ninja puppet master

Chapter 6 The Death of the Bug
As the saying goes, it is good to wear thousands of clothes and flatter ones but not to wear them.

No matter where they are, after all, there are only a few people who like honest words and harsh words. For the vast majority of people, they still like to hear words of praise.

What's more, Shi Lei's current identity is just a child, and the flattery he shoots is more convincing, more real, and more irresistible.

Even for a person like Chiyo who has been in a high position for a long time, it is the same.

After hearing Shi Lei's words, she was startled for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

"A flower that never fades? Your mother really thinks highly of me, an old woman, but it's a pity... oh..."

In the middle of speaking, she suddenly sighed, looking at Shi Lei with regret again.

"Li, you can't go back to your home for the time being. Before the house is repaired, you can stay with me first, so that I can teach you medical ninjutsu."

"Yes, thank you, Teacher Chiyo, for causing you trouble!"

Of course, Shi Lei would not refuse Chiyo's kindness, after all his home was destroyed when Yiwei ran away, and now he is lacking a place to stay.

Seeing that Shi Lei was so "sensible", Chiyo liked him more and more, and reached out to pat his head again.

"What a good boy, then let's go back together now..."

"boom!"

Before Chiyo could finish speaking, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a medical ninja in a white coat walked in with a panicked expression.

"Master Chiyo, it's not good, Xiao Chong... Xiao Chong has been poisoned!"

"What? Take me there!"

Hearing the other party's words, Chiyo was startled and couldn't care less about Shi Lei, and immediately left in a hurry with the medical ninja who came in.

Seeing the two people walking out of the ward, Shi Lei thought for a while, then jumped off the bed and followed Chiyo who had just left.

After passing two corners, Chiyo and the medical ninja walked into the emergency room and closed the door of the emergency room.

At this time, there was already a person standing outside the emergency room. It was a red-haired boy wearing sand hidden forehead protection, who looked about fourteen or five years old, with an indifferent face.

After seeing this young man, Shi Lei instinctively glanced at his information——

【Name: Scorpion】

【Level: 39】

【HP: 523/524】

[MP: 703/803]

【Specialty: Puppet, Poison】

[Battle Evaluation: A-]

After reading the opponent's data, Shi Lei's face suddenly flashed with surprise, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"As expected of the famous Red Sand Scorpion, his level reached 39 when he was a teenager, and his combat power evaluation also reached A-. This is already close to the data of Jonin. Scorpion... is a genius!"

Sensing Shi Lei's gaze, Xie also turned his head, stared at him indifferently and asked, "Who are you?"

"Uh……"

Facing Xie's question, Shi Lei regained consciousness in an instant, and quickly bowed his head to salute him.

"Master Xie, my name is Li, and I will learn medical ninjutsu from Sensei Chiyo from today, please take care of me in the future!"

"..."

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Xie didn't make any response, but turned his head to look at the door of the emergency room, and stopped talking.

For Xie's indifferent attitude, Shi Lei was not surprised, on the contrary, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, he didn't think about it. It's a blessing among misfortunes. This guy can even make a puppet for his friends. What is the name of that unlucky guy? It seems to be..."

"Bug!"

A panicked cry interrupted Shi Lei's thoughts, he turned his head and saw a woman in a light yellow dress stumbling over.

She ran straight to Xie's side, grabbed Xie's clothes, showing panic.

"Little worm...my little worm...my little worm, is he okay? Please...please tell me! Please!"

"..."

Xie didn't answer, and still looked indifferently at the door of the emergency room.

Soon, the door of the emergency room opened with a "wow", and the medical ninja from before walked out with a sad face.

"You...you can go in!"

Hearing his words, the eyes of the woman holding onto Scorpion's clothes lit up, and a gleam of joy flashed across her face.

"Little worm... is my little worm all right? That's great!"

As she spoke, she immediately loosened Xie's clothes and walked quickly into the emergency room.

Then, a shrill cry came from the emergency room.

"No... bug!"

Hearing this shout, Shi Lei only felt chills in his heart.

He remembered that in the original Naruto plot, the first human puppet made of corpses was Xiao Chong!

Because Xiao Chong often said in front of Scorpion, "I want to be a praised ninja, just like your puppet", or "I really want to become a ninja as powerful as your puppet sooner."

For this reason, once Xiao Chong lost his right arm during a mission, Scorpion installed a puppet arm for him.

Moreover, he also tampered with the puppet's arm, causing the bug to be injured by the poison smeared on the puppet's arm, and finally died.

After Xiao Chong died, Scorpion made his corpse into a human puppet, fulfilling his "commission".

"This guy Xie... has been completely twisted, what a scary guy!"

Thinking of this, Shi Lei lowered his head again, fearing that his expression would be seen by Xie, which would arouse his suspicion.

Fortunately, Xie ignored him and walked into the emergency room with a calm expression.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up towards the emergency room.

I saw the woman from before, that is, Xiao Chong's mother, kneeling in front of Xie at this moment, clutching his trouser legs, begging him with tears all over her face.

"Please heal him...please heal him...please...his right arm was pretended by you, then the left arm...leg...body...soul can also be healed... ...please cure my bug...give him back to me... woo woo woo woo..."

Obviously, the loss of her beloved son had broken this woman down.

But Xie still had no expression on his face, he just looked at Xiao Chong on the hospital bed indifferently.

To be precise, he looked at the corpse of Xiao Chong whose face was covered with a white cloth, neither sad nor happy.

But the woman crying in front of him didn't change his face, as if the one crying in front of him was not a person, but a dead thing that couldn't speak or move.

This kind of performance is really chilling.

"Scorpion is a monster, it's not suitable to stay here for long!"

Thinking of this, Shi Lei didn't stay any longer, while Xie didn't notice him, he immediately slipped back to his ward, and closed the door carefully.

After closing the door, he sat back on his hospital bed and thought while resting his chin.

"Scorpion is too dangerous. Living with him is like dancing with wolves. If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to reject Chiyo. But what kind of excuse should I use?"
