Chapter 637 Ghoul

Uchiha exterminated the family.

Itachi is the blade in the hands of others, and the mastermind behind the scenes is the village's senior management.

Such thoughts, until Naruto walked home in a daze, still lingered in his mind.

The oppressive air made his heart constrict, as if he was being held tightly by someone's palm, making him unable to breathe smoothly.

"Is this what Sasuke...is carrying on his body? So everything...is this the case? If I had been earlier..."

earlier?

earlier what?

Knowing this earlier, what can I change?

Naruto asked himself.

The idea of resolutely bringing Sasuke back to Konoha can no longer be uttered from his mouth.

At that time, Sasuke had the idea of leaving Konoha firmly, so he deviated from the road of the village.

His enemy is not only Itachi, Konoha's top management is also the target of his revenge.

Including his respected and loved, but somewhat resentful, late grandfather of the third generationHizaru Sarutobi.

Naruto's body seemed to have been drained of all his strength, his back was leaning against the sofa, his head was slightly raised upwards, and his blue eyes were absent-mindedly staring at the unturned electric lights on the ceiling.

Under dusk, the light in the living room seemed a little dark.

It doesn't matter what the windows are. The north wind howling in makes the huge living room full of biting chill.

But what is colder than this north wind is Naruto's heart at this time.

Rather than saying that he was in a state of confusion, it would be better to say that his mind was blank.

The village that looks peaceful on the outside is actually not glamorous.

Under the calm surface of the lake, there is a frightening black undercurrent, rampant in the uninhabited part of the village.

At this time, Naruto suddenly realized that this village was different from the one he knew at the beginning.

It's not that the village itself has changed, but that the village has been like this since he became sensible.

It's just that he only realized this truth now.

At this moment, Naruto wants to let go of his mind without thinking about anything, at least doing so can make him feel better.

The sound of ticking water spread to the ears through the air.

The moist coolness soaked the soles of his feet.

Naruto was eroded by the coolness, and instantly woke up.

Looking at the dim space around, the dark yellow light floods this secluded land, making the water soaked in the soles of the feet also full of dark yellow decay.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar quiet space, Naruto suddenly understood where it was.

The sealed space in your body.

The place where the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was imprisoned.

He raised his head, and as expected, he saw the dark depths, and two orange-red pupils bigger than a lantern lit up, emitting a light source in the dark, luring people to approach.

Even if I feel that such a scene is too scary, I still can't help being attracted to such a scene.

The more ferocious it is, the more fascinating it is.

Naruto is feeling like this right now.

As if the body and mind were attracted by this terrifying sense of horror, the body involuntarily walked towards the cage where Kyuubi was imprisoned.

On the huge red wooden door, there is a piece of talisman paper bigger than a human hand.

An orange-red fox wagging its tail like nine pythons was squatting on the edge of the cage, staring straight at Naruto through the gap in the railing of the red wooden door.

The split mouth, revealing the white teeth, and the curved black lips, are not only terrifying, but also full of cunning and insidious.

"Little ghost, you are here again."

Like a familiar old friend, Kyuubi's tone is full of peace at this moment, like a kind and kind old man, not a fierce beast that symbolizes natural disasters.

Naruto walked to the edge of the cage, staring blankly at Kyuubi in the cage.

Even though it was not the first time I saw it, I was still surprised by the huge size of Kyuubi.

Through the perception of what seems to be nothing, the chakra overflowing from the Nine Tails, seemingly peaceful, is full of maddening and painful darkness.

A throbbing feeling came.

This chakra is affecting one's consciousness.

Naruto took a step back in vigilance, quickly left the edge of the cage, pushed it to a place three meters away, and glared at Kyuubi with hostile eyes.

This fox is manipulating his own consciousness through the darkness of the human heart!

"cut."

Kyuubi clicked his lips unhappily when he saw Naruto woke up and backed away.

An ant-like imp, in such a strong darkness, was able to get rid of his chakra's control.

Although he is not as good as the group of ancient monsters in terms of seducing people's hearts.

But his chakra, which carries infinite darkness, also has the ability to arouse the darkness in people's hearts to expand for human beings.

"Why should you reject the old man's power? As long as you become one with the old man, the world is so big, you can go anywhere. You don't have to bear the loss of your loved one, and you are powerless to change all the pain. Even your best friend and mentor who has passed away, under this absolute power, will bow to you. As long as you walk in, you can easily get it all. Why are you still hesitating?"

Kyuubi's words seemed to speak of a sore spot in Naruto's heart, making the expression on his face full of annoyance and distortion, and his heart was bearing extremely painful struggles and choices.

"I will live and die with you, believe me, I will not harm you. As long as you and I work together, we can change everything that doesn't go your way. Isn't this what you have been looking forward to? Otherwise, how many years will it take you to do it by yourself? Maybe you won't be able to fulfill your long-cherished wish in your whole life. But now... you only need to nod slightly to agree..."

Naruto stared blankly at Kyuubi, the pain on his face was gone, and he was attracted by Kyuubi's chakra again.

That's right, as long as you master this huge chakra, you can do anything in the world.

Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura, all will come back.

As long as he has power, the kingdom of ghosts can't stop him...

Among Konoha, no one can stop him from becoming Hokage...

All you need to do is accept all of this, tear off this spell, and let yourself become one with Nine Tails...

Everything, all, all the troubles will disappear in an instant.

This is exactly what I dreamed of!

"Come here, Naruto. Come to this old man. In this world, only this old man will treat you seriously. Konoha's people are too hypocritical, they don't tell you anything, and let you live in a false and beautiful world. Even your friend named Shikamaru, what he said to you before was to win your sympathy and use your remaining value to pave the way for his future. You should understand that the will of fire that you firmly believe is nothing but self-deceiving lies."

"I"

Naruto opened his mouth wide, his body trembled, and walked towards the cage again involuntarily, approaching the charm of the wooden door, and stretched out his hand.

Ah.

What a young brat.

Kyuubi smiled happily.

Because of Naruto's actions, the tail behind him is shaking more cheerfully.

The radian of the corner of the mouth also splits bigger.

"Come on, break this seal, Naruto. We are one."

Under Kyuubi's seductive words, Naruto's palm touched the spell.

In Jiuwei's eyes, this spell was like a mountain pressing on him, motionless.

But in Naruto's hands, it described a thin piece of paper, and it was completely effortless to tear it apart.

However, just as Naruto uncovered a corner of the talisman, a hand slammed from the depths of the rippling space, and grabbed Naruto's wrist with a palm, preventing him from further unveiling the sealing talisman.

Kyuubi's orange-red eyes widened, his canthus tearing apart, and when he saw the person who suddenly appeared here, his ferocious pupils were filled with fury and boundless hatred.

"Fourth Hokage"

"Shut up, Nine Tails!"

The gentle but majestic words, with unparalleled power, resounded in this space.

boom!

Nine-Tails' mouth was firmly closed, and the strong binding force oppressed its body that was as big as a small mountain, making it unable to draw any strength from its whole body at this moment.

Even the chakras that overflowed with dark will were all withdrawn into the sealed cage.

Nine Tails grinned painfully, staring at the figure in front of him.

It is also one of the few people it hates the most in its life!

"Eh?"

Naruto seemed to wake up from a dream, seeing that he was so close to Nine-Tails' cage, and stretched out his palm on the talisman to uncover a corner, and suddenly he was frightened into cold sweat on his forehead.

There is only one last step left, and I am about to release this demon fox.

Naruto knew that if things really got to that point, he would definitely become the shape of Nine Tails from the inside out, and become a puppet controlled by him.

That is definitely not what I hope to become.

Fortunately, it was stopped by someone.

"Well, thank you so much, if you hadn't stopped me just now..."

Naruto turned his head and thanked those who prevented him from breaking the seal.

However, after seeing the appearance and figure of the person beside him clearly, he was stunned again, his throat rolled, and he couldn't continue speaking halfway through.

"You...you are..."

Wearing Hokage's imperial robe.

Inside is Konoha's jonin uniform, a young man with yellow hair who is too young, just standing in front of him majestically, showing a gentle smile to himself.

From the other person's hair and eyebrows, you can vaguely see some of your own appearance.

The identity of the other party is also ready to be revealedthe Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, is also his biological father!

"It's my first time meeting... No, it's been a long time, Naruto. The last time I met you was when you were just born."

Minato gestured at the shape and size, and smiled at Naruto with a touch of sadness.

Naruto stood there blankly, unable to speak a word.

"Naruto, I..."

Before he finished speaking, a blow of punches struck.

Hit Minato's stomach hard, making Minato's stomach churn with bitter water, his face was slightly distorted by the pain from the fist, and he coughed violently.

"You bastard! Why did you put this thing in my body! Do you know what you did to your son?"

With the thought of wanting to beat the man in front of him to death, Naruto punched Minato **** the stomach again, and finally vented some of his anger.

But this is not enough.

Thanks to the man in front of me, I have been stared at by countless people over the years.

Such discrimination and prejudice did not ease a little until his identity as the Son of Naruto was exposed.

But even so, the various injustices he received in the past still made him feel stuck in his throat.

However, the person who caused all this to happen is dead, and it is his father.

No matter how much resentment there is, there is nowhere to vent it.

Now seeing the other party again, no matter what the other party intends to justify, Naruto just wants to punch the other party twice first, to vent his inner anger.

Letting Naruto beat his father and son with his fists, Minato just endured it silently, watching the expression of venting anger, with faint tears, guilt and sighs welling up in his heart.

"Sorry... By the way, how old are you, Naruto?"

"fourteen"

Naruto who stopped beating, the resentment and grievance on his face have not been completely vented.

"Is it fourteen? It really is a blink of an eye. But for you, these years are like years. I know that even if I apologize to you as a father, it will not be able to make up for these wounds in your heart."

Minato sighed.

Naruto held back his tears and didn't cry loudly.

After all, I am no longer a child, and I don't want others to see my weak side.

"It was because I wasn't considerate enough at the time. If I had been able to add some political chips in the position of Hokage, the third generation would not have compromised Danzo in this matter and made these articles on you."

In the final analysis, he, the fourth-generation Hokage, died like a lamp. No matter how talented he is, a dead person is a dead person.

And a dead Hokage, no matter what, is no match for a living root leader in terms of influence.

That's why Naruto will be used by all parties, but no one dares to intervene.

"What's the meaning?"

Naruto wiped the tears off his face and asked inexplicably.

"Because the identity of Renzhuli is the most important thing, and the people who can know the existence of Renzhuli should be only a very small number of people including the high-level people in the village. In the end, everyone knew about it because you were forced to get involved in the political struggle among the village's high-level people. After all, I never imagined that they would use even a newborn baby to the end in order to fight for power and profit."

Minato's eyes were a little sad.

He used to be full of enthusiasm for the village of Konoha.

But within a year of becoming Hokage, he really realized how harsh the darkness inside this village is.

The connivance of the third generation, the dark forces of Danzo, the inaction of the advisors, the blind struggle of the Uchiha radical forces...had made Konoha at that time full of holes.

Even so, he still had good expectations and planned to bring everything in this village back on track.

Unfortunately, the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.

With his death, everything returned to the original track.

Also because of the loss of his existence, Konoha not only has internal troubles, but also very serious external troubles.

The exposure of Naruto's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki identity is only an insignificant part of the political European certificate.

In that invisible dark place, Konoha's own people are also making all kinds of **** storms, further consuming the potential of the village.

Naruto lowered his head slightly after listening to these words.

With the experience of this period of time, he can more or less understand the meaning of Minato's words.

Then, he raised his head again, looked at Minato and asked, "Then why did you seal the Nine-Tails in me again, Dad?"

Hearing Naruto calling himself 'Dad', the smile on Minato's face became softer and more guilty, and he said to Naruto: "The situation at that time was a bit complicated. There were some considerations from me, and there were also reasons from your mother..."

"What's the meaning?"

"Originally, your mother planned to die with Kyuubi at the time... But in that case, the village would definitely lose Kyuubi's power, which would be detrimental to the external environment of the village. In addition, I have a deep relationship with your mother, and I don't want her to die alone. Due to various complicated reasons, I decided to use the forbidden technique of 'Ghost Sealing', sacrifice myself, and divide Kyuubi into two and seal them. But in that way, there is still a problem."

"Problem? What is the problem?"

"That is, the cultivation of jinchuriki takes time and energy, and it is also an important lesson for how to get along with tailed beasts. Your mother was guided by Mito-sama himself, so there is no serious problem. But under the circumstances that both your mother and I have sacrificed, it is very difficult for you to complete the taming of tailed beasts alone."

"Indeed... the power of this fox is difficult to control."

Naruto nodded heavily.

Have also dealt with Kyuubi a lot, and Naruto knows how difficult it is to control Kyuubi's power.

While gaining great power, it also means that Kyuubi in turn controls him as the 'owner' and becomes the dominant one.

"Yes, but don't worry now. The reason why I chose to seal off the ghouls at that time was actually because I considered this situation to happen. Therefore, I continued to survive in your body in this state. First, it can protect you through the weak stage. Second, when you control the power of the nine tails, I wish you a helping hand and successfully master the power of the nine tails."

Minato said with a smile.

"This state? Speaking of which, Dad, your state is..."

Naruto looked at Minato carefully, showing doubts.

"Spirit... can also be said to be the state of the soul."

"Then this is..."

Naruto found something and walked behind Minato.

From the endless darkness, a pitch-black chain appeared, connected to the back of the water gate.

On the pitch-black chains like a python, there are a large number of talisman papers smeared with black spells.

But when Naruto touched it, his palm passed through the chain and the talisman, which surprised him.

"This... is the chain connecting the **** of death, and only those who have signed a contract with the **** of death can touch it..."

While Minato was speaking, his complexion suddenly changed, and his body turned into a golden light, which disappeared amidst Naruto's stunned expression.

"The order of the Indian style is...Si, Hai, Wei, Mao, Xu, Zi, You, Wu, Si."

Sealed in this order, Shiraishi stood in the empty room, and a cold wind passed behind him.

A tall white ghost figure floated behind him.

Purple-brown skin, with two horns on the head, holding a black rosary, and holding a soul-cutting dagger in his mouth.

A ferocious gesture like a ghost.

Words like death immediately came to mind.

Baishi turned around, put down his sealed hands, slowly turned his head, stared blankly at the white ghost for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth:

"Is this the Grim Reaper summoned by the dead ghost? It looks quite temperamental."

joked about the ghost in front of him like this, but the white **** of death didn't respond to it. His gaze was not right, but it didn't seem to have the emotional fluctuations that creatures should have.

Therefore, it neither looks like a living thing nor a dead thing, but it is Baishi's most comprehensive image recognition of this existence named 'Reaper'.

"Liuli, I will entrust you to take care of my body. I have some things to go in and confirm, it may take a while."

Liuli, standing not far from Baishi, nodded slightly.

"So... let's get started."

Baishi's eyes fell on the white **** of death again.

Intense light emerged from Baishi's body, turned into a dazzling beam of light in the blink of an eye, and flew towards the body of Death in an action that violated common sense.

As this intense ray of light rushed into the body, the white clothes on Reaper's body rose up without any wind, as if they had also encountered a huge energy impact, causing Reaper's spiritual body to become unstable.

The beam of light penetrated the boundless darkness, and when it reached a pale space, it slowly converged into a human shape, turning into a white stone, standing at the boundary between the pale space and the dark space, becoming the dividing line between black and white.

Baishi glanced around, and in this space without quality and sense of direction, he instantly identified his goal, crossed the darkness, and walked into the pale world.

When the figure completely enters the pale world, the darkness behind it disappears like a phantom, as if it never existed.

"The way back seems to be blocked... What a stingy guy."

Glanced at the pale world, Baishi couldn't sense the direction of the road when he came, so he knew that the passage was blocked by the **** of death.

The more you walk forward, the stronger the sense of oppression in the air.

Baishi knew that this was just a psychological effect.

The purpose is to destroy the spirit body of the intruder, so that the soul of the intruder will ferry here forever and cannot escape.

The weaker the spirit body, the stronger the restriction.

Baishi ignored this soul coercion, and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

Soon, in the pale and empty world, the outlines of objects appeared.

Those are the crosses erected on the pale ground.

The black chains covered with talisman paper fixed blue-green spiritual bodies on the cross like binding death row prisoners, making them suffer from pain and suffering, and let out roars that did not resemble human voices.

Like wild beasts out of control.

In this world that does not feel the sense of time and space, endless torture.

"It seems that there are not a few ninjas who have used this technique in the past."

Through perception, every spirit body bound on the cross has very strong soul power.

There are individual spirits with the soul power, who can even maintain their rationality in life, and show Baishi a painful expression like asking for help, hoping that Baishi can pull them away, so that they can be relieved from the boundless pain and regain their freedom.

No matter what kind of thoughts these spirits had when they performed this technique or were captured by this technique, there is only one thought in their hearts at this momentthat is regret.

Death is just a moment.

But if you hand over the power after your death to the **** of death, then the pain that the **** of death brings to them will stretch to the end of time and space, and will not stop.

Ignoring these beseeching gazes, Shiraishi came to one of the crosses.

Different from the other crosses, this one has two black chains wrapped around it, but there is no one on it.

The pitch-black chain extended into the shadow behind the cross, and it was unknown where it was connected.

Two **** names are engraved on the cross.

was carved with soul power.

Nafeng Minato.

Uzumaki Kushina.

Shiraishi remembered that Uzumaki Kushina was not the caster of Ghoul Seal, nor was he captured.

But her name still appeared on this cross.

also left her own soul power.

"Interesting... Is it based on the original contract, and then signed a second contract with Death? But, to restore freedom during the contract period, what is the price the operator has to pay?"

Thinking of this, Shiraishi approached the cross, stretched out his hand, and touched the two names on the cross.

um.

The air vibrates.

A white ghost suddenly floated behind Shiraishi.

The dagger originally contained in the mouth of the **** of death has appeared in the hand wrapped around the rosary, aiming directly at Shiraishi's back.

It seemed that Baishi's act of touching the name on the cross violated the prohibition rules in its contract.
