Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 114 The Art of Two

Scorpion had been preparing to modify the puppet for a long time, but he was only just getting around to it.

Moreover, the technology of "puppet core" is already mature.

Sasori also knew that his current state was far from enough to demonstrate a powerful level in the Third Shinobi World War.

A moment later, Yubi arrived at Scorpion's doorstep.

Scorpion's public statement is that he is conducting puppet research and that no one is allowed to interfere.

This naturally includes Chiyo.

To this end, Scorpion also installed some dangerous traps near his dwelling.

Apart from Yubi, no one else is allowed to approach this place.

The windows were sealed shut, and the doors were also tightly closed.

Yubi knocked on the door.

"Enter."

The sound of a scorpion came from inside the house.

Yubi pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as I entered, I found Scorpion sitting cross-legged on the ground, wearing a long robe, repairing a puppet part with tools in his hand. The room was dimly lit and filled with various works of art he had collected, as well as sealing scrolls spread on the floor.

These are Scorpion's arsenal.

Over the years, Scorpion has collected a lot of material.

"It's already—finished?" Yubi asked in surprise.

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Scorpion, who was manipulating tools, and at the few fingers peeking out from under his clothes.

Sure enough—it was no longer flesh and skin, but puppet parts.

"It hasn't completely replaced the physical body; it's only partially filled in."

Scorpion responded, then paused his movements and proactively extended the entire foreign arm for Yubi to see, his tone somewhat proud, "How is it? Not bad, right—"

He was clearly very proud of his skills.

"Is the flexibility and precision of control acceptable?"

Yubi smiled slightly and sat down next to him.

"Still practicing—but don't worry, everything will be fine before the war arrives," Scorpion replied.

He thought Yubi was worried that his combat strength would not meet expectations after the outbreak of war.

Judging from his technique of repairing the puppet parts, he had become so adept at using the puppet prosthetic limbs that they were no different from his previous flesh and blood limbs.

What Scorpion needs to do now is to become as familiar with and develop this puppet body as possible, and improve his ability to control the puppet.

Many of his ideas, now free from the constraints of a physical body, could be fully put into practice in real combat—leading him to develop even more secret techniques and profound mysteries.

The most obvious point is that the number of puppets he controls will increase dramatically.

Moreover, because the size and number of objects he can control have increased, he can no longer control a single puppet, but rather a vast sea of ​​mechanisms composed of individual parts. In other words, the changes in puppetry will reach an even more unbelievable level.

"I'm not here to check on your progress—I just want to make sure you're in good health and everything's alright," Yubi said.

Are you doubting my skills—or are you lacking confidence in your own abilities?

Scorpion continued repairing the parts, saying indifferently.

Scorpion uses puppet parts to replace parts of his physical body, and to ensure proper procedures, some of the surgeries are performed by Yubi himself.

But the most crucial part, the "core," was created by the scorpion itself.

Yubi will still need to help with the subsequent surgeries involving flesh replacement.

Transforming the entire body into a puppet is a very intricate and complex project, and it would take a considerable amount of time.

Sasori could do it himself, after all, he could be considered a half-medical ninja. Apart from not knowing medical ninjutsu, his research on body structure and his knowledge of medicine were at a good level.

But Yubi was somewhat uneasy.

"Ha ha."

Upon hearing this, Yubi laughed heartily.

Looking at the room full of human puppets, I felt a little strange.

"The scorpion has long desired to shed the shackles of the physical body."

In his eyes, this is his highest pursuit of being true to his own art, and also the embodiment of his technical achievements.

But to outsiders, it might seem a bit frightening—

The technology of creating human puppets is inherently somewhat inhumane, not to mention that he also transformed his own body into a puppet.

Especially since Granny Chiyo is currently unaware of all this, when she sees Sasori again, she will inevitably discover that her grandson is no longer human.

They will probably find it hard to accept, and it will be very painful for them emotionally.

But in a way, Scorpion himself is happy.

"Scorpion—I mean, if one day I could resurrect your parents—what would you do?" Yubi suddenly asked.

Click.

The scorpion stopped what it was doing, and the puppet parts it was repairing made a rattling sound.

He turned to look at Yubi without saying a word.

"Don't get me wrong—I'm not talking about forbidden techniques, but purely about bringing them back to life in a life dimension," Yubi explained.

"You mean—my art is inferior to your art?"

Sasori's gaze turned cold. "While what you've created has indeed improved the village and given many people a new understanding of your abilities as a medical ninja, elevating medicine to a new level, don't forget that in our contests, you've always lost more than you've won."

"Your medical artistry—I acknowledge it."

"But that doesn't mean your art has surpassed mine."

"I will also redefine the art of the puppeteer."

"...

'

Yubi's lips twitched. "Never mind."

"Scorpion's Puppet Core" can indeed be popularized among the puppeteers in the village.

The problem is that to activate this technology, one must have the same level of skill as him.

For the village's puppeteers, this was an impossible task—

Not to mention, besides Sasori, probably no one else could turn themselves into a puppet.

It challenges conventional thinking.

What Scorpion can currently share with the village are his ideas for designing and creating various puppets and mechanisms, as well as some of his manipulation skills—these are things that ordinary puppeteers can absorb and cultivate.

As for the others, not only are they too advanced, but they also have extremely high requirements for the puppeteer's talent.

"I'm leaving now—I'll come back in a couple of days when I have some free time."

After chatting for a while longer, Yubi got up and left.

He is currently unable to use the system's abilities to enhance Scorpion's art.

All we can do is offer some medical assistance.

"Let's get through this Shinobi World War first—"

Walking down the street, watching the crowds coming and going, Yubi thought to himself.

At this time, the streets of Sunagakure were crowded with people, many of whom were unfamiliar faces—some Sunagakure villagers or passersby greeted Yubi warmly.

It has a strong sense of everyday life and a touch of prosperity.

It swept away the gloomy atmosphere that the village had been shrouded in for many years due to war and a series of other events.

Everyone had a genuine smile on their face.

This made Yubi feel that all his efforts had not been in vain.
