Ever since the completion of the puppet artificial limbs technology, the nickname of the scorpion had changed from the genius puppeteer Red Sand Scorpion to the genius puppet stylist. The village also paid more attention to the scorpion.
Not only would he satisfy all of Scorpion's needs, but he would also make an exception and promote Scorpion to become the youngest consultant in the village to participate in the village's affairs.
However, Scorpion was not interested in the village's invitation. Ever since Kotaro's death, Scorpion had become even more reclusive, and his entire body was emitting a thick dark aura.
No one was willing to get close to him, and only Granny Chiyo could talk to him. Scorpion locked himself in the warehouse all day, studying puppetry, and did not care about anything in the outside world.
The village had expected Scorpion's rejection and did not mind. After all, everyone knew Scorpion's temperament very well. Moreover, most of the higher-ups in the council did not agree to let a brat who was still wet behind the ears join. They only reluctantly agreed because they could not ignore Scorpion's achievements.
It would be best if he rejected it now, but Scorpion's contribution was too great to not be rewarded. Therefore, 3rd Generation Windshade and the other higher-ups decided; He promised to satisfy all of Scorpion's research needs, but Scorpion had to contribute all of his research results to the village.
Scorpion agreed to the village's request and immediately made his first request to the village. However, this request made the village feel awkward because Scorpion's request was: Corpses, ninja corpses, the more the better. The reason was that he wanted to develop a new puppet technique.
First of all, the corpses of the ninjas in the village could not be given to Scorpion for research. They could only start with the ninjas from other villages. The ninja's body hid information about ninjutsu. Usually, in order to prevent the ninjutsu from being leaked, the ninja village would send a special 'corpse disposal team' to retrieve the ninja corpses of the village.
There was also an unspoken rule in the Ninja Realm that no one was allowed to spy on the ninja techniques of other villages. Otherwise, they would be besieged by all the ninjas. Ninja villages would also abide by such traditional rules on the surface.
Of course, this was only the surface. In reality, the Ninja villages were spying on each other for the sake of the village's strength. In order to obtain the other party's powerful ninjutsu, they used all kinds of methods, such as stealing, coercion, and bribery.
Therefore, it was not too difficult to get a few ninja corpses from other countries. What really troubled the higher-ups was the number of bodies Scorpion requested. It was easy to say," the more, the better!" Stealing ninja corpses from other countries was already pushing the boundaries. If they went too far and caused public outrage, the consequences would be unimaginable.?
However, thinking of the benefits that Scorpion had brought to the village through the development of new technologies, it was foreseeable that this time would not be an exception. Although Scorpion had many problems with his personality, no one would doubt his talent in puppeteering.
After a long discussion, the higher-ups of the village decided to agree to Scorpion's request, but the number of corpses could not be too large. The village had to examine the corpses before handing them over to Scorpion.
Scorpion agreed, but not less than ten at a time, and the corpses had to be kept as intact as possible.
After the agreement was reached, the village secretly sent a 'corpse collection team' to collect ninja corpses from other villages.
It was currently the third War of the Ninja Realm, and many corpses were being produced on various battlefields every day. The nearest battlefield was the one between Sharen and Muye. If they went there to collect too many corpses of Muye Ninjas, Muye would definitely suspect that Sharen was the one who did it.
At that time, if Muye spread the news that Sha Ren had stolen the corpse, it would definitely bring disaster to the village.
Therefore, the team's target was the battlefield between the other village and Muye. In order not to be discovered, they deliberately disguised themselves and took away all the things related to Sharen Village. This way, even if the theft of the corpse was discovered, it would not be easily suspected to be Sharen Village.
Just like that, the team roamed the battlefields and stole more than a hundred ninja corpses for Scorpion. Not only were there the corpses of the Leaf Ninjas, but there were even more corpses from the other three countries.
Although the ninjas on the various battlefields had more or less noticed the lack of corpses, they did not pay much attention to it. After all, the battlefield was too chaotic. No one cared too much about a few missing people.
However, all of this had already fallen into the eyes of a mysterious force. They were the elite intelligence team of Muye Dark Group. They had infiltrated Shayin Village to collect information on Sha Ren's Red Sand Scorpion.
However, not long after they entered Shayin Village, they discovered this strange team. They followed them to a remote but heavily guarded warehouse and left.
Thus, the Root Squad split into two groups. One group stayed behind to continue collecting information, while the other group followed the mysterious team to see what mission they were carrying out. With the abilities of the elite ninjas of the Dark Group, it was easy for them to follow the corpse collection team for a few days without being discovered.
As a result, Sha Yin's theft of ninja corpses from various countries was discovered by the Root Squad. They gathered the information from the other Root Squad and sent it back to Mu Ye. Soon, Mu Ye had evidence of Sha Yin stealing ninja corpses from various Ninja villages.
Just as Mu Ye was collecting evidence of Sharen stealing the corpses and preparing to deal a fatal blow to Sharen, Scorpion was sorting out the newly sent corpses. Including the previous corpses, there were more than a hundred corpses. Scorpion's purpose of collecting corpses was to research a new puppet technique, which Scorpion named the human puppet technique.
This was the inspiration he had obtained from researching the puppet's prosthetic limbs. If he could succeed, Scorpion's puppet technique would definitely reach a higher level. Thinking of this, Scorpion's indifferent state of mind, which regarded everything as shit, suddenly became heated. However, Scorpion did not expect that a huge crisis was about to arrive.
