Chapter 312: Touching Reunion between Grandparents and Grandchildren

After taking out the Wind Shadow Puppet, Scorpion used magnetic escape to manipulate the iron sand in the nearby ground.

The iron sand penetrated into Shukaku's body at an extremely fast speed, making Shukaku's steps, which were originally light, become extremely heavy, and even moving his body became very simple.

"You actually mastered magnetic escape as well!"

After noticing something wrong with his body, Shukaku said with an extremely grim expression.

As a tailed beast that is almost invincible in the desert, Shukaku is not afraid of many things. One is the sealing technique of the Wind Temple, and the other is the magnetic escape technique mastered by successive Kazekage.

The former could seal him in a container unreasonably, while the latter made his steps become extremely heavy, and he was eventually sealed with the sealing technique.

Therefore, after seeing the Magnetic Release, Shukaku felt very bad.

He had finally found a chance to escape, and before he had time to enjoy a few days in the desert, a magnetic ninja appeared next to him, ready to seal him.

Besides Shukaku, the other Sand Village ninjas present also had ugly expressions.

After Scorpion took out the Wind Shadow puppet, they quickly recognized the identity of the puppet.

This is not an ordinary puppet, but a rare human puppet in the ninja world. Only a human puppet made from corpses can perform ninjutsu.

In the entire ninja world, there are only a few ninjas who have mastered magnetic escape, and even fewer corpses.

The last missing magnetic ninja in the ninja world was none other than the Third Kazekage. Combined with the familiar human puppet making technology, they quickly thought of the genius puppeteer of that time, Scorpion of the Red Sand.

They were very grateful to Scorpion for taking the initiative to protect the village when the village was in danger.

But why would Scorpion, who had been missing for many years, suddenly return to the village, and bring with him a human puppet made by the Third Kazekage?
Can we conclude from this that the disappearance of the Third Kazekage was caused by Scorpion?

Scorpion noticed the cold looks around him but didn't pay much attention to them. His mind was completely focused on controlling the Kazekage puppet and was busy sealing Shukaku's chakra back into Gaara's body.

Before long, Shukaku's size became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared on Gaara.

Scorpion helped the unconscious Gaara up, looked at the Sand Ninjas in front of him and said, "Why are you blocking my way? If you want to attack me, just go ahead."

"But anyone who attacks me will be considered an enemy by me, and I will not show mercy to my enemies."

The Sand Ninjas did not give way, and the leading jonin Maki asked directly:

"Scorpion, we are very grateful that you subdued the runaway Shukaku this time, but will you explain the origin of this magnetic puppet?"

Scorpion frowned, then said:
"What's there to explain? This is a human puppet that you consider taboo, and it was made from the corpse of the Third Kazekage."

"The Third Kazekage!"

As expected, the jonin Maki thought to himself, and angrily looked at Scorpion, "Scorpion, the disappearance of the Third Kazekage is indeed related to you. How did you kill the Third Kazekage back then? Do you know that your actions have harmed the entire village?"

Scorpion glanced at the jonin Maki, then walked to the other side of the crowd.

He was too lazy to explain the past to these Sand Ninjas. He would ignore those Sand Ninjas who did not attack him, and he would not let go of those who attacked him.

Scorpion's silence made the faces of the surrounding Sand Villagers change, and they looked at Scorpion's back with murderous eyes.

But Scorpion's words just now made them afraid to take the initiative. Scorpion was more than capable of suppressing the runaway tailed beasts, and they, the ninjas, would just be courting death if they went up now. The same was true for the jonin Maki. Although he was a close confidant of the Fourth Kazekage, he knew that if he could stop Scorpion at this moment, the Fourth Kazekage would definitely look at him with new eyes, but he didn't want to lose his life in vain.

Just as Scorpion was about to leave, a group of people blocked Scorpion's way.

If it were anyone else, Scorpion would have ignored the other person or attacked directly, but the one who stopped Scorpion was none other than Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure.

Elder Chiyo is the strongest puppeteer in Sunagakure and also Scorpion's grandmother.

Ten minutes ago, the Sand Village Anbu noticed Shukaku's rampage and immediately went to the Kazekage Building to seek help from the Fourth Kazekage, but the Kazekage was not in his office.

In desperation, they could only look for Elder Chiyo who was retired and lived outside the Sand Village.

After hearing the news of Shukaku's rampage, Elder Chiyo immediately changed into ninja clothes and rushed to the Sand Village. When he arrived at the Sand Village, he found that the battle was over and Shukaku had been suppressed again.

She thought Shukaku was sealed by Rasa.

In the entire Sand Village, the only ninja who can suppress and seal Shukaku is Rasa. But after arriving here, she finds out that the one who sealed Shukaku is a puppeteer she has never seen before.

More importantly, the puppeteer has a human puppet that masters the art of magnetic escape.

Apart from her, the only ninja in the ninja world who has the ability to create human puppets is her grandson Sasori, and she has also thought of the material of the human puppet. It must be the Third Kazekage who has been missing for many years.

She had already thought of these ideas when Sasori and the Third Kazekage disappeared.

But she was unwilling to believe that her well-behaved and lovely grandson would kill the Third Kazekage of the village, and even with Scorpion's strength, he was unable to kill the Third Kazekage.

But the reality is so absurd that her grandson killed the Third Kazekage and appeared in front of them with a human puppet.

After the two sides looked at each other, Scorpion slowly stopped and said in a cold voice: "Elder Qiandai, are you here to stop me too?"

Elder Qiandai sneered, and then said: "Elder Qiandai? Scorpion, it's only been ten years since we last met, have you forgotten the etiquette I taught you back then?"

Hearing this, Scorpion said expressionlessly: "Old woman, I have already changed my appearance, and you still recognize me. You are not going to do anything to me like other stupid people, are you?"

"Of course I won't act rashly."

Elder Chiyo looked at Gaara in Scorpion's hand, and then said: "But why do you want to hold the Jinchūriki of the Sand Village hostage?"

"Holding a Jinchūriki?"

Scorpion shook his head and threw Gaara to Elder Chiyo, saying, "I was actually protecting him just now. If I hadn't taken action, the Jinchūriki would have been dead by now."

"Are you here to protect the Jinchūriki?"

Elder Chiyo frowned and said, "The Jinchūriki needs your protection? The Sand Village will protect the Jinchūriki. Besides, you are not allowed to leave now. I still have many things to ask you."

"Old woman, why are you as annoying as before? Do you have to control everything for me?"

Having said that, Scorpion stopped, pointed in the direction nearby, and said, "As for whether I have a Jinchūriki to protect me, you can just ask a ninja named Yashamaru."

"He was the one who assassinated the Jinchūriki just now, and he did so with the order of the Kazekage."
