Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 3 Malice
The claws were retracted.

A dark shadow came looming, and a huge face approached the gate.

A triangular face, golden pupils, and fluffy.

It's a fox.

A fox with a face that is taller than Naruto and has a magnificent body.

It grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth: "What did they say to you?"

"It can give you such an illusion."

Sarcasm, ridicule, and sarcasm.

Naruto frowned, slightly confused.

He didn't like this kind of naked and undisguised malice, but the teacher said that perhaps the Zanpakutō souls expressed their emotions in different ways, some were friendly, some were fierce, but there was no doubt that these gestures were their external tests to see if the sword holder was really qualified to pick it up to fight.

What I have learned flashes through my mind like pages of a book.

"You are the manifestation of my spiritual power." He answered, "and the most important companion who will accompany me throughout my life."

Kyuubi couldn't help laughing: "Psychic power. Partner"

"It's ridiculous."

"Have those guys in Konoha fallen to such a naive level?"

Naruto was stunned.

What did you hear?
Konoha?

How could it be "Konoha"? How could this fox utter such a word?

"How could it be related to Konoha?" he retorted subconsciously.

The Nine-Tailed Fox "Kuku" smiled and sarcastically retorted: "How can it be the same as Konoha?"

"I'm already dead." Naruto interrupted him, "I'm no longer in Konoha."

Jiuwei narrowed his eyes and was a little angry: "Dead?"

Not
I didn't even feel anything, and he died inexplicably?

The serious words coming out of the mouth of such a short man made me feel creepy in an instant.

Naruto sat cross-legged and told him what he had experienced in the past three years.

New words such as Soul Society, Death God, Maou Spiritual Arts Institute, and Gotei 13 entered the ears of the Nine-Tails one after another.

I have heard of the "Underworld" when it was just born and accompanied the old man "Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo". As for the God of Death, I have also seen it when it was in the belly of Konoha's first Jinchūriki "Uzumaki Mito".

It's completely different from what Naruto said.

A lie made up by Konoha?

Not like.

This kind of lie is meaningless and cannot deceive yourself.

And based on my own knowledge and experience, these things sound very consistent and don't sound fake.

This kid's thoughts are easy to understand, he doesn't seem to be lying.

"That's it." Naruto said calmly, "Whether you were born in my heart in Konoha or came to Soul Society, we will be partners from now on."

"Would you like to tell me your name?"

Kyuubi grinned and let out a heavy breath, "You sound very convincing, but I find it hard to believe what you say."

"It's better than this."

"Little boy, let me feel what you said."

Naruto wondered, "Feelings?"

"what do you want me to do?"

Kyuubi pondered, looking away from the curse seal on the gate: "Consider this as a reward for pleasing me this time."

"Don't resist my chakra anymore. I will control it and use your senses to experience the world."

It wanted Naruto to remove the curse seal and release itself.

But, although the things he said were different from the "underworld" in his understanding, they seemed to be true.

Half of his body was still sealed in the soul of the Fourth Hokage.

Compared with temporary relief, replenishing the whole body is more important.

"If it weren't for Konoha, would you give your name?" Naruto was stubborn and still cared about this issue.

bang-

Slamming his claws hard on the gate, Kyuubi became impatient with the question: "I might consider it, kid!"

Its power swept over, driving Naruto out.

It's black in front of you.

I experienced that feeling of weightlessness and falling again.

Haven't opened my eyes yet.

There was an extremely strong odor outside my nose that kept prying apart my nose hairs and rushing in.

Something is rotten.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked——

It was not that bright and spacious classroom, but I was lying on a bed in a small and cramped room.

There was something familiar about the room.

Yes. The place where I live in Konoha.

He stood up and looked blankly in the direction of the smell.

Untidy instant noodle buckets, open bottles of milk, and some unfinished fish and mushrooms that could be considered side dishes.
Memories flashed through my mind.

Instant noodles were almost the only staple food in the past few years. Not many people were willing to sell him anything, so he could only stockpile this cheap fast food.

I had to go to the mountains to get the fish and mushrooms myself. It wasn't easy to get those things.

Can.
Aren't you already dead?

How did I return to Konoha, to this place I had almost forgotten? What were those not easy but happy days in Soul Society and Maou Spiritual Academy?

"This doesn't seem to be the Soul Society you're talking about, kid." The Nine-Tails' slightly angry voice sounded in Naruto's ears.

Naruto came back to his senses: "Can you see it?"

"No." Kyuubi said impatiently, "But didn't I say that I can use your senses to experience this world?"

"so what."

"Where is the evidence in Soul Society?"

Naruto didn't say anything, he was also confused.

Is this a dream?

But such a long and real dream.
He frowned and was about to get up from the bed, wanting to push the door open and take a look.

But I felt a pain in my waist, as if something hard had poked me.

Naruto lowered his head.

It was a sheathed knife with the hilt resting against his lower abdomen.

He cheered up!
It's a shallow hit.

He reached out, grasped the hilt of the knife, and picked it up.

"Can you see this knife?" Naruto asked, his eyes burning.

Kyuubi was puzzled: "What's the matter with the knife?"

Its voice was stuck: "Hey, strange, you actually have a weapon in your hand."

It has seen many styles of ninja weapons.

No matter whether it was ordinary kunai or shuriken, or the seven blades with strange effects from Kirigakure, or even the palm-leaf fan and seven-star sword in the hands of the Six Paths Sage, they were completely different from the sword he perceived.

No matter how special those weapons are, they really exist in this world.

But the one in Naruto's hand.

If you are not reminded, you will ignore it.

It exists in a state of nothingness, connected with Naruto's aura, and can almost be regarded as a part of his body.

"This is the Asauchi I told you about." Naruto's voice became excited, "Although I don't know why we returned to Konoha, Asauchi came back with me, which means that the things in Soul Society and Maou Spiritual Academy were not a dream!"

“They really exist!”

Kyuubi snorted in disbelief.

"Now you should tell me your name." Naruto said confidently.

Kyuubi grinned, "It's just a weapon. That doesn't mean anything."

It is also confused.

It is hard to say that this weapon was forged by a ninja. In its long life, it has indeed seen some ninjutsu related to the soul - such as "Spiritual Transformation Technique" and "Shiki Fuujin". But even the death god summoned by the latter does not have this feeling.

Its intuition told it that Naruto was not lying and that Soul Society must exist.

But without seeing it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe.

Naruto held back and didn't yell.

He held the Asauchi in his hand, wondering why he had suddenly returned to Konoha.

Because of entering the inner world?

He tried Blade Zen again and entered the "sewer" again. After being driven out by the Nine-Tails, he remained in his own hut and did not return to the Maou Spiritual Academy.

Naruto also tried other strange methods one by one.

But none of them worked.

Can not go back?

Naruto looked through the window at the Hokage Rock in the distance and clenched the sword in his hand.

No.
still have a chance!

In the Gotei 13, there is a 13th Division that performs the duty of "purification" and will send the Shinigami to station in the world.

Konoha is of course no exception.

As long as he finds that god of death, he can return to Soul Society.

As for now
First, find out what changes have taken place in Konoha during the time I was away.

I just don't know how to explain to Konoha why I suddenly disappeared for three years and still look like a child after coming back.

However, the furnishings and arrangements in the house have not changed, and no one cares about it.
No one will care about me.

Naruto cleaned up the house and threw away the trash.

He took out the only one thousand or so assets from the drawer and went to the nearest convenience store.

Just got to the door.

Inside the house, an old man in an apron rushed out waving a broom in panic: "Get out, get out, you plague god!"

"I told you not to come near my store!"

Naruto looked up at him with a surprised look in his eyes.

I'm not surprised by his attitude.

Everyone in Konoha is like this, and they do not hide their malice towards me.

But he had spent more than three years in Soul Society, and the appearance of this convenience store old man had not changed at all.

He stood on tiptoe again to look at the electronic clock in the room. It was completely different from the mechanical alarm clock he used, and it displayed the time and date.

Not three years later.

It was still the first day since he left Konoha and arrived in Soul Society.

It's as if time stopped when I left and didn't flow again until I returned.

"You bastard, didn't you hear me?" The convenience store owner didn't care what Naruto was thinking. Naruto's refusal to back down and his sizing up of his own store made him even angrier. He raised the broom high and hit Naruto.
