Naruto: Fox and Cat

After seeing Naruto coming back, Sasuke immediately asked anxiously, "How's it going? Have you found a way to save Feng?"

Naruto pursed his lips and shook his head. When he was completely panicked, the teleportation array at his feet suddenly lit up, and then a leaf appeared there.

Feeling the powerful chakra of this leaf, Naruto bent down to pick it up and saw a line of ancient text written on it that was completely incomprehensible, "What is this?"

Itachi looked at it, and the Sharingan in his eyes easily deciphered the text message, "[Pay attention to the legend]? And this is a leaf of the sacred tree."

"It seems that Kaguya really cracked the teleportation spell just now." Sasuke frowned slightly, feeling a little confused that Kaguya didn't come down to take revenge on them in person.When he tested the function of the portal before, he also went to the sacred tree.Seeing his arrival, Kaguya didn't even feel surprised, and even pointed out some flaws in his technique.

Naruto looked at the leaves of the sacred tree in his hand quietly, and when he recalled Kaguya's calm words of relief, he had already guessed the reason, "She will not return to this world full of strife, she seems to have found It’s about knowing where you belong.”

"If that's the case, then that's for the best, but you still have to be more vigilant." Itachi did not let down his vigilance. After looking at the leaves of the sacred tree again, he couldn't help but frown slightly, "But, what is the legend she told? What is it? I haven't heard many legends related to Miss Feng and others before."

"There aren't many secrets in Konoha." Sasuke said calmly. When he helped clean up Konoha's ANBU, he checked the information and didn't find much useful information.

"As expected, I still have to go to Kirigakure Village to look for it." Naruto said in a deep voice, took out a scroll, sealed the sacred tree leaf, and handed it to Itachi for safekeeping.

At this time, the two Nine Lamas who had been in the inner world discussed with Yiwei to Qiwei for a long time, and finally found a person who could save Ying Luofeng from the messy memories.When it found out that Naruto really planned to break into the secrets of other hidden villages, it couldn't help but feel ashamed. Kurama No. 1, who was too lazy to fight again, said directly, "Hey, Naruto."Even if you turn Kirigakure Village upside down, you still won't be able to find a way to save your woman. As long as anyone has chakra, there is no way to interfere in the affairs of that clan. ]

[That’s right, we don’t want to participate in another war! ], Nine Lama No. 2 also protested, and the other tailed beasts also wagged their tails to express their agreement with the stinky fox.

[How will you know if you don’t try?Or, Jiulama, have you thought of any solution? ], Naruto's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that the tailed beasts who had lived hundreds of times longer than him might have heard of something.

[It’s not really a solution, I just suddenly remembered a legend.It’s the kind of legendary story you want,] Nine Lama No. 1 in the inner world flicked his tail and reminded him with a headache, [Do you still remember that when you were practicing with Jiraiya, you were suddenly hit by someone once? Sent to collect the sea fog at zero o'clock of the full moon? ]

[That's what happened, the lustful immortal's expression was very serious that time,] Naruto vaguely remembered this incident. That time, like a fool, he conjured thousands of shadow clones, holding a bottle while holding time on the sea. I collected countless bottles of sea mist like crazy, but only a few drops passed the test.

[I don’t know what the lustful immortal said about those mist,] Naruto curled his lips, and his expression relaxed a little when he recalled his master.

[That was not what Jiraiya asked. Maybe you didn't notice it at that time, but I heard him mention a somewhat familiar name. ], Nine Lama No. 1 paused, and then rarely spoke seriously, [Naruto, go and find the descendants of that clan.Combined with the medicine given by the goddess before, that clan might be the only one in the world who can bring the Yingluo clan back to life. ]

"!!" Naruto's pupils shrank, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement due to this huge news, "Do you think it's true? Nine Lamas..."

[I heard similar rumors when I was the Second Hokage.Only now do I remember such a thing.Rather than spending time in Kirigakure Village to find some information compiled by ninjas, it is better to believe in those legends. After all, the existence of the Sakura clan is almost like a legend. ]

"I know, thank you, Nine Lamas!" Naruto nodded vigorously, then emotionally grabbed Sasuke's shoulders and shook them hard, "The wind is saved!! Nine Lamas said there is someone who can save him. she!!"

Sasuke was so frightened that he forgot to push him away. After a few seconds, he calmly nodded and asked him to explain carefully, and then he and Itachi helped search for information about that person and give him information.

....................................

Yuyue is both good and evil, her whereabouts are uncertain, and her life and death are unknown, but it is rumored that she has the power to bring the dead back to life.As long as the body is still there, no matter who you are, you can regain your life.

No one knows when she appeared. They only know that when she is about to be forgotten, someone will always mention her inadvertently.

The Nine Lamas originally didn't care about these messy things of human beings, but they just heard it as a joke one time.But now it seems that this rumor has suddenly become a life-saving straw.

Kurama No. 1, who suddenly felt that he was much greater, couldn't help but keep shouting. As a result, Kurama No. 2, who couldn't stand it, and the other tailed beasts teamed up to beat up Yi Donghuang before he calmed down.

Finding an elusive person is not easy, and may even be impossible.It is difficult to find any clues in an aboveboard place, and information usually flows in the unknown darkness.

And when you enter those darkness, even if you don't want to, you will uncontrollably know the darkness and greed in human nature.

Peace is all superficial after all, and the conspiracy that is about to take place now, even if it is minimal, has already begun to brew and sprout.And these can only be seen clearly when you are in darkness...

In an old tavern hidden in the corner of an alley, there were drunkards in ragged clothes making a lot of noise, and people with furtive eyes were secretly discussing something in the corner.

The bartender sitting lazily behind the bar is already old. When customers come to order drinks, they just push the bottles forward impatiently, regardless of their source of income.

In these places, gossip is usually mixed with a lot of gossip that is usually difficult to hear:

'Hey, have you heard?The guys from the Ninja Alliance decided to release all the tailed beasts except the Kyuubi! '

'well?Isn’t this news from a long time ago?Everyone knows it. '

"Yes, yes, I saw a group of ninjas trying to find the tailed beasts before."

"Idiots, they heard that the eight tailed beasts are locked in other dimensions and there is no way to find them."

"No, no, no, there is a way. It is said that Uchiha Sasuke's Samsara Eye is the key to opening that space. As long as...hehehehehehe..."

…………

There was a faint greedy laughter, and the discussions were still going on, unscrupulously discussing how to get the eye from the powerful Uchiha, and then get those extremely powerful tailed beasts.

Everyone wants to have the power that is so powerful that it can dwarf the heroes.

Even though the tavern was very noisy, their conversation fell on the ears of a man sitting in the corner, tightly wrapped in a cloak.

Slightly longer blond hair was exposed from under the brim of the hat, and the sky-blue eyes hidden in the shadows did not waver because of those people's excessive words.And because he didn't wear a ninja forehead protector, people in the tavern wouldn't know he was a ninja even if they saw his face.

He has heard these words too many times, and because he has heard them too many times, he has gone from being angry at the beginning to being calm now.And now he realizes how well protected he and Jiraiya were when they came out to practice.Even though it seemed irresponsible, Jiraiya never took him to that kind of truly dangerous and dark place. He just silently blocked the dark side of the world and taught his students to look towards light and peace.

Listening to those people discussing how to gouge out his friend's eyes, he calmly finished his meal and left here silently.

It's not that he has become indifferent, but because there are too many gossips, too many.

What's more, he also informed Sasuke and Itachi to be careful. If anything went wrong, he would rush over to help immediately.

The tailed beasts are too powerful, and if they were to return to the ninja world, it would only bring another turmoil.What's more, those tailed beasts have long been tired of the world, and it seems good to make noises in his inner world every day. After Sasuke completes his training, he will send them to Kaguya's space.

This is enough.

Of course, some people complain that to a certain extent, Konoha is equivalent to having all the tailed beasts in its hands.Not only does it have the jinchūriki of the Kyuubi, but it also knows where the other tailed beasts are.

The five major ninja villages also negotiated and agreed on the way to deal with the tailed beasts. After all, the first Hokage also sought peace by distributing tailed beasts. However, it turns out that too strong the power of the tailed beasts will only bring more chaos.

It's better to let them leave the ninja world and live freely in another space.As for the Nine-Tails that is still sealed in him, Naruto said that after his death, the Nine-Tails will be sent to Kaguya's dimensions.Rabbi Kiri, the eight-tailed jinchuriki, also thinks this method is good. After all, the power of the tailed beasts is too terrifying.

There are no tailed beasts in every ninja village. If the starting point is relatively fair, then the only way to compete is based on strength.

And Naruto also believed that with the strength of Sasuke and Itachi, no one would be so presumptuous as to go to them.

[There is no news from this place either...] After slowly walking out of the tavern, he couldn't help but frown anxiously.In the past few months, he has found all the places where he might find clues, and asked everyone who could inquire, but there has been no news, as if the person suddenly evaporated from the world.

Sasuke and the others would occasionally send some information, but in the end they still couldn't find any trace of that person...

[The next place seems to be Sunagakure Village. ], Naruto thought about where to go next, and when he was about to leave, he keenly felt traces of someone following him around.But he didn't say anything. After all, people kept trying to attack him these days, and he was used to it.

During this time, he realized that the world was not as simple as he thought.True peace may not really exist...

However, how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for this seemingly peaceful surface...

When Naruto, who was stuck in his thoughts, suddenly came back to his senses, he found that he had come to a wilderness, and at the same time, the shadow that had been following him was also a little bit impatient.

But he didn't want to cause trouble here, after all, it would be easy for people to discover his whereabouts.He disappeared without waiting for the people behind him to react.

It is night.

Naruto found a piece of flat land and prepared to sleep in the wild. It was common for ninjas to sleep in the open air.After sitting casually on the stone, Naruto silently took out the small glass bottle and looked at it. The blue candy wrapper inside was still well kept.

It has been more than six months since I was separated from Sasuke and the others, but I still haven't found any clues about Mitsuki.

It had been nearly two years since he left the Yingluo clan. Although Lei would send a letter every three months to inform Yingluofeng of her physical condition, he knew very well that the longer the time dragged on, the worse it would be... …

Shikamaru would occasionally send him some learning materials through the psychic frog he stayed in Konoha, which also contained clues that he helped investigate.

The orange firelight reflected the small glass bottle, and the halo through the transparent glass reminded him of the evening when he met the girl.

Her childish face in the memory made him couldn't help but smile, but the next second he suddenly clenched the small glass bottle in his hand and looked warily at the shadow of the rock in front of him, "Who?"

"You're on good alert, young man." A familiar voice sounded, and then Wu walked out of the shadows carrying a knife.

She was still wearing black clothes with twin ponytails, but there was a lot of blood and dirt on her body, as if she had just returned from a battle.

"Wu? Why did you come out? And you were injured?" Naruto was a little surprised to see her here. In theory, she should stay with the Sakura Clan.

"I came out to find something, but we didn't have enough manpower. The blood belongs to others. A few reckless guys wanted to take my blood, so I beat them up." Wu sat directly on the ground and wiped his body casually. After bleeding, she looked at him and asked as if sighing, "Young man, haven't you given up yet?"

"I won't give up." Naruto did not waver at all, but asked worriedly, "How is Feng's health?"

Wu glanced at him silently, then said with a proud smile, "Don't worry, it's no problem at all. Now Miss Yue Ling is taking care of them in the clan, so I can go out to look for things with peace of mind."

Naruto intuitively felt that what she was looking for was important, so he asked, "What is that? I can help you find it by the way."

"A kind of medicinal herb, we should find it soon." Wu did not say clearly. After she glanced at Naruto again, she noticed the hand he held, "That is..."

"Oh, this~" Naruto spread his hands to let her see the small glass bottle in his hand. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and said with nostalgia, "This is what Feng and I left when we first met. Now it's It’s like my amulet. Every time I think about the wind, I will take it out and look at it~”

"Candy wrapper?" Wu raised her eyebrows and couldn't help laughing when she saw Naruto nodding, "When Sister Feng kept saying that she caught a fox with candy, I didn't understand what it meant. It turned out to be You~"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then just smiled and carefully held the small bottle in his hand.

Wu hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees and tilted her head to look at Naruto. After a while, she asked, "Young man. I never understand why you care so much about Sister Feng?"

"Why...", Naruto thought seriously, and the girl's gentle smile appeared in his mind. She was as gentle as water but as strong as an unsheathed sword when fighting.It seems contradictory, but it is so eye-catching.

And earlier, before he was aware of it, she quietly took over all of him...

Thinking of her frown and smile, Naruto raised his eyebrows tenderly and whispered, "There's no reason why, that's the wind~~"

"..." Seeing the gentleness between the blond boy's eyebrows, Wu opened her mouth to say something, but she was just silent.

After a while, she stood up, patted her clothes and said, "Okay, I've had enough rest. Let's go now."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, looking at the dark night around him and couldn't help but feel worried, "Why don't you take a rest? How about I follow you to the next place?"

"It's not necessary. We are used to traveling at night." Wu waved her hand carelessly and tossed him a ball of paper. "I'm looking for you this time to give you this. We can't walk up to where that guy lives."

"What is this?" Naruto opened it doubtfully, but there was only one address inside.

"Our purpose is the same, so there is no need to waste time. What's more, young man, your personality is too gentle. You must know that the more advanced the information, the less likely others will give it to you." Wu wiped her face. The dried blood stains and the smile on her face made her look like an ignorant girl, "I'm very good at digging out information from those guys~"

Naruto was stunned for a moment. Seeing Wu's appearance, it was not difficult to imagine what kind of method it was.

"Anyway, young man, you have to find a way to bring her to the tribe. It doesn't matter if you knock her out or kidnap her. I have other things to do." Wu's expression became serious, and then she waved her hand and got ready. leave.

Naruto also saw her haste, and remembered what he had always cared about before, and couldn't help but ask, "Wait, Wu. There is something I care about. Yue Ming and Sister Yun are really..."

Wu paused for a moment, then said, "As you knew before, Sister Yun fell into a deep sleep. And don't you know about the situation of Young Master and Sister Feng?"

"But it always feels a little strange, like something is being hidden from me."

[What a disgusting intuition! ], Wu who was busy on her way scratched her head irritably, turned around and said angrily, "You want the truth, don't you? Then let me tell you, if Sister Feng doesn't wake up in another half year, then she will never wake up again." I can’t wake up.!”

"Half a year?!" Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief, he took a few steps forward, grabbed her and asked excitedly, "Why is this happening all of a sudden?! Didn't you just say it was fine?"

"Of course her body is well preserved, but it's not certain whether her spirit can hold on. I'll explain it to you in detail later. I have something urgent to do." Wu helplessly reached out to slap his hand away and continued to turn around. Leave, "So that guy is asking you to leave. I'll leave first."

"..." Naruto stared blankly at her back and blinked his eyes into the darkness. After suddenly coming back to his senses, he quickly determined the address on his hand, switched to the Six Paths mode and flew directly into the air. Get ready to fly directly to your destination. .

In the dark night, the orange light and shadow moved quickly, drawing an afterimage in the dark world.
