Naruto

Bezantu, the site of the final decisive battle between the chief mages of the Torre Red Robe Mages and the Lich Regent Sazastan a hundred years ago, has now developed into a prosperous and lively port town.

As the largest foreign trade port in Torre, Bezantu is closer to a normal city than any other settlement in Torre. There are no zombies wandering around here, and there is no fog of death that devours life.

.Adventurers and merchants from all over Faerûn gather here, eager to gain their own wealth, fame and power in this world-famous mage country.

"What about them, mentor?" Naruto interrupted Terminser (Elminster disguise)'s introduction and pointed with his right hand at the row of towering spears on the right side of the road.

There is a naked prisoner hanging on each spear. The condensed blood clots coat the spears with a thick dark red coat. The tip of the spear penetrates the prisoners' anuses.

, passed through their abdominal and chest cavities, and finally emerged from the chest. All the prisoners were weak and lowered their heads, as if they were tortured by extreme pain and had no strength to even struggle or shout.

"In this land where sympathy, mercy and kindness are regarded as weaknesses, atrocities a hundred times crueler than this are performed every day." Teminser sighed silently.

Naruto moved his eyes away from the prisoner, looked up at the dark fortress on the skyline belonging to Bane, the god of tyranny, and slowly put on his gray hood, with a pair of bloody crosses on his

There was a flash in his eyes: "I can't really change their fate, but at least I can make them walk more peacefully."

A ray of holy light suddenly descended from the sky and sprinkled on the bodies of the tortured people. A child-like angel held a flute, flapped its white wings, and gently played a piece of ethereal music. All the tortured people

They all temporarily forgot their physical pain and listened to the moving sounds of nature intoxicated. Pedestrians passing by also stopped and watched this unprecedented spectacle.

"Who is challenging the majesty of the Lord of Darkness?"

Bane's black warriors and battle priests rushed to the scene quickly, and arrows, acid and evil energy formed a dense web and headed towards the angel playing the flute.

A scene that shocked Ben's waiters happened: the moment they were illuminated by the light, all attacks melted into nothingness like snow under the sun. A pure white flame suddenly ignited from the ground, burning away all the pain.

And the tired victims were embraced into his warm embrace.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never overcome it."

A dazzling light radiated from the angel's forehead, and the brilliant light accompanied this distant voice and spread through every corner of Bezantu City.

"Me, my eyes!"

Ben's waiters covered their faces in pain, and tears rolled down from their eyes involuntarily.

"May the deceased rest in peace, and may the living be liberated."

The light and the sound of the flute suddenly disappeared completely the moment the words fell. Where the prisoners were originally tortured, there were now only piles of white ashes. Beside the ashes, there were a group of Benn waiters covering their bodies.

Eyes, cursed again and again.

Naruto completely hid his face under the elongated shadow of his hood, facing the city

Walk slowly in the direction of the center:

"Let's go, don't forget that we still have business to do."

…

In the upper town of Bezantu, Teminser led three Konoha ninjas through dazzling clubs, bars and high-end brothels, and finally stopped at the door of a small hotel:

"This is where we will meet our contact tonight."

The hotel occupies a small area, with brightly colored murals painted on the white marble exterior walls. There is also a cross with a ring at the top hanging on the lintel of the door.

"Um……"

Naruto looked at the familiar symbol and fell into deep thought.

"This letter is called 'Ankh', which is the sacred emblem of Isis, the goddess of life in the Mulhorand pantheon. It is said that the owner of this hotel is a businessman from Mulhorand..."

Seeing the lost expression on his new apprentice's face, Minsel stopped talking and shook the latter's shoulders, "Hey, Naruto! What's wrong with you?"

Ankh, Isis...isn't this the goddess of life in ancient Egyptian mythology? Could it be...

Naruto took a deep breath and regained his composure: "The Mulhorlanders are not natives of Faerûn, right, mentor?"

As a human being who has lived for more than a thousand years, Naruto's gaffe just now was clearly seen by Teminser. He gently stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "You guessed it right.

The ancestors of the current Mulhorandians were slaves plundered from a planet called Earth five thousand years ago by the ancient Imaskar Empire."

Naruto's heart contracted suddenly, and his face suddenly turned red due to the uncontrollable excitement. A knowing smile flashed across Sasuke's face, while Bingwei scratched his head in confusion: "

Earth? Our hometown is also called Earth, but I seem to have never heard of this place in history class..."

Teminsel noticed the apprentice's abnormal behavior, opened the pocket watch he carried with him, and said considerately: "Well... it's one o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still eleven hours before the meeting time. I can use the magic weapon later.

World Gate will take you to visit that world. How about it? Are you interested?"

"Well..." Naruto bit his tongue and used the pain to force himself to calm down again. He was about to refuse the invitation on the grounds of "mission first", but unexpectedly, Sasuke, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.

:"have."

"Then it's settled. Take the money and go to the front desk to book a room, Naruto, and leave the rest to me." Teminsel took out a platinum coin from his wallet.

He tossed the coin to his apprentice casually, with a meaning that could not be refuted.

Naruto held the platinum coin firmly between his index and middle fingers, bit his lip, and answered one word obediently:

"yes."

Sasuke looked at Naruto's retreating back, with an inexplicable curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior, does that world have any special meaning to you? Why was the captain so rude just now?" Bingwei walked up to Sasuke and asked curiously.

"Because..." Sasuke suddenly stopped, crossed his arms, and chuckled, "Oh, forget it, I don't want to be this evil person, I will let that guy do it for you later."

Explain."

Half an hour later, Naruto sat on the soft sofa and said calmly: "This is everything I experienced before being reincarnated into the ninja world."

Bingwei sat next to Naruto and asked cautiously: "Then... Captain, do you have any bonds in that world that you can't break?"

"Oh, since my maternal grandparents passed away, I have no relatives in that world. As for the so-called 'friends', there are many people I can talk to, but probably none of them will react after hearing the news of my death.

I shed tears." Naruto looked up at the unique magic chandelier on the ceiling, "But I would like to see how that little girl is doing now."

"Since you have such a wish, then just go back and have a look. Not everyone can encounter such an opportunity." Elminster, who had restored his original shape, had already set up an anti-detection array on the ground.

, turned around and waved to everyone, "Come on, boys, the exciting adventure is about to begin!"

Naruto, Sasuke and Bingwei walked to the position designated by the old mage, held their breath, watched the latter's fingers flying in the air, and recited a mysterious mantra:

"Axi'd?ès pour vendict."

With the violent vibration of the magic net, a disc vertical to the ground instantly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The other end of the disc was connected to a gloomy sky, and the gentle drizzle penetrated through the door to the otherworld and wetted the house.

Silk carpet.

…

It's another drizzly and hazy day.

This year's rainy season is longer than in previous years, and the continuous drizzle has not stopped since May. I don't know if it is because it has been washed by the rain, but the jasmine flowers on the mountains are blooming extraordinarily beautifully today, as if the world is full of love.

My last attempt to save you.

But it's already too late.

The girl placed the flowers in her hand in front of a low tomb, and brushed the tombstone with her trembling right hand. The thin figure stained with blood under the truck tire appeared in front of her again.

Brother Qibo, the girl you sacrificed your life to save is now like a deserter, completely abandoning her hard-won life.

Forgive me.

The girl slowly knelt down in the mud in front of the tombstone, and the cold rain and tears silently flowed across her face.

Forgive me.

I really don't have the strength to continue walking.

The girl took out the glass bottle that had been hidden in her arms and looked at the pile of crystal clear white powder inside with tearful eyes.

At least you won't be alone on this deserted mountain anymore.

The girl bit open the wooden bottle stopper with her teeth, raised her head and poured all the potassium cyanide, which was more than 40 times the maximum lethal dose, into her mouth.

A strong sense of stimulation centered on the girl's throat and spread throughout her body. She dropped the glass bottle in her hand, put her hands on the ground, and violently retched, even vomiting out the gastric juice in her abdomen.

"Ugh... cough cough!"

Then she felt a tightness in her chest, and her body arched backwards involuntarily. Then the girl's consciousness gradually began to fade, and the last sentence kept echoing in her mind:

I'm here to accompany you.
