Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 270 Scorpion: Sir, times have changed!
Until the corner left,
The oppressive atmosphere in the Frost Country's underground gold exchange was slightly relieved, and the bounty ninjas who dared not even breathe a single breath finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so scared, how come this guy walks without making any sound?"

"I didn't even notice he was coming. Luckily, he didn't say anything that would offend this person's taboo. Otherwise, I'm afraid all of us would have died here today."

A bounty ninja patted his chest and spoke with lingering fear.

Kakuzu's name is well known to those who are in the bounty ninja world.

Teammates, passers-by, and even the deacon in charge of the liaison at the gold exchange, as long as he dislikes them, he will kill them all.

"Who said it wasn't true?" The bounty ninja sitting opposite him also had a look of fear on his face.
"But what's the matter with the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan?"

"Didn't I hear that guy fell off the cliff in Hell Valley?"

"Besides, that's Hell Valley! The lowest cliff is nearly a thousand meters high. Even for a jonin with plenty of chakra, it would be very difficult to survive if he fell from that kind of terrain. What's more, I heard that guy had a hand-to-hand fight with the tailed beast Jinchuriki, and his chakra was exhausted, his eyes were dug out by Kakuzu, and he was seriously injured."

"In that situation, the person should be dead for sure, so why is he treated as missing?"

The other bounty ninja shook his head.
"The news came from Kumogakure. Who knows what happened in that war? Hey, maybe the Third Raikage went to Hell Valley~"

"Otherwise, how could Yunyin even have its village destroyed this time?"

"The news is too confusing now, but I heard that many people are rushing to the capital of the Thunder Country, Yunming City."

"I see, everyone wants to know whether the only Uchiha Ci still alive and kicking in the world is the real thing or not?"

In a corner of the money exchange, there was a figure wearing a high-collared black robe and a hood that completely covered his face, with only a few strands of red hair left exposed.

now,

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking in the direction where Kakuzu left, listening to the whispers of the bounty ninjas beside him.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile.
"Yunming City?"

The flickering candlelight on the table illuminated half of his face.
This person was the one who killed the Sandaime Kazekage and single-handedly set off the fuse of the Third Ninja World War.

The genius puppeteer of the Sand Village - Scorpion of the Red Sand!
After rushing all the way from the Kingdom of Wind to the Kingdom of Soup,
According to his original plan, he should have participated in the battle in Hell Valley.

However, on the way, he accidentally discovered a group of Konoha ninjas with strange movements, and followed them out of curiosity.
Then he followed all the way to the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.

Then, the night before yesterday,
He witnessed a very spectacular scene in the Hidden Cloud Village.

And things that are full of artistic atmosphere.

There were three gun barrels, and only one was lit up, and it blasted the two heads of the Yamata no Orochi with its chakra cannon!

That terrifying thing that can only be controlled by inspiring human lives!
"Relying on traditional kunai and ninja tools, which are always subject to wear and tear, is too boring and does not conform to the eternal beauty I pursue."

Thinking of the scene he saw the day before, Scorpion couldn't help but shook his head.
Then, he took out a very epoch-making object from under his black robe.

It was a thing that looked like a flintlock pistol, but the difference was that a crystal clear blue chakra core made from human body replaced the flint.
There is an anvil next to the fire hole. When shooting, pull the trigger and it will hit the chakra core under the action of the spring, and shoot out a chakra beam bullet with power far exceeding that of ordinary gunpowder detonating talismans.

Just like now!

Scorpion stood up silently, took out his pistol and aimed it at the bald man who was standing in front of the bar wiping cups with a confused look on his face.

Then, he pulled the trigger and the chakra core lit up!

boom!
The sound of gunfire marked the final victory!

next moment,
A bloody hole immediately appeared on the bald man's forehead and he fell down with a dazed look on his face.

"Sure enough, compared to ninja tools like kunai, this thing is more useful."

"Seven steps away, the light bullet is fast, within seven steps, the light bullet is even faster!"

Then, he turned the gun around, aimed at the bounty ninjas who had not yet reacted, and pulled the trigger again!

boom!
Purple smoke exploded and quickly enveloped the entire basement!

"You can also mix chakra toxins with wind-attribute chakra cores and integrate them into light bombs to cause area damage!" The bounty ninjas who inhaled the poisonous mist vomited blood and fell down with horror on their faces.

Standing among the corpses, Scorpion looked at the dark and cracked chakra core at the end of the pistol and shook his head.
"The power can still be further improved. Apart from being a bit manpower-consuming, it has almost no disadvantages."

"However, as long as we can find an infinite self-healing chakra core that can be made from the human body, it can barely be called a work of art."

Holding a corpse, Scorpion put away his pistol and took out a hand saw from his black robe.
He cut open the bounty ninja's abdomen with a knife, then reached in and pressed his hand, using the Human Puppet Technique - Chakra Core to squeeze his dead body into a mummy, and extracted a large amount of chakra that gathered in the abdomen for refining.

Finally, he took out a brand new, crystal clear, blood-stained chakra core.

The life of this ninja is reflected in this beautiful yet sinister crystal.
Scorpion didn't bother to wipe the blood off his face, just looked at it infatuatedly, put it in his pocket, and continued to work.

Next,
He also wanted to transform these corpses into human bodies one by one to replenish his reserves, and then rob this underground gold exchange.

after all,

Pursuing art is also very expensive.
As for the infinite self-healing chakra core that can be refined from the human body,
Although the original target Uchiha Ci has disappeared, isn’t there another Uchiha Ci in the capital of the Land of Lightning?

After killing all the people in the gold exchange and looting everything,

Scorpion twisted his tired neck and walked out of the money exchange office, stepping on the pool of blood.

The sunlight on the coast of the Frost Country was dazzling and warm, causing him to narrow his amber eyes.

A ninja wearing a headscarf who had been waiting outside for a long time saw Scorpion coming out, and quickly came over and handed over a piece of information.
"Master Scorpion,"

"The results of the investigation into 'Uchiha Ci' in Yunming City are out."

"Oh?"

Scorpion took it and looked at it carefully.

"I see. This 'Uchiha Ci' was a younger brother that Uchiha Ci accepted in the Land of Hot Springs. That's why he is doing things under his name."

"The genius boy who experienced the ultimate test of the evil god and gained immortality like Uchiha Ci is called,"

"Hidan?"

Scorpion paused to think for a moment, then nodded.
"Although it's not as good as Uchiha Ci, it's barely good enough as a work of art."

"Moreover, if the real Uchiha is not dead, he will definitely not sit idly by after hearing this news."

Scorpion smiled slightly, his amber eyes focused, and he said firmly:
"He will appear in Yunming City!"

The hooded ninja was slightly startled, then raised his head.
"What do you mean, sir?"

"Spread this news and gather all those who are interested in Uchiha Ci!"

Scorpion sneered:

"I want to turn this place into my hunting ground!"

Scorpion still felt a little regretful because he had witnessed the collapse of the Hidden Cloud Village and had not been able to catch up with the fierce battle of Hell Night.

But it doesn’t matter, he will gather this group of people again, and then hunt them down one by one!

Makes for a perfect collection!

"Go ahead, I have to go too."

He casually threw a stack of banknotes into the hands of the turbaned ninja and sent him off to do his work.
Scorpion identified the direction and walked towards Yunming City.

And then,
On the road ahead of Scorpion, in a dilapidated town in the Frost Country,

A young man holding a baby in one hand and dragging a boy with a black cloth covering his eyes, who looked like a corpse.

He stopped in front of the city gate.
