Naruto: Immortal Spirit

The blue fluorescence illuminated the entire dark world, giving it a somewhat cold feel.

Sitting in it, Kato Oudan felt like he was in an ice field that exterminated life in the abyss. The eternal glacier brought endless silence.

The fluorescent light hanging above the ice sheet is scattered and melting.

The blooming faint light began to spread continuously, slowly turning into pure soul energy, and gradually entered the spiritual body of Kato Ou who was sitting cross-legged.

The soul energy of dozens of cloud ninjas collapsed and turned into a long river of blue energy, completely entering his spiritual body.The spirit body gradually solidified, and the long black sword standing upright in the spiritual space gradually took a complete prototype.

When the last trace of weak fluorescence completely dissipated, Kato Ou suddenly opened his eyes, and blue light surged out from the spirit's eyes.

With a clear shout, the long knife flew up and fell into his hand. The slowly dancing soul-killing blade suddenly set off a storm in the spiritual space. The sharp blade seemed to be cutting the entire space in half.

"not enough……"

The current spirit body is like a towering soul receiving center. The pure soul enters the body of the spirit body, but it cannot completely become its own inherent substance like flesh and blood.

Although the increase in spiritual power brought about by the gradual solidification of the spirit body has made Kato Oo's understanding of illusions continue to deepen.

But as his greatest reliance, the soul energy of the spirit body will be consumed endlessly with repeated use. Even if it can be fought to support fighting, it will eventually be exhausted.

It's a pity that Kato O has not fully understood the mystery of Yin Escape...

The sunset in Konoha seems to have a unique beauty.

The rose-red sky is reflected in the beauty of the jungle, and the golden glow spreads through the jungle in all corners of the bamboo building.

Kato Ou exited the mental space and stood up slowly. The afterglow of the setting sun made him squint his eyes slightly. Far away from the Bamboo Tower was the Hokage Rock on the top of the mountain.

In the dusk, it faced him, shining together.

"The last peaceful afternoon..."

Without any thinking, Kato Ou knew that Danzo would definitely summon him tonight.

Namikaze Minato's fame not only brought about an improvement in his personal status, but also increased the momentum of Jiraiya's faction.

Even though the two people at the center of the whirlpool didn't have any special emotions.

But the community of interests surrounding them will never give up such a good opportunity.

Public opinion seems useless but it is also useful. Even though the change of Hokage candidates does not rely on public opinion, it will never completely ignore public opinion.

After walking out of the bamboo house along the path in the forest, the noise gradually started.

Kato Ou didn't want to think about these complicated things anymore, and just walked silently on the streets of Konoha alone.

Through the noise around him, he felt the slight fluctuations of a large barrier that enveloped Konoha Village.

The barrier of Konoha that usually does not appear in the space at all is unusual. Even now, he can only explore it covertly and does not dare to make any unusual movements.

If possible, Kato Oo would rather choose to be on the battlefield than in Konoha Village.

Sighing slightly, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his perception, making him pause lightly and stop to look over.

It was a meatball shop.

"It seems...is it Anko? It's been such a long time..."

With a slight movement in his eyes, Kato Ou didn't know what he thought of, but suddenly turned around and walked into the meatball shop.

The meatball shop is not that big, with only a few old-looking tables and chairs, but it is almost full.

The young boss was busy in the kitchen, with only two little girls acting as waitresses. They looked like ninja apprentices who had not yet graduated.

Kato Ou ignored the little girl's greeting and walked directly in the direction of Anko.

"Kato...little brother?"

Anko was sitting on the outside, facing the door that opened to the side. She looked up and saw Kato Oo walking towards her, with a bit of surprise in her eyes that she didn't dare to confirm.

"Anko...Long time no see..."

Kato O's voice was so soft that the two people with their backs to him couldn't help but turn their heads.

The girl with ash-brown hair has ruby-like eyes, like a clear spring in autumn - dense in the moist mist, but with a bit of hazy unreality.

She looked at Kato Oo in confusion, then turned to look at Anko with a hint of inquiry.

Kato Ou could tell at a glance that this girl must be just like him, either good at illusions or possessing special sensory abilities.

Among the three, her mental fluctuations were the most violent.

The young man sitting next to her looked a bit unruly. He raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes slightly, but did not speak immediately.

"Red, Asuma...this is Kato Ou...my junior brother, also my younger brother, hahaha..."

Anko put her hands on her hips, grinned, and the bunch of meatballs disappeared from her hands, leaving only a wooden skewer.

"Hongdou is my junior sister..."

With no intention of continuing to talk to them, Kato Ou just glanced at the young man who smelled faintly of tobacco, and turned around expressionlessly.

This is the second person he has met who is protected by ANBU...

"Hongdou, I have something to ask you..."

Kato Ou stretched out his hand and slowly adjusted his hood. The other ninjas around him should have recognized him, and the hidden special looks made him a little uncomfortable.

Minato and Jiraiya's joint recommendation also gave him some small fame.

"Hey! You're so cold...you forgot who brought you food every day, so you didn't starve to death!"

Anko shouted loudly. Seeing that Kato Oo didn't respond at all, she sat down with a hum and stuffed a bunch of meatballs into her mouth.

"Red, Asuma, wait for me for a moment..."

Seeing Kato Oo's figure about to leave the meatball shop, she stood up again and chased after him reluctantly.

"Asma, do you know him?"

Although Hong also likes eating meatballs, she doesn't almost eat them like rice like Anko. She gently puts the untouched meatballs in front of her into Anko's bowl.

"I think I heard the old man mention it once..."

Asuma glanced thoughtfully in the direction Kato Ou left. Although his relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen was not very harmonious, he was still the son of the Hokage and had much better information than others.

"Asma! How many times have I told you not to call your father "that old man"? It's too rude..."

Kurenai didn't quite understand why the relationship between Asuma and the Third Hokage had become so bad, and Asuma almost never mentioned his father in front of them.

"Oh, I see……"

There was a slight silence, and Asuma didn't say much, and responded in a muffled voice. Kurenai seemed to be very dissatisfied with such silent and cold treatment, and snorted heavily, stopped talking, and stabbed the person in front of her fiercely. Meatballs, turning it into a mess.

"It seems that he is now a teammate of Obito and Rin. After Kakashi was promoted to Jonin, he probably wanted to join the ANBU.

If it weren't for the war, Kakashi would have separated from Minato Jōnin's team..."

Faintly aware that Kurenai's mood seemed a bit unhappy, Asuma had no choice but to give up responding with silence and took the initiative to speak to break the inexplicable atmosphere between the two.

Hong was always so inexplicably angry, leaving him confused.
