Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Liao Wu felt a pang of heartache at the waste of Scorpion's talent. What a beautiful flower it was, to be destroyed by that cold-blooded creature, Scorpion.

But Liao Wu was still able to forgive Xie because he was kind.

"Scorpion, I'm giving you a chance now. Use your human puppet technology to modify that girl immediately."

"It must be made sure she is completely intact, without the slightest flaw, and it must have the function of generating its own heat!"

Sasori roared, "Damn Uchiha! Is my puppetry technology meant for you to use to make these kinds of things?"

Enraged, Scorpion opened Hiruko's massive maw and unleashed a barrage of rapidly projectile venomous needles.

Hiruko: Needle Eight Waves!

Liao Wu stood there straight, without moving an inch.

A kind-hearted person behind shouted, "Young man, get out of the way! His needles are poisoned. The ninja in our town was brought down by his poisoned needles."

Liao Wu was somewhat surprised, because speaking up at this moment would undoubtedly reveal Xie's location, which would be tantamount to courting death.

In this cold world, there are always some people who can neither get better nor get worse.

They are... ordinary people!

Susanoo, Second Form!

Just when everyone thought Liao Wu would be riddled with holes by Scorpion's poisonous stinger, the spot where Liao Wu was located was suddenly covered by a black chakra giant.

Scorpion's venomous stingers were all deflected by Liao Wu's chakra giant.

Once the defense is broken, the traditional ninjutsu will be used to stop the attack.

Scorpion also practiced forbearance and did not attack Liao Wu.

Because at this moment, Sasori in Hiruko had his eyes wide open.

"What...what is this?"

The apprehensive crowd behind them stared wide-eyed.

"What...is this?!"

Liao Wu's Susanoo raised a military fan with an arc-shaped surface decorated with two pairs of iconic six-tomoe gourd patterns.

The fan handle is thick and connected to a long chain, giving it an overall simple and dignified appearance.

This is the spirit vessel of Liaowu's Susanoo—the Flame Fan.

It also has the function of a flame fan, which can release powerful wind-style ninjutsu to reflect attacks.

Liao Wu's Susanoo raised its flame fan and swung it fiercely at Sasori's position.

"Susanoo - Force 8 Gale!"

Immediately, Liao Wu's Susanoo unleashed a powerful wind blast, sending Sasori flying several hundred meters away.

Liao Wu then withdrew his Susanoo and used Body Flicker to rush towards the direction where Sasori had been blown away.

Scorpion was blasted hundreds of meters away by Liao Wu's wind escape technique, crashing into several large trees before finally stopping.

Hiruko was shattered by this powerful attack, and Sasori's true form emerged disheveled from the broken puppet fragments of Hiruko.

Unlike the ugly Hiruko, Scorpion's true form is a handsome young boy's body beneath the bloated and ferocious Hiruko.

Scorpion had neat, short red hair with bangs falling slightly across his forehead. His facial features were refined and cold, and his black eyes were sharp as cold arrows.

But this handsomeness seems to have been frozen in time.

Because Scorpion turned himself into a human puppet.

On the left side of Sasori's chest is a heart with the character "Scorpion" printed on it. That is Sasori's chakra core, also known as the regeneration core.

All of Sasori's chakra was sealed inside.

The scorpion has abandoned its human body and become a cold puppet.

When exactly did Scorpion transform himself into a human puppet?

You can tell just by looking at his appearance at this moment.

Around the age of 15, Sasori transformed himself into a human puppet.

He has maintained his youthful appearance ever since.

Liao Wu stood on a large tree, arms crossed, looking down at the scorpion whose true form had been exposed.

He looked at the shattered Hiruko behind Sasori, searching for traces of a tricycle.

No!

This proves that Sasori controlled Hiruko's movement with chakra, rather than standing up and pedaling a tricycle.

Scorpion looked up at Liao Wu, his eyes filled with seriousness: "You are definitely not an unknown person. Who exactly are you?"

Just from the previous chakra giant Sasori, I knew I'd met my match.

This is definitely not a technique that an ordinary ninja could possess.

Sasori had never heard of the Uchiha clan possessing such terrifying ninjutsu.

It's too embarrassing for me to say my own name; it's more classy to have my underling say it.

Liao Wu gestured to the candy on his left shoulder.

Candy was speechless. She spat out the lollipop in her mouth and then shouted, "Listen up, kid! My master is Uchiha Ryoubu, an SSS-rank rogue ninja who defected from Konoha!"

"The current head of the Uchiha clan, the leader of Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village), and the Uchiha Shogun of the Land of Rain!"

"If you know what's good for you, hand over your silver and ninjutsu, and my master will spare your life."

Upon hearing Candy's words, Scorpion immediately gasped.

"Uchiha Ryougo?!"

Liao Wu was somewhat surprised: "You know him?!"

Scorpion shook his head: "I don't know him!"

"Damn it, you tricked me!"

Sasori lied to Liao Wu; he had heard the name Uchiha Liao Wu before.

I've heard about Liao Wu's secret to immortality on the black market a while ago.

Scorpion quite admires Liao Wu.

Because Scorpion's philosophy is the art of eternity, he felt utterly hopeless about the fragility of life, and he regarded puppetry as "the art of eternity."

Only puppets can escape the constraints of life and death, time, and emotions.

Scorpion transformed himself into a human puppet at a young age in order to become part of "eternity" and completely escape the fragility and impermanence of life.

The art of immortality is to free oneself from aging and death, and it also belongs to the concept of eternity.

Therefore, Xie regarded Liao Wu as one of the same kind of people, and naturally remembered his name.

Later, after Sasori heard about Madara's Eye of the Moon plan on the black market, he prepared to join Madara Uchiha.

Because Madara's Eye of the Moon plan also aligns with the concept of eternity.

To join Madara Uchiha, one must naturally know Madara's location and his members.

Scorpion learned from the black market that Liao Wu was Ban's number one henchman.

Having found his group, Scorpion decided to drop the matter of Hiruko's meeting being ruined by Ryougo.

He said, "Uchiha Ryou, I acknowledge your strength, I've joined your organization, now take me to see Uchiha Madara."

"I strongly agree with his Eye of the Moon plan. We can cooperate. I can turn the corpses of powerful individuals into human puppets and preserve their abilities from when they were alive."

Liao Wu looked at Sasori, who clearly agreed with Madara's ideas, and asked with some surprise, "Even an old demon like Madara has followers?"

In this world, where there is light, there is shadow. Just as some are captivated by Hashirama Senju's love, terrorists are also made devout by Madara's terror.

Scorpion is such a terrorist.

In the original work, the Akatsuki organization consisted of a group of abstract thinkers who represented ten human dreams.

Peacemakers, artists, bombers... it's like a mixed bag, with all sorts of people.

However, not many people knew about the Eye of the Moon Plan. Before this, they all thought that Akatsuki was pursuing a policy of terror-peace—that is, using powerful ninjutsu to deter countries in the ninja world from starting wars.

Only Obito, Kisame, and the Black and White Zetsu knew about the Eye of the Moon Plan.

If everyone in Xiao knew about the Eye of the Moon Project, who would agree and who would refuse?

Liao Wu then asked Scorpion, "Scorpion, do you truly pursue eternal art?"

Scorpion nodded: "Of course, I'm a puppet now, isn't that artistic enough?"

Liao Wu looked at the scorpion's art; Liao Wu was not an artist.

The art he was exposed to in his previous life was film, but he even skipped around while watching films, which shows how vulgar he was.

Liao Wu didn't understand the art of the scorpion, but he could still recognize this type of art.

The scorpion's art style is of the Sanskrit type, which was not apparent during his lifetime.
