Chapter 458: Inari's Family Reunited
From Orochimaru's hand, the long-awaited man in the prime of life was taken over with certainty. Orochimaru, who was concerned about the research process and ran out without saying hello, and couldn't stay out for too long, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the members of the Xiao organization, after counting the quantity of "goods", he hurriedly set off back with this batch of precious "goods" that were of inferior quality but sufficient to make up for "daily consumption".
Of course, in order to arouse unnecessary suspicion during transportation. Orochimaru did not agree to Naruto's suggestion that he would once again use the Flying Thunder God technique to send Orochimaru and the "goods" back directly. Instead, for the sake of conservatism, he chose to find another way to personally transport these "goods". So much so that the bumpy journey along the way is not worth reminiscing for the "goods" with an uncertain future......
Because, after determining the identity of the "goods", he didn't plan to treat these ruffians and hooligans as "people", so it was naturally impossible to bother to think hard about preparing a comfortable means of transportation for them. So much so that after using the anesthetic prepared by himself, all the "goods" were stunned. The big snake pill didn't even bother to look for the boat, so he simply used psychic techniques to summon a few huge pythons. And then use the big mouth of this giant python to hold all the "goods" in their mouths, and act as a warehouse for transporting "goods"!
In this way, the relaxed Orochimaru only needs to use the convenience of the reverse psychic technique to quietly allow himself to return quickly, and at the same time, he will send this batch of precious "goods" that can be called charcoal in the snow to his research base without omission. So much so that it took less than half an hour for Orochimaru and the "goods" to disappear from Naruto's sight.
As for the possible fate of these "goods"...... Even if Naruto thought about it with his toes, he could easily imagine that it was definitely not much easier than being tortured under his own hands. Even among the group of people sent over, under the various human experiments conspired by Orochimaru, in the end, whether there are one or two percent of the number of people who can survive for a long time, I am afraid it will be unknown......
It's just that, as Orochimaru said. As Orochimaru's partner, Naruto, every time he sends the "goods" to Orochimaru, even if he is not a heinous person who provokes the wrath of the heavens, but in their hands, they are definitely stained with the blood of innocent people and have committed all kinds of evil deeds with their own hands. So much so that although he had witnessed the bloody and tragic situation in Orochimaru's base, it was always difficult for Naruto to completely adapt and accept Orochimaru's ongoing research. But for the batches of "goods" that he sent to Orochimaru's hands, he also never derived the slightest sympathy!
After all, in Naruto's eyes......
From the moment your hands are stained with blood, you must be mentally prepared that you will be killed by others!
Because of this, in this Naruto world that seems to be peaceful and comfortable, but in fact it still relies on fists to speak and strength is respected. Naruto, who was completely freed from the shackles of the so-called "fair and just" trial rules, was able to decide the life and death of others by relying on his own likes and dislikes. For this kind of guy who has committed a definite evil deed, and has no intention of repenting, he naturally has the idea that "the wicked have their own evil grinding", and gave it to Orochimaru to deal with it. It is even more impossible to rigidly adhere to the law and system like in the previous life, and bad people do evil, but they get away with it, and even get promoted and get rich. A "fair" ending for good people to do good, but to go to prison and ruin their families! So that these "goods" can use their own blood and lives to repay the sins created by their own hands. In the process, it can make up for the problem that Orochimaru faces from time to time due to the insufficient number of experimental subjects and cannot continue research, and this treatment plan that follows the principle of waste utilization is undoubtedly a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!
"The idiots...... After so many years of being powerful in the country of waves, it's time to go under Orochimaru and taste what true despair is. ”
Thinking of this, Naruto's heart not only did not make a choice for himself, but the many lives that were about to die were derived from the slightest psychological burden. On the contrary, he was refreshed, stretching comfortably, while the corners of his mouth rose slightly, smiling and muttering to himself.
"It's a pity that there are a large number of 'goods' that come to the door without knowing whether they are alive or dead, and it has only happened once or twice so far. It is estimated that the amount of replenishment this time is enough for the Great Snake Pill to be used for two or three months...... Hawkers, the only good news, I'm afraid it's because of the change in the source of the test subject, so that the notoriety of Orochimaru, who has stopped shooting at civilians recently, has shown a slight easing and decreasing trend over the years. When the notoriety is completely erased, it should be able to make Orochimaru and the third generation of Grandpa Hokage, the hard-mouthed and soft-hearted master and apprentice, completely let go of the past mustard, meet each other calmly, and offset the regrets left in their hearts, right? ”
Obviously, knowing that it is impossible to change it day and night, let Orochimaru, who was originally immersed in the development of forbidden ninjutsu, completely get rid of this obsession in his heart. In addition, for the sake of various events that may occur in the future, and considering the fact that Orochimaru is developing a series of forbidden techniques that may become reliable combat power and hole cards, Naruto has adopted the current method, which is relatively soft like gradually guiding others to quit drugs. And then under this silent influence, to achieve the goal of changing Orochimaru's inner thoughts.
And this is another reason why Naruto has become more and more interested in Orochimaru over the years, and gets along quite well with Orochimaru......
"Speaking of which, if you calculate the time, the man who took the first step should have already returned home, right? Then, as long as the bridge is completed, this journey of the country of waves will be completely over......
Between the words, the prohibition of the Dao seals that had been retained in advance at the exit of the cave where the "goods" was stored was lifted one by one. In case you leave the country of waves, you will be accidentally triggered by the residents of the country of waves, causing accidental casualties. Naruto, who put the finishing touches on the work at hand and put an end to it for the time being, activated the Flying Thunder God technique again as the smile on his eyebrows became more and more vigorous. Then in a flash of golden light, only a word that gradually dissipated was left behind, spreading leisurely and gradually in this densely vegetated forest.
"I don't know what kind of expressions Dazna and the others will have when they see this 'big gift' I have prepared...... Hehe, it's really exciting! ”
……
As time passed, the day dawned, and the usual lunch and rest time of the engineering team came. In addition, with the help of the seventh class, the country of waves was completely liberated from the tyrannical rule that had lasted for many years. Dazna, who was in a good mood, brought this lunch break forward by an hour. Then, with the ample time that has been freed up in advance, I will go home with Tsunami and the others, prepare a little something, and then go to the meeting place that has been decided by the residents and have a lively celebration banquet!
"Hurry up, hurry up! Mom, Grandpa! Hurry up! It's rare to have a banquet, and we can't afford to keep everyone waiting too long! ”
Of course, among all the people, who is the most excited, so that on the way home, they are all jumping up and down, and they seem to be particularly excited, must be the Inari, who has completely faded away from the color of self-protection of loneliness and indifference, and has returned to the appearance of an ordinary child. So much so that even when he arrived at the door, the look of excitement and satisfaction on his face did not diminish at all. He turned his head and urged Tsunami and Dazna with a smile on his face. He reached out to himself and put it on the doorknob. And then unexpectedly noticed the fact that the door at the door of the house was only hidden and not completely closed. Instead of waiting for Tsunami and Dazna, he pulled the door open and prepared to step into it with such a big grin.
"Hehe, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first! Let me think about which outfit to wear...... Huh? Mom! When you went out, you forgot to turn it off...... Close...... Close ......"
"Whew...... Call...... Slow, slow down, Inari, there's still a lot of time, don't be in such a hurry. ”
At the same time, Dazna, who followed him, did not know whether it was because he had worked too hard in the morning, or because of the sudden good news, which had made the old man also in a state of excitement, sweat profusely, and his face was much more ruddy than before. Immediately spoiled in response, and found that Inari, who had opened the door of the house, was just standing at the door, but he didn't step into it for a long time, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. So much so that Jinami, who also sensed that something was wrong, looked at each other and passed a look, and then followed Inari's urging words and accelerated his pace again. Then he took three steps and made two steps, and quickly rushed to Inari's side, and while asking out loud in confusion, he subconsciously moved his gaze to the open door with Inari's stunned gesture of looking forward.
"Huh? What's wrong? Inari? I was in such a hurry just now, why didn't I get home now and didn't enter...... Enter...... Scamming ...... Lie......"
It was precisely because of this subconscious action that Dazna was stunned in front of the familiar figure that came into view, like a copy of Inari. And then trembling and whispering, Dazna, who had always been open-minded and cheerful, actually had hot eyes and slipped down two lines of old tears!
Because, Dazna knew that the reason why the door of the house was not closed was not because his daughter was in a hurry and forgot to close it in time. It's because, when the three of them went out to leave, the family quietly ushered in the return of an unexpected person......
And that person was the prime man who Naruto specially commissioned Orochimaru to bring all the way to the country of waves. Or, should I say......
In the Inari family, the pillar of the Inari family who should have died long ago when Daz suddenly invaded the Land of Waves - Inari's most admired and relied on stepfather, Kaisha!
And this is the final surprise that Naruto planned in advance and gave to the Dazna family!
After all, as said before, Naruto, who had no father or mother since he was a child, was fully able to understand how much pain Caishar's departure had caused to Inari. And then empathize, letting Kaisha return is undoubtedly the best "gift" that can be given to this suffering family!
"It's ...... What's going on......"
This was a far unexpected surprise, and even an old fritter like Dazner couldn't help but cry with joy. How could Inari, who was just forcibly pretending to be mature and still a simple child at heart, could endure it? So much so that in Dazna's trembling voice, after gradually regaining consciousness. Inari cautiously moved forward for fear that what he saw in front of him would be some kind of fragile and easily awake hallucinatory dream. While pursing his lips and biting tightly, he whimpered to himself with a crying voice.
"Am I dreaming...... Father...... Daddy He...... It's already ......"
"Huh? Belch...... Yo! Long time no see, Inari! You've grown a lot! Daddy almost doesn't recognize you! ”
Of course, the same as Dazner and others...... For Kaisha, who has always regarded the obsession of reuniting with his relatives as his spiritual pillar in the process of separation over the years, and was able to slowly survive and recover step by step in that rather torturous and arduous recovery process, the excitement that emerged in his heart was obviously no less than that of Inari and others! So much so that under the impact of the joy of the reunion of the lost family, Ling Qiang pretended to be calm and responded to Inari's words warmly and dotingly word by word, and Kaisha, who was also misty in his eyes, trembled and opened his arms towards Inari.
"Come, come, let Daddy take a closer look...... At...... In the years that Dad has been away...... You...... Have you obediently listened to your mother and been a strong little man, okay? ”
“…… Woo——! Daddy——! ”
It's like a world away, but it's still familiar with the warm call. And the broad arms that seemed to have no change compared to the impression, made Inari, who was cautiously tentative, finally unable to hold back the excitement in his heart. Instead, he staggered and trotted all the way and flew straight into Kaisha's arms. Immediately, in that personal contact, under the warmth and security that he really felt, after confirming that the stepfather who had been thinking about him for a long time was indeed back, he naturally buried his face deep in Kaisha's arms and began to cry.
"Good, good, Inari...... Daddy is back. ”
“…… Well! Father...... Father...... Welcome home! ”
Of course, Inari, who was immersed in the unexpected joy of his father's recovery and the reunion of this family that supported each other and worked hard to persevere, naturally did not have any extra thoughts and could notice ......
Outside the door of Dazna's house, Naruto, who was standing on the water out of thin air, was watching all this from afar. After witnessing it with his own eyes, after seeing this warm and touching scene, he was naturally satisfied, pursed his lips slightly, and muttered to himself.
"Now, it's really all over......"
"Then again...... What does it feel like to be able to go home...... That's nice......"
