Konoha 42 years.

Xie Mao looked at himself in the mirror with a dull expression, and did not regain consciousness for a long time.

In the mirror, the handsome shota with short red hair has her eyes out of focus and her mouth slightly open, like a solidified statue of a real person.

Suddenly, the sound of wind blowing outside the window woke Xie Mao. He slowly stretched out his hand to touch his face, curled his thumb and fingers, grabbed his face and pulled it out.

Pain...real pain...Xie Mao put down his hand and leaned over the sink with extremely complicated emotions.

Xie Mao finally confirmed that he had traveled through time inexplicably. After obviously just staying up all night, he went to bed with sore eyes, hands and shoulders, but when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not the ceiling of his home, but...

Two cold puppets fell in front of me!

It took Xie Mao, who was not a senior Naruto fan, some time to recognize who the two puppets were. Then, while slowly gaining Scorpion's memory, he quickly ran into the bathroom and made the final determination.

I seem to have become the dwarf of the Akatsuki organization - S-class rebel ninja Scorpion!

Oh, look at this short-handed person and this living environment full of gravel. It seems that he hasn’t defected yet, so that’s okay.

How did I time travel? I had no choice when I time travel, and I actually time travel to the body of a Scorpion whose parents both died!

Oh, if it’s not the Uchiha clan that traveled back in time before they were exterminated, then it’s okay.

Xie Mao stood up straight and couldn't help but sigh softly while recalling various information about the world of Naruto.

Saying "I'm here" can't let Xie Mao relax at all. He was a good-natured young man of the new century with a happy family, and was transported into a world of ninjas fighting for life and death...

Especially Sand Hidden Village, the more you look at it, the weaker it becomes.

The hesitation of not knowing whether he can go home, the confusion of not knowing how to go on, the fear of not knowing whether there is a conspiracy hidden behind the time travel... Xie Mao fell into deep thought.

Before time travel, he was already a fast-moving man. Although his personality was always a bit off-kilter, when he got serious, he had all the responsibilities that a mature man should have.

If you want to gain a foothold in the ninja world, or even find a way back home, strength is a must, but what can you do to steadily increase your strength?

Take one step at a time and see what happens next? There is no sense of security at all!

How long will it take for those two saviors to pacify the ninja world? Aren't there still a lot of troubles to come? And it's too embarrassing for the time travellers. It's really useless!

Show off your talent boldly? Then in the third battle, wouldn't you have to go to the battlefield to face the extremely powerful Konoha... Hey, why didn't you travel to the luxurious Konoha!

Survive the Third World War and then come to prominence? Hiss... This is a good idea, but it needs to solve a very urgent problem.

How does he stand out and gain strength?

After Xie Mao traveled through time, he inherited Xie's memories one after another, but they were only memories and lacked the most important talent.

It's like watching a first-person movie. Xie Mao knows Xie Mao's past and knows all kinds of knowledge, but he doesn't have the ability to put the knowledge into practice immediately. Xie Mao must put in time and effort, plus a certain amount of talent.

, it is possible to turn this knowledge into skills.

After all, knowing is one thing, doing is another.

That knowledge and memory could only help the current Xie Mao to move the chakra in his body unskilledly, but they were powerless against the two puppets lying in the hall.

He knew how to control the puppet, but he could only barely operate the chakra, let alone the more complex chakra lines and precise control of the chakra.

Is this kind of special ability that requires talent really suitable for today's "Scorpions"?

Moreover, he most likely does not have the spirituality and multi-tasking ability of "Scorpion", and he really cannot afford the reputation of "Scorpion" as a genius.

It's not that Xie Mao underestimates himself, it's just that he has a very clear understanding of himself even though he hasn't found the golden finger yet - he is just an ordinary modern person who has no idea what ninja talents he has.

Xie Mao doesn't really think that he can be a genius in puppetry like Xion. It is even very possible that he will only be an unlucky guy with mediocre talent, unable to learn powerful secret techniques, and can only be a ninja in his life. He can only be defeated by the times.

Big waves rolled everywhere.

That kind of life is too bad.

Let's ignore these unpleasant possibilities for the time being... Xie Mao let go of his frown that he didn't know when, and couldn't help but think about any shortcuts.

Putting aside the various hidden treasures in the Naruto world, as a time traveler, does he really have no system to accompany him?

"System, are you there?"

"Is there anything I can add to the panel to help?"

"Hello, system?"

Xie Mao silently shouted similar words more than a dozen times in his heart, but to no avail. Finally, Xie Mao gave up on this idea.

The time traveler has no system, so why should he travel through time!? Do you really want me to work hard on my own in this familiar yet unfamiliar world?

Xie Mao's brows wrinkled again, the adult world is really too difficult.

squeak!

Suddenly, a somewhat harsh sound of the door opening woke Xie Mao up.

"Xiao, Ebizo and I are back."

Amidst the faint whistling of the wind outside the door, the kind old woman's voice sounded.

Xie Mao was stunned for a moment, then quickly restored his cold poker face according to his memory, and walked out of the bathroom.

Even if he didn't inherit Xie's memory, Xie Mao still knew who the old woman's voice came from.

Xia's grandmother - Chiyo, however, the Ebizo mentioned in the words is not Xia's grandfather, but Chiyo's younger brother.

This pair of siblings are both nearly fifty years old. They are not only respected elders in the village, but also high-level consultants of Sunagakure Village. They are very good at using puppetry.

The original owner of Scorpion learned the puppetry technique from Chiyo, with the purpose of making and controlling puppets [Father] and [Mother], so that they can accompany his lonely self like real parents.

But as soon as Xie Mao walked out of the bathroom door, he saw Chiyo standing stiffly, lowering his head blankly, and the hands gathered in the wide sleeves were clenching and shaking unconsciously.

Ebizo, who was standing next to her, remained silent. He just looked at Xie Mao who had just walked out without any trace. After finding that there was nothing strange about Xie Mao, he withdrew his gaze with peace of mind.

Xie Mao followed Qianyo's gaze and saw the two puppets lying on the floor of the hall.

It was a puppet that Xion made based on the appearance of his parents during his childhood. It was originally just a simple ordinary puppet, but after Xion truly mastered puppet surgery, Chiyo added weapons such as katana swords, chain blades, and steel wires to the puppets to make them possess

Very excellent performance.

Xie Mao immediately understood the current situation.

Even though they were just puppets, they were still puppets with the appearance of their parents. When they lay powerlessly on the ground, Chiyo's memories that she thought were covered in dust immediately peeled open the wounds that had not yet fully healed, and heavily pierced her defenses.

Hurry up and read this article... Because your body is not yet proficient in the language of the Naruto world, Xie Mao's brain turned quickly and he tried his best to speak without causing any problems in the speed and intonation:

"Grandma Chiyo, Uncle Ebizo, you are back."

Xie Mao's plain voice made Chiyo, who now pays more attention to his grandson, wake up from his own world and look at Xie Mao. Ebizo took the opportunity to control the puppets, making the two puppets that fell on the ground move quickly, and stood aside like him.

disturb.

A bit handsome... Xie Mao saw it and praised it. He guessed that it was Ebizo who moved his hand, but he only noticed that Ebizo retreated silently and did not notice any strange movement in the other person's hand.

Chiyo calmed down, and his wrinkled oval face revealed the joy of seeing his grandson: "Xiao, how are you doing today?"

It is not easy to be a senior consultant in a village, especially in a village like Sunagakure that is not so wealthy and has many problems. Chiyo and Ebizo are both very busy and often need to leave early and come back late. They can only leave Scorpion alone for most of the day.

People pass.

Chiyo thought about asking old servants who had served the family for many years or Scorpion's peers to accompany Scorpion, but Scorpion's cold temperament from the inside out made most people afraid to get close to communicate with Scorpion. Seeing Scorpion becoming more and more withdrawn, Chiyo could only

I personally spend time every day trying to communicate with Scorpio, hoping to get into Scorpio's heart and untie his knot.

But the result is that without a child named Xiao Chong, Chiyo cannot even communicate effectively with Xia.

"fine."

Xie Mao anxiously worked out his words bit by bit, but maintained the indifference on his face and said slowly and appropriately: "Grandma Qiandai, I'm tired. I'm going to rest first."

Is it like this again... Chiyo lamented in his heart, but he didn't dare to force him to stay. He could only nod silently and look at Xie Mao with distress.

Ebizo on the side looked down slightly, feeling that his sister's grandson was unusually bald.

It’s really hard to do anything about it.

When Xie Mao saw that Chiyo and Ebizo were no different, he knew that he had successfully passed the test. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He didn't want to be hung up and beaten on the first day of time travel when someone noticed something unusual.

He kept calm, turned around and left step by step. As he passed the two puppets, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

In his memory, Xie will always bring these two puppets representing his parents back to the bedroom, but he can't control the puppets now!

Do you want him to carry two puppets upstairs? This joke is not funny at all.

What should we do? Xie Mao paused.

No!

No, no, no! Don’t think about it, don’t stop, keep walking!

Xie Mao made a decision instantly. He suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and calmed himself down. He knew how perverted the ninjas in this world were. If he hesitated and became afraid, his heart rate would suddenly rise. Chiyo and Chiyo standing behind him

Ebizo would discover it immediately and become suspicious.

That's it!

Xie Mao maintained a normal speed and walked up the stairs step by step. When he reached the second floor and there was no movement behind him, he slowly relaxed a little.

It should not have been discovered... Xie Mao thought to himself.

"Scorpion..." Suddenly, Chiyo's voice sounded from the first floor.
