A trace of determination flashed in Scorpion's eyes.
Gently and with an extremely clever technique, he opened the latch of the window, and then silently pushed the window open to a gap just large enough for him to pass through.
But he didn't jump out of the window immediately.
That target would be too big and too easy to detect.
As Puppet Master, he has a better way.
I saw Xie retreating to the center of the room, then he squatted down, stretched out his hands, and started to disassemble his body!
Click... click...
A slight but rapid sound of disassembly was heard.
He first removed his legs from the knee joints.
The two legs made of special wood and metal were easily held in his hands.
Then, he sat on the ground and raised his left arm.
His left arm was also severely damaged in the previous battle. At this moment, only a basic skeleton and a few remaining mechanisms are left, including an extremely sharp short knife mechanism hidden on the inside of the forearm.
After sitting on the ground, Scorpion removed everything from his chest down.
Scorpion used this Puppet body as material and the knife mechanism on his left arm as a tool, and began a dazzling operation!
His fingers were extremely nimble, as if they were playing a silent movement.
Dismantling, cutting, splicing, assembling...
It only took less than two minutes!
A "Simple Puppet Bird" transformed from his parts, which has a simple structure but is extremely delicate and practical, appeared in his hands.
The wingspan of this Puppet bird is about half a meter long, and there is an obvious slot-like structure in the center of its body.
Scorpion gently placed the Puppet bird on the ground.
Then he also removed his Left Hand.
The Left Hand, which still maintains flexibility and complete functions, is carefully installed in the card slot on the chest of the Puppet bird, just like installing a plug-in.
This is so that after you successfully escape and find a safe place, you can immediately use this right hand as a core tool to start building a new, more powerful Puppet body.
Preparations are almost complete.
The last and most critical step.
Xie once again carefully sensed the situation around the office.
After confirming that no one is hiding.
He reached out his hand, reached into his chest, and took out the "Core of Regeneration" that stored all his consciousness and soul and was the basis of his existence as "Sasori of the Red Sands".
Scorpion carefully placed this "Core of Regeneration" like the most precious gem in a temporary, simple but stable enough protection groove inside the body of Simple Puppet Bird.
After doing all this.
The scorpion [Puppet bird] controlled this new, simple body and vibrated its wings slightly.
Buzz...
The wings make a slight sound like the flapping of insect wings.
It adjusted its posture on the ground, then aimed at the open window, preparing to take off and escape from this place!
Freedom is close at hand!
However, at the moment when the Puppet bird had just flown out of the window and was about to merge into the dim light of the evening outside.
A hand suddenly stretched out from the shadow on the side of the window.
The movement of this hand was as fast as lightning, but it was as precise as if it had already been calculated. It was impartial and gently and deftly grabbed the Puppet bird's slender body.
"The craftsmanship is pretty good."
A familiar and somewhat appreciative voice sounded next to the Puppet bird.
"You can use limited materials to make such an exquisite Flying Puppet Bird so quickly."
Naruto Uzumaki slowly walked out from the shadows by the window, with a faint smile on his face, and his right hand was holding the Puppet bird that was still struggling in vain, trying to break free.
When Sensing to Chakra from Sasori of the Red Sands started to move and approached towards the window in a strange, small life-like manner, Naruto instantly understood the scorpion's plan.
He immediately teleported to the vicinity of Raikage's Office and then, like an experienced hunter, waited quietly.
Sure enough, I found this bird that had "fallen into a trap".
Naruto even took the time to take a closer look at the Puppet bird in his hand, which was improvised from scorpion legs and arm parts.
Although the materials used are simple and the appearance is far from beautiful, its exquisite structure, clever joint connections, and preliminary construction of the Chakra transmission path all show the maker's extremely superb Puppet skills and adaptability under extreme conditions.
This makes Naruto's evaluation of Scorpio's "talent" rise to another level.
After being caught red-handed, the "Core of Regeneration" in the Puppet bird's body seemed to have stopped struggling.
After a moment of silence, a muffled voice with obvious displeasure and a hint of frustration came out through the simple sound-producing device inside the Puppet bird:
"Humph."
"It's just a shoddy Puppet bird."
"It's far from my artwork."
Even in this situation where he was caught and his plan failed, Sasori of the Red Sands still did not forget to safeguard his "artistic" dignity, and first made a habitual retort.
Then, his tone became deeper and more alert:
"What are you going to do?"
"Kill me? Or seal me away?"
He knew very well that his current state was like a piece of meat on the chopping board, and his life and death depended entirely on the other person's thoughts.
However, Naruto's answer exceeded his expectation.
Naruto did not answer his question directly, but pinched the Puppet bird, turned around and walked back into the room.
He placed the Puppet bird on the table in the center of the room, pulled up a chair, sat down, and looked level with the "scorpion" on the table.
"Konoha needs talents like you."
Naruto Gate of Opening is straight to the point, with a calm tone but an unquestionable seriousness.
"I know that the art you pursue is the art of 'Eternity'."
"So what?"
Naruto continued:
"So, are you interested in leaving your name in the history books?"
"Not as a Rogue Ninja or a terrorist, but as a great artist and engineer who created New Era Puppet technology and promoted the development of Shinobi World, will he be remembered forever by future generations?"
"Your art, your works, your name... will all become part of history and be studied, studied and praised by countless people."
"Isn't this another form of 'Eternity'?"
Leave your name in the history books?!
To be remembered as an artist and engineer?!
This is a path he never imagined!
He pursued Eternity all his life, and for this reason he did not hesitate to transform himself into Puppet, and even indulged in turning others into "Eternity" collectibles.
But his vision is always limited to the individual "Eternity".
I never thought... by influencing the world and changing history, I would achieve another level of immortality!
This idea is very tempting for people with average brain circuits, especially for an artist who pursues "Eternity".
If his technology, his ideas, and his name can be written into history and passed down from generation to generation...
It is indeed a conceptual Eternity that transcends individual existence!
But...
Scorpios are not people who are easily bewitched.
"Are you planning to write a history book?"
There was obvious surprise and a hint of doubt in Xie's voice.
