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

Chapter 50 Investigation
However, Qingshui only uses this method to make up for his own shortcomings and does not rely on it to make a living. This kind of swordsmanship is enough.

"I didn't know you would also learn swordsmanship. Add to that the medical ninjutsu you learned before. If you are distracted too much, you will be surpassed by me in puppetry sooner or later."

In the training ground, Scorpion leaned against the side of the Salamander and spoke while looking at Shimizu who was practicing Suzhen on the wooden man.

"Whether it's medical ninjutsu or swordsmanship, they're just to strengthen your means of saving your life."

Shimizu put down the wooden sword and answered Scorpion.

"What you said makes some sense."

Scorpion wiped a stone beside the training ground and sat down.

"Can you be immortal just by relying on these? Isn't there a way to make people immortal and exist forever?"

The man who was wiping the sweat off his face with a cloth paused.

Could it be that this kid transformed himself into a puppet in the original time and space because of this?

Once they become puppets, the way their thinking works will definitely be different from that of normal humans. At least they have no brains and their bodies are not regulated by hormones, so human emotions will only become increasingly indifferent.

"Maybe, but there is a prerequisite."

Qingshui pretended nothing happened and said as he placed the wooden sword next to the wooden man.

"What is it?"

Scorpion asked, tilting his head.

"You have to become very strong, so strong that no one can kill you. Otherwise, even if you have an infinite lifespan, you will still be killed by someone stronger than you."

Speaking of this, Shimizu suddenly thought of Orochimaru.

That guy is very strong, but definitely not to the point where he is stronger than everyone else. However, his survivability is definitely the strongest in the Naruto world.

Scorpion was silent for a while, no one knew what he was thinking, and after a while he spoke:

"I heard that you and grandma are going to the front in two days?"

"Well, I was placed in the reserve force by Chiyo-sensei, and there is also the village's top jonin leading the team. Unless the whole army is wiped out, there is a high probability that I will not die. Of course, in order to prevent any accidents, I am now trying my best to enhance my ability to save my life."

The scorpion's eyes moved slightly, and his usually calm and indifferent expression now looked unusually complicated.

"Well, then try your best to come back alive, and don't let me wait for you."

Why doesn't this sound like a good thing?
"Okay, I'll try my best."

Qingshui actually knew that it was not easy for Scorpio to say such words.

The thing Scorpio hates most is waiting for people, because he has never waited for his parents who are "traveling far away" to come home.

It can be seen that Scorpio now really regards Qingshui as a friend.

At least, he treated her as someone different from others, someone worth waiting for.

"I've said too much. I'm afraid I've raised an unnecessary flag. Anyway, the main reason for my trip today is to say goodbye to you. Also..."

Shimizu turned and walked towards the ninja tool bag hanging on the railing and took out a photo from it.

"I want you to help me investigate this woman."

Shimizu handed the photo to Scorpion, and the person on it was Reina from the medical team.

"This woman is pretty and seems gentle. So, do you want to pursue her? But the age gap is a bit big, isn't it?" Scorpion looked at the photo of a blonde woman wearing glasses and with a gentle smile, and asked Qingshui curiously.

Perhaps because he lost both his parents at a young age, he had a good first impression of the woman in the photo whose smile was full of maternal radiance.

"No, I feel like there's something wrong with this woman."

Qingshui shook his head.

"You suspect she's a spy sent by another village? Then why not just tell grandma and let her investigate? Or... I see, she's already won grandma's trust and has a certain status in the village, so it's not easy to investigate openly?"

A look of realization appeared on Scorpion's face.

"Why don't you ask me why I doubt her?"

"I believe you because you are the only one of your age who I don't think is too stupid."

Scorpion said with a serious expression.

"Then thank you for the compliment."

Qingshui was speechless.

"You're welcome."

Shimizu: …

"I'd better tell you. Although it's inconvenient to investigate openly, I still took this opportunity to do some simple research in private. This woman's parents both moved from the border area of the Wind Country to the Sand Village during the time of the Second Kazekage. Neither of them was a ninja. Her father was a doctor. Both of them died a year ago."

"Before a year ago, she was just a mediocre Genin. It was not until a year ago that she accumulated enough military merits and learned high-level ninjutsu to become a Chunin. In this medical class training, she showed a learning ability far beyond that of other medical ninjas. Maybe she is really mediocre in other ninjutsu, but very talented in medical ninjutsu."

"But I suspect that she learned medical ninjutsu from another ninja village."

Scorpion said:

"You mean Konoha?"

Qingshui nodded and continued:
"Yes, it seems you have guessed it. Only the medical ninjutsu foundation of Konoha and Sunagakure can train such medical ninjas. However, the village's training of medical ninjas was only put on the agenda after Princess Tsunade reversed the situation in the Rain Country battlefield last year. It was not until this year that the training plan for the medical class was completed."

"Konoha's medical system was established earlier than Sunagakure, and to establish a complete system, sufficient professional talents are needed. Although Konoha had not established a medical system before that, with Tsunade's status and reputation in Konoha, it was not difficult to try to train a group of initial talents. She is fully capable of training an excellent medical ninja."

Scorpion lowered his head slightly and asked:

"Do you think... Konoha would be crazy enough to send out an excellent and rare medical ninja as a spy?"

You'll have to ask those two idiots, Danzo and the Third Hokage.

"It is precisely because no one will believe that she has a chance, right? And you must be very clear about the benefits of doing so. If there really is a Konoha ninja who has become a senior member of the medical team, it is enough to assassinate the village's ninjas silently under the pretext of 'treatment failure' and pass on a series of intelligence. Isn't this worthy of vigilance?"

Scorpion pursed his lips.

"I see. You are about to leave for the front line and cannot continue to investigate in the village. So do you need someone with enough ability to help you continue the investigation and uncover the true identity of this woman?"

"So please, Scorpion."

Qingshui patted Scorpion's shoulder and warned him.

Even if Scorpio's secret investigation is discovered, it will not have any impact on Scorpio.

He is the grandson of Elder Chiyo after all.
