Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Bird of Freedom
"Victor - Naruto Uzumaki!"
Amid the cheers of thousands of spectators, Shiranui Genma announced the results of the first match.
"It's really amazing, is this a shinobi battle?"
"It's different, both of these are famous geniuses, especially the blonde one."
"The body art type is really not a ninjutsu type opponent, wow."
With the roaring applause, the ordinary people in the audience discussed enthusiastically.
However, they are not ninjas after all, they belong to the type of watching a lively scene, and the content of the discussion is also ridiculous, and the perception is completely different when it is replaced by the ninjas present.
"Hinata's stunts can be prevented, this is no longer something that Shinobi can do, Naruto's participation in the exam is a complete foul." A Konoha shinobi sighed at this time.
"Shinobi? Can you confidently block the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms at that distance? The colleague next to him rolled his eyes when he heard this, as if to say, "You are too overestimating and forbearing." ”
Indeed, although this game was nominally part of the trial of the middle ninja, most of the middle ninjas couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts after substituting themselves into it, whether it was Naruto or Ning Ji, it was impossible for any of them to do better.
Especially the stunts shown by both sides in the game, Hinata's blood relay and the amazing ice dragon at the end are not mentioned, let's just say that Naruto's spiral pill and multiple shadow clones are amazing enough, this is a ninjutsu at the upper ninja level, and it is no wonder that they all seem to drop their jaws in shock.
However, the most eye-catching thing in this game was the Irusil straight sword held by Naruto, which was able to make non-blooded ninjas use Ice Escape, which made almost all ninjas feel unbelievable, and this was what they talked about the most.
"Bing Dun, wait a minute, pay attention to this guy." Kankuro and Temari glanced at each other, and both of them saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, and they were wary of Naruto.
Among them, Temari is especially strong, compared to Kankuro, as a wind escape ninja, she has seen Naruto's merry blade in the preliminaries, and knows how terrifying the other party's attainments in wind escape are, and now she has seen Naruto's ice escape, and knows that this person will be a strong enemy in the next war.
“…… Naruto Uzumaki...... "A little dust spilled out of the gourd behind him, floating up and down on my Airo Zhou's body, his eyes fixed on the blonde boy in the field, muttering the other party's name,
Unlike his siblings, who were his siblings, Airo was extremely excited at the moment, and an irrepressible murderous aura overflowed from him, and his mind was already imagining the scene when Naruto's blood was wet in his sand.
Compared to Sasuke, Naruto is undoubtedly better used to foil his "existing" opponent, and he has already made up his mind at this time that when the war begins, the first person to kill will be Naruto.
The perspective returns to the field again.
After announcing the results, the medical team entered the scene and began to treat Ning Ci, whose feet were frozen, for fear that the nerve damage in his feet would be too severe, they were carefully using warm water to help Ning Ci thaw little by little.
Naruto couldn't help with this kind of thing, not because he was cautious, but because he wasn't really a blood inheritance boundary after all, and the frost created by Ilussil's straight sword belonged to the type that could only be sent but not received, so after the results came out, he just retracted the sword and planned to return to the player's preparation area.
But before he could take a few steps, Ning Ci behind him stopped him.
"You must be very proud now, can't you wait to show off to that eldest lady?" Ning Ci said almost through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Ning Ji was so unwilling about this result that it sounded like the Hyuga clan and Naruto had defeated him in a despicable way.
I don't know when, in Ning Ci's heart, defeating Naruto has been inexplicably equated with defeating the clan he hates, so the failure in the plot is different, and it is difficult for him to accept this result at this time.
"yes." Unexpectedly, Naruto, who stopped, directly admitted the other party's angry words, only to see him turn his head with a smile and ask Xiang Ningji, "How is it?" What does it feel like to be trampled under the feet of fate again? ”
"You ......" Ninji, who was told by Naruto about the sore spot, was furious, and he was so angry that he trembled and couldn't speak.
However, Naruto continued: "After a month of hard work, I have already touched the threshold of victory, but I found that the enemy cheated and took out more things, this feeling as if I was fooled by fate is not pleasant, do you know why this happened?" ”
"That's because you didn't succumb to the results of reality." Without waiting for Ninji to speak, Naruto replied first.
And his answer can be said to be very politically incorrect, and many people present frowned, especially the referee who was standing not far away, and his impression of Naruto suddenly dropped several levels.
"What an arrogant fellow." The steel iron in the audience muttered.
Seeing that Naruto was still making a lot of nonsense after the victory, this kind of behavior made his rectum extremely unhappy.
Naruto naturally couldn't hear the voices of others, and even if he knew what they thought, he didn't care, just listened to him continue: "The so-called fate is - to give the right despair in order not to make people arrogant! ”
"You're just too arrogant, Ningji."
The corners of his mouth showed a malicious smile, and Naruto's words were like a sharp arrow piercing Ningji's heart, and Ningji's face was instantly pale without a trace of blood.
"It's just a separation, a nestling trapped in a cage, but always delusional to fly out to see the color of the sky, isn't it too much to daydream?"
"From the fact that you transferred your resentment against the Zong family to me, you still haven't recognized the reality that belongs to you, Ning Ci, the reason why you lost is because of this."
"It's obviously a separate family, but you have a grudge against the clan who controls your own destiny, and you are a genius trying to highlight your existence, but it turns out that you are nothing without the eyes that Hinata gave you, and don't you always say 'Hinata is the strongest in Konoha'?"
"So I advise you to accept the reality, embrace fate as well, and be a loyal door dog of the clan, so that you can live a little easier, otherwise you will know what is called 'the malice of fate', this time is just a warning, next time maybe fate will knock on the door, so you'd better ......"
"Enough!" Just as Naruto said this, Shiranui Genma finally couldn't help but interrupt him, pointing to the exit and saying to Naruto: "The game is over, players hurry up and leave the field, otherwise they will be disqualified." ”
As a referee, he can't listen to it at the moment, Naruto, this is no longer a politically incorrect issue, it has reached the point of affecting Konoha's reputation, after all, there are so many foreign guests in the audience, and if he is so open-mouthed, I don't know how bad it will be.
Moreover, the issue between Hinata's clan and the division of the clan is acute and complex, and it is not suitable for discussion here.
“…… All right. Naruto spread his hands to indicate that this was the end, and took one last look at Ninji, who was now in place with his head bowed, "It seems that well-intentioned advice can sometimes be unpleasant, but I advise you to think carefully about what I say." With that, he turned away without looking back.
And Ning Ci stood in place and buried his head deeply, not even aware that the people in the medical team had already dealt with him.
At this time, he recalled that afternoon when he was young, he and his father were watching the patriarch Rizu teach the eldest lady, watching the eldest lady run awkwardly, for some reason, his father's face instantly became hideous, and this almost undetectable killing intent was instantly captured by the patriarch Rizu, and immediately launched the caged bird.
After that, he and his father never came to the ashram of the clan again, and one day later, when his father, who had been rejected again, came back and looked at him sadly and said:
"Is this what you call the right despair......
Ningji recalled his father's death and Naruto's words just now, and blood flowed from his clenched hands, dripping to the ground.
Unwillingness, anger, hatred, frustration, for a short period of time, his heart was wrapped in all kinds of negative emotions, until ......
His father's voice whispered in his ear again, like a purifying flame, burning away his negative emotions in an instant, and his eyes were brighter than ever.
Just as Naruto was about to walk to the exit, Ningji's voice came from behind him again.
Only this time, Ning Ji did not have the hysteria of annoyance and anger, nor was he discouraged as he imagined, but said in a calm and firm voice: "If fate knocks on the door, I will choke him by the throat, and no matter what kind of cage I will eventually break free, Naruto Uzumaki, you wait and see, you better not die until I prove this, I will let you see with your own eyes how I did it." ”
Ning Ci didn't play the same as before at this moment, but with a calm but loud face like Naruto expressing his determination, if Naruto looked back, he would find that Ning Ci's white eyes were unprecedentedly clear and blazing at this moment.
However, he didn't look back, just raised his hand behind Ning Ci's back and waved, as if he was too lazy to say anything more in the face of the other party.
However, the truth is that Naruto didn't want to be seen at the corners of his mouth at the moment.
……
"I'm talking about you, it's the first time I've known that you still have the attribute of a poisonous tongue." Naruto had just come up from the passage, and the first thing that greeted him was a complaint from Shikamaru.
Shikamaru is naturally different from most of the audience who are still taunting their opponents and scolding Naruto for not speaking of martial arts because Naruto has won, and the delicate-minded Shikamaru has long seen his true purpose from Naruto's abnormal behavior.
It's just that Shikamaru, as a classmate, he can't understand that Naruto, who has always been gentle but actually rejects people thousands of miles away, suddenly treats Ning Ji like this, and it is the first time he has seen Naruto be so attentive to another person besides Hinata.
"No way, I've been talking to you too much lately, and it's inevitable that I'll be affected by you unconsciously." Shrugging his shoulders, Naruto joked faintly.
There is no way to do it with a poisonous tongue, in the case of his external body, where did he come from to make Ning Ci bravely resist his fate? So it can only be reversed.
Regarding the contradiction between Hyuga's clan and the separation family, although it is inconvenient for him to hold a position as an outsider, under the influence of the inherent three views in his previous life, he still leans towards Ning Ci's side.
Just like he himself hated being pushed by the plot, for Ning Ci's final calm acceptance of fate in the original plot, it was difficult for him to accept this result when reading the comics.
The door of his head was engraved like a slave, and his biological father was sacrificed in vain because of the ridiculous appeasement policy of the three generations of Hokage, if he still accepted the reality under such a premise, it would be too sad in his opinion.
Obviously, it was Yunyin's side who shot at Hinata first for the sake of white eyes, but he sacrificed his own people for the so-called not to cause a war, which is simply a typical ostrich thinking.
Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, in exchange for a peaceful night's sleep. Looking at the four realms, the Qin soldiers are here again.
What about putting out the fire?
This time, I used the life of the day difference to quell a possible war, so who will be next time?
As the winner of the ninja world war three times, Konoha's ninja family is full of flowers, and all kinds of blood inheritance limits and secret techniques will inevitably be coveted by the enemy. Or is it the shadow secret art of the Nara family, or the heart of the mountain?
In the face of this kind of crisis, in his opinion, the only way to do it should be to fight with one punch, so as not to come with a hundred punches, and immediately fight back, even if it is a war, otherwise why would the other families of Konoha still unite under the leadership of your Hokage, don't you feel sad that the rabbit is dead?
So in the final analysis, the root cause of Ningji's tragic fate was still the three generations of Hokage and the elders of the sect family.
Hehe, the phrase "Hyuga is the strongest in Konoha" is really true, because the Hyuga family really regards themselves as a part of Konoha, and in that case, they can sacrifice their clansmen in this ridiculous name without hesitation, if this were for the Uchiha to face this kind of thing, I'm afraid it would have exploded a long time ago.
And the Zong family didn't take the family as a person at all.
It can also be seen here that the degree of feudalism in this world is serious, and the scientific level of this world is not bad.
But the clan and bloodline are still the mainstream of this world, and they are the shackles that are tightly bound to human beings, and sadly, many people still regard this as normal or even willing, such as Ning Ci, who succumbed to fate in the later period.
Many years have passed in the plot, when Hinata led her lovely children to sweep the grave for Ningji, who except for them would remember what this young man who had tried to resist fate was like, and what can be remembered is the moment when he finally died to protect Hinata.
To be honest, but in terms of excitement and excitement, Naruto's performance in the plot far surpasses him, and the attitude of not giving up coupled with the bloody lines, and the final reversal of the one-hit victory, when he read the manga himself, he was thrilled by Naruto's performance.
However, he was in a good mood at the moment, even if he was not wonderful to win because he was stronger than Ningji in his own right, plus the opening hanging, but listening to Ningji's loud declaration at the end, he no longer regretted this boring competition, because it was very likely that this was the first time he had really made some good changes, rather than repeating what Naruto had done in the past.
"Some birds can't be kept because their feathers are so shiny, and every one of them shines with the light of freedom."
This is the most of his previous life
