In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
A ninja named 'Seizuki' had appeared in the Muye Village, and he had also joined the celebrity team of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. With the identity of 'Born from Nowhere', he had blended into the circle of the Fifteen Roaches of Muye.
As for the Kaleidoscope Uchiha Shinichi of the Uchiha Family, he suddenly applied for a private training ground in the Forest of Death and moved from the Uchiha Family's land to the Forest of Death with the excuse of developing ninjutsu.
Apart from this, there was nothing else worth paying attention to in Muye this month.
And in this seemingly peaceful month, Kuroto secretly made all the preparations, all the things that should be dealt with before the ceremony, all the preparations that should be made, all the deployments that should be prepared were completed.
Bell pouted and said, "Kuroto, why are you daydreaming again?"
"Of course not. I'm listening carefully!"
Hyōjin smiled awkwardly.
Today, he had deliberately taken the time to accompany Bell because he had decided to carry out the ritual that would inevitably lead to his death tomorrow. However, listening to Bell talking about daily trifles, he could not help but be a little distracted, thinking about the ceremony tomorrow.
Bell said softly, "If you have something to deal with, then go do it. There's no need to accompany me."
After being together for so long, Bell could more or less sense what Hyōjin was thinking and doing. She could even rely on her woman's intuition to distinguish whether the Hyōjin she saw was the real Hyōjin, a shadow clone, or someone else pretending to be him.
However, she would not expose this because she knew that Hyōjin must have a reason for doing this.
At this time, Hyōjin pulled Bell in front of him and quietly hugged her.
Bell, who was being hugged by Hyōjin, was a little surprised because this was the first time Hyōjin had expressed his feelings so directly, which made her feel a little uneasy. "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
"No …" After a pause, Hyōjin said, "I just want to hug you."
Ling gently stroked Hyōjin's back: "Is it because of the village? Right, the situation in the Shinobi world is so complicated, and the burden of the village is on you, Naruto. You must be very tired, right? "
"Yes, I'm exhausted! I don't want to do anything today. I don't want to think about anything. I just want to be a quiet salted fish. Tell me more interesting things that happened in your hospital. I want to hear them. "
Hyōjin buried his face into Bell's body.
"Pfft …" Bell laughed and said, "You're Naruto and you're still acting like a child. If others see this, you'll lose face!"
Hyōjin joked, "I'm Naruto. If anyone dares to speak ill of me, I'll deduct their salary!"
The two of them chatted and laughed until night fell.
When the sky darkened and night fell, the tired Bell slowly fell asleep. Hyōjin got up and stretched his body. Then, he covered Bell with a blanket.
"It's time to go …"
Looking at the sleeping Bell for the last time, Hyōjin said to himself.
To be honest, he had released too many emotions today. He vaguely felt that Bell seemed to have felt something, so he couldn't add any more psychological burden to Bell. So, he didn't mention anything about the ritual or death.
Moving his gaze away from Bell, the gentleness on Hyōjin's face gradually disappeared. He returned to his usual calmness, and his eyes were even colder than usual.
Swoosh …
Leaving behind a Shadow Clone, Hyōjin disappeared from the room.
Tomorrow morning, this Shadow Clone would find a closed training ground in the village under the excuse of training. At that time, even if Hyōjin's real body died in the ritual, causing the Shadow Clone to suddenly disappear, it would not cause any panic in the village.
Flying at high speed, Hyōjin only spent half a day to arrive at the ritual site in the vast desert of the Wind Nation.
At this time, the ritual site had already changed beyond recognition. The ground was almost covered with solid stone bricks. In the center stood a simple but exquisitely crafted altar.
Around the altar area, there were two huge barriers. One of them was a barrier that shielded the fluctuation of Chakra, and the other was a barrier that prevented sandstorms from attacking the altar area.
The main material of these two barriers was the black stick made of Xiang Po's Reincarnation Eye. So, the output was extremely high and the effect was far better than ordinary barriers. It was also because of the existence of these two barriers that the whole altar area was clean and tidy, which was incompatible with the surrounding sea of sand.
Landing on the altar, Hyōjin looked around and did a final check.
At this time, Xiang Po, who had been waiting at the altar area, came up and said, "Sir, you're here!"
Hyōjin asked casually, "How are the preparations?"
Xiang Po quickly replied, "Everything is ready. My instructor and I are already on guard nearby. They will ensure that no desert creatures will stray into the altar area and interfere with your ritual!"
The 'instructor' mentioned by Xiang Po is naturally the Kazekage puppets of the Three Generations.
Ai and the Kazekage puppets of the Three Generations, one has the Jinchuriki and the other has the 'Magnet Release' Kekkei Genkai. In this desert environment, let alone expel ordinary desert creatures, even if they encounter a Kage-class ninja here, they will have the power to fight.
Hyōjin then asked, "Are you proficient in 'Edo Tensei Jutsu'?"
"Yes!"
Xiang Po nodded heavily.
This month, Hyōjin also took the time to do two things. One was to cultivate a clone in the air fortress as an offering for 'Edo Tensei Jutsu', and the other was to guide Xiang Po to learn 'Edo Tensei Jutsu'.
After all, even if you want to resurrect in the form of 'Edo Tensei Jutsu', you still need someone to perform the technique. A dead person can't perform 'Edo Tensei Jutsu' on himself.
In addition, considering that the strength of the offering will affect the strength of 'Edo Tensei Jutsu', after some consideration, Hyōjin decided to use the Yang Release Clone as a template to clone an offering.
This is because among all of his clones, except for the Wind Release Clone, the Yang Release Clone is the strongest. However, the Wind Release Clone is something that has a small probability of happening. Therefore, using the Yang Release Clone as a template is the best offering he can make with his current technology.
In addition, considering that during the Fourth Shinobi War, Orochimaru used White Zetsu's Clone as an offering, and the Edo Tensei was able to give birth to a Hokage with strength close to that of his previous life. Therefore, using the Yang Release Clone, which is also fused with the cells of Hashirama, as an offering should be the safest and safest choice.
Kuroto slowly raised his head and looked at the Sky Fortress floating outside the altar area. Then, he leaped and flew towards the Sky Fortress …
