Reincarnation: Cthulhu from Konoha

"Lu Ye-chan, what are you doing?" Asaba Kyoka asked while squatting beside the floor with her hands on her knees.

"I'm making a gift for Shengshu. His birthday is coming soon." Lu Ye used the clay on the bed table to shape some kind of animal.

"Lu Ye-chan, your hands are so skillful! What animal are you pinching?"

"It's a puppy."

"Oh, I thought it was a frog."

Lu Ye paused and looked up at Asaba Kyoka, "You were praising me for my skill just now."

"Yes."

"But you don't even know what I'm doing."

Kyoka Asaba blinked and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "But Lu Ye-chan's hands are beautiful."

"..." Lu Ye was speechless.

He stopped talking and focused on pinching his puppy.

He had already planned that when he gave the gift away, he would say it was a frog.

After a while, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"What's going on?" Lu Ye asked.

"I don't know, I'll take a look."

"That Jonin from Iwagakure Village ran away." Uchiha Fugaku appeared in the corner of the cubicle at some point, with a terrifyingly rigid expression.

Asaba Kyoka kept silent and hid beside Lu Ye.

"Jounin of Iwagakure Village?" Lu Ye looked confused.

"Yes." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, "It was the elite Jonin Kari of Iwagakure Village who attacked you before. In order to break free from the chain, he bit off one of his arms."

Lu Ye shuddered in horror, "Scary."

Uchiha Fugaku crossed his arms and nodded: "Indeed, there is a chain around Kari's neck. If he doesn't twist his neck to a certain extent, he can't bite his arm at all. No one expected that he would be so cruel to me."

"Anyway, we will take care of this matter. Don't worry, Uehara-sama." Uchiha Fugaku said, made a few simple seals, and disappeared in an instant.

Since the night of Kari's attack, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Uchiha Fugaku had stayed behind, responsible for protecting Riku Ye's safety.

In fact, Namikaze Minato was not an ANBU of Konoha. He took the initiative to protect Lu Ye. He also borrowed the ANBU's tanuki mask from Uchiha Fugaku.

After the mission, Namikaze Minato returned to the front line. He left in a hurry. Before leaving, he said something that Lu Ye once used to deceive Jiraiya: "The war on the front line is urgent. I don't know how many people are dying every moment." .”

Minato Namikaze must have heard this sentence from Jiraiya. I think Jiraiya was also deeply touched by this sentence, so he told it to Minato Namikaze.

Of course, none of this had much to do with Lu Ye. He continued to pinch his... frog.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it came to August [-], Shengshu’s birthday.

Lu Ye specially came to the front line to celebrate Shengshu's birthday.

The war lasted for a long time, and even the smell of blood lingered in the air.

In a spacious accommodation camp, the yellowish light of candle flames made the compartment warm.

"Teacher, when will the rope tree arrive?" Lu Ye sat on the tatami, seemingly bored by the waiting, twiddling his fingers.

"Wait a minute, a small conflict broke out on the front line. He will come back after completing his mission; he heard that you are coming to celebrate his birthday. He has been very excited in the past few days."

Tsunade found a large coat to wrap up Lu Ye, and sat on the tatami next to him, "Lu Ye, you are not in good health, so you don't need to come here."

She held Lu Ye's little hand, which felt very cold to the touch, "Look, my hands are so cold."

"It's okay, teacher, Sister Jingxiang has always taken good care of me." Lu Ye spoke softly.

"By the way, teacher, I came here this time to bring a gift to the rope tree. I made it myself." Lu Ye said, taking out a baked ceramic animal from his arms.

Tsunade took it, held it in her hand, looked up and down, and asked, "Is it a frog?"

"Yes, it's a frog." Lu Ye smiled.

"If it's your first time doing it, it's pretty good. Rope Tree will probably like it."

Lu Ye suddenly didn't know how to reply.

At this moment, an urgent voice came from outside: "It's not good, Tsunade-sama!"

……

Lu Ye walked out of the tent filled with the smell of alcohol evaporation. The night rain outside the tent soaked Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Shengshu was lying in the tent at this time, dead. He died on the way here. He was mentally dead. Even if Lu Ye tried his best to treat him, he could only restore his body.

Because Lu Ye was celebrating Shengshu's birthday today, Shengshu was too excited and didn't notice the enemy's detonating talisman trap...

Lu Ye's head was lowered, and shadows covered his eyes.

"Lu Ye! How is he doing?" Tsunade walked up to Lu Ye in a few steps and pressed Lu Ye's shoulders with both hands as if out of proportion.

Lu Ye's appearance at this time made Tsunade vaguely aware of something.

"Teacher..." Lu Ye raised his head, his hair was soaked in the rain and stuck to his forehead, his expression was lifeless: "I always thought I could save anyone... ha..."

Lu Ye chuckled and laughed at himself, "But I watched the rope tree die in front of me."

He smiled, but tears welled up from his eyes like bursting dams. His nails dug into his palms, and his teeth bit his lower lip until it bled, but he seemed not to notice at all.

His eyes quickly became heavy, the black curtain fell in his field of vision, and Lu Ye suddenly fell softly into Tsunade's arms.

"Lu Ye! Lu Ye! What's wrong with you!?"

In my ears, there is a sound gradually drifting away.

Lu Ye woke up from coma five days later. The rope tree had been buried. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the gray-green tent cloth smudged by orange and yellow candlelight, located directly above him.

Lu Ye glanced around and found that he was lying on the floor of the tent. Tsunade was lying on a low table not far away, already asleep.

While sleeping, Lu Ye received three messages from the paradise:

[You communicate with 'Tsunade', an important plot character in the Naruto world, and obtain 20.78% (10.39%x200%) of the source of the world. 】

[You communicate with 'Orochimaru', an important plot character in the Naruto world, and obtain 13.28% (6.64%x200%) of the source of the world. 】

[You communicate with 'Jiraiya', an important plot character in the Naruto world, and obtain 8.96% (4.48%x200%) of the source of the world. 】

He was completely weak at this time. In order to act more realistically, he exhausted his mana and forcibly extracted chakra from his body to treat the rope tree. His sudden collapse was really due to both mental and physical exhaustion.

In the eyes of Tsunade and others, he should be considered sincere.

"Lu Ye? When did you wake up?"

Tsunade's voice came, and Tsunade herself followed the footsteps to the floor and asked softly: "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

"Teacher, what time is it today?" Lu Ye looked at the tarpaulin on the ceiling with a dull expression.

Tsunade lowered her eyes and was silent for a few seconds before replying: "August 8th."

"How about the rope tree?"

"Lu Ye..." Tsunade's tone was lowered, and she reached into the quilt and held Lu Ye's little hand, "You have tried your best."

Lu Ye kept a dull expression and stared at the tarpaulin on the ceiling. Two lines of tears fell silently from the corners of his eyes unknowingly.

"Lu Ye." Tsunade was silent for a moment, blinked to prevent tears from flowing out of her eyes, and held Lu Ye's little hand tightly, "You have tried your best. I believe Naoshu will know that you work so hard for him. I will be very happy and happy to have a friend like you; and what Shengshu hopes to see most..."

"Teacher." Lu Ye said suddenly, his face still dull and his eyes losing some of their luster, "Why do people die?"

Tsunade couldn't answer Lu Ye's question for a while.

"I want to be alone." Lu Ye said.

"...Okay, teacher, go out first. Remember to call me when you are hungry."

"Don't worry, teacher." Lu Ye controlled his lips and showed a calm smile, "I'm not a child anymore, I know what I should do."

"Yes." Tsunade nodded without saying anything else. She glanced at Lu Ye worriedly, lifted up her somewhat heavy body, and walked away.

After Tsunade left, Lu Ye buried his head in the quilt, his shoulders shook, and he sobbed softly.

Then, his voice grew louder and louder, gradually resounding throughout the nearby camp.

Outside the tent, Tsunade stood alone in the pouring rain, her whole body soaked, looking up at the sky, still, her tears and rain could not stop falling on the muddy ground.

In the next few days, Lu Ye often spent time alone in a daze, and his words became much less frequent.

Tsunade spends a long time talking to Lu Ye every day, and her attitude towards Lu Ye has changed somewhat, becoming more gentle and casual.

"Lu Ye, I have a gift for you."

Tsunade took out a long green crystal necklace from her arms, which looked beautiful under the orange candlelight.

Lu Ye blinked and said softly: "What is this?"

"The necklace left by my grandfather, the first Hokage."

"The necklace of the First Hokage!" Lu Ye was startled and waved his hand quickly, "It's too valuable, I can't accept it."

"I'll give it to you, just take it." Tsunade forcefully placed the necklace in Lu Ye's hand, and then closed Lu Ye's hand.

……

Seeing the light blue text appearing in front of him, Lu Ye no longer resisted, pretending to be forced by Tsunade's strength, and nodded gently.

"That's good." Tsunade gently rubbed Lu Ye's head and said with a smile: "I accepted the ceramic frog you made as a return gift from you."

Lu Ye nodded gently again.

He was thinking about other things in his mind. Since Tsunade gave this necklace to him instead of giving it to Kato Dan, it meant that Kato Dan might not die.

Then, Lu Ye's previous plan should be abandoned, and there is no need to wait for Kato Dan's death to further stimulate Orochimaru.

Even if Kato doesn't die, Orochimaru will most likely turn completely black. It's just a matter of time. This is determined by Orochimaru's childhood experience and the behavioral patterns developed at the roots of Konoha.

The only question is whether Orochimaru can be interested enough in Lu Ye.

In recent days, Lu Ye heard from Tsunade that Orochimaru stayed in the village after escorting Nasuki's body back to Konoha Village.

"Teacher..." Lu Ye's voice was soft.

"Ok?"

"It's nothing." Lu Ye lowered his head and placed his eyes casually on the white quilt, "Teacher, I want to go back to the village and stay for a while."

"...That's fine. You really need to cultivate yourself well. I'll arrange for someone to take you back."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Talk to me and don't be so outspoken." Tsunade chuckled and rubbed Lu Ye's head.

Lu Ye smiled faintly and didn't respond much, just like the few days ago when he was taciturn and his eyes were frozen.

Three days later, Lu Ye returned to Konoha Village.

The yellowish sunlight cast down from the sky, making Lu Ye's back feel hot.

Lu Ye covered his eyes with his hands and looked up at the bright white sky. The sun was a dazzling luminous body.

After staying in the Country of Rain for several months, Lu Ye felt a little nostalgic and uncomfortable seeing the scorching sun.

Walking at an unhurried pace, stepping on dry and solid land, he walked all the way to the Memorial Monument. The necklace in front of his white shirt shone in the sun. Lu Ye stared at the newly added writing on the Memorial Monument - Rope. Tree.

Lu Ye had no real feelings for Nao Shu, so he didn't feel sad for Nao Shu's death. It was just that Tsunade made him a little bit unable to let go, 'Teacher...'

"Lu Ye, you are indeed here."

Orochimaru, who had pale skin and a cold temperament, walked out of the dappled light and shadow of the woods.

Lu Ye was not surprised that Orochimaru would appear here. He came to see Orochimaru today; similarly, Orochimaru also came to see him.

"Lord Orochimaru, can you answer me a question?" Lu Ye looked at the memorial tablet with dense handwriting.

"What?" Orochimaru came to Lu Ye's side.

"Why do people die?"

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Orochimaru's mouth, and his voice was low and hoarse, shaking gently like a poisonous snake's tail disguised as bait: "Lu Ye, do you remember what I told you that night when I sent you home?"

"Your own death and the death of your loved ones are very sad and terrible things." Lu Ye said, his right hand seemed to be subconsciously placed on the clothes on his chest.

"Can you understand what I say now? Lu Ye."

Lu Ye nodded silently.

"The death of a friend is already so painful, but the death of a loved one or oneself will only make it more painful. Lu Ye, answer my question again, do you want to see this happen?"

As if subconsciously, Lu Ye clutched the clothes around his heart tighter, "I don't want to see this happen again."

"But..." Lu Ye looked at Orochimaru, "Lord Orochimaru, you wouldn't ask me such a question for no reason, would you?"

"Lu Ye, you are indeed a smart boy." Orochimaru knelt down and put his hands on Lu Ye's shoulders, eye level with Lu Ye, "Lu Ye, do you believe that there are techniques of immortality and resurrection in this world? ?”

"The art of immortality? The art of resurrection?" Lu Ye's dead eyes glowed with throbbing brilliance.

At the touch of Orochimaru's hands, Lu Ye's heartbeat increased by half a beat.

In Orochimaru's opinion, this was obviously a sign that Lu Ye was persuaded.

"That's right, Lu Ye, as long as you study these two ninjutsu, the things that make you sad and painful will never happen again, and the rope tree can come back to you alive." Orochimaru's voice was full of confusion. sex.

"...Why is Orochimaru-sama telling me this?" Lu Ye still acted calmly.

Lu Ye's reaction did not disappoint Orochimaru, but made him even more excited. He licked his lips with his long tongue, revealing his true purpose: "It's very simple, become my disciple, and then explore these two things with me." Ninjutsu.”

"Lu Ye, with my knowledge and your blood inheritance limit, we will definitely be able to explore the truth of this world!"

"But……"

Orochimaru's expression turned cold, and he pressed Lu Ye's hands hard, giving people a strong and irresistible feeling, "Lu Ye, are you really unwilling to follow me?"

"No..." Lu Ye lowered his head and held the corner of his clothes nervously with one hand.

Lu Ye's little move fell into Orochimaru's eyes, and he continued to press and ask: "Then tell me the answer, Lu Ye. Do you choose to follow me, or stay with Tsunade?"

"I..." Lu Ye closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and said as if he had made a difficult decision: "I want to follow Lord Orochimaru."

"Very good, Lu Ye, you made the right decision." Orochimaru stroked Lu Ye's head with a slightly cold hand, and his voice was so thin that only he could hear it, "From today on, you belong to me."

Meanwhile, on the front lines of the Second Ninja War.

Under the sky shrouded in dark clouds, amidst the mass of black and melee troops, Kari was fighting the ninjas of Konoha while quietly moving towards the position of the Third Kazekage.

Lu Ye's voice circled in his mind, "Hunter, go sneak attack the Third Kazekage."

"It's time to end the battle in the Kingdom of Rain."
