Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

Are you kidding me? Excitement is excitement. If I fail, my life will be gone. The light I finally got will turn into a dream!

It is true that I, Lin Ruoshui, have ambitions, but living is the prerequisite for realizing my ambitions!

"Orochimaru, regarding Hashirama cell transplantation or genetic modification, I will give you an answer as soon as possible. You have worked hard on the journey, so please rest early..."

Ruoshui stood up and walked out the door.

Orochimaru looked at Ruoshui's back, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: It seems that his life is at stake, even Lord Zhisui must think twice before taking action, but I believe that you will give me a 'satisfactory' answer...

After the fierce battle, Takigakure was like a crying baby, hiding in the quilt woven by the night and falling asleep quietly.

Ruoshui walked on the deserted street and experienced his first difficult decision after traveling to the world of Naruto.

Only Hashirama's cells can continue the light of other gods, but Hashirama's cells involve two paths: 'transplantation' and 'transgenic'.

These two paths do not overlap, and he must choose between them!

By choosing transplantation, you can immediately achieve the freedom of other gods, but it will no longer be possible to obtain power comparable to the ninja god Senju Hashirama. Even if there are other ways to increase power in the future, what you lose is the loss of the ceiling of his strength. ', will be permanently restricted!

In the long run, the path of genetic modification is the right one, and Ruoshui knows it very well.

But for a blind person who has just gained light, it is not an easy task to weigh the hard-won light and the future that has not yet been achieved on the scale!

At least... if water can't be so crisp.

The protagonists in many novels are willing to risk almost death to accept a certain inheritance. It is called courage, as if they know that they are the chosen ones, and everything is just a formality to upgrade!

In Ruoshui's opinion, that was nonsense, absolute nonsense.

Those protagonists are no different from the guys who climb up to the rooftop after losing their bets in real life. The former are lucky gamblers, nothing more.

The reality is, how easy is it to give up everything you have?

Unless absolutely necessary, who is willing to risk his or her life and fortune?

So what if the risk and reward are directly proportional? The bargaining chip is not dispensable money, but life!

“I thought transplantation would solve everything, but here comes a genetically modified gene that is dozens of times more risky!”

Wakasui irritably kicked the pebbles in front of him into the water in front of Takitsubo Falls.

thump!

The sound of pebbles falling into the water made Itachi, who was sitting on the top of the mountain above the waterfall, looking at the moon, and looked over: "Shisui..."

Swish!

Ruoshui stepped on the mountain wall, jumped over the waterfall, landed next to Weasel, and asked with a smile: "Are you worried?"

Itachi said: "Aren't you the same?"

Ruoshui smiled and sat down next to Itachi: "Tell me, what are you thinking about."

Itachi raised his eyes to look at the moon sky and said melancholy: "In the past, we used to sit in the woods behind Uchiha and watch the moon together. Now the moon is still the same moon, but our hometown has become a foreign country..."

Itachi's eyes slowly lowered.

"Shisui, I'm thinking, are there really things that are permanent in this world?"

"..." Ruoshui was speechless for a moment.

Itachi said to himself: "After thinking about it, I gradually came to see the truth clearly. The only 'unchangeable' thing in this world is probably the thing that is 'changing'. I think back then, when Hashirama and Madara were blood allies, Konoha was founded, but with the flick of a finger, the Uchiha of Konoha became a thing of the past, and the covenant back then became empty talk."

"People always want to seize 'a certain fragment' in the endless changes and try to use human power to extend it infinitely. However, everyone knows that everything they do to extend it is also part of this fragment. In the end, people always live in vain persistence. middle……"

Having said this, Itachi was startled and looked at Ruoshui who was in a state of silence.

"Ah...I'm sorry Shisui, I have experienced too many things recently, which has given me some negative thoughts. At the moment when Uchiha is making a comeback, if I say such things, it will only make people more troubled, right?"

Ruoshui said: "No... what you said makes sense. I was just listening to it fascinated."

Is light also impermanent?No matter how much I continue to keep the light alive, will that light be lost one day?Is my desire to pursue light also a vain persistence?

This question flashed through Ruoshui's mind.

But then...

Oh, since attachment itself is false, then how can it be that being attached to non-attachment is another kind of falsehood?

Itachi... In terms of realm of life, you may be better, but I don't want to be the supreme enlightened being in the world of Naruto, I want to be the Holy King of Wheels!

Itachi's eyes were filled with worry: "Shisui... you must have summoned Orochimaru tonight."

In the cave after returning from Saigahara, Itachi once asked Wakasui about the content of the deal between him and Orochimaru. At that time, Wakasui only answered generally that it was to continue the power of other gods and protect Uchiha... but did not mention how. to continue.

Now...this sensitive issue has finally been officially put on the table.

Just when Ruoshui was thinking about how to reply, Itachi said: "Is it for... Senju Hashirama's cells?"

Ruoshui was surprised: "You know?"

Itachi: "I have some knowledge of the clan's history during the Warring States Period. The kaleidoscope that contains other gods can only gain true power through Hashirama cells."

He changed the topic: "But if just ordinary Hashirama cell transplantation can solve the problem, Shisui, you probably won't be worried..."

Ugh.

Ruoshui sighed secretly in his heart.

I really can't hide anything from you, Itachi.

In the same cave, Itachi once raised the issue of the 'contrast' before and after Shisui, but the idea of ​​a 'traveler' was too unbelievable after all. Even Itachi couldn't immediately think of the fact that there was someone living in Shisui's body who did not belong to this. The soul of the world can only stop water and jump down the Nanhe River. The brain suffered a certain impact, resulting in a personality contrast.

Or maybe... the Shisui he saw in the past was not everything. After all, human nature is complex.

If Shui Shui never thought that he was not Shisui's affair, and could keep it secret from Itachi, he could only delay the arrival of that day as much as possible, but assuming that Itachi knew the truth in the future, I really don't know...

Thinking of this...the urge to do something else to Itachi came to my mind!

"Itachi, look into my eyes..."

Itachi raised his eyes and met Ruoshui's gaze without warning.

The sincerity and gentleness in those eyes made Ruoshui's heart waver.

That sincerity and gentleness... actually point to 'Shisui', right?

But... this was the first time in Ruoshui's life that he caught such vivid 'emotions' from people's eyes. Even if those emotions were directed at the dead 'Shisui', Ruoshui felt compassion.

Giving up the idea of ​​using other gods, Ruoshui looked innocent: "Itachi, I am worried. Orochimaru gave me two plans, so I was about to discuss this matter with you..."

He ignored Hashirama's cell itself and his sensitivity to Itachi, and just said it openly.

"Uh..." Itachi was a little confused and thought to himself: Shouldn't you explain it to me first?

"Zhisui, please tell me which two options are..."

Therefore, Ruoshui informed Itachi in detail about the risks and rewards of 'transplantation' and 'transgenic'.

Itachi: "I see..."

Ruoshui's face was full of embarrassment: "If I obtain the complete power of Hashirama, I can ensure that our clan will be completely invincible in adversity, but the risk is too great. I am afraid that I will make a mistake and destroy this mess. I left it to you and your father again, and Takigakure has just joined, and people's hearts are unstable. If internal and external troubles break out at the same time, I really can't imagine the consequences..."

Itachi clenched his fists: "This matter really should be discussed in the long term..."

Swish!

At this time, a figure jumped onto the waterfall, interrupting the communication between the two.

It was Kawa, with a solemn face, he handed over a letter: "Zhishui, this was just sent from Yunyin Village, please read it..."

Ruoshui took the letter and looked at it, and his understanding of the text was the memory left by Shisui.

It turned out that the news that Uchiha had captured Takigakure Village had reached Kumogakure.

Raikage's letter invites Uchiha to lead the Takigakure people and join Kumogakure!

Ruoshui sneered: "You are reaping the benefits of being a fisherman, and you have a good plan. This way, not only the Uchiha, but also Takigakure's 'Seven-Tails' were also taken over by Kumogakure. Kumogakure had three tailed beasts, Become the boss of the Ninja Village immediately, right? Needless to say, of course I refuse!"

Kawakawa said with a stern look: "The Kumogakure messenger made it clear that if Uchiha refuses to recruit, Kumogakure will settle the old accounts of the Blood Pond clan from the past. At that time, Kumogakure will lead an army to invade the country and uproot Uchiha... "

Itachi said: "The Blood Pond clan was a clan in the Kingdom of Thunder hundreds of years ago. Cloud Hidden Village had not yet been born at that time. How can we talk about old accounts? This is purely an excuse to start a war..."

But there is a reality. Facing the Kumoyin Village with its peak military strength, the Uchiha currently have no chance of winning!

Chuan said: "Maybe... avoiding war is also a way!"

Ruoshui: "Avoiding the war? Then the prestige we have gained by defeating Takigakure will be destroyed. Who will be willing to sincerely join Uchiha in the future? My Ninja Village plan will be destroyed!"

Okay... Kumogakure, are you playing with hegemony?

bass!

The flame ignited in Ruoshui's palm burned the letter completely!

Yes... In the ninja world, only absolute power can win the respect of others!The fragile light will one day return to darkness, and we can no longer escape, because this is not a gamble at all, but a war towards death!

As Shibuki Yuhiri said, a ninja's life does not belong to him in the first place, so how can he lose it?Light, too!

"Itachi, I think I have made my choice..."

……

Dawn is coming.

Ruoshui: "For this reason, I'm back, Orochimaru. My ambition is to obtain the power of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama to calm down the troubled times, so that he can genetically modify Hashirama's cells for me!"

Orochimaru: "Then, Shisui-kun...what can I gain?"

Ruoshui: "If I die during genetic modification, just take my eyes!"

Orochimaru: "Deal."

Ruoshui: "Tell me...the steps of transformation!"

Orochimaru: "First of all, we must obtain Hashirama cells with the most perfect purity. I don't have them..."

Ruoshui: "Where is it?"

Orochimaru said in shock: "Akatsuki's lair, heretic demon..."
