Senior Brother of Konoha

"###"

Naruto heard a strange sound, and at first he thought it was an hallucination caused when his mind was eroded by resentment.

But if I think about it carefully, if that was really the case, I shouldn't have been able to have this idea in the first place.

It is difficult for a person who is sleeping to realize that he is dreaming, and similarly, a person who is trapped in a hallucination will not know that he is in a hallucination.

As the strange sound became clearer and clearer, the cold and tearing feeling in Naruto's body became weaker and weaker, finally reaching the point where it was imperceptible.

At this time, he could also distinguish the meaning of those strange sounds, "Yummy, delicious, great tonic for resentment."

It's the nine-tailed fox

Naruto realized something was wrong. He looked down at his chest. The ramen was lying flat on his chest, motionless and seemed lifeless.

It's not ramen, it's the true form of the nine-tailed demon fox.

Naruto was shocked, and then shouted in panic: "Hey nine-tailed demon fox, how did you escape, what did you do to me?"

Although he was brave enough, he was still only 12 years old after all. When he suddenly encountered this situation, it was good enough that he didn't wet his pants in fear. It was normal to scream a few times.

The screams were reflected by the walls of the stone chamber, and then mixed with the weird devouring sounds of the nine-tailed demon fox. They merged into a terrifying and inexplicable sound. When it reached Naruto's ears, it only increased the fear in his heart.

After about half a stick of incense, the sound of the nine-tailed demon fox's devouring quietly disappeared, leaving only Naruto's suppressed breathing and rapid heartbeat in the stone chamber.

In the light of the torches dancing on the floor, he looked around and could only see the blue blood stains, but couldn't find anything else that could give him a sense of security.

At this moment, he saw something strange out of the corner of his eye.

The soul-carrying spirit bead in his hand lost its original dark and terrifying light at some point and turned into an ordinary bead.

He carefully tested it with his fingers, and quickly retracted his fingers before the real feeling came in, and then slowly realized the feeling just now.

Cold, ice cold, but not the cold and numb feeling like electricity before, just the most ordinary temperature, no different from touching the ground.

After touching it again for a little longer, he finally confirmed that the soul-bearing spirit bead no longer contained the resentment that could corrode his sanity, and turned back into a slightly magical bead.

Maybe this is its original appearance.

Naruto thought this, and then thought: The nine-tailed demon fox said it was delicious, delicious, and replenished the resentment. It must be because it is a demon fox that can feed on resentment that human practitioners cannot see with the naked eye, and transfer the souls to it. All the resentment originally contained in the pearl was eaten up, and at the same time, it also swallowed up the last remaining sanity of Hirabayashi Keiji in this world.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the "huge true energy contained in the Soul-Residing Spirit Beads" that Ramen had mentioned before when he was talking to him about the Soul-Residing Spirit Beads.

Damn it, this damn nine-tailed demon fox also ate my true energy.

Reluctantly, he grasped the soul-residing spirit bead into his palm and poured his spiritual consciousness into it. Except for a vague and strange suction force, he could feel nothing else.

There is no resentment, no real energy, only an empty box left.

Naruto was very disappointed.

But the next moment, a bead rolled out of Sasuke's pocket attracted his attention, making all his disappointment disappear.

It was a bead about the size of a goose egg. The outside was smooth and round, and the color was blue, brighter and more lively than the color of the sea.

Looking further inside, it seems that there are countless indistinguishable blue water droplets swaying back and forth, shuttling, and cruising inside, which is very beautiful to look at.

The most important thing is that he seemed to feel the power from the trickles of water droplets that were sometimes subtle, sometimes grand, sometimes quiet, and sometimes surging. The powerful force mixed with gentleness and violence gave him a kind of power that could easily destroy him. The mighty power of heaven and earth.

Further inside, there is a mass of something the size of a fingertip, emitting a light blue soft light, similar to ice crystals.

It was difficult for Naruto to use accurate words to describe this mass of things. Whether it was strength, spirituality, or even wisdom, it was not enough to describe its full picture.

In short, the sight of that thing makes people greedy, and they are completely unable to resist the urge to take it as their own.

"This, this is"

Naruto's face turned red, his lips trembled to the point where he couldn't speak a complete sentence, and his heartbeat was so intense that he would faint at any time.

"This is the True Water Orb, idiot"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded in Naruto's ears, scaring him so much that he almost hit the ceiling of the stone room.

Fortunately, he could tell who the voice belonged to in the next moment. He didn't know when he recovered from his unconscious state and jumped to the ramen on his shoulder.

This gave Naruto the urge to press the ramen to the ground and rub it.

"You guy, you are useless at critical moments, and you come out to scare me after everything is over."

Naruto scolded.

However, this was just a subconscious complaint, and he did not really blame Ramen. After all, he also knew that the body of the nine-tailed demon fox that had just eaten the remnant soul of Keiji Hirabayashi in the Soul Orb must be the same as Ramen who suddenly passed out. related.

"Um"

Sasuke, who was tightly tied up, let out a muffled groan and moved, as if showing signs of waking up.

"Hide the True Water Orb quickly, idiot"

Ramen scoffed as he directed Naruto.

Naruto hesitated for a moment, then quickly bent down and copied the True Water Orb into his dimensional bag.

The aura of the True Water Orb is so powerful that it can easily be discovered or accidentally dropped just by putting it in your pocket.

But if it's put into a dimensional bag, there won't be any problem.

No one can sense other people's magic weapons or items through the dimensional bag, provided that their own strength is not too bad and is no worse than the strength of the party who made the sense.

Naruto was in this situation now, but he didn't have time to think about it, everything was just instinctive.

The ramen jumped off Naruto's shoulder and gave Sasuke a hard cat's claw on the temple.

Sasuke let out another grunt before passing out for the second time.

"Why are you torturing him at this time?"

Naruto asked curiously.

Ramen rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Naruto, why did you become so stupid today? Is it because you took stupid medicine or was pinched on the forehead?"

"what"

Naruto yelped softly, rubbing the back of his head at a loss.

"Oh, there's really nothing we can do about you." Ramen sighed, and then asked: "Naruto, don't you want to know where the huge amount of true energy hidden in the Soul-Bearing Spirit Orb has gone?"
