Naruto: Immortal Spirit

"What are the consequences for those who fail to complete their tasks! Tell me!"

The root ninja standing on the high platform wore a mask that Kato Ou had never seen before. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of the smell of iron and blood.

Jia San died a year ago. This person wearing an unknown mask is also called Jia San.

"Mission failed, commit suicide and apologize!"

Under the stage, there were twenty eight or nine-year-old children, each of whom had a cold voice.

There is a hint of ferocity in most of their eyes. Although they are still immature, they can no longer be underestimated.

For these children who have never known what is right and what is wrong, their judgment of things has been completely determined by what they have been taught.

Kato Oo had no expression on his face.

In three years, he has learned how to hide his emotions perfectly and pretend to be how he should be.

Coldness is the symbol of the root ninja, and it is also the mask Kato Ou chose for himself.

"Very good, one hour. I only give you one hour. I want to see a prey in each of your hands."

"Earth Escape-Iron Prison!"

The root ninja standing on the high platform began to use ninjutsu.

"Rumble..."

The ground began to shake, and earthen walls began to emerge from all directions, forming a circular wall about a hundred meters in diameter.

Kato Ou looked at the root ninja on the high platform and knew in his heart that if he could perform such a ninjutsu effortlessly, he was at least a jounin-level ninja.

On the other side, the criminals sent from Konoha Prison were sent to the iron prison one by one.

"Eight, nine, ten..."

Staring at the criminals, Kato Ou understood what this method meant, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

At most fifteen people survived.

He turned his head and looked around slightly.

However, the child, who was only eight or nine years old, had already begun to look at the people around him with a critical eye, and even started to become faintly vigilant.

"Enter!"

The root ninja on the high platform gave a soft drink, and everyone disappeared instantly.

Those who can stand here are all elites among their peers. Those who have not endured it have already turned into withered bones.

Everyone has mastered the Three Body Technique, the basics of Ninja Taijutsu, Kunai Shuriken, and even some low-level Ninjutsu.

When life is threatened, unparalleled potential will always burst out.

The cage surrounded by earth escape is not too big, but it is extremely quiet at the moment, mixed with solemnity and desolation, filling every inch of the air here.

"In addition to the high platform in the middle, the earthen walls in the southeast and northwest directions also have the aura of ninjas..."

Kato Ou chose a large hidden tree and quietly hid behind it, sensing the surrounding wind and grass.

The first thing he noticed was the root restraints that exuded a powerful aura on the four high walls.

"It seems that this assessment is not ordinary..."

Without thinking any more, he focused his attention on other hidden corners around him.

Enemies may be hidden anywhere in the woods, shrubs, rocks, or anywhere within the scope of the iron prison.

Everyone is something he needs to be wary of.

The spiritual light appeared in Kato Ou's hand, like small fireflies, and slowly floated out. The fluorescence slowly converged, gradually became transparent, flew into the jungle, disappeared, and explored the past in all directions.

These small means are an application of his spiritual transformation technique. In the past three years at the root, he has experienced many similar trials, but he has never used his spiritual transformation technique even once.

Although this secret technique can be called a weapon for assassination, its drawbacks are also obvious.After his soul leaves the body, his body cannot move. If there is no secret place to store his body, or someone he absolutely trusts to protect his body, then he is just putting himself in the most dangerous situation.

He could only find another way, but fortunately it seemed that he had some special talent for the soul, and he successfully developed several small methods.

The chakra balls containing a hint of his spiritual sense dispersed, and without deliberate control, they were scattered randomly in the jungle, so quietly and invisible.

"what!"

A sudden scream broke the silence of the forest.

"Soul Fire Insect Technique!"

Hearing this voice, Kato Oo activated his ninjutsu, and the chakra energy groups lurking in every corner of the forest were instantly activated, transmitting the scene back instantly, and then dissipated into nothingness.

He found the place where seven or eight people were in an instant.

Except for those criminals who have not practiced Chakra, those with slightly more sensitive perceptions also sensed Chakra fluctuations at the moment when the Soul Fire Insect was activated, and knew that they had been exposed.

Noises began to sound one after another in the mountains and forests, and occasionally there were a few screams.

The children who were secretive again discovered each other's figure between constant jumps, and either chose to escape or choose to sneak attack.

Only these bold criminals who don't know what they are doing are still lying in wait.

In Kato O's perception, two guys in their 40s wearing criminal clothes were quietly hiding behind a big tree.

He approached quietly.

Stupid guys are always so stupid. It is unimaginable that people who have survived in this world for so many years still judge the difference in strength based on age and individual body shape.

Coming quietly behind them, Kato Ou didn't expect that the two criminals were still peeping at a girl.

"Grandpa will have to carry someone on his back even if he dies."

"Hehe, this girl doll is quite beautiful..."

Kato Ou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the girl not far away...

"Ding Wu..."

The girl is the only girl among the remaining 20 people, and she is also the most peculiar existence - she has a warm and gentle smile.

Even in such harsh roots...

Kato Oo has never provoked this girl. If you don't understand, just stay away. Such a smiling guy is definitely not as simple as he seems.

Just when he was about to retreat, Ding Wu suddenly turned his head, and a kunai passed by the big tree next to Kato Oo.

"Come out, I know you are here..."

Ding Wu took out the kunai and held it in his hand, looking around cautiously.

"Aren't you going to come out? Are you still just like before, relying on your perception ability to avoid all battles and hiding until the end of every trial..."

"Not all battles can be avoided..."

A figure appeared at Kato O's feet, and two shurikens flew out, piercing the throats of the two criminals.

These criminals are just ordinary people. Even if they are stronger, they are far behind compared to ninjas.

"As expected, it's you, Wei..."

Ding Wu silently watched the two criminals fall to the ground. He only glanced lightly and made no move, but Kato Ou could clearly feel that she was a little more serious than before.

"Don't be nervous, I don't want to do something meaningless, especially a meaningless battle."

"The two people here should be enough to pass this trial."

Ding Wu looked at the young man with black eyes and black hair in front of him, his whole body covered in the same black cloak. He suddenly smiled softly and took the kunai back into his hand.

"Wei, who can only run away, really deserves his reputation..."

"Not worth mentioning, just to survive."

"Because he was afraid of being killed by others, he worked hard to develop the sensory ninjutsu. He is really a genius. Wei..."

Kato Oo glanced at Ding Wu in surprise, and the girl showed him her signature gentle smile again.

"It's just a trivial trick, not worth mentioning..."

Kato Ou gently accumulated chakra at his feet, and quickly threw a kunai in his hand. Taking advantage of Ding Wu's moment of dodge, he immediately rushed into the jungle and disappeared.

Kato Oo ran away without even taking the killed prey with him.He could sense that the girl's emotions seemed to be full of light and softness. Over the past three years, he had probably understood his talent for soul perception.

Except for some particularly powerful beings who couldn't sense any information at all, there were few who could disguise their soul fluctuations so perfectly.

"This girl is really not simple..."
