Naruto: Spirit of Life

"revenge!"

Naruto still remembers what he said when he introduced himself to Kakashi after being grouped together with Sasuke.

"That's right, his whole family was killed. The reason why he left Konoha was because there was no one in Konoha to help him get stronger. Especially when you saw that his strength could not progress, you worshiped him. I took Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, as my teacher and became stronger and stronger, have you ever considered this?"

Naruto's expression immediately fell at Maya's words.

"That is to say, the consequences of you forcibly bringing Sasuke back will be imprisonment. He will watch your back for the rest of his life and live in confusion. This is more uncomfortable for him than death."

Maya's words made Naruto beat his head in annoyance.

"...I, I never thought of this, Maya, it's just like you said, I'm going too far!"

Naruto took Sasuke's place and thought about it, how it felt when Jiraiya, Iruka, Maya, Tsunade and others died in front of his eyes. He forgot what Sasuke was carrying.

"Cheer up, Naruto!"

Maya patted Naruto on the back and said with a smile: "Although you are not around now, you are still looking at the same sky, it's just that the two places are temporarily separated. People always feel empty after completing their revenge. What about the two of you? It’s time to sit down and have a chat.”

Maya's words cleared away the gloom in Naruto's heart. The shadow of Sasuke's departure and the lifelong request left by Sakura at that time made him feel relieved. He knew what he should do next, become stronger, become stronger. Stronger, couldn't let Sasuke throw him away.

Maya then left Naruto's house. After resting for a whole day, and after tidying up everything the next day, Maya used psychic skills in the yard to summon a small clone the size of a slug's palm, explaining that she had summoned a slug. s reason.

"Senjutsu, did Tsunade-sama tell you so early? No problem, Maya-sama, do you have anything to bring? I will take you to Shigu Forest."

The voice of the slug lying on Maya's shoulder was still so gentle.

"I'm ready, please, Lord Slug!"

"Wait a minute, don't go!"

As soon as Maya finished speaking, she heard Tsunade's furious voice, followed by Sakura.

"Master, Sakura, what are you doing???"

Maya asked with a confused look on her face.

"I am a shadow clone now, and I asked Sakura to try it with you to see if I can practice magic."

Tsunade explained the purpose of her visit, and the panting Sakura said hello, which surprised Maya. Did Tsunade actually ask Sakura to come over and give it a try? But I'm afraid the main reason was to let Sakura meet the slug.

"Brother Maya, I'm sorry, it's troublesome!"

Sakura's name for Maya also changed, and Maya also smiled politely. Slug took him, Sakura, and Tsunade's shadow clones to the wet bone forest.

Shitbone Forest, just like its name, Maya, Sakura came to Shitbone Forest for the first time and felt her scalp numb. The bones-like trees and blue maple leaves stood tall with a dreamy and blurred feeling. In front of Maya and others,

The white mist covered the bones-like woods in front of them, and there was an unknown feeling and an indescribable fear.

"It's just ahead, Maya-sama, Sakura, don't worry."

The slug got down from Maya's shoulder, moved forward, and walked into the weird forest of bones in front of it.

Maya and Sakura felt a little frightened in their hearts. To be honest, they had thought about what the Shimogun Forest looked like for a long time, but when they really saw the Shimogun Forest, they realized how outrageous and terrifying it was.

If Miaomu Mountain in Maya's memory from her previous life was like a paradise, then the wet bone forest in front of her was like a hell of bones, with the bones-like trees, the smooth and clean roads, and the ever-present heavy fog.

"Master Slug, I'm sorry, but may I ask, are these trees really bones?"

Sakura couldn't hold back the curiosity and fear in her heart and couldn't help but ask.

Slug replied: "Yes, these bones are all left by the enemies who wanted to kill us more than a thousand years ago. It was originally a normal forest. Their corpses all have the chakra of magic and the dust left behind." A few years later, it grew into the wet bone forest it is today."

"Master Slug, do you actually want to fight?"

Sakura said in disbelief.

"That's right, I was the only one left at that time. If some adults hadn't saved me and helped me kill all the enemies, I might have been eaten too, not to mention the current Shigu Forest. exists.”

Slug sounds a little excited!

Sakura was even more surprised: "More than a thousand years ago, there was such a long history!"

Maya looked at the dense wet bone forest in confusion. These forests were all left by previous enemies. So how many people died! Only then can such a large wet bone forest be formed.

"Who is your lord, Shaflin?"

Now that she has adapted to the environment, Maya is not as nervous as she was at the beginning, she couldn't help but think.

Slug has been walking in the wet bone forest with everyone for more than ten minutes. The visibility of the wet bone forest is only more than ten meters. Without the guidance of the slug, we will definitely get lost, not to mention the fog released by the slug itself. Every movement is in the slug's eyes.

The nearby wet bone forest disappeared, and the slug faced Maya. Sakura explained: "Next, as long as you walk through this road of bones, you can reach the depths of the wet bone forest."

"Road of Bones..."

This ranking does not feel good at first sight. Coupled with the trees with white bones and neat blue leaves on both sides, and the white mist filling the sky, the entire wet bone forest is filled with a terrifying and gloomy atmosphere.

Walking on the long road paved with bones, Sakura was so frightened that she went berserk. Maya quickly adapted to the road of bones, and Tsunade had seen it a lot, so she was used to it.

When we reached the end of the Bone Road, there was a silver energy barrier, and we couldn't see what was inside. If you didn't get the permission of the slug, you couldn't enter this barrier, and your body would be dissolved.

hum!

Maya, Sakura, and Tsunade entered the barrier along with the slug.

The light was dazzling, causing Maya and Sakura to cover their eyes subconsciously. The world inside the barrier of the Shiggy Bone Forest was completely different from just now.

The mountains, rivers and waterfalls, the clear sky, the new green leaves, the lawn at the feet, and the wet bone forest just outside are in stark contrast.

Maya, Sakura, and Tsunade noticed a towering body in the distance, with a length of more than a thousand meters. That was the body of the slug. Even the mountains that Maya had seen before were not as big as the body of the slug in front of her.

"So huge!"

Sakura stared blankly at the slug's body, completely frightened.

"Maya-sama, Tsunade-sama, Sakura, welcome to the Shiggou Forest!"

The familiar and gentle voice of the slug's huge, oppressive body brought Sakura back to her senses.
