Chapter 22: What's the use?
Reality is often more exciting and cruel than fiction.
Naruto Uzumaki's thoughts when he refuted the bastard Mizuki were sad and tearful to hear, but he took it for granted, as if Kakashi was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.
"Really...... Big heart. Mizuki let out a wicked smile.
Naruto was angrily snooping at the cannon, but his eyes were also seeing the smile of the white-haired man opposite.
Not good - Naruto's brain shook, and he suddenly turned around and threw a hard elbow with a thump.
It is undeniable that Naruto Uzumaki did inherit the incomparably swift fighting nerves of his father's Feng Shui Gate, and as soon as he realized that the problem existed, he immediately took action...... The most wrong reaction.
A ray of sunlight seeped through the gloomy underground space, and as the sun rose outside, the golden light became more and more dazzling.
The golden sunlight stained Naruto's face.
The rapid physical reaction made his face still carry the annoyance of a second, but there was already a little panic in his eyes as blue as the sea.
A heavy elbow strike was instantaneous, and then, with a pop, a shadow clone of Mizuki that flashed behind Naruto was instantly broken.
However, Naruto's heart was still as heavy as pressing against a big rock.
One danger is fleeting, and another is coming.
Naruto's pupils retracted suddenly.
I saw a white hand suddenly reach out from the ground, facing Naruto Uzumaki's feet, and grabbed his ankle.
Naruto's elbow hadn't been withdrawn yet, and the centripetal force was in chaos, and there was no time to perform the stand-in technique.
Caught off guard, he stumbled, and his whole body was pulled into the soil by that hand.
"Damn!"
Naruto was buried in the ground of Loulan's underground castle...... Only one head was left exposed.
"Bastard Mizuki! There's a kind of ninjutsu to have a good time with me! Naruto was furious, his body writhing, and he struggled to break free.
Although he was not convinced, Naruto was very shocked in his heart.
After these four years of training, I thought that after mastering the Wind Escape Spiral Shuriken and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, I should be able to fight any strong man, but I didn't expect that after four years, I fought with Mizuki again, but I was defeated by the other party in one face, and - this guy didn't use any high-level ninjutsu!
How so?
Back then, I beat this white-haired guy into a pig's head in three or five strokes!
"Huh."
While Naruto was thinking wildly, Mizuki couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't it surprising? Where did those two shadow clones come from? β
"Huh...... You know, light is sometimes more deceptive than darkness. Just now, a giant flame hand I released at random slapped away the two puppet war puppets, which has already made me have the basic conditions for doing the 'Secret Shadow Clone Technique': first, the spontaneous light of the chakra can emit a strong enough light when it is replenished with a large amount of energy, not to mention that my own chakra attribute is the fire attribute; second, I use my right hand to attack the puppet, isn't there still one hand left? β
Naruto Uzumaki, who was struggling in the dirt not far away, had a stiff face.
"You......" Naruto stared at Mizuki incredulously.
"Yesβ" Mizuki tilted his head with a shallow smile, his long silver-white hair gently hanging down his cheeks, his expression indifferent, "This kind of thing is a one-handed seal...... Is it hard? β
Naruto's lips squirmed, and he was speechless for a long time.
I really wanted to kill himβNaruto was heartbroken.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I accidentally pretended to be forced again, in fact, I don't like this, it's too hateful." It only took Mizuki a second to put aside the indifferent and quiet look on his face and replace it with a grinning and detergent look.
Naruto was already itching with hatred, and shouted sternly, "You bastard! Not only did you take advantage of Iruka-sensei's trust in you, but you also ruined half of Konoha once, you guy...... You guy! How dare you hurt Konoha! How dare you hurt your partner! How dare you ...... Kill 587 innocent villagers who have no grudges against you! Bastard! Beast! I'll be sure to catch you with my own hands! Throw you in Konoha Special Prison! β
Naruto was still scolding.
Mizuki's smile faded.
Then he laughed again without hesitation, and the maniacal smile spread from his mandibles to his cheeks and to his forehead.
Mizuki laughed, laughing a little hideously.
When the entire underground space was filled with this crazy laughter, even Naruto Uzumaki, who was bent on "I can't beat you, but I can definitely say I can kill you", couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The scolding stopped abruptly.
Mizuki laughed as he covered his forehead with his left hand.
A few tears crossed Mizuki's cheeks - he laughed and cried.
Mizuki said to Naruto, "Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki, if you are sharp enough, you should find that there is one person missing here." β
"What?!" Naruto was taken aback, his head bared on the ground and looked around.
At this time, Mizuki walked over and patted Naruto's head with his right hand.
He couldn't hold back a smile and said, "What's the use of you telling me this?" Silly Golden Retriever...... Actually, I'm also a shadow doppelganger. β
Burst.
A puff of white smoke hit Naruto's face.
Naruto looked confused.
"It's so obscene! It's despicable! A wave of scolding resounded through the underground space again.
The not-so-wide skylight that passes through the subterranean space is a huge town perched atop a barren desert.
The newborn town seems to be thriving.
The only downside is that basically, there is not a single living person to be found.
The sun is still shining, silently shining on the earth.
People praise the sun and don't skimp on any beautiful words, far from because it gives life to mankind, but because this huge and unreachable star, before the advent of science, was the most majestic object that man could observe, and nothing could compare with it.
The sun was the thing that challenged the human imagination the most before the advent of astronomy.
A vague figure suddenly appeared on the ground.
Swift shadows cut the sunlight falling from the sky into colorful fragments.
In an instant, the blur turned into reality.
The sound of footsteps sounded in the empty streets of Loulan.
A white-haired man was carrying a sleeping red-haired girl on his back, walking slowly between a cluster of high-rise buildings.
Looking around this nascent town, Mizuki discovers that this place is full of malice towards the real civilization.
The Romanesque white-slate streets, the French-style (i.e., Gothic) high-rise buildings with pointed arches, the Chinese-Tibetan style clothing stores β there is not a single element of Japanese culture.
"Can anyone tell me who designed this town? Is he the devil? β
Mizuki shook his head and chuckled.
Footpot chicken is really interesting, it actually embeds so many foreign cultures into one animation.
Mizuki walked, and suddenly felt the little female life behind him move slightly.
He was stunned.
It wasn't because of the awakening of the young girl Sally, but because of the loud cheers of people in the distance...... and a group of masked men jumping between tall buildings above him who were out of place in Loulan.
Despite the speed of those men and the obvious use of teleportation, he could still clearly see the leader of the masked people, flashing by as they jumped...... Blonde hair.
