Naruto

In the underground laboratory of the Heart of Spells, Sasuke, Bingwei, and Kyuubi, who had shrunk to the height of a person, were surrounding a black obelisk, silently watching the old mage Elminster draw complicated

Mysterious spell-casting gestures.

"Pruto a'sho!"

A black crack appeared out of thin air above the obelisk, exuding a strange aura.

"Da'n."

A bright purple halo lit up at the top of the obelisk. Under the purple light, the crack gradually expanded outward until it finally opened into a hole that could accommodate one person.

"Have you really thought about it?" Elminster asked with a worried look, "Even if your eye skills can temporarily save your minds, you still have to find someone in that space full of madness.

Soul, also..."

...almost impossible

"We have a reason why we have to go, Master Il." Bingwei put the Konoha forehead protector that he had not used for a long time on his forehead, "We cannot let the captain's soul be in an indescribable crazy space.

Wandering in it forever.”

"Ku Lama, you focus on exploring Naruto's soul. Bingwei and I will be responsible for killing every creature that dares to get close to you." Sasuke's strange purple eyes flashed with cold light, and he paid no attention to the old mage's worried words.

.

"I know." Kyuubi's deep voice contained a trace of unshakable determination.

"Then..." Just as the old mage was about to speak, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the crack, passed through the purple halo at the top of the obelisk, and rushed straight towards Sasuke. Sasuke dodged and avoided the shadow.

A group of incoming black shadows hit the laboratory's special metal floor, making a loud noise.

"Bang!"

Everyone took a closer look and saw seven small balls with a metallic luster jumping around the impact point, and a bunch of strange-looking tentacles crawling on the ground, constantly squirming.

"Amaterasu!"

"Wind Release? Rasengan!"

"Thunder Blade!"

"Missile Storm!"

Sasuke, Kyuubi, Bingwei and the old mage all launched tentative attacks in unison: black flames, rotating chakra balls, shining sword light and dense barrage, instantly fell on the pile of strange monsters.

On the balls and tentacles.

In the face of these attacks, the tentacles retracted back to the ground with a "swish" sound, and the small balls, after absorbing all the attacks, flew into the air, flying everywhere while letting out a horrified cry:

"Ahhhh——! Help——!"

This familiar voice made everyone present stunned for a moment.

"Team...Captain?" the boy holding the knife called in disbelief.

One of the small balls floated in front of Bingwei, rubbed it on the back of the hand holding the ninja sword, and let out an excited shout:

"Thank God, you finally recognized me, Bingwei!"

Bingwei looked at the seemingly harmless little ball on the back of his hand, plucked up the courage and touched its glowing surface.

The feel of this small ball is extremely good, it feels like a piece of polished jade, with a refreshing feeling in the smoothness.

"Kiu...Kyuubi-sama, senior, you are more familiar with the captain, this is..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the shocked faces of Sasuke and Kyuubi.

"Sasuke...your eyes..."

Another small ball floated in front of Sasuke, and his strange pair of growth ring-shaped pupils were reflected on the surface of the ball. A tentacle stretched out from the bottom of the small ball, gently rubbing the latter's stiff cheek.

"...I must have made you feel uncomfortable for a long time. I'm sorry."

At this time, the old mage finally breathed a sigh of relief, and drew a few gestures with his right hand to close the man-made crack again.

"Why are you acting like this?" Kyuubi finally got rid of the shock, stretched out his front paws, pressed a lively little ball to the ground, and asked viciously.

The small ball shook slightly and easily broke away from Nine-Tails' front paws. The seven small balls floated into the air and quickly rotated around a common center. A hidden mental wave swept through everyone present (fox) in an instant.

The brain directly projected everything Naruto experienced during this period into their consciousness.

"I didn't expect that there would be a greater being in this world than the god AO." The old mage sighed softly, not knowing whether he should feel sad or excited about this.

"Those damn bubbles not only killed your body, but also tortured your soul?" Kyuubi let out an angry growl from his throat.

"Everything is over, Nine Lama." The voice from the little ball contained a soothing power, "If I have the chance to live to see you escape from that cage, I will be happy to bear no matter what pain it is.

"

Only this idiot could say such stupid things.

Jiuwei moved his nose and snorted: "Whatever you want."

"You..." Sasuke thought for a while and said softly, "How do you feel now?"

"Great." Although there was no expression on the ball, Sasuke still felt a kind gaze focused on him, "But I still miss my T-shirt. That's a lustful immortal."

The first piece of clothing I personally picked for me was burned like this, woo woo woo..."

Hey, is this what you care about most right now?

"What clothes should I wear with a bunch of bubbles and tentacles?" After confirming that Naruto's mental state was okay, Sasuke immediately started his daily venomous tongue mode.

"Ouch!" A whine suddenly came out from the beating ball, "You...you hurt my heart, Yu

Chiha Sasuke! You have to be responsible for me!"

"Amaterasu!"

"Ahhhhh——! Help——!"

In the next two minutes, Bingwei, the old mage and Kyuubi watched with blank expressions as the seven small balls were chased by the black flame spear and flew all over the room. They felt no fluctuation in their hearts and even felt like laughing.

.

"Hey, Captain, I have something serious to ask you." Bingwei waved at the seven balls, and then he saw the balls suddenly stopped, like a greedy whale, taking all the balls.

The black flame was absorbed completely and circled around his body:

"What's the matter?"

Bingwei felt a familiar gaze. He forced himself to calm down, cleared his throat, and asked:

"Those ninjutsu you mastered before...how many can you use now?"

"Ah... that's a good question." The little balls gathered in the center of the laboratory, with uncertain lights flashing on the surface, "You have to understand that I am no longer a human being, Bingwei. I don't even have

A real body, these little balls in front of you are just the embodiment of my spiritual power in this world."

"This means... Captain, you can no longer refine chakra?" Bingwei quickly grasped the point.

"That's right. Chakra is a harmonious mixture of physical energy and mental energy. I don't have a real body now, so naturally I can't extract chakra." A trace of low mood naturally showed up from the small ball, infecting everyone present.

of all people.

"Every loss must be a gain. The omniscient and omnipotent god who went to such great lengths to take away your body must have given you some other abilities." Sasuke's tone contained a hint of comfort.

"You will slowly see it later." The ball slowly landed on the ground and merged into a ball of colorful colloid. Then it began to deform, and soon turned into the familiar figure in orange and black.

A blond boy wearing a coat and a Konoha forehead protector.

"Haha, hello everyone, I, Naruto Uzumaki, am back again!"

Naruto raised his right thumb and grinned.

"team leader!"

Bingwei rushed to Naruto's eyes and hugged him in his arms.

Naruto felt that the shoulders of his coat were instantly wet with the boy's tears.

"It's okay..."

He rubbed Bingwei's short hair and said softly.

Bingwei did not occupy Naruto for too long, but after ten seconds, he broke away from Naruto's arms, with a tearful smile on his face: "Sasuke-senpai and Kyuubi-sama also have something to say to you,

team leader."

The next person to meet Naruto was Sasuke. The black-haired boy approached Naruto and stared at his face expressionlessly.

Naruto felt a little guilty when he was stared at by the latter's reincarnation eyes, scratched his head and said with a dry smile:

"Haha, this time I don't... uh!"

However, he was only halfway through his words when he suddenly turned into a miserable groan. Sasuke punched Naruto in the abdomen mercilessly, and when the latter lost his balance and was about to fall, he hugged him tightly.

He grabbed his neck, bit his ear and said:

"Idiot crane tail...don't be so stupid again."

There was an undeniable tyranny and a hint of bloody madness in the young man's almost gibbering words.

Suddenly a long tentacle stretched out from Naruto's throat, gently licking Sasuke's cheek.

"I promise."

…

"How does it feel to be free?" Naruto asked Kyuubi with a smile.

"It's too bad. There's not even a clean place where I can sleep peacefully." Kyuubi snorted softly through his nose.

"After I go back this time, I will release your other half and your father's soul from the stomach of the god of death. It's time." Naruto stroked the soft fur skillfully and said softly.

"What are you going to do?" Kyuubi raised his head and asked curiously.

"I will use a tempting bargaining chip in exchange for your souls." Naruto said confidently, "The God of Death will definitely not refuse."

"ha?"

"Well, or I tear his soul into pieces. I believe he will make a wise choice."

"..." Kyuubi raised his eyelids, dismissing the harsh words uttered by the young man.

"...Then you will be completely free." Naruto hesitated for a while and said hesitantly, "No...but from my personal point of view, I still hope that you can stay in Konoha and stay with me."

Kyuubi was secretly happy in his heart, but said lazily on his face: "Since you sincerely begged me, I will mercifully agree. Don't get me wrong, I just see that no one wants you now, so I just want to pity you."

Everyone present rolled their eyes at the same time.

…

"I'm glad you're safe, kid." The old mage Elminster looked at the blond boy walking towards him and said kindly, "Don't worry, the little girl named Zhu Yumo is on the ground now.

Receive systematic magic training."

"Thank you for taking care of her for me, Tutor Il." Naruto actually "saw" the girl holding a book "First Interpretation of Arcana" and studying hard as soon as she arrived, "Also, I'm sorry for delaying you.

The meeting with Master Serana was originally scheduled for midnight yesterday."

Serana is the name of their liaison within the Red Mage Association. Obviously not all mages like their country to be controlled by a group of vampires and lichs.

"Oh, don't worry about this. We have already met with the help of astral projection. Serana told us a lot of news about the current situation in Sazastan." Elminster put away the smile on his face.

, said solemnly, "The old lich's ultimate goal is to open a two-way passage connecting the Shadow Realm of Death and the Main Material Plane."

"The Shadow Realm of Death is now facing erosion from outside the territory. If such erosion spreads to the main material plane, the entire universe will completely fall under the rule of the terrifying truth from outside the territory. At that point, even gods above gods

There is nothing AO can do to save it.”

Elminster looked at his apprentice thoughtfully: "How do you know this, Naruto? Did the omniscient and omnipotent god tell you?"

Naruto laughed out loud at his mentor's guess: "Haha, if that were true, we wouldn't be in such a big trouble. No, I can directly 'see' the current situation in the Shadow World.

arrived, and what follows are all my preliminary inferences about the future development of events."

Elminster nodded slightly: "Then what suggestions do you have for our next move?"

"Mage Serana must have provided some way to sneak into Sazastan's lair, right? My intuition tells me that the lich may be the culprit behind this change."

Naruto's body suddenly disintegrated and turned into seven small balls again. A silver ribbon strung all the small balls into a beautiful pendant and put it around Kyuubi's neck.

"Hey...hey, what do you mean?" Kyuubi pulled hard on the necklace that was inexplicably wrapped around his neck and asked loudly.

"Ha——!" A long yawn came from the motionless ball, "I still need some time to adapt to my new abilities. In order to ensure your life safety during this period, I will

I will always follow you in this form. Don’t worry, I won’t interfere with your freedom of movement unless necessary.”

"I, the Nine-Tailed Nine Lama, don't need anyone's protection!" Nine-Tails let out a deep roar.

"This is the oath I made when I was a human. You have never objected before, right?" Naruto persuaded patiently, "If there is anything wrong with you, I will never be able to forgive you in this life.

Myself. Don’t forget, we are not in the ninja world now, and you can’t be resurrected here casually.”

"...Forget it." A humanized "I've been defeated by you" expression appeared on Jiuwei's fox face, "But I won't be able to act with them in the future. My... appearance characteristics are really...

It’s too conspicuous.”

"It's a trivial matter! Just wait."

A dazzling and pure light lit up from the pendant and enveloped the Kyuubi's body. After the light dissipated, everyone saw where the Kyuubi was originally. From the appearance to the clothes to the forehead protector, standing there was a person who was the same as Naruto.

Almost the same boy.

The only three differences are his short dark red hair, blood-like eyes and the extra seven-pointed star amulet made of sapphire on his chest.

"Hm. Not bad." Sasuke found that even his samsara eye couldn't see through this transformation technique, so he nodded and praised.

"Wow!" Bingwei rubbed his eyes vigorously, "Looks like he is the captain's brother!"

The boy, no, Kyuubi didn't feel any discomfort at all from his sudden physical changes. After all, he had already controlled Naruto's body countless times. He even controlled Naruto's body during eating, sleeping, running, fighting, and reading.

Because he was curious about human sexual experience, he used Naruto's body of fourteen or fifteen years old to commit suicide.

"Is this your plan, Naruto?" As the vocal organs changed, Kyuubi's voice became much clearer than before.

"Hey, you haven't forgotten the usage of those *common* ninjutsu, have you, Jiulama?" A lazy voice sounded from the seven-pointed star.

Kyuubi chuckled lightly, formed a Ren seal with his hands on his chest, and shouted in a low voice:

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

The entire underground laboratory was instantly crowded with more than a hundred of his shadow clones.

"Cool."

All the Kyuubi's shadow clones disappeared without a trace at this compliment, not even the white smoke was left behind.

"What a little monster."

Kyuubi was stunned for a few seconds, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and mumbled something vaguely.

The old mage cleared his throat and said: "Next, I will return to the main material plane and enter the capital of Torre from Bezantu as a conjuration expert. Do you want to go with me?"

"Hmm." Sasuke let out a careless hum and turned to look at the sapphire amulet on Kyuubi's chest, "Do you want to meet that little girl first, Cranetail?"

"I have already met her." Naruto replied, "She has adapted better than I expected, and can even successfully perform some of the simplest tricks. I have nothing to worry about."

"Huh? Have you seen it before? When?" Bingwei asked in surprise.

"you guess."

"..."

Bingwei's face instantly showed an expression as if his throat was choked by an apple.

"Hahahaha..." Naruto let out a burst of laughter that was extremely bad to Bingwei's ears. After a while, he stopped in the young man's angry eyes, "This can be regarded as the new thing I got after undergoing the transformation."

One of his abilities is that he can see further than the average person."

"How long are you going to chat here?" Kyuubi cast a dangerous look at Bingwei impatiently, making the latter feel terrified.

"Hey, don't threaten my subordinates casually!" Naruto protested loudly.

"Didn't a bunch of bubbles just promise not to interfere with my freedom of movement?" Kyuubi grabbed the seven-pointed star pendant on his chest and asked confidently, "Or does he want to go back on his word now?

"

"Woo..." A cry like a wounded puppy sounded from the pendant.

Sasuke didn't want to pay attention to the argument between the two idiots anymore. He turned around and said to the old mage: "Take us back to the main material plane, Master Il. It will be beneficial to both of us to end this threat as soon as possible."

"I agree, kid."
