In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 25 Cole Gang

"And Scorpion, I haven't seen him for a long time. It's only been two years, but he's grown so big already, and he's even joined the puppet army."

The Third Kazekage touched Scorpion's head and seemed quite concerned.

Finally, his gaze turned to the only young man in the field whom he had never seen before.

"Master Kazekage, his name is Qing Shui, and he is a newcomer who entered the puppet unit with the first place in the selection this year!"

Jian Ye quietly kicked Qing Shui's calf and introduced him to the Third Kazekage.

Qing Shui had no choice but to pretend to be excited and stammered:

"Feng... Lord Fengying, my name is Qingshui, and I am eleven years old!"

"Ah, I remember."

The Third Kazekage reached out his other hand and patted Shimizu on the head, looking like a kind and approachable leader.

Those who can join the puppet corps are all puppeteers with good talents. To be ranked first in the selection is definitely an elite jonin seed, not to mention that Shimizu is still so young.

As the leader of the Sand Village, the Third Kazekage would naturally pay attention to, get close to, and cultivate these young generation geniuses.

At least as a Kazekage, he did a good job. Judging from the original work, the Sand Village's overall strength was the strongest during the period of the Third Kazekage. Not only was his own strength ranked among the top Kage-level, but the Sand Village also had the most top powerhouses during that period.

The older generation includes Chiyo and her brother, the middle generation includes Scorpion's parents, and the younger generation also includes Rasa, Karura and his wife, and Yekura.

Later, Sunagakure would decline to become the last of the five major ninja villages purely because of bad luck.

Scorpion's parents met White Fang, a powerful man who could restrain puppeteers, which directly caused the inheritance to be interrupted. As a result, Scorpion lacked love since childhood and had an abnormal brain, and he assassinated the third Kazekage.

Later, after Rasa came to power, he used political means to betray Hagura, who posed a threat to the position of Kazekage. Finally, Karuura died not long after giving birth to Gaara due to complications during labor.

Even in the end, Rasa was assassinated by Orochimaru.

If we say that the decline of Konoha during Naruto's time was caused by the death of the Fourth Hokage and his wife in battle + the inaction of the Third Hokage in his later years, then the Sand Village was really unlucky. In just over a decade, only the two old guys Chiyo and Ebizo were left to barely support it. They couldn't even find a qualified Kage, so they could only force the Jinchūriki to the position of Kage.

If it weren't for the White Fang incident, by the time Scorpion's generation grew up, the Sand Village might have been the strongest of the five major ninja villages.

It can be said that the Third Kazekage laid a very good foundation for the Sand Village, but unfortunately he encountered Konoha White Fang, and in one battle he destroyed the normal inheritance of the Sand Village.

"Kazekage-sama."

Scorpion suddenly called out to the Third Kazekage.

"Scorpion, what's wrong?"

The Third Kazekage squatted down and touched Scorpion's head.

"Is White Fang dead?"

The Sandai Kazekage couldn't help but pause and his eyes dimmed, but he forced a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, Scorpion, White Fang is very powerful and I couldn't kill him. But with the help of Ishido Jonin, he has been seriously injured by me. If there is a next time, I will definitely kill him!"

As if unwilling to see Scorpion's disappointed eyes, the Third Kazekage turned around and looked at everyone with a smile.

"As the Third Kazekage, I declare that the original A-rank mission, capturing the Uchiha, failed, but the mission was subsumed as part of the higher-level mission to ambush the White Fang. Now Hatake Sakumo has been severely injured, and even with Tsunade, he will not be able to appear on the battlefield again in a short time. Therefore, the mission was successful."

The A-level mission failed, but the S-level mission succeeded.

It can be said that Shimizu and Sasori are almost the first people in the history of the Sand Village to participate in and complete an S-level mission as a lower ninja.

The task reward received afterwards will also increase by at least double.

……

...DC world.

Gotham, the slums, the old industrial area of Gotham, an abandoned factory.

"From today on, the Cole Gang will be under my control and managed by Flash Water. Do you have any objections?"

Qingshui sat calmly on a chair, with his left hand resting on the armrest and his chin supported, looking at the thirty or so gangsters in front of him.

The two-meter-tall Black Gold was standing quietly behind him at this time, and together with the blurry mass of flesh and blood at Qingshui's feet, it formed a deterrent picture.

The blurry mass of flesh and blood was Chidi Cole, the former boss of the Cole Gang.

After a few confused glances at each other, the gang started talking.

At this moment, a bald man wearing a gold chain suddenly raised a pistol and pointed it at Qingshui.

"Now that you don't have that iron lump on your body, Mr. Watt, and I can kill you with just one pull of the trigger, it seems that I am more suitable to be the boss of the Cole Gang."

Qingshui laughed heartily.

"I like your courage. Your name is... Never mind."

Qingshui's palm, which was pressing on the handrail, quickly turned over, and a thin steel nail popped out and pierced the bald man's forehead.

If the person on the other side is someone like Deathstroke or Ninja Master, they can react easily, but this bald guy is just an ordinary human with a slightly stronger body.

"I have no interest in knowing the names of dead people."

The gangsters were trembling with fear, and they all changed their words to Qingshui:
"Meet Boss Walter!"

"Long live Boss Walter!"

"Boss Walter is mighty!"

They were shouting all sorts of things and the noise was so loud that one could tell at a glance that they were a mob.

Qingshui showed a gratified smile on his face as he watched the luck on the panel rise.

Although it is small, it is indeed increasing.

Sure enough, becoming the boss of a force can indeed increase your luck.

The next step should be to continue to expand the influence, right?
"Um... Boss Walter, there is something I want to report to you."

A thug with messy hair dyed green stretched out his hand and said to Qingshui.

"speak!"

Qingshui crossed his legs.

"Chidi Cole has a brother named Kerman Cole, who is the leader of the Two-Face Gang. Every month, our Cole Gang has to collect contributions and hand them over to the Two-Face Gang. This way, we can be protected by the Two-Face Gang and avoid trouble from other gangs and the police."

"I understand that being protected by the Two-Face Gang can keep you out of trouble with other gangs, but what does this have to do with the police?"

Qingshui asked the chicken-coop-haired man curiously.

"Hey, Boss, you must have just joined our business, so you may not know much, but the police in Gotham all make extra money. The big gangs are connected to the top of the police station. If they cooperate with the police and give them information, the police will not take the initiative to cause trouble for them, and sometimes they will even reveal some information to them."

"When the police need to make achievements, the big gangs will obediently put forward scapegoats, and they can also take the initiative to restrain and manage the small gangs under them to prevent them from causing too much chaos and embarrassing the big guys."

Qingshui nodded suddenly.

That's right, there are only so many dollars a month, why should those policemen fight the gangs to the death?
