Naruto: Immortal Spirit

"Lin, I'm leaving..."

"Um……"

Except when Obito came, Lin would 'transform' into a five-year-old girl. Most of the time, Lin would sit quietly on the roof of the loft alone, silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Kabuto will come here often these days, and I will bring him to see you..."

"If you don't want to go out, Kabuto will bring you your food in the future..."

She turned her head slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything anymore. The cloning technology she got from Orochimaru was not perfect. If she hadn't gotten some White Zetsu cells, Lin's body would have been soaked in nutrient solution. , they may not live to be three years old, let alone being directly promoted to five years old now.

"Lin, if you have anything to ask, I will tell you anything I can tell you..."

He could see that Lin's heart didn't seem to calm down yet. She didn't even know how to get along with Obito, so she could only pretend to have lost all her memories.

"Xu, I..."

Lin raised her head slightly, as if Kato O's words had moved her a bit, but she still hesitated.

"Lin, Obito has become like this now. You have also been 'killed'. There is a pair of hands controlling us. If we don't resist, then we will die completely..."

"No one wants to die, what do you think..."

Squatting down slightly, five-year-old Lin was too young. Kato Ou looked into Lin's eyes. He knew what it felt like to have experienced life and death, and he also knew the pain.

"Obito and I are going to send Namikaze Minato and Kushina back to the Pure Land, but they are blocking our way..."

"Lin, will you stop me?"

"For the Kyuubi?"

Contrary to Kato Oo's expectation, Lin seemed to be extraordinarily calm, but his eyes were slightly absent-minded. The communication between him and Obito did not avoid Lin. Kato Oo wanted Lin to understand what Obito and he were doing, and how Lin felt about Obito. Speaking of Nilin, if he kept hiding it from her, there might be hidden dangers.

Obito, on the other hand, believed that Lin would regain her memory one day, and had never treated Lin as a child...

"Yes and no, we are too weak now. Even if we capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, we will be endlessly hunted by Konoha..."

"Although it's nothing, it's not necessary..."

"We are going to release the Nine Tails to weaken Konoha..."

"A new Jinchuriki is much easier to deal with than a Jinchuriki who can control the power of tailed beasts..."

"We still need to prepare for a while..."

Lin pursed her lips and looked directly at Kato Xu, with a hint of unbearable struggle and struggle. Her voice murmured and she couldn't help but say: "Xu, many people will die..."

Kato Ou gently touched Lin's head, but the smile on his face did not change.

"Lin, I thought you would object to my and Obito's plan..."

There was a hint of loneliness on Lin's face, but there was a bit of solemnity in her tone, and she looked directly into Kato O's eyes.

"Probably, when I was in Kirigakure, I had already returned my life to Konoha..."

"This life is saved by you and Obito..."

"Right now, I just want to live well and live well in this world with Obito and Xu-kun..."

"Perhaps only by dying once can you truly feel that death is so close to you, can you feel the fragility of life, and can you understand that you are just an ordinary person, not a protagonist who can save the world..."

Kato Oo's eyes were calm and he just looked at Lin with a smile. He understood this feeling deeply.

"It is a good thing to cherish your own life..."

Lin's voice paused for a moment, with a slight hesitation, and her head lowered slightly. Probably, she has always been a kind person: "Xu, that..., there is no necessary situation, I mean there is no threat to you. When it’s safe...can we not massacre civilians?”

"Haha..., Lin, we haven't reached that level yet..."

"If you don't go against us, Obito and I are both very peace-loving people..."

……

Kushina's due date is approaching, and not many people in the entire Konoha village know the news. Although the outside is loose and the inside is tight, and countless hidden spies have been removed one by one, ordinary Konoha residents seem to have little Feng Sheng didn't notice it, and everything seemed no different from the past.

Regarding the protection of his wife Kushina, Namikaze Minato can be said to have made the biggest move since taking office. The people he selected were all the elites of the elite, and three false delivery locations were arranged to be garrisoned by these elite ninjas.

The real place of birth is only known to Kushina and his wife, Lake Biwa, the director of Konoha Hospital, Kakashi's ANBU team, and Hiruzen Sarutobi. These people are all people he feels he can trust...

"Minato, why don't you send a summons to Jiraiya-sensei to ask him to come back..."

"I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy..."

Kushina's belly was high and she was stroking her belly gently, but there was a bit of sadness between her eyebrows.

"Don't worry... everything has been arranged..."

It's not like Namikaze Minato never thought of sending a message to Jiraiya to ask him to come back. Unfortunately, the messages sent to Jiraiya seemed to have fallen into the sea, and not a single bit of news came.

"Okay then... maybe I'm too worried..."

Kushina shook her head and didn't think too much. Ever since she was pregnant, Kyuubi had been restless, so she had to spend some energy to suppress its restlessness, which made her have some mood swings.Leaning on Namikaze Minato's shoulder, he suddenly felt much more at peace.

"Minato, have you decided on the name of the child?"

Surrounding Kushina, Namikaze Minato also felt a rare peace in his heart. It seemed that the troubles in the Hokage Building had completely disappeared. His hands overlapped with Kushina's, feeling the noisy little life in her belly. , a somewhat happy smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Naruto..., let's call him Naruto..."

"Kushina, what do you think?"

"I seem to have heard of this name..."

Kushina turned her head, Namikaze Minato's face rubbed her cheek, and then she said softly: "It's the name of a novel written by Jiraiya-sensei, "The Legend of Perseverance"..."

Kushina frowned, as if she thought of something not very good, and asked with a little hesitation: "Is it Mr. Jiraiya's only normal book?"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato was slightly startled, couldn't help but laugh, and gently touched Kushina's hair.

"Okay then...Naruto, did you hear that, from now on you will be called Naruto..."

Namikaze Minato quietly felt this rare moment of silence, and seemed to recall the contents of Jiraiya's novel in his heart. His eyes drifted through the window sill, not knowing where he had gone...

"Naruto, he is a person who never gives up..."
