Senior Brother of Konoha

The torches flickered on and off, there were gusts of wind around me, and ghostly roars came from nowhere from time to time, making this stone room with statues and wells look like a ghostland.

It was under such circumstances that Naruto and others listened to the story of Keiji Hirabayashi, who was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and gradually understood how this old man, whose body was about to be destroyed, spent his time in this ruins. It took decades.

According to legend, Hirabayashi Keiji took the initiative to stay in the ruins of the Land of Waves for the sake of the True Water Orb.

In fact, this legend is wrong. It is impossible for a normal person to actively stay in a place like the ruins of the Kingdom of Waves because of a magic weapon.

You know, not only are there dangers here, but there is also the danger of losing your life at any time.

More importantly, when the magic circle is closed, those powerful spiritual beasts will enter the ruins from the siphon mouth of the maelstrom and massacre all human practitioners who want to stay and take risks in the ruins.

Almost all human practitioners who venture into the Wave Ruins will know this, but no one knows the true face of those so-called powerful spiritual beasts.

Coupled with the strange phenomenon that many human practitioners disappear here every year without leaving any traces, this has deepened people's fear of those powerful spiritual beasts.

Hirabayashi Keiji is also a normal person. He has heard such rumors and has the fear of normal people. No matter how greedy he is, he will not risk his life for a heaven-level magic weapon and stay in this extremely strange and terrifying place. Ghost place.

He was stranded in the ruins of the Kingdom of Waves because of an accident, or in other words, it was premeditated, but it was not his own premeditation, but premeditated by others.

More than 60 years ago, Dehirabayashi Keiji was still the head of the Spiritual Beast Sect, and he was considered a man of great influence in the world.

That year, the Kingdom of Waves ruins magic array was opened, because a magic weapon was needed. At that time, the resources of the Kingdom of Waves ruins were quite abundant, and many magic weapons and artifacts left by ancient immortals were unearthed one after another. , so he took more than 10 close disciples into the ruins of the Kingdom of Waves.

The initial exploration went very smoothly, and I kept getting all kinds of genius treasures, magic weapons and artifacts. Although there were not any high-grade items among them, it was still quite rewarding.

On the fourth day, Hirabayashi Keiji did not find the magic weapon he wanted, but he was not too persistent and wanted to leave the ruins of the Land of Waves with the current harvest.

The reason why he had such an idea, in addition to his own character, was also related to the rumors he received before entering the ruins of the Land of Waves.

There are rumors that he is going to be assassinated in the ruins of the Land of Waves.

Although he is not weak in strength and is not too worried about such baseless rumors, the ruins of the Land of Waves are not a good place, and there is no need for him to stay here and take risks.

At this time, one of his favorite disciples suggested to him that there was a temple among the ruins of the ancient immortals on the island in the center of the lake, and that the well in the temple was very likely to contain a true water orb.

When Keiji Hirabayashi heard the news, he was slightly moved, but he had to take into account the powerful sea beasts hiding in the lake, and was worried that his disciples would not be able to pass, so he was unwilling to take risks.

Then another of his favorite disciples suggested to him that he could join forces with the Blood Mist Sect to explore the temple together and share the harvest in the temple equally.

At that time, this temple had not been explored by anyone. I heard that the materials inside were very rich and valuable for exploration.

And at that time, although the reputation of the Blood Mist Sect was terrible, it was not to the point of being unscrupulous and without integrity.

As long as both parties make an agreement, the disciples of the Blood Mist Sect will definitely abide by it.

Then, with the encouragement of other disciples, he finally agreed to the suggestion and decided to join forces with the Blood Mist Sect to explore the temple.

However, when a group of them finally broke through the outer perimeter of the temple and entered the interior of the temple, an accident happened. The disciples of the Blood Mist Sect who were supposed to abide by the agreement and join forces with them suddenly took action against him, using all their strength. He was assassinated by various means.

However, he was in his prime at that time, and there were no masters among the disciples of the Blood Mist Sect who worked with him. He was not very afraid of their sneak attacks and fought with them very confidently.

And just when he defeated all the disciples of the Blood Mist Sect and proudly showed off his achievements to his disciples, his disciples who were deeply favored by him took action against him at the same time.

Unprepared, he was immediately severely injured by his disciples, almost to the point of dying.

Fortunately, he had a special way to save his life and never revealed it to those disciples.

So even though he was seriously injured at that time, he still had a chance to fight back.

But he did not fight back immediately. Instead, he begged for mercy and wanted to understand why his disciples attacked him.

Afterwards, those disciples who were deeply favored by him proudly revealed the truth to him.

It turned out that those disciples were dissatisfied with his harsh treatment of them and took the initiative to contact the killers of the Blood Mist Sect. They worked together to assassinate and attack him, and then divided up the massive wealth he had accumulated over the past hundred years.

Only then did Hirabayashi realize that it was not outsiders who wanted to assassinate him in the previous rumors, but his disciples.

However, he also understood that his character was too greedy and stingy. Even these close disciples who had been with him for many years and were deeply loved by him did not actually gain much benefit from him.

In addition, for more than 100 years, he relied on the reputation of the Spiritual Beast Sect to collect wealth from various places, and continued to seduce those disciples who were inherently unstable, which led to today's catastrophe.

Understandably, Hirabayashi Keiji was still unwilling to be killed by a sneak attack by his disciples. He was even more unwilling to have his wealth over the years divided among his disciples.

Therefore, he also took advantage of the disciples' glory to attack them secretly, and finally killed 13 of the 12 people, leaving only the last one to escape from the temple.

At this time, he himself was also very seriously injured, and he did not dare to go out of the temple and confront the escaped address and the Blood Mist Sect disciples who stayed by the lake.

Therefore, he could only drag his injured body into the depths of the temple.

The depths of the temple are not safe. He was chased by some strange sea beasts along the way. He used all means to save his life. In the end, he could only close his eyes and wait for death when he found a well. He was forced to jump into the well and accidentally discovered Only by obtaining the True Water Orb and the soul-transmitting spirit bead that could use the soul-transmitting technique, could he save his life.

.

When the story came to this point, Hirabayashi Keiji completely lost his mind and began to attack Kakashi and his party crazily.
