Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 696 The Arrival of the Sand Ninja Star

"Colonel Roy."

The two Edward brothers stood in front of the desk and spoke to the man in front of them.

"Destroying a village, leaving no survivors, and even the murderer you're talking about is dead. I find it hard to believe you've accomplished your mission." Roy spoke with a dismissive attitude, not even raising his eyes.

"Damn it, we've already completed our mission!! Say whatever you want!!"

Edward slammed his hands on the table and roared at Roy.

Roy then turned around, crossed his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I need your crucial evidence. This case cannot be closed just because of your few words."

"Also, who exactly is the person you brought back?"

Edward and Alphonse looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Didn't we already say? Travelers from abroad."

They dared not reveal the matter of Scorpion; the other party's identity was, in a sense, too shocking.

Moreover, the other side is not to be trifled with; if these officers do anything wrong...

Then it might be irreversible.

"Abroad?" Roy glanced at the two brothers sideways. "You have absolutely no idea which country they came from, why they came here, when, or with whom."

"Besides, the place you went to is far from the border, and I haven't found any records of people from other countries coming in recently."

These two brothers were no ordinary people; after all, they were people who had opened the door to truth, and this person who suddenly appeared beside them was no ordinary person.

Naturally, it will also be investigated.

"Or, he might be the murderer."

Roy looked at the two brothers with a gloomy expression.

"Absolutely not!!" Alphonse declared emphatically. "He was just a traveler from another country that we encountered."

Edward nodded vigorously.

Although to some extent, Scorpion is indeed the murderer.

However, when the killer possesses the means to destroy everything, they are powerless to stop him.

He absolutely cannot be.

Roy noticed Edward's unnatural expression and suddenly laughed.

"I believe in you."

This finally put the Edward brothers at ease; if they had continued, they really wouldn't have known how to explain it.

"Alright, you can rest for a while now." Roy dismissed the two brothers.

Edward and Alphonse then left the office.

When the two brothers had completely disappeared.

"They've been hiding a lot of things," Lisa Hawkeye said.

"I know," Roy nodded.

Flipping through the files on the table, there was a report by Scorpion.

However, the information on it is pitifully scarce.

"But I don't understand what this person's purpose is in getting close to those two brothers?" Roy looked at the report and fell into deep thought.

The scorpion that Roy was pondering is now in the National Library.

The blue lines on its body are constantly taking books from the library.

The library staff acted as if they didn't see him and continued tidying up as if nothing had happened.

Many readers completely ignored the flying book and the strange scorpion.

The reason these people have become like this is entirely due to the tiny black worms in their minds.

The scorpion used this insect to control the entire library.

Even though Edward and his brother sometimes went into the library, they never discovered Scorpion's presence.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Scorpion then read all the books in the entire library.

He closed his eyes and was organizing the knowledge in his mind.

"Less useful than imagined."

Of this knowledge, only 10% is truly related to alchemy; the remaining 90% is various related knowledge.

Alchemy arrays are supplementary; the real importance lies in the construction of various kinds of knowledge.

But the scorpion already possessed this knowledge.

"Alchemy is no longer a secret to me."

What remains is the Gate of Truth.

"The alchemy of this world comes from the Gate of Truth. To fully master alchemy, one must go inside."

The scorpion seemed to be deep in thought.

Although he had already mastered alchemy.

But I can't do what Edward does, where he can master it by simply clapping his hands together.

"Edward must have entered the Gate of Truth."

The scorpion seemed to be deep in thought.

"But the time has come."

The time has come for Sunagakure to enter this planet.

He took out a stone from his pocket. The stone shimmered with a blue light and slowly formed a portal in front of him.

When the blue door opened, Scorpion walked in.

Stepping outside, I saw Luo Sha, whose face was ashen.

"Hey, Scorpion, didn't you say you needed three months to prepare?"

Luo Sha asked in a deep voice.

Why did this guy go in first?

"I'm making preparations." Scorpion glanced coldly at Rasa.

"Your preparation is that you go in first by yourself?"

Luo Sha saw Scorpion walk out of that teleportation device with his own eyes.

"You've been talking too much nonsense, Rasa."

Scorpion didn't intend to answer Rasa's question any further, and instead looked past Rasa to look behind him.

Luo Sha's face was ashen.

The total number of people is thirty.

These people are the elite of the entire Sunagakure planet, consisting of both puppet Newtypes and normal humans.

Gaara and his two companions were among them.

"So what did you gain from going in?" Luo Sha asked in a deep voice.

At the very least, we need to know what the Sand Ninja can gain.

"There is no natural energy, but there is a peculiar technology, and there is indeed a source, but that source has no intention of interfering."

Scorpion already has a deep understanding of that world.

He guessed that the powerful being from the source must be inextricably linked to the Gate of Truth.

"A peculiar technique, devoid of natural energy." Rosa's expression was not good.

There's also a hidden bomb.

You draw the worst card right away.

"However, it's very useful that they can make something called the Philosopher's Stone."

Scorpion stretched out his hand, revealing a red crystal inside, which he had obtained from the white-haired thug.

"This thing has a very special energy property; it can replace any energy, even chakra and natural energy."

This thing is easy to study; he has even calculated the alchemy array within it.

"Consumables are human beings."

Luo Sha remained unmoved.

Human life is not important to him; he can even use his own son as a tool.

Scorpion withdrew his gaze.

"You can search for it yourself."

He wouldn't pass this technology on to Luo Sha, because the other party would definitely use it by any means necessary.

Universal energy is still very useful to them to some extent.

If it's only achieved by sacrificing people, then it's not worth it.

In this new era, everyone has unlimited potential, so treating it as a consumable is simply not worthwhile.

Scorpion didn't care about the lives of these people, but he did care about everyone's future development.

For science to advance, one person alone is not enough.

Luo Sha listened to Scorpion's words and fell into deep thought.

This is a pretty good resource.

"Okay." Luo Sha nodded.

Everyone looked at the door behind Scorpion.

"Everyone, let's enter a new world." Luo Sha waved his hand, and everyone entered the gate one by one.

"Recently, a wanted criminal entered the city and has been killing people."

"How terrifying! I heard that everyone he touches turns into ice."

"Could it be one of those alchemists?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

The sudden outbreak of mass deaths throughout the city has plunged the entire population into panic.

Nobody knows who the next thug will be.

"Gaara, isn't he one of us?" Kankuro looked at Gaara with a puzzled expression.

Ice-attribute ninjutsu used to require a bloodline limit to use, but now those new humans can directly use multiple attributes.

It's no wonder Kankuro overthinks things.

"Idiot." Gaara didn't say anything, but Temari rolled her eyes.

"Our people are highly trained and won't attack people without reason."

A ninja who disobeys orders cannot become an elite of the Sand Ninja Star.

"That's true." Kankuro scratched his head.

"We need to gather intelligence first."

Gaara said coldly.

They are now all scattered throughout this central city, and what they need most now is to gather intelligence about this world.

"I told you we've been walking all day."

Kankuro sighed helplessly, looking at the sky, which had already turned into night.

"Shouldn't we take a break?"

They are all old humans, not those tireless new humans.

Gaara glanced around at the quiet surroundings.

The moon is already high in the sky.

"Hey, you guys."

A voice interrupted Gaara's words.

Edward then walked over with his younger brother.

"You kids, don't wander around outside. It's dangerous now."

The alchemist named Zach has not yet been found. If they keep wandering around outside like this, they are likely to run into him.

That would be dangerous.

"A child?" Kankuro looked Edward up and down. "Aren't you a child too? You're this size."

Upon hearing Kankuro's words, Edward's forehead veins bulged: "What the hell did you say, you bastard?!"

"What?! You want to fight?!"

Kankuro and Edward were face to face, and they almost got into a fight.

"Ah!!" A piercing scream suddenly rang out.

Edward's expression changed and he said seriously to the three of them, "It's dangerous outside right now, let's go home quickly."

Without even looking at what the three were doing, he ran straight towards the source of the screams.

"That guy," Kankuro muttered, grimacing.

"Shut up." Gaara glared at Kankuro, making him shut his mouth in embarrassment.

He's still quite afraid of Gaara.

"Go back." Gaara turned and walked away.

Temari and Kankuro hurriedly followed.

They now live in a very secluded place, heading into the streets and alleys.

A man with a ponytail jumped down from the high wall.

"Three little devils."

Zack glanced at Gaara and the other two.

"Go home, brat." Zack glanced at the three of them; he hadn't stooped to harming the three children.

"Looks like they're after you."

Gaara, however, set his sights on Zac, who was standing right in front of him.

"You should have a lot of information on you."
