Naruto: Immortal Spirit

It was already dark, and Kato Ou climbed out of bed with his body still a little tired.

He stared at the smiling dolls under the window eaves in a daze. He always felt that they seemed to be a little different. He didn't know if it was an illusion that he had never noticed before.

He stood on the windowsill and took them off.

"Why...I can feel a warm feeling from up here..."

He was now somewhat certain that this was not his imagination, and he seemed to be able to feel a faint sense of warmth from the two sunny dolls hanging on the windowsill.

"It's so warm, as if the whole body is wrapped tightly in a quilt full of the smell of the sun. It's full of happiness from the inside out."

He rubbed the two sunny dolls, feeling the subtle warmth.

A little bit of fluorescence began to slowly emerge from the two sunny dolls, and little by little entered Kato Oo's spiritual platform.

Kato Oo looked at these stars in surprise, as if he were hallucinating. He felt that there were two pairs of big warm hands, hugging him gently, and then slowly dissipated with a smile.

He didn't see anything, but two smiling faces couldn't help but appear in his mind, and in an instant, he understood their identities.

"This is...my parents..."

Kato Oo stood on the windowsill in a daze, feeling a warm and soft love.

Obviously he no longer had any impression of them in his memory, and he had never regarded them as his real parents, but feeling this emotion, he couldn't help but feel a slight soreness in his nose.

"Xu, are you up..."

Kato Haruka's voice interrupted Kato Oo's inexplicable sadness.

When he came back to his senses, he only felt that his energy seemed to be a little better. The fluorescence entering his spiritual platform seemed to enhance his spiritual energy a little bit. If it weren't for his keen perception, he might not have noticed it.

"Uncle Yuan, I..."

"I'm already up... I slept a little late last night..."

Kato Ou, who had just gone out and was about to ask something, was too lucky to speak. He just sat down and ate breakfast in silence.

These days, he has fully understood the family secrets, but he has never seen such a description. He doesn't know whether this is some kind of ability of his or something else, but he just keeps it in his heart for the time being.

Kato Yuya ate in silence, but he would give him a few words from time to time. Kato Oo's thoughts were all on those fluorescent lights, and he would occasionally respond.

"Xu..., don't be afraid, remember what uncle told you..."

Looking at Kato Oo's appearance, Kato Yuan hesitated, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and was about to say something more, but he stopped abruptly, and his eyes gradually became colder.

Kato Ou felt that two chakra breaths suddenly appeared behind him, and a chilling feeling made him stop what he was doing.

"According to the order of Lord Danzo, bring Kato Oo into the root..."

"Kato Oo, come with us..."

"So fast..."

Kato Yuan sat in a wheelchair, a little weak, and naturally muttered to himself.

But his eyes were always on Kato Oo, who was a little overwhelmed, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Uncle..., I'm leaving..."

Kato Ou didn't say anything more, just looked into Kato Yuan's eyes, slowly calmed down, and smiled softly.

Facing your own life, fear and escape will not be of any use. Kato Oo can only face it with a smile like an adult.

"thread……"

Kato Yuan had no words, but Kato Oo was able to read what he meant - survive.

The two masked ninjas were still watching all this coldly. In Kato Oo's perception, their emotions were like a pool of stagnant water. Even if there were waves, they would disappear in a very short time.

What is clearly different from Anbu ninjas is their temperament, which is sharp, gloomy, and deadly and bloody like poisonous snakes.

"Boom..."

While Kato Oo was observing them for a moment, the root ninja wearing an owl mask knocked Kato Oo unconscious with a direct blow.

"Confirmed..."

"Whoosh..."

The two of them disappeared into the bamboo building with Kato Oo, leaving only Kato Haru tightly holding the armrest of the wheelchair, looking at the distant mountain top and sighing for a long time.

The ground plane of Konoha is like a dividing line, and above it are the majestic mountains under the sun, which are honor and disgrace, friendship, struggle, and soft love and flowers and rain.

And beneath this horizon, there is darkness, decay, dampness, pain, and—death.

The base of the root was very large. When he woke up, there was only a one-eyed middle-aged man with arms wrapped in front of him.

Kato Ou doesn't know where he is in Konoha now, he just knows that this place should be underground.

"Wei, you will be called 'Wei' from now on..."

The one-eyed middle-aged man looked down at Kato Ou, with dim firelight dancing around, filling him with a strange atmosphere.

"Remember, Wei!"

The one-eyed middle-aged man's crutch fell to the ground with a thump, and the entire basement seemed to be a little darker.

He was just in a daze, and suddenly felt a pain in his leg, and he fell to the ground. A fierce momentum swept over him, making him breathless.

There were two masked root ninjas on each side of the middle-aged man. They stood quietly on both sides, staring at Kato Oo who was lying on the ground without saying a word.

Kato Oo could feel that their emotions did not fluctuate at all.

"Remember, remember..."

If it were a five-year-old child, he might feel fear, fear, and even have a seed of fear planted in his heart, but Kato Oo only felt a sense of humiliation. He thought of Kato Haruka's words and spoke intermittently.

"Jia San, take him down..."

"Yes, Lord Danzo..."

"Is he Danzo..." There was a certain smell about this middle-aged man named Danzo that made him hate it. It was a dark, decadent smell.

Kato Ou didn't have much time to think. A root ninja named Kozo picked up his clothes and took him out of here.

"Wei, you will live here from now on. You are not allowed to leave the base without Danzo-sama's order."

A small bed with few daily necessities. Only then did Kato Ou have the opportunity to lift up his trouser legs. His calves were already red and swollen.

"Don't believe anyone's word, pretend to be yourself, and survive..."

Kato Oo sat on the small bed, and the somewhat cramped living room made him feel even more depressed.

On the first day, no one paid any attention to him. The hungry Kato Ou banged on the door of the living room, calling for food like a normal child, but there was no response.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that the closed door slowly opened from the outside. Kato Orio turned to the door with a somewhat vigilant eye.

"Wei, enter the physical arts class to study..."

"Come with me……"

"Should Kazuo be my person in charge?" Kato Ou felt a little relieved when he saw Kazuo, whom he had met once before.

"Yes, Master Jia San!"

Kato Ou followed Kousan into the root's Taijutsu class.

A few days later, Kato Oo finally seemed to have a little understanding of the roots.

He could no longer remember what it was like when he first entered the physical training class, but it was only a few days ago.

He only remembered that it was a very high gate. When the gate opened, there were many people, filled with the sound of whipping and screams.

And now he is one of the ones being whipped.

This is a place where tears are not allowed.
