Compiling history books is not a simple matter.

In the ninja world where chaos and disputes are constant, and each country operates independently, compiling a general history that is objective, fair, and can be widely recognized is no less difficult than for an ordinary Kage-level powerhouse to unify the entire ninja world.

First of all, a huge amount of manpower and material resources are needed to collect, organize, and verify historical materials and records scattered in various places, families, and Shinobi Villages.

This involves countless interest entanglements, historical grievances and political positions. It is almost impossible to be objective and fair.

Secondly, compiling history itself is an extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming project, and it cannot be completed without the support of strong national power and a stable environment.

In Shinobi World countries, there are indeed not many who can afford to write decent history books.

Moreover, most of those so-called history books are family histories of various families, or "glorious histories" compiled by a certain Shinobi Village in order to promote themselves. They are extremely subjective and one-sided, and cannot be said to be fair at all.

If we want to write a real history book for this chaotic and war-torn world...

"This is a very laborious thing."

Scorpion said, no emotion could be heard in his voice.

"And it's not necessarily possible."

He was testing Naruto's determination and ability, and he was also questioning the feasibility of this proposal.

If Naruto just said it casually, or just made a big picture to attract him...

Then, he Sasori of the Red Sands would rather choose death or being sealed than become a tool in the hands of others.

Sasori of the Red Sands does not feel that leaving his name in the history books is really in line with his pursuit of "Eternity".

The Eternity he pursues is the Eternity of individual existence, the immortality that fixes life and beauty in physical form.

It was recorded in books and praised by future generations... It was more of a spiritual or conceptual retention, which was not completely consistent with his original concept.

But Xie knew very well that he didn't have much choice at the moment.

Because he really felt it.

I felt it from around the room, from the shadows outside the window, even from the cracks in the floor under my feet...

There was just a hint of murderous intent coming from him.

That's not an illusion!

Someone is definitely staring at me around here, and there's more than one!

They hide themselves extremely well, and may even use some special Barrier or Secret Technique to shield their own Chakra fluctuations.

But Scorpion, as the top Puppet Master, is equally sensitive to environment and energy as Sensing.

He could feel those sights locked on his humble Puppet bird body like a scope.

Once you say the word "no"...

or show any intention to refuse or resist...

Those murderous intentions hidden in the dark will explode in an instant!

They will rush up like hungry wolves and use the most efficient and deadly method to completely destroy their fragile Puppet bird body, together with the "Core of Regeneration" inside, into pieces.

Nothing is left to chance!

This is reality.

In the face of absolute power and control, Sasori of the Red Sands, who once made Shinobi World frightened, is now just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Either surrender or die.

There is no third way.

For the scorpion who pursues "Eternity", death is the most unacceptable outcome.

Because death means the end of everything, it means that his art and his existence will be reduced to nothingness.

Therefore, the best place for him now is to work under Naruto Uzumaki.

At least, if you are alive, you still have a chance.

It is still possible to continue to pursue his art, and even to verify the possibility of another "Eternity" mentioned by Naruto.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Scorpio has made a decision.

However, he will not immediately appear compliant.

He needs to test it out again, and he also needs to fight for some conditions for himself, or in other words, retain a trace of dignity.

At this time, after hearing Xie's suspicious words, Naruto just waved his hands easily, with an expression of "That's not a big deal" on his face:

"It all depends on people!"

"As long as you want to do it, there is always a way."

His tone was full of confidence, as if things like unifying Shinobi World and compiling history books, which ordinary people thought were impossible, were only a matter of time in his eyes.

This almost arrogant self-confidence made Scorpio feel a little moved in his heart.

Maybe... this guy can actually do it?

However, Xie still wanted to test it out, so he told Shinobi World about an unsolved case.

"By the way, I killed Third Kazekage."

Third Kazekage, Sunagakure Kazekage of Strongest in history is also the hometown of Scorpion and the leader of Sunagakure.

He was also the key figure that triggered the fuse of Third Shinobi World War. It was precisely because Scorpion killed Third Kazekage that it caused internal turmoil in Sunagakure. Scorpion's Grandmother Chiyo declared war on Konoha and started Third Shinobi World War.

Looking back on those days, there were numerous talented people in every village.

Whether it's Yellow Flash, Body Flicker Shisui of Konoha or Abby Brothers of Kumogakure, Scorch Release Pakura of Sunagakure or Rasa who has the shadow of Gold Dust, Akatsuchi who is Iwagakure and Kitsuchi, Kirigakure who came out for the first time, Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

That state of vitality and all things competing is still before your eyes!

"What does it have to do with me if you kill Third Kazekage?"

Naruto looked indifferent.

Xie was slightly shocked by Naruto's attitude.

About ten seconds passed.

Puppet bird spoke again, this time the voice was more direct and crisp:

"What do you want me to do?"

Stable.

The corners of Naruto's mouth raised slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

"It's very simple."

Naruto stood up, walked to the table, picked up the Puppet bird, "I'll put you back into your body first."

"You're like this, it's hard to talk."

As he spoke, he walked towards the room Corner, where there was Scorpion's repaired body Puppet, but missing its core and some limbs.

He placed the Puppet bird in front of the chest of the body, and then skillfully opened the chest panel, revealing the empty core slot inside that was originally used to house "Core of Regeneration".

Then, he carefully disassembled the Puppet bird and took out the Core of Regeneration inside, as well as the right hand that was temporarily installed on the bird.

"After that..." Naruto relocated "Core of Regeneration" back to the core slot of the scorpion's body, and reattached his right hand, then closed the chest panel and said:

"Just ask you to research some infrastructure equipment and machines that benefit people."

"For example, the large-scale Puppet machine can quickly dig tunnels and lay tracks."

"Or the engineering Puppet array that can automatically build houses and bridges. Or the special function Puppet that can be used for Medical Ninjutsu and rescue."

"In short, it is to apply your superb Puppet technology to peace construction and people's livelihood development. This should also be a good challenge for you who are pursuing 'Eternity', right?

Use your art to create 'works' that can benefit countless people and leave a deep mark on history."

"Isn't this more meaningful than collecting people as Puppet, and is it closer to the 'Eternity' you are pursuing?"

Following Naruto's words, Sasori of the Red Sands's eyes of Puppet's body slowly opened.

Those eyes that were once empty and lifeless now glowed with sharp and deep light again.

He moved the right hand he had just received and felt the repaired body again.

Although it is still a little uncoordinated, it is much better than the simple Puppet bird just now.

He raised his head and looked at Naruto with his cold eyes.

"I haven't learned how to make those weird tricks."

He studied Puppet Technique before and after his life, and his goal has always been to pursue the ultimate killing skills and the artistic form of Eternity.

There was undisguised disgust in his tone.

Naruto laughed and didn't care about his attitude at all.

"Don't think so, Scorpio. Think about it, your Puppet is powerful because of its precision, flexibility, and ingenuity."

"What if this 'ingenuity' was applied to infrastructure?"
