Naruto: Immortal Spirit

"What a powerful kid, he almost died..."

"It seems there are no jonins from the Aburame clan..."

The Kumo ninja Jonin, who was clearly dead, seemed to have escaped the final fatal blow. Although he was still miserable, his whole body was intact, and he looked at Kakashi with a ferocious look on his face.

His eyes were red, filled with cruelty and bloodthirsty, making Kakashi's whole body freeze instantly.

"Have you escaped..."

"what a shame……"

Looking at the Kumo ninja staggering towards him, Kakashi struggled, but his body seemed not to obey his command. It was twitching, but he couldn't stand up.

"Don't waste your efforts, kid. The Thunder Dragon is not that easy to resist. The foreign chakra lightning that invades the body will paralyze your whole body. You who practice the Thunder Escape Ninjutsu should know this..."

"Obviously die!"

"Is this it... okay, just die like this..."

Knowing that his body was overwhelmed, Kakashi stopped struggling. For some reason, his eyes became calmer at this moment. Looking at the cloud ninja walking towards him step by step, his eyes seemed to go beyond his. The body floated to an unknown distance.

The pace of the cloud ninja was very slow. He had already exhausted the last chakra in his body. The withered branches creaked under his feet. The gloomy clouds in the sky completely shrouded his back. He slowly raised the The sharp blade of the kunai reflected the cold light, shining in Kakashi's eyes.

An indescribable pleasure of imminent relief mixed with a bit of fear made Kakashi's brain begin to become congested with blood, and his eyes were fixed on the kunai that was about to penetrate his body and end his life.

"go to hell!"

The Kumo ninja's vigorous blow mobilized the strength of his entire body, and the kunai's blade went straight towards Kakashi's throat.

The air in the entire jungle seemed to have suddenly stagnated, and the clouds in the sky and the water on the ground were completely still. They were completely focused to witness the imminent passing of this living life.

But, they were disappointed...

A spiritual light came at an extremely fast speed. It was so dark that it seemed to absorb all the light. The astonishing speed seemed to have no resistance at all. It did not bring about the slightest sound of wind or any chakra fluctuations.

It seemed like a black stream of light from another space, passing through Yun Nin's head silently, then flew to the horizon and disappeared.

At the last moment, Kakashi couldn't help but close his eyes. His heart was beating violently, but he didn't feel the pain he expected at all.

"I... I didn't die..."

Kakashi opened his eyes and looked at the kunai, which was only one centimeter away from his head. The sharp blade was filled with cold air. He could already faintly sense its coldness, but it stopped there, motionless.

Yun Ren's face was frozen at the last ferocious look, as if his brain had not yet reacted to the death of his body. His eyes were still filled with madness, but he slowly lost his look, like a rag bag that had no reaction and fell to the side.

Kakashi no longer had the energy to care about who saved him. His whole body instantly went limp as if he had let out a breath, and the slightest chance of death made his body tremble slightly.

Under the gloomy sky, he slowly closed his eyes.

"So...am I also afraid of death..."

His consciousness was completely blurred, and his body seemed to be falling continuously. The only light was constantly dissipating, and an increasingly dark depth enveloped his whole body.

"Kakashi! What's wrong with you..."

"Lin! Save Kakashi quickly..."

The last sound that could be heard sounded, and Kakashi's consciousness fell completely into darkness.

"I'm sorry, I probably won't be able to see you for the time being..."

……

The plan of the Kumo ninja to attack the Suna ninja was still being carried out. Jiraiya was sitting on the border of Konoha, and he noticed something was wrong after fighting the Kumo ninja several times.

There were almost no large-scale battles. All the Kumo ninja teams seemed to be playing a hide-and-seek game with Konoha. Their purpose seemed to be to contain only part of Konoha's combat power.

"Minato, Fugaku, we can't continue like this. We must take the initiative and force the Kumo ninja to fight us in a decisive battle! Quickly calm down the Kumo ninja battlefield..."

The camp hidden in the jungle is not that big. There are five similar camps arranged in this forest. Each camp has a member of the mountain family as a contact center. The orders of the entire battlefield can be synchronized to every command in an instant. center.

In the camp, in a tent that looked no different from other tents, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Fugaku fell into silence as they watched the information that was constantly being transmitted from the front line.

Jiraiya frowned deeply. The more wars he participated in, the less he liked wars.

"Lord Jiraiya! The Uchiha clan has been spread throughout the jungle according to the original plan. Numerous traps have been secretly deployed in the three highlands of Mount Suiping, Mount Takama, and Mount Asano..."

"As long as we divide and surround the Yun Ninja team, continuously close the Yun Ninja's activity area, and clean up the surrounding Yun Ninja team, we can severely weaken the Yun Ninja's effective strength..."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Namikaze Minato and then at Jiraiya. He knew that the higher-ups in Konoha had been squeezing out the Uchiha clan, but the two people in front of him had some affinity for the Uchiha clan.

Using 'Lady Diplomacy' to get in touch with Namikaze Minato, the new 'Konoha dignitary', Uchiha Fugaku understood that only by supporting Jiraiya and helping Jiraiya become the Hokage, could the Uchiha clan be in power. Change slowly in peace.

Although he also made moves to run for Hokage, he already knew in his heart that these were just slogans to appease the tribe, and he had no chance...

"Jiraiya-sensei, I think I should be able to do this..."

It was Minato Namikaze's first time as a command-level ninja, but he learned quickly, and Jiraiya was very satisfied with Minato as his apprentice.

Looking at Minato's humble and docile appearance, Jiraiya suddenly had a bold idea in his heart - maybe Minato is more suitable to be Hokage than him...

Jiraiya had never thought about competing with Orochimaru for the position of Hokage.He also never wanted to become Hokage.

But he could vaguely see that teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't seem to want to pass the throne to Orochimaru, but was eyeing him.

During this period of time, he had been thinking hard about how to handle this matter properly, but now he suddenly became enlightened and looked at Minato with increasingly kinder eyes.

"This guy Orochimaru pretends not to care about anything all day long, but he is actually very petty. If Minato becomes Hokage, he will be considered your junior. I see you have the nerve to vent your anger on him..."

The more Jiraiya thought about it, the more he felt that he was a genius for being able to come up with such a good solution.

"Teacher Jiraiya?"

"Huh? Oh... Minato, what did you just say?"

Looking at Jiraiya, whose face turned solemn for a while and then laughed for a while, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but smile softly. Uchiha Fugaku stood quietly aside, as if he was blind and deaf who couldn't see or hear anything. people.

"Jiraiya-sensei... the spiral flash blast, sky-splitting super Bakugan, succeeded..."

"Has the development finally been successful... the Rasengan..."

Hearing Minato's voice, Jiraiya's eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew that Minato had always lacked a lethal Muji Ninjutsu that suited his fighting style, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, the Ninjutsu that had been developed for three years would be such a surprise success.

"Jiraiya-sensei, it's the Spiral Flash Blaster Sky-Splitting Super Bakugan..."

"Minato, you are really a genius in developing ninjutsu. Let me see what the Rasengan really looks like..."

"Jiraiya-sensei, it's..."

"Spiral pills!"

Jiraiya looked at Minato and sighed secretly in his heart: It seems that geniuses also have flaws.

"Uh... well..."

"Rasengan, I always feel like I missed something..."

Minato touched his head, but a small spiral ball emitting azure light slowly appeared on one of his hands. The violent and tight chakra was bound in a small ball.

Uchiha Fugaku stood aside, looking at Namikaze Minato with a little surprise, as if he had gotten to know him again.

The violent aura contained in this blue chakra ball even surpasses most high-level ninjutsu.

But these are not the reasons why Uchiha Fugaku is surprised. The Uchiha family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has countless commendable ninjutsu.

But there is not a single ninjutsu that does not require sealing!

"With the Flying Thunder God's Technique, I think I should be able to divide the battlefield of the Cloud Ninjas..."

Namikaze Minato had his trademark gentle smile on his face, but looking into Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, he realized for the first time that there was extraordinary talent and beauty underneath this gentle smile.

For the first time in his mind, Namikaze Minato was elevated from a disciple of Jiraiya, a promising newcomer of the Third Generation, and a certain elite Jonin of Konoha to the same level as the Sannin.

"Minato, you are worthy of being my disciple! Hahaha!"

"Then act according to the plan and quickly end the Kumo Ninja battlefield!"

Jiraiya patted Minato on the shoulder, suddenly filled with pride, sweeping away all the gloom of the past few days.

"Yes!"

Uchiha Fugaku who walked out of the tent was still meditating. He had already heard about the flying thunder god technique of the second generation. With such Muji ninjutsu, he could imagine that even the three magatama elite jounin of the Uchiha family would probably It's hard to be the one-in-one general of Namikaze Minato.

Uchiha Fugaku walked slowly through the night alone, looking at the stars in the sky, he gently touched his eyes and sighed slightly.

The bright moonlight decorates the earth through the autumn night sky.The dense stars are just small sparks in the dark night, even if they shine with bright red blood...

On the other side of the camp, among dozens of tents shrouded in night, Kato O was sitting quietly in the tent.

There was no expression on his face, and he was completely immersed in the spiritual world, as if it were another world, infinitely broad.

Kakashi was seriously injured, and the Minato team temporarily lost its captain. Obito and Rin went to visit Kakashi who was seriously injured and unconscious, leaving him alone in the tent sitting quietly, waiting for the next mission.

The blue brilliance of the stars spreads in the completely dark spiritual world, just like scattered night pearls falling on the black satin, forming a black brocade with starry blue light.

It's like a dark river of smoke, flowing slowly around the spirit holding the sword, peeling away the mist one by one.

Cloud-like and mist-like soul energy precipitated from the long river and was continuously injected into the spirit body standing in the center of the spiritual world. The entire spirit body began to emit a faint blue fluorescence.

The souls swallowed by the Soul-Destroying Blade will be decomposed into pure soul energy here to enrich the spirit body more than a hundred meters high.

After absorbing some spiritual energy, the dark soul-killing blade seemed to solidify a little. Kato Oo slowly exited the spiritual space, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes.

"The Soul-Destroying Blade..."

He turned his hand, and a ball of pitch-black brilliance, somewhat illusory, slowly emerged in the real world. Although there was only a ray of light as thin as a hair condensed in it, it actually appeared in the real world. .

"More advanced sealing techniques are still needed. This is already the limit..."

The sealing technique Orochimaru once gave him was only the most basic foundation. Being able to barely make the soul-destroying blade composed entirely of soul energy appear in reality was already the limit.

"Chakra is synthesized and extracted from spiritual energy, that is, soul energy, and physical energy. If spiritual energy can be manifested in a single way, can physical energy also be used?"

Kato Ou didn't know what to do, but he knew that a person should have some ideas.

He slowly walked out of the tent and looked in the direction of Konoha.

The mountain forest at night is so quiet and peaceful. The misty mist rises from the mountain gorge and begins to cover the valley. Light and shadow mix together in the jungle.

"Teacher Orochimaru..."

"Will your immortality technique succeed?"

After standing silently for a long time, Kato Oo's eyes moved slightly.

A special soul wave suddenly appeared in the perception, and a pair of blood-colored eyes flashed through the forest. The Uchiha clan who was watching the night just glanced at it quietly, confirmed the identity of Kato Ou and the Konoha ninja, and then quickly disappeared. own body shape.

"It's the Sharingan that Obito has longed for..."

Kato Ou looked at the fleeting red light, and an idea flashed in his mind, as if he understood something.

"There seems to be something extraordinary, not just a blood stain..."

"This is the perfect combination of spiritual energy and human organs..."

……

When he woke up the next day, Kato Ou could clearly feel the tense atmosphere in the camp, and there seemed to be some major changes.

However, Kakashi's absence did not seem to have much impact. Kato O, Obito, and Lin began to perform tasks with Minato again.

However, the first time Namikaze Minato took action in front of Kato Ou, he instantly understood Danzo's far-sightedness. Perhaps the person in Konoha who knew Sarutobi Hiruzen best was this root leader hidden in the darkness of Konoha.

The autumn wind carried the withered leaves and gently fell in the woods. The trajectories were different, but they seemed to have the same fate. Kumo Ninja's life also ended abruptly like falling leaves.

The wind rustled gently, and the golden hair fluttered gently.

Namikaze Minato was standing on the big rock, with corpses of Kumo ninja lying under him. Whether they were genin, chunin, or even jounin, the first time they saw him, they seemed to have been sentenced to death.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Minato, who had always been gentle and handsome, frowned deeply and stared at the stunned Kumo ninja who was the only remaining one, silent and speechless.

"This... this is impossible... how could there be such a person, how could there be such a ninjutsu..."

The trembling genin were only teenagers, about the same size as Kato Ou and others, and they were the only ones still alive on the entire battlefield.

Emitting from the corpses on the ground was an oppressive breath of death that made them unable to breathe. The young Cloud ninja who stood at the front slowly dropped the kunai in his hand to the ground, but the crisp sound seemed to completely penetrate It broke his inner defense line.

Using a small team to penetrate into a camp of the Cloud Ninjas and slaughter them all was something that no one in the ninja world would believe before today.

"Just a moment...a moment..."

He stared blankly at the figure of the big stone, mumbling, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't. In the end, only two words came out slowly from his mouth.

"Gold... glitter..."

It appeared like a flash of light, like the scythe of death, harvesting the lives of mortals wantonly.

"You... let's go..."

Minato sighed softly. His chakra had also been consumed a lot. These genin could not play much role in this war. He could not yet kill these genin who were frightened...

Kato Oo's thoughts were still recalling the moment when Minato took action. It was the first time he truly saw the legendary Flying Thunder God Technique. Even his soul perception could not clearly perceive Minato's instant disappearance.

The moment the light blue chakra ball appeared, it was the shattered body of a Kumo ninja, as if the wind had cut through the ears of wheat, an unrivaled force.

"If it were me... I would die too..."

Kato Oo clenched his hands and looked at Minato's tired face, once again understanding his own weakness. Compared with these extraordinary ninjas, he seemed like a child.

"Minato-sensei...your Rasengan finally succeeded!"

"It's the spiral flash blast, sky-splitting super blast pill..."

"It's amazing, Minato-sensei, the Rasengan is so strong!"

Obito and Lin also slowly recovered from the shock. The corpses on the ground shocked them no less than the genin of the Kumo ninja.

Although they were still smiling, Kato Ou inexplicably felt a touch of fear in Obito and Lin's emotions...
