Chapter 167: Can't Leave

It was dark, and the night sky was dotted with stars. Vertex updates are the fastest

Far from the island of exile, in the depths of the sea, there is a mysterious place that exudes a rainbow of colors.

Under the illumination of the seven-colored light, you can see many points of light, which are surging towards a cliff, like fireflies in summer.

The world was silent, and Naruto Uzumaki sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his eyes closed, and his expression extremely serious.

Perhaps because he was in the uninhabited deep sea, the natural energy around him was extremely strong, and when he approached him, a layer of fog visible to the naked eye was formed.

With a slight frown, Naruto Uzumaki carefully controlled the natural energy, and little by little it drilled into his empty meridians.

In his body, the black shadows on the Nine-Tails and the Book of Seals were all watching him, afraid that something unusual had happened to him.

Whenever there was an overabundance of natural energy, the Nine-Tails would help Naruto absorb the excess and maintain balance in his body.

Because of his practice in the immortal mode, Naruto Uzumaki got started quickly, and all he had to do now was to integrate natural energy into every cell, thereby transforming his body into a true immortal body.

Only when he cultivates the body of an immortal will the chakra in his body undergo a qualitative change and become a complete immortal chakra.

His previous immortal chakra was a mixture of natural energy and chakra, and it was not pure, so there was a risk of frog petrification. And now, as the Book of Seals says, nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but Naruto Uzumaki is not in a hurry, this new power needs to be slowly nurtured until it is born.

After nearly an hour, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't sit still, this kind of practice was much more difficult than expected.

His concentration is sufficient, and his mind can meet the requirements of cultivation, but it takes a lot of mental and physical strength to maintain balance all the time.

After an hour, he had a strange feeling of being hollowed out, not only physically, but also mentally, so he had to stop and rest.

The whole body was liberated from the state of cultivation, thirst, hunger and fatigue all followed, and Naruto Uzumaki pulled himself together and decided to find something to eat.

When he came to the underwater world, he was teleported by the black hedron and didn't bring anything to eat, and now he was suddenly hungry.

At the thought of eating, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing but plants in this underwater world.

The mask cut off the sea from the outside world, and not even a small fish could get in.

"I'm not going to starve here, am I?"

Thinking of this, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized a deeper problem.

He didn't see the black hedron for teleportation inside, he was able to be teleported in because of the black hedron, and now, there was no black hedron inside.

So how is he going to get out?

The black shadow was still suspended on the Book of Seals, as if reading Naruto Uzumaki's thoughts, and he said lightly, "Don't worry, you won't die of hunger." ”

With that, with a move of his misty hand, several sea fish fell from the sky and landed in front of Naruto Uzumaki.

"My current ability is limited, I can only guarantee your food, as for wanting to go out, I can only wait for the fruit of the Divine Tree to ripen."

Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief, the fruit of the divine tree had already grown, and it shouldn't be long before it matured.

The black shadow smiled, "It's not long, it's almost two years away." ”

“……”

The fish that Naruto Uzumaki had just grasped in his hand suddenly slipped and said in surprise, "What? Two years? ”

"That's right, there is a long period of time for the fruit of the Divine Tree to ripen, don't look at it like it is now, in fact, it has taken hundreds of years to grow to this size."

Naruto Uzumaki's heart thumped and suddenly lifted. Two years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and who knows what will happen to the ninja world.

Outsiders enter the world, Akatsuki is on the move, Itachi and Sasuke are adrift, and the lustful fairy seems to go out to find out Akatsuki's movements, and Naruto Uzumaki fears that something will happen sooner.

"No, two years is too long, I can't wait!"

He looked worried, seemed to have forgotten his exhaustion and hunger, and his heart flew back to Konoha Village completely.

"It's useless for you to worry about it, and if the fruit doesn't ripen, you won't have a chance to leave." The black shadow said coldly.

Naruto Uzumaki looked at him with both eyes and said, "You must have a way, right?" ”

The black shadow was silent for a moment, as if considering something, and then said, "Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you can open the immortal body in advance, and then provide the divine tree with the energy it needs to grow, so that it can accelerate its growth, then you will have a chance to leave early."

The apprehension on his face turned firm, and Naruto Uzumaki responded, "Okay, that's it." ”

The movements in his hands quickened in vain, and Naruto Uzumaki picked up a few fish, then walked outside, and quickly started a fire to roast them.

Fortunately, the area outside is relatively large, almost a medium-sized park, and there is a river that provides Naruto Uzumaki with fresh water to drink, and life is at least guaranteed.

After a meal, Naruto Uzumaki climbed into bed, and instead of continuing his practice, he was ready to recuperate his spirit and start again tomorrow.

Even if you are worried, you can't panic, otherwise it will be too much.

Time passed quietly in Naruto Uzumaki's practice, and instead of growing, his strength continued to decline, because he needed to rebuild new powers.

The original chakra in his body was discarded, and the cells began to merge with pure natural energy, and his body was constantly changing, developing and evolving towards the body of an immortal.

The Book of Seals was not idle, it taught the Nine Lamas a technique, and the proud fox's eyes lit up and he saw a new direction.

So the Nine-Tails also secretly practiced in the sealed place, and one man and one beast were growing up with each other, waiting for the day when they would go out of the underwater world.

……

Konoha Ninja Village.

The Shimura group hid behind a few people and walked towards the gate of Konoha.

His face was indifferent, and he showed one eye that ignored everything, and few people could enter his eyes.

Suddenly, he looked at the high wall of the South Gate of Konoha where a girl's figure was standing.

"The little ghost of the Hyuga family, is it called Hinata?"

Tuan Zang frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice to the few people behind him, "Isn't there any news of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force yet?" ”

"Lord Tuanzang, we have contacted intelligence officers in various places, but we have not found any trace of the Nine-Tails." One of the people behind him replied.

"Hmph, it's been almost two years since that little ghost left, and when I come back this time, I'll talk to the fifth Hokage."

Several people then left Konoha Village.

Hinata Hinata was wearing a green coat from her shinobi, and her sparkling white eyes were looking south, full of worry.

"Naruto-kun, no matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you to come back!"
