Naruto: Immortal Spirit

The impact of Kato Ou's defection was far less than that of Orochimaru. As a strong contender for the fourth generation Hokage, even if he failed in the upper-level struggle, many civilians still had doubts about him among the lower-level people who did not need to know so much. Have a good impression.

Compared to Orochimaru, who emerged from World War II and became famous for many years, Namikaze Minato's foundation is still too shallow.

"It's not true!"

"no!"

After walking out of Konoha's interrogation room, Anko would wake up from a huge rupture almost every day. The reality seemed too cruel for her to accept.

The Sandaime didn't have too many difficulties with this girl who could be regarded as his direct disciple just a few days ago. He just temporarily banned her from leaving the Leaf Village. Perhaps even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself understood that Orochimaru's defection seemed to have already happened. There were countless clues, but he had never noticed them.

Not only Anko, Orochimaru's disciple, but also important figures like Kato O's senior sister, Uzuki Yugao, Iruka, and Uchiha Itachi were also interrogated by the interrogation department.

But compared to them, too many people's eyes seemed to be focused on Orochimaru's defection. Even though Kato Ou was slightly earlier than his master Orochimaru, it was still considered that this defection was already planned by the master and apprentice. conspiracy.

There didn't seem to be many eyes paying attention to the three of them. One was the eldest young master of the Uchiha family, one only knew some sword skills and seemed to have learned from another teacher, and the other was a genin who didn't know much about anything.No one looks like a direct descendant of a shadow-level powerhouse...

Konoha Ninja Village officially announced that after being certified by Namikaze Minato and Genbe, and having a record of killing Mizukage, Blue Shura Katoo and his master Cold Lord Orochimaru were both identified as extremely dangerous and Threatening S-class rebel ninjas, both of them have the fighting power of a village shadow.

As soon as Orochimaru's incident came out, Namikaze Minato knew that there was no room for redemption. Moreover, through Danzo's handiwork, the official news was more like having to discard some chess pieces in order to stop Yunyun from talking.

"Elder Danzo..."

Frowning deeply, Namikaze Minato's eyes became more focused. The yellow sand blowing from the west whistled across the front line of the Suna Ninja battlefield. Everything seemed to become gray, and it seemed that his A layer of haze enveloped my heart.

His rise was as fast as his speed. He was not qualified to access some secrets before, but after he was qualified, he was always running around and ran out of time.

Just like Nebu, from a vague impression of 'another Anbu', until now, Nebu is already 'Danzo's minion' in his mind. In the past few years since Kato Oo came under his command, his impression of Nebu has become worse and worse. , he didn’t quite understand why the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen allowed such roots to exist...

"Did Orochimaru-sama leave too?"

"Teacher Jiraiya..."

Taking out the scroll spit out from the mouth of the messenger toad again, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Jiraiya, who was guarding the northern border and frightened the Kumo ninja, when he received the news, kept sending requests to the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen to leave the northern border and pursue Orochimaru's scroll. Naturally, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but I know, it's just that the Sandaime wanted to put the overall situation first and had to refute Jiraiya's requests time and time again.

"Let's end the Sand Ninja war as soon as possible..."

"If we delay it any longer, Konoha will be in chaos first..."

Taking a deep breath, Namikaze Minato stopped thinking about other things and slowly clenched his fists. If he wanted to change Konoha, he must first become Hokage, the Fourth Hokage!

"Orochimaru, did he choose to leave..."

It seems slightly different from Namikaze Minato, who is rewarded with great ambitions, but there is another battlefield commander who is not too far away, Tsunade Hime. Even Orochimaru's departure does not seem to give her any What a mood swing it brings.

Because the idea of ​​leaving Konoha has appeared in her mind countless times, but Konoha is an existence she can't let go of. She can't be as heartless as Orochimaru, who can become a rebellious nin without any scruples and do whatever she wants. Gotta leave Konoha.

The existence of bloodphobia means that even if she is on the battlefield of the Sand Ninja, the only way she can use it is to deal with the poison of the Sand Ninja. She cannot go to the battlefield...

"And that kid..."

Gently waving her hand in front of Shizune's eyes, the girl who looked a little dazed finally came back to her senses. Although she had not met her brother Kato Oo a few times, it didn't hinder her. She still knew that she was there. Having a relative in Konoha is like a spiritual sustenance.

But now, this kind of sustenance has disappeared, and she suddenly became confused as a person without roots, which made her feel a little lost...

"Tsunade-sama...why are they leaving Konoha?"

Tsunade sighed slightly and just touched the girl's dark and soft hair. Shizune is a very good girl and is also very talented in medical ninja, but some things are not so simple to answer for the person involved. What they think.

"Maybe I just don't like it..."

A faint voice echoed in the tent. Tsunade slowly walked towards the window, but the wine bottles swaying under her feet were clinking. Shizune seemed to be shocked by the news, and she forgot to clean the room.

Tsunade seemed unaware, her hands gently placed on the edge of the tent's window, and with just a push, the window sash suddenly opened.

The sun passed through the hall with a little breeze, and the gloomy barracks suddenly lit up, as if the decadence had been swept away. Tsunade's long golden hair was flying in the wind, but she slowly closed her eyes, seeming to be quiet. Quietly feel the beauty of nature.

"Shizune, let's leave Konoha too..."

……

"Do you believe it?"

"I do not believe……"

"I believe……"

Uzuki Yugao, Iruka, and Uchiha Itachi walked quietly on the streets of Konoha. The war continued, and Konoha's economy was completely depressed. There were many people closing shops, and even ordinary vendors were almost gone. Extinct.

The sky was bright and bright, with some fog that had not yet dissipated, and the eyes of the three people were wandering.After staying in the interrogation room for a night, although there was no difficulty for them and not many people even paid attention to them, the physical exhaustion was far less than the inner exhaustion.

Iruka had asked the same question countless times. Compared to the people in the interrogation department, Iruka seemed more like an interrogator, torturing them over and over again.

Compared to Iruka, the two of them naturally know more. In their hearts, Kato Oo may not be regarded as a 'betrayer', but more of a 'forced one'. He is the one who was forced to leave. Ye, although the matter has settled at this time, the aftermath is still lingering. They don't know the attitude of the higher-ups about this kind of thing, so naturally they dare not tell this brainless guy Iruka easily.

Compared with leaving Konoha, an option that was originally unacceptable to them, it was much better than letting their teacher Ou die. Even at this moment, Xiyan still carried the feeling of Kato Ou's strength that night in his heart. Reverence and honor.

"Teacher Xu, how could he leave Konoha? Why did he leave Konoha?"

"Aren't we good friends? We perform tasks together..."

Iruka was very depressed, and his whole person was filled with this feeling of decadence. Although he was not very bright and did not have a high level of ninja talent, he rarely had the empathy to be able to empathize with others. .

Since he learned about some of Kato Oo's experiences, all his grievances and dissatisfactions have disappeared. It's just that he just felt that he began to understand Kato Oo, but he only heard the news of defection.

"Probably you are too stupid. Teacher Xu can't stand you anymore and is angry with you..."

Xiyan chuckled softly, and the voice came slowly. Uchiha Itachi also nodded in time. Xiyan was quite satisfied with Uchiha Itachi's cooperation.

"Xiyan..., you..., you guys..."

The annoyance accumulated overnight seemed to burst out involuntarily when he saw the still playful expressions of his teammates. There was undisguised anger in Iruka's eyes.

"You are too much!"

"Don't you have any feelings for Mr. Ou at all? He left Konoha! He left Konoha and became a traitor! Aren't you sad at all?!"

"Why! You can still laugh!"

Sighing slightly, Xiyan did not answer Iruka's question. What he just said made Iruka stunned.

"Do you think our team will be disbanded?"

"Why?" Iruka asked confused.

"I'm going to a ninja school..."

Uchiha Itachi seems to be quite helpless. Although he has learned a lot in the family, such as kunai throwing, three body techniques, some low-level fire escape, and even opened the Sharingan, but under the influence of Kato Ou's defection , it is not difficult for him to think of Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts, probably thinking that he still needs some baptism of 'will of fire'.

But his words made Xi Yan and Iruka temporarily absent-minded, and they both turned their attention to Itachi Uchiha, with strange looks in their eyes.

"Are you sure it wasn't the 'slaughter' of those children?"

"It's hard for me to imagine how desperate the children of your generation must be..."

There was a pause in his words, as if he hesitated for a moment, and Xi Yan's face showed a bit of reluctance.

"I may learn sword skills from the family ninja for a while..."

Her sword skills had some breakthroughs after receiving some teachings from Akihabara. The ninjas in the family seemed to have contacted a Jonin who was good at sword skills for her. The other party agreed to accept her as a disciple and teach her sword skills, although she also I don’t know much about the process, but what is the operation of agreeing to accept a disciple without even meeting him?But being able to learn sword skills, Xi Yan thought it was okay to go and have a look. Anyway, the three of them were temporarily banned from leaving Konoha.

The farewell seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and the gradually growing crowd seemed to dilute the atmosphere of farewell. The three of them remained silent and said nothing more.Walking on the street, Iruka had a confused look in his eyes. At this moment, he once again felt the huge difference in status.

"So... where am I going?"
