Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Beilihu's experimental base is not too big, but all the necessary equipment is available. Kato Ou frowned slightly as he looked at the information flying in the messy laboratory like a disaster scene.

On an experimental table, the experimental subject lying on it seemed to have completely lost its vitality. The distorted face, curled up and convulsing hands and feet seemed to have suffered great pain, but the slightly widened eyes still revealed that it was the treatment he had suffered during his lifetime. The last love in this world.

"You can go out now..."

The brightly lit underground laboratory was not as dim as the root base. Katoo turned his head and looked directly at Beiliuhu, but his eyes were dim and his expression was unclear.

"Who do you think you are? An arrogant brat. It seems like a fool who can't understand the situation..."

Beiruhu chuckled and ignored Kato Oo.

He is not too strong now, and Beiruhu, who has already read some information about Kato Oo, just chooses to slowly get out of the way. The figure that suddenly appears from behind him makes Kato Oo's eyes look a little weird.

"Master Jia San, Elder Danzo never said that this experiment would be so arrogant..."

"I think he will listen to you... lie down on the experimental table obediently, if you don't want to bear the name of betrayal..."

Although Beiruhu turned sideways, as if talking to the root ninja beside him, he was looking at Kato Oo with disdainful eyes, as if he was waiting for some good show to happen.

"madness……"

A faint blue light suddenly appeared in Kato O's eyes, almost condensing into a solid blue light. Madness poured out from the whole body, like an endless glacier. In an instant, Beilihu was surrounded, and the cold chakra belt The biting ice cold made Bei Liuhu unable to move.

"Are you disappointed? A humble and pitiful person trying to rely on his roots..."

"You know nothing about power!"

Hiroyuki, who was waiting for Kazuo to make a move, suddenly turned his head, only to see an incredible scene - Kazuo, who also had a faint blue light in his eyes, showed a teasing smile that was almost exactly the same as Kato O's.

"you……?"

Suddenly, a cold feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, making him tremble all over. Although he had a hint of disdain for Danzo, a mediocre person without a genius name, he had to succumb to the root of it. With strength, even relying on them, he understood what the roots represented.

But now, the young man with lake-blue eyes in front of him seemed to have completely subverted his knowledge. The person facing him day and night was the person sent by Danzo to monitor him, but he had never thought about this person. It seems that Danzo has been betrayed long ago, but the roots are unaware of it...

When was it?How many people are there?

The roots that once seemed to be as solid as an iron wall seemed to have been pierced with thousands of holes at this moment...

The ultimate blackness lurking deeper in the darkness was completely hidden in the body of the young man in front of him. A trembling feeling that touched his soul made his scalp numb. He didn't know what kind of emotion it was, but But his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Is this genius..."

"No matter what the circumstances, I can do extraordinary things...and I am just an ant in their eyes...a humble wretch..."

Bei Liuhu's slightly unspeakable trembling voice betrayed the fragility of his heart.What trapped him was an invisible ninjutsu, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose, so similar to that time...

Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya... those figures seemed to be beyond his reach in his entire life, and now even their disciples have grown to such an extent...

"I have worked hard for so long...I have worked hard for so long...Nothing has changed, nothing has changed..."

"It's so ridiculous... so ridiculous..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A deep sadness emanated from his heart. Looking at Kato Oo, his eyes were slightly absent-minded, and life and death seemed to have no meaning in an instant.

"And my existence...what's the point?"

The difficulty in accepting one's own mediocrity is the greatest sorrow of a mediocre person who is unwilling to be mediocre.

th.

Kato O didn't expect that Beiruhu would cry.

The sad voice, sobbing, gradually started to cry loudly. It seemed that he could not accept such a mediocre self...

This was a possibility that Kato Ou had never thought of, but he could clearly feel the sadness in Bei Liuhu's heart and roughly understood what this man was thinking.

Standing in front of him, the man who liked white and was a bit naive felt for the first time his own mediocrity. He was also completely filled with despair and no longer had any pride.

It's just that it's a little too weak...

"It's ridiculous..."

"Compared with people who are better than you, no matter what, you are mediocre."

"If you go by your thoughts, maybe in this world, only the legendary ancestor of everything - the Sage of Six Paths - is extraordinary."

Kato Ou paused, slowly withdrew the chakra wrapped in Beiruhu, kicked Beiruhu in the chest, and slammed him against the wall of the research room. Beiruhu didn't resist at all. A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth.

"A huge Konoha village is just a small ordinary jounin. What does your happiness, anger, sorrow and joy mean?"

Kato Ou chuckled lightly, with an inexplicable sarcasm on his lips. He didn't know whether he was mocking Beilihu or himself...

It was just that the quiet wind was not biting. Standing at the door of the research room, Kato Ou glanced at Bei Liuhu silently, and a faint blue stream of light silently entered between his eyebrows.

There seems to be quite a lot of lunatics in Konoha Village...

"For Flying Thunder God's research, you have to figure it out yourself. The rubbing of runes should be enough..."

"I don't want to be disturbed during this time..."

As if clearing away garbage, Jia San dragged Bei Liuhu's body out of the research room and threw him into the messy rest room like a storage room where debris was piled up. Bei Liuhu just looked at the ceiling blankly, wearing a white cloak. His chest was soaked in blood, but he still didn't move at all.

"The meaning of life is to live..."

"As long as you are alive, there are endless possibilities..."

Jia San's last words made Bei Liuhu turn his head slightly, but he only saw his leaving back. Bei Liuhu had never faced him so seriously, this root ninja who was always silent...

"Alive...are you...?"

The dark and damp underground is full of decay, gloom and stench. Beiliuhu can no longer remember the last time he faced death. He seems to have become accustomed to hiding in the research room all day long, dreaming of researching those things that can make him A ninjutsu that surpassed that of a person who was once astonishingly talented.

I don’t know how long it took, but on the cold ground, a ball of white mud covered with filth slowly stood up. Its eyes were no longer dead, but completely turned into an inexplicable gloom, as if the faint sound came from the depths of the abyss. The sound made the surrounding air seem a bit colder.

"One day... one day... I will make you tremble and look at me, look up to me, and respect me..."

"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and that brat...I will use my own way to defeat you completely!"

"Let you, too, experience the humiliation I am enduring..."

As if it was just a self-declaration, and as if he was trying to find the meaning of living again, Bei Liuhu's voice was not too loud. Hidden deep in the underground research room, there was no ripple.

……

Some people leave as if they had never appeared before. No matter how you look for them, there is no trace...

It has been more than a month since he returned to Konoha Village, but no matter how much Obito searched, he could not find any trace of Kato Oo. There was almost no trace of his existence in the entire Konoha...

"Why should I look for that guy... He didn't even come to the dinner specially prepared for him by the teacher..."

Obito was walking on the street to Lin's house. In the early morning in Konoha Village, everyone was busy in their own way, and no one seemed to care about the thoughts of a half-grown boy.

I don’t know why, but the figure of that slightly indifferent young man who only appeared in his life for a few short months always echoed in his mind, as if he was still haunted...

"Lin...are you there?"

There was no response from the empty room. Obito knew that he seemed to be late, but for some reason, he just slowly put down his hand to knock on the door and stood quietly at the door of Lin's room.

"Where did this bastard Xu... go?"

As if he thought of something, Obito's eyes lit up. Minato, who went to support the Iwa Ninja battlefield, should be back today. He must be waiting for them at the training ground now. He didn't believe that even Minato-sensei didn't know where Kato Oo had gone... …

"It's late... it's late... it's miserable... Minato-sensei wouldn't tell me just because I'm late..."

Obito's feet changed from the silence of the past few days and suddenly became very fast. He jumped up continuously on the high platform and ran towards the training ground...

The sun is shining, and the distant mountains of Konoha are covered with green. The green halo lingers in the early spring forest. Against the long white clouds that fill the sky, they just stare quietly at the hurried pedestrians.

The clouds in the human world are green and the trees are full of green trees in spring.

This season begins with gentleness.
