The cool breeze blew by, blowing up the green willows and fallen leaves.
The gentle drizzle falls, nourishing everything for the last time in the summer that is about to end. The chill of autumn is about to come, and what happened in these few months will be buried here with the passing of summer -
Among the countless monuments to Konoha's fallen heroes, Jiraiya, dressed in black, walked to the front holding an umbrella and whispered
"Aren't you going to take them back to the secret party?"
"No..." Angers, who was standing next to him, raised his head, and raindrops fell on his face, flowing along the lines of the old man.
"None of the three of them wanted to be mixed-race children. I still remember Zhisheng telling me that his biggest dream is to spend the rest of his life in a place where no one knows about after finding his younger siblings."
"I once promised Uesugoshi to protect them, but in the end..."
Even Ange, who had experienced many things, was choked up at this time. He lowered his head, and Jiraiya raised the umbrella to a position that could cover both of them at the same time, blocking the rain for the old man.
"Thirteen years ago, I found Jiao Sheng in an abandoned laboratory. Now think about it, if I had failed to bring him back to the Secret Party, wouldn't this ending have happened? "
What will the ending be like
Without the childish checks and balances, the holy remains of the eight Sheqi families were enough to kill them all at that time...
"..." Jiraiya really didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
That Uesugoshi sacrificed his life to save Angers for his child, but who could have imagined the ending now
Behind them were Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke, all of whom were companions who fought side by side in the Land of Waves. At this moment, they all wore black mourning clothes with heavy hearts, mourning their past companions.
On the three tombstones in front are engraved the names of Minamoto Nasho, Minamoto Nasho, and Uesugi Eri. Although they have not been in contact for a long time, they have experienced a life and death battle together, and they have already left a lasting impression on each other in their hearts. left an indelible mark.
Far away from the monument, Orochimaru was wearing a god robe and a Hokage hat, looking at Naruto and Sasuke.
"That's really curious... don't you think so, Itachi?"
Beside him, Uchiha Itachi stood. After hearing Orochimaru's words, he replied calmly, "I wonder what kind of curiosity the Hokage mentioned?"
Orochimaru didn't speak. After a long time, he chuckled and said, "Forget it if you don't want to say it. Talk to me about Naruto. What do you think of the other him?"
"Very strong." This was Itachi's first impression. Now he still has lingering fears when he thinks of the original battle. The battle between Naruto and White King was by no means inferior to the battle between Madara and Aizen ten years ago. of that battle.
They all possess the power to destroy the entire world!
"He is parasitic on Naruto, and every time he appears, Naruto's power will skyrocket. With Naruto now, I think even I may not be able to defeat him."
Orochimaru smiled and said, "You are too humble, Itachi. In the current Konoha, can anyone still let you say such a thing?"
"It's no exaggeration." Itachi's expression remained unchanged, "Naruto has such potential."
"What about Sasuke?"
"Having swallowed the spiritual power of the Supreme Revelation, Sasuke also has great potential, but compared with Naruto, he is still a little behind."
"Then... let the plan continue." Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Itachi, with a smile on his lips. "Let your brother see what despair is. Only after experiencing hellish despair can the child truly feel Discover the power within yourself. He has potential that is not inferior to Naruto, you have to tap it out properly."
After a short silence, Itachi nodded slightly and said
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
… … … …
"Naruto, remember, you will never trade with Menma again."
At that time in the house, my mother said this to herself
"With each transaction, your body will get closer to Menma, and his power will flow into your body, but this is not a power you can control now."
"So, I will set a seal for you."
"seal?"
"Yes, the chakra in your body now, according to popular terms, has reached a level beyond the shadow level. But I will set up a two-layer seal of the Uzumaki lineage for you, so that you can use it at most in normal times. The power of Shinobi can only be used in critical situations to bring out the chakra of the 'Shadow' in the first seal. As for the seals of the higher level, you must not use it!"
Although he was used to hearing his mother's harsh words, it was the first time for Naruto to hear such solemn and gentle words as yesterday.
His thoughts returned to reality, he shook hands slightly, folded his arms behind his back, leaned on his head, and walked slowly down the street.
"Grandpa Ange has to go home for something, and Kassel College won't start school until he comes back. I really don't know what to do during this free time..."
"But speaking of which, do I really need to go to school now?"
He sighed and let out his feelings about life.
A few months ago, no one would have imagined that he, a low-ranking student in school, would become a master who can display the strength of a jounin at a minimum.
While walking and distracted, Naruto came to the corner and was about to take a step, but he felt keenly that something was about to come out in front of him, so he stopped.
When someone walked out from around the corner, Naruto took a closer look and found that it was his classmate, so he smiled and said hello.
"Hinata, long time no see."
The visitor was Hinata Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan. At this moment, she did not expect to meet Naruto. Her face suddenly turned red. She pointed her two fingers at each other and said
"Naruto...Naruto-kun, well...it's been a long time..."
"Speaking of which, I remember that Hinata was also selected to join Kassel Academy, right?" Naruto touched his head and showed off, "Hey, because of a previous mission, I and Sasuke have been promoted to the second grade, which is awesome. Bar!"
"You're really... worthy of being Naruto-kun!" Hinata lowered her head and said, "I will work hard too."
"Then let's work together!" Naruto narrowed his eyes and patted Hinata on the head. However, what he didn't expect was that the latter actually fainted!
Naruto was a little confused and was about to help Hinata up, but suddenly he saw the other side of the street from this angle. Sasuke looked anxious and walked quickly forward.
Sasuke
Didn't he say he wanted to go home when he left before? Why are you still outside? And that direction is not the Uchiha family...
Although he was curious in his heart, he couldn't ignore Hinata at this moment, so he sent Hinata back to Hinata's house. Hinata woke up once in the middle, but after seeing herself being held by Naruto, she fainted again with a red face. Already…
After the Hinata family brought Hinata back, Naruto remembered Sasuke's hurried expression just now, and a doubt arose in his heart, but he didn't know where he had gone, so he could only let it go.
"Oh, I don't know where JOJO has gone... It seems that since he first came back from the Land of Waves, he has disappeared without knowing where he went..."
Thinking of the friends he had grown up with, Naruto suddenly felt worried.
I heard Kakashi say before that he was on a mission, but is it necessary to go for so long for a mission
During this period, the ninja world has experienced a crisis that almost destroyed it...
"Go and ask the lustful immortal, maybe he knows something."
In the days since returning from the Land of Waves, Jiraiya has been in Konoha, which is completely different from his past style of almost never staying in Konoha.
K…
He must be a little tired too...
… …
Uchiha Resident
Sasuke sat on a big tree and stretched out his right hand.
Flames first appeared above, and soon turned into thunder and lightning.
"Can the Shayaki Fruit and the Chidori overlap?"
He thought slowly
Logically speaking, ninjas generally cannot release two ninjutsu with different attributes at the same time. For example, they can no longer use fire escape and thunder escape at the same time. However, for Sasuke, it is possible to use burning fruit instead.
He can use the Thunder Release Ninjutsu, and then use the burning fruit to generate flames. Combining the two, the power will definitely be increased several times!
"It's just that you have to control the energy ratio of the two and control the chakra extremely accurately, otherwise the energy of the two will be extremely unstable, and may even explode in your own hands..."
At that time, we can only hope that this ninjutsu will make the other party laugh to death.
Thinking of this, Sasuke opened the three magatama sharingan. In this state, he can control his chakra more clearly, and his mental power will be greatly improved, which is very helpful in completing this ninjutsu.
After completing the seal, he used the Chidori, and with the chirping of thousands of birds, a ball of lightning appeared in Sasuke's hand. At the same time, Sasuke used part of his mind to control the burning fruit, causing the ball to The lightning was mixed with a little flame.
The flame became more and more vivid, and when it merged with the thunder and lightning, it made a violent friction and corrosion sound. As it reached a critical point, the thunder fire ball suddenly exploded. Although Sasuke was prepared, he was still shocked by the explosion. The power was blown away.
Falling to the ground with a thud, all the internal organs in his body seemed to be displaced due to the explosion, and Sasuke gasped twice.
Because he practiced domineering and used thunder chakra to stimulate cells, his physical fitness has been greatly improved. Otherwise, he would not be able to get out of bed for two months under such a close explosion.
He failed, but he was not too frustrated about this. After all, this was just an attempt. How could one develop a new ninjutsu and succeed in one go
"Sasuke, what happened?"
At this time, Itachi happened to open the door and saw a somewhat embarrassed Sasuke. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Did you fight with someone else? How did you end up like this?"
Sasuke blushed slightly, not wanting to tell him about his failure in developing ninjutsu, so he stood up and changed the subject and said, "No... nothing. By the way, what did Itachi go to? Wasn't he at home early this morning?"
"I am an ANBU directly under the Hokage-sama, so of course I have to carry out ninja missions." Itachi lightly tapped Sasuke's forehead and said softly, "As soon as I came back, I heard a 'Peng' sound in the yard, and an explosion. Weiqi, I thought you were still practicing ninjutsu."
"I'm practicing..." Sasuke said this, and suddenly smelled the smell of blood, so he said with disgust, "Itachi, you'd better take a shower first when you come back. There's other people's blood on you."
"Haha, I have something to do and I have to go see my father. I will take a shower when I come back." Itachi retracted his hand, turned around, waved his hand and said, "I heard that there is an amazing person at the same level as you. Where are the ninjas, Sasuke doesn’t want to be left behind.”
Sasuke raised his eyebrows and snorted, "I won't be surpassed by Naruto!"
Even so, when he thought of Naruto's god-like performance in the Land of Waves, he felt powerless from the bottom of his heart.
Can anyone really reach that level
But he also knew that Naruto's state was definitely abnormal, which gave him some comfort, otherwise he would really give up comparing with Naruto...
But even so, he still felt great pressure, so he couldn't wait to develop new ninjutsu.
"Okay, okay, then let me look forward to Sasuke's performance."
After saying that, Itachi turned away.
Sasuke was in a place similar to a training place for the Uchiha clan. After all, he was not capable of practicing such dangerous ninjutsu in his own home.
Since Fugaku was removed from the position of captain of the Konoha Guards, he has become the leader of the Uchiha clan with peace of mind. He usually handles clan affairs at home no matter what the big deal is.
At this moment, Itachi was standing outside the door of his home, hesitating a little. He stood there for a long time, unable to make up his mind to knock on the door.
"Is it Itachi? Come in."
It wasn't until Fugaku's voice came from inside that Itachi put down his hanging hand, gently opened the door and walked in.
Fugaku was looking at a document in his hand. He didn't pay much attention after knowing Itachi came in. After reading the document for a while, he saw that Itachi had been standing opposite him since he came in, not moving at all. .
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Seeing this, Fugaku no longer looked at any documents. Itachi's mental state seemed unstable. For the Uchiha people, once the mentality is unstable, it is easy to go extreme or even crazy.
"Well..." Itachi lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Hokage-sama wants me to participate in that plan."
“…”
Fugaku choked for a moment. After a while, he sighed, "What about your opinion?"
"I want to agree." Itachi raised his head, revealing the three Magatama Sharingan, and said slowly
Fugaku said seriously, "Do you know that once you get involved, you will probably be expelled from Uchiha or even Konoha? Have you ever thought about what Sasuke will think of you once you are exposed?"
You should know what happened in the Land of Waves. "
Itachi said softly, "This world is becoming more and more dangerous. If you can't become stronger, you will be eliminated."
