Naruto: Immortal Spirit

In the center of the Gui Deng clan, in the brightly lit meeting hall, Gui Deng Mingyue was covered in mud, but she sat in the middle of the hall.

All the patrolling guards were arranged outside the hall by him. He scanned them one by one with vigilance. He did not say anything in his silent eyes, but it still made the guarding tribesmen feel chilled in their hearts.

"Big brother?"

"When did it happen?"

Gui Deng Qingyue and Gui Deng Youyue came in a hurry and were shocked to see Gui Deng Mingyue's embarrassed appearance.

"Sit first..."

Looking at the two of them with slightly squinted eyes, Gui Deng Mingyue seemed to be relieved. No one knew his two brothers better than him. After decades of facing each other day and night, not just one face could cover up all the details of the past. .

"It's just an assassination, no need to make a fuss..."

"At this time, it is not a shocking thing for something like this to happen..."

The two elders wanted to say something more, but Gui Deng Mingyue raised his hand and pressed it gently, and the two fell silent, waiting for Gui Deng Mingyue to speak.

"It's Konoha, Orochimaru!"

Thinking that the little grandson he loved most was probably in danger at this moment, the grief in Gui Deng Mingyue's heart seemed to slowly emerge.

The pain and hatred in his eyes seemed to touch his wounds, making him groan in pain.

"Can you kill the guards, hurt the elder brother without alerting others, sneak into Kirigakure secretly without anyone knowing, Leng Jun Orochimaru..."

"Well-deserved..."

Ghost Deng Youyue frowned and thought, seeming to have thought of something, but did not speak for a long time.

Green light glowed in the palm of Gui Deng Qingyue, and he was treating the deepest wound on Gui Deng Mingyue's side. He smelled blood as soon as he entered the door, and he already guessed that Gui Deng Mingyue was injured.

"There is a problem within the clan..."

Gui Deng Youyue spoke, causing the silent Gui Deng Mingyue to open her eyes instantly. He knew it was the reason without telling the details, but he still couldn't tell who had been 'transformed'.

"Why?"

Gui Deng Qingyue looked at his two brothers and frowned. He had always trusted them, but this kind of thing rarely happened to the Gui Deng clan.

"This matter should not be made public in advance. All clan members will be summoned to open a clan meeting tomorrow morning, and everything will be clear at a glance."

Gui Deng Mingyue spoke without explaining anything, but Gui Deng Youyue spoke again.

"There's just something I can't figure out..."

"His purpose... is just to assassinate my eldest brother. I'm afraid it won't be that simple..."

"What would happen if he succeeded today?"

Gui Deng Youyue's words also seemed to remind Gui Deng Mingyue. The anger in his eyes gradually faded away, and he began to think carefully about the causes and consequences of the matter.

"His purpose is probably to cause chaos in Kirigakure's rear. Now that he has arrived at Kirigakure, he may have already understood the movement of the village's troops."

"This man is not a reckless person. If he wants to kill me today, I will definitely not be able to survive."

The voice paused, and he shook his head slightly towards the two younger brothers.

"You don't have to look at me like this. My family knows my own affairs. I am old and frail. I am no longer a match for such famous ninjas, but now I have survived."

"The only possibility is that Orochimaru has left Kirigakure after learning about the village's movements. These people are just his back-up men, just to stir up unrest behind Kirigakure..."

"So..., Konoha on the front line..."

Such clear words made the two of them nod slightly. Gui Deng Youyue nodded slightly, with a flash of light in his eyes. He continued to think along Gui Deng Mingyue's train of thought, and spoke slowly, as if he was also thinking about Gui Deng Qingyue's explanation. .

"It's just a paper tiger..."

"If Konoha's front line is really strong, he will never act in such a hurry..."

"Immediately inform the other two major families and the fourth generation of what happened today secretly, so that they can be on guard against spies in the village who will take the opportunity to spread rumors and create chaos.

At the same time, the descendants of the clan will be strictly investigated, but they must not be made public. If it reaches the ears of the clansmen on the front line, the village will definitely be worried.

If Konoha is allowed to take a breath because of this, it will be a missed opportunity of a lifetime..."

As if everything had been smoothed out, Gui Deng Mingyue's eyes burst out with dazzling light, and all the fatigue and pain in his body seemed to be swept away. His eyes looked out the window at the gloomy night, and his calm voice made the two elders also squint. Eyes opened.

"Konoha... has been strong for too long..."

"If I don't take the opportunity to overthrow them, when will it be my turn to be Kirigakure and the Oniden clan?"

"The fastest road to the top will always be born in the chaos of blood and fire!"

Having made up his mind, Gui Deng Mingyue immediately prepared for action, wrote quickly, and handed over two secret messages to the two elders.

"You go ahead, don't worry about me..."

"I'm afraid Konoha's frontline is too busy to take care of itself now. This method can only be used once. Once the village is on guard, this kind of sneaky trick will no longer work. Orochimaru will not be so stupid..."

"It would be nice to send more tribesmen to patrol at night..."

The two frowning elders pondered for a while, nodded slightly, took the secret message in their hands, and hurried away in the dark.

Only Gui Deng Mingyue was left, sitting quietly in the empty meeting hall, eyes slightly closed, still thinking about something.

The moonlight cast a faint silver glow, penetrating through the dense treetops and pouring onto the ground. Where the night wind blew, the branches danced gently, and a red fruit suddenly fell to the ground.

A pair of solid leather hard boots appeared outside the camp of the Ghost Lantern Clan. In the quiet shadow corner that no one noticed, the soles of the shoes were lightly stepped on, and the bright fruits splashed around like red juice like blood.

His eyes flashed with a blue light, but with a playful look on his face, he looked at the still brightly lit meeting hall of the Ghost Lantern Clan.

"Hey... Mr. Orochimaru, I'm going to cause you trouble again..."

……

The night was deep, and the courtyard far away from the center of Kirigakure was so quiet that there was no sound. Akihabara sat cross-legged on the steps at the door, silently, and slowly lit a cigarette. The thick mist was mixed with the smoke. , dissipated in the dark night sky.

He was probably enjoying this rare time, but he still frowned from time to time and looked outside the hospital, as if waiting for something.

Before a cigarette was burned out, a figure slowly appeared in the darkness. Akihabara sniffed slightly, and the smell of blood flowed into his nose, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"It's pretty fast..."

"How long do you think it will take me to kill an old man who is old and frail, has declined to the level of a chuunin, has consumed too much chakra, and can no longer even release ninjutsu?"

It seemed that he was in a good mood and Kato O spoke a little more. Akihabara smiled and slowly put away the long knife behind him.

"Things have been packed... let's go..."

"Where?"

"I have a safe house in the north. The things in it are enough for us to stay for at least a month..."

Looking at Akihabara's solemn eyes, Kato Oo's lips slightly raised a smile.

"I'm right here, not going anywhere..."

"why?"

Kato Ou didn't speak anymore, just smiled and said nothing, and then slowly spoke out after a while.

"listen……"

In the night sky, there was only a quiet wind, carrying a little moist water vapor, which dimmed the stars in the sky. Akihabara looked at Kato Ou with his eyes closed and relaxed, and frowned, because he heard nothing.

"That's the sound of snakes hunting in autumn..."

Kato Ou chuckled twice and disappeared into the attic on the second floor. Only Akihabara was left, his brows furrowed and his eyes looking like he was looking through mist, trying to see clearly what happened tonight.

For a long time, there was no sound in the small courtyard shrouded by stars and moon. In the late autumn weather, the withered yellow leaves struggled stubbornly, but they could no longer bear the thick water vapor. The cold wind blew by and scattered all over the ground.

But at this moment, a group of green plants that went against nature slowly "floated" out from the dead branches. The green plant slowly opened its mouth, and a pair of bright eyes reflected the starlight, staring at the still distant place. The dimly lit attic.

"Hey, it looks like I discovered a great secret..."

"Madara-sama's vision is as admirable as ever..."

As if thinking of something, the leaves of the pitcher plant seemed to fly, and a strange laughter slowly sounded.

"Hehe, if that's the case, Obito should be very happy..."

The gloomy voice dissipated into the night, and the moment the last glimmer of light in the attic completely dissipated, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Everything is as usual, the sun still rises.
