Between the words, the solemn look on Naruto's face did not ease because of the gradual calming down of this strange energy body. On the contrary, due to the re-reinforcement of the seal, the energy body instantly became well-behaved, and this rather spiritual reaction felt more and more wrong.

After all, at the beginning, that is, during the entrance exams, when the existence of this energy body was perceived. Because of the firm restraint of the multi-layered seals, the possibility of energy leakage was completely cut off, so Naruto did not deliberately take it to heart, and even felt quite funny about the instinctive intuition that vaguely believed that it was also a part of his birth......

But now that I think about it, the development of events may not be as simple as Naruto imagined......

You must know that at the beginning of Naruto, that is, when he first came to this Naruto world, the plan he set for himself was to follow the development of the original plot step by step, and make a "crane tail" that seemed to be no threat at all, resulting in an extremely low sense of existence. And then take advantage of this precious and rare time for stable development, and do your best to improve your strength!

In this case, what if Naruto was really determined to act according to the original plan wholeheartedly? So, according to common sense, let alone talking like now, now is not the best time to persuade Orochimaru. However, the body took the initiative to talk to Orochimaru and warned and persuaded him...... I'm afraid it started from the beginning, that is, on the day I first met the small group fan. There was no way that Naruto would easily change the original plan for perfection because of the appearance of the small fan. It is even more impossible to protect the kind and simple nature of the young Tuan Fan, and with his fragile body that has not yet fully matured, he personally took risks to negotiate with Tuan Zang!

Thinking back on this comparison, Naruto felt more and more frightened for a while......

After all, if you think about it, it is clear that before each action, Naruto has already judged the risks and benefits of the results with the help of the "spoiler cheating" of the original plot. But when it comes to real action, it's still like a brain mess. Because of all kinds of external influences, naturally, it is inevitable to go against the original intention and make the opposite choice!

For the sake of the small group fan who had just met, he broke the bottom line of the principle of keeping a low profile, and chose to risk his life to rewrite the fate of the Uchiha clan.

In order to never meet, and in the original plot, I Airo and Uzumaki Xianglian, who obviously have a whitewashed fate, can have a relatively warm childhood, and they do not hesitate to leave the village and go to Shayin Village.

Even in the process of letting Hizuki inform Ning Ci of the truth about the sacrifice of Hizaku in advance, even under the arrangement of the shadow clone's own assertions, it was obvious that some things could be effective if they were not to act in advance. It will become more and more difficult to guess the impact of the butterfly effect because of the changes it has made too many changes. But they still turn a blind eye to these huge hidden risks...... So much so that on the second day after returning to the village, Naruto quietly left the village without stopping, once again risking the attention of Obito and the others in advance!

Obviously, there is no 100% certainty about the probability of success. I never imagined what kind of changes would be caused to the development route of the entire plot once I failed...... Naruto is still like a demon, trying to match Jiraiya and Tsunade, the awkward stupid couple in advance, and bring Yakushidou, who is one of the final bosses of the Naruto world, back to the village in advance!

These actions, to Naruto's mind at the time, seemed so natural, and there was no sense of disobedience at all. is even more subconsciously, thinking that he is the best choice he can make in order to save the fate of his partners at the moment!

But now, when all the events have settled and become a foregone conclusion, I will slowly think back to the words I have figured out...... The various risks contained in this decision-making incident can definitely be regarded as a terrifying level that can put Naruto himself into a catastrophe without paying attention! So much so that even though the incident was over, in the process of calming down and thinking about it, Naruto became more and more happy......

I'm glad that my luck is not bad, and I didn't die in the process for no apparent reason!

There is a way, but there are no more than three things......

The succession of "impulsive" choices that appeared one after another, one after another, was enough for Naruto to completely conclude that this was not some accidental impulse with a hot brain. And even if I don't want to admit it in my heart, I have to think about it......

Could everything he do, or even every choice, be the result of this strange energy body of unknown origin being secretly manipulated and influenced?

In other words, everything really went as Naruto thought...... Is everything under control?

"Now think about it...... When I suddenly made up my mind to leave the village and go on a trip. If nothing else, it must be the result of this thing......"

Thinking of this made Naruto's brow furrow, and he subconsciously increased the infusion of chakra a little, so that the seals that shrouded the surrounding of this strange energy body became more solid and solid. He folded his arms thoughtfully and muttered to himself.

"After all, after discovering its existence, my original idea was to find some experts to see what was going on...... Now that I think about it, in addition to the fact that I had the idea of rewriting the fate of Xiangrin and my Airo in advance. More than that, it should be worried that the self that has been discovered will be expelled from my body by me, and deliberately used to delay the struggle of time......"

"In other words, this mass of unknown origin, like those of us who were separated from the Ten Tails at the beginning, are all energy collections that already have a certain independent self-consciousness...... Hmph, it's really the biggest in the world, and there are no surprises......"

At the same time, because of the ability to communicate with each other under the contract between himself and Naruto, the Nine Lamas understood the meaning of Naruto's words almost at the moment when Naruto's words fell. Then there was a bit of coldness in the beast's pupils, and he looked at the strange energy body that had settled down with ill intentions. While taking over the conversation, he continued word by word.

"Now that we've found out, this thing is the culprit behind all this trouble...... So what are you going to do next? ”

"How...... Honestly, it's a real headache. ”

The question that came out of the mouth of the Nine Lamas was the first problem that naturally put Naruto in front of him...... But he had more or less guessed that most of his choices were affected by this inexplicable energy body. For a while, Naruto, although he had already made a decision in his heart, was still in a dilemma and hesitated.

"After all, I can't guarantee that the idea I'm thinking about now is of my own will...... Or is it still that...... No, the guy's will. ”

It was also from this moment on, vaguely, that I guessed that this strange energy body was very likely to have the self-consciousness to be able to think independently—at least, it also had the desire to survive to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. As a result, Naruto's way of looking at this energy body gradually became the existence of some kind of living life from the original dead thing to be tamed and absorbed.

Fortunately, for Naruto, the crossing party, this situation is somewhat unexpected, but it is not so difficult to accept......

Well...... This is like the Venom symbiote that Naruto once watched in an American superhero comic called Spider-Man in his previous life...... Naturally, Naruto quickly adapted and calmed down, and at the same time, he regarded this strange energy body as another "tenant" who lived in his body like the Nine Lamas.

Of course, to be able to maintain such an optimistic thought, except for Naruto for a while, there is really no way to use this energy body of unknown origin. More because of the many choices made one after another, although it is indeed dangerous...... But at the same time, it also made Naruto, who had made up his mind to develop silently and alone before his strength grew, gained a lot of unexpected intimacy. And compared to Naruto's original vision, the entire childhood spent alone and alone, has had a drastic change, isn't it?

It is precisely because of this that in this decision that goes against the heart, in terms of the result alone, it can be regarded as a merit and a demerit. And for a while, I really can't think of any feasible and effective disposal plan. Driven by the familiarity that would emerge in his heart for no reason every time Naruto faced this strange energy body, he temporarily chose a conservative plan to wait and see.

If this thing will cause any trouble to Naruto or Naruto's companions in the days to come, Naruto will definitely do whatever it takes to expel and erase it from his body at all costs, even if he is desperate to damage himself!

And if, like those previous choices, it continues to drive Naruto, who in some cases seems too calm – or rather, cold-blooded and ruthless – to impulsively take the first step, and then succeed in saving and rewriting the fate of his companions in far unexpected circumstances?

Well, for Naruto, having such an unknown new tenant may not be too bad......

“…… Hmph, you're really the same as before, easy to feel soft-hearted, huh? Don't say I didn't warn you, but when something really happened because of the influence of this thing. You just want to cry, and you don't have a place to cry! ”

Through telepathic ability, after learning Naruto's thoughts at this moment, the Nine Lamas sneered and mocked as if they hated iron and steel.

But between the words, the Nine Lamas' obviously gentle eyes, as well as the slightly raised corners of their mouths, showed a smile of relief, but the Nine Lamas' true thoughts about this decision were quite satisfied, and they were completely exposed!

After all, in the final analysis, at the beginning, the Nine Lamas who met Naruto were not the same as this strange energy body. In order to continue to live, in order to regain his freedom, he was painstakingly thinking about how to completely corrupt and distort Naruto's heart, who was just a fragile ant in his eyes at that time, step by step. And then he is anti-guest-oriented, thinking all the time, what about the danger of taking Naruto's body for himself?

But now the Nine Lamas, in the process of getting along with Naruto, not only have they reined in the sharp minions that are exposed. is also in the company of getting along day and night, I don't know when, for this when he was outside, he maintained a grin-and-a heartless appearance. But when facing himself, he always seemed to be a different person, and the stinky boy who poured bitter water began to worry and care from the bottom of his heart......

"Hehe, then take a step, look at a step, and talk about it when the time comes! Anyway, there are so many uncertainties in this world. It's not something that I can estimate all of my budget by myself...... Therefore, from the very beginning, I never thought that all the choices I faced in the future could be carried out smoothly as I am now! ”

As soon as the Nine Lamas' words were finished, he couldn't help but smile more and more vigorously when he saw Naruto, who seemed to be dissatisfied with the curses and cursed, but actually cared about the reminders. Then he deliberately shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and while posing as a scoundrel who was not afraid of boiling water, he looked at the smiling beast pupils of the Nine Lamas with a smile, and continued word by word.

"Besides, I'm not alone for a long time...... Even if you say so, if something unexpected happens, you're not going to stand idly by, are you? Partner~"

"You don't give me sloppy eyes here, I'm all for myself! I don't want to bury you with this stinky boy without knowing it...... Besides, you still have the face to say such things? In the battle against Orochimaru, which idiot used the seal to suppress my power, so that I could only stare dryly? If I were a human, I'd be scared out of my heart attack by you bastard! ”

Naruto's words seemed to have given the Nine Lamas a fatal blow. So much so that for a while, he suddenly fell into a state of speechlessness. After coming back to his senses, he gritted his teeth and complained and complained. While in the bottom of my heart, I secretly pondered and thought about it.

"Partner......? Hey, flamboy...... I don't think I'm talking about it ......."

"Uh...... Ahem, at that time, I wasn't prepared...... Nine Lamas, if you have a large number of adults, you will dissipate your anger...... Yes! Grandpa Jiraiya, they're back! Nine Lamas, I'll go out first! I'll leave that guy's business to you! ”

Being used by the Nine Lamas to oppose the army made the look on Naruto's face suddenly look embarrassed and stiffened. Immediately, while sneering and currying favor with the Nine Lamas, he used his own perception to determine that this strange energy body was already in a dormant state without the slightest movement or mutation for the time being, shrouded in layers of seals. With the perception maintained at all times, he confirmed that Jiraiya and others were about to reach the range around him. Without waiting for the Nine Lamas to respond, they hurriedly threw out the next sentence as if they had fled from the wilderness, and returned their consciousness from this sealed space to the real world again.

"Tsk, this stinky boy, like his father, runs pretty fast......

Just as he was about to say something, he found that Naruto had fled, and the serious appearance that had been tense for the nine lamas finally relaxed with tears and laughter. Immediately, he looked sideways a little, staring at the strange energy body that seemed to be a little harmless to humans and animals under the layers of seals. He slowly leaned down and said to himself.

"Forget it, I was going to tell him to come......"

"I don't know where this thing came from, though. But at least, judging from the incident that was forcibly stripped out of Jiu Sinai's body back then...... Before Naruto, a stinky boy, comes of age, there shouldn't be any problems. ”

……

"Whew...... I hope this decision of mine is really out of my heart......"

After returning consciousness to his body, Naruto couldn't help but take a few deep breaths while opening his eyes, so as to suppress the uneasiness and wanderlust that shrouded him in his heart a few points, and try to keep the smile on his face as much as possible. Immediately, the corners of his mouth went up, and he changed into his usual sunny appearance, and while welcoming Jiraiya and others to get closer to him, he whispered to himself as if he were talking to himself.

"Well, but for now...... It's all done, it's time to go back to your own home and find your own mother~"
