Chapter 590 Meeting Sosuke

The Land of Rain, Six Paths City.

Scorpion woke up from his sleep, listening to the sound of rain outside, and frowned slightly.

The continuous drizzle made Scorpio, who was already in a bad mood, even more irritable.

He tiptoed to the door, opened it slightly, and looked around carefully.

After making sure that there were no suspicious ninjas around watching him, Scorpion closed the door, returned to his bed, and continued trying to refine his chakra to break the seal in his body.

Ten minutes later, Scorpion opened his eyes, and there was an unconcealable disappointment on his delicate face.

"His sealing technique is so powerful that it has a strong ability to confine things and can be maintained continuously." Scorpion frowned.

Sosuke's sealing technique was stronger than Scorpion had expected.

He originally thought that with his own abilities and time, breaking the seal was a matter of time. He did not expect that after more than two months, there was no progress at all.

Scorpion rubbed his frown and fell into deep thought.

If he couldn't remove the seal on his body, even if he escaped from Liudao City, he wouldn't be able to continue his revenge, and it would even be difficult for him to protect himself.

If a ninja can't use chakra, he's not a ninja.

How could he kill Hatake Kakashi if he wasn't a ninja? You have to know that Hatake Kakashi was not only a ninja, but also a genius ninja.

"Do I really have to wait ten years before being released by the Ninja Clan?" Scorpion clenched his fists, his face full of reluctance.

If Scorpio can finally take revenge, waiting for ten years is completely acceptable.

But there is a problem now. His success rate of revenge will drop significantly in ten years.

Because during these ten years, Scorpion could not practice or study puppetry, but Hatake Kakashi could continue to practice and become stronger.

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, Scorpion is released by the Ninja Clan ten years later. It is unknown whether he can successfully take revenge.

If he can definitely take revenge, Scorpio can accept being locked up for twenty years, let alone ten.

But the thought of revenge being affected can make Scorpio feel irritated in just two months.

Scorpion looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already six forty. There were still ten minutes before breakfast started and forty minutes before breakfast ended.

In the past, Scorpio would go to the cafeteria at this time, because if he went early he wouldn't have to wait in a long line, and Scorpio hates 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 thoughts of lifting the seal and taking revenge.

No matter how Scorpion thought or tried, he could not break the seal in his body.

After experiencing a lot of failures, Scorpio lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

dong dong.

I don’t know how long it was, but there was a knock on the wooden door of Scorpion’s house.

Scorpion ignored the knock on the door and continued lying on the bed looking at the ceiling.

boom!
Since Scorpion refused to open the door, Nagato simply pushed it open with force.

After the door opened, Nagato quickly scanned the room and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Scorpion was just lying on the bed and there was no suspicious red liquid around him.

"Why don't you eat breakfast and go to work? Today is not a day off." Nagato asked Scorpion quietly while looking at him.

Liudao City does not support freeloaders, prisoners need to work.

Sasori did not answer Nagato's question, but just continued to look at the ceiling.

"You know, there's no point in doing this. It will only extend your sentence," Nagato continued.

He knew that Scorpion wanted to leave the Ninja Clan as soon as possible to take revenge.

Hearing the words "extension of sentence", Scorpion finally took action. He turned his head to look at Nagato and finally sat up.

"I want to see Sosuke." Scorpion stated his request in a deep voice.

Scorpion has an impatient personality but he is not a reckless person. He knows that rebelling against the Ninja Clan will only make his situation worse.

The reason why he didn't go to eat breakfast and work was not only because he was in a bad mood, but also because he wanted to have a conversation with the Ninja Clan.

Although Scorpion's current identity destined him to be in an unequal position with the Ninja Clan, Scorpion possesses the human puppet technology that is unique in the entire ninja world.

At the beginning, Scorpion thought he could escape, so he had no intention of making a deal with the Ninja Clan.

But now Scorpion has discovered that Sosuke's sealing technique is ridiculously strong, and not making a deal will seriously affect his revenge plan.

"You can't see Mr. Sosuke whenever you want." Nagato disagreed.

He was the only person who knew Mu Yue's identity and how busy she was. It was impossible for him to take the initiative to cause trouble for her.

"If you have anything, you can tell me."

If Scorpion really has to contact Mu Yue for something, Nagato will report to Mu Yue.

"Do you have the right to restore my freedom? Or can you help me break the seal?" Scorpion asked.

"No." Nagato answered neatly.

He had no power to release prisoners, nor did he have the ability to unlock Mu Yue's seal.

Scorpion forced out a mocking smile, "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 simple, Scorpion hates Nagato.

If Nagato hadn't injured and captured him, he might have made a second assassination attempt and succeeded.

For Sasori, Nagato is the number one enemy who destroyed his revenge plan, so how can Sasori not hate Nagato?

"If it's really an important matter, I will report it to Mr. Sosuke." Nagato ignored Sasori's sarcasm and replied lightly.

"Of course it is a very important matter. After all, it is related to the most important thing in my life - revenge." Scorpion emphasized.

Another reason why Sasori hates Nagato is that Nagato wants him to let go of his hatred.

Although Nagato didn't keep muttering, Scorpion could see it.

Who in their right mind would give a book like "The Importance of Living in the Moment" to a prisoner under their surveillance?

Nagato had never experienced his pain, so how could he be qualified to persuade him to let go of his hatred and embrace a new life.

"The most important thing?" Nagato was slightly stunned.

"It is not only the most important thing, but also the greatest meaning of life." Scorpion continued to emphasize.

After listening to Scorpion's words, Nagato opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end no sound came out.

He originally wanted to tell Scorpion that living like this would be very painful.

But Nagato had watched his parents die before his eyes and understood the pain that death brought.

Having felt that pain himself, it was difficult for Nagato to say anything that would allow others to let go of their hatred.

Even though it was not Kakashi who killed Scorpion's parents, but Kakashi's father.

"No objection? Then tell So about my story..." Sasori said finally when he saw Nagato fell silent.

Seeing that Nagato was speechless after being confronted by him, Scorpion felt much better and decided not to continue talking nonsense with Nagato.

"My parents also died at the hands of Konoha ninjas."

Nagato interrupted Scorpion and said something that surprised Scorpion very much.

"And, right in front of my eyes, he 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 when red and black intertwined.

It was an ordinary dark and rainy night.

For the Rain Kingdom, rain is a common occurrence, and dark clouds always hang over their heads.

However, that day was not ordinary in Nagato's life, as two Konoha ninjas broke into their home and looted food.

In fact, the situation was not that bad at the beginning, because Nagato's parents took Nagato and hid immediately.

They could have escaped quietly, but Nagato accidentally touched a jar, which startled the Konoha ninja, and eventually led to his parents being killed by the Konoha ninja and falling in a pool of blood.

Given Scorpio's temper, if he is interrupted, he will immediately retaliate in the same way the other person has interrupted him. If he is interrupted by someone he hates, the consequences will be even more serious.

But now, Scorpion fell into strange silence.

He was confused now.

He was in so much pain just by hearing the news of his parents' death and seeing their bodies, so shouldn't Nagato, who witnessed his parents' death with his own eyes, be even more painful?
Why doesn't Nagato seem to hate the Konoha ninjas?

"Since your parents were killed by Konoha Ninja, why do you still want to stop me from taking revenge on Konoha Ninja?" Scorpion asked puzzledly.

Even if Nagato didn't help him from the perspective of the Ninja Clan, he shouldn't have attacked him either.

"Don't you hate Konoha ninjas? They are the ones who directly caused the death of your parents?"

"I hate the Konoha ninja who killed my parents, and I hate any ninja who kills innocent people during the war, but I don't hate all Konoha ninjas." Nagato replied.

Before meeting Jiraiya, Nagato hated the ninjas of Konoha.

The Konoha ninjas killed his parents and plunged his country into war. How could Nagato not hate the Konoha ninjas?

After becoming Jiraiya and Mu Yue's disciple, Nagato understood one thing: people are different.

He met some bad Konoha ninjas, but that doesn't mean all Konoha ninjas are like that.

"So what you want to say is, because Hatake Kakashi is not the real ninja who killed my parents, I cannot hate him?" Sasori felt as if he understood Nagato.

Nagato shook his head. He was not prepared to say that.

Nagato did not tell the story of his parents' death to gain sympathy. He just wanted to explain one thing to Scorpion: he had also experienced similar pain and was not a person who only talked 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 previous topic.

But Scorpion didn't care. He immediately asked, "What mission? What do I need to do?"

The reason why Scorpion didn't go to work was to meet Sosuke and reach a cooperation with the Ninja Clan. In a sense, this was getting 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 up. Next, the Ninja Clan will carry out cleanup activities in other areas of the Rain Country, clearing out bandits, illegal ninja organizations, and rampant wandering ninjas.

"Cleaning up stray ninjas, you?" Scorpion couldn't help but ask a question mark.

Scorpion knew very well how terrifying Nagato's strength was. Not only had he witnessed the shocking battle between Nagato and Six-Gate Might Guy, he had also fought with Nagato himself.

If Scorpion is a genius, then Nagato is a monster, a monster that Scorpion finds difficult to defeat even with advance preparation.

Scorpion felt that it was unnecessary to let such a monster deal with the wandering ninjas.

Or are the wandering ninjas of the Rain Country all incredibly strong, and it is not uncommon to see someone at the level of Six-Gate Might Guy?

Nagato nodded.

There are not many ninjas in the Ninja Clan, and some of them have to maintain the operation of Six Paths Castle and be responsible for the security in the southern part. So even though it seems like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, Nagato was still assigned the task.

"So, are you going to agree?" Nagato asked.

"Go." Scorpion thought about it and agreed.

There was no way Nagato would have the idea of ​​killing him, because if Nagato wanted to kill him, Scorpion would have died in the Shinra Tensei long ago.

During the two months in the Ninja Clan, Nagato was the person he had the most contact with, and Sasori had some understanding of him.

Then Nagato went to the construction team to explain the situation, and then took Sasori to the central part of the Rain Country to carry out the mission.

The actual task was a little more troublesome than Scorpion had imagined.

Although the wandering ninjas did not have the strength of Six-Gate Might Guy and were easy to deal with in a fight, if they wanted to clean them up, they had to go back and forth between villages and towns.

It often takes a day or two to find someone, but the battle lasts less than a minute.

There is nothing much to say about the battle process. Wanxiang Tianyin sucked him in and then slammed him into the ground with Shenluo Tianzheng, killing him in seconds.

"Don't you think it's troublesome? With your strength, no one will say anything even if you refuse this kind of mission." It was another battle that took two days of searching and one second to resolve. Scorpion couldn't help but say.

For an impatient man like him, this task was too painful.

"I have the ability to perceive, which makes me more suitable than others." Nagato replied after putting his hand down to check the status of the wandering ninja.

If someone else were to do it, the efficiency would be even lower.

"Thank you so much, ninja masters from the two ninja clans." Seeing that the battle was over, some villagers walked up to Nagato and thanked him.

"Yes, otherwise these robbers would have robbed so much." The villagers expressed their gratitude to the two men in a flurry.

Scorpion didn't feel anything. He was not a ninja from the Shinobi clan, so these words were not directed at him.

However, Scorpion noticed that Nagato, who did not have a very expressive face, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and looked quite happy.

"With monstrous strength and such a strange personality, he is satisfied with just some compliments from civilians." Scorpion thought.

"My handsome brother, this is for you." A little girl handed a bracelet made of flowers and plants to Scorpion.

Scorpion was stunned for a moment and did not take the bracelet, but pointed at Nagato.

"That guy is the Shinobi from the Ninja Clan who will help you deal with your enemies."

"I saw it, so the wreath given to that brother is a bigger one." The little girl laughed and took out a wreath from behind that was several times bigger than the bracelet.

"After all, that brother has made greater contributions."

"Besides, quarreling is not good, and you should never 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, an idea suddenly came to Scorpion's mind.

Red hair is a relatively rare hair color in the ninja world, and since Nagato is taller than him, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, they are relatives.

Scorpion opened his mouth to explain, but the little girl was faster.

"My handsome brother, I wish you can reconcile with your brother soon."

After saying that, the little girl directly put the bracelet into Scorpion's hand, then trotted to Nagato's side and gave him the wreath.

scorpion:……

After all the villagers left, Nagato took the initiative to say, "I will take you to see Sosuke-sensei later."

Scorpion's expression returned to its usual calm state and he nodded.

PS: The writing is still not smooth.

But at least I managed to write it successfully, and this can be considered as yesterday's update.

Today's update will be released around 12:00 to 1:00 AM
