Chapter 187: Asura
"In this way, the Nine-Tails Pillar captures ..... It's done."
The moment the Nine-Tails Chakra disappeared from Naruto's body, the words of Heavenly Dao's indifference came out of his mouth, staring at Naruto's body that had become full of holes under the weight of repulsion with an almost merciless look, so he stepped forward without hurry.
And in the face of Tiandao, who was approaching his seriously injured body step by step, Naruto continued to lie on the ground in an embarrassed posture, with a pair of eyes full of unwillingness and anger, mixed with a trace of hatred, and glared at Tiandao fiercely.
probably wanted to completely engrave the indifferent and ruthless posture of Tiandao in the depths of his memory. "It's really tenacious, the physique of the Uzumaki clan is really blessed, but with this qualification, it seems that I'm not qualified to say such things."
There was a faint smile on the corner of Tiandao's mouth, but it didn't make people feel the slightest warmth, some were just as cold as machines, just puppets that acted according to someone's will - this is the meaning of Payne's birth in the world.
He was surprised that Naruto was still able to maintain consciousness and not fall unconscious in this state, and in terms of the physique of the Uzumaki Clan, Naruto could probably be at the forefront of the Uzumaki Clan.
If you want to withstand the huge chakra of the Nine-Tails, even an ordinary ninja of the Uzumaki clan may not be able to fully withstand it.
Among the top-secret information left by Madara, the Nine-Tails is the closest to the Ten-Tails, and has a part of the Ten-Tails origin that the rest of the Tailed Beasts don't have.
If there can be a battle between the tailed beasts, the nine-tailed and one-tailed beast will be able to deal with several tailed beasts at the same time without being defeated.
From the results of Orochimaru's analysis based on part of the Nine-Tails Chakra in the past, it seems that it also proves that the Nine-Tails are extraordinary.
If it weren't for the fact that the Nine-Tails Pillar Force hadn't fully grown up, it wouldn't have been these corpse puppets who came to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails this time.
After saying this, Heavenly Dao had already come to Naruto and stood still, an invisible but heavy pressure, as if a mountain was directly pressing on Naruto's body, so that he could only raise his head with great difficulty, and his eyes were filled with the furious flames that burned everything.
"Why? You're also a disciple of a lustful immortal, right, why do you have to kill him? Why do you want to do such a thing to Konoha?"
Naruto suddenly asked loudly.
Defeated at the hands of someone who destroyed Konoha like this and killed many Konoha ninjas, his heart was full of unwillingness.
However, in the face of Naruto's questioning, Tendo only responded with an indifferent attitude. "What kind of peace is it for you to kill innocents like this!"
Tendo also seemed to fall into a brief silence in response to Naruto's repeated questioning.
"The reason for killing Jiraiya-sensei has been given before, he is not a ninja who will compromise with others, and he will not die until he dies. In the same way, I am well aware of the belief of Jiraiya-sensei, and when I was young, my companions and I used to travel around the Land of Rain in order to realize the peaceful world he envisioned, seeking opportunities for negotiations between countries and achieving peace through a 'bloodless war'. That's the faith that the original Akatsuki held."
γ..... Have you betrayed your past?"
"No, it's just that the gap between dreams and reality is too big, and in that environment, my companions who believe in peace are dying worthless in conspiracy and betrayal one by one, and I have to bow my head to the cold reality. After all, it was you Konoha who betrayed first."
"What do you mean?"
Naruto endured the pain and looked at Tendo with a blank look.
"Investigated my affairs, but didn't know anything about the last ninja war? Achieving peace with mere passion and impulse is nothing more than a repetition of the tragedy of the past. Well..... Maybe it's because the higher-ups in your village haven't opened up that part of the information to you, but they're really protective of you."
Now it was Tiandao's turn to be surprised.
"So, don't talk about it here, Konoha betrayed you..... What the hell is it talking about! Make it clear to me!"
Naruto's words about Heavenly Dao that wanted to cover up were incomprehensible to Naruto.
In his recognition of the facts, and
There is no mention of what the so-called 'betrayal' is.
"The new generation of Konoha ninjas built in a peaceful world are really innocent and cute. Although it is just some garbage that has been swept into the dust of history, for the sake of the face of the same door, if you want to know, then let me tell you."
Tendo slowly crouched down and grabbed Naruto's hair with his calloused palm, forcing his head to lift upwards and meet his own reincarnation eyes.
"In the last Great Ninja War, the third Great Ninja War, you Konoha and Sand Hide requisitioned the Land of Rain as a battlefield for military struggles between the great powers. Because the front-line struggle is too tight, you Konoha pulled us into the battlefield and attacked the sand together..... However, in Yuyin's operation against Shayin, Konoha, who was supposed to jointly attack Shayin, suddenly gave up the plan to annihilate the main force of Shayin with Yuyin, and carried out a sneak attack on the rear of Shayin, so that you Konoha won a complete victory on the battlefield of the Land of Rain. And Yuyin, who was surrounded by Sand Hide, was completely annihilated by Sand Hide's main force, including the former leader of Rain Hide, who also died in the conspiracy planned by Konoha that time."
"This kind of thing..... How is that possible?"
Naruto's eyes widened, unable to believe every word Tendo said.
"Nothing is impossible, the Land of Fire and Konoha have always been the most powerful countries and ninja villages in the ninja world before the rise of the Land of Demons, but they have also been coveted by many people because of this. Therefore, this country, as well as Konoha, needs to protect its own interests in countless struggles. Only when the surrounding countries are weak can the two sides become friendly 'neighbors'. It turns out that your Konoha decision was correct, and through that conspiracy and betrayal, Konoha seized the final fruits of victory, and at the same time took the opportunity to weaken the power of Yuyin."
There was no admiration or hatred in Heavenly Dao's tone, as if he was speaking from the perspective of a third person. However, this is not the end of it, and Tiandao continues to state that fact in an indifferent tone:
"After that, Sand Hide, who couldn't meet the logistics, had no choice but to retreat from the war, and the Land of Rain, which lost its military protection, and the Rain Hide, were subjected to the dual remote control of the Land of Fire and Konoha. The ninjas at the root of Konoha pried open the closed gate of Yugakure by force, hanged all the rebels, and imposed a blood-colored rule for several years, during which the water of the lakes around Yugakure was red. And this matter was also acquiesced in by the third generation Hokage who had passed away at that time."
After Naruto heard this, his originally angry mood was suddenly filled with complexity, an invisible sense of depression, and he suddenly didn't know what kind of attitude to refute.
The anger made him want to refute that this was just the other party's words, but reason came to tell him that these things were likely to be true.
γ.... So, are you taking revenge on Konoha now?" Naruto asked in a somewhat somber mood.
Heavenly Dao was slightly silent.
"If it's for revenge, it's not just these corpse dolls. Although revenge can justify all the attacks on Konoha in the name of the name, and even indiscriminately kill and injure those ordinary people who have no power to resist, in return for what Konoha has done in the past, but everything that has been obtained by sticking to this mood is just venting the private anger in the heart to the weak, and in the end it will only get farther and farther away from the peaceful world I have built."
Naruto was a little overwhelmed.
"Now that the nations are competing with each other, chaos has emerged, and the Fifth Shinobi War is imminent. It will be an unprecedented chaos, but after that, there will be a real great rule, and whoever can win the next war will have the right to control the world."
"That's too alarmist! Moreover, you are only using force to achieve your own ends, and that kind of peace is only built under the reign of terror! No one will be convinced!"
Naruto argued loudly.
It's not just a disapproval of the other party's approach, but also the Fifth Ninja World War or something, this kind of rhetoric is too radical.
He has never experienced the so-called ninja war, but he is no stranger to the brutality of battle.
"You're right, sheer force cannot be used to rule, it will terrify everyone. But
Without absolute violence as a means, what do you use to protect your adherents? And what do you use to express your ideas? By negotiation? Even if they do, who will listen? My companions, in the aimless negotiations, were betrayed and slaughtered by you, and countless compatriots became numerical livestock on your Konoha operating table, and hundreds of thousands of families were destroyed and displaced. Do you want me to be betrayed by Konoha and by your great powers again?"
It seemed that these words shocked Naruto, leaving him speechless and unable to say anything to refute, and Tendo's tone suddenly turned cold, loosening Naruto's hair, slowly standing up straight, and glaring at Naruto with condescending cold eyes.
"Everything in this world is limited, there will be no so-called fair distribution, this is the case between people, the same is true between countries, excellent resources can only be grabbed by grabbing, only stupid people will wait in place, to think of negotiating 'to get fruits'."
"To do this, I need to gather the strength of all the Tailed Beasts and provide military support to protect the group that I want to achieve. Man is like a wild beast that hunts in the forest, only by fighting can he get everything he wants, peace..... Eventually, it will be born in countless struggles!"
Feeling that he had said enough, Tiandao's tone couldn't help but soften, and the whole person once again returned to the 'sculpture' posture that was indifferent to anything, like a zombie, a walking corpse, not bothered by human emotions, nor angered by external factors.
"That's my opinion, Naruto Uzumaki, what do you think as a fellow disciple? If you're talking about a world where people understand each other, I'm very disappointed. After all, the toad prophet who chewed his tongue everywhere had already been slaughtered."
Faced with Tendo's question, Naruto lowered his head and remained silent.
He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to refute.
As for Konoha once betraying Yuyin, his heart has been intertwined with extremely complex hatred and guilt.
He hated what Tendo had done to Konoha and the mistakes that Konoha had betrayed in the past. "Seeing you now reminds me of my past self. I used to have the same belief as you now, relying on a passion for action, relying on the so-called justice, the so-called compassion, the so-called understanding of others, believing that all people will be moved by their love, accepting others with the greatest kindness, believing that this world will enter a beautiful era of mutual understanding between people. But in the end, this beautiful dream, I woke up without wanting to."
Tiandao's tone was a little sad and lamented, as if he was missing that beautiful self, the self who carefully embarked on the journey with immature dreams.
He saw the shadow of his past in Naruto's body now, as well as the shadow of his best friend Yahiko, and the countless companions who selflessly sacrificed their lives for this immature dream.
As a result, countless pains and scars were engraved on his body, and he completely woke himself up.
What I have to face is hundreds of thousands, millions of pairs of eyes full of pain and tears in the Land of Rain.
The Land of Rain is a small country that has completely destroyed its economic, political, and even military systems by war. "Prayer can't awaken the sympathy and pity of others, in this world, the only one who can save yourself is yourself, and what I do now is no different from what you Konoha have done in the past. We're each acting for our own righteousness, so you don't need to feel guilty, just hand over the Nine-Tails."
Tiandao felt that the time was almost up.
In his perception, there were quite a few Konoha ninjas chasing after him.
In the sky, even Konoha ninjas dressed in flying ninjas flew over and began to reconnoiter the situation here. Fortunately, the target has lost the ability to resist, and the rest of the work is just to move to a safe base and then seal it.
Damn it! Naruto tried to struggle, but the bones in his body seemed to fall apart, and he couldn't stand up at all. But if he continued to use the Nine-Tails Chakra, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't lose control.
Because the four-tailed stage is not the opponent of the Heavenly Way at all, and if he wants to compete head-on with the other party, Naruto feels that he must at least awaken more tails.
Moreover, this place is still very close to Konoha, if the power of the Nine-Tails is completely out of control, it may bring more serious consequences than the Heavenly Dao attacking Konoha.
Can you only let your dad make a move? Naruto knew that Mizuto must have seen what was going on. Psychologically, though, he couldn't let such a fight go to Watergate.
He could see that Watergate controlled him to fight at the cost of his own existence. Naruto was in a dilemma all of a sudden.
- Alas. A sigh came. --Dad?
- Let me come, Naruto, I'll try to buy as much time as possible, Tsunade-sama's side should already be in the rescue. I'll be mindful.
For the current situation, Watergate also knows that it is very unfavorable to its own side.
But if the other party is allowed to take Naruto's fate, the consequences will undoubtedly be more serious. He didn't expect that the power of the reincarnation eye would be so powerful.
Just a few corpses forced Naruto and Konoha into such a situation. Thankfully, it's not the main body.
--I know.
Naruto also knew the seriousness of his capture, and at this time, he could only believe that Watergate and Konoha would take corresponding support actions.
So, Naruto immediately turned off his consciousness and fell into a deep sleep, allowing Mizuto's consciousness to take over him.
Seeing Naruto close his eyes in exhaustion, with a posture of leading the way to death, Tiandao raised his eyebrows slightly. "Have you given up resisting?"
However, according to the information gathered by Bai Jue, the other party is not a ninja who will easily give up his fighting spirit. "Forget it, it's okay, it saves me a lot of effort."
Heavenly Dao stretched out his palm. "Vientiane ....."
Just as he was about to absorb Naruto's body, in an instant, Naruto's body was wrapped in a layer of high-density golden chakra, which made his whole body bloom with golden light, and the whole person seemed to be reborn, radiating an incomparable vitality.
γ!?γ
Seeing this scene, Tiandao was suddenly stunned.
Immediately, a dangerous consciousness penetrated into the brain, and without thinking about it, Tiandao instantly jumped backwards, wanting to distance himself from Naruto.
However, the pupils of the next moment instantly constricted, and Naruto's figure disappeared from his field of vision.
A terrifying aura came from behind, rushing up his spine, and even the Heavenly Dao of the corpse felt the danger of death.
"HRE!"
Rumble!
With itself as the center, he set off a violent storm of repulsion, shaking the golden figure that suddenly appeared behind him into the air.
However, this golden figure only took a few steps back, and then the repulsive force that was wrapped around its body was dispersed, and the eyes that shot straight at it were as sharp as a blade.
"This familiar tremor...... Sixteen years ago, I met once, and that night you released the Nine-Tails in Konoha."
An icy murderous aura, a somewhat immature adult male voice that didn't belong to Naruto, spit out from Naruto's mouth.
"Wait, you'reβ"
Tendo's heart was shocked, and when he heard Naruto's words, he seemed to have guessed something all at once. He didn't expect that in Naruto's body, there was such a terrifying killer weapon hidden.
"Tell me a little bit about the shady things you did with Chiba Shiraishi that night, I'm very interested in everything that has been conspired between you and him."
"After Naruto' finished speaking, the murderous aura in his eyes cracked even more, and he was almost able to compete with the Heavenly Dao, which was the same as the Heavenly Dao, and it was a terrifying murderous aura that could only be exercised by ninjas who came out of the corpse mountain and sea of blood.
The next moment, he stretched out his finger from the ninja bag and quickly hooked it, taking out the rather iconic three-pronged kunai.
Then the arm was thrown out like lightning, and the kunai shot out like lightning.
At the same time, a golden flash of light flashed away, and Tiandao saw that the vision in front of him was infected with gold, and a chakra ball shining with golden aura was aimed at his face and quickly pressed.
Where is this?
Naruto, who was controlled by others, sank his consciousness to the deepest part of his heart.
Beneath his feet was a still lake, on which Naruto's feet stomped and did not fall.
The colors around are dim, but the visible area is not too narrow, rather, the space here is a little wider than expected.
Naruto was curious and confused by what he was looking at, and he had no idea what kind of place he had come to.
"Hey, anyone?" Naruto shouted loudly.
However, the voices echoed, and no one answered the question.
This made Naruto even more curious, and as he took a step forward, the originally still water surface immediately rippled and began to fluctuate slightly.
"Where are you going?"
The sudden sound startled Naruto. "Who are you? Get me out!"
Naruto's biggest fear was ghosts and the like, and he couldn't see a human figure, but there was a voice that made Naruto shiver all of a sudden.
"Come out? I've come out, oh, right at your feet." "Underfoot?"
Naruto froze for a moment and looked down. "Ahh
Naruto took a step back in fright.
He found that the reflection on the surface of the water was not reflected by himself, but by an extremely strange young man.
Dressed in a rather old white robe, with black magatama painted on the collar and chest, a white bandage wrapped around the forehead, and hair tied with ropes hanging down on both sides, this style of dressing and hairstyle are clearly different from the current trends in various countries.
In Naruto's astonished eyes, this being, which was originally just a reflection under the water's surface, suddenly broke away from the position where the reflection was, and walked under the horizontal plane, but began to rotate one hundred and eighty degrees, standing face to face and standing opposite Naruto, making Naruto's expression even more stunned.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have scared you, but don't worry, I have no ill will towards you." Ignoring the other party's words, Naruto spoke in a surprised tone:
"Who are you? Why is it here? What kind of place is this?" The young man paused, and smiled back with a calm smile.
"This is the deepest part of your mental world, where I have lived since you were born. As for me, you can call me Asura, and in the words of your current age, I should be considered an ancient man a thousand years ago."
The young man named 'Asura' said something that stunned Naruto in an extremely indifferent tone. Asura? A thousand years ago? The ancients?
Naruto's mouth suddenly opened wide, not knowing how to respond to the other party. The Asura continued to smile.
"Okay, don't be so surprised, after all, all that's left is a remnant of my chakra, and I don't have much time to exist, I hope you can listen to me and finish it well."
"What?" Naruto was a little confused.
"Well, let's put it this way, I am one of my descendants who deposited my chakra after death, and you who have the blood of the Uzumaki clan are also considered to be one of my descendants."
γ.... Can you explain that in a more nutshell?" Naruto raised his hand, indicating that he didn't understand at all.
Now it was Asura's turn to be silent, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
So, he let out a sigh and looked at Naruto.
"To put it simply, after I die, Chakra will look for ninjas who will inherit my bloodline and lodge them, and you are equivalent to my reincarnation."
Naruto nodded as if he didn't understand, though he still didn't quite understand.
Asura sighed, this reincarnated person didn't seem to have a very smart brain. "Why are you sighing?"
Naruto didn't know so this.
"Oh, nothing, I'm just a little envious of that guy Indra all of a sudden. Although the battle is over, I am still not very willing."
