Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Namikaze Minato always comes and goes.

Sometimes Kato Oo doesn't quite understand what this blond-haired man can do.

At the front of the four-person team, the slightly tired figure of Namikaze Minato flashed out.

Having just dealt with some final 'harassment', Namikaze Minato had a new appreciation for just how rogue Ōnoki was.

Disguised as a wandering ninja, he constantly harassed Konoha ninjas on their way back. Once captured, he immediately committed suicide. Even if he was caught alive, he was like a stubborn rock in the mountains of Iwa ninja, refusing to eat anything soft or hard.

Even though both Konoha and Iwa Ninja knew it well, there was no evidence. Onoki seemed to have grasped Konoha's bottom line and kept jumping sideways.

Namikaze Minato shook his head slightly. He didn't understand what Iwa Ninja did. It was totally meaningless and he was venting the loser's unwillingness...

"Forget it, hurry back to Konoha as soon as possible..."

Uchiha Fugaku had already rushed to the end of the team, but they took the initiative to take over the rear duties. Since these were not Iwa ninjas, they no longer had to exercise any restraint.

As if he was not used to such a silent atmosphere, Namikaze Minato raised his head slightly and looked at Kakashi and Lin.The two of them remained silent without any words, but they were still full of sadness and sorrow.

Namikaze Minato wanted to say something, but he just sighed without any words of comfort.

Pain, only your own, is the most profound and can make a person grow the most.

"lets go……"

"There are more important things to do..."

"Yes……"

Wei Wei responded in a muffled voice, but did not move at all, as if he was still immersed in his own world.

Kakashi didn't hate war any more than he did now. His left eye was still stinging slightly, but the remaining right eye was even darker, as if it no longer had any brilliance.

"Let's go..."

Kato Oo looked at the two people who were even a little numb, and slowly approached, but couldn't help but his voice became a little softer, breaking the almost unspeakable silence between the three of them.

"Xu Jun..., you are really still indifferent..."

Namikaze Minato did not tell anyone about his ambush, but no one who could survive the tragic war was stupid. Even if it was just a few subtle changes, a single eye contact, it would be enough. There are countless clues revealed.

Lin has always been sharp.

"Maybe……"

Lin no longer knew how she came here from the Country of Grass. Her complete memory seemed to be blank. She just looked at the two people in front of her with a bit of confusion.

One was the teacher who accompanied her day and night, and the other was a comrade who had fought side by side and could be trusted with her life. But for some reason, she could no longer face them like before.

When a person establishes an intimate relationship with another person, he will not consciously use the emotions of another person to fill some soul deficiencies.

But when that person dies or the relationship ends, the parts that were originally integrated suddenly disappear, as if they have lost a part of themselves, and the heart that was once filled is filled with light-transmitting holes.

Lowering her head slightly, Lin's tears couldn't help but roll down, but the tears seemed to be constantly overflowing from countless holes. Her full heart was full of cracks, and nothing could make up for those shortcomings...

The galaxy is hot, burning the ideals of the world. Without you, I am riddled with holes...

There was suppressed indifference and a little hidden anger in his eyes, but he couldn't express it.

Don't those who resent the Feng Shui Sect come to the rescue?Did Katoo appear after Obito's death?Or resent Konoha for sending them to the battlefield?

Which of these reasons can be explained?She could only hate herself for being weak and for becoming a burden to them.

It's not that I don't understand those principles, but I can't stay rational. It's just that when I should use my brain, I use my emotions...

Obviously with a little help from anyone, Obito might... not die...

"Let's go... Lin, the village is still waiting for us to work hard for it..."

Kakashi's cold voice came, and Kato Oo couldn't help but glance at him. Such words made him look at Kakashi for the first time.

The only exposed right eye was lowered, and Kakashi just glanced at Kato Oo sideways, passing by Kato Oo with an expressionless face.

"Weakness is sin..."

The words that echoed in Kato Oo's ears made him turn his head slightly, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at Kakashi and Lin who were running in the woods. I don't know why, the more he looked at Kakashi, the more he looked like himself before.

The clouds of the Land of Grass and the rain of Konoha fell together in the slightly lonely autumn. The clouds in the forest were full of clouds, but as I moved forward, the mist turned into dew and stained my clothes.The wind and fallen leaves floated, and when they met the autumn rain, they fell silent again.

"Perhaps, everyone comes from hell and is trying their best to get to heaven. It's just that on the road to earth, we are lucky enough to meet him on the way."

"We should bless all those who die..."

In the jungle near the Country of Fire, the branches are a little more lush, and it is probably a little warmer. There are still some branches and leaves carrying the last greenness, and they are so stubborn that they are struggling on the last branches.

Kato Ou slowly raised his head and stared at the vast sky, where the wind and clouds blowing from the endless wilderness and the mist and rain soaked with light fragrance condensed in the sky, forming the world of his dreams.

The soul was just wandering in it, and the corners of Kato Oo's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

"Maybe it's time to bring an end to Genbu's ninja career..."

Kato Ou's eyes were staring in the direction of Konoha. Under the sunlight, his blue pupils were brighter than ever before, but there was some indescribable violence hidden in them.

……

The Konoha Intelligence Department stands in a somewhat remote part of the city. What is exposed above the ground looks no different from other interrogation departments and police departments. It is just a secret underground second floor, as if it is out of the sunlight. , still revealing a bit of gloominess.

Ninjas from other countries, ninjas from our own country who died in battle due to special reasons, and ninjas with special blood stains, as long as they have hidden secrets, their bodies will be transported here to contribute their last value to Konoha.

This is a special department that every village is unwilling to admit, but it must exist.

"The cause of death of Jounin Jota, Yudai Jounin, and Yoshino Hide Jounin has been determined, but..."

The young chuunin standing in front of Morino Kira seemed a little confused and did not dare to tell his guess. He thought it was just a routine job, but unexpectedly it seemed to contain something special.

"Snapped……"

Suddenly closing the record book in his hand, Morino Kira looked at the young chuunin. All the information was written in the report in his hand. He also vaguely guessed the reason why the young chuunin hesitated to speak - it might be involved. Uncover some secrets in the dark.

"The following will not be recorded in the scroll..."

After looking around and confirming that no one in the entire room could hear their conversation except for the three pieces of flesh and blood that were no longer humanoid on the experimental table, Morino Kira nodded slowly.

"First tell me your opinion..."

"I……"

"The bodies of the three Jonin were penetrated by sharp wooden thorns, causing damage to many organs in the body. They eventually died of excessive blood loss."

"But these are only superficial wounds. The three of them had wooden weapons that penetrated their limbs from the palms and soles of their feet."

"Even the dissection of the connection between the wooden weapons and the flesh revealed that...these wooden weapons were intricately entangled in their bodies, and even had some weak branches like roots. It is difficult to imagine how the people who killed the three Jonin did it. ……just like……"

I don't know if he thought of something, but the young chuunin hesitated to make a judgment. Morino Kira's eyes looked closely at the young chuunin in front of him, and he couldn't help but say something for him that he didn't dare to say.

"It's like the Wood Release Ninjutsu is constantly growing in their bodies!"

"Captain...Mu Dun...is this possible?"

"Whether it is possible or not, now, this is the fact!"

"Search No. 20 Laboratory [-] immediately and prohibit anyone from entering!"

"All information has been upgraded to top secret!"

"Yes!"

Morino Kira, who slowly walked out of the research room, gently rubbed the scroll in his hand, with a bit of confusion in his eyes. He knew what kind of shock such an intelligence report would cause, but he didn't understand that, except for Konoha, Besides, how could there be a wood escape ninja in the ninja world?

"Could it be..."

As a middle-level member of the Konoha Intelligence Department who lives half of his body in darkness, at the captain level, he always has some secret sources of information, and he has also heard some rumors that ordinary ninjas cannot hear.

As if he thought of something, Morino Kira's pupils suddenly shrank, and the scroll in his hand suddenly seemed to turn into a time bomb.

There is absolutely no need to doubt his loyalty to Konoha, but he has been in Konoha for many years and is no longer a passionate middle school boy. He needs to consider not only Konoha, but also his own family...

Although he is one of the top figures in the Intelligence Department, in the face of the secrecy and strife at the top, he is just a little ant who can be trampled to death at any time...

"Tōtai, the bodies of these three jounin were sent here from the Iwa Ninja battlefield..."

"Yes……"

"Um……"

"I don't need to say anything else. You have been working in the Intelligence Department for several years. Confidentiality is the most important rule of the Intelligence Department..."

Morino Kira looked at Dongtai quietly, without any expression on his face, but it made Dongtai's heart tremble.

"Yes! Lord Morino!"

Although the ninja named Dongtai is young, he has worked here for so long and knows what such news means. Although he does not know the deeper secrets, he also knows that for such things, a soldier like him is best treated as Don't know anything.

"Well... let's go get busy..."

Morino Kira shook his head slightly and sighed softly looking at Dongtai's somewhat frightened look.

"I hope I think too much..."
