Naruto: Immortal Spirit

The battlefield between Kirigakure and Konoha seemed to be at a standstill, and there were only occasional small fights, which made every ninja stationed here feel a little more confused.

They don't know what the top management of Konoha is planning, nor do they know too much information about the situation. They only know that their work is getting more and more boring, and even those who are stationed at work can't help but feel a little slacker.

"Why don't you see that guy Hyugamatsu so often lately?"

The captain of the three-man team, Yamayama Yamu looked at the rather bored Nara Kiyono and frowned slightly.

As a civilian chuunin, serving as the captain of the children of two big families, his words seemed to be inherently weak.

"Well..., I should have gone to the family headquarters. I heard that a big shot came..."

Nara Kiyono was leaning next to the big tree with his pillow next door, and said something lazily to Yamayagi, but his tone was not so respectful.

Shan Yamu frowned. The chuunin from the branch of the Nara family in front of him didn't have much of the intelligence that the Nara family was famous for, but he had learned the laziness of the Nara family thoroughly, but he couldn't say anything.

He didn't get any information, but his men were a hundred times more informed than he was, which was why it was difficult for him to do anything.

Teaming up with the children of a big family, even if these people couldn't become his friends or support him, he didn't want to offend them.After all, they have too many ways to deal with ordinary ninjas like themselves.

"Okay..., you tell him, let him try his best to focus on the tasks here, otherwise Orochimaru-sama will be blamed, and I can't bear it..."

"Captain, don't worry. Nothing major will happen during this period. After all, there is a big shot in the Hinata family. If there is any danger, they will not come here. They are much more valuable than us..."

Speaking of this, Nara Kiyono seemed to have a bit of disdain on his face.

"Oh?"

Although Nara Kiyono didn't explain, Yamayama Yamu seemed to understand something, and felt a little relieved.

"Are you a big shot in the Hyuga family? Could it be that someone from the Hyuga clan is coming... They are here... to obtain military honors and support the next head of the family? No wonder Hinata is so eager..."

"Is it time for the Hinata family to choose the next head of the family..."

Thinking of this, the people on the mountain couldn't help but feel a little bit unhappy in their hearts.

"The Hyuga clan hides behind when in danger, but now comes to gild..."

He shook his head and sneered slightly, as if he was mocking himself.For a small commoner Chuunin to think so much about these big family matters, he was really overestimating his abilities.

……

"The peach land will not be cut again..."

"The new Seven Ninja Swordsmen..."

Kato Ou did not blatantly explore Kirigakure Village. Seeing that it was already getting late, he returned to the small courtyard. From the memory of the guard, Kato Ou knew the name of the young ninja and his past.

The news that Momochi Zabuza, known as the Kirigakure Ghost Man, has now become the Seven Ninja Swordsmen does not seem to have spread. Except for some Kirigakure senior officials, not many people seem to know.

At least these guards who were born and raised in Kirigakure did not have this news in their minds.

"This person seems to be planning something special..."

There was a hint of interest in Kato O's eyes. He had his own purpose in coming to Kirigakure. If Kirigakure was in chaos, he would naturally be happy to see it happen.

"Itachi, you and Iruka will go to the Terumi family on my behalf tomorrow and say that I have something important to discuss..."

"Yes……"

Uchiha Itachi nodded, and Kato Oo frowned when Iruka hesitated to speak.

This child seems to be carefree, but he is actually more sensitive than anyone else. Because he has poor talents and does not have a prominent family, he has always had a bit of inferiority, so he always takes the first place when asked to do things. One wants to express himself.

"Forget it, let Xiyan and Itachi go..."

"Iruka follow me..."

"You have a good memory. You must remember all the secret places in Kirigakure you have explored in the past few days..."

Kato Oo slowly turned his head and looked at Iruka. He seemed to praise him smoothly, which already put a smile on Iruka's face.

"Yes! I remember it all! I remember it clearly!"

"That's good...don't make any mistakes..."

"Yes……"

Itachi remained expressionless, but Uozuki Xiyan glared at Iruka, but Iruka didn't seem to notice at all. He kept recalling something in his eyes and mumbling to himself.

Night fell slowly, the sea breeze of Kirigakure blew, and everyone fell into a warm dream.

In the attic of Terumi's house, the guards who guarded Kato Ou and others during the day came here quietly without anyone knowing.

In front of him, Terumi Mei, with her long bare legs and white toes, lost her solemnity and grace, lying on her side on the long carpet, looking at the guard in front of him.

But the guard didn't seem to dare to raise his eyes to take a peek at any of the beautiful scenery.

"Is there anything unusual about Misaka Kurasuke these days?"

"Reporting to Lord Ming, there is nothing unusual..."

"Misaka Kurosuke just reads some books during the day. Occasionally he takes the maid to go shopping on the street, but he just buys some food."

"The two handymen are very peaceful during the day and only go out occasionally."

Terumi Mei nodded and seemed to be slightly relieved. Gotachibana Yagura has been strictly checking outsiders in the village these days. She didn't want to give Gotachibana Yagura an excuse to criticize Terumi's family when she first took charge.

"Book? Can you see what kind of book it is?"

"My subordinates took advantage of him to do some research while he was out. They were all accounts and business books. Other than that, they were just some biographies and miscellaneous talks, and nothing else..."

"Well...that's good..."

"Everything will be business as usual after you return. As long as that person does not move, you will temporarily act as his bodyguards..."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Terumi Mei's eyes fell on the long knife on the guard's waist, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes. The guard cautiously raised his head to look at Terumi Mei, and then immediately lowered his head again.

"Yes! If there is any abnormality, my subordinates will know what to do..."

"Um……"

"Go..."

"Subordinates retire..."

After gently closing the door, the guard with a long knife quietly left the Terumi family.

The moonlight was silent, but the guards who were walking in the dark alleys of Kirigakure suddenly stopped and turned around slowly, looking at the Terumi family's station shrouded in the bright white moonlight, but there was no trace of fear on their faces anymore, they were just inexplicably exposed. A somewhat playful smile.

Suddenly pulling out the long knife from his waist, a streak of silver streaked across the night sky, and finally stopped in front of his eyes. The cold blade was a bit bright, reflecting the faint blue light in his eyes under the dark night sky.

"This knife is too fragile..."

"Based on it, I'm afraid it's still far away..."
