Chapter 106: Ember

That's right, the reason why Danzo cares about Naruto, even at the cost of the lives of his elite subordinates, is not just for the secret of Naruto's resurrection from the dead, he has an ambition that has always been hidden deep in his heart, that is, to manipulate the Nine-Tails.

Since when, in his heart, the Nine-Tails has been a symbol of strength?

Yes, it should have been when that terrifying man, the strongest Uchiha ever, Madara Uchiha, attacked Konoha.

When he first saw the earth-destroying power of the Nine-Tails, as well as the proud figure standing above the Nine-Tails, he did not hug his head in fear like the little friends around him, but burst out with an irrepressible desire in his heart.

He longed to be like that man, to have this kind of power that everyone feared, so that his dreams and ambitions would become within reach.

From then on, he had decided in his heart that having the power to manipulate the Nine-Tails was the prerequisite for him to get everything.

He has been pursuing this path all his life, seizing the eyes of the water, destroying the Uchiha clan, and even providing Orochimaru with materials for human experiments, just to be able to fuse the cells of the original Hokage.

He had done all of this, and all the kaleidoscope writing wheels and the first generation cells needed to control the Nine-Tails were now implanted in his body, and everything was ready, as long as he brought back the dying and struggling human pillar force in front of him, his dream for many years was about to come true.

"Coming back from the dead, isn't it, hmph, the little imp of the human pillar power, it's best that you can really come back to life after drawing out the nine tails, if you die like this, your corpse will be used as a toy for that kid from Orochimaru." Easily dodging Naruto's constant throws, Danzo's exposed one-eyed eyes were a mixture of greed and malice.

Yes, he didn't really plan to cooperate with Orochimaru from the beginning, just like a child only makes a choice, whether it's the secret of resurrection or the Nine-Tails, he wants it all.

This is also the reason why he was stuck at this time and sent someone to arrest Naruto, not only because he had never trusted Orochimaru, but also because he couldn't let the other party's plan succeed, after all, the next generation of Hokage, he had already predetermined it in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to witness Orochimaru's defeat with his own eyes, he would have come here in person.

Fortunately, the result made him quite satisfied, his best friend who had suppressed him for many years had gone to another world, and Orochimaru was also hit hard by the last counterattack of Hichi, so he had to retreat in a hurry.

At the same time, at the cost of three squads, the Nine-Tails became at his fingertips, today was his lucky day, and at this moment, Tuan Zang almost wanted to look up to the sky and smile, and the mood of harvesting the fruit was unexpectedly sweet.

"Boy, whether you can wake up after today or not, the Nine-Tails are destined to be the old man!" Ignoring Naruto's dying throes, he stepped forward quickly, and Danzou grabbed Naruto's neck with his left hand and lifted him up.

The excitement of years of long-cherished Nai Cheng almost made his legs tremble slightly, and at this moment, it was as if he had seen the coronation scene where he became the strongest Hokage in Konoha had ever seen.

"Uh......"

Compared to the excited Danzo, Naruto's side was completely the feeling of ice and fire, his neck was captured, his feet were weakly pedaling under suffocation, and the weakness after the battle made him unable to use even the most basic instantaneous technique, but as long as he still had a little strength, he would not be unable to avoid such an obvious grasp.

The tiger falls in Pingyang, and the dragon swims in shallow water, but that's it, since he embarked on the road of ninja, he never thought that one day he would be mentioned casually like a monkey.

As his consciousness gradually blurred, there seemed to be a voice in his heart persuading him at this time.

In a daze, Naruto began to feel that what the voice said made sense, with his current state, what was the point of continuing to struggle, it was better to give up waiting for the opportunity for the time being, maybe the opportunity to escape would appear later.

Now as long as he relaxes his consciousness and sleeps, he will no longer experience these pains, he has been crumbling long enough, and he has done everything he can, why bother to work so himself, after coming to this world, he doesn't know how many people he has killed, even if he can't wake up again, there is nothing to complain about.

"That's right! Whatever, this wave is not a loss anyway, let's sleep first, go to his conspiracy theories, go to his other gods...... Wait, don't be a god?! He was in a daze, and suddenly, his eyelids, which had been heavy a second ago, opened suddenly, and he thought of some possible Naruto biting his lip, and with the pain, his vision that had turned gray quickly became clear.

I saw that at this time, he met Tuan Zang's slightly surprised gaze, grinned with blood foaming on his mouth, and said inexplicably: "But, I refuse!" ”

"My favorite thing to do in my life is to say no to the voice in my heart, ahahahaha!"

Someone grabbed his neck and lifted his whole person up, and his bitten lip was still dripping blood, but Naruto, who looked like this, laughed wildly, and such a crazy gesture couldn't help but feel cold in his heart even if it fell in the eyes of people from a city like Danzang.

Although I don't know what tricks the human pillar power imp in his hand will do, he feels inexplicably ominous in his heart that Tuan Zang still doesn't want to hear such crazy laughter again.

"Be quiet, Nine-Tails."

With the force of his hand, Danzo wanted to knock Naruto unconscious.

It's a pity that he was a beat slower after all, because before that, Naruto who was hanging in the air had already grabbed a ball of soul chakra in his hand again.

Since there is nothing to lose, then he is not afraid to bet again, whether it is life or death, it depends on the arrangement of God and fate, but whether to bet on this or not, it is up to him to decide!.

"Poof!"

With the determination to become a benevolent person if he didn't succeed, Naruto once again crushed the soul chakra in his hand.

The warm burning object that appeared in his hand, even if it only radiated heat to him, immediately made him feel an indescribable comfort, as if the pain and exhaustion of his previous time were being dissipated by the heat.

Like the weapons before him, the moment this note was imprinted into his mind, he instinctively grasped how to use it.

"Hah! Is it finally on my side this time? Naruto laughed in mid-air, and immediately followed the instinctive guidance to squeeze the warm embers in his hand.

"Boom-"

Almost instantly, a never-before-seen flame poured into Naruto's body, bursting into layers of sparks on his body, and this sudden change made Danzou not even have time to exert his strength, and immediately let go and instinctively retreated in panic.

Prudence is a ninja virtue, but sometimes it's not necessarily right to be too cautious, like at this moment.

At the same moment that Danzou retreated, the strange flames that erupted on Naruto's body converged in an instant, and he strangely calmed down.

The word calm didn't seem to be the right word to describe the flames, but the embers that were attached to Naruto at this time were.

Like a piece of paper burning, the subtle and bright flames flowed irregularly on his body, but when he looked closely, he could see that when the flames flowed, Naruto's clothes and even skin showed no signs of being burned, as if the flames were just phantoms.

But at this time, Naruto himself could really feel this power, after he crushed the embers, although the pain left from the previous battle did not completely disappear, but those exhaustions were swept away by the flames that rushed into his body, and most of his physical strength was instantly restored, and even the sequelae of the previous Wind Escape Chakra mode magically disappeared.

Everyone knows that the chakra is the product of the harmony of physical energy and spiritual energy, and since his physical strength and spirit have recovered, naturally, his empty chakra before is also full at this time.

A smile of surprise appeared on the corner of his mouth, Naruto didn't say a word, and immediately sealed his hands while Danzang was in doubt.

"Merry Winding!"

Needless to say, in the face of an opponent of this level of Tuanzang, it is the most basic common sense to go all out at the beginning, and the wind escape chakra mode will be opened again!

The whole person dispersed like smoke, and almost at the moment when his figure disappeared, the straight sword of Ilusil that was still stuck in the ground not far away disappeared at the same time.

The embers that opened in the end can be said to have saved his life, and it stands to reason that he should run for his life with all his strength at this time, after all, the embers are only raising the upper limit of life, which is reflected in reality, but it has restored some of his state, and it is far from the peak level.

It's just that Naruto also has his considerations.

First of all, the duration of the Wind Escape Chakra mode is only thirty seconds, and if the enemy doesn't have a chakra, he can completely use stealth to calmly retreat.

But Tuan Zang can't, the writing wheel eye and the large-scale wind escape are what he is good at, the former makes him have nothing to hide, as for the latter, no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than the vacuum wave that is almost synchronized with the sound.

If he turns around and runs away at this time, and the other party has three vacuum waves, wouldn't this ember be in vain?

Therefore, in this case, it is better to run away than to meet the enemy head-on, at least in the short and medium distances, he has absolute confidence in his reaction and speed, and can predict the opponent's movements before performing the spell, and then deal with it.

Besides, even if he wasn't perfect, he wasn't completely out of chance, and he had two crucial strengths.

One is that his Wind Escape Chakra mode is extremely restrained by the group of fellow Wind Escape Ninjas, although there are only three chances, but as long as he catches it well, one time is enough to change the tide of the battle.

The second, and most important, is the information gap between him and Tuanzang.

The battle between Tuan Zang and Erzhuzi's classmates in the middle and late stages of the plot is really classic, even if he wants to forget it, he can't forget it, so he knows all the methods of Tuan Zang, including wind escape, psychic beasts, and several writing wheel eyes used to cast Izanagi under the bandage of his right hand, etc.

With such an advantage in his hands, even if he can't kill the opponent, but if he is seriously injured or forced to be unable to pursue, he thinks it should not be difficult to do.

With this in mind, Naruto immediately launched an offensive.

"Ice Escape, Ice Wheel Pill!"

Leaping into the air above Tuanzang's head, the straight sword of Ilusil in his hand danced in a spiral, and the frost intertwined on the sword body instantly turned into an ice dragon of more than ten meters, roaring towards Tuanzang below.

At the same time, the tip of Naruto's sword was a little at the tail of the ice dragon, and he used the air to change direction, exerting the speed of the wind and wind to the limit, before the ice dragon arrived, others had already appeared behind Danzang, and the ice sword in his hand turned into a crystal white streamer, stabbing straight into the back of Tuanzang's heart.

This is what he really looks like when he takes out all his strength, whether it is my Ai Luo or the root people, if it weren't for his limited volume or toxin control with the other party, he is confident that no one can really survive the triad in his hands.

"It's done!"

Under the extreme compression, time seemed to slow down, the roaring ice dragon was still in mid-air, the tip of his sword was already close to within a meter of Danzang, Naruto's eyes flashed with excitement, he knew that Danzang at this time had to make a choice, whether to immediately turn around and deal with his sword or the ice dragon that was about to fall on top of him.

The seal of the chakra eye in the right hand is intact, which means that unless the chakra eye that Danzo is willing to stop the water at this time is blinded, it is impossible to use Izanagi now.

However, no matter how he chooses, there will definitely be a great flaw, and then the next will come from his stormy pursuit.

In the short and medium distance, as long as he catches the opportunity, Tuanzang will not want to use a ninjutsu.

However, Danzo's choice was far beyond his expectations.

"Wind Escape, Vacuum Great Jade!"

As if he didn't know that Naruto was behind him, he cast a seal very calmly, and the wind ball the size of Shouzuru Shi's empty bullet gushed out of his mouth, and collided head-on with the falling ice dragon.

"What do you mean?" Naruto's eyebrows moved when he saw this, and he said in his heart that this person couldn't find death, but the movement in his hand did not change, but he handed over the ice sword in his hand faster, and directly took the opponent's vital point.

But then something he didn't expect happened.

At the same time that the tip of his sword was about to pierce his clothes from behind Tuanzang, his whole person's time seemed to be frozen, maintaining the posture of the former conflict stabbing and freezing in place.

"This is?!"

At this moment, there was a loud bang in the sky overhead, and the ice dragon made by the Vacuum Jade and the Ilusil Straight Sword canceled each other out, turning into ice crystals falling like snowflakes in the sky, causing the temperature of the area where the two of them were at this moment to plummet.

However, Naruto's heart was colder than that.

Looking at the slowly extending black spell on his sword-holding outstretched arm, the corners of his mouth twitched bitterly twice, and finally only let out a dry voice: "Self-karma spell? When are you ......"

"In the beginning." Tuan Zang didn't even look back, only said lightly.

"Was that then......" Naruto almost immediately flashed to his mind the image of himself being grabbed by the neck and lifted by Danzo.

Thinking about the cause and effect, he smiled both in loss and with a little relief, and the original fighting spirit in his eyes quickly dimmed at the same time.

"Curse marks, bondage, hehe, I'm really an idiot to be in the same place twice."

Remembering that last time he died in Orochimaru's Shadow Snake Bondage, this time he was trapped under Danzo's self-karma curse, and it turned out that he was the one who never grew.
