Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Chapter 44 The will-o’-the-wisp on Hokage Rock

At the beginning of the night, looking down from the sky above Konoha, it seems that it is already quiet and peaceful.Kato Ou stood on the hill of Hokage Rock, letting the cool wind slowly blow on his cheek.

Kato Oo silently took off the hood on his head, folded the cloak neatly and put it aside. Sitting on the edge of the cliff, Kato O looked at the scene of thousands of lights, with a complicated look in his eyes.

A blue fluorescence gradually filled his eyes, like two blue will-o'-the-wisps in the dark night.

The barrier hidden in the space is like a huge net, completely covering all the uneasiness and silence, mixed with joy and blessings, and gradually blending into a complete silence that is neither sad nor happy.

Every plant and tree seems to be no longer as realistic as in the daytime. They all have a vague and illusory color, and each seems to have its own secrets hidden in the details.

The clear light of the silvery white moon shone on his body. Kato Ou, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, sighed softly. With a little effort on his feet, he jumped off the cliff. The black cloak he put on again in an instant whirred in the air.

Kato O's hair was flying, revealing a slightly youthful face, which seemed to have been hidden under the hood for a long time. What appeared in the moonlight was extraordinarily fair skin.

He was like a phantom, drifting and landing in a dark alley.

The entire alleyway was dim, and only vague figures could be seen through the faint light in the distance. Kato Oo's eyes fell on a slightly unfamiliar building. It was not too far away, but it made him unable to move. pace.

On the floor-to-ceiling window sill, you could vaguely see a red-haired woman and a blond-haired man busy. Kushina, who was baring her teeth and claws, was yelling something at Minato, but Namikaze Minato just touched his hair and looked at it with a smile. she.

Obito, who had a bruised nose and face, also paid the price for his prank. He sat on the dining table, propped his head, pouting and looking at Kakashi with dead fish eyes.

Lin, who was wearing casual clothes and a bunny ears headdress, was filled with the youthful vitality of a girl. She just smiled and sat on the sofa, looking at Obito and Kakashi from a distance.

I don't know why, but I frowned slightly, and turned my head to look outside the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"Minato! Hurry, hurry! My tempura is going to be burnt soon!"

"Oops! I forgot to make sushi!"

Kushina, who was in a hurry, kept rushing back and forth between the kitchen and the living room, looking a little in a hurry.

"Hey, why hasn't Xu come yet? Isn't it because I scared him today?"

Kushina looked at the messy kitchen and couldn't help but pat her head. She sat in the living room angrily, leaving Minato alone wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.

Rubbing Lin's rabbit ears, Kushina vented her depression. She had decided not to cook by herself again.

"Well...it's indeed possible..."

Obito, who had a big tongue and seemed a little awkward when speaking, nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his head, and a big bump swelled up.

"Obito...what did you say?"

Kushina stood behind Obito with her fists raised, her bright red hair seemed to be flying in the wind, and the sound of her teeth gritted caused Obito to quickly cover his head and bury his face on the table, speaking so fast that he was talking about morning. If you already know it by heart.

"Master's wife, Master's wife is amazing, smart, virtuous and handsome. She is the most reliable in Konoha Village. Obito will never forget her..."

After finishing reciting his lines, Obito glanced at Kushina behind him secretly, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her covering her mouth and snickering.

"Hahaha……"

Lin looked at Obito and wanted to say something, but she laughed and couldn't say anything. The trace of sadness between her eyebrows seemed to be gradually melted away by the funny Obito.

"idiot……"

Kakashi's cold voice came, and although there was still a slight pain behind him, the corners of his mouth wrapped under the mask could not help but raise slightly.Obito looked at Kakashi, chuckled disdainfully, and looked at him provocatively again.

Kushina put a hand gently on Lin's shoulder to calm down her laughter. In the midst of the fun, she seemed to feel a familiar chakra fluctuation inexplicably, and looked out the window in confusion.

The stars in the sky disappeared, leaving only a crescent moon hanging in the sky, half covered by dark clouds, hazy and dim.

Light and shadow intertwined between the rows of buildings, and there were a few faint fireflies flying around. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew gently and disappeared again. The deserted streets were just silent in the dim moonlight.

"Xu... won't come... will..."

Inexplicably, Kushina seemed to suddenly understand something in her mind. She looked at the scene outside the window and murmured...

……

Without any surprise, when he was on the Hokage Rock, Kato Ou felt that the root ninja with a bit of cold chakra around him was slowly walking in his direction.

Following the root ninja, Kato Oo felt the urge to kill him directly and escape from this place for the first time.

The tightly clenched fist seemed to be frostbitten by the cold breath in the dark jungle, and then he loosened it slightly. Kato Ou pursed his lips, and the base of his tongue seemed to be itchy.

"Wei..., Danzo-sama is waiting for you..."

The root ninja Kato Ou in front of him had never been seen before, but the familiar yet unfamiliar name in his mouth made his surging murderous intention completely dissipate. Hidden in his surging heart was the blood that was completely frozen by the cold.

"I see……"

Staring at Kato Ou with cold eyes through the mask, the root ninja stopped when he reached a jungle, stepped aside, and looked at him with a little vigilance.

Kato Ou quickly formed a seal in his hand, and the special handprint at the root revealed a hidden dark hole in the empty jungle corner. Watching Kato Ou slowly walk in, the root ninja who was wary of him seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, slowly He turned around and prepared to leave.

"You are afraid!"

"Are you afraid of me..."

In the dark jungle, the light and shadow were blurred, and Kato Ou's faint voice seemed to come from all directions, making the root ninja's eyes widen inexplicably, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

"You used illusions on me! Wei! Are you ready to betray the organization?"

The root ninja, who quickly formed seals with his hands and wanted to mobilize chakra to disrupt his own perception and break the illusion, suddenly found that the method he had been using to break the illusion seemed to have no effect.

"I'm asking you! What are you afraid of!"

Kato Oo's voice was like a sonic boom, exploding in his ears, and the huge sword light falling from the sky instantly cut the root ninja trapped in Kato Oo's illusion into two halves from head to toe.

The pain that penetrated deep into the soul made the root ninja scream, like a bereaved beast.

The body was split in half, but there was no trace of blood at all. The split surface was as smooth as a mirror. What the ninja saw at the root was bright red flesh, but the heart was still beating slowly.

Kato Oo penetrated the chest of the root ninja with one hand. The root ninja could even feel the indescribable feeling of his heart being touched. His forehead was covered with dense cold sweat at some point, and his trembling body completely lost the ability to move.

"How could...how could there be such an illusion..."

The two halves of his body seemed to have vision in two directions, and the strange visual confusion made him look a bit sluggish for a moment.

"I'm asking you! What are you afraid of!"

Kato Ou squeezed hard, and the root ninja felt as if his heart was like a bright red tomato being bombarded by thousands of tons of violent hammers. It exploded into bright red mud in an instant, and a mixture of blood and blood poured out from the big hole in his chest. A sticky paste of minced meat.

"just kill me……"

As if he was almost numb in pain, the root ninja's eyes were filled with darkness and viciousness as he stared at Kato Ou.

"I hate people who show off..."

The soul-killing blade gathered in Kato O's hand, as if smelling the scent of prey, greed and desire continued to emanate from it, and the root ninja could not help but feel instinctive fear in his heart, as if he had seen a natural enemy, a helpless feeling. The illusion of resistance.

"do not want!"

The Soul-Destroying Blade slowly approached his body, and the sharp blade made the root ninja's body twitch.

The knife was drawn across, like a rodent chewing, constantly eating away the scratched fragments.

The body that gradually disappeared bit by bit seemed to prolong the torment of death. The psychological defense of the ninja seemed to have been completely broken. His eyes had turned white and he was about to fall into a coma in the spiritual world.

"It's really hard to chew..."

Kato Ou waved his hand gently, and the root ninja's body suddenly returned to this state. Before he could feel the joy of having a body again, the soul-killing blade automatically started the cycle without wind.

"You will die! You will definitely die! The leader will not let you go!"

The screams echoed in the empty illusion, and the repeated pain seemed to torture the soul of the ninja forever.

"I said! I said... please... I will tell you everything I know..."

The blade slowly stopped, and the root ninja breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Kato Oo floating out of the illusion, there was no longer viciousness in his eyes, only endless fear.

"It turns out that even the most powerful ninjas will surrender..."

Kato Oo walked slowly in front of him, but his eyes did not fall on the miserable root ninja. He looked around and murmured as if he was just talking to himself.

But his faint words made the root ninja who was lying on the ground couldn't help but lower his head. If you betray the organization, you will die, but it will definitely not be more painful than this. No matter how strong your will is, you can't stop the endless pain.

At least, it seems that there is no such person who suppresses the pain and emotion at the root...

"You made me feel so happy..."

"In that case, I wish you good luck..."

The Soul-Destroying Blade expanded countless times in an instant, and with just a single stroke, the soul of the root ninja was completely involved in it, disintegrating into pure soul energy.

"In the next life..."
