Vol 6 Chapter 43: Back to Konoha (1)

When Naruto woke up again, what he saw was Kushina who was sitting beside him.

"Mother……?"

Naruto said confusedly, "I'm back in Konoha?"

Hearing Naruto's voice, it took a while for Kushina to react, and she quickly raised her head to make herself look refreshed

Then he said angrily, "Yeah, how can you make yourself like this when you go out on a mission?"

Naruto smirked, he didn't want to tell what happened before, and he didn't want to tell about the person he saw who called him his brother and called "Uzumaki Mianma".

Because this is bound to make Kushina feel worried. His transaction with the other party was at the cost of his own life. Now that he has lost a quarter of his life, this matter must not be told to Kushina.

"Didn't Kakashi-sensei tell you? Oh, by the way, how long has it been since I came back?"

"It's been two days..." Kushina looked worried, "JoJo and Sasuke, who were with you, woke up not long after they returned to the village, only you have been asleep for so long, even Tsunade-sama can't tell who you are. What's wrong."

"Mother-in-law Tsunade can't see it, doesn't that mean I'm fine!" Naruto said with a smile

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll also inform Anbu about your awakening."

Kushina shook her head. Orochimaru also visited when Naruto was in a coma before, and told Kushina to let Naruto find him when he woke up.

Kushina couldn't guess what Orochimaru wanted to do, but since Orochimaru had said so, he had no way to refuse.

After all, Orochimaru is Konoha's fifth-generation Hokage. Although she is no longer a ninja, as long as she lives in Konoha, it is unlikely that she will refuse Orochimaru's request.

And Orochimaru probably wants to know the situation. After all, according to Kakashi, he has no idea what happened next, so it is necessary for the other three children to ask.

………………

When Kushina left, Naruto sat up on the bed in a daze. At this time, he thought about all kinds of things that happened in the country of waves, and it only felt like a dream.

So a powerful demon was slaughtered by himself like this?

He remembered that after he agreed to the deal of 'Mianma', that powerful force poured in and at the same time there seemed to be another personality controlling him. Naruto could only recall what happened in a trance, as if From that moment on, your body doesn't belong to you.

Is this the price he speaks of? Exchange your own soul for power?

"Are you afraid?"

At this time, Naruto felt that the original feeling came again. At this moment, the time was infinitely stretched, and the second hand of the clock in the room was almost stagnant, and everything was still.

Mianma, who looked exactly like himself, appeared in the room. He skillfully pulled a chair to the side of the bed and sat down, looking at himself quietly.

"Afraid? Afraid of what?"

This time Naruto did not marvel, but instead asked, "Are you afraid that my life will be taken away by you? Thinking about it now, I am indeed a little scared. If you take my life, then my mother will be very sad."

"She's just my son."

Naruto's voice was a little low, and then suddenly became light

"By the way, I still don't know who you are? Why do you look like me?"

"Naruto Naruto, whirlpool face numb... In fact, it shouldn't be like this." Mian Ma raised his head and said softly

"If the world line developed normally, it would be Naruto Uzumaki and Naruto Naruto, but the two who were supposed to be opposites turned into this relationship after the surname was changed..."

He shook his head "I am a ghost, a ghost floating in history and destiny, I was born because of the wrong world line. So to you I am still a devil, as long as we make our deal I can take it away Your body takes your place."

"Replace my existence..." Naruto was taken aback for a moment, "Are you just saying that?"

"You will need my strength sooner or later, you will either exchange your life or lose everything you value." Mian Ma replied calmly, "No matter what you choose, it will be beneficial to me, so I don't need to choose. ."

"Is that so..." Naruto lowered his head and suddenly laughed, "Then let's have a test to see if I will be taken away by you! I remember you called my brother before, right? Let's have a fight between brothers!"

"Competition?" Mian Ma chuckled, "You will understand later that this can never be described as a contest."

"Then let's wait and see!"

Naruto clenched his fists, and when he looked up, he found that the numbness had disappeared for some time.

Only the chair he pulled over earlier proved that someone had just come...

………………

"elder brother!"

As soon as Itachi came home from the mission, he saw Sasuke leaning in front of the door, looking expectant.

Itachi walked over, patted Sasuke's head and asked, "I remember you didn't go to the ninja trial? Why, did you finish it so soon?"

He had just finished the task of Anbu, and only knew that Sasuke was going to the country of waves, but he didn't expect that when he got home, Sasuke was already waiting for him.

He has successfully completed the task and is waiting for his praise?

Itachi was already thinking about how to reward Sasuke in his mind. As for Sasuke's failure in the trial, he never thought about it. Although Sasuke has not yet reached the age of graduating from ninja school, he is actually no worse than Genin or even Chunin.

"Speaking of this, brother, I want to tell you something."

Sasuke took Itachi back to the house and sat down, and began to talk about the strange fruit he ate after he arrived in the country of waves. He kept talking about the attack of the evil **** of fire cloud, and then he and others did not know who gave it to him. He was rescued, and then sent back by Kakashi.

"Strange fruits and powerful demons?"

After listening to it, Itachi's face sank, Sasuke is carrying out the trial of becoming a ninja, even Kakashi, the elite Junin, almost died there, and even adults Jiraiya are in danger.

"Don't worry about that for now!" Sasuke started to get excited. "I have eaten the burning fruit that Kakashi said, and my strength has increased a lot! Even you may not be my opponent now!"

"Really, that's really congratulations." Itachi took what Sasuke said to the bottom of his heart, and smiled.

"Sasuke wants to have a game with me, so let's go outside."

After speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

Sasuke couldn't wait to catch up, and the two stood apart in the courtyard, ready to fight together.

Sasuke took a breath and quickly formed the fire escape seal, and the next moment a fireball was spit out of his mouth.

Art fire escape **** fireball!

Itachi dodged with a flash, only to find that the corner of Sasuke's mouth curled up, and with a wave of his hand, the fireball that had been dodged by him suddenly turned a corner and continued to charge towards him.

Burning the fruit to control the flame?

Itachi made the seal at a speed that ordinary people couldn't catch, and the next moment a water dragon gathered around him and formed, the water dragon opened its huge mouth and swallowed the fireball, causing it to make a muffled sound inside the water dragon.

At this time, Sasuke was also ready for the next wave of attacks. He gave a low voice, and countless flame rays as thin as needles shot out from his fingers, like a rain of fire, and Itachi could only continue to dodge.

"Brother, you are too careless! I won this game!"

Itachi was shocked when he heard the words. At this time, he found that there were silk threads all around him at some point in time. Sasuke puffed out his mouth and spit out flames, allowing him to quickly surround Itachi along the silk threads.

"Surrender, Itachi."

Sasuke said complacently.

…………

In the room, looking at Sasuke who was lying on the table confidently saying this, Itachi smiled helplessly, then stood up and closed his own writing wheel, and set it to let him go five minutes after he left. Sasuke's illusion is lifted.

When he walked out of the room, his expression changed to his usual indifference, and he was going to ask his father and Brother Zhishui what was going on.

At this time, his father and Brother Zhishui should both be in the garrison, which is convenient for him.

It's just that when he arrived at the Konoha Police Department headquarters with the Uchiha family emblem engraved on it, he only saw Shishui who was busy.

He had replaced Fuyue as the new police chief a few years ago, and Fuyue was the full-time head of the Uchiha clan, but after all, it was where he worked for more than ten years, and Fuyue often came to the police. The Ministry of Affairs is here to help Shishui.

It's a bit rare that he's neither at home nor at the police department this time...

"The patriarch went to the newly established Kassel Academy. Recently, Lord Hokage and Mr. Angers have been there for a long time. This time, there must be something going on with the patriarch."

Shishui was also very happy to see Itachi coming back. He took Itachi back to his office and said so on the way.

After dragging on the chaotic blessing of the world ten years ago, the estrangement between Konoha and the Uchiha clan has almost disappeared. Of course, the main reason for this is that Orochimaru, who doesn't mind these things, was replaced by Hokage. Almost all the old people with old thoughts were excluded by him. Outside the power level of Konoha, otherwise Naruto would not have summoned the patriarch of the Uchiha clan to discuss anything.

But in recent years, this kind of thing is quite common.

"Do you have anything to ask the patriarch?" Zhishui asked.

"No, it's not something you're particularly anxious about. And I've already thought about asking you about it."

Itachi sat upright and sat opposite Zhishui, and said in a deep voice, "You must have heard of Sasuke's previous incident, right?"

This kind of major event, and it is also related to Jiraiya, it is very unlikely that Shishui does not understand, after all, he is also a high-level Konoha Cenozoic, or a disciple of Jiraiya, and he should know this. next thing.

Shishui smiled and said, "I knew it had something to do with Sasuke, yes, I already knew about it when Kakashi-senpai came back, but I couldn't get away from going to the country of waves, and the teacher Since I still choose to stay there, I think I have my own arrangements, and if I go rashly, I might disturb him."

Speaking of which, he looked embarrassed again

If he was unofficial and light-hearted before the change, he would have applied to Hokage to go to the Land of Waves anyway after learning about this.

But now he is Konoha's police chief, the core force responsible for protecting Konoha's local security. If he leaves his post without permission, then if Konoha encounters any danger, he will be a sinner.

After the reconciliation between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan, most of Anbu's security work for the village was accepted by the Uchiha clan. The current Konoha garrison is a veritable garrison, just like the police who were responsible for some trivial matters before. It is obviously inconsistent with the military profession of ninja.

Because in the past, Anbu was also accused of being responsible for the security of the village, which made the Uchiha family look more embarrassed.

Itachi understands this very well, so he doesn't say much, but asks again

"There is another question, that is the fruit that Sasuke ate. Do you have any guesses?"

"I talked to the patriarch about this..." Zhi Shui frowned slightly He leaned back against his body and said slowly

"We think Kakashi's guess is very likely to be correct. The fruit that Sasuke ate is the burning fruit that Ace said at the beginning. I just don't know if there is only one fruit..."

At the beginning of Shichibukai's birth, Itachi was still very young, but after so many years as a ninja, he knew something about the original things. After all, as the son of the Uchiha clan, he has many news channels.

So he said with some doubts, "If according to what Shichibukai said at the beginning, Ace represents the D family, I thought that burning the fruit would be the power of this family."

Just like the Uchiha clan has a writing wheel, it is not surprising that a clan as old as the D clan can still serve as a member of the Qibukai.

"It may not always be burning fruit."

Shishui chuckled and said, "If everyone in the D family is burning the fruit, then Ace didn't need to emphasize this point at the beginning, just say that he can control the flame."

"...This is also." After being reminded by Zhishui, Itachi said thoughtfully, "You mean that apart from burning the fruit, the D family has other fruits? After eating them, they will get different kinds of fruits. The ability to control the burning fruit of flames?"

"Just a guess, but I personally think it's a very likely thing."

Speaking of this, Zhishui was a little troubled, and he spread his hands, "Anyway, we have no way to verify it. Those who know something about the D family and its members are already dead, we can't get any guesses. answered."

Itachi nodded noncommittally. If he could get other fruits, maybe he would know something about the burning fruit at the moment Sasuke ate it.
