Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Peace makes every person in the ninja world seem to be enjoying this hard-won peace as much as possible.

Nonoyu's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past year or so. She is far away from her roots and no longer has the threat of death. It seems that she has found a new life, a peaceful life that she longs for from the bottom of her heart.

"Kabuto..., come on, let's try today's new dish..."

The Country of Grass, the center of the Grass Ninja Village, the new landmark of the reconstructed Grass Ninja Village, is the courtyard where the leader Zabuza Momochi is located.

During this year, not many Kusanagi also fully realized the current organizational structure of Kusanagi Village, as well as the fact that the Kirigakure rebel named Mochi Zabuza became the new leader.

But only a very few people probably understand that there is someone else who is the real leader, but no one knows his specific identity.

"Okay, my lord..."

Kabuto is an orphan who lost his family after the Sand Ninja battlefield. Under the leadership of the new leader, the ninjas of the Land of Grass accepted orphans who were displaced due to the war, and Kabuto was one of them.

It's just that not many of these orphans have ninja talents, but Kabuto is the most talented among them.

"Little Xianglan fell asleep, so cute..."

Kabuto's main job now is to take care of Kabuto. Uzumaki Kana's body was already dilapidated, and she passed away not long after giving birth to Kabuto. Fortunately, Kabuto is very sensible. Although he is not old, he still cares about the little one. Very well looked after.

Kabuto, who is about one year old, probably has the strong physique of the Uzumaki clan. When other children of the same age are still toddlers, he can already follow Kabuto around the yard and run around.

"Go and eat quickly, don't forget to give Xu Jun one..."

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Kabuto teased Karin's face and grinned.

The early morning sunshine slowly filtered through the window with a gentle warmth. Nonoyu, who was lying sideways, was bathing in the sunlight, smiling and caressing Xiang Ling's back. Kabuto sat quietly at the dining table, little While eating his food, he looked up at Nonoyu and the two from time to time.

The silence of the years seemed to have engraved all the beauty in Kabuto's heart at this moment, and his eyes felt a little sore.

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

Kabuto suddenly woke up from his dream with a cry, breaking the tranquility. Kabuto also came to his senses and swallowed the last food.

After cleaning the table, he picked up the food box and approached the door. He looked back at Noonoyu who was coaxing him, raised a smile and walked out of the door facing the sunshine.

This year's life was like a dream, and Kabuto was deeply immersed in it.

There were not many people in the village along the way. Most of the ninjas, led by Zabuza, were carrying out the mission of 'making Kusanagi Village great again'. Kabuto smiled and said hello to the people who greeted him, and gradually moved away. The center of Kusakunin Village.

Near the north, the slightly remote depths of the jungle can probably be regarded as the 'forbidden land' of the Country of Grass.

Although there is no explicit prohibition, almost no one comes here now. I don’t know when people who come here will lose their way, and then walk back to where they came. Weird rumors gradually arise, which also contributes to this... The nameless 'forbidden land' has become a restricted area for Kusanagi Village.

"Disperse!"

Even though daylight was already high in the sky, there was still thick fog in this jungle, blocking all sight.

Carrying the food box in his pocket, chakra gradually gathered in one hand, and with just a slight drink, the runes in his hands flashed, and the dense fog seemed to become spiritual, and dispersed in a moment, leaving an open and clear path.

"Master Kato..."

Walking into the thick fog, walking farther and farther, a small attic gradually appeared in front of Kabuto. No matter how many times he had been here, he had a novel feeling every time he came here.

"Squeak..."

When no one responded, Kabuto gently pushed open the attic door. The faint smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant stimulated his nasal cavity, but his eyes fell on the man beside him who seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed. With a bit of respect in his eyes, he spoke softly.

"Master Kato, mother asked me to bring food here..."

"Today is a new dish...I..."

"Kabuto, you are very talented. Do you want to learn medical ninjutsu?"

Kato Oo's eyes suddenly opened, with a bit of a smile on his face, and he quietly looked at the young man in front of him. This very talented young man seemed to have a bit of his shadow, just like he was when he was the same age. Just as cautious.

"I..., can I?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Kabuto's eyes, but he seemed a little unsure, and he looked at Kato Ou timidly.

"You are very talented and have strong control over chakra. You are very suitable to become a medical ninja and become my assistant..."

"Didn't you learn the healing skills over the past year..."

He slowly stood up and touched Kabuto's mind. Kabuto seemed to have mustered up the courage, with a firm look in his eyes.

"Master Kato! I am willing! I will work hard!"

"Okay... let's move here tomorrow..."

"what?"

Suddenly hearing Kato Oo's voice, Kabuto's eyes froze and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare. Kato Oo just looked at him with a chuckle and did not speak.

"I..., Kato-sama..., I..., can I still live with my mother..."

"I……"

"Xiang Phosphorus, yes! I still have to take care of Xiang Phosphorus..."

"Haha, that's fine, but I will go out during this period. If you are okay, you can come over and read a book..."

"Kato-sama, do you want to go out?"

In the past year, Kabuto seemed to have never seen Kato Ou come out of this attic, and he seemed a little unresponsive for a moment.

"Well..., you go back first, I will tell you then..."

"Yes……"

After walking out of the attic, Kabuto was still a little dazed, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He ran fast all the way. He wanted to tell Noonoyu, his mother, the good news as soon as possible.

"Is this your new apprentice? It seems like you like taking on apprentices..."

"Maybe it's because I'm getting older. When I see these children, I think of myself..."

On the second floor of the attic, there is a somewhat fragrant and slightly elegant hall. Two cups of hot tea, steam rising up. On the table next to it, there is an orange-red swirl-shaped mask with half of the face of a man distorted. , a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, he gently picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"If I remember correctly, you are only about the same size as me..."

"Yes, but I always feel as if I am already 50 or [-] years old..."

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito didn't say anything else, but looked at Kato Ou with a slightly complicated look in his eyes, this man who had a 'slight' connection with him.

"Boom, boom..."

There was a moment of silence, but suddenly there were several noises from the side, and the door of the attic was suddenly knocked open. A five or six-year-old girl, with black and white face, but flashes of light in her eyes, holding a Holding a string of long scrolls, the scrolls that had been completely unfolded almost wrapped themselves into a ball.

"Uncle Xu, look what I found!"

"Lin, don't be ridiculous..."

"Go and wipe your face clean!"

Obito's eyes were softer than ever before, he looked at the girl's familiar face quietly, and stretched out his hands to hug her.

"What did Lin find this time? Can you show it to me?"

"Um……"

Although Lin had met Obito several times and was a little less afraid of his face, it was still a bit unfamiliar. She just stood there, bit her lip lightly and nodded.

"Uncle Tu..."

Obito's face froze, as if he heard the unbelievable call, and turned his head as if he wanted to kill someone, looking at Kato Oo with a calm face.

"Lin, you have to call me brother, remember?"

"Brother?" Her eyes couldn't help but look at Kato Ou, as if she was confused.

Obito seemed to have thought of something, and his face became increasingly ugly, but he still forced a smile and said to Lin: "That guy, you have to call me brother too!"

"Oh……"

Obito helped Rin untie the scroll on her body and looked at Kato Oo with an unkind expression. Kato Oo ignored him and gently rubbed Rin's head. Rin happily went to play again.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Obito's face was very unkind, and there was a hint of resentment in his tone.

"So, you should ask yourself whether you are a pervert who likes children..."

"you!"

Obito didn't want to say anything more. He had been ridiculed by this guy countless times since he first met Lin. He sighed slightly, with a bit of unwillingness, and repeated the question he had asked countless times. question.

"Lin..., can she really not remember anything? Is there really nothing she can do?"

"Lin's soul suffered great pain at the moment of death. It's okay that it didn't completely collapse. There may be a way to do it in the future, but now, there is nothing I can do..."

"Damn it! It's not all you!!!"

When he thought of the scene at that time, Obito's murderous heart could not help but condense again. His eyes were slightly red and he stared at Kato Oo.

"I told you, I did have this idea at the time. Although the head can indeed better preserve the soul, in fact, it only needs to extract the soul. At the last moment, the person who did it was not me, but It’s Madara Uchiha that you miss so much..."

"Are you right, Madara-sama?"

"If Lin were not still here, I would definitely beat you into a ball of meat!"

"You can do whatever you want, I'll be with you anytime..."

"you!"

There is a high probability that Obito has never been able to outshine Kato Ou in words since he succeeded in Wood Release and Sharingan and vowed to "avenge" Lin.

"I see……"

A haze flashed in Obito's eyes. His experiences in the past few years have not only made him mentally mature a lot, but he has also learned a lot about the secrets of the ninja world. He just didn't think too much about many things and was temporarily blinded by hatred. Mind, if I think about it carefully now, there are too many unreasonable things.

"Madara left behind a pair of reincarnation eyes. In the Land of Rain, although I bear the name of Uchiha Madara, in fact, I cannot completely control many things."

"If Uchiha Madara wants to be resurrected, he will definitely need the help of the Rinnegan. He needs revenge, but he can't do it now. Moreover, not only can he use the power of the tailed beast, we can also..."

"So, you came here today because of Konoha..."

"It seems that you are a little more informed than me..."

Obito glanced at Kato Ou lightly and didn't ask any questions. Ever since he knew some things, he no longer trusted Zetsu. He just had to pretend for the time being, and be conceited.

"Kushina is about to give birth, and the power of the Nine-Tails is easiest to obtain at this time..."

There seemed to be no fluctuation in Kato O's eyes. From the day he defected to Konoha, he had completely severed ties with Namikaze Minato.

"Those were your former master and junior wife, my former senior brother and senior sister..."

"Hmph, I'll add more money..."

"From now on, every time I get a tailed beast, I will need some chakra..." With a chuckle, Kato Ou turned his head slightly and looked at Uchiha Obito.

"what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Obito frowned slightly, with a bit of caution in his eyes. After knowing about the Samsara Eye and the Heretic Golem, in his eyes, the tailed beast was no longer the monster it used to be, but there was a bigger hidden hidden behind it. Deep secrets, some things he told Kato Oo, some things he still reserved...

"I have my own uses..."

Kato Oo's year was not wasted. Through the Eight-Tails' chakra, he has made some discoveries, a big discovery that has a high probability of revealing the secrets of the tailed beasts.

"make a deal……"

There seemed to be no sound in the attic, and only two people were left quietly sipping tea. This small building was not very big, but after nearly a year of continuous decoration, the surrounding area was already filled with his Sensory Soul Fire Insects, and there were also large-scale illusions. The barrier is integrated into the Kirigakure no Jutsu, and no one can sneak in without being discovered by him - not even White Zetsu.

Time always flies. Even if Obito is reluctant to leave, he still has to leave here. There are still many things that need to be done...

The wind in the forest was a bit cold. Under the attic, Obito was walking backwards with his back on his back, his steps slow and unhurried. Lin stood beside Kato Ou, waving her hand to say goodbye to Obito.

This is the second person she has come into contact with besides Kato Oo. Although she often sees a child with white hair, she has never been in contact with him.

Seeing that they were about to enter the thick fog, Uchiha Obito finally turned around reluctantly. He knew that Lin could not follow him now.

Gently picking up the mask from his arms and covering his face, his eyes became more and more fierce. He could subvert the world for Lin, but he could also defeat all the enemies in front of him to protect Lin.

It was so cold in the forest, and Obito's shadowy figure gradually disappeared from Lin's sight. For some reason, Lin still didn't come back to her senses. She didn't know when she lowered her waving hand, but she just stared blankly. Looking in the direction Obito left, his face seemed to be complicated for his age. Tears kept flowing, and he squatted on the ground, hiding his face and crying.

"Lin..., is this really good?"

"Xu, don't tell him..., okay..."

"I see……"
