Chapter 123 Immortality and the Heart
In the territory of the Rain Country.
An underground cave.
Several phantoms appeared one after another, and colorful lights illuminated the dark and narrow space.
"We are summoned again." One of them spoke, carrying a huge three-bladed sickle on his shoulder, flicking his tongue angrily, "What is it for this time? Are we finally going to take action?"
"Our group's mission has been completed." Beside him, another tall figure spoke calmly.
The one with the Samsara Eye said: "Jue, tell them the information."
The noisy people immediately shut up.
The phantom with a pitcher plant-shaped head said in a hoarse voice: "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki went to the Land of Lightning and was targeted by the Hidden Cloud Village, and organized people to attack the Nine-Tails."
"Has the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki been captured by the Hidden Cloud Village?" The phantom with a high ponytail shouted, "They were one step ahead of us."
Jue ignored him and continued: "But the Hidden Cloud Village failed to capture him."
"The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki joined forces, plus dozens of jonin, and even the Raikage went out in person, but they were no match for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"The troops sent out by the Hidden Cloud Village were almost wiped out."
"The Raikage was injured and lost an arm and a leg."
This sentence landed.
The color of the phantom seemed to become a little dim.
The atmosphere in the cave was depressing.
"Too exaggerated." Gao Mawei said, "Deal with an entire village?"
"Only if we join forces can we achieve this."
"He can do it alone?"
"The Hidden Cloud Village almost used all its strength, but still failed to take down the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" A man who almost huddled into a ball continued to speak, "Itachi, I remember you fought him."
The phantom with a pair of Sharingan raised his head.
He is the only person in the "Akatsuki Organization" who is not called by a "code name".
"Sharingan" is too eye-catching.
There are only two pairs of Sharingan in the entire ninja world now, and he is one of them. No one will not be unaware of his identity.
"He is very powerful." Uchiha Itachi said, "Nan and I didn't fight him too deeply, so we don't know how powerful he is."
"Besides, that was more than a year ago."
The tall phantom looked up and looked at the "Samsara Eye": "So the leader summoned us this time to gather all the strength of the organization to deal with him?"
The Samsara Eye spoke in a calm tone: "The information that Jue brought back to me this time."
"It's almost the same as the information that Zhu and Nan brought to me more than a year ago."
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still very young now."
"If he continues to grow like this, it will become a big trouble."
"And And"
He paused and looked at the pitcher plant: "According to some intelligence, the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki has been trying to obtain information about our organization in the past year or so."
"He may have known what the purpose of our organization is."
The man holding the sickle smiled and said: "Couldn't his purpose be Itachi?"
"It's the Sharingan after all."
The Samsara eye looked over: "According to Zetsu's information."
"That guy Orochimaru doesn't seem to be dead."
"And he has had some exchanges with the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki."
"Our information should have been leaked from that guy."
The man holding the sickle shut up.
The eyes of the Samsara Eye swept over all the phantoms and lowered his voice: "Whether it is because of Uzumaki Naruto's own strength."
"Or to ensure the secrecy of the organization."
"Capturing the Nine-Tails is already an imminent matter."
"But the battlefield cannot be placed on the territory of the five major countries."
"We are not yet exposed to them."
"So."
"Three, North."
"You go and attract the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the Rain Country."
"The rest of you rush back and prepare for battle."
The two phantoms whose names were called trembled.
The man holding the sickle complained in a long voice: "This is obviously a suicide mission, and we are doing it?"
"Aren't you the immortal duo?" The Samsara Eye said, "This mission is most suitable for you to carry out."
"And 'Three', you joined the organization after that guy Orochimaru."
"No one knows your information."
"Maybe you can use your ability to catch the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki by surprise."
The man called "Three" sighed: "I know, leader."
"But."
"I think your last order can be withdrawn."
"I will definitely catch the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back!"
The Samsara Eye did not answer him, but just made a seal and whispered: "Get ready."
His phantom disappeared.
The figures of other people also disappeared one after another.
The Land of Birds.
In a forest, two men wearing black robes with red clouds slowly opened their eyes.
"Hidan, you can really say such words." The man wearing the Takigakure forehead protector said, "Do you really think you can catch the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"Crushing the strongest of the five major countries, Kumogakure"
"This strength reminds me of an old friend I haven't seen for a long time."
"If he grows up a few more years, I'm afraid he will become such a person."
The young man with the Yugakure ninja forehead protector hanging around his neck turned around and plucked his ears impatiently: "Kakuzu, you are so long-winded. I have already heard about fighting the first Hokage without dying." How many times!"
"A mere ninja god."
"Don't say that the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki hasn't reached that level yet. Even if he does have that strength, so what?"
"Can the status that is complimented by others be compared with that of a real god?"
"Lord Evil God is the real god!"
"No one can resist it, it comes from the power of the evil god."
Kakuzu curled his lips: "Then let's set off. It's a long way from here to the Kingdom of Thunder."
Hidan was very excited, and in his mind, the scene of "slaying the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki by himself" was already playing in his mind.
Turtle Island.
The practice of True Waterfall progressed slowly.
Naruto has a peaceful mind. He uses the real waterfall as a tool to verify his abilities. He fights with another identical self, captures and records the omissions in the battle, and polishes the corresponding skills to make himself stronger.
It is for this purpose.
He doesn't go to the waterfall frequently, at most once every two or three days. Sometimes when the research reaches a critical point, or he can't figure out how to solve a problem, he simply doesn't go to the waterfall until he solves it.
Kyuubi goes there every day and fights the "dark side of the heart" two or three times a day.
Wanting to obtain a Zanpakutō was one of the reasons.
On the other hand, they dislike the "blackened" guy very much.
Just an inner strength.
Such arrogance and arrogance.
It's just that the results are not as expected.
Every day I come back disgraced, and the results are self-evident.
This makes them somewhat frustrated.
Even when he quarreled with Xianglin, his momentum was obviously lacking.
"Naruto, you can research tailed beasts at any time." Yin Jiuwei lay on the bed, grinning, "Don't you want to solve that dark side quickly?"
"I'm not in a hurry." Naruto smiled.
Yang Jiuwei scratched the sheets uneasily.
But I am anxious!
Do you really want to put down your dignity and ask Naruto for help?
Like that little girl named "Smash Bee"?
Isn't that too embarrassing?
Naruto could read its emotions. Kyuubi was a guy who couldn't hide his thoughts. Whatever thoughts he had, they were all written on his face.
He put down the scroll and turned around: "Haven't you heard the name of that knife?"
The two foxes nodded, this topic made their faces even more irritable.
"You can obviously hear the voice clearly." Yang Jiuwei grinned, "But the name has been withheld."
"Why is this happening?"
"Is it because our practice is not enough?"
Yin Jiuwei scratched the pillow.
Naruto whispered: "You are too impatient."
He paused and patted his thigh lightly: "Seeing how you two look now, I have some new ideas."
Two foxes bared their teeth.
What does "the way you two look like now" mean? It sounds like you are in a state of embarrassment.
"I think."
"Is it possible that we are a little too preconceived?"
Kyuubi tilted his head, staring at him with four eyes.
"Dad told us at the beginning that we should deal with the dark power in our hearts." Naruto continued, "So after we came to the Real Waterfall, we took it for granted that we must kill that guy."
Otherwise?
The two foxes were confident.
Of course we have to destroy that ugly thing!
"But" Naruto recalled the night when "Rukuchukenxi" and the others had an accident, "No matter how dark and evil that guy is, he is still a part of our hearts."
"Before freeing the sword of Asura."
"I can hear their voices too, but I can't hear their names."
"I thought about it, and the reason is very simple. I haven't decided yet at that time."
"I long for stronger power, but I don't feel close to stronger power."
"I prefer to be close to weak power, but I don't want to accept it."
"Subconsciously, it makes me repulse them, so I don't hear their names."
"It's not that we don't have enough power, it's that we blocked our ears with our own hands."
Kyuubi was thoughtful.
"So, do you want to accept that guy?" A look of disgust appeared on their faces subconsciously.
Naruto grabbed Yang Jiuwei's tail, put it in his palm and kneaded it: "Where there is light, there is shadow."
"In our hearts, nature is no exception."
"We need to be the strongest light to suppress these shadows and let our true self-awareness guide our bodies and thoughts, rather than one-sided thoughts."
Yang Jiuwei raised his head and stared at the blond boy: "Naruto, you are really presentable now."
"but"
"What's going on with you Uzumaki clan!"
"Stop playing with my tail."
It showed its claws fiercely, the Yin Jiuwei laughed at the side, and Naruto refused to let go.
the next day.
The two of them appeared at the real waterfall at the same time, went to the platform to meditate, and met the other side of their hearts.
(There are two chapters left today, I’ll try to be early! The state is still a bit poor QAQ)
