Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Happiness is always short-lived, but pain is eternal.

At the training ground far away from the main city, the pale moonlight passed through the shadows of the trees and reflected light white spots on the dark ground.

The quiet and uninhabited road has only layers of shadows slowly swaying in the bleak breeze.

Kato Ou turned around, and saw that the dim street lamp was so far away that only a small spot of light remained, and the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him also blocked the only light.

"No, Lord Danzo has summoned..."

"Yes!"

Following the root ninja, Kato Ou suddenly felt a familiar feeling. The root ninja in front of him seemed to be someone he was familiar with.

"Wei, it seems you recognized me..."

The root ninja who was walking in front was as tall as him. He seemed to feel his probing gaze and paused in his steps.

Through the only hole in the mask, Kato Oo saw two crescent-shaped eyes.

"Wei, oh no, I should call you Xujun now..."

"So Xujun, have you gone to find your own light?"

The way Kato Oo looked at Ding Wu projected an unprecedented light, as if all the light in the night was reflected from her eyes.

"Maybe……"

He took half a step back slightly, but the girl wearing a black hood followed another half step, and the distance between her and him was less than thirty centimeters...

"But it's all Danzo-sama's mission..." Looking into the girl's eyes, Kato Ou didn't know why but didn't say it.

"Let me tell you a secret..."

Ding Wu slowly took off his mask, and his complete fair face appeared in front of Kato Ou.

She leaned close to Kato Oo's ear, making Kato Oo's whole body tense up. The Senbon in her mouth was ready to go, and she put one hand on the knife bag.

"I gave myself a name, Nonoyu. In my hometown, it means lily..."

There was a faint floral fragrance on Nonou's body, which was clearly the smell of lilies, but only when he was very close could a faint trace reach Kato O's nose.

Although Kato Oo didn't know why she told herself these things, fortunately, she probably didn't have any hostility.

"I can't remember my parents' names. I just remember that there was always the smell of herbs in the house at that time. I think they must be doctors who collect herbs to treat people..."

"So, I gave myself another last name, Medicine Master."

"Does it sound good to Mr. Xu..."

Kato Ou looked at the gray-blue eyes of the pharmacist Nonou, which were mist-like eyes flowing with water mist. The clear light of the silver moon shone on Nonou's face, as if his whole person was exuding a soft brilliance.

"Yakushi Nonou... I will remember it..."

The wind around her seemed to have picked up at this moment, and a few strands of hair were swirling around her ears. Nonou's face was softer than Kato Ou had ever seen before.

"Xujun, you are a very gentle person..."

Seemingly getting a satisfactory answer, Nonoyu said nothing more and just led Kato Ou to an inconspicuous rock wall.

Danzo would summon him in a different place each time.

In the hidden corner of the rock wall, Kato Ou made a secret seal on the roots of his hands. A weak chakra wave flashed through, and the entrance of the cave protected by the barrier was gradually revealed. The dark entrance of the cave looked like a giant beast that chose people to devour.

"Xu Jun, maybe I will never see you again..."

The last moment he entered the cave, Nonoyu's voice sounded in his ears like a mosquito whisper.

Before he had time to ask, the barrier had already closed, leaving only the crescent-shaped eyes in Kato Ou's eyes.

……

In the deep cave, the candlelight was dim, and the stalactites on all sides were flashing with light. The water droplets dripped down and fell into the water pool, echoing in the silent cave.

Kato O tightened his hood tightly. Nonou's words made his mind flip over. This long and narrow corridor seemed to be full of gloom and terror.

"Does...does she know something..."

"Is this reminding me?"

Kato Ou still hasn't fully understood the last soul mutation, but it seems that he just discovered a little difference, but it has also allowed him to develop several new abilities.

He thought for a while, calmed down his breath, looked around, and made a few secret seals.

"The art of possessing spirits!"

Wisps of light blue sigils composed of weak fluorescence spread rapidly from Kato Ou's spiritual platform, clinging to the skin and spreading all over the body. They flickered for a few times before disappearing into every corner of the body.

The art of enchantment, which combines the art of sealing, illusion, darkness, and spiritualization, can lock spiritual energy in these tiny talismans, forming a passive protective layer on his body.

After every peeping spiritual consciousness comes into contact with the talisman, it will be deprived of all perception and plunge into endless darkness.

Along the deep corridor, gradually going deeper, some sounds gradually came from the empty cave.

But what Kato Oo didn't expect was that he would meet Orochimaru here...

"Xujun, long time no see..."

Orochimaru's figure slowly walked out of the darkness, and his seemingly emotionless voice made Kato Oo's eyes flash with surprise.

"Teacher Orochimaru?"

"It seems that Xujun is having a good time these days..."

Kato Ou still doesn't quite understand his relationship with Orochimaru. This man who looks like a big snake seems to be a cold-blooded animal without any warmth.

As his nominal teacher, in front of Orochimaru, Kato Oo could not feel the oppression of his superiors and subordinates, but he could not feel the affinity of the same kind. There were only capricious changes, like a valley, which made people see the true nature clearly. face.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Orochimaru, I've been really busy these days..."

Kato Oo bowed respectfully. No matter what, Orochimaru's help to him was real. No matter what his plans were, at least for now, he was still his teacher.

"Xu Jun is such a genius, others will naturally see his light..."

Orochimaru didn't say anything else, with a slight smile on his lips, he walked slowly in front of Kato O, and then gently pushed open the door of a hidden dark room in the cave.

The old man, wrapped in bandages, sat on the high platform of the dark room with his eyes slightly closed.

The sharp gazes of the four or five root ninjas beside him made Kato Ou feel a little unusual.

"Roots, Wei, see Lord Danzo..."

Danzo ignored Kato O, and just stared at Orochimaru with cold eyes, his voice was unusually low.

"Orochimaru...the war is coming..."

"News just came from the front line. The Kumo ninja and the Iwa ninja have sent troops to invade the Konoha border. The attack is menacing. The frontline checkpoint has already been in contact with them."

"It's just that they didn't seem to take the initiative to attack, they were just harassing a small group of troops..."

Standing next to Danzo, a gray-brown haired ninja slowly spoke, but his eyes were focused on Kato Oo, who was half-kneeling on the ground.

Kato Ou was vaguely aware of the hostility in his eyes through the mask.

"This is probably the reason why the third generation has not yet recruited the Jonin class..."

Orochimaru licked his lips.War is something he has been looking forward to for a long time.

"Hiruzen will not send you to the battlefield..."

Danzo's voice made Orochimaru narrow his eyes slightly, and his narrow eyes seemed to have a bit of coldness.

"It seems that something happened in the village during this period that I don't know much about..."

"Orochimaru, you are too confident..."

Danzo's cane hit the ground with such force that Kato Ou felt Danzo's hidden anger for the first time.

"Hmph, you, Tsunade, and Jiraiya have only viewed Hiruzen as a disciple for so many years, and you have already been blinded by him."

"Your good teacher..."

"It's not as simple as you think..."

Danzo's eyes suddenly turned to Kato Oo, and a fierce aura with a bit of coldness made Kato Oo's heart sink.

"Am I right……"

"not yet……"

Danzo's crutch touched the top of Kato Oo's head, and the cold chakra made Kato Oo seem to have fallen into an ice cave.

"The little devil who peeks into the soul..."

The rough wood grain was raised high with an icy cold air, like a stream of light mixed with the whistling wind, hitting Kato Oo's face hard.

Kato O didn't dare to put up any resistance. His body hit the stacked stalactites like a football shot out with great force, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out and flow into the puddle formed by dripping.

"Cough cough..."

Not knowing what went wrong, this was the first time someone had detected his own perception. Kato Ou endured the severe pain in his body and half-knelt on the ground.

"Danzo-sama... I don't understand what Danzo-sama means..."

"You'll understand..."

Danzo's mouth moved slightly, and Orochimaru looked at Kato Ou with some inexplicable meaning.

"what……"

The stinging pain from his mind made Kato Oo's whole body convulse. He could feel the cold chakra rising from the base of his tongue rushing straight into his brain, as if to crush all his mental resistance.

"wind……"

Under Danzo's order, the ash-brown haired root ninja at his side slowly walked up and looked at Kato Oo with a cruel look.

"Ninjutsu! The art of reading minds!"

The root ninja named Feng seemed to have exhausted all his strength and struck Kato Oo on the forehead with a palm. I am afraid that if Danzo had not existed, he would have smashed Kato Oo's head without hesitation.

"A ninja from the mountain clan... It's really interesting. I didn't expect Elder Danzo to let me watch such a good show..."

"The consequences of betraying the roots are death..."

Shanfeng's eyes slowly became silent, and his head slowly lowered. It seemed that he had completely connected with Kato Oo's spirit, and his entire consciousness had completely entered Kato Oo's spiritual world.

"tell me your name……"

Danzo's voice sounded slowly, and Orochimaru pursed his lips, watching this scene with great interest, and seemed to be curious about what his 'disciple' was hiding in his heart.

"not yet……"

A low voice came out slowly from Shanfeng's mouth, and Danzo's eyes flashed with surprise, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Are you following the orders of Hiruzen Sarutobi to explore the secrets of the roots through soul fluctuations..."

"Mission target, Namikaze Minato, mission, get close to Namikaze Minato and gain his trust..., soul fluctuation... something went wrong while practicing the secret technique..."

In Kato Ou's spiritual world, a group of faint blue light was spinning back and forth in the endless darkness. A shrill scream seemed to penetrate the entire endless space. One after another, the shadow of a knife cut through the faint blue light group. With.

"Kato Oo, you are deceiving Danzo-sama! If I tell you, you will definitely die, definitely!"

The face of Shan Feng appeared on the blue light group, and standing in front of him was a giant spirit body that looked like a giant holding the sky.

A giant spirit with a face similar to Kato O's, holding a long black knife in his hand.As the long knife continued to cut, the faint blue light group turned into wisps of streamers and was slowly absorbed by the pitch-black long knife, and black soul fire began to disperse from the blade.

"You won't have a chance..."

"Your soul will turn into nutrients for the Soul-Destroying Blade, and you will never be reincarnated..."

Kato Ou said coldly. He had already recognized this person, and he was also one of the ten people who survived. However, he did not expect that he was from the Yamanaka family, and he even sensed his soul perception.

"It should be that too much spiritual energy was absorbed at once, causing the soul fluctuations to be uncontrollable. It seems that we need to digest these first during this period..."

"But, is a war coming..."

Kato Oo pulled out the Soul-Destroying Blade from Yamafaze's spirit body.

As the last bit of blue light disappeared in Kato Oo's spiritual world, all of Shanfeng's soul energy was absorbed by the Soul-Destroying Blade.

He also obtained all the memories of Yamafaze, and finally understood that this guy was jealous that he had become Orochimaru's disciple.

"It's ridiculous..."

Most people can only see the happiness in other people's lives, but not the misfortune of others.

Instead of being jealous of others, let others see your value.

Kato Ou flipped his palm, and a light blue ball of light slowly emerged from the palm of the spirit body, disappearing like a ghostly light along the soul passage built by the wind in the mountain.

"It can last about half a month..."

"If I die in a chaotic battle, Danzo will not suspect me..."
