Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Kato Ou, who returned to the Root Laboratory again, suddenly felt as if he had been separated from another world.

It was just a change of identity, but it allowed him to see hope, a hope that no longer feared that he knew too much and would be cooked by cunning rabbits and lackeys.

Although he didn't know Orochimaru that well, at least with this identity, he had some support in Konoha.

It is no different anywhere. As long as it is a matter between people, there will always be reliance and being relied on.

Kato Oo still can't believe it until now. He knows that in Konoha Village, the name of a disciple is not that simple. He also knows that Orochimaru will not just talk about it casually.

However, he still didn't feel like Orochi said that he accepted him as his disciple because of his talent and talent...

But this is good, at least he can ask Orochimaru for ninjutsu more logically.

"Teacher Orochimaru, how can I master Senjutsu Chakra..."

Just seeing these experimental subjects, he understood that this was an experiment that was bound to fail, but he still wanted to do something. Although he probably understood the difficulty of celestial chakra, he couldn't help but speak.

"Perhaps this kind of Xujun looks a little like a child, with a bit of innocence and ignorance..."

Orochimaru looked at Kato Oo, and the mocking tone in his tone told Kato Oo that he was not qualified to study yet.

He turned his head and looked at the experimental subjects soaked in the fusion fluid. He said nothing, but he still stared at Orochimaru silently.

Orochimaru chuckled lightly, walked around the laboratory casually, glanced at the remaining experimental subjects in the laboratory, and Orochimaru gently touched the glass chamber with his finger.

"If you can defeat me, you might have a chance..."

"But, Mr. Xu, please don't die..."

"This will give me a headache..."

With a slanted smile on his lips, Orochimaru walked slowly and disappeared into the research room.

Watching Orochimaru's disappearing back, Kato Oo glanced around at the experimental subjects in the laboratory, sighed softly, and opened the sealing technique scroll buried in his arms with his body temperature.

……

Konoha at dusk is quiet and peaceful.

The night slowly swept across the sky and swallowed up the sky, and the stars broke free from the shackles of the day.

Between the vegetation and amaranth, the clear mountain streams flow down, nourishing this fertile country and supporting the people here.

But the desert country thousands of miles away fell into confusion when the sun rose.

The sky was only bright, but the entire Fengying Building seemed to have fallen into a stagnant moment that was darker than the night. Everyone sitting here was as motionless as a sculpture.

The year-round wind and sand brought the Suna Ninja as deep as the desert. In the Kazekage Council Hall were all the senior figures of Suna Ninja Village, and everyone had a solemn look on their face.

"Where did the Sandaime Kazekage... go?!!"

Nowadays, the people who control the entire Sand Ninja Village are a pair of siblings. The most powerful puppet master and poison master in the Ninja Village, who are good at puppetry and poisonous arts, are Chiyo, and her younger brother Ebizo.

Chiyo, who was sitting on the stage, frowned deeply and carefully looked at the Suna Ninja Murakami Ninjas in the audience. These were the core group of Suna Ninjas and the group of people who were best able to keep secrets.

"This matter is top secret! Deploy half of the Jonin, suspend all tasks in hand, and do all we can to find the Third Kazekage. We must not let go of any clues."

"I want to meet people..."

"I want to see the corpse!" Chiyo almost said this through gritted teeth, her brows furrowed deeply.

No longer paying attention to the whispers of the Jonin in the audience, Chiyo also had doubts in her heart.

The Sandaime, who was known as the strongest Kazekage, quietly disappeared in the village. This thing seemed too weird no matter how you looked at it.

She has thought about it countless times in her mind, and she has read the whereabouts reports of the Kage from the other four ninja villages countless times. She really can't think of anyone else in this ninja world who can quietly make the Sandaime disappear.

"Yes!" The jonins in the audience looked at each other. There was deep shame in everyone's eyes. The shadow of a village disappeared silently like this. Each of them seemed to have been slapped on the face. whip.

Chiyo looked at the anger in their eyes and sighed slightly.

The news of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage was so important that she got carried away for a moment and summoned so many people.

She regretted it a little...

The Jonin of Sand Ninja Village left the Kazekage Building with full of anger. Sand Ninja Village seemed to be filled with chills and gloom in an instant, as if it was a sign of the coming storm in the desert.

"Ebizo..."

"Be prepared for war..."

Chiyo's eyes seemed to pass through the Kazekage Building. After all the Jonin left, he slowly spoke to Ebizo.

"Has it reached this point..."

Ebizo was not a stupid person. His eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were narrowed. After Chiyo reminded him slightly, he had already reacted.

Regardless of whether the Sandaime is dead or alive, this incident has become a shame to Suna Ninja Village. They need an outlet and they need to use their military exploits to recommend a new Kazekage, a Kazekage who can convince the public.

The longer the third generation disappears, the more chaotic the village will become. Instead of internal strife, it is better to lead domestic conflicts to the outside.

As expected, Sand Ninja Village is still too barren. In recent years, the support of the daimyo has become weaker and weaker, and the burden on Sand Ninja Village has become heavier. If we can get some rich land, then it will be worth paying any price.

"However, the most important thing is to find the Sandaime Kazekage..."

"This matter can't be kept secret for too long... We must strike first and catch the enemy by surprise. Only in this way can we have hope of victory..."

Ebizo's eyes traced the map of the ninja world on Chiyo's desk. Konoha Village, the richest village in the center of the map, was circled with a big red circle. He couldn't help but look up at Chiyo, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Profound.

"Konoha... very good..."

"It's a pity that White Fang is dead...can't avenge them personally..."

Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law died in the hands of Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo during the Second Ninja War. From that time on, Chiyo thought about revenge for them all the time.

"Sister..." Ebizo looked at this sister who was almost 60 years old with some worry.

"The village always comes first..."

Chiyo sighed slightly, as if sitting still, and said no more words.

Ebizo looked out the window silently.

The long yellow sand was carved with ripples by the wind, slowly spreading out and extending into the distance. Steep sand walls, flowing sand dunes, and roaring sandstorms all carved a ripple on their faces over time. wrinkles...

He didn't know how many years he and his sister could live, but Suna Ninja Village encountered such a problem. The jounin in the village came to mind one by one, but he couldn't find a suitable heir.

He was also a little absent-minded for a moment...
