Chapter 403 Four Sides (End)

The ferocious murderous aura suddenly erupted from Mizuki's body, making Naruto feel cold all over.

He is only a student of the ninja school, and he has never seen a real battle, especially this kind of ruthless killing intent that can freeze the blood. For a young bird like him, it is more deterrent than any ninja secret art.

Sure enough, after this murderous deterrence, Naruto's body was frozen in place, unable to move, his blue eyes were filled with incomparable fear, and he swallowed his saliva.

Seeing this, Mizuki smiled slightly, stretched his hand behind his back, took down the huge shuriken that had been carried behind his back, weighed the weight of the huge shuriken, and then looked at Naruto with a smile.

Finally determined which part of Naruto to attack, and quickly released the huge shuriken.

"It's decided, let's abolish your right arm first!"

"ah!"

Naruto was so frightened that he staggered back and fell to the ground, but the huge shuriken didn't stop and flew straight towards him.

Naruto watched the huge shuriken rapidly grow bigger in his pupils, his face was covered with cold sweat.

Then, a shadow landed in front of my eyes.

Blood splashed on Naruto's face and clothes, and Naruto's eyes flashed involuntarily.

Iruka was facing himself, using his back made of flesh and blood to block the attack of the huge shuriken, and blood gushed out.

Naruto was dumbfounded for a moment.

Although Iruka was wearing a ninja suit that could be used as armor, the huge shuriken pierced his body viciously. In addition, he was injured a lot before, and now his body is probably on the verge of its limit.

"Sorry, actually hearing these things, you are also very sad, very painful...I don't have parents, I feel the same way..."

Iruka managed to maintain a smile on his face, but this smile was bitter no matter how you looked at it, as if he was laughing at himself.

That's right, he did resent Naruto's existence as Mizuki said in the past.

No matter how much he doesn't care about what he says, he still can't let go of the fact that his parents died at the hands of Kyuubi.

And Naruto, as the "incarnation" of Nine Tails, is indeed like a cursed existence to some extent.

However, after gradually understanding the painful fate of Naruto.

Only then did I realize that there are too many similarities between myself and Naruto.

Lost his parents since he was a child and grew up as an orphan.

Have experienced low self-esteem, been ridiculed by others, and have to do all kinds of silly behaviors to make people laugh, in order to get a glimpse of other people's eyes.

But this kind of gaze often contains strangeness.

No matter in what form, the past self and the present Naruto are all looking for proof of their existence.

Eager to be recognized, eager to be praised.

But because of this, this point will be used by others and become a tool in the hands of others to achieve their goals.

Mizuki also used Naruto's inner gap to do this.

"If I could notice your mood in advance after the exam, maybe I wouldn't..."

Perhaps it was because the shuriken stabbed in the back injured the internal organs, the blood gushing from the depths of the throat dripped again from the corner of the mouth.

However, just after he finished speaking, Naruto suddenly stood up and ran into the forest without looking back.

There is a certain kind of determination in the hesitation.

"For so many years of grievances, do you think that those two words can move you? Even if I don't intervene, once he knows the truth, he will look for opportunities to take revenge on Muye Village."

Mizuki sneered.

"Naruto...he is not the kind of person you said."

As a ninja, Iruka did not shake his faith just because of Mizuki's words.

Just pulled out the huge shuriken on his back, stood up from the ground with all his strength, then grabbed the huge shuriken and threw it at Mizuki.

Mizuki slightly turned his body sideways, letting the huge shuriken fly away by scraping the clothes on his chest.

"At this time, do you still want to be stubborn to the end? From the beginning, I hate you very much. What is there to pursue for such a thing?"

Mizuki asked incomprehensibly.

Iruka panted violently, as if mocking Mizuki, and said, "You who have given up the will of fire will never understand. Naruto, he is a Konoha ninja!"

This sentence, Iruka said firmly.

Mizuki was slightly silent, and put down Kunai who was about to kill Iruka.

looked at Iruka with extremely complicated eyes, but it was quickly replaced by firmness.

"Really? That used to be my belief, but now I have found another path. In this kind of world, only when you become stronger can you decide your own life. This is the true meaning I realized in Konoha."

Because it is too weak.

That's why I gave up my companion at the beginning to complete the task.

But because of this, an indelible stain was left on his resume.

Whether companions are important or tasks are more important, this is usually an extremely cruel choice for ninjas.

Ninjas who have not faced this kind of test cannot understand the loss and pain in it.

Mizuki felt that he could understand a little bit the pain that Konoha Baiya was facing at that time.

Konoha Baiya chooses a companion, and the slanderous public opinion intensifies in the village.

Because he chose the mission and chose to give up the lives of his companions, he was considered unworthy to survive as a Konoha ninja by the higher-ups.

He is about the same age as Kakashi, and has experienced what happened in that era.

He didn't understand in the past.

Later, he practiced task supremacy and was abandoned by the upper echelons.

He gradually realized what, this question has no answer.

"So, you just gave up?"

"It's not that I give up, but it gives up on me."

Mizuki walked over, passed by Iruka, glanced at him and said, "However, the will you practiced may be correct."

But not necessarily those to whom you owe your allegiance. Mizuki never said this sentence.

Actually, sometimes he envies Iruka very much.

Although I have used pranks in the past to show my sense of existence, but I can always be loved by many people and get the approval of others.

As Iruka's superficial friend, he is very aware of what happened to Iruka.

"You'd better not catch up again, so that I can show mercy and spare your life."

After leaving these words, Mizuki disappeared from Iruka like a gust of wind.

"Wait a minute, Mizuki!"

Seeing Mizuki leave without hesitation, Iruka shouted anxiously, but this still couldn't stop Mizuki from leaving.

He frowned, gritted his teeth, supported his body with strong willpower, and exhausted all his strength to chase Mizuki's running direction.

"Mizuki, I didn't expect to really say it..."

Hi Zhan saw everything that happened just now through the crystal ball.

He has heard all the conversations between Mizuki and Naruto.

However, no trace of the mastermind was found.

After all, the observation range of the crystal ball is limited, and it is impossible to present all the environments on site.

So, should we continue to let things go, or should we stop them immediately?

Stop it now, the man behind the scenes probably won't jump out on his own initiative, unable to catch the big fish behind Mizuki.

No matter how you say it, Mizuki's purpose is clearly revealed at this moment.

Not only is he yearning for the forbidden technique in the sealed book, but he is also coveting the power of Nine Tails.

The 'big fish' lurking behind Konoha has a high status.

But it also has to take the risk that Kyuubi might go berserk.

At a time like this, Hirazan can only hope that Naruto will be as straightforward as usual.

Moreover, this is also a temptation.

Test Naruto's attitude towards Konoha.

If it really doesn't work, then you can only take extreme measures.

Made up his mind, Ri Zhan decided to wait and see what happened, picked up the pipe and took a puff, and lightly tapped the ashtray twice.

The scene in the crystal ball has changed again.

Naruto lowered his head, panting behind a big tree.

He was already exhausted from practicing the spells in the Book of Seals. At this time, he couldn't run for a long time.

Just as he finished his rest and was about to set off again, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the open space among the trees, making Naruto's whole body stiff.

"Aren't you coming out yet? You don't really want me to remove your limbs and drag you away?"

Mizuki stared straight at the tree Naruto was hiding from, with a cold tone.

But I was actually a little confused.

Why hasn't the power of Nine Tails gone berserk yet?

Children's emotions are the most unstable, especially after hearing those things. According to the normal steps, the chakra of Nine Tails should have erupted long ago.

But why hasn't there been a change?

Is the willpower of this kid so strong? Do you still have a strong sense of identity with Konoha? Mizuki became irritable.

He thinks that Naruto should be like himself, after being abandoned by the upper class, take another path instead of continuing to identify with this decaying village.

Damn it! Naruto trembled all over, even though he had been discovered, he still tried his best not to make any sound.

But his aura is too obvious. For ninjas who are sensitive to battle, it is like telling the enemy that he is there.

Although Mizuki is not a jonin, but among the chunin, he also belongs to the stronger level.

A student who is not even a ninja can't escape his pursuit at all.

Seeing that Naruto didn't respond, Mizuki was a little disappointed.

This brat doesn't seem to be hostile to Konoha, which is a bit difficult.

If this task cannot be completed, the following plans will not be completed.

However, I heard that beating Jinchuriki half to death can also force out Chakra of the Tailed Beast, do you want to try it? Mizuki's eyes flickered, and he began to calculate in his heart.

When he was a little hesitant, there was a more intense panting sound from behind.

"Mizuki, I found you..."

Iruka appeared there, panting and staring at Mizuki's back with complicated eyes.

"Didn't I say, if you catch up, I won't show mercy to you anymore."

The wind blew Yang Mizuki's hair, his face was indifferent and terrifying.

"Then why did you let me go just now? Don't make any more mistakes, Mizuki, there is still time to turn around now. As long as you are willing to look back, Master Hokage will definitely let the past go."

Iruka looked at Mizuki's back seriously.

Mizuki sneered.

"Really? In your opinion, my previous behavior can be regarded as a companion's behavior again? I'm sorry, I gave you such an impossible fantasy. Since you want to die so much, I will help you."

Mizuki turned his head and sighed.

Still not working? Seeing Mizuki's determination, Iruka gritted his teeth secretly.

"One or two are like this. Is this kid so important to you? He is clearly the enemy who killed your parents. You don't have to give up your life for him."

Mizuki walked towards Iruka.

"Whether he is my enemy or not, it is impossible to give the sealed book to someone like you. Moreover, Naruto is not the kind of person you said."

Iruka's painful face showed a determined smile.

"But the people in the village think so. It's not me who drove him to a desperate situation, but the people in this village. I'm just telling the truth."

Mizuki frowned.

Then what should we do next?

Killing Iruka makes no sense at all.

His target is the Nine-Tails Chakra and the Sealed Book.

However, how can we provoke the power of Nine Tails?

Whether to continue bewitching, or to really **** the other party... The second option is full of unknown risks no matter how you look at it.

However, this is also the reason why the third generation has not done it immediately.

Because once Naruto chooses the path of being hostile to Konoha, even if Naruto has a special identity, he will be unceremoniously imprisoned by the third generation.

In terms of danger, the runaway Kyuubi is much more important than an insignificant Chunin like him.

Naruto's hesitant attitude also bought him a certain amount of time.

"You're right."

Hearing Mizuki's words, Iruka was silent for a while and said.

Hiding behind a tree, Naruto who was still hesitating whether to go out to rescue Iruka, immediately stiffened his body, feeling that something had punched him hard inside.

Ms. Iruka and Mr. Mizuki are actually the same person! Naruto was filled with hatred.

Dark emotions are constantly emerging in my heart.

Human nature is like this.

Selfishness.

No matter how nice it sounds on the surface, it seems that you are thinking of others, but in fact the ultimate goal is for yourself. This is human nature.

So, how about taking my power and destroying this village, kid?

Suddenly, a strange sentence arose from Naruto's heart.

Naruto was startled suddenly, and a chill ran down his back.

what sound?

Who is speaking?

Human beings are hypocritical, give your body to me, and I will kill all these hypocritical humans for you! As long as you give up yourself, I will be free again, this is the price of your revenge!

The voice sounded again, as if tempting Naruto, making him continue to fall in the darkness.

no! For some reason, Naruto rejected the bewitching voice in his heart like this.

Ugh...Damn it! This chakra feeling...

A certain existence in the darkness became a little suspicious.

I always feel that Naruto's Chakra has been seen somewhere in the past.

However, it didn't think too much.

Just a kid, there are still many opportunities to escape from the cage in the future.

Since the period of the first generation of Hokage, he has endured incomparable humiliation, and the past few years are not bad.

Just thinking that he has stayed in such a dark place for more than fifty years, it can't help but feel sad.

The first Hokage! Whirlpool Mito! Namikaze Minato! You bastards! The resentment in my heart burst out uncontrollably.

However, no matter how it roared, Naruto couldn't hear it.

"If Naruto was a demon fox, he would indeed take revenge on Konoha as you said."

Iruka spoke again, making Naruto look up and listen.

Although it was painful that even Iruka betrayed him, this pain is nothing compared to the fact that he knew it was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox before.

"However, Naruto is different, he is a student I recognize."

Hearing Iruka's words, Naruto felt that something was about to emerge from the depths of his heart, and he hugged the scroll in front of him tightly.

The fluctuation of chakra becomes stronger. Mizuki's attention was not on Iruka, no matter what Iruka wanted to express, he would not care.

But feeling the chakra overflowing from Naruto behind the tree, it became stronger and stronger. Mizuki was calm on the surface, but he was suspicious in his heart.

What's the matter with this kid?

Isn't it only when Jinchuriki is deeply in negative emotions that the chakra of the tailed beast will lose control and run wild?

Mizuki doubted the authenticity of this information.

No, no, this is not a rampage! Mizuki seemed to be denying something again, but he became more suspicious in his heart.

"Mizuki, if you see Naruto as a nine-tailed demon fox, then you are very wrong. He is Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha Ninja Village... not a nine-tailed demon fox! You better remember this!"

Iruka's words were sonorous and powerful, as if he was saying a fact that cannot be questioned.

The feeling of chakra agitation strengthened again.

Mizuki looked at Iruka in surprise, and then, as if to make sure of something, he took down the last huge shuriken left behind.

"Then you die with this belief!"

As he spoke, he let the huge shuriken spin in his hand, and the sharp blade made a sound of piercing through the air.

If it hits, it will definitely be a killing blow.

Iruka saw Mizuki, who seemed to be a little bit annoyed, coughed and smiled, but he didn't timidly meet him.

At least buy time for Naruto to escape!

boom!

Iruka, whose consciousness was somewhat blurred, suddenly opened his eyes.

What I saw was the scene where Mizuki was beaten into the air by Naruto who suddenly appeared.

"Naru... Naruto..."

Iruka didn't understand what was happening in front of him.

Mizuki's body rolled out, and the huge shuriken in his hand fell to the ground and was thrown into the distance.

After rolling a few times on the ground, Mizuki also patted the dust off his body and stood up.

Passing his sore cheek, Mizuki looked at Naruto who was no longer hiding, and said with a smile, "I see, I didn't expect such an interesting thing to happen."

If it was an ordinary Naruto, it would be absolutely impossible to make a fist of this strength.

Although the technique is very frustrating, the strength and speed have been significantly improved.

It must be the power of Nine Tails.

This is a big discovery.

Didn't the Nine-Tails Chakra in him go berserk because of deep negative emotions? Instead, he turned the Nine-Tails Chakra into his own use.

Is it Naruto's own feat, or is there another reason?

Mizuki doesn't want to pursue this reason anymore, and he can finally complete the task well.

I didn't expect Iruka to have this effect.

"You are not allowed to shoot Iruksensei! You scoundrel!"

Naruto said this in a fierce tone.

It is unbelievable that the evil and coldness entangled in his body have dissipated.

"Idiot! Run away, Naruto!"

Seeing Naruto jumping out to save him, Iruka was very grateful, but Naruto, who is not even a genin, could not beat Mizuki who is a chunin.

The sneak attack just now was only caused by Mizuki's carelessness.

Iruka's face twitched in pain as he shouted too fiercely, involving the wound on his body.

"Don't worry, Iruksensei, I will avenge you!"

Naruto said firmly.

After finishing speaking, Naruto began to seal.

Bang bang bang... The sound of smoke escaping was heard one after another. After the thick smoke cleared, Naruto emerged from the smoke one by one, looking at Mizuki with a ferocious expression.

One hundred, two hundred, maybe even more.

Seeing Naruto summoning so many clones, Mizuki was a little surprised.

This is the shadow clone technique, not the clone technique.

Strictly speaking, the avatar technique is just to create an illusory human body, which is just a technique used to deceive people, while the avatar summoned by the shadow avatar technique is an entity.

"Hey, you were frightened by my power, you were so arrogant just now, now I want you to pay back a hundred times and a thousand times!"

The scene where hundreds of Naruto shouted at the same time was so shocking that people's ears were a little out of order.

As for Mizuki who was surrounded, he stood still in a daze like a fool.

After finishing speaking, hundreds of Naruto rushed forward in no particular order and rushed towards Mizuki.

boom!

The clone that rushed to Mizuki's side first, vibrated for a moment, and then disappeared into smoke.

Naruto's body trembled, as if he had been stabbed by something just now.

Illusion.

Facing hundreds of clones, Mizuki really struggled to cope.

If there are hundreds of ordinary people, it is not impossible to win head-on.

However, Naruto has a certain ninja foundation, and he can easily deal with the Jnin, but he only has the strength of the Chunin, and it is too reluctant to confront him head-on.

Idiot, that **** is using props to absorb my chakra! Remove the spell and go immediately, I will share some of the mental backlash!

The roar of a wild beast sounded in Naruto's mind again.

Naruto froze.

This voice is so familiar, who is it?

The existence in the darkness was about to cry stupidly at Naruto's slow reaction.

It's okay to be sealed, but why is his Jinchuriki such an idiot?

Is this kid really the son of the guy who sealed him? Could it be that Uzumaki Kushina was inherited?

No, even Kushina Uzumaki was not so unresponsive when she was a child. On the contrary, her talents are also excellent, especially her ability to seal.

That despicable guy named Mizuki obviously wanted to stimulate Jinchuriki so as to better capture its chakra.

Those shadow clones were not broken up, but disappeared after being sucked dry of the tailed beast chakra.

But it dare not just withdraw Chakra.

Once Chakra is withdrawn, Naruto is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in the hands of others.

As a tailed beast, it can only stare here, unable to do anything.

"Die to me!"

A large number of Naruto rushed forward and surrounded Mizuki.

boom!

boom!

boom!

One after another, the avatars disappeared.

Mizuki was also sweating profusely, standing there panting, his arms a little sore.

Although the fighting moves are laymen, there are too many people.

Even this disorderly attack method is not an easy attack for Mizuki.

However, the overflowing Nine-Tails Chakra has been collected, and next, it's time to be 'arrested'. Seeing Naruto's clone swarming up again, Mizuki gritted his teeth and strenuously stepped forward to meet him.

Mizuki, who was buried in the crowd, was basically invisible, and the sound of being beaten by fists was heard continuously, which seemed to be mixed with painful muffled sounds.

Seeing Mizuki who was beaten miserably, his handsome face turned into a pig's face, and his body convulsed and fell to the ground, Naruto and the clones also stood around panting.

"This guy is so durable..."

However, why does the body always feel the pain of being pricked by needles?

Naruto scratched his head, forget it, it's not a big deal anyway.

"Has Mizuki been given up..."

Looking at Mizuki who was beaten by Naruto to the point of being unable to move in the crystal ball, Hizan frowned again.

I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong.

Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes really thought that with Mizuki, he could take away Konoha's sealed book and Nine Tails Jinchuriki?

However, for this matter, Ri Zhan can only let Anbu investigate afterwards.

Compared with Mizuki's matter, Naruto's transformation made him more satisfied.

Finally, he did not go astray.

Even Naruto's answer sheet exceeded his expectations.

During the viewing process, he also broke into a cold sweat, but fortunately, the result was not bad.

There is no uncontrollable bad situation.

"Let Kakashi and the others bring someone back."

Hiichi gave the order.

The incident was successfully completed.

Mizuki was taken back to the prison of the Ministry of Torture.

Before being sent to the Konoha torture room, the man behind the other party must be interrogated.

Because it was an urgent task, the people in the torture department worked overtime overnight.

Not only that, but also invited Yamanaka Kaiichi, the patriarch of the Yamanaka clan, to add a safety lock for the follow-up interrogation work.

"Anyway, it's a bit too much trouble this time."

Kaiichi Yamanaka came to Anbu's base, and walked forward side by side with the head of the Anbu Torture Department, Morino Ibiki.

The Torture Department is a logistics force belonging to the Anbu. Under normal circumstances, it is responsible for interrogating important prisoners and obtaining confidential information.

Although they belong to Anbu, they are often separated from Anbu's system and are directly supervised by Hokage.

Because they are not specialized combat troops, the ninjas in the Torture Department don't need to be powerful, they only need to be good at interrogation.

"No way, Hokage-sama seems to attach great importance to this, otherwise a guy like Mizuki would have been arrested and interrogated long ago."

Morino Ibi sighed happily.

Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's surprise attack on Hokage and the theft of the sealed book is unusual no matter how you look at it.

Those who were dispatched were kept in the dark, and those who really knew the truth knew that this was just a bureau arranged by Hokage-sama.

You can test the main messenger behind it, and you can also test whether Jinchuriki is loyal to Konoha.

"I heard from Kakashi that the man behind the scenes has never shown up. I hope to get some answers from Mizuki."

Go forward with Yibixi, and come to a sealed interrogation room, and there are two members of the torture team standing in front of the door.

"Minister Ibiki, Yamanaka Jonin."

Two members of the torture department saluted Yibixi and Hai.

"What is the condition of the prisoner?"

Yibixi asked.

"The other party has been keeping silent and unwilling to cooperate with us."

"Knew it would be like this. Open the door."

Ibixi ordered.

We can only let him and Hai Yi take action.

The information in Mizuki's mind is very important, and the people above also attach great importance to it, hoping to get all the answers they want before dawn tomorrow.

"yes."

Open the door of the interrogation room, and Yibixi and Haiyi enter it.

Entering the interrogation room, the two were stunned.

In the middle of the interrogation room, there is a restraint iron chair, and only the chain and the special binding tape that seals the chakra are left on the iron chair.

Other than that, there was no one there.

Yibixi stepped forward with a changed face, and found that there were obvious signs of corrosion on the broken chain.

"This is"

Hai looked serious.

Ibixi picked up the chain, sniffed the corroded part of the chain a few times, his face was gloomy.

"Oshemaru! You can't go wrong with this cold feeling!"

Isn't Chiba Shiraishi? Yamanaka Haiyi's heart trembled.

At first, he thought that the people behind Mizuki were manipulators from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

But now it seems that it is not Chiba Shiraishi who is manipulating this matter behind the scenes, but one of the three ninjas who rebelled against Ninja VillageOshemaru.

Hai once believed in Yibixi's judgment. The other party has worked in the torture department for so many years and has rich experience in this area, so it is absolutely impossible to make a wrong judgment.

"Really, I was busy paying attention to the kingdom of ghosts, but Orochimaru came in to intervene..."

These two guys, how many nails have been buried in the leaves. Hai Yi smiled wryly in his heart.

It seems that the torture department is about to start cleaning up.

It feels like the past few years have been spent cleaning up spies.

"This is half of Nine Tails Chakra."

Late at night, in the forest far away from Konoha Village.

The figure wrapped in a black coat took out a cylinder from the sleeve and put it in the hand of the person in front of him.

The opponent is wearing the same uniform as Konoha Anbe, but the mask on his face gives off a cold and oppressive atmosphere.

Root.

The root ninja weighed the weight of it, nodded and said: "Master Danzo is very satisfied with this matter. When you get to Orochimaru, you should understand how to do it?"

"Of course, I don't want to defect to Konoha, but I can't resist the third generation."

"It doesn't matter, Danzo-sama will rehabilitate you in the future."

Belongs to the ruling era of the Three Hokages, and will disappear completely.

Next, it is an important day for Gen to go on stage.

"By the way, this is what Danzo-sama gave to Orochimaru. You bring this to Orochimaru."

The root ninja took out a scroll and put it in the hands of the man in black.

The man in black took it without asking what it was, and put it directly into the ninja bag.

"Anything else?"

"No, you should leave as soon as possible, and don't forget to keep in touch regularly."

After finishing speaking, Genbu Ninja formed mudras with both hands, and his body disappeared in the air, unable to detect his presence.

Looking at the direction the root ninja was leaving, the man in black turned around.

The wind blew up the hood of the black coat, revealing his true face. It was Mizuki who escaped from the prison of the Torture Department with the help of his roots.

He looked at the road ahead and ran towards the north of the Fire Kingdom.

There is the direction of Tanokuni, the location of Yinyin Village.

And his arrangement is also very good, without any mistakes.

With the help of the triple identity of Konoha Ninja, Orochimaru and Genbu spy, he successfully concealed the fact that he was a spy of the ghost country.

You think so too, Mr. Shiraishi!

Thinking of this, Mizuki showed a sly smile on his face.

Afterwards, because of his smile, which involved the red and swollen wound on his face, he hissed and gasped.

Touched the twitching part of the cheek, the pain eased slightly.

"That nine-tailed brat is really ruthless, next time you have a chance, you have to pay him back!"
