Under Amato's lead, the three of them arrived at the edge of Sanin.
Amidst the yellow sand, two figures, one tall and one short, gradually entered the eyes of the three people.
Chi Dong opened his doorbell-sized eyes and looked carefully, afraid to miss any details. Gradually, the figure became clearer.
When Aizen's figure clearly appeared in Chi Dong's eyes, his rough face instantly became excited, and he shouted respectfully.
"Lord Aizen!"
Not far away, Aizen's mouth held a slight smile as he looked at Chi Dong calmly and said softly.
"Long time no see, Chi Dong. Since Amato approved of your preparation, you must have done well."
Hearing these words, Chi Dong was excited and said in a rough voice.
"Since it is Lord Aizen's order, Chi Dong will naturally do my best to complete it. I will certainly not disappoint Lord Aizen."
In response, Aizen smiled and nodded.
Then, his eyes slowly moved to Sasori, who was silent, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly.
Beside Aizen, Ulquiorra's expression was indifferent as he looked at Chi Dong and Sasori calmly. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Feeling Aizen's gaze, Sasori raised his head slightly. His young face was expressionless as he looked at Aizen calmly.
Looking at Aizen's deep eyes that were filled with a smile, Sasori couldn't help but think.
This is … the Lord Aizen that teacher mentioned … He doesn't seem to be anything special …
When Chi Dong saw Aizen looking at Sasori, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He was afraid that Aizen would be dissatisfied with Sasori.
He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, then nervously explained.
"Lord Aizen, this is Sasori … a disciple that I have been training for the past few years …"
"Please forgive his rudeness. He has completely transformed his body into a puppet, so he looks a little strange."
Speaking until here, he turned to look at Sasori, stared at him, and couldn't help but scold in a low voice.
"Scorpion, what did I tell you before? Have you forgotten?!"
Hearing Chi Dong's words, even though Scorpion had already become a puppet, his calm eyes still seemed to flash with a hint of helplessness.
He looked at Aizen expressionlessly and said in a childish voice.
"Sir Aizen, nice to meet you. I am Scorpion, Teacher Chi Dong's disciple."
Aizen didn't mind his attitude. Instead, he looked at him with interest and said softly.
"Hello, Scorpion, it's our first time meeting, but I think … you've really given me a big surprise …"
Hearing Aizen's words, Sasori was slightly taken aback and fell into silence.
This guy … why did he say that?
Amato and Chi Dong were stunned by Aizen's words.
It was great that Aizen was interested in Scorpion.
Aizen looked at Scorpio, and his eyes twinkled as if he could see through Scorpio's body.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said softly.
"Did you choose to completely turn your body into a puppet?"
"You, who have abandoned your pain and human perception, should be able to exert 100% of your strength. You, who have broken through this shackle, should be more outstanding than your Sensei."
Hearing Aizen's words, Scorpio was slightly taken aback. He was surprised that Aizen could see through the fact that he was a puppet at this time.
At the side, Chi Dong's coarse face blushed slightly with embarrassment, but there was also a faint trace of pride.
Although his achievement in Puppet Jutsu was not able to break through the shackles, his disciple has completely mastered the ultimate core of a real human puppet.
This is undoubtedly something for him as a Sensei to be proud of.
Scorpio was silent for a while and asked softly.
"Although this question may make Sensei more distressed, I still want to ask, do you think it's too worthless to spend energy to start a Shinobi World War and then build an ideal country for the world instead of pursuing personal eternity?"
Speaking of this, Scorpio's calm eyes slightly lowered as he said softly.
"Just like making a puppet, I'm afraid that the ideal country you want to build needs to go through a series of rigorous steps, and any mistake in the process may lead to the failure of the overall plan."
"Investing so much energy and fighting against the entire Shinobi World, in the end, because of a small mistake, it may lead to the failure of the result."
"Compared to this … the pursuit of eternal existence, independent of the world, isn't it simpler to watch the change of times …"
Scorpio's calm words slowly fell into the ears of everyone present.
After hearing his words, everyone's eyes slightly tightened, even Ulquiorra looked at the young face of Scorpio calmly, as if he was waiting for Aizen to order him to destroy this guy who dared to despise Aizen.
Chi Dong on the side was even more so, the proud smile on his face at this time had disappeared and was replaced by a deep seriousness, staring at Scorpio, he said in a deep voice.
"Scorpio!"
"How dare you …"
Before he finished his words, Aizen waved his hand to stop him. Aizen looked at Scorpio with a smile on his face and said softly.
"You don't have to be like this, Chi Dong, I like Scorpio's speech very much."
Hearing Aizen's words, everyone on the side slowly calmed down. Scorpio was also stunned, he gently raised his head and looked at Aizen who said these words.
Aizen slightly raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly.
"It's interesting to compare our series of plans to making a puppet, Scorpio."
"As you said, any mistake in the process may lead to the failure of the plan …"
Speaking of this, his eyes flickered slightly as he continued.
"However … because of my existence, the occurrence of this situation will be infinitely close to zero."
"I have already written the script of the Shinobi World, and the story will only be played according to the script, and anyone who dares to deviate from this plot will be destroyed by me."
"This is based on my understanding of my own strength, as well as my trust in my followers."
"Can you understand this explanation, Scorpio?"
Hearing Aizen's words, Scorpio was silent for a while before he raised his head and said softly.
"I made myself into a puppet, and almost achieved the effect of eternity, such that I can be independent of the reincarnation cycle and watch the changes in this world."
"I'm not tempted by your plan at all."
"For Chi Dong-sensei's words, I will help you carry out this part of the plan, but after that, I will choose my own path."
Hearing Scorpio's words, Chi Dong-sensei glared at him and said angrily.
"Scorpio!!"
In this regard, Scorpio slowly turned his head and looked at Chi Dong-sensei calmly and said softly.
"This period of time with Chi Dong-sensei is very precious to me, compared to the almost infinite time, I think it will eventually turn into mottled fragmented memories and settle in a corner of my heart."
"So, I choose to pursue my own path, I'm sorry."
Hearing Scorpio's words, Chi Dong-sensei's eyes were slightly lost, she hesitated and didn't know how to refute Scorpio's point of view.
There's nothing wrong with pursuing eternal existence, right …?
At this time, Aizen looked at Scorpio calmly and said softly.
"Do you think there's any meaning in becoming an eternal existence, Scorpio?"
Hearing this, Scorpio was slightly taken aback, he didn't know why Aizen would ask this.
Aizen's eyes flashed with a trace of nostalgia and said softly.
"Eternal … means losing … everything …"
"Emotions, desires, and everything you can think of will be discarded in the end … Then, you will become a disgusting existence."
Speaking of this, Aizen's eyes flashed and said softly.
"Do you think there's any meaning in becoming an existence like that?"
In this regard, Scorpio's eyes slightly froze and said softly.
"How do you know that becoming eternal means becoming an existence like that …?"
Hearing Scorpio's words, Aizen didn't answer, but said softly.
"Think back, your precious memories, if you really choose to become eternal, those are the things you will inevitably discard."
Hearing Aizen's words, Scorpio's stiff expression was slightly taken aback.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the scene that he hid deep in his heart.
A man and a woman were walking on the street with a happy smile on their faces, holding hands and hugging a red-haired little boy between them.
The red-haired little boy also had a happy and bright smile on his face, his reddish-brown eyes curiously looked at the scenery on the street.
Suddenly, his eyes were involuntarily attracted by an amber crystal-like object.
Noticing the little boy's gaze, the man and woman hugging him laughed softly.
"Haha, Scorpio, do you want to eat sticky candy?
What a cute child. "
After that, the man walked toward the shop, and soon, he came back with a bag of crystal-like sticky candy.
Seeing this, Scorpio, who was still a little boy, couldn't help but smile excitedly and shouted in a childish voice.
"Mom … Mom, want … want to eat."
Hearing his words, the woman hugging him showed a gentle smile, gently put a piece of sticky candy beside Scorpio's little mouth, and said softly.
"Children shouldn't eat too much, Scorpio."
Hearing this, Scorpio's eyes were fixed on the sticky candy in front of him and answered obediently.
"Oh."
Then he swallowed it in one bite.
The sweet taste instantly filled Scorpio's mouth, and his little face immediately showed a happy smile.
Raising his little face, his big eyes looked at his mother and father who were more satisfied than him, and this scene was deeply engraved in his mind.
Father … Mother …
When Scorpio was in a state of daze, Aizen's words immediately followed.
"Puppets are emotionless dead things, but living in a puppet doesn't mean you have to be like a puppet."
"Instead of pursuing the so-called eternity, what I like is more powerful."
"With this power, even if I have never come into contact with the art of puppetry, I will be able to bestow a human soul with a wondrous vitality. It will no longer be like an object pieced together by decaying and dead objects."
"And obtaining this power also means that there will be no hindrance in overturning the Ninja Era and building an ideal country."
Hearing Aizen's words, Scorpio's body slightly trembled.
After being silent for a long time, Scorpio slowly raised his head, looked at Aizen, and whispered.
"If possible, please accept me, I … want to make a puppet with a soul … For this, I am willing to sacrifice everything for you …"
Hearing Scorpio's words, Aizen slightly raised the corner of his mouth and whispered.
"In this case, I accept you, Scorpio …"
"Like your teacher, if I am satisfied, I will give you this power … a power more valuable than the so-called eternity …"
In this regard, Scorpio's originally calm eyes glowed with a strong desire, and said in a childish voice.
"I understand, Aizen -sama."
