Chapter 9: The Tiger's Den and the Wolf's Den
After returning from Naruto's residence, the living room where the three generations lived was supposed to be quiet at night was now brightly lit. Menyan, Koharu, Tuan Zang, and the leaders of the various families who were gathered gathered gathered here, and the heads of the families expressed their opinions at this time, and they quarreled fiercely.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Koharu first broke the confrontation with the three generations, looked at the three generations and asked, "How is the situation with the arrest of the Nine-Tails now?" ”
The third generation didn't say anything, but a shinobi standing behind him stood up and replied, "According to the latest information from the liaison class, the traces of the Nine-Tails are temporary... Lose someone. ”
"Lost?" Koharu's eyes widened and asked, "The 12 shinobi went to chase a little ghost and lost it?" Are the pursuing shinobi all a bunch of idiots? ”
Although he wasn't tracking, the fact that 12 Shangninas were tracking a 3-year-old child and lost each other made his fellow Shangninja feel the same shameless, and he said in a defensive way: "But that's only temporary, the target can't run far, just give them some time......"
"That's enough." Tuan Zang paused for the crutches in his hand, interrupted the words of the upper ninja, and then said: "The fact is that the 12 upper ninjas were played by a little ghost, and no amount of rhetoric can hide the incompetence of the pursuing personnel. ”
The third generation took a deep breath of cigarette and thought: the time to come is finally coming.
Tuan Zang turned his gaze to the three generations and said, "Ape Fei, how did you choose the personnel?" How are you responsible for this incident! ”
At this time, Xiao Chun also said on the side: "The Nine-Tails Pillar Force is an important combat force in the village, we have long proposed to imprison the Nine-Tails, and we must strengthen the monitoring of the Nine-Tails at the worst. In this incident, if the dark part of the Nine-Tails is turned over again, it will be wishful thinking for the Nine-Tails to escape from Konoha. You must give us a satisfactory answer to the Nine-Tails' escape this time. ”
Menyan took over the words and continued to complain: "Although the Nine-Tails' rampage is unpredictable, I think the response after that was your mistake. Ape Fei, I've already read the information of the pursuit force, half of them are imps, what role can such a force play, why don't you choose more experienced ninjas? Otherwise, there will be no loss of target! ”
One of the family heads sitting at the bottom of the group suddenly said loudly, "Most of the upper shinobi in the village have gone out on a mission, and isn't there not a single member of the root who has not been dispatched?"
As the attendant spoke, all eyes in the living room couldn't help but gather.
"Who are you, little ghost, and what qualifications do you have to speak here!" Koharu glared at him and said heavily.
The young man seemed to want to say something, but he was pressed on the head by a person next to him, and he fell to the ground with him and apologized: "Be quiet, Lu Jiu!" The dog has no way to teach, and has offended all the adults, and please atone for your sins. ”
Menyan looked at the head of the family who was lying on the ground and the little ghost who still wanted to resist but was powerless to struggle, and looked at their unique outfits and remembered that these two people seemed to be the Nara clan who were in charge of the staff force in the village.
The Yamanaka clan (pigs) and the Akimichi clan (Butterfly), who were in charge of the village's intelligence forces, always wore the same pants as the Nara clan (deer). Although the strength of their individual families is not as great as that of the Uchiha clan or the Hyuga clan, the three of them have always been a united front. It can be said that it is with the support of the three of them that Sarufei can firmly sit in the position of the Hokage, and it is undoubtedly unwise to encounter them head-on at this time.
Thinking of this, Menyan quietly glanced at Xiaochun, and Xiaochun also said: "The little ghost is not sensible, forget it this time, go back and take good care of him, let him learn how to manage his mouth." ”
The head of the Nara clan bowed again and apologized, "I'm really sorry, I'll take good care of the dog when I go back." However, when everyone was not paying attention, he secretly gestured to his son and praised him for doing a good job. Because if there are them, the head of the family will offend the upper class to death, but in the case of their own sons, they can be excused as young and ignorant.
Tuan Zang, who was the commander of the First Army, was secretly annoyed, but he couldn't continue to ask, and Tuan Zang also knew very well that it was impossible to use this incident to drive Ape Fei off the stage. The purpose of attacking Ape Fei's prestige has been achieved, and he will not gain any benefit if he continues to make trouble, and he said without a trace of emotion on his face: "Forget it, we don't care what plans Ape Fei has, I just hope that you can give us a satisfactory answer when the time comes." With that, he took the lead and walked out.
The largest reinforcements on the side have begun to withdraw, and the lonely and difficult Menyan, Xiaochun and the two are no longer entangled, but once again emphasized the danger of the demon fox and the importance of human pillar power to the village's combat power, and then left.
Tonight's council came to an end, and the rest of the heads of the family went back after receiving different instructions from three generations, and it is unknown how they would deal with this matter within their family.
After everyone left, looking at the white fish-belly ape in the sky, Fei couldn't help but sigh heavily, and walked towards the Hokage Building.
In the endless sea of trees, Naruto continued to run in the direction he had set out after temporarily hiding from the shinobi who were following him. Although the upper ninjas were temporarily misled and were expected to buy themselves a lot of time, Naruto didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Most of the spiritual power has been consumed, and the remaining amount makes him dare not draw the chakra of the Nine-Tails at will, and Naruto, who can only use his own chakra, can't even run at a speed that can't even catch up with the upper and lower ninjas, if he doesn't take advantage of this time to close the distance between the two sides as much as possible, then it won't take long for those upper ninjas to catch themselves after they react.
Fortunately, this body has the blood of the Uzumaki clan, and Naruto, who has strong mental strength, can feel that the chakra that was consumed a lot under the water before is quickly recovering even when he is running.
The 12 shinobi could return to the river at any time and follow their tracks, but now they are quite tired both mentally and physically, and they must find a way to completely shake off the pursuers behind them.
With that in mind, Naruto climbed to the top of the tallest tree around him and surveyed the terrain around him.
An endless sea of trees runs from north to south, and the flat terrain of the Fire Nation provides a good environment for them to grow. On the periphery of the Oriental Sea of Trees is an endless grassland, and the tender green grass is like a green 'ocean', which is very beautiful, but it is not a good choice for escape. The only thing that is a little undulating is the hills to the west, but the highest dirt slope is no more than 100 meters, and it is still too difficult for Naruto to hide his whereabouts.
Naruto couldn't find the rushing river or towering mountain he was looking for, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught in the sea of trees. So where do I go next?
Naruto, who was a little desperate, couldn't help but feel that his strength was still too weak, and he was quite powerless to even escape.
Should they give up and then let them bring themselves back to the village? I'm afraid that after being captured back to the village this time, there will never be any personal freedom, right? After that, I should be sent to the 'root' to be trained and monitored, and all feelings that are erased will become a real weapon, right?
Within the seal, the Nine-Tails, who had been silent for a long time, began to come alive when they saw the opportunity.
"Weak imp." The Nine-Tails in his body sneered and mocked, "What can you do with your little strength?" ”
Indeed, without the power of the Nine-Tails, it would be impossible for him to escape from the village on his own. Without the strength of the Nine-Tails, it is impossible for him to shake off the shadows that are chasing him. When his spiritual power was constantly depleted, it became more and more difficult to extract the Nine-Tails Chakra, and the distance between himself and the Shangnin's pursuit team began to shrink continuously.
All thanks to the Nine-Tails, without the Nine-Tails Chakra, what can you do on your own?
"That's true." Naruto said a little frustratedly, "If it weren't for your chakra, I would have been arrested a long time ago, and even how to escape from the village is a problem." ”
Naruto did not deny the Nine-Tails' evaluation of himself, he was too weak now.
"Look at you like a lost dog, even I feel sorry for you." The Nine-Tails continued to strike mercilessly.
Naruto took a picture of the stagnant water underground, and laughed at himself, "It's okay, it's not that bad. ”
"Weak bugs don't recognize their own weakness, and it seems to me that you are as incompetent and ignorant as weak bugs." The Nine-Tails' words turned into sharp weapons and stabbed at Naruto, constantly striking and destroying him.
"Take a good look, everything has been going smoothly since you fled, and you can't do anything without my power, Naruto." The language of the Nine-Tails has a wonderful rhythm that makes people want to identify with it involuntarily.
"You need my strength."
Naruto rarely didn't answer the Nine-Tails' words, his head lowered and he didn't say a word, hiding all his expressions in the shadows.
"What I'm saying is true, you know it best. Naruto, open your heart and accept my power, and then you can get everything you want. The huge fox's mouth hooked an ominous arc, and spat out soft words like a lover, which kept wrapping around Naruto's ears.
The dark red chakra began to gather towards Naruto outside the prison and slowly lifted Naruto up, wanting to enter Naruto's body. However, there was always an invisible film on the outside of Naruto's skin that separated the Nine-Tails' chakra, making it impossible for the Nine-Tails' chakra to actually enter Naruto's body.
The Nine-Tails looked at this phenomenon and knew that Naruto's spiritual barrier had not completely disappeared, and decided to add another fire: "You have what you want, right?" Accept my power, and then you will get everything you want! ”
Naruto was shocked when he heard this, and his originally clenched fist finally loosened.
Yes, what you want, what you want to do......
In his previous life, his biggest regret for the Hokage was that he couldn't do anything to change the sad story in the Hokage. I was fortunate enough to be here in this life, and I had to do something and change something, and the thought began to fill my heart. Even if you can't change this ninja world full of hatred and strife, at least you have to bring a glimmer of light to them, and you don't want to be a spectator anymore.
In order not to let the regrets of the past life become the regrets of this life, you must do something! Even if nothing has been accomplished, at least I will not regret what I did today in retrospect!
At this time, in the seal of the Nine-Tails, the chakra that wrapped Naruto was already a little red and blackened, and looking at Naruto's released fists, the Nine-Tails couldn't help but show a triumphant smile. It's still a little close, it's still a little bit close......
"Xiao Jiu is right." Naruto said with his head down.
"By the way, you can't do anything without my power. Give up resistance, accept my power, and I will fulfill all your wishes! The Nine-Tails said slowly, trying to get Naruto to give up his last resistance.
"Thank you, Xiao Jiu......"
"What?"
"Thank you for reminding me of why I ran away and why I needed strength." The Nine-Tails' words finally made Naruto come to his senses, and he smiled at the Nine-Tails: "Little Nine, your strength is still back to you, what I want to do, I have to achieve it with my own strength!" ”
Using the last of his strength, he scattered all the Nine-Tails Chakra wrapped around his body, and Naruto's eyes showed unprecedented determination.
"How is it possible, how can you still retain such a strong spiritual power!" Nine-Tails looked at Naruto in front of him and said incredulously.
Under the Nine-Tails' incredulous gaze, Naruto turned and left the place. Before leaving, he waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Xiao Jiu." ”
The sealed space became empty again, and only the Nine-Tails' still unrelenting roar echoed in it: "You can't do anything without my strength, I promise you'll regret it, Naruto!" You absolutely can't do anything! ”
Naruto, who regained consciousness, once again determined his goal and was ready to start his escape, but a voice from beside him made Naruto have to stop again: "That's it, Naruto." ”
Ahh

I repaired it 3 times, and it was finally smooth, but the number of words exceeded 3700 unconsciously.
