Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

Incomplete and dilapidated, Konoha today is full of the smell of gunpowder smoke after the war.

The crying of a woman, the soft comfort of a man, the ignorance of a child...

Ji Xiao looked at this scene in a daze. Is this still the Konoha they know?

"This is war." Kakashi's tone was calm. This kind of calmness is the expression of extreme aversion to something and no longer having any emotions.

Shikamaru and the others looked thoughtful, as if they had a deeper understanding of 'war', the term they had longed for.

Strategizing and winning thousands of miles, the weight of iron blood and meritorious deeds seems to make them ignore that death and parting are the main theme of war.

Watching Kakashi take several people to the hospital for treatment, Naruto walked slowly towards his place of residence.

Perhaps because of his status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the relief room arranged for him by the village was not in a superior location, but it was still relatively close to the center of the village.

So this war did not affect his place of residence.

Shadow clone Naruto gently opened the door, looked at the main body in the room, and asked:

"did you find it?"

Naruto shook his head lightly. Although the location Yao Shidou mentioned contained a lot of important information, it was not what he wanted.

"Get ready, the pressure might be a bit high this time." Shadow clone said softly.

Although the effect of shadow clones is powerful, the side effects are not small. As the number of clones increases, the burden on the main body also increases.

Fortunately, he was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, otherwise his body would have collapsed long ago if he used shadow clones so frequently.

"Hmm..." Naruto's face turned pale. Although he had estimated the pressure from the avatar this time, to be honest, it was a bit beyond his expectation.

Normally, the chakra a shadow clone bears will not exceed its original body, so no matter how it is created, the burden it places on the original body will be within the tolerance range.

But this time, due to the chakra support of the Nine Lamas, the chakra consumed by the shadow clone doubled without anyone knowing, and the pressure generated naturally increased with it.

【Fortunately, my main body didn't do any major things. 】

For a long time, Naruto whispered in his heart.

His so-called perverted physical fitness can hardly bear it. It is conceivable how much pressure the shadow clone will exert this time.

But it's not incomprehensible. He ran all the way, fought several times, exhausted his chakra several times, and in the end, he even rubbed a tailed beast jade under the guidance of the Nine Lamas.

His shadow clone didn't dissipate directly, so it can be said that it is full of resilience.

In the mental space, Naruto complained to the big guy in front of him:

"Nine Lamas, this time I'm having a bit of fun."

"Your physical fitness is too poor. You have only received as much strength as I have, and you can't hold it anymore." The Kurama looked at Renzhuli under him with a look of disgust.

He had never encountered a Jinchuuriki with such poor physical fitness.

Whether it was the first jinchūriki Uzumaki Mito or the second-generation Uzumaki Kyuuna, that pervert didn't force him into a sealed space and forcefully extract his chakra.

This third generation Renzhuli is directly Waterloo.

He has filtered out the negative emotions in the chakra. Compared with the previous two generations of Jinzhuli, the pressure is unprecedentedly small, and he can afford such a little strength. How can he hold up the fox's head in front of other tailed beasts when he speaks out.

"...I know, I will increase the amount of physical training in the next time." Naruto couldn't help but cover his face.

It's really his fault.

But what can he do? This body is only twelve years old, and he doesn't dare to make an overly heavy training plan to avoid affecting the development of this body.

Give him another three years, no, two years, and he will be sure to carry the weight of Nine-Tails Chakra.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. As my Jinchuuriki and a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, can I have some confidence in my body's ability to withstand it?" Nine Lamas didn't know what to say.

Whether it is the identity of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki or the identity of the descendants of the Uzumaki clan, that cannot support Naruto to carry out overload training.

"Descendant of the Uzumaki clan?" Naruto was stunned. He was naturally familiar with Uzumaki. After all, it was his surname.

But it was the first time he heard that his surname was still a common surname.

"Your father is the fourth Hokage after all. As the wife of the fourth Hokage, your mother, how can her status be mediocre?" Jiu Lama said.

"...Really." Naruto nodded slightly.

"By the way, are you able to communicate with my shadow clone remotely?" Naruto asked, remembering the help of the Nine Lamas during the battle with the same tail.

"Didn't I tell your shadow clone?" Jiulama snorted, "This is called Ninja Sect."

"Ninzu?"

"When the old man of the Six Paths was dying, he distributed his chakra to the world. His original intention was to use chakra as a medium to promote mutual understanding, mutual friendship, and peace between people..." Nine Lamas explained.

"Six Paths Sage?" Naruto asked in surprise.

He is familiar with this Immortal of Six Paths. He is a frequent visitor to mythological stories in this world. He is named in nine out of ten mythological novels.

"Yes." Nine Tails gently nodded the fox's head.

"When Old Man Six Paths was alive, and even for a long time to come, Ninja Sect was the mainstream."

"It's just that as time goes by, the trust between people becomes more and more fragile, until one day, you humans voluntarily cut off this connection."

Naruto nodded slightly. One of the two major components of chakra is spiritual energy. If used as a communication medium, it may be better than language.

He did not judge the initiative to cut off the direct connection with chakra, that is, to give up the ninja sect.

Looking back at the past from the era he lived in, he might feel that it was wrong to give up Ninzong.

But he can only look at this unsolved problem. Behind this problem are thousands of problems that have been solved by giving up the ninja sect.

Land, food, drinking water, minerals...

The limited nature of resources, driven by the infinite desires of human beings, is bound to cause problems of one kind or another.

Couldn't the human beings of that era see the benefits of the ninja sect?

how is this possible.

Wisdom may be improved due to the accumulation of time, but IQ will not.

Abandoning the Ninja School may be the final choice made due to one or another problem.

[In this case, the Nine Lamas are fully capable of serving as a signal transfer station. 】

Naruto looked at the big fox in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Low-latency, high-efficiency information transmission, plus the mobile charging treasure that Jiu Lama can also serve as a shadow clone, gave him too much room for maneuvering.

"What's your look?" Jiulama's fox fur twitched. This look made the fox unhappy.

"Oh! Nothing, nothing..."

Naruto said with a smile.
