Chapter 63: The Scarlet Sand Scorpion
I got a map and information about the location of the transmigrators from God, because I couldn't possibly search the whole world to find out who is a transmigrator. And there's also a technique that won't let people recognize me after removing my disguise and the memories of my split body will return to my main body. After all, I'm currently living in the Uchiha household, even if I go out, it's impossible for me to leave this village.
The closest traverser to here is in the Wind Country's Sand Ninja Village, a teenage girl who has never watched anime and doesn't know this is the world of Naruto. For young traversers like her, it's better to eliminate them as soon as possible, especially those who have watched anime and can influence the plot of this world. As for some elderly people over 70 years old, it's better to just let them be and wait for their natural death, anyway they will die of old age in a few years.
"The Art of Body Division." After sealing the technique, another me appeared. Upon careful observation, there was no difference from my usual self, so it can be said that even a genius like Uchiha Itachi wouldn't notice this body division technique. It's worthy of being given to me by God himself, but it's still different.
"You can replace me during my absence."
"Yes."
Use 'Instant Move Alice' to move to the Wind Country because it would take several days on foot, but with Instant Move it only takes five minutes.
…………
The scene in front of me made my mouth twitch involuntarily, because the place I arrived at didn't seem to be within the borders of the Wind Country. All around me were vast expanses of forest. The Wind Country was surrounded by deserts, so it's obvious that this isn't the Wind Country. Just then, I saw someone up ahead and went to ask them for directions, although I couldn't help but feel that their way of walking was strange, as if they were dragging themselves along.
"Hey mister, how do I get to the Wind Country?" I jumped in front of him, but his appearance still gave me a shock. His weird hairstyle, along with a mask covering his mouth and nose, furrowed eyebrows, and dead fish-like eyes made me think he was an uncle who didn't deserve to be seen by the public. But somehow, he looked familiar... must be my imagination.
Akatsuki no Kō saw the figure that suddenly appeared before him and originally intended to kill him with the poison on his puppet tail, but when he saw the person's face, he stiffened. "......it's you."
"Huh? Do I know you, uncle?" Looking at the man in front of her with a puzzled expression, she tilted her head and thought for a moment before confirming that she didn't recognize him.
"Hmph! As expected, you foolish woman don't recognize me again, just like what you said before. But you, this foolish woman, have not only failed to grow taller since disappearing over a decade ago, but have actually shrunk instead." Akatsuki no Kō from his puppet 'Kurenai Ryū' emerged, transforming in an instant from a big uncle into a beautiful young man.
"I, I'm only five years old in this world, so my current height is very normal." Pouting his mouth to retort back, his brother said "Loil's height isn't bad either, at least he likes it, although he always says hurry up and grow already".
"Hehe, still as entangled as ever about your height. Want me to help you become an adult puppet? I can actually help make you a bit taller." The Scorpio of the Red Sand teased, occasionally playing with the girl was also okay.
"I don't want to, and who are you?" She glared at the young man. Although he was a handsome young man emerging from that ugly puppet, his personality still made people angry, but it couldn't be denied that he looked somewhat familiar.
"......Red Sand Scorpion."
I suddenly realized, no wonder I felt like I had seen him before, it turned out that I was the Scorpion of the "Dawn" organization. However, he seemed to have known me for a long time, just like the Black Angel and that despicable Birdman, but I didn't have any impression at all.
"My name is Mizushima Akira." Or rather, I should say that's my name in this world, anyway. It's just the surname that's different, after all.
"...Is your surname Mizushima?" Scorpion lowered his gaze, thinking that wasn't the name of a prestigious family that was almost exterminated, could it be that she was the girl he hadn't had time to kill yet? It's better not to let her know about this.
"Hey, Scorpion, where is the Suna Village of the Wind Country?" He pulled on his haori with a red cloud pattern, though he didn't know what he was thinking about now, but for now, the mission was more important.
"What are you doing going to Sunagakure? Come back with me to the Akatsuki organization." Scorpion's eyebrows furrowed in discontent, he was extremely dissatisfied that she went to Sunagakure, especially letting her run around outside when it would be better to bring her back to the organization and have her stay by his side.
"I went there to kill, because it's a task I must complete. And why did you bring me back to the 'Dawn' organization?" He stared at him uncomprehendingly, why did he want me to return to the 'Dawn' organization? Was I once a member of that place? But looking at his appearance didn't seem to say so, then what was the reason?
"...heard that someone was going to kill in Suna Village, Shizune's mood suddenly rose by twenty percent. (Shizune, you really dislike Suna Village, don't you)"
"Scorpion, tell me where Suna Village is, okay?" The pitiful-looking boy tugged on Scorpion's clothes. His brother said that sometimes acting pitiful makes things go more smoothly.
Scorpion looked at the pitiful appearance of the person and his heart softened, gritting his teeth and spitting out from his mouth "After passing through this forest is Suna Village."
"Scorpio is a good person, take this and don't lose it, I'll come find you to play later~" He handed Scorpio a coordinate stone, so he could get to his side anytime now~ And I quite like what Scorpio said, occasionally finding him to play is not bad either~
Like this, Scorpion's life first drew a good person card, and the card issuer had already disappeared in the forest. Although Scorpion's mood dropped by twenty percentage points due to Kurenai's departure, he still managed to conjure up a smile that could turn people upside down. After waiting for over a decade, he finally found her.
