Naruto hodgepodge
Chapter 92 Liberation
The morning light of the second day gently fell on Konoha Village, covering this peaceful day of rest with a layer of golden veil. Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji and Kiba gathered together. They wanted to rescue Yota, and then they discussed and planned to call Naruto, but when they arrived at Naruto's house, the original plan was not carried out directly, because Yota was at Naruto's house, and the gathering of several people instantly turned into a sea of joy.
Inside the house, laughter and playfulness intertwined, forgetting the upcoming separation. However, when Naruto solemnly announced that Yota was about to leave Konoha, the joy was like fallen leaves blown up by the autumn wind, instantly scattered all over the ground, and everyone's face was filled with reluctance and sadness.
On the way to say goodbye, they walked side by side, their steps were slow, but their hearts were closely connected. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on them, as if even the light was crowning this precious friendship. Finally, at the fork in the road at the entrance of the village, they reluctantly said goodbye and set off on their own journeys, but they all left behind the warm and short memories of Tai in their hearts.
When the crowd dispersed, leaving only Naruto and Yota standing opposite each other, the air was filled with an indescribable solemnity. At this time, the Third Hokage slowly walked into the scene, his eyes revealing the image of a kind old grandfather, holding the sealing scroll tightly in his hands.
"Naruto, you will be the one to escort this friend." The Third Hokage handed the sealing scroll to Naruto, "This way he will be truly freed."
Yota looked at Naruto, his eyes sparkling with gratitude and relief: "Naruto, you know what? Although I often felt lonely when I was alive, death allowed me to meet you. This is my greatest luck. Now I am more than satisfied."
Naruto took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "Yota, the next process may be a little painful, but I hope you can trust me. I will use illusion to help you and remove your seal first. Then you will not be controlled by others in the future, and your soul will rest in peace."
Yota smiled and nodded, that smile was full of trust in Naruto: "Naruto, I'm ready. No matter what happens, I believe in you."
As Naruto gently formed seals with his hands, the E-level illusion was performed silently. Although Yota's body was still, his consciousness was still clear. It was just that at this moment, he chose to leave everything to Naruto. Under the illusion, Yota's body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of soft light, and his body was handed over to Naruto to control.
Last night, Naruto thoughtfully discussed with the Third Hokage the innovative theory of the removal of the Impure World Reincarnation. He remembered the precedent mentioned by Kurama that Uchiha Madara had used his own strength to break free from the restraints when the caster removed the spell. This inspired Naruto to have a bold idea that perhaps the manipulated person could also actively seek liberation.
With this belief, Naruto skillfully combined the flow control of chakra and precise anti-hand seal techniques, and through a carefully woven illusion, guided Yota to make an unprecedented attempt. With a flash of dazzling light, Yota's face bloomed with joy of liberation. Although his body gradually became transparent, his ease and freedom were extremely clear.
The Third Hokage witnessed all this, his eyes full of approval and satisfaction. Naruto was a very kind child and was saving a soul.
"Naruto, thank you," Yota's voice was gentle and grateful, "Now I can leave in peace with those precious memories."
Naruto smiled and responded, "You have been freed from your restraints. Next, I will use the sealing technique to let you rest completely, like a dreamless sleep. In this way, you will never have to worry about being trapped by the Impure World Reincarnation again. Moreover, I promise you that if one day I can find a way to meet you without sacrificing my life, we will definitely meet again."
Yota heard this, his eyes sparkled with anticipation: "Hehe, that's great, Naruto. I look forward to that day, and I wish you can realize your dream soon. Next time we meet, we must play longer."
Thus, in that warm and slightly sad farewell atmosphere, Yuta's soul slowly rose, and was finally sealed in the special scroll containing the ancient spell. As his soul was freed, his illusory body, which had been given by the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, gradually turned into the tiny bones and dust that originally belonged to the little boy, lying quietly in this secluded place.
The third generation and Naruto stared at this scene, feeling both happy that Yota had regained his freedom and sad about the impermanence of life. Naruto turned his gaze to a small naturally formed pit not far away, which seemed to be a resting place specially arranged by fate for this story.
Without much hesitation, Naruto stepped forward, carefully collected the remains of the little boy, and gently placed them in the pit. Then, he formed seals with his hands, chanted a simple and powerful spell, and activated the simple but respectful E-level ninjutsu - "Earth Style: Silent Filling".
As the chakra surged, the surrounding soil seemed to be given life. It slowly gathered and gently but firmly covered the remains of the little boy, as if Mother Earth was giving this young life a final hug and comfort in her own unique way. After a while, the pit was completely filled and the surface returned to its original flatness, as if nothing had ever happened.
Naruto stared at the land that was gently smoothed by the earth escape technique, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. In his heart, he not only felt for this unknown little boy, but also deeply resonated with the countless unknown lives in the entire ninja world. "Life is such a fragile existence." Naruto murmured to himself. In this vast ninja world, how many suffering people died silently in endless hunger, despair and darkness, and their deaths were like dust, gently brushed away without leaving any trace.
If he was in a story as he imagined, these ordinary people would be unimportant and could be discarded at will. But for him, this world was not a story. Apart from the nobles and their weapon ninjas, most ordinary people had to rely on gifts to survive. But fairness was impossible. This world needed some protagonists and villains to keep them alive. What a fucked up world.
Naruto knows that he can't change the past, nor can he prevent future tragedies. But what he can do is to cherish the people around him and strive to be the one who can bring light and hope to others. He wants to use his actions to prove that every life has its unique value and meaning, and to call on the world to give due respect and care to every unknown soul.
After Naruto finished all this, he looked at the seal scroll in his hand, he turned to face the Third Hokage, and said sincerely: "Grandpa Third Hokage, I want to personally keep Yota's seal scroll as a testimony of our friendship and as a commemoration of him."
However, the Third Hokage shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing some deep meaning: "No, Naruto. This scroll is of great importance and needs to be placed in the safest place in the village to ensure that it will not fall into the hands of the wrong people."
Naruto was stunned for a moment when he heard that, then he scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Ah? What do you want me to do to keep it for you?" There was some reluctance and a hint of coquettishness in his tone.
The Third Hokage smiled, his eyes glittering with cunning: "I have a lot of things to do today, and I have to accompany you to this place. Shouldn't you help me share some of the work?"
When Naruto heard this, he immediately understood the Third Hokage's intention. He pretended to be dissatisfied and muttered: "Hmph, so you were waiting for me here. You are such a cunning old man, exploiting child laborers!" Although he said this, there was no resentment in his tone, but instead a sense of intimacy and helplessness.
Hearing this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but burst into laughter. That laughter was hearty and warm, as if it could dispel all the haze. "Hahaha, Naruto, you are getting more and more interesting. Well, since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance. As long as you can complete the task I assign, I will consider letting you keep this scroll temporarily."
When Naruto heard that there was a chance, he immediately became energetic. He patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, Grandpa Sandaime, no matter what the mission is, I, Naruto, will go all out and ensure that it is completed!"
So, the two of them set out on the road back to the village with laughter. The sun shone on them, casting two long shadows, and for Naruto, this originally rest day was once again filled with busyness and growth, but it was all worth it.
Having just stepped into the border of the Land of Rice from the Land of Fire, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi are busy preparing for the establishment of a new base, hoping to secretly expand their sphere of influence in between Akatsuki missions. The sun shines dappled on the road ahead of the two, adding a bit of mystery and anticipation to this adventure.
As they carefully surveyed every possible location as a base, Orochimaru's brows suddenly knitted together, and a connection was severed in his heart. He tried to sense the soul connection with Tai that he had summoned through the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, but found that the once solid bond had quietly broken.
"Kabuto, my experiment has disappeared." Orochimaru's voice was low and serious. He quickly stopped and began to make seals with his hands, preparing to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Technique again, trying to summon Yota again. However, no matter how hard he tried, the technique never worked.
Seeing this, Kabuto quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Lord Orochimaru, are you okay? What happened?"
Orochimaru shook his head slightly, his eyes deep and deep: "Could it be the sacrifice? The sacrifice we prepared last time did not meet the requirements of Impure World Reincarnation, or it was interfered by some unknown force, causing Yota's soul to be unable to maintain stability."
Doubt flashed across his face when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure: "I see, then we can find a new and more suitable sacrifice for the next test."
Orochimaru nodded in agreement. "Yes, time is running out, but we should first secure the location of the new base. I can't stay in Akatsuki for too long, and being watched by the Rinnegan would delay my experiments. Akatsuki's mission has priority now. Kabuto, go investigate the available resources and intelligence around us immediately. We must speed up our pace."
In the ever-changing world of the ninja, the Fuma clan, an ancient clan once known for its chakra research, has gradually faded out of people's sight. Faced with the rise of ninja forces from various countries, the glory of the Fuma clan is gone, and its strength is weakening. All family members are eager to regroup and restore their former glory.
So, on the edge of despair and hope, Orochimaru, one of the three most famous ninjas in the ninja world, invited them to cooperate.
On an overcast afternoon, the leaders of the Fuma clan, including the strongest jonin Kageno, as well as Hairkiri who was good at paper-cutting techniques, and the Chi Spider who controlled the white spiders, stepped into Orochimaru's secret base with full of expectations and trepidation.
Orochimaru sat in the dim candlelight, next to him was his right-hand man Kabuto, the two of them looked at the three uninvited guests with a scrutinizing gaze. Orochimaru raised a meaningful smile and slowly said: "I have heard of the Fuma clan for a long time. Your arrival has given me the possibility of cooperation."
Kageno stepped forward and said respectfully but firmly, "Lord Orochimaru, although our Fuma clan has declined, our research on chakra has never stopped. We are eager to use your power to revive our clan, and we also hope to contribute to your great cause."
There was a hint of amusement in Orochimaru's eyes. He clapped his hands lightly and motioned Kabuto to come forward. Kabuto took out a scroll with a complex seal pattern drawn on it. "Cooperation? Of course. However, I need to see your sincerity and potential. I have decided to conduct a seal experiment on the three leaders among you. This is both a test and an opportunity."
Hearing this, Hair Qili and Earth Spider looked hesitant, but Yingye stood up without hesitation: "I am willing to accept this test. For the future of my family, I am willing to take all risks."
Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction, and then began to explain the mystery and risks of the curse seal: "The curse seal is the result of my many years of research. It can temporarily stimulate the potential of the human body and give you unprecedented power. But please remember that this power is not without cost. It may erode your will and even threaten your life."
Kabuto added, "Moreover, this will also be a test of our loyalty to the Fuma clan. Only those who are truly willing to serve Lord Orochimaru can harness this power."
Yingye, Faqir and Jigumo looked at each other, with determination and uneasiness in their eyes, but in the end they all nodded, indicating that they were willing to accept the challenge.
So, under the guidance of Orochimaru, the three of them accepted the implantation of the curse seal one by one. As the curse seal was activated, their bodies underwent amazing changes, and their strength and speed were significantly improved. However, they also clearly felt the side effects of the curse seal - an indescribable desire and restlessness, as if something was stirring deep in their hearts.
At this moment, the fate of the Fuma clan is closely linked to Orochimaru. They are both collaborators and pawns. In this transaction, Orochimaru and Kabuto have brought the power of the Fuma clan under their control.
