Chapter 667 The first and last eternity

Riding a white bird, Didara is engaged in a long-distance tug-of-war with Konoha's ninjas.

The reason for the tug-of-war was that Didara couldn't find a weak point to attack the enemy at all.

Although the initiative of the explosion is in his own hands, the enemy's tracking chakra needle, which can be attached to lightning, seems to be the natural enemy of his 'art'.

No matter how many bombs he releases, he will be intercepted outside the safe zone.

Even, he still has to deal with the automatic tracking ability of these chakra needles.

C318th is still in stock. Even if it explodes a little farther away, the power is enough to wipe out the enemy at once.

However, the premise is that C318th has high maneuverability.

Obviously, C318 does not have this point. On the contrary, because of the injection of too heavy chakra, C318 is a bulky giant bomb.

It is convenient to hit ground buildings and large targets. Once it encounters small targets or even targets that are not on the ground, the success rate cannot be said to be zero, but it is definitely not as good as imagined.

"Do you want to use C4?"

His bomb power is generally divided into four levels.

From C1 to C4, the C1 bomb is the least powerful, and the C3 and C4 level bombs have huge destructive power.

But at the same time, the more advanced the bomb, the easier it is to be seen through.

The most important point is that even the most advanced C4 bombs also have the weakness of being afraid of thunder.

Besides, C4 is his hole card. It is too impatient to use it here and reveal his own hole card.

This is just a diversion mission.

"I can only wait for the support from Brother Scorpion. My ninjutsu can't deal with the Thunder Ninja, and I will expose more information about myself. Hmm."

Didara considered this point, and kept releasing C1-level induction bombs, and fired at the Konoha ninja who was flying behind him.

This slow fighting style led to the low fighting spirit of both sides.

Although Konoha has the means to suppress the opponent's ninjutsu, it is obviously impossible to defeat Didala.

Just the fact of flying makes them lose their way.

"If this continues, even if we fight forever, it will be impossible to tell the winner."

Hinoko said.

Although his tone was calm, he actually felt a little impatient in his heart.

"No way, the opponent won't fight us head-on at all. His purpose is to contain us so that we can't successfully rescue Gaara."

Tianzang also sighed helplessly.

Although they can indeed look for Gaara immediately, once they do so, Deidara will definitely come and harass them, making them have to fight.

Once they challenge, the opponent will immediately enter into a tug-of-war, and will not fight head-on.

"I don't know what's going on with Naruto."

Sai said something, and seemed to be a little emotional.

"They don't intend to fight, it seems that I can relax a little..."

Didara looked back at the Konoha four riding on the back of the black bird, and nodded slightly.

This situation is exactly what he wants. It is naturally best to complete the containment task without fighting.

"Words of time..."

Didara was about to check the time to see if the seal over there had been completed.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the forest below, startling him.

He subconsciously drove the white bird to dodge to the side.

But it was too late.

A sharp water blade mercilessly cut off the white bird's wings, roaring towards the sky.

The white bird, which lost a wing, immediately lost its balance in the air, and fell to the forest floor, and Didara also fell with it.

"Oops!"

Obviously, he was ambushed by the enemy.

He tried his best to adjust his body in the air, and when he was about to fall into the dense forest, he turned his head to look.

A red and white figure appeared in front of my eyes.

The pale ghost face covered the girl's face, and the red eyes stared coldly through the holes in the white ghost face.

"Miko!?"

Didara didn't have time to react to what was going on, he stretched out his remaining right hand, opened his mouth in the palm of his hand, and a white falcon rushed towards the witch who jumped beside him.

Boom!

An explosion occurs between the two.

The trees and the air trembled.

Didara sank rapidly, hit the ground, and began to roll.

When it stopped, Didara coughed violently twice.

Although the C1 level bomb was not powerful, his body was still traumatized by the explosion at close range.

"Damn it, where did this shrine maiden come from? Is there such a guy among the ninjas from the ghost country who came after her?"

Didara spat out a mouthful of blood foam, no matter how he thought about it, there was nothing about this witch in his mind.

But there is only one thing that is confirmed. Like the 'princess', this witch is also a ninja belonging to the army of the ghost country.

The whistling sound was heard again.

Didara dodged to the side without hesitation.

With a bang, the ground was crushed by the sudden appearance of feet.

The witch who looks like a ghost appears again.

The whole body is wrapped in black mist that fluctuates like water. Under the pale evil ghost mask, there are a pair of red pupils shining like red lotus karma.

Didara's heart turned cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"After the annoying Thunder Dun, is it a ghost maiden? Mask art is not popular now. Hmm."

Boom!

The ghost priestess trampled on the ground, ignoring Didara's murmurs. With the sound of the sonic boom, the air was shaken. The priestess wearing a ghost mask lost her trace from where she was, and rushed to Didara in the blink of an eye. She stretched out her pale, bone-like palm and grabbed Didara's face.

It seemed as if he was going to tear his face off.

Didara retreats flexibly. Although he is not good at physical skills, it is only relatively speaking.

Didara still has some confidence in his physical agility.

Avoiding the attack of the ghost witch, Didara ran to the depths of the jungle, while letting the mouth of his right hand eat the clay.

As a result, small grasshoppers appeared one after another, swarming towards the ghost witch who was chasing after her.

Seeing these small bombs rushing up, the redness in the eyes of the priestess wearing a ghost mask became brighter and brighter.

The figure was like a gust of wind rushing past, leaving only a black mist that hadn't had time to catch up with her figure, and the whole person disappeared from the group of small bombs like grasshoppers.

Boom!

The flames of the explosion took away only part of the land and trees.

Didara turned his head, and the ghost priestess who was originally at the back had appeared beside him, turning his head and staring at him with red eyes.

Too late to react.

The fist sank into Didara's chest and turned around.

Didara grunted in pain, and his body immediately turned into a shell and flew out, falling into a river.

The ice-cold water splashes covered his body, and brought his painful consciousness back to his senses in an instant.

Didara vomited blood, his eyes remained firm, without any wavering, he moved his feet, and ran with purpose.

The icy breath chased after him, and drops of cold sweat trickled down Didara's cheeks.

"It should be right ahead."

Falling down from the sky before, the white bird with only one wing left is close in sight.

Didara's legs gathered a large amount of chakra in one breath, and suddenly distanced himself from the pursuer behind him.

He jumped to the side of the white bird, stretched out his hand without hesitation, tore off a piece of clay from the white bird, and swallowed it frantically.

Didara swept into the depths of the forest while devouring the clay with his mouth.

The red-and-white witch, wearing a white ghost mask, shrouded in an ominous black mist, rushed from a distance of more than ten meters to mid-air in an instant, her blood-red eyes locked on Didara who was devouring clay.

"Although I don't appreciate the art of witches and masks, I can still be regarded as an art fellow. Then, you also come to witness my art! Uh"

Making a choking sound, Didara swallowed the chewed clay into his stomach in one go.

Terrifying aura overflowed from his body, and the blue chakra was like a leaking airflow, shaking the surrounding air and trees.

Boom!

Didara's body swelled rapidly, turning into a huge, bloated fat man.

Chick!

The coat of the red cloud with a black background was also pulled apart, making a crisp sound of tearing silk.

"Art is a blast! Drink!"

The inflated human flesh ball is agitating extremely amazing chakra.

The witch in mid-air, her red eyes flickered slightly, and the white ghost face immediately turned into black mist and wiped off her face, revealing a delicate and beautiful young girl's face, with long black hair fluttering in the wind.

Countless black tentacles protruded from the girl's cuffs and skirt, like a group of coiled snakes, wrapping the girl tightly, forming a huge black sarcoma.

Boom!

The violent white flash devoured the forest, and also devoured the black 'meat ball'.

The land disappeared piece by piece in the white explosion light, and the trees were uprooted and rushed into the distance.

The light and flames produced by the explosion are like a rising white sun on the ground, allowing the existence that touches it to dissolve in the light.

"Mist branch"

Shouting the maiden's name, she jumped to Hanami Haruka on the trunk of a tree not far away, using her hands to block the rushing airflow ahead.

The hair tied into a side ponytail was blown back, and the wind hit her, making her unable to open her eyes.

When the storm and the loud noise subsided, what appeared in front of Hanami Haruka was a forest clearing that had been gouged out of trees and land, leaving only a huge pothole in the center and a black 'meat ball' that was still stirring its vitality.

However, the breath of life in the black 'meat ball' was very weak, as if it had also been severely injured, and it retracted its curled tentacles dying, and retracted them into the girl's cuffs and skirt.

Came to the earth pit created by the explosion, Hanami Haruka was relieved to see that nothing happened to the girl Wuzhi.

Then she looked forward with lingering fear, only a few pieces of black rags that ignited sparks remained.

"This guy is too crazy, he chose to commit suicide directly..."

Hanami Haruka swallowed.

"Probably because I felt that I couldn't escape, so I chose to kill myself."

Wuzhi said calmly.

She didn't feel anything about Didara's self-destruct attack, but felt that it was a pity that she couldn't get the other party's body.

When Hanami Haruka was about to say something, there was movement in the sky.

The four people headed by Tianzang jumped off Mo Niao's back.

"Did the guy kill himself?"

Tianzang asked.

"Yes, he committed suicide. However, you are too late, aren't you? Moreover, after such a long time, you are still entangled with the enemy."

Hanami Haruka frowned, feeling very dissatisfied with Konoha and the others' paddling.

As latecomers, they all entered the battle directly. Before this group of Konoha guys, they were still engaged in a long tug-of-war with the enemy.

"Our side lacks the means to directly attack him. In addition, he has been keeping a distance from us, and it is difficult for us to attack him."

Tianzang spread his hands.

"Forget it, anyway, what's wrong with Ichino Jinchuriki has nothing to do with us."

Huajian Yao put away her dissatisfaction, and felt that she cared too much about this group of people, so she said this.

Sure enough, when Tianzang and the others heard these words, their complexions changed.

Now that the enemy has been eliminated, the next step is to rescue Gaara.

Thinking of this, it was too late to continue asking about their health here, and the four of them set off again to leave.

"Yiwei is probably hopeless."

Wuzhi looked at the direction where Konoha and the others were leaving, and said.

"It has nothing to do with us. The fourth generation of Kazekage who came behind should have almost rushed over, but this mission has come to an end. Let's go and have a look."

Hana Haruka followed the trajectory of Konoha and the four, and chased them together with Wuzhi.

For the current situation, Scorpion already has sufficient understanding.

I failed myself.

Being pierced through the 'core', he will die soon.

"It seems that even the so-called eternity will disappear one day... My eternity, has it come to an end?"

This sentence seems to be asking others, but also like asking yourself.

"Of course, how could we lose to a guy like you who tramples on other people's feelings indiscriminately!"

Naruto came over and said solemnly.

"Emotions? Small and meaningless things. What I want to do, this old woman is also doing. The so-called ninjas don't need emotions"

boom!

Flicking his head to the side, Xie was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Undoubtedly, it was Naruto's fist that interrupted his words.

Naruto flashed angrily in front of Scorpion, staring at his pair of eyes that were emotionless.

Xie was silent for a while, and asked, "You are angry?"

"Of course, why can you say such things with a ruthless face? You also want to join a terrorist organization and be hostile to your past companions and relatives!"

Naruto couldn't understand what Scorpion was doing.

"Companions... relatives... that was a very long time ago. And this kind of words are quite ambiguous. The connection between people is just pieces of meat. Things like emotions will make ninjas lose their ambition to fight"

boom!

The fist hit again.

Naruto stopped Scorpion from continuing.

"Shut up!"

"Your anger is useless. I'm just a puppet, and I don't feel pain. Besides, no matter how close people are, they will inevitably face each other in the end. The old lady Chiyo and I are exactly"

boom!

"shut up!"

Naruto pushed the scorpion to the ground, and the blade still stabbed the scorpion's heart, making him unable to move.

Or, Scorpion didn't even bother to move.

Just let Naruto's fist greet him on his face, constantly attacking.

As a result, Naruto's fist was covered with blood, and he was still attacking, as if intending to use his fist to wake up the puppet Scorpion from his dream.

However, there was no fluctuation on Scorpion's face.

No matter how powerful Naruto's fist was, or how painful it was when it hit someone's face, Scorpion didn't feel anything.

"Human beings always like to do some boring things. As far as human beings are concerned, too emotional behavior will only put themselves in danger. I am just a careless puppet. Even if you hit me with your fist, what's the point?"

In Naruto's fist, Scorpion's words were neither hasty nor slow.

Perhaps because this was the last part of his life, his mood completely calmed down.

Death will come sooner or later, so there is no need to worry or be afraid, just wait quietly.

"Nonsense, how can human beings have no heart?"

Naruto retorted like this.

He can't understand Scorpion's high-handed tone that tramples human feelings into the dust.

Human feelings are definitely not such things that are despised by others.

"Then, being pierced through the heart, I still don't feel the pain, so what are the different things?"

Scorpion asked indifferently.

That's right, even if the heart is pierced, Scorpion can't feel what 'pain' is.

What is the heart?

The organ that makes him move?

Or supply him with action, an important component on the puppet?

Besides that, what is the heart?

Heart

"Cough!"

The sound of coughing stunned Naruto, and the blood from the scorpion's mouth sprayed onto his face.

Chiyo was also taken aback, and looked at Scorpion who was spitting out blood with disbelieving eyes.

"Scorpion, you..."

Naruto also seemed to be stunned by fright, and was stunned for a moment, looking at the scorpion who was being pressed down by him and coughing constantly, he immediately realized something, wiped off the blood on his face, left his body, and let his breathing be as smooth as possible.

"What is this...my body...how could..."

Scorpion was coughing up blood, and his face was distorted in a human way, and the muscles on his face were wrinkled together in pain.

Suffocation, pain, and all kinds of strange feelings made Scorpio's eyes widen for no reason.

Chiyo came to Scorpion's side, and put his palm on Scorpion's 'core' piece of flesh, which was beating gently like the sound of a heart beating.

It's just that as the blood flows more and more, the feeling of beating is very subtle, but it is indeed beating.

Like a human heart beating.

"Damn...what does this feel like...why do I feel so bad...my body...already..."

This feeling is strange and familiar.

It seems that the lost things have been found by him one by one.

That's pain.

is perception.

is the desire for life.

Only a living person can exist.

Why?

Why do you have it?

No such thing should exist.

I am an eternal puppet. Scorpion wanted to tell himself loudly, but the suffocation and pain emerging from his chest were so strong.

"Scorpion, has your body become a human again?"

The words Naruto guessed made Scorpion's eyes shake.

Think of something.

"Yin-Yang Dun... Injecting Yin-Yang Dun into the puppet, is there still such a defect? You even gave my body to..."

Scorpion understood what was going on.

Yin and Yang escape.

Giving life to the invisible is the art of creating something out of nothing.

The puppet doll that was infused with the power of yin and yang escape came to life.

"Hahaha"

Scorpion opened his mouth wide to breathe, and let out a miserable laugh, as if mocking something.

Then there were two more coughs.

"I didn't expect the 'eternity' that would last my whole life... Before dying, Yin Yang Dun returned everything I was striving for to the original place..."

This is really ironic.

"Is this my punishment? Sure enough, eternity... is something that doesn't exist? All the truths I have explored so far don't exist..."

Scorpion muttered to himself, looking at the sky, the self-mockery on his face became more and more obvious.

"Compared to punishment... I think it's time for you to repent. At least at the last moment, you will die as a person with emotions, not a puppet who can't feel anything."

Naruto looked at Scorpion's struggling, annoyed, and even painful face, his eyes were full of pity.

"Confession? Human? What a boring rhetoric... How could I have such a boring emotion."

Not knowing whether he accepted Naruto's statement, Xie just laughed twice, still mocking himself.

"In the end, I'm actually bored too... The puppet, Eternity, turned around and returned to the original place at the end. That being the case, at the end, I'll do some boring things too..."

Scorpion's eyes returned to calm.

The breathing in his chest also became stable, but it became weaker and weaker.

"Nine-tailed ghost."

Scorpion called Naruto.

Naruto looked over.

"You want to know about Orochimaru from me, for Sasuke Uchiha."

Scorpion expressed Naruto's thoughts.

"What do you know?"

Naruto asked impatiently.

Scorpion pursed his lips and said lightly: "As your reward for defeating me, I will tell you about Orochimaru...that was the news revealed by the other party when I inadvertently communicated with Orochimaru a few months ago. In four months... Oroshemaru will perform reincarnation ninjutsu on Uchiha Sasuke and invade Uchiha Sasuke's body."

"Four months..."

Naruto suddenly clenched his fist.

"As for the location...according to what I have known about Orochimaru for many years, you can go to the mountain at the junction of Tianzhi Country and Iron Country. Orochimaru will most likely be there in the secret base there, and Uchiha Sasuke...hand..."

At the end of Scorpion's speech, his voice became weaker and weaker, and he gradually lost his voice. He slowly closed his eyes and lay there motionless.

Chiyo looked at Xie's peaceful sleeping face, and remembered that more than 20 years ago, she was like this too, quietly watching him fall asleep peacefully by Xie's bed, waiting for him...

fell into endless chaos.

As if surrounded by icy and dark lake water, it kept squeezing towards the body of the scorpion.

After all... In the end, nothing was done. Scorpion sighed inwardly.

The so-called 'eternity', in the end, is nothing.

What is it that you pursue?

Scorpion keeps thinking and questioning.

Immediately, he handed over both hands, Xie raised his head, looked to the left and right, and the warm smiles of men and women appeared in the field of vision.

They stretched out the same warm palms and stroked his hair.

Is this me?

Scorpion looked down at his shrinking palm, as if he had returned to the past, the moment when the idea of "eternity" was born.

After that, the man and the woman looked back as if nostalgic, and then they ran out without hesitation and rushed to the frontline battlefield.

"Grandma, when will Mom and Dad come back?"

Looking at the kind old man next to him, the boy asked innocently.

Touched the boy's hair, the old man's eyes were full of love, and he looked into the distance: "Soon...they will come back soon, and then they will never leave your side..."

"Um."

The boy nodded heavily, standing on top of the sandstone, looking at the endless desert in front of him, waiting for his return on the battlefield.

Whether it's day, dusk, or night.

Rainy weather, windy weather.

Boys will come as promised and wait.

After waiting for a long time, one month, one year, two years, three years, until I graduated from ninja school and became a ninja, my impression of the 'parents' that existed in my memory became more and more blurred.

I only remember that they had a pair of warm big hands, soothing his loneliness and the coldness in his heart.

"At the end of the day...I still didn't get anything..."

Scorpion felt that his consciousness was constantly sinking.

Falling towards a bottomless black hole.
