Naruto Sakaki

Chapter 319 Wearing a Mask, Nine Escapes
Leaf Village.

"Hokage-sama, Namikaze Minato is back!"

"what!"

Sarutobi, who was buried in the files, heard the assistant's report, and couldn't help but look up with an extremely groggy face, making the unknowing assistant think that what he just reported was a disaster!

For Sarutobi, this can be called a disaster, even more terrible than natural disasters.

"I'm going to meet him!"

Sarutobi stood up with a whoosh, and walked out of Hokage's office with a strong momentum.

……

Entering Konoha, Jiu Xinnai took Sakaki and the others around and around, turning in the most remote direction, and finally arrived at the destination not long after.

What appeared in front of everyone was a single building that looked extremely ordinary, even a bit dilapidated. It really didn't look like a treasure trove!

"This is the so-called Namian Hall?"

"It looks chilly, doesn't it? Because this is the place of the Uzumaki clan, no one would normally come here! Since Mito-sama passed away, I'm the only Uzumaki clan member in the village, and then..."

Jiu Xinnai, who has always kept the house clean and tidy, showed a rather embarrassed smile.

"I came in here once when I was a child, and the pile of masks inside looked so scary and left a strong shadow on me, so since then, I have forgotten about it, and finally this place that no one cares about It can only become like this, ahahaha~"

"Hehe~ I didn't expect blood red peppers to have something to be afraid of!"

"That was only when I was a child! When I was a child! Huh!" Jiu Xinnai said with a blushing face, as if to prove himself, he walked in first with his head held high.

"It's finally here, the fateful moment..."

"What are you talking about, why don't you come quickly?"

Jiu Xinnai turned around and urged, and Sakaki came back to his senses, showing an unpredictable smile, holding the rope with one hand, dragging the poor Kazama Toru, and walked in.

"No, kill me, I don't want to die...uh..."

Kazama Toru yelled crazily, but the head that was dragged on the ground hit the threshold with a thud, and the dizziness finally subsided for a while.

Jiu Xinnai took a look at the unlucky guy, and said, "Sakaki, I think it's better not to use him to unblock..."

"You don't feel sorry for this guy, do you?"

"Of course not, because..."

Jiu Xinnai just wanted to say what was in his heart, but was interrupted by Sakaki again, saying.

"It took me a lot of effort to bring this guy back. I didn't want him to travel leisurely. He is my sacrifice to the god of death, and he cannot be changed!"

Kazama Torutora has never given up since his mouth ran into a wall, and he has been trying his best to find a way to escape all the way. Not to mention a lot of troubles, Sakaki also encountered an incident where the crew united to save people.

In the name of a banquet, the captain enthusiastically brought all of them to the hall for dinner, and then secretly sent the crew to rescue Toutora Kazama, but unfortunately he was still no match for Inumaru's nose, and he sneaked into the room and was noticed, and then the conspiracy was over!

For these daring guys, Sakaki gave the most terrible punishment, threatening them to beat up the lord Kazama Toru who was supposed to save, and when he was still disembarking, he maliciously sent Jiu Xinnai the promise he had made. I forgot about the huge amount of money I spent, and I took the overlord boat once and drove away!

On land, on the way back to Konoha from Yuno Country, Toutora Kazama was still trying to escape, although they all failed, it was still quite annoying!
But even so, Sakaki endured it. He is usually a guy who usually takes the most brutal measures to solve troubles, and is not stingy with killing people!From this, it can be seen how determined he is to make Kazama Toruko a sacrifice, even if he changes someone else!
Jiu Xinnai also felt this determination, and was moved!But, it's really not good!On this issue, all the way up to now, she tried to communicate with Sakaki on this issue, but unfortunately she was either interrupted every time, or Sakaki left suddenly, obviously she didn't want to talk about this issue!

She had no choice but to put this question aside for the time being, and looked at the densely packed masks hanging on the front wall.

"White hair, sharp teeth, big fleshy nose, double horns..."

In the ghoul seal scroll, there are no illustrations, only the relevant text introduction of the mask of death. Jiu Xinnai used this as a standard to find the mask of death from among the dazzling multitude of masks, but...

"Aren't they all the same?"

Jiu Xinnai is 'blind', all the masks in front of her eyes are almost exactly the same, even if the subtleties are slightly different, but they can almost be introduced in the text, it feels like each one is a death mask, how does she choose?
At critical moments, everything still depends on Sakaki.

"This is it!"

Sakaki flashed back and forth, and accurately took away the middle mask in the third row from the right, which was the Grim Reaper mask.

"Sakaki, how did you know?"

"Of course I know. During the Nine-Tails incident, I saw the appearance of the Grim Reaper! If it wasn't for the Grim Reaper's trouble, I wouldn't have been forced into Minato's body!"

When Sakaki said this, Jiu Xinnai was also greatly moved, recalling that day, it was the day when everything around her changed dramatically, but it was precisely because of this that she embarked on a strange journey that was once unimaginable.

However, as of today, this journey is finally coming to an end!

With determination, Jiu Xinnai tried to persuade Sakaki from another aspect: "Sakaki, according to the unblocking method records, the process of unblocking must be voluntary, otherwise the god of death will not be summoned, so..."

"Yes, that's right, I won't cooperate even if I die, don't even think about it..."

"Shut up, there is no room for you to speak here!"

Sakaki kicked directly, Kazama Tehu, who was shouting very vigorously, his eyes turned white, he fainted on the ground, and finally calmed down!
"I've thought about this a long time ago, it's very simple, just find someone from the mountain clan to control him!"

"This……"

Seeing that Sakaki was so thoughtful, Jiu Xinnai didn't know what to say, suddenly her heart moved.

"So, what about the people from the mountain clan?"

"I'll go find it, wait for me to come back!"

"Yes, I know!"

Sakaki looked at Jiu Xinnai, and when he turned around, there was a dignified expression on his face that rarely appeared on him.

After Sakaki left, Jiu Xinnai silently looked at the death mask in his hand, it seemed that there was a faint call from Minato.

She was very moved in her heart, and she also had some unspeakable fears about what Sakaki had done, not because of Sakaki itself, but because of her uncontrollable beating heart.

Even if everything has been said, it should be over, it should be like this!

But she still felt that there was an emotion chasing her, her heart seemed to want to escape, but she always couldn't help but want to stick to it, this feeling terrified her, especially when all this was found in front of Minato!
Yes, right in front of Minato, who was behind the death mask, looking at her deeply, without blaming or encouraging, just so calm, so calm that she almost trembled all over.

She is very afraid, afraid of the pursuit of certain emotions and her own changes, so she has to escape... Just run away like this... Escape is the best choice...

forgive me!
The death mask slowly approached Jiu Xinnai's face, bit by bit!

Sakaki rushed towards the family's mansion in the mountains, and ran into Sarutobi on the way.Sarutobi consciously took Sakaki to talk to no one.

"Sakaki, didn't you leave Konoha? Why did you come back suddenly? What is your purpose?"

"Don't bother me, I'm busy!"

"Hmph, no matter what conspiracy you have against Konoha, with me Sarutobi here, I will never let you succeed!"

"It's so troublesome!" Sakaki really wanted to fight Sarutobi, but it's fine now, as long as he spoke very quickly, he briefly explained the whole story, "...I'm looking for the mountain clan now. Those who help to release the imprisonment of Minato's soul, that's it!"

"Is what you said true?"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you waste my time again, be careful that I will go crazy!"

"Since that's the case, let me help too. Minato is a hero who died for the sake of the village. If I can help Minato, I, Hokage, have a duty to do it!"

With Sarutobi in charge, things are naturally much simpler, and there is no need for the expected coercion and temptation. The Yamanaka Clan sent the strongest Yamanaka Kaiichi to undertake this task.

Back to Namian Hall.

What Sakaki saw was Jiu Xinnai wearing a death mask.

"Sakaki, I'm sorry!"

Jiu Xinnai's eyes through the mask were extremely crystal clear, reflecting the reflection of the sakaki tree, with deep apology in the tears.

Sakaki's expression remained unchanged, only his eyes were deeply closed.

He wasn't too surprised by this scene, because before he left just now, when he left Jiu Xinnai alone, and didn't specifically instruct the dog, he had already realized that this was nothing more than a choice between the two That's all, and then Jiu Xinnai also made a choice, nothing surprising!
Perhaps, this is fate!
Jiu Xinnai sealed, and in an instant, an aura with a profound meaning of death enveloped the entire Namian Hall. This is the aura from the god of death who is about to come to this world.

"This is..." Sarutobi and Yamanaka Kaiichi, who were shrouded in terror, stared wide-eyed, but unfortunately they couldn't see anything!
Sakaki opened his eyes, but also saw nothing, and after a while, still saw nothing!

It shouldn't be, isn't it that the god of death hasn't come yet?Or, this body does not have the blood of the evil god, so the figure of the god of death cannot be seen?
The terrifying atmosphere became more and more serious, and Jiu Xinnai's expression became more and more painful.

"How... ah..."

After an unbearable scream, Jiu Xinnai's body, like a piece of broken leather, fell limply on the ground, and the mask naturally fell to the ground, revealing the face with eyes tightly closed and extremely pale His face seemed to be dead!
Could it be that this is the end of everything?
