So, Konoha, in December 62,
Winter was coming.
The king of the Fire Nation who died young was like a withered leaf.
He quickly disappeared from everyone's leisure time. It was confirmed that Orochimaru was not a rumor, nor was it Konoha who was baiting him. It gradually fermented to the point where it could be brought to the table.
But in Hatake's old house,
Everyone was still careful not to talk about any national affairs. Our Naruto never took the initiative to ask anything. He seemed to be more interested in private gossip now. For example, "Lion Ball, you've gained five pounds.
I've been teaching you for half a month and you still can't learn how to shake hands.
If you can't learn it, I'll eat you. Asuma and Red are so active in preparing for pregnancy. They should be pregnant soon.
Kakashi, when are you going to be single? Aromatic Phosphorus, can you not go to Uchiha's house every time you're free?
You've learned all of Mikoto's recipes. Sasuke doesn't like you either. And Naruto.
Don't always take Hinata to eat and drink.
You have to have new surprises every day when you're in a relationship. Otherwise, it's easy to get tired of it … "
"Yes, yes, I'll take Hinata to fish for goldfish next time." Naruto replied while chewing on toast, bacon, eggs, and pork floss. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to his father more. But after retiring, Naruto had a lot of time. The father and son often spent time together, but there was nothing new to talk about. As a result, his father would talk about the same thing over and over again. If his father talked about the golden years,
Or how to fight with his political opponents, how to win his mother's heart … Naruto would never get tired of hearing it over and over again. But his father just wouldn't say it.
He would only say a few words when asked.
"Shall we drink kiwi fruit and tomato juice today?" Aromatic Phosphorus chewed on pork chop rice and squeezed juice for Watergate Daddy. She was willing to make her father happy. So if she said it directly,
She would never give up on Sasuke.
No one would say that she would give up.
This was called talking back. Although Sasuke had rejected her very formally and resolutely. However, Aromatic Phosphorus felt that Sasuke was even more charming. If he didn't love her, he wouldn't flirt with her. If he didn't love her, he wouldn't flirt with her. Sasuke didn't give up on the strange pink-haired Chunin who was ugly, fierce, couldn't cook, and had mediocre medical ninjutsu just because he was pursued by the beautiful daughter of the Naruto family. Where could she find such a good man?
"…" Kakashi didn't dare to say anything. What should he say? He should say that you treat your disciple as a treasure, but Mute didn't even look at him, and the other female ninja didn't even have the thought of marrying him. In any case, Kakashi didn't dare to say that he didn't like Konoha's fierce girls.
"Ouch!" Lionball was still chewing on a bone under Watergate's feet. Even after being kicked by Watergate, he was still chewing on the bone while lying down …
Alright, lion meatballs were an ingredient to begin with. Watergate, who was perfunctorily treated by three people and one ingredient, wanted to sigh, but he held back. If they heard him sigh early in the morning, the children would be unhappy for the whole day. And once again, ordinary family life was like this. Watching TV, listening to music, playing chess, eating, sleeping, bathing in the sun, teasing lions, and talking nonsense, and the day would pass. It was comfortable to listen to eating and waiting for death, but it was really torturous to do it.
"Dad, have another egg tart. You can eat this." Naruto was satisfied with his father's retired life. Having meat on his face was much more pleasing to the eye than a bone.
"Watergate Daddy, have some juice. I've heated it up for you." Aromatic Phosphorus was so satisfied with her current life that she felt like she was in a dream. Previously, she came from a hostile force and was adopted by Naruto. Wherever she went, she was heavily guarded. But ever since Orochimaru was announced to be Konoha's spy, Konoha said that Orochimaru -sama had never betrayed them! After that, it seemed that even the aunties in the vegetable market were kind to her.
Of course, the most important thing was …
Watergate Daddy told her everything. Her mother and Naruto's mother were close friends, the kind that had the same grandfather. Unfortunately, she was discovered when she came to Konoha for the Chunin Exam.
And knowing that she wasn't doing well, Konoha couldn't fall out with the Alliance just because of Naruto's relatives. So, they specifically asked Orochimaru to lure her away from Kusagakure. Otherwise, Orochimaru was in the middle of setting up a trap for the Kazekage at that time. So, Eddy Phosphorus, even if Yaoshi Dou successfully replicated Orochimaru's research and Konoha doesn't need you anymore, don't be afraid, because Aromatic Phosphorus was originally one of Konoha's people. When something happened in the Land of Whirlpools, your mother ran to Konoha. The Uzumaki in the Konoha's leaf logo is the Uzumaki family. But who knew that your mother was as short-sighted as you. When she saw the handsome guy who saved her, she couldn't walk away. She stayed in Kusagakure at a young age and got married. So, Eddy Phosphorus, you are really Naruto Uzumaki's cousin. You have no other relatives, so it's natural for you to live in your uncle's house. "Watergate Daddy, would you like another rock candy?"
"Okay." Watergate looked at Aromatic Phosphorus's happiness, and compared it to her pitiful appearance at first sight, he was glad that he did a good thing.
But Kakashi stared at Aromatic Phosphorus, who completely treated Minato's house as her own once she learned her "true identity". He was really impressed by his teacher's ability to trick children. He lied to Anko that the interrogation was training, lied to her that Belt Soil and Rin's sacrifice wasn't in vain, lied to Naruto that his mother's death anniversary wasn't October 10th, and even lied to many orphans that were born in Konoha …
"Kakashi, wash the dishes when you're done eating." Watergate noticed Kakashi's gaze and kicked him under the table, "After becoming Naruto, you don't wash the dishes or take out the trash."
Kakashi put down the newly published book "Intimate Violence" in his hand and slowly rolled up his sleeves.
"It's okay, I'll wash the dishes." Aromatic Phosphorus actually didn't like housework, but doing things for her family was different — Eddy Phosphorus's surname was really Uzumaki, and she had a family!
Naruto pulled Aromatic Phosphorus away, "Hey, I'm going to receive the officials from the National Capital today. There will be women, so you should accompany them."
Aromatic Phosphorus received Naruto's gaze. Kakashi seemed to have something to discuss with Watergate Daddy?
Kakashi watched as Naruto and Aromatic Phosphorus took away the trash and threw it away. Then, facing the teacher's disdainful gaze, he coughed lightly, "Kina came to Konoha when she was five, and the Country of Whirlpools was destroyed when she was six. Aromatic Phosphorus's mother probably wasn't even born at that time. If she's really your relative, Kusanagi wouldn't dare to let her show her face, who doesn't know …"
"I'm a bastard child that even my parents can't explain."
"That's not what I meant." Kakashi rubbed his face, "I meant that you should make up a better lie when you're trying to fool a child. What if someone spills the beans later …"
"No one is as talkative and stupid as you." Watergate rolled up the newspaper and threw it at Kakashi several times, "You're not really jealous because the new house left a room for Aromatic Phosphorus but not for you, are you?"
"I've discussed with Genma, and we want to separate a department to deal with foreign affairs." Kakashi didn't want to talk about the new house. He really had something to say today, "Right now, only Sand Ninja has people in Konoha, and Shikamaru can handle it. But after the New Year, other ninja villages will also send people here, and Shikamaru will also be responsible for the finances. "
"Then why are you talking to me about it?"
Kakashi was very nervous, "Recently, representatives from all over the world who came to attend my inauguration ceremony have also come one after another. Originally, I wanted Naruto to participate in the reception. First, he has done a lot of reception work before, and second, Golden Flash's son and Nine Tails' Force Of Human Column will be there. Ninja and non-ninja will have to think twice if they want to find fault. But we found that Naruto is super eloquent, and several National Capital reporters took turns to talk to him, and Naruto can deal with anyone, and his image is also good … "
"…"
"So, I'm going to let Naruto be responsible for foreign affairs, and in the future when the Ministry of Finance is separated from the General Staff Department, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also be established." Kakashi didn't dare to stop, "Of course, Naruto's job will still be the king or Kage level. But he will be building irrigation dams with Sand Hidden, and coordinating with Mist and Cloud Hidden Wave Country for specific work such as ports for merchant ships … "
"…"
"The minister of foreign affairs will be in Konoha most of the time, but it's inevitable that he will occasionally go on business trips, not field work. He will represent Naruto in negotiations, and which village will be responsible for protecting him."
"…"
"Naruto knows Thor, and with his Chakra, it will only take him one or two days to go to the Cloud Country and back."
"…" Watergate warned himself, you have to be able to pick up and let go. When his son grows up, not only will he have his own life, but he will also have his own career, otherwise he will be living off a woman. "Naruto should also be very satisfied with this job."
"…" This is the minister of foreign affairs that Naruto reported to him.
"As long as Naruto is happy." Watergate thought of Naruto's hesitant look in the past two days, and he couldn't help but laugh, "By the way, Kakashi, have you decided on your cloak style? I'm going to wear it soon."
"I'll use yours, it's easy to change the number." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, if Sensei didn't even accept Naruto's occasional business trips, he really didn't know what to do. "The cloak maker said that he thought you would have to work for another seven or eight years, so there's a lot of stock left."
"But I always feel that it's weird for you to wear my cloak."
"How about I dye my hair blonde?
"…" Watergate's newspaper stirred again, "You should hurry up and go to work. Really, you don't care about the accounts, you don't care about the outside world, you don't care about the outside world, you really have it easy being Naruto."
"You said it, when Naruto and the others start to grow up and fall in love, Konoha won't be short on time." Kakashi chuckled, he felt that as time passed, his relationship with Sensei was finally gradually becoming normal, although …
"Why are you hemming and hawing again?"
"Sister Kina doesn't have anything to say about Naruto's matter, right?" Although Kakashi didn't believe Orochimaru, he believed in the testimonies of Yamato, Itachi, and the other subordinates — it was better to be safe than sorry! Well, respect is an attitude, otherwise, who knows how much pillow talk will go wrong!
"Your sister Kina went to inspect the lighting in the new house in the winter morning." Watergate felt that it was really easy for him to get used to Kina's absence, and now he wasn't worried at all. That's right, it was indeed cruel to let a ghost who couldn't sleep and eat eat and sleep with everyone. "Kakashi."
"Yes."
"Since you remembered to discuss Naruto's matter with me … Don't think about the room, but I can leave you a special sofa in the living room where you can bask in the sun 24 hours a day."
Kakashi wanted to say that the sun couldn't last 24 hours, but seeing that Sensei didn't seem to notice his slip of the tongue, he didn't dare to say it. "Yamato, come out and wash the dishes."
Yamato came out and did the dishes obediently.
Watergate sent Kakashi out of Kakashi's house. Just as he rolled up his sleeves and was about to wipe the table, a branch snatched the cloth away from him. "Yamato, do you really want to follow me all the time? There's no future for you."
"Itachi wrote a report saying that Jiraiya was played by Orochimaru and couldn't play the role of a guard at all, but he certainly didn't want to be a guard himself." Yamato showed an aggrieved look. "So if I don't follow you, I'll probably be sent to monitor Orochimaru -sama."
"Monitoring Orochimaru isn't a bad job." Watergate walked around the room twice. Under the condemning eyes of the Anbu, he put down the mop, sat back on the sofa, put his feet up, unfolded the newspaper, then closed it again and picked up the Thor communicator. "002300, it's been a month, why haven't you built that Baijue yet? Yaoshi Dou's all-purpose supplement can be equipped to the army after the New Year. If you don't make good progress and can't build it in a short time, admit that you're inefficient, and return some of the funds I allocated to you. "
Watergate finished and waited for Orochimaru to hang up. But today, there was no familiar "beep" from the receiver, but a wet and hoarse voice, "It's earmarked for a specific purpose, there's no possibility of returning it."
Watergate really wanted to throw a screwball at him. "Then you've made some progress. I used the money I prepared for myself to research Thor's communicator. You said you'd get results soon, but now I have nothing to do."
"Beep."
Watergate opened the newspaper and closed it again, picked up the communicator again, but he didn't know who to call.
And the Rain Country Ninja.
Drizzle.
Orochimaru turned off the communicator and continued to do his own things step by step. The machine that simulates the human Chakra refining operation has been built. Now, as long as the Rinnegan is connected, and then enough cells are injected into Hashirama's cells and the Chakra is extracted, he can try to summon the Gedo Mazo mentioned by Nagato. Through the Gedo Mazo, Hashirama's Chakra will be transformed into cells again, becoming a person who doesn't need to go through the six paths of reincarnation. Human?
It's said that the third generation of Konoha, Naruto, is a ninja professor who can use all kinds of Ninjutsu, but that old man really only knows how to use them. And he, Orochimaru, not only knows how to use all kinds of Ninjutsu, but also can understand the principle. Even Hashirama's notoriously difficult Ninjutsu to understand, he can figure it out. But to be honest, summoning the Gedo Mazo and injecting Hashirama's cells can turn into Baijue, he really can't figure out why and how it can be created. But Uchiha Belt Soil and the black and white Zetsu are in front of him, he can't rely on praying to God.
But what exactly is the Gedo Mazo?
Is it like the Zombie Demon Seal, one summons the Shinigami, the other summons the child-giving Guanyin and Lady Nuwa? Or is it the same as the Edo Tensei, just simplified and accelerated the human cell division and reproduction with Ninjutsu?
Thinking about it carefully, is there really a God in this world? There should be, but where is God? There are all kinds of legends in the human world. There's also the so-called Heaven, Pure Land, and Hell. Are they the same place? What kind of existences are they? Why is it that after a person dies, they will be guided by a pillar of light and then be trapped in … a blissful world where one's wishes come true? How can wishes come true?
Orochimaru didn't know if Kina Maelstrom had escaped from the so-called place where one's wishes come true like him. However, he was certain that the so-called Heaven, Pure Land, and Hell … really resembled Uchiha Macula's dream, the Infinite Tsukuyomi mentioned on Uchiha's ancestral stone tablet.
When Orochimaru first joined the Akatsuki, it wasn't that he wasn't interested in the Eye of the Moon project. Since Kotoamatsukami could change a person's will, it wasn't impossible to collect the Ten-Tails' massive Chakra and use the moon to cast Kotoamatsukami to change the world's will. Back then, he really thought that Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami were the same, until he really fell for Tsukuyomi.
Uchiha Fugaku's Sharingan technique had pulled him into a pot of boiling oil, but Fugaku's shoulder was recovering at that time. His eyes had just turned into kaleidoscopes, so he failed to kill him instantly. Instead, he found a flaw in the illusion. However, the feeling was exactly the same. Death and falling for the Sharingan's illusion.
"Since you're ready, why aren't you starting? Your backer is rushing you, right?"
Orochimaru hesitated and looked at Nagato in the jar. He even suddenly felt timid. He wasn't afraid of the white-haired Uzumaki, but he was afraid of his empty eye sockets. "It's not difficult to create it. The difficult part is injecting your soul into it. Therefore, I have to confirm my experimental subject first. If your soul can return after leaving, I can't use my backer's wife as an experiment. "
"I can return."
"You previously said that you wouldn't be tempted by a beautiful life, but you ended up dead."
"I can return." The reason why Nagato wasn't in a hurry to commit suicide after being captured was that he wanted to see the world after death that Orochimaru mentioned. If the world after death was really the same as the Infinite Tsukuyomi that Uchiha Macula was looking forward to, it would be too interesting. "Besides, even if I can't return, you should be prepared, right?"
"Of course, not everyone's soul can ascend to the heavens after death."
The heavens say that he rules over all things
