The legend of the clone behind the scenes of Naruto

"Shhh-"

The leaves swayed, and Orochimaru walked out.

"What took so long?" Uchiha Izumi asked impatiently.

"It would be good to get rid of him. Jiraiya is not that easy to deal with." Orochimaru said with a smile.

"Let's go." Uchiha Izumi turned around and left without saying anything else.

"Where are we going?" Orochimaru asked as he followed.

"The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village!"

"What are you going to do there?"

"Actually, I'm not the only one who came through time and space, there's another person, and he's been chasing me."

"Oh? Are you talking about the person wearing a fox mask?"

"Yes, it seems you have already met."

"Who is he? He always looks familiar." Orochimaru frowned and thought.

"you guess!"

"Yellow hair, good at space ninjutsu, extremely powerful... He can't be Namikaze Minato, right?"

"Close."

"Could it be... Uzumaki Menma?"

"Closer."

"...Naruto Uzumaki?"

"Yes."

"No, it's impossible, right?" Orochimaru hesitated, somewhat in disbelief.

It's not like she had never seen Uzumaki Naruto before. Judging from his IQ, he didn't look like Namikaze Minato's biological son at all.

On the contrary, Orochimaru was very optimistic about Uzumaki Menma and had even been interested in accepting him as his disciple.

She believed that within ten years, with Uzumaki Menma's talent, he would definitely become the second Namikaze Minato and become famous in the ninja world!

"Recently, Sunagakure Village is about to hold an ascension ceremony..." Uchiha Izumi said.

"I heard about this. It is said that only the selected people can perform the ceremony. After the ceremony is successful, they will gain the power of God and the appearance of the true God." Orochimaru said.

"Yes, we need to make some noise during the ceremony to attract Uzumaki Naruto."

"Are you going to ruin their ceremony?"

"No, the ascension ceremony can only be held once every ten years. This is a rare opportunity! Don't you want the power and appearance of a true god?"

"You will give me such a good thing?" Orochimaru asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Of course, I am the most filial person! This time, the opportunity to become an ascended person is given to the teacher. This is a rare opportunity to gain power quickly. You must seize it, teacher."

"..." Orochimaru was silent for a while and said, "Are you so kind? Is there something wrong with the ceremony?"

"how come?"

Orochimaru remained silent, staring at Uchiha Izumi.

Seeing this, Izumi Uchiha could only explain: "Okay, let me tell you the truth. It's true that you can gain power, but it's just the so-called true god's appearance... it may turn into a kobold or cat head. People, smugglers and so on..."

"However, the change in appearance is just a small problem for the teacher, and the teacher won't care. But for people like me, it is a big deal. I want to always look beautiful!"

If Izumi Uchiha turns into a kobold or cat-headed person, it would be better to kill her.

"Hmph, the so-called flesh body is just a skin. What is there to care about? As my disciple, you can't even look past this."

"Haha, teacher, aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face when you say such things? In the future, you are not someone who doesn't care about your appearance!"

"What? Impossible! I have already devoted all my energy to the great cause of pursuing eternal life and exploring the truth. How can I care about such a thing?"

"People change, and the teacher was in love at that time, so it's quite understandable."

"Ah?" Orochimaru was petrified, "Impossible! Who is it? Who am I in love with?"

"I won't tell you!" Izumi Uchiha sped up and hurried on.

"Damn it! I hate people who talk half-talk!" Orochimaru said angrily.

.........

a year ago.

Since Rasa's death, no one has succeeded the Kazekage, and the elder Chiyo is temporarily in charge of Sunagakure Village.

night.

Gaara sat on the high roof, quietly looking down at the village.

His feelings towards his dead father Luo Sha were quite complicated.

Not far away, Temari and Kankuro were hiding behind the house, looking at Gaara worriedly.

"Chirp—"

A high-pitched hawk chirped.

Gaara looked up and saw a large yellow eagle flying over.

The eagle spread its wings and circled twice in the air before slowly landing in front of him and turning into a human form.

The person who came was wearing a yellow armor, with the head of an eagle, arms with feathers, a huge figure, and a staff in his hand.

"Who are you?" Gaara asked.

"Who is it?" Temari and Kankuro saw this and rushed out.

"My name is Azir. I have no ill intentions in coming here. I just want to talk to you alone, Gaara."

"Okay." Gaara said.

Temari and Kankuro stepped back after hearing this. After all, in their hearts, Gaara was as strong as a monster.They didn't have to worry at all, but they still watched the two of them closely in the dark.

"What would you like to talk with me?"

"Talk about what you want to know most now. I know you are confused now."

"Really? Do you know what I'm thinking now?"

"Of course!"

"I'm in a bad mood right now. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I'll kill you!" Gaara said with cold eyes.

"You will be satisfied."

"Are you the ninja of the village?" Gaara asked.

"No, I come from an unknown small village in the Kingdom of Wind."

"Then you must know my father, right? I want to ask, what kind of person is he in your heart?"

"He's a great guy."

"Humph, your answer makes me very dissatisfied."

The sand around Gaara slowly flowed and wrapped around Azir's body.

"Did other people say the same thing to you? But the same words can have different opinions."

"Give you one last chance."

"I want to ask you, what is Kazekage?"

"I don't know! Are you done?" Gaara was already impatient.

"The so-called Kazekage is someone who can sacrifice everything for the village."

"..." Gaara hesitated for a while, then asked: "Why?"

"Why? Because he loves the village in his heart, and he carries the entire village on his own!"

Azir jumped up and jumped from the sky to the street.

Gaara also jumped down.

"Gaara, there are big and small differences in love. Your father has a small love for you, but a big love for the whole village. Do you think your childhood was unfortunate? But look at both sides of the street, there are people who are more unfortunate than you. Someone is here," Azir said as he and Gaara strolled down the street.

"What do you think of their lives?" Azir asked.

"It's very difficult!" Gaara said after looking at it.

"Yes. But they are alive, aren't they? Without the protection of the village, do you think they can survive in this barren desert?"

"It was your father who gave countless people a chance to live and a better life. He shines on the whole village like the sun!"

"Sunagakure Village is located in the desert, and water and food are scarce all year round. It was not until your father became the Kazekage and began to use his blood to pan for gold that the lives of the villagers improved slightly."

"But now, after your father's death, the village has declined again."

"But...why did he send someone to assassinate me?"

Gaara was very worried about this. After all, even his uncle was accidentally killed by him. This was an eternal pain in his heart.

"It's also for the sake of the village. Your father is afraid that the tailed beast in you will go berserk. The tailed beast has the power to destroy a village. Do you know how many people will die once the tailed beast in you goes berserk?"

"Why did he seal the tailed beast in my body? Everyone said that I was a monster and they all avoided me." Gaara asked in despair.

"Because you are his son. He believes that even if no one else can control the tailed beast, you can definitely do it!"

"Your identity is destined to carry more burdens for you, Gaara."

"Why did he do this? Why does he love the village? Just like the name my mother named me, it is enough for people to love themselves." Gaara murmured to himself.

"Your mother never meant this. She just wanted to say: She will always love you."

"Moreover, it is precisely because your father has a noble consciousness and devoted his life to the village that he is respected and worshiped by the villagers!"

"If you are even remotely proud of him, follow in his footsteps and strive to become the next Kazekage!"

Azir took out the Kazekage hat and put it on Gaara's head.

Gaara took off his hat and looked at it blankly, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

"Father......"

"I am not worthy to wear it now, but I have understood your words and my father. It is Shadow's responsibility to sacrifice for the village. I will inherit his will and lead the village to a better future!"

"Okay, I did not misjudge you. Your thoughts have been sublimated! In this case, I will tell you my purpose of coming to you this time. I believe you will agree now!"

"Please say!"

"What do you think is the most important thing in this desert?"

"water!"

"That's right. Here, water is more precious than gold. And now, I have a way to make this desert have an endless supply of water. From then on, the entire Sand Hidden Village, no, the entire Kingdom of Wind will no longer Lack of water!”

"Oh? How is this possible? What can I do?"

"Forge the Sun Disk!"

"What is a solar disk?"

"It is a building with divine power. After it is completed, there will be a steady stream of water flowing out. And not only that, it also has a more important role. It can hold ascension ceremonies."

"Ascension ceremony?"

"That's right, a ritual that allows people to gain divine power. Generally, only heroes who have made great contributions to the village can be recognized and hold the ceremony."

"Okay, of course I agree, but..."

Gaara was worried that the village higher-ups would not agree.

"Don't worry, I will help you."

Azir showed a kind smile.
