Naruto: Free Life

Above the clouds, the breeze blows across the people and animals on the top of the mountain.

Uchiha closed his eyes and sat quietly next to the tiger, breathing in and out and seeing spiritual energy pouring into his body continuously.

The tiger next to him seems to have been completely transformed. Based on his appearance alone, no one would connect it with the tiger of today.

The originally pure black stripes on his body turned half golden and half black, as if they were split in the middle starting from the center of his eyebrows.

Wherever he stayed quietly, he exuded the terrifying power of a tiger.

At this moment, the tiger has left his mortal body, and his life level has reached the same level as red phosphorus.

A body that is even stronger than before is hidden under the hair, and the rich vitality pulls the aura in the air.

The sense of energy that he had not noticed after working hard for a long time was obtained naturally, and it was more suitable for his tiger body.

Although the tiger can be seen to be stronger with the naked eye, it may be due to the influence of the contract. At this moment, Uchiha Chen sees the tiger as having a different kind of cuteness besides being mighty.

After a while, the tiger's eyelids moved slightly and his sharp claws stretched out unconsciously, and his body automatically entered self-protection mode.

The awakened tiger slowly opened his eyelids, and at this moment Uchiha Chen also turned his head.

One person and one tiger just looked at each other.

Seeing the confused look on the tiger's face, Uchiha didn't say anything. He smiled, and the magatama in his eyes instantly connected into a pattern, and a ray of red light flashed in the tiger's eyes.

The tiger who had just woken up did not know what had happened, but he was pulled into the realm of Uchiha dust.

Almost instantly, its consciousness entered a starry sky.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar space around it, it took two steps back warily.

"Yo."

Not far away, Uchiha Chen, standing under a tree, waved to the tiger.

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Tiger walked to Uchiha Chen's side doubtfully.

"Let me confirm first, do you still remember me?"

Uchiha smiled, pointed at himself and asked the tiger.

The tiger glanced at the big tree behind Uchiha Chen and shook his head.

"That's it..."

Seeing the tiger shaking his head, Uchiha Chen crossed his arms and frowned.

"You are very familiar."

Tiger frowned as if he was trying to remember something. He opened his mouth slightly and a mature male voice came into Uchiha Chen's ears.

"It seems that not only separation, but also fusion can cause memory loss."

Uchiha glanced at the tiger and said softly.

"It doesn't matter. It seems that you haven't lost some basic memories. You are much better than me before."

Withdrawing his gaze, Uchiha Chen turned around and sat down under the tree, leaning on the trunk, and said slowly.

"who are you?"

Seeing Uchiha Chen's actions, Tiger also lay on the ground and asked with confusion on his face.

"I should be considered your partner."

As he spoke, he pulled out the mark between Tiger's eyebrows.

"This is proof."

Pointing at the mark Uchiha Chen said slowly.

"Don't you remember anything about what happened in the past?"

Pressing the mark back, Uchiha looked at the tiger curiously.

"I do not remember."

After initially believing Uchiha Chen, Tiger frowned and shook his head.

"It's okay if it's gone, it's not a good memory."

Looking at the majestic tiger now, Uchiha didn't know whether to feel sorry or happy for him.

"I still want to know."

After hesitating for a moment, the tiger stared at Uchiha Chen solemnly and said.

"can."

Uchiha Chen smiled when he saw the tiger like this, reached out and picked a leaf from the tree behind him and handed it to the tiger.

"This is the memory you once left with me. I wish you good luck."

The leaves flew up and automatically floated to the tiger's eyebrows. The tiger, illuminated by the light, slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing the tiger like this, Uchiha let out a sigh of relief and lay down on his side out of boredom.

To be honest, he didn't know if the tiger in front of him was still the tiger he once was.

But judging from some small details, this silly tiger is definitely a tiger. Even the movement of lying there is exactly the same as when he first came in.

"It's really troublesome."

Turning over to lie flat on the ground, Uchiha frowned and muttered softly.

"From that boy to this tiger, what am I afraid of..."

Before Uchiha Chen could finish speaking, Tiger opened his eyes.

"My name is Tiger?"

The giant tiger looked at the imageless Uchiha Chen in front of him and said his name with a slight hesitation.

"recovered?"

Uchiha narrowed his eyes lazily and looked at the tiger in front of him.

"Ah."

The tiger nodded.

After Uchiha Chen asked, Tiger's eyes completely regained their clarity.

"It works pretty well."

Turning his head, he looked at the pure white tree trunk above and chuckled.

The next moment, the entire starry sky began to collapse.

The tiger's consciousness quickly retreated and returned to his body in the blink of an eye.

Just as the tiger was looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar world, Uchiha flew onto the tiger's belly and rubbed his face hard against the tiger's smooth fur.

"Get some sleep."

Ignoring the tiger who looked disgusted, Uchiha lay on its belly and closed his eyes in contentment.

Lying on his side on the ground, Tiger glanced helplessly at the Uchiha dust on his body, then looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, his eyes flashing with light.

I kept reminding myself that it was still the same tiger.
