Naruto Alchemist

Chapter 132 The Answer He Found
Sangsuke was dumbfounded.

My father Sato Tokisada punched the door of truth?What kind of plot development is this?
He was still saying that he was fighting Celsus who turned into a monster, but when the camera suddenly turned, he blew up the door of truth?
And it exploded with one punch?

"Are you sure it was my father who blasted the 'Gate of Truth'?"

Duanmu nodded very positively, "Although it's a bit unbelievable to say it, it was indeed Shi Zhen who punched the door of truth."

"The 'door of truth' that was blown up by Shizhen is probably the source of my alchemy ability?" Duanmu stared at his hands indifferently, "if he didn't blow up the 'door of truth' in time ’, I’m afraid that at that time, he and I would have to explain where we were.”

Helpless and silent, at this time, he recalled the conversation with the snow-white figure next to the "Gate of Truth" when he drew the reward "Gate of Truth" from the system.

"That man is the most courageous man I have ever seen."

"And the stupidest man ever."

If everything Duanmu said is true, then the "door of truth" I saw earlier may be what my father and Duanmu saw at the time. The two "doors of truth" were not punched by my father. The one that exploded?
If everything Duanmu said is true, then many problems that could not be explained before can all be explained.

But that is just to solve some previous problems that I had no clues at all, and I couldn't figure it out. While solving old problems, new problems also appeared.

Whose is the only remaining 'door of truth'?

Who is the snow-white figure?
Who is that soul in the stone called Celsus?
And where did the alchemy and alchemy system on my body come from? Does it have anything to do with Celsus?

"Senior Duanmu." Sangzhu asked, "Do you still have any memory of what happened after that?"

"After your father punched the 'Gate of Truth', do you still have any memory of what happened after the two of you successfully escaped from danger?"

Duanmu shook his head, "I don't have any memory, Shi Zhen told me afterwards."

"Shi Zhen said that after he blasted the 'door of truth', we were sent out of that boundless white space."

"What about Celsus? Has it disappeared too?"

Duanmu nodded, "Since that day, I haven't seen Celsus again. Shi Zhen said that Celsus was also injured after fighting with him. He may have escaped, or he may have stayed in 'Truth' door' over there."

"After that day, I discussed with Shizhen and decided to part ways."

"Shizhen chose to return to Konoha to inherit the family business of the Sato family, while I received an invitation from the fire country daimyo Kaito Kohei to go to Daming Castle and then become a blacksmith in the Daming Mansion."

"At the time of parting, I made an agreement with Shi Zhen to keep everything about alchemy secret about what happened that day, but if there is any news about Celsus, I will notify the other party immediately."

"However, after that, we didn't get any news about Celsus. In a flash, another two years passed."

"When I saw Shi Zhen again, it was more than two years after that incident, that is, ten years ago, when you were born." The smile on Duanmu's face became a little more nostalgic, "I still remember that Shi Zhen When Zhen and Chihaya came to pick me up with you in their arms, their faces were filled with happy smiles."

"Shizhen said that he never thought that he would have a day as a husband and a father. Now he just wants to grow old hand in hand with Qianhao, to take care of you together, and wait for you to grow up."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the meeting was the last time. After that, the Sato family gradually declined, and a sudden change happened a year ago. In the end, you were the only one left in the huge Sato family. You, however, have to endure the grief and bear all of this."

Having said this, Duanmu sighed again and again, full of embarrassment.

In his opinion, Sangzhu is still a child, it is a bit cruel to tell Sangzhu all this today, let him face all this prematurely, and bear all this.

But he had to do this, because of his body, he worried that if he didn't speak out, he would have no chance in the future.

Furthermore, these things have been held in his heart for too long, and he also wants to find someone to help share his inner pain.

The son of an old friend is the best person he can confide in.

After listening to Duanmu's story, Sangzhu got up quietly, stood on the edge of the window sill, looked at the sky outside the window sill and the sunset at dusk, and remained silent.

Duanmu stood next to Sangzhu, and accompanied him to look at the world outside the window sill, seeing the setting sun like blood and the blazing sky.

"Your father is a very nice person." Duanmu said slowly.

"I know." The assistant replied without turning her head.

"The deaths of Shizhen and Chihaya, the extermination of the Sato family, all these unusual things may be related to Celsus." Despite some hesitation, Duanmu still made this speculation.

"Well, I know." Sangsuke nodded vigorously.

"Although I don't know where you learned alchemy, can you please stop?" Duanmu's tone was pleading.

"You mean, you want me to give up alchemy?"

"Yes, just as your father persuaded me back then, I will persuade you now."

"Give up alchemy, child." Duanmu looked at Sangsuke beside him, "Just like your father Sato Tokisada, only using forging and ninjutsu, you can still make a difference in this world, and you can also revive The Sato family."

"Are you afraid that I will be in danger?" Sangzhu laughed, "You are worried that Celsus will find me, aren't you?"

Duanmu nodded, he squatted down to the same height as Sangsuke, looked into Sangsuke's eyes and said seriously: "Although my memory is missing, I still have a deep fear of the name Celsus. I believe, if he knows that someone in the Sato family has mastered alchemy, he will definitely come to him."

"I also know that I have no position to persuade you to give up alchemy, but these words of mine are all sincere, and the starting point is for your own good. I don't want you to follow my old path, and I don't want you in danger."

"Listen to my uncle's advice and give up alchemy, okay?"

"I'm not you, and I'm not the father."

After pondering for a long time, Sangzhu slightly shook his head.

"In the eyes of you and your father, alchemy is an art from the devil, and it is a bad thing. It should be kept as far away as possible. It is best not to touch it for the rest of your life."

"I also had this idea, but after seeing the 'Gate of Truth' and mastering more alchemy-related knowledge, there is only one thing I want to do."

"To promote alchemy, I want more people in the world to learn alchemy."

Duanmu looked at Sangzhu with astonishment as if seeing something unbelievable, "You said... you want to promote alchemy?"

"Yes, I want to promote alchemy." Sangzhu's tone was firm.

"A few days ago, I researched an alchemy product called a hemostatic patch. In my proposal to Hokage-sama, I mentioned the need to promote alchemy to increase production."

"Master Hokage and the others were very puzzled by my decision. They asked me why I would take out such a precious thing as alchemy and teach it to other people."

"At that time, I couldn't answer this question, because I didn't understand what I was thinking and why I did it."

"Until the other day, I finally found the answer."

"That was when I came back from Daming City. Two of my subordinates and I passed by a small village. It was a very dilapidated and backward village. There were only about twenty people in the village. On the day we passed by, the village A sacrifice is being held."

"They are paying tribute to the mountain god, hoping that the mountain god will bless them to go hunting and collecting medicine in the mountain safely, and the 'tribute' they pay are two 14-year-old girls."

"They tied the girl's hands and feet, and threw the girl into the mountain as a 'tribute' to the mountain god."

Duanmu looked thoughtful, as if he understood what Sangzhu wanted to say.

"When encountering such a thing, there is no way to just sit back and ignore it." Sangzhu continued on his own, "So I asked my subordinates to go to the mountain and rescue the two girls."

"Everything went well, and my subordinates brought the two girls back to the village, but what greeted us was the abuse from everyone in that small village."

"They are scolding us for meddling in our own business and disturbing the Lord Mountain God's eating. If something happens to them when they enter the mountain, it must be our fault. Follow along and scold us for being nosy."

"Mountain god? Tribute? Is this scientific?" At this point, Sangzhu laughed angrily, "Are there really gods in this world?"

"That doesn't exist, something that doesn't exist!"

Duanmu looked at Sangzhu silently, he already understood what Sangzhu wanted to express when he said this.

After all, he used to be an alchemist. Even though he can no longer use alchemy, the knowledge about alchemy is still in his mind.

How could Duanmu not know that alchemy is synonymous with science?

"You mean, do you think alchemy, or science, can break their superstition and ignorance?" Duanmu asked.

"I don't know either." Sangsuke shook his head, "But I want to try."

"That's why you don't want to give up alchemy?" Duanmu's tone softened a little.

"not quite."

Having said that, Sangzhu looked at Duanmu with a smile.

"If the death of the parents and the deaths of the clansmen are all related to Nacelsus, how could I let him go?"

"Since there is no way to find him, it is also a good choice to wait for him to show up and find him."
