Sasori's parents

Scorpion cursed under his breath, then sent a command directly from his heart to dislocate his elbow joints, leaving both arms in the sand. He then leaped backward.

In an instant, he broke free from the "Sand Binding Prison" used by Gaara.

However, Gaara didn't care; losing both of his arms was already a significant weakening of his opponent.

How can Puppet Master control Puppets without hands?

Gaara lowered his hands, and then the Sand Binding Prison pulled Sasori's two arms into the ground.

Like the Third Kazekage, it was shattered in the Sand Sea.

"Lord Kazekage, wait a minute!"

At that moment, Chiyo arrived.

She called out to Gaara, panting, then looked at Sasori with tenderness and worry in her eyes.

His complex gaze conveyed a mix of emotions.

"Scorpion..."

She opened her mouth slightly and uttered a single word in a hoarse voice.

Scorpion chuckled and turned to look at Chiyo, the old baby, who was rushing over from behind.

"Grandmother, it's been a long time."

"Sigh... Scorpion, all these years you..."

Chiyo wore a smile, but tears welled up in her eyes.

However, at that moment, Scorpion suddenly attacked Chiyo!

Even without his hands, all his other joints are weapons!

That's what makes Human Puppet so powerful.

It defies common sense.

He extended two long swords directly from his shoulders and stabbed at Chiyo.

"Clang--"

Gaara's Shukaku Shield intervened just in time to stop Chiyo.

The scorpion's attack failed once again.

A faint smile still lingered on Scorpion's lips.

He never imagined he could hurt Chiyo.

Especially since Gaara was still there, while he was already at his wit's end.

"Scorpion... why...?"

Grandmother Chiyo, realizing what was happening, trembled slightly.

She never imagined that a child like Scorpion would choose to assassinate her!

She is Scorpion's grandmother.

How did you become like this?

Scorpion didn't answer her question. Instead, he stepped forward and approached Grandmother Chiyo.

"Grandma, didn't you think that white-haired Ninja looked familiar?"

"You mean Kakashi Hatake, right? He's Hatake Sakumo's son, not Hatake Sakumo."

The moment Chiyo saw Kakashi carrying Might Guy, she immediately thought of Hatake Sakumo, also known as the Konoha White Fang.

Fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up, and it was discovered that the other party was Hatake Sakumo's son, Kakashi Hatake, not Hatake Sakumo himself.

Hatake Sakumo once killed Sasori's parents.

At that time Sunagakure and Konoha Village were enemies.

Now they have become allies.

Even after learning that Kakashi and Might Guy had come to help Sunagakure and Kazekage, Gaara Kazekage, Chiyo still treated Might Guy.

"Grandmother, you're already this old. Would you like me to transform you into Human Puppet? That way, you can become Eternal Art!"

Scorpion watched as Chiyo's lips curled into a smile.

Chiyo shook her head. "Nothing is permanent. Even Puppets will eventually break down."

"I am different, I am now eternal! Look at my appearance, it is still the same as when I transformed myself into Human Puppet! Nothing about me has changed, this is Eternal Art!"

Gaara silently watched the two of them from the side.

He held one hand, ready to attack the scorpion at any moment.

He didn't believe that Sasori would necessarily change his ways and abandon his artistic pursuits after meeting Chiyo.

Since his parents died, Scorpion has changed completely. He wants eternal beauty, not fleeting beauty.

So he turned his parents into Puppets as well.

He hugs himself with his parents' Puppets every day, as if his parents have never left and are still by his side.

"Scorpion, stop doing this. Come back. I miss you so much. Your parents are still alive."

As she spoke, Chiyo summoned Sasori's parents, two Puppets.

When Scorpion saw his parents, his expression froze.

"Grandmother, you..."

"Come back, child."

Chiyo controlled Sasori's parents, who opened their arms wide, and the Puppets seemed to have smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, Scorpion could no longer restrain himself and charged straight at Chiyo.

As he approached Chiyo, the sword at his shoulder extended and thrust towards Chiyo.

"Go to hell, Grandmother."

He said in a low voice.

"Sand Binding Prison."

However, Gaara, who had been watching closely, was preventing this situation from occurring.

Therefore, the moment Sasori moved, Gaara had already begun manipulating the sand.

Even as the gleaming blade was extended, he used the sand beneath the scorpion's feet to bury and encase it!

"Bang bang--"

The scorpion, instantly encased in sand, tried to break free using its swords and legs, but to no avail.

"Grandmother Chiyo, you should go back now."

Gaara spoke calmly to Chiyo.

The meaning behind his words was clear: Gaara didn't want her to see him kill her grandson here.

Chiyo hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Lord Kazekage, I have a small request, but I don't know if I should say it."

"You say."

"I want to kill Scorpion with my own hands... no," she shook her head, her gaze turning earnestly to the sand enveloping Scorpion, "Let Scorpion's parents pull him back to the right path."

Gaara paused for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, I'll kill him."

Gaara remained silent.

However, he neither refused nor tried to dissuade her, clearly telling Chiyo that Sasori must die today, but since she wanted to kill him herself, he would agree.

"Thank you, Lord Kazekage."

Grandmother Chiyo's gentle gaze instantly shifted.

"Scorpion, you brat, it's our fault for not teaching you well."

As she spoke, Chiyo moved her Chiyo fingers rapidly, causing the Chakra Threads to sway.

The signal was transmitted to the two Human Puppet of the scorpion parents.

The parents, who had opened their arms in a hug, instantly produced long knives from their arms, one for each of them.

It pierced towards Gaara's Sand Binding Prison Ninjutsu with incredible speed!

The Puppets floated up and made a very loud spring-like sound. The scorpion, who was covered in sand, easily recognized it as the Puppets of his parents that he had made before.

The voice was all too familiar to him; it was the voice he heard every day before he assassinated the Third Hokage the village and left.

Hearing his parents running towards him, Scorpion smiled.

He stopped trying to break free from the surrounding sand.

As Gaara saw the Puppets's sword about to pierce the sand, he slightly raised his hand, loosening the tightly locked Sand Binding Prison.

"Puff--"

In an instant, Scorpion's parents each pierced his heart with a knife!

"..."

With a faint smile on his lips, Scorpion subtly shifted his body, allowing the special Human Puppet's heart to be completely pierced through!

Let our family of three stay in this moment forever.

The moment the Human Puppet's heart stopped beating, Scorpion's gaze dimmed, and he became completely still.
