Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

The lowest level of tailed beast consciousness.

"...Just like what the Nine Lamas promised, if I have the ability, I will definitely save you from the seal, how about it?"

Naruto sat on Kyuubi's head and asked Shukaku across from him.

"Sounds interesting." Shouhe rubbed his chin with his paw, and said with great interest.

"Ku Lama, your jinchūriki is quite interesting."

"You don't want to see whose Jinjuriki is." Kurama snorted disdainfully.

"Then let's do this for now." Naruto nodded slightly, "You two might as well get to know each other better. In fact, strictly speaking, you are both victims."

"Cut!" Shuhe glanced his head aside.

"Let's go, Kurama!" Naruto smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

This is the deepest part of the tailed beast's mind, and it was through this place that Kurama and Shukaku communicated during the second exam.

And this spiritual space is also one of the basis for Naruto to establish his long-cherished wish.

Relying on the ability to communicate regardless of distance, Naruto had full confidence in establishing his long-cherished wish.

Of course, the difficulty of using this spiritual space is not small.

Luckily for the tailed beasts, this is their own communication place, and there is no difficulty in entering it.

But for the jinchuriki, it is a big challenge.

The challenge is difficult to say, and it is not difficult to say that it is easy. There is only one thing - trust each other without reservation.

Because this space is the deepest part of the hearts and souls of the tailed beasts, and there is no deep emotion between them. Even if the tailed beasts want to bring you in, you can't come in.

But it's just right for Naruto, and it can just be used as a screening criterion.

One is because if the same-tailed beast has deep emotions, no matter how poor its aptitude is, its strength will not be much worse;

The second reason is more about the concept. If the concept is difficult to get close, even if an organization is forcibly created, it will still be a mess, a mess where each fights its own way.

People who can establish friendship with tailed beasts are born with the idea of ​​​​according to their long-cherished wishes.

outside world.

Naruto opened his eyes and said to Gaara: "If you have time, you might as well communicate with Shuzuru more. Compared with anyone, your relationship is closer."

If Gaara cannot establish a friendship with Shukaku, then his long-cherished wish that has not yet been established can be declared bankrupt.

But he believed in Gaara and believed that his vision would not be bad.

Gaara is a person with Shura qualifications.

"I see." Gaara nodded slightly.

Now that he has made a decision, no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, he will continue on.

"Your teammates are coming." Feeling the two waves of chakra approaching not far away, Naruto suddenly said, "I hope the next time I see you is not so far away."

He didn't say anything about mind space.

A friendship based on interests is not what he wants to see.

A gust of wind swept past, and Naruto's figure disappeared into the yellow sand.

Just when Gaara was still thinking about what Naruto meant when he left, Temari and Kankuro came quickly from a distance and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was not missing any arms or legs.

"Let's go!" Without saying a word, the two men directly picked him up.

If they are caught up by Konoha's ninjas, it is still unknown whether they can escape.

Feeling the breeze blowing by my ears, recalling the conversation just now, Gaara said softly:

"Thank you, Temari, Kankuro..."

"..." Temari and Kankuro looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"It's okay, we are relatives." Temari said.

"Not dead, are you?" Naruto pulled Shikamaru out of the branch and woke him up.

"Yeah, I can't die yet!" Shikamaru said weakly.

"That's fine." Naruto helped him to the shade, "I'll go find the others."

After the previous battle, Naruto suddenly discovered that he could clearly sense other people's chakra.

I don't know if it's because of the deeper fusion with Nine-Tails' Chakra or what.

His brain is like a radar, able to accurately perceive a considerable range of chakra sources. He currently does not have a clear idea of ​​how large this range is.

But one thing is for sure, it is very easy to find a few people in this area.

Fang half buried in the mud, plum hanging from a tree, Sasuke lying on a pile of trees and unable to move...

"So, is our mission a success or a failure?" Ya asked slightly weakly, leaning on the stone.

"Leave it to the village to judge." Naruto pulled off his tattered top.

"Hiss, do you feel no pain?"

Several people looked at him in disbelief, obviously everyone was in the range of the explosion, so why did he act like a normal person.

"Fortunately." Naruto also felt a little lucky in his heart, if the damage suffered was heavier, the shadow clone might not be able to sustain it, and Shikamaru and others would have suffered.

As for pain, he could not count the number of times he died in his last life. After many deaths, he also came to a conclusion:

As long as the injury is not fatal, it is a minor injury.

What's more, the current body is still a shadow clone, and death is not a big deal.

"Hey, it looks like it's over."

Several people looked up and saw Kakashi who was covered in scars standing on a boulder, looking at them with smiling eyes.

"Mr. Kakashi, how is the situation in the village?" Shikamaru asked.

"It's over, don't worry." Kakashi smiled.

"You guys did a good job." He looked towards the battlefield not far away.

The sound of the fighting here can be clearly felt by them as far away as Konoha.

"Mr. Kakashi, I am mainly responsible for letting the sand hidden team escape." Shikamaru got up and said, he is the team leader of this operation, and he should bear the responsibility.

"No, you guys did a great job." Kakashi shook his head.

A battle of this level, even a jonin would not be able to please him, so how could he be so demanding on a group of children.

"I came here in an emergency, so I couldn't bring a few medical ninjas with me. I'm sorry." Kakashi apologized.

"Son, I apologize to you for my previous reckless judgment. You are better than anyone else in respecting and protecting your companions." Kakashi walked up to Naruto and bowed deeply.

Everyone looked at this scene in doubt, but Shikamaru, who knew something about the grievances between the two, smiled knowingly.

"It's okay." Naruto shook his head. After so many strong winds and waves, such a small thing was really not worthy of being remembered by him.

"Let's go back to the village!"

Kakashi slowly squatted down in front of him.

Naruto looked at his back with a question mark on his face, and moved slightly outward.

Does he look like someone who can't walk?

"Maybe Sasuke needs help more than me." Naruto pointed at Sasuke who had lost the ability to move.

When he found Sasuke, most of Sasuke's body was covered with strange black lines, and Chakra also gave him a very dark and obscure feeling.

If he hadn't transmitted some chakra in time, Sasuke might have stopped.

"Oh, really?" Kakashi scratched his head and smiled, then turned around and carried his dear disciple on his back.

A group of people walked towards Konoha slowly.
