, no one would say anything even if you refuse this kind of mission." It was another battle that took two days to search and one second to solve, Scorpion couldn't help but say.
For an impatient person like him, this kind of mission was too painful.
"I have the ability to perceive, which is more suitable than others." Nagato replied after putting down his palm to check the status of the wandering ninjas.
If other people were to come, the efficiency would be even lower.
"Thank you so much, two ninjas of the Ninja Clan." Seeing the battle was over, some villagers walked up to Nagato and Scorpion to thank him.
"Yes, otherwise these bandits would have robbed so many things." The villagers expressed their gratitude to the two.
Scorpion didn't feel anything. He wasn't a ninja of the Ninja Clan, so this wasn't meant for him.
However, Scorpion noticed that the corners of Nagato's mouth, who didn't have much expression, slightly raised, and he looked quite happy.
"With the strength of a monster and such a strange personality, he is satisfied with just some compliments from civilians." Scorpion thought.
"Good-looking brother, this is for you." A little girl handed Scorpion a bracelet made of flowers and plants.
Scorpion was stunned for a moment, and didn't take the bracelet, but pointed at Nagato.
"That guy is the Ninja Clan ninja who helped you solve the enemy."
"I saw it, so the one I gave to that brother was a bigger wreath." The little girl smiled and took out a wreath that was several times larger than the bracelet from behind.
"After all, that brother has made greater contributions."
"Besides, quarreling is not good, and you can't call your brother 'that guy'." The little girl said seriously.
Scorpion's face was full of question marks. When did Nagato become his brother?
Looking at Nagato's red hair, Scorpion's mind flashed.
Red hair is a rare hair color in the ninja world. In addition, Nagato is taller than him. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, they are relatives.
Scorpion opened his mouth to explain, but the little girl was faster.
"Good-looking brother, I wish you to reconcile with your brother as soon as possible."
After saying that, the little girl directly put the bracelet on Scorpion's hand, and then trotted to Nagato's side to give Nagato a wreath.
Scorpion: ...
After the villagers left, Nagato took the initiative to say: "I will take you to see Mr. Sosuke later."
Scorpion's expression returned to his usual indifference and nodded.
