Infinite Clone System Chapter 43: Back to Konoha (1)
When Naruto woke up again, he saw Kushina who was sitting next to him. The ex-Kyuubi man Zhuri looked tired and looked as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
"Mom...?"
Naruto said confusedly, "I'm back in Konoha?"
Hearing Naruto's voice, it took Kushina a while to react. She quickly raised her head to make herself look refreshed
Then said angrily, "Yeah, how can you make yourself like this when you go out on a mission?"
Naruto smirked, he didn't want to tell what happened before, and he didn't want to tell the story of the person he saw who called him his brother and called "Uzumaki Mianma".
Because this is bound to make Kushina worry, his transaction with the other party is at the cost of his own life, and now that he has lost a quarter of his life, this must not be told to Kushina.
"Didn't Kakashi-sensei tell you? Oh, by the way, how long has it been since I came back?"
"It's been two days..." Kushina looked worried, "JoJo and Sasuke, who were with you, woke up not long after they returned to the village, only you have been asleep for so long, even Tsunade-sama said no. What's wrong with you."
"Mother-in-law Tsunade can't see it, doesn't that mean I'm fine!" Naruto said with a smile
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll also inform Anbu about your awakening."
Kushina shook her head. Orochimaru also visited Naruto when he was in a coma before, and told Kushina that he hoped to let Naruto find him when he woke up.
Kushina can't guess what Orochimaru wants to do, but since Orochimaru has said so, he has no way to refuse.
After all, Orochimaru is Konoha's fifth Hokage. Although she is no longer a ninja, as long as she lives in Konoha, it is unlikely that she will refuse Orochimaru's request.
And Orochimaru probably wants to know the situation. After all, according to Kakashi, he has no idea what happened next, so it is necessary for the other three children to ask.
………………
When Kushina left, Naruto sat up on the bed in a daze. At this time, he thought about all kinds of things that happened in the country of waves, and he just thought it was a dream.
Such a powerful demon was slaughtered by himself like this?
He remembered that after he agreed to the deal with 'Mianma', that powerful force poured in and at the same time it seemed that there was another personality controlling him. Naruto could only recall what happened in a trance. , as if from that moment his body did not belong to him.
Is this the price he talks about? Exchange your own soul for power?
"Are you scared?"
At this time, Naruto felt that the original feeling came again. At this moment, the time was infinitely stretched, and the second hand of the clock in the room was almost stagnant, and everything was still.
A face that looks exactly like himself appeared in the room. He skillfully pulled a chair to the side of the bed and sat down, looking at himself quietly.
"Afraid? Afraid of what?"
This time Naruto didn't marvel, but instead asked, "Are you afraid that my life will be taken away by you? Now that I think about it, I am indeed a little scared. If you took my life, then my mother must be very sad. "
"She is my only son."
Naruto's voice was a little low, and then suddenly became light
"By the way, I still don't know who you are? Why do you look like me?"
"Naruto Naruto, whirlpool face numb... Actually it shouldn't be like this." Mian Ma raised his head and said softly
"If the world line developed normally, it would be Naruto Uzumaki and Naruto Naruto, but the two who were supposed to be opposites turned into this relationship after the surname was changed..."
He shook his head "I am a ghost, a ghost floating in history and destiny, I was born because of the wrong world line. So to you I am still a devil, as long as we make our deal I will You can take your body and take your place."
"The existence that replaces me..." Naruto was stunned for a moment. "Are you just saying that?"
"You will need my strength sooner or later, either you will exchange your life, or you will lose everything you value." Mian Ma replied calmly, "No matter what you choose, it will be beneficial to me, so I No selection is required."
"That's it..." Naruto lowered his head and suddenly laughed, "Then let's have a test to see if I will be taken away by you! I remember you called my brother before, right? ? So let's have a fight between brothers!"
"Competition?" Mian Ma chuckled, "You will understand later that this can never be described as a contest."
"Then let's wait and see!"
Naruto clenched his fists. At this time, he looked up and found that the numbness had disappeared at some point.
Only the previous chair that he pulled over proves that someone has just come...
………………
"Brother!"
Itachi had just returned home from the mission when he saw Sasuke leaning in front of the door, looking expectant.
Itachi walked over, patted Sasuke's head and asked, "I remember you didn't go to the ninja trial? Why, did you finish it so soon?"
He had just completed Anbu's mission, and he only knew that Sasuke was going to the Land of Waves, but he didn't expect that when he got home, Sasuke was already waiting for him.
He has successfully completed the task and is waiting for his praise?
Itachi was already thinking about how to reward Sasuke in his mind. As for Sasuke's failure in the trial, he never thought about it. Although Sasuke has not yet reached the age of graduating from the ninja school, he is actually no worse than Genin or even Chunin.
"Speaking of this, brother, I want to tell you something."
Sasuke took Itachi back to the house and sat down. He started talking about the strange fruit he ate after he arrived in the country of waves. He kept talking about the attack of the evil **** of fire cloud, and then he and others didn't know. He was rescued by someone, and then sent back by Kakashi.
"Strange fruits and powerful demons?"
After listening to this, Itachi's face sank, Sasuke is performing the trial of becoming a ninja, even Kakashi, the elite Jounin, almost died there, and even the adults of Jiraiya are in danger.
"Forget about that for now!" Sasuke began to get excited, "I've now eaten what Kakashi said about burning fruit, and my strength has grown a lot! Now even you may not be my opponent! "
"Really, that's really congratulations." Itachi took what Sasuke said to the bottom of his heart, and smiled
"Sasuke wants to have a game with me, so let's go outside."
After speaking, he stood up and walked outside.
Sasuke couldn't wait to chase after him, and the two stood apart in the courtyard, ready to fight together.
Sasuke took a breath, and quickly formed the fire escape seal. The next moment, a fireball was spit out of his mouth.
Fire Escape: The Art of Fireball!
Itachi evaded with a flash, only to find that the corner of Sasuke's mouth curled up, and with a wave of his hand, the fireball that had been dodged by him suddenly turned a corner and continued to charge. Own.
Burning the fruit to control the flame?
Itachi made the seal at a speed that ordinary people couldn't catch. The next moment, a water dragon gathered around him, and the water dragon opened its huge mouth to swallow the fireball, causing it to make a muffled sound inside the water dragon.
At this time, Sasuke was also ready for the next wave of attacks. He snorted lowly, and countless flame rays as thin as needles shot out from his fingers. It was like a rain of fire. Itachi could only continue to dodge. .
"Brother, you are too careless! I won this game!"
Itachi was shocked when he heard the words. At this time, he found that there were threads of silk around him. Sasuke puffed up his mouth and spit out flames, allowing him to quickly surround Itachi along the threads.
"Surrender, Itachi."
Sasuke said quite complacently
…………
In the room, looking at Sasuke who was lying on the table confidently saying this, Itachi smiled helplessly, then stood up and closed his writing wheel, and set it up when he left five After a few minutes, let Sasuke's illusion be lifted.
When he walked out of the room, his expression changed to his usual indifference, and he was going to ask his father and Brother Zhishui what was going on.
At this time, his father and Brother Zhishui should both be in the garrison, which is convenient for him.
It's just that when he arrived at the Konoha Police Department headquarters with the Uchiha family emblem engraved on it, he only saw Shisui busy.
He replaced Fuyue as the new police chief a few years ago, and Fuyue is a full-time head of the Uchiha clan, but after all, it is where he has worked for more than ten years, and Fuyue still often I'll go to the police department to help Shishui.
It's a bit rare that he's neither at home nor at the police department this time...
"The patriarch went to the newly established Kassel Academy. Recently, Mr. Hokage and Mr. Angers have been there for a long time. This time, the patriarch must have something to do."
Zhishui is also very happy to see Itachi coming back. He took Itachi back to his office and said so on the way
After dragging on the chaotic blessings of the world ten years ago, the estrangement between Konoha and the Uchiha clan has almost disappeared. Of course, the main reason for this is that Orochimaru, who didn't mind these things, was replaced by Hokage. Almost all of those old-fashioned old people were killed. He was excluded from the power level of Konoha, otherwise Naruto would not have summoned the patriarch of the Uchiha clan to discuss anything.
But in recent years, this kind of thing is quite common.
"Do you have anything to do with the patriarch?" Zhishui asked
"No, it's not something I'm particularly anxious about. And I've already thought about asking you about it."
Itachi sat upright on the opposite side of Shishui, and said in a deep voice, "You must have heard of Sasuke's past, right?"
This kind of major event, and it is also a matter of Jiraiya, it is very unlikely that Shisui does not understand, after all, he is also a high-level executive of the new generation of Konoha, and he is also a disciple of Jiraiya. You should know about this time.
Shishui smiled and said, "I knew it had something to do with Sasuke, yes, I already knew about it when Kakashi-senpai came back, but I couldn't get away from the country of waves. , and since the teacher still chooses to stay there, he should have his own arrangements, if I go rashly, I may disturb him."
Speaking of this, he looked embarrassed again
If he had been unofficial and light-hearted before the change, he would have applied to Hokage to go to the Land of Waves anyway after learning of this.
But now he is Konoha's police chief, the core force responsible for protecting Konoha's homeland. If he leaves his post without permission, then if Konoha is in any danger, he will be a sinner.
After the reconciliation between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan, most of Anbu's security work for the village was accepted by the Uchiha clan. The current Konoha garrison is a veritable garrison, as it used to be responsible for trivial matters The policeman is obviously inconsistent with the army profession of ninja.
Because in the past, Anbu was also accused of being responsible for the security of the village, which made the Uchiha family look more embarrassed.
Itachi understands this very well, so he doesn't say much, but asks again
"There is another question, which is the fruit that Sasuke ate. Do you have any guesses?"
"I talked to the patriarch about this..." Zhi Shui frowned slightly~IndoMTL.com~ He leaned back and said slowly
"We think Kakashi's guess is likely to be correct. The fruit that Sasuke ate is the burnt fruit that Ace said at the beginning. I just don't know if there is only one fruit... "
At the beginning of Shichibukai's birth, Itachi was still very young, but after so many years as a ninja, he knew something about the original things. After all, as the son of the Uchiha clan, he has a lot of information channels.
So he said with some doubts, "If according to what Shichibukai said at the beginning, Ace represents the D family, I thought that burning the fruit would be the power of this family."
Just like the Uchiha clan has a writing wheel, it is not surprising that an ancient clan like the D clan can still serve as a member of the Qibukai all the time.
"Not all of them are burnt fruits."
Zhishui chuckled and said, "If everyone in the D family is burning fruit, then Ace didn't need to emphasize this point at the beginning, just say that he can control the flame."
"...This is also." After being reminded by Zhishui, Itachi said thoughtfully, "You mean that apart from burning the fruit, the D family has other fruits? After eating them, they will Gain the ability to burn fruit other than manipulating fire?"
"Just a guess, but I personally think it's quite possible."
Speaking of this, Zhishui was a little troubled, and he spread his hands, "Anyway, we have no way to verify it. Those who know something about the D family and its members are already dead, we can't guess any more. There is no answer."
Itachi nodded noncommittally. If he could get other fruits, maybe he would know something about the burning fruit at the moment Sasuke ate it.
