Chapter 51: Only I Can't Die?
The words are divided into two ends, just as Danzo thinks that he is in touch with Naruto and tries to bring him back to the root organization's base camp, the three generations of Hokage also arrange the relevant personnel in an orderly manner in the Hokage's office building, and at the same time, Kakashi, who has returned to the shadows after completing the mission, took the initiative to ask for battle, remembering the grudge between Kakashi and Danzo, and agreed to give him the right to lead the team, and recruit and select the required subordinates from the elite of the dark department to supplement the combat power, and become the leader of the secret team that assassinates Danzo if necessary...... Orders poured out of the office one after another, preparing for the final battle to come.
But even though the entire Hokage's office building was filled with the tense atmosphere of the mountain rain coming before the start of the war, in the office of the three generations of Hokage, there were still more than a dozen immature figures who were sitting cross-legged in a circle and meditating in the slightest.
“…… Whew, it's finally taken the bait, and the days of suffering and flattery can be regarded as having to survive to the end......" Just as the three generations of Hokage wondered if these little guys who had not spoken for a long time would have fallen asleep, one of them suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled softly, stretching his waist and slowly standing up, the corners of his mouth rose and looked sideways at the three generations of Hokage who turned his head to the side and followed the sound, "The main body has met with Danzang, and now it is being taken away from the central area and moving towards the suburbs...... Judging from the current situation of the group, if you guess correctly, it should be directly brought to the root organization's base camp. ”
Without the slightest warning, he spoke out as suddenly as an unpredictable prophet, and his face was as smiling and complacent as ever, and compared to the tense atmosphere that was almost audible at the moment, it seemed particularly out of place and full of disobedience, but the three generations of Hokage who had been working hard were not surprised by this...... Well, to be precise, it should be the words that were taken aback when the first three generations of Hokage knew about this little guy's unbridled avant-garde ideas and the shocking amount of chakra.
"Really...... It seems that my old fellow can't hold his breath anymore......" Hearing the immature child in front of him who showed a mature and steady appearance that did not match his age, the eyes of the three generations Hokage were full of relief and satisfaction, mixed with a little imperceptible distress and guilt, "Thank you, Naruto...... Your idea really makes the transfer of information a lot faster, and you don't have to worry about leaking it in the process. ”
"Hehe, of course!" Hearing the praise of the three generations of Hokage, the little guy who was already a little proud of his successful plan couldn't help but put his hands on his waist and tilted his head to laugh, and under the change of angle, the brilliant blonde hair and the iconic fox whisker on his face that were the same as the "multiple brothers" around him inadvertently became more and more visible.
There is no doubt that the little ones who look exactly the same in the circle in front of him are the shadow clones that Naruto has quietly placed here in advance and have never lifted when he first came into contact with Danzo...... In addition to these shadow clones placed next to the three generations of Hokage, in the inaccessible depths of the forest in the No. 3 survival training camp where Naruto often frequented, several times the number of shadow clones in the office were hidden and placed in advance.
Of course, creating a shadow clone is not the same as maintaining it for a long time. Maintaining such a large number of shadow clones twenty-four hours a day, Rao inherited the bloodline of his mother's Uzumaki clan and was born with a huge chakra that far surpassed his peers, and it was also quite difficult, and when his initial strength was insufficient, he had to borrow chakras from the nine lamas in his body to use, so that Naruto's body, who seemed to be unaffected at all, secretly possessed his own chakra, and even the shadow clone did not necessarily occupy the chakra that was separated. Invisibly, Naruto greatly reduced the strength of the body, and compared with the average level of his peers, he was almost the same, like an ordinary playful child who did not want to make progress.
As for why Naruto would not hesitate to protect the existence of these shadow clones at the expense of his own strength in gaining the trust of Danzo, it has to start with the very serious question that Naruto has been thinking about for more than three years since he arrived in the Hokage world, and still can't think of a reasonable explanation - whether the technology of the Hokage's world is booming or backward and ignorant.
As we all know, the world of Naruto is not only full of lights, refrigerators, cameras, cameras, and even vivid high-quality soundtracks, but also a variety of scientific and technological products that are just like the real world...... Not to mention, in Naruto's opinion, this world has at least reached the level of modern technology!
But it was precisely because of this fact that the doubts and confusion in Naruto's heart deepened and grew. No matter how Naruto thinks and guesses, he can't figure out the weirdest and weirdest thing in this world......
That is the old-fashioned, troublesome, procrastinating, and extremely easy to delay and even leak information transmission method that has been prevalent for a long time, has never been eliminated and diluted by history, and still serves as the main means of communication in the whole world.
In terms of the degree of technological development on the surface, even the most primitive corded telephone should have been able to be developed and created long ago. However, the truth is that whether it is a landline or a mobile phone, even the oldest corded telephone...... In the huge Konoha Ninja Village, and even in the entire ninja world, there is not a single telephone! Even when he mentioned the concept of the phone call with the third generation Hokage, who was a high-level ruler, he was still confused and unconscious. Even the short-range radio communication equipment used in the original book is only a novel theoretical product that has just been proposed by a niche researcher but is not accepted by the world and even joked into wishful thinking, which is enough to prove that although the technology of this world is not much different from Naruto's previous life, it is surprisingly backward and inconvenient in some specific aspects.
Obviously, in the strange world of maintaining the tradition of cold weapon combat in the modern living environment, and relying on communication and roaring when traveling, if you simply rely on letters, face-to-face communication or try to leave any mark, without exception, you will definitely be noticed by the suspicious old fox of Tuanzang at the first time and all your efforts will be wasted.
Fortunately, although the skill tree of the Hokage world in terms of technology seems to have misunderstood something, with the support of ninjutsu, which is the main development goal of the characteristics of most countries in the world that is generally supported by rapid progress, Naruto really came up with a solution by mistake.
And this is another use of the shadow clone that Naruto came up with - using the convenience of the shadow clone to act as a human microphone, and the nickname is simply ...... Human words.
Maybe it's because Naruto Uzumaki in the original book is known for being extremely good at performing the technique of shadow clone, and there may indeed be a talent bonus in the dark that makes the fit between Naruto and the shadow doppelganger's technique surprisingly high, plus the frequent use of the shadow doppelganger's technique day and night to brush the experience, unknowingly, Naruto mastered the speed of thoroughly learning the shadow doppelganger's technique, and later caught up with the Spiral Pill and the Flying Thunder God's technique.
It is precisely because he thoroughly understands the pros and cons of the shadow clone technique, in addition to the original expectation of increasing manpower to accelerate his cultivation, so that Naruto can ensure that his own ninjutsu cultivation and development progress will not be left behind when he is well-behaved and coquettish with his conscience, in addition to the excellent auxiliary effect that the current situation is more about using the shadow clone technique to be classified as B-level or even the number alone is enough to advance to the unique effect of A-level ninjutsu - that is, when the shadow clone is lifted, All memories of what happened will be kept intact and fed back to all Naruto, including the remaining shadow clones.
Using the shadow clone technique many times to practice, Naruto accidentally discovered that the shadow clone technique can not only transmit the memories that the shadow clone has experienced, and the moment the shadow clone is released, everything the main body has experienced during this period will also be shared with the shadow clone's memories with other shadow clones.
In other words, if these pre-arranged shadow clones are used at the right time, they are basically equivalent to the convenience of humanoid microphones that can be used for a limited number of times but can make face-to-face conversations with people in real time...... It is precisely because of the shadow clone technique that Naruto can send a distress signal at the first time, and after Kakashi's undercover identity is exposed, no one can find out the root organization's base camp, and when the time is tight and the search is unsuccessful, he can lure Danzo into the trap and actively expose the location of the root organization's base camp Only Naruto, who has become a fragrant glutton, will the three generations of Hokage finally resist the unremitting persuasion of this little guy, and reluctantly allow Naruto's dangerous act of using his body as bait.
"Well, then, go tell your being, little one." Naruto's outstanding performance in successfully gaining the trust of Danzou as planned without arousing the slightest suspicion made the Miyome Hokage breathe a sigh of relief, and while feeling proud and guilty about the little guy in front of him who had unknowingly been able to take charge on his own, he smiled and continued, "It's the same as we agreed before...... When we find out the approximate location of the root organization, we can retreat, and we will take over the rest, let ......"
"No, Grandpa Hokage...... If it's just an approximate location, it's still not enough to launch a lightning attack to completely eradicate the root tissue......" Unexpectedly, before the third generation Hokage finished speaking, Naruto in front of him touched the tip of his nose slightly embarrassed, paused for a while, and then continued, "So...... So...... I intend to continue this operation and report back to you on the exact location once the location of the root organization's base camp is determined......"
"Nonsense!" Although he knew that the person in front of him was only a shadow clone and was not here, but hearing that Naruto's bold thoughts decided on his own initiative still made the three generations of Hokage fall into the abyss again after realizing that he was going to go deep into the base camp of the root organization alone, he couldn't help but stand up and shout angrily, and the range of his movements was so large that he knocked the wide seat to the ground with a bang, "Do you know what you're doing, Naruto!" It's your kid's turn to do such a dangerous thing! Get an approximate ...... No, the action is canceled, you give me back now! The village already owes you too much...... If something happens to your child, what kind of face will you let grandpa have to meet your parents in the future! ”
"I guessed you'd say that, three generations...... Grandpa Sunslash. Even though he had expected it, when he saw that the three generations of Hokage even did not hesitate to interrupt his operation for the sake of Naruto's safety, he still couldn't help but feel a little mist in his eyes, and after pretending to be weak and trying to suppress his tears, he turned his head again to look directly at the worried and caring eyes of the three generations of Hokage, and continued word by word, "But you also know that if I retreat at this juncture, I will immediately notice that there is fraud in my suspicious and suspicious style. On the contrary, it will make the Tuan Tibetan dog jump over the wall and accumulate all his strength to resist desperately, which will not only make the surprise attack plan come to naught, but also cause greater casualties and losses...... In order to eradicate the regiment, both sides will lose, and the village that has finally recovered will fall back into a state of decadence, isn't it a waste of the basics? ”
"But you...... You kid went into the Root Organization base alone, do you know what that means? Naruto's words were word-for-word, like a hammer that shook the determination of the three generations of Hokage, but even so, the emotions of the three generations of Hokage, who knew the style of the root organization, still suppressed reason, and after walking closer, he grabbed Naruto's shoulders with both hands, shook his face and roared vigorously, "Once Danzou finds out that something is wrong, you will definitely be caught as a hostage at the first time...... Child, listen to grandpa's advice, come back quickly, this is not a child's house! If you insist on continuing, you will probably die! Know! No! Know! Road! ”
"I know...... That's why I should go, because now only I can get more information that is hidden by the regiment, so that we don't have to sacrifice more lives because of intelligence disadvantage when launching a general attack. The pleading look on the face of the three generations of Hokage between the words made Naruto almost agree, pinching his thigh hard and keeping his sanity with the help of pain, while taking a deep breath to calm his mood, he slowly shook his head with a serious expression.
"But, you...... If you continue like this, you will really die! ”
"My life is my life, so isn't the life of the others involved in the action? Could it be that they can sacrifice and die, but only I can't die? ”
"......" Naruto's retort suddenly made the three generations of Hokage speechless, and his mood became even more complicated and complicated.
If it were in normal times, knowing that Naruto was so deep and mature and steady, the three generations of Hokage would definitely be so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut...... But now, the little guy in front of him is really in danger! If you are a little careless, it will really be like three years ago, and the tragedy of sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person will happen again!
"Grandpa Ape Fei, I know that you care about me and care about me, which makes me very happy...... Rest assured, I assure you that I will take care of myself and return safely. Looking at the amiable and respectable old man in front of him whose lips kept squirming and racking his brains to try to find a reason to persuade him to give up, Naruto's eyes became softer and softer, and he reached out and wrapped his waist around his waist and slowly threw himself into the arms of the three generations of Hokage, bent his eyes and smiled lightly and comforted. Don't forget, I'm a Nine-Tailed Pillar Force...... Even if Tuan Zang wants to be unfavorable to me, he will have to pay a lot of price. ”
"Besides, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the son of heroes, and I'm an extension of my father's and mother's lives...... Until I became the Hokage, I would never die! ”
