Konoha sixty years, March.

It's a normal day for the people of the Ninja Continent. But for some students of the ninja school, it is a very important day, because today is the graduation exam, and whether you can become a ninja or not depends on your performance today.

Before the exam, everyone was nervous, especially the students who did not achieve satisfactory results in several subjects.

On this tense and exciting day, the Konoha Forest is still as clean as it used to be. But at this time, a black dot appeared on the straight road outside the gate, and the black dot was slowly getting bigger, and as the distance approached, the black dot showed a human shape, which was a person.

He walked slowly, as if admiring the beauty of the mountain and lake, and his strange appearance attracted the attention of the ninja lurking in the surrounding forest.

Standing in the tree, Nakan shinobi stared at the visitor, he wore a forehead guard on his forehead, and his eyes followed the people on the road, and then, he looked away, and asked his companion who was squatting on the tree on his side, "Do you know this person?" It seems to be our Konoha's. ”

Another ninja carefully looked at the pedestrians on the road, was silent for a moment, and shook his head at his friend: "No impression. Maybe a long-term mission away! Seeing that he is so young, he must be remembered when he comes back. Since it's a Konoha ninja, let's just notify the news and let's go. ”

The man disappeared with a "swoop", and his swift figure brought up a few green leaves from the treetops.

Seeing their companions leave, the ninja didn't delay, and their mission was to patrol and prevent anyone from sneaking in. The guy walking in the middle of the road was already seen by the ninjas standing above the Konoha gate, and they just followed the rules and went up to check when they found strange pedestrians.

It's very close to Konoha here, and even if you are slow on the road, you can reach the Konoha gate in half an hour.

The few shinobi who were guarding here glanced at the people standing at the door, stared at the forehead guards on each other's foreheads, looked at each other, and found that they didn't know each other, and immediately someone walked up and asked, "May I ask who are you?" Did you come back to hand in the mission? ”

The man exhaled lightly and said to the ninja, "My mission should have been completed, but I didn't come back until I had an accident halfway." Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Yanagi Sword Shadow, isn't it almost unrecognizable, Uncle Weaving. ”

"Hmm. You...... You are the Shadow of the Sword?!! The middle-aged ninja known as Uncle Weaving looked surprised, he took a few steps back and looked up and down repeatedly, and finally saw a familiar aura on the other party's face.

After discovering that the other party was really a sword shadow, Weaving Yi stepped forward and punched him in the chest, "Good boy, the change is really big, it's only been two years." By the way, I forgot, I need to tell the others the news, you go home first, I'll inform the others, and everyone will be happy. ”

Standing here is the sword shadow who has been away from Konoha for two whole years, he has changed very much, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he disappeared, it was only about one meter six, and when he reappeared after two years, his height was already more than one meter seventy-five, plus the change in temperament, no wonder the ninja named Ori couldn't recognize it. After all, when Sword Shadow stayed in the village, he didn't meet each other more than twenty times a year.

"Thank you so much. But uncle, I have to go to the Hokage Building, I haven't been back to the village for so long, I have to report it. ”

"Ahh That's fine. I'm going to take a leave of absence and tell Kuishan and Achina about your return. Listening to Yanagi Jianying's words, Orii nodded in agreement.

Kenkage stepped into Konoha and looked up at the Hokage Rock for the first time.

"Konoha ah. I'm back again! ”

…………

In the Hokage's office, Yagyu Kenkage stood at the desk of the third generation.

"Let's talk about it. Where have you been these two years! The three generations looked at the teenager standing in front of him, although in terms of height, the other party was already the same as an adult, but in the eyes of the three generations, this was still a child.

It's just that as a ninja, even if it's a child, you have to carry something that adults can't carry.

The sword shadow didn't speak, just closed his eyes and stood there silently.

The three generations of Hokage wondered in their hearts, but they didn't speak, but quietly waited for each other's answers.

Suddenly, the eyes of the three generations who were leaning back in the chair and smoking were wide-eyed, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette gun had fallen to the ground, and he looked at the figure of the sword standing there. The Adam's apple made a swallowing motion, and only after a while did he speak in an incredulous voice: "Immortal mode, have you become an immortal?" ”

Yes, the answer given by Sword Shadow is to enable the Immortal Mode. Now he has moon-white runes on his skin, as if he was born there, and these runes are full of different beauty. If the sword shadow strips off his clothes, the three generations can find out that these things that are the same as tattoos are spells.

Yanagi Sword Shadow smiled, but did not show the surprise of seeing the three generations, nodded and said, "Yes." When I got out of trouble, I came across this opportunity, so I didn't return to Konoha as soon as possible. Of course, no matter what the reason, it can't excuse me, and I'm willing to accept the punishment! ”

Leaving a dangerous situation and not returning is a betrayal, for whatever reason.

Recovering from his surprise, the third generation picked up the cigarette stick, looked at the sword shadow with a deep gaze, and said, "Sword shadow." You're really scaring me. You're right, you still have to be punished, but - where did you practice immortal arts, is it Takiji Cave? ”

Speaking of Takiji Cave, the expressions of the three generations are different.

Sword Shadow ignored the other party's temptation and told him the general situation of Sleepless City.

The City of Sleepless, if you don't count the barriers, is located at the bottom of the sea at a depth of nineteen thousand meters, deep trenches, like countless skyscrapers stacked on top of each other, these are the habitats of the primeval algae.

Nature's wrestling wonders are no match for even the tallest buildings in the modern world.

In the center of Nightless City, there is a giant primeval algae with a diameter of 1,500 meters, and the grandfather of Brownstone said that it is the ancestor of all primeval algae, and it has survived for an unknown number of years.

The giant primeval algae emitted a milky white light, which was full of life energy, and when illuminated by it, people instantly became spiritual, as if the haze that hung over their heads was cleared.

Because there is no sun, the way the time is calculated here is the time when the giant archaean algae glows.

The Giant Algae usually glows, but it converges every ten years, and at this time, the other Arches that inhabit the City of Sleepless will have to show their brilliance and make the light of the City of the Sleepless never go out.

It would be about a year before the ancestor of the primeval algae shines again, and the archaeotic algae also set this time as the "one year old".

In other words, the completion of one year is equivalent to eleven years in the ninja world. Once upon a time, Brownstone said that they could only learn the Offensive Immortal Technique when they were over twenty years old, and that the calculation method of the human world was two hundred and ten years......

"You mean that the place is gradually detached from our world? Not even you can summon the creatures there! ”

Facing the incredulous eyes of the three generations, Jian Ying calmly replied, "Yes." The ancestor of Sleepless City had built the barrier since ancient times, and now he almost made the barrier one with himself. You can see by the way I look, for you I've been away for two years, but in my calculations, I've been out for three to four years, and time flows at a different rate there. According to their calculations, it will probably take another thousand years, not more than three thousand years at the latest, and they will be able to completely break away from this world and create a new world with the location of the Sleepless City as the core. ”

"I also listened to what they said, and it will take a thousand years anyway." Sword Shadow shrugged.

The index finger of the third generation tapped on the table, and after a moment, he spoke: "You go back first." I'll have someone come to you later, and you're going to have to cooperate with them, you know? ”

"Understood."

Waiting for the sword shadow to leave, the three generations of Hokage took a deep breath, "Nightless City? Does this world really exist? Ay...... According to his description, even if we reach the City of Sleepless, it is impossible to enter it. ”

The inheritance of the three mysterious holy places is Jiraiya Tsunade Orochimaru, and now there is a more mysterious sleepless city, which is hard to believe for three generations for a while. He was afraid that the sword shadow would go to the Takiji Cave, once he cultivated the immortal art there, it would mean that the other party was in collusion with Orochimaru, and no one knew his disciple's mind better than him.

Putting aside the worries here, when Jian Ying returned home, there were more than a dozen people gathered in the courtyard.

Elders like Uncle Weaving, Teacher Luo Yuanming, Uncle Kuishan, and Uncle Archina are all here.

Just searched everyone, and Jian Ying only saw the figure of March Aoika, "Not in Konoha!" He didn't feel Nagata's chakra, it seemed that he was out on a mission, and so was Mr. McKay.

Jian Ying stepped forward to say hello to the elders one by one, and roughly talked about the two-year experience, but he didn't say that he became an immortal, this kind of thing is still good to wait for the three generations to be announced, and he has to wait for the punishment notice when he returns home, Jian Ying's current temperament, although he will not do anything to make himself miserable so that the three generations of subordinates will be merciful, but he will not be too arrogant, which makes people who look at him unpleasant even more disgusted.

Disgust, yes.

As he left the Hokage Building, he clearly felt the malice directed at him.

It wasn't until the success of the immortal cultivation that the sword shadow knew that the ability to sense the malice of others was not an ability that could be possessed by becoming an immortal, and this ability was very rare even among immortals.

However, through research, creatures with this ability can be enhanced to evolve into an even more powerful "mind-reading".

When he learned about this, Yanagi Kenkage suddenly remembered that Jirai, who was also an immortal, did not have this ability, and Naruto Uzumaki's ability was inherited from his mother.

Now, surrounded by an emotion of concern for himself, Sword Shadow feels good. This kind of beauty reminded him of his relatives in his previous life, but this thought passed in a flash, and excessive remembrance could only stop him, not to mention that there were things to deal with next.

In the evening, everyone was gone, and only Luo Shenming remained.

Achina and Kuishan originally wanted to stay, but they were stopped by Luo Shenming, and Sword Shadow thanked each other from the bottom of his heart.

"Now that everyone is gone, the trouble will definitely wait for a while, let's talk about it, what is your strength." Luo Mingming stared at him and said.

Jian Ying looked at Luo Yuanming with curious eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Teacher, what do you know?" ”

After a few seconds, Luo Yuanming slowly shook his head, he walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, "Although you just said about the experience of the past two years, there is one thing that I know very well. With the total amount of mental power you had two years ago, if you can't completely control it during this time, it will inevitably affect your body. But at this time, there is nothing abnormal in your body, so I am sure that either you can already control that huge mental power, or you have made a breakthrough. Tell me, how do you feel now? ”

So that's it! There was no expression on his face, but Jian Ying breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He was very happy to hear Mr. Luo Mingming say this.

After learning the shadow clone, Yanagi Sword Shadow has been using the shadow clone to help him cultivate, including the secret art of the Falling Clan. Although he paid more attention to Chakra's control, this spiritual power cultivated by the secret art of the Luoshen clan was too huge and too domineering, even if his control over Chakra was also first-class in the upper ninja, he still couldn't control this power.

However, when he was cultivating immortal arts in Nightless City, the elder of the Ancient Zao clan, that is, the father of Brownstone's grandfather, gave him guidance, and after just observing the body of the Yanagi Sword Shadow, he optimized the secret technique of the Luoshen clan, so that he could better control the spiritual power entrenched in his brain.

"Teacher Luoluo, this is what the senior has rewritten the secret technique of the Luoshen clan. Check it out! After hesitating for a moment, Sword Shadow took out a scroll from his body and handed it to the teacher.

Luo Yuanming looked at the scroll in front of him, then at the sword shadow, didn't say anything, took the scroll and opened it to look at it on the spot.

Slowly, the light in Luo Mingming's eyes grew brighter and brighter, but when he put the scroll down, the light disappeared again. He closed the scroll, held it in his hand and looked at it, silent.

Sword Shadow didn't speak, he didn't teach the secret art of the Falling Clan to others, but this kind of thing is really hard to believe, because the content of the scroll record is a modification of the secret technique of the Falling Clan, it makes the Sword Shadow who originally saw the limit look forward to a wider world, although the danger has increased, but everything recorded on it is still perfect in his opinion, and those words are like coming from a person who has studied the secret art of the Falling Clan for decades.

"Teacher?" Seeing that Luo Shenming had been staring at the scroll in a daze, Jian Ying asked in a low voice.

Luo Yuanming didn't sink into his thoughts, and when he heard his voice, his eyes turned to Jian Ying.

"This... Did an elder you know write it? ”

"Yes."

"He's strong?"

Sword Shadow recalled the endless battle in the opponent's illusion, and a wry smile appeared on his indifferent face, nodding his head, and saying in a deep voice, "Very strong." There was no way to fight back. ”

Luo Shenming slowly nodded his head and said word by word: "Yes." Those who can study these contents are indispensable. It's a pity, this thing may only apply to you. ”

Jian Ying was stunned, he was slightly surprised, looked at the teacher and said, "Teacher, you are ......"

Luo Shenming handed the scroll back to Jian Ying, stretched out his hand to stop it, and let him calm down for a while, and then said: "The content in this is more domineering than the original version of the Luo Shen clan, only because of your strong control over Chakra and the particularity of your body, this power is controlled." It's an extension of the limits of the arcane arts of the Cause of the Falling Clan, but we... It is estimated that nine out of nine people do not see the limit. Rest assured. I've memorized this scroll, but your teacher and I have been studying the secret art for decades, and the things on it still revolve around the secret art of the fall. ”

Hearing him say this, Sword Shadow immediately withdrew the scroll. Come to think of it, now the people of the Luoshen clan are cultivating the secret art adapted by the second generation Hokage, and this kind of danger is even higher than the original version, but it is too difficult to promote.

At this moment, a ninja wearing an animal mask appeared in the courtyard, and without waiting for the sword shadow to speak, he said, "Yagyu sword shadow, three generations of adults have love, come with me." ”
