Hokage: Ten-year-old Kaleidoscope, the beginning of betraying Konoha

With a flash, Natsume came to An Mitsuha's side in an instant.

She is located in the bubble prison at the bottom of [Dragon Palace City].

"How did you find it here?"

"Where is the Lord Egret?"

Kuro Mitsuha pointed to the gray key in his hand, and responded:

"This key has led me here."

"The other party should be inside this bubble, right?"

Although this artifact key has been scrapped, it still has a little magic, guiding An Yujinyu all the way.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look."

Natsume immediately made a decision.

He also really wanted to know what happened to the entire [Dragon Palace City]?

into the air bubbles.

The two of Natsume immediately saw the figure of the 【Castle Lord Egret】.

Precisely.

It was just a half-blurred phantom.

There is no breath of life.

Obviously, this is not the entity of Egret.

"As expected, you are here!"

The Lord Bailu turned to look at Natsume, and said with a bit of gratitude.

Natsume: "What are you?"

Bailu: "I'm already dead, this is just a spiritual imprint."

"The secret technique of the underworld: [Stilling God Illusion], I believe that Mr. An Yujinyu should know it?"

Tsuba nodded and explained to Natsume:

"A sealing-type secret technique. It can leave a soul imprint after the body dies, and still inherit the original memory thinking and part of spiritual wisdom, and maintain it for a period of time..."

"However, this also means..."

"It means that I am completely dead!"

City Lord Egret admitted frankly.

It seems that death is not a regret for him, but a relief.

listen to this.

Natsume was also silent.

This is similar to the operation of Minato and Kushina.Before death, seal part of Chakra and consciousness in Naruto's body.

In order to help Naruto suppress Kyuubi and inspire Naruto at a critical moment in the future.

It's just that this underworld secret technique is more advanced.

Even after the soul is annihilated, it can still continue the memory and thinking of the main body...

and.

The other party is obviously dead, but he deliberately left the soul imprint here.

It is estimated that they want to use the 230 times differential speed inside and outside the bubble.

Extend the time as much as possible.

After all, if the bubble lasts for one year, the city can last for 230 years.

Enough to wait until Natsume and Tsuha return.

It seems.

The egret city lord probably had important information to tell the two of them.

...

Although the result has been expected.

But at this moment, after confirming with his own eyes that [Castle Lord Egret] was dead, Natsume still couldn't help but secretly feel sorry.

The other party and him are not acquainted with each other.

and.

In a sense, the other party can be regarded as his brother-in-law.

In all honesty, Natsume didn't want to see 【Castle Lord Egret】 die.

"Can it be resurrected?"

Bai Lu: "Impossible. My soul has been completely extinguished. Even if it is [True God], it is impossible to save it..."

"Who did it? Is it the Xushi guy?"

"No, [Zhen Ruo Wang] did it."

Natsume was taken aback.

Did you guess wrong?

[True King] Why did that guy attack [Dragon Palace City] now?

What is he drawing?

Have nothing to do when you're full?

"how come?"

"Haven't you already reached an agreement with the [Royal Family], hasn't the [Royal Family] already controlled most of the [Dragon Palace City]?"

"Why is he?"

【City Lord Egret】Sighed:

"Hey, we were all deceived by him."

"The purpose of [Royal Family] is not to seize [Dragon Palace City] at all, but for the [Artifact Core] in my hand!"

"Remember that 【Otsutsuki Oji】?"

Natsume: "Of course I remember."

"But, is that guy a fake?"

"After I left [Dragon Palace City], I saw the real 'Otsutsuki Yuji' in [Royal City]."

"So, who is that guy pretending to be?"

Bailu: "He is [True King] himself!"

Natsume was surprised again.

To know.

When 'Otsuki Yuji' was dominating the [Dragon Palace City], the deity of [Zhen Ruo Wang] was in the [Yellow Spring Realm], preparing for the ceremony of being promoted to [True God]!

How could that fake Otsutsuki Yuji be King Zhenruo?

[Dragon Palace City] is independent of [Shiyuan Realm], and [Yellow Spring Realm] is also independent of [Main Universe].

separated by two world barriers.

No matter how strong the True King is, it is impossible to control it seamlessly through the air?

This is too outrageous, right?

...

City Lord Egret continued:

"The [Zhenruo King] did come to 'Otsutsuki Yuji', or were the two swapped? Or some other ability..."

"How he did it, I don't know."

"But I can never be wrong."

"The one who fought against me was indeed 【Zhenruo King】 himself!"

"Only he can have that overwhelming strength, as well as three complete [artifacts]!"

Hearing this, Natsume was stunned again.

Since City Lord Bailu is so sure, then the other party must be [True King].

The two sides fought to the death.

If you still can't tell whether the enemy is 【True King】 or 【Virtual Style】.

It is impossible for the egret city lord to live to this day.

not to mention.

Being able to kill egrets, and possessing three complete [artifacts]...

Except for [Zhen Ruo Wang] and [Xu Shi]; looking at the entire Otsutsuki clan, it is impossible for anyone else to do it.

but.

What really puzzled Natsume was.

[True King] Why do you do this?

That guy doesn't lack [artifacts] at all, does he?

Even if you defeat Egret, get the [Artifact Core], and control the entire [Dragon Palace City].

It is also impossible to help him win the virtual style!

After all, this [City of Artifacts] cannot be taken away...

On the contrary, I will be bound here, and I will never be able to leave [Dragon Palace City]...

...

Natsume: "What the hell did he do?"

Egret: "Investigate [Dragon Palace City], kill me, seize and destroy the [Artifact Core], and finally released [Datong Mulong Style]..."

"Dragon pose?!"

"That's right, that's the original [King of Otsutsuki]."

"Don't forget, this [Dragon Palace City] was a prison independent of time from the very beginning!"

Count 10 years ago.

When the dragon style built this [Dragon Palace City], it was obviously used to imprison a large number of "captive spirits of the Yellow Spring lineage".

In fact, he wanted to use it to lock the blood vessels of [Ancestor True God].

As for why it needs to be locked?

Then I don't know...

At last.

Dragon Pose was both a success and a failure.

He successfully built this [City of Artifacts];

But it also failed to be suppressed by [Otsutsuki Yara], and was permanently imprisoned in this [Dragon Palace City].

"Where is the Dragon Form sealed?"

"Remember the 'Eternal Darkness Area' you entered through the key?"

"That is the core of [Dragon Palace City], and it is also the area used to imprison [Datong Mulong Style]."

"I have long guessed that the [Royal Family] or [Parliament] will do something to me sooner or later."

"That's why I handed over the 'Key of the Artifact' to Mr. An Mitsuyu."

"I hope that when you enter [Dragon Palace City] again, I can tell you all the secrets about [Dragon Palace City]."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the [Royal Family] would attack me so impatiently."

"I didn't even expect that it was the [Zhenruo King] who personally made the move..."

The egret sighed again.

The deep sigh is beyond words.

Having been in charge of Dragon Palace City for so many years, he naturally has his own plans and schemes.

The sealed [Datong Mulongshi] was one of his plans.

Unfortunately.

All his revenge schemes are under the surprise attack of [True King], under the opponent's absolute strength!

It crumbled inch by inch and turned into nothingness...

Tens of thousands of years of hard work and forbearance were shattered.

He failed to destroy the [royal family] with his own hands, and failed to avenge his mentor and lover.

He was naturally unwilling and extremely remorseful.

Fortunately.

I have left a soul imprint in advance, so I won't let all the truth be buried here...

"So, [Zhen Ruo Wang] is to rescue [Dragon Style]."

"To welcome back the first [King of Otsutsuki] and help him fight against [Xu Shi]?"

Natsume guessed.

But before Bailu could answer, Natsume immediately denied it.

"Not too possible!"

"That guy is definitely not this kind of person."

"Let's not pin our hopes on others."

"He rescued [Datong Mulongshi], he must have other plans!"

Even though I have only seen [True King] once.

But Natsume knew his character very well.

That kind of king who is so proud to the bone is absolutely impossible to be cowardly enough to form an alliance with others!

Moreover, if he really pins his hopes on [Dragon Style].

It is also impossible to delay until now to rescue the other party.
