Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Time in the spiritual world seemed to have passed for a long time, but Kato Oo could clearly feel that the real world had only passed by a moment.

Danzo looked at Kato Oo lying on the ground, nodded slowly, and with a tap of the crutch attached to the chakra, the 'Yamaikaze' was awakened, and he slowly raised his head.

"Wei, we didn't betray our roots..."

Danzo's voice made Yamafaze's face freeze. His eyes through the mask were completely in disbelief, and he stared at Kato Oo.

"Danzo-sama... this..., this is impossible!"

"I...I want to try again..."

"Lord Danzo, let me try again. This time I will definitely be able to..."

Before Shanfeng could finish his words, Danzo interrupted him, and struck the gale palm to directly throw Shanfeng into the air. His chest was full of blood...

"I miss you wholeheartedly, and I will spare your life this time..."

'Mountain Wind' lowered his head, endured the pain in his chest, and knelt on the ground silently.

"Yes! Danzo-sama..."

"Orochimaru, it seems that your disciple has lived up to your training..."

"Elder Danzo is really full of talents..."

Orochimaru's eyes were on Shanfeng's body, and his gaze that seemed to penetrate his soul made Kato Oo's heart tighten.

"The wind will not wake up..."

"Then go to the medical department yourself. The war is about to begin. I don't want to see an extra piece of waste at the root..."

"Yes!"

The 'Mountain Wind' hit Kato Oo's forehead a little, and he pretended to wake up slowly, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"Wei... you have lived up to my expectations. It seems that it is time for you to take on some important responsibilities..."

"Danzo-sama! Never, never have two minds!"

"Well..." Danzo nodded in a muffled voice, without the slightest apology in his eyes, as if he would not have any unnecessary thoughts even if he killed Kato O directly.

"The war is about to begin, Wei. I want you to lurk next to Namikaze Minato, launch a fatal blow at the critical moment, destroy Namikaze Minato's mission, and make him a war criminal in Konoha!"

"Wei, you should be able to do it..."

"Yes! Danzo-sama!"

"White Fang will be Minato Namikaze next... Elder Danzo is really cautious..."

Kato Oo hasn't seen Orochimaru for a long time. He seems to have been busy with his own research recently, but he seems to be a little dissatisfied with Danzo's actions...

"Orochimaru, based on my understanding of Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato is most likely a chess piece recommended by him to gain military exploits, and he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks this time."

"Don't forget his identity...he is your good teammate and Jiraiya's apprentice..."

"Jiraiya, he won't become Hokage..."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with Jiraiya's stupid thumbs-up look, and he chuckled.

"Hmph, do you think you can completely understand someone? Being overconfident is arrogance!"

"Is that why Elder Danzo's curse seal is so powerful..."

"However, Elder Danzo doesn't seem to understand that if you want to truly conquer someone, you can never do it by relying solely on fear..."

Kato Ou could hear the contempt contained in Orochimaru's voice clearly without even having any sense.

"How presumptuous! Orochimaru, don't forget, you are still a human being at the root, you are still my subordinate!"

Danzo's piercing gaze was like ice that had not melted for thousands of years, and the several root ninjas behind him also looked at Orochimaru with complete hostility.

"Elder Danzo is so old. If he gets angry again, he may not be able to wait until the opportunity he wants appears..."

Listening to Danzo's words silently, the situation in Konoha slowly became clear in Kato O's eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is struggling with the choice of the Fourth Hokage. Danzo's purpose is not yet clear, but he supports Orochimaru and seems to be more eager to clear all obstacles than Orochimaru.

Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato's line are their main opponents.

The next Hokage will probably be born between Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

But Kato Oo couldn't figure it out for the time being, why the most prestigious granddaughter of the First Hokage, Konoha Princess Tsunade-hime, seemed to have been excluded by them from the beginning...

"Wei, you go down first..."

Although he has completely let go of his suspicion, there are more things that Kato Ou shouldn't know.

Danzo nodded slightly, Kato Oo responded silently and exited the dark room.

But when he left, Orochimaru looked at him with a vaguely strange smile.

"Did Orochimaru see something..."

Kato Ou walked out of the corridor in silence, and it was already late at night in silence.

A quarter moon is like a hook, and a few stars are twinkling in the sky.

The light breeze blew across his cheek, and the dim light on the busy street only condensed into a small dot in the distance and fell in his eyes, but it disappeared like a phantom.

……

Seemingly ordinary things often hide some unknown secrets.

Kato Ou, who has already learned the art of shadow clones, only recently discovered that it contains unconstrained ideas and a high-level understanding of ninjutsu.

At the moment when the shadow clone was formed, all his memories were copied in an instant and transferred to the clone made entirely of chakra.

Before the shadow clone dissipates, it has a completely independent personality.

After it dissipated, it was the most magical moment that amazed Kato Oo - the parallel memories on the same timeline would return to the original body in an instant.

Kato Oo stayed up all night, just kept using the shadow clone technique, and then dispersed him, and then continued...

It lasted until early morning. When he looked up again, the sky was already white.

Standing in front of him was a black-haired boy wearing a black hood and blue eyes.

"Success..."

The two spoke in unison, with expressions and looks as if there was a mirror placed between them.

After obtaining the secret technique of the Yamanaka family, Kato Ou thought of the first Yamanaka family member he met - Yamanaka Haiichi.

Treat mental power as a kind of wave, emit it like an electromagnetic wave, and then bind this energy into a link through some special constraints to transmit any information you want to know...

Although I still don’t understand how the memory of the shadow clone can be returned to the body in an instant, it does not prevent Kato Oo from completing the trick of instant communication between clones.

"Unfortunately, it's a step late..."

If he had completed this technique before yesterday, the spiritual clone of 'Mountain Wind' separated from his spiritual body would have allowed him to know the dynamics of his roots in real time.

But without the soul and memory of Shanfeng, he would not have been able to develop such a small skill so quickly.

With a slight finger pointing to break the shadow clone, Kato Oo sat cross-legged on the ground of Xiaozhulou, and divided into 10 shadow clones again.

Looking at the 10 identical selves sitting around him, Kato Oo slowly closed his eyes and fell into his own spiritual world.

Faint soul fluctuations slowly spread throughout the training ground.

However, it is only limited to a range of [-] meters. He has been able to fully control the perception technique brought about by soul fluctuations, and will not arouse the vigilance of others like last time.

"A real-time communication link has been established with the shadow clone..."

Kato Ou could clearly feel that from behind the spirit body, there were ten light blue filaments condensed by mental fluctuations.

And he can check the thinking, perception, and sight of the ten shadow clones at every moment.

"The spirit body seems to have become more solid..."

All the treasures left by the ancestors of the Kato family for hundreds of years were completely absorbed by Kato Ou.

He didn't know if this was something Uncle Kato Yuan had prepared for him or if it was just a coincidence.

The spirit body seemed to be like a balloon, with too much soul energy incorporated into it, causing it to expand into a hundred-meter-tall giant.

But it is nothing more than an empty shell.

Kato Ou could feel the weakness of the spirit body. Even just maintaining this form was already very difficult. It needed more pure soul energy to solidify the body.

Slowly pulling out the long knife made of pure soul energy at his side, Kato Ou felt a kind of greed and desire.

He separated the soul-eating ability from the spirit body and condensed it through the sealing technique. The long knife densely covered with black symbols was named the Soul-Destroying Blade by him.

But his sealing technique is still too crude, and he can only barely keep it in the spiritual world.

"There will be a chance... soon..."

Feeling its desire, Kato Oo gently stroked the Soul-Destroying Blade, with a smile on his face, but with a bit of gloom.

Perhaps only in his own spiritual world can he completely relax.

"I just want to survive..."

"Whoever stands in my way will be killed!"

Yesterday's crisis was still vivid in his mind. If it hadn't been for Nonoyu's reminder, perhaps he would have become a piece of rotten meat in the sewer, being eaten by a group of rats as a gift from heaven.

Kato Oo was scared.

He had seen too many ninjas being disposed of like garbage. He didn't know when it started. It seemed that his whole heart had become numb, as if he was used to seeing life and death, and he had a little contempt.

But there had never been a moment when he felt that death was about to truly come to him - he was really going to die!

The moment he left the darkroom, his hands and feet were trembling, a sign of regret for his arrogance and conceit, which almost cost him his life!

Perhaps the greatest pain for people is the deviation between cognition and practice.

He had obviously recognized the Sword of Damocles above his head, but time had given him a sense of luck.

"Lord Danzo, maybe I should also thank you..."

"Thank you for almost killing me...really, just a little bit closer!"

Kato Ou's voice became deeper and deeper, and his whole body seemed to be trembling. A kind of madness and gloomy aura was raging in every part of his body.

He now has the urge to destroy everything!

This world seems to have made Kato Oo less and less like his original self, becoming more and more gloomy and depressing...
