Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Obito, who had been sleeping soundly, woke up from his dream, saliva dripping from his mouth on the pillow, and he fainted.

Seeing that both Kato Oo and Lin's eyes were on his face, Obito touched his head, with a rare rosy look on his face that was a little embarrassed, not sure if it was because he had just woken up.

"Lin..."

"Ok?"

"What am I going to say...oh, by the way..."

"Do you know what that big octopus is? I seem to have heard of it somewhere? Someone seemed to have told me these things, but it was very vague..."

As if a flash of inspiration occurred, Obito changed the topic, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere. While Lin was thinking, he quickly turned over the pillow.

"Obito... fell asleep in class! The person who told you in a daze is Wada-sensei!

Taught us the history of the ninja world and the history of Konoha for three years..."

Lin snorted softly, with a faint smile on her lips. Obito's little moves were naturally not hidden from her eyes, and she would not expose them. Obito looked a bit cute like this.

"The first Hokage captured the nine tailed beasts and gave them to some ninja villages. Now among the five major countries, we in Konoha Village have nine tails.

The Kumo ninja has the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails, the Iwagakure Village has the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails are in the Kirigakure Village, the Seven-Tails is in the Taki-nin Village, and the One-Tails is in the Sand Ninja Village..."

"Each tailed beast will be sealed in a person's body through a sealing technique, and that person is called a Jinchuuriki.

While using the tailed beast as a secret weapon, we also rely on the reputation of the tailed beast to intimidate other ninja villages, so the selection of the jinchuriki is an absolute secret, but the ownership of the tailed beast is widely publicized..."

"Let you sleep in class...you won't remember anything..."

Lin seemed to be reciting the text fluently, and Katoo couldn't help but look at it attentively.

"It turns out that big guy is a tailed beast named Eight Tails..."

Kato Oo, who had never taken any ninja culture class, only now learned about the existence of tailed beasts for the first time through Lin's popular science.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Xu didn't pay attention to the lectures either..."

Lin saw Kato Oo's eyes looking over, and a strange color flashed in her eyes. She secretly pursed her lips and smiled. Obito squinted at Kato Oo, with a true expression on his face.

"Xu, haha, you still don't admit it!

Lin, look, I told you earlier, although this guy looks a little bit stronger now.

But I must have been a loser before. If I awaken the Sharingan, I will definitely become more powerful than him! "

"Yes, yes... Obito will always be the strongest... If he wasn't lying on the hospital bed now, maybe someone would believe it..."

Lin pursed her lips and teased Obito. Obito snorted and turned his hands over his head, fastening the goggles on his head to his eyes. He held the sides of the goggles with both hands and looked at Lin like a telescope.

"The Sharingan appears quickly! Take me to the battlefield! Go, go, go!"

"Hahaha……"

The laughter of Lin and Obito lingered in Kato Oo's ears. For some reason, he didn't feel noisy at all, and even felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Large tracts of snowflakes fall from the sky, like jade butterflies flapping their wings, falling on the dead branches of the jungle. The world of ice and snow is always so elegant and tranquil, soothing all troubled souls.

Listening to these laughing voices, he didn't know why, but he felt restless for almost a whole night, but suddenly he seemed to calm down, sleepiness swept over him, and he fell into a deep sleep...

"You two also play relay games while sleeping..."

As soon as Obito got up, Ou fell asleep again, and Lin rolled her eyes helplessly.

"I don't know how Kakashi is doing..."

Obito swayed his legs that were hung up high, and kept talking. As he lay on the hospital bed, he couldn't help but think of Kakashi.

"Last time I went to see that guy, he didn't even say thank you... hmph..."

"Kakashi's injury is also serious, but he should be healed soon..."

"Maybe Kakashi will come to see us tomorrow..."

Lin and Obito chatted casually, with Obito talking most of the time, while Lin just listened quietly and occasionally responded.

The quiet days passed slowly with laziness and casual chatting.

Living together in the ward for a few days seems to have made Obito and Rin a little closer to Kato Ou. If before, they were just companions who could rely on their backs - although they could rely on each other with their lives, there was always someone there when there was nothing to do. So much alienation.

So now it seems that there is some development towards the best friend who can talk about anything, even more so than the carefree Obito, Rin.

Rin seems to be the glue between the rough Obito and the cold Kakashi, but in fact, she has been accommodating the two of them, and now there is even an additional Kato Oo.

But it seems that compared to Obito and Kakashi, Lin always feels that Kato Oo seems to be thinking about something that they cannot relate to.

Just like in the ninja school, when they were still struggling with who had a closer relationship with whom, who was more handsome and who was more beautiful, others were already thinking about the future.

In Kato Ou's body, this feeling is a little stronger, which makes Lin always have a curiosity to explore, and her life is not so boring...

On the first morning after Kato Oo was fully injured, he received a summons from Namikaze Minato.

Without any surprise, Kato Ou was ready to hand over his ninjutsu to the village. He had experienced such things too many times.

Although none of the scrolls he handed in could be successfully practiced, at least there would be no problems in the first few steps.

In view of the special nature of the spiritual transformation technique, no one dared to try it.

He had simply prepared the cultivation scroll for the giant spirit body - naturally he could not cultivate it successfully.

But to his expectation, when he met Namikaze Minato for the first time, Namikaze Minato, who smiled slightly with narrowed eyes, did not ask him about any ninjutsu, but instead handed him a scroll.

"Minato Jounin...is this?"

There was no one else in Namikaze Minato's camp, only him and Minato. Kato Ou had to be careful. He gently held the scroll but did not open it immediately.

"Xu, open it and take a look...a little surprise..."

Namikaze Minato smiled, and his gentle and humble look prevented Kato Oo from feeling any murderous intent or other dark emotions.

Only then did he relax his vigilance a little and slowly opened the scroll.

Kato O's vigilance was naturally noticed by Minato Namikaze, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Sometimes he couldn't understand why this little person in front of him could depend on Obito and Lin's lives, fight to the last moment, and even believe in himself in the most critical moments. Why was he becoming wary now? stand up?

"Is he trying to warn me and want to tell me something?"

Namikaze Minato took a deep look at Kato Ou, but couldn't detect anything unusual.

"Do you like it, Junior Brother Xu... You are also the first one... to be directly promoted from a genin to a special jounin..."

"Is it jointly recommended by Minato Jounin and Jiraiya-sama? Kato Oo is very grateful!"

Kato Oo slowly bowed to Minato Namikaze to express his gratitude. Now he roughly understood what Minato meant - he knew his identity and he wanted to win over him.

The 12-year-old special jounin does not seem to be more talented than Kakashi who was directly promoted to jounin, but for Konoha, this is already considered a genius level figure who has entered the high-level attention.

The 12-year-old special jounin and genin were directly promoted as geniuses, plus Kato Oo's record. If there are enough promoters, Kato Oo's reputation can be promoted to at least the same level as Kakashi.

It's just that these things that are a step to the sky for ordinary ninjas don't seem to have much effect on Kato Ou. He understood a truth from the beginning.

In this world, strength determines everything...
