Chapter 312 Naruto’s Resurrection
Under the leadership of Konoha's ANBU.
Yukito, Kirabi, Gaara and the other jinchūriki stood up with confused expressions on their faces, and walked out of the underground secret room in a daze.
As soon as they left, they immediately forgot what happened underground and completely lost the memory of the past day.
Because they broke the illusion—the evil spirits of heaven.
After awakening the Rinnegan, as Zan's eye power became more powerful, he used this technique to steal the memories of millions of people in Konoha, not to mention stealing the memories of just a few Jinchuuriki. , not to mention.
Ground.
After the outsider demon absorbed the chakra of the eight tailed beasts, a row of eyes on its face opened and closed one after another, leaving only the last eye that had not been opened.
Just one Nine Tails is missing, or in other words, half one will do.
After everyone left, Duan quietly appeared above the head of the demon statue again.
He has established a connection with this heretic demon. No matter where he is, he can sense its situation at any time and teleport over.
This means that no one can **** the golem from the severed hand anymore, unless the other party kills him first.
“Hokage-sama.”
At this time, Kakashi appeared and respectfully reported to Danhui, "Sarutobi Hiruzen is also ready."
"oh?"
Hearing the words, Duan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
In a room, the light is dim.
Uzumaki Naruto's body lay quietly on the ground, his eyes were wrapped with white bandages, his skin was pale, and his body was hard and cold.
"Naruto…"
Konan knelt down next to Naruto's body and reached out to caress the latter's cheek. The cold touch without any warmth made her heart feel colder.
Can this...really bring the dead back to life?
Suddenly.
With a creak, the door was pushed open and two people came in.
It is Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Dan.
Xiaonan's eyes suddenly narrowed and she stared at Duan, as if to remind him not to forget the promise he made.
But Duan looked like it had nothing to do with him. He walked straight to the sofa nearby, sat down, and crossed his legs.
"you…"
Konan frowned and was about to say something when Sarutobi Hiruzen came to her without saying a word.
"You must be the Angel of Akatsuki. Jiraiya told me about you and said that Konan is a kind woman. Please go to the side to rest for a while, and leave Naruto to me."
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a kind smile, and while speaking, he knelt down in front of Naruto's body.
Xiao Nan glanced at the old man in front of him, frowned, and said nothing, then slowly stood up and stood aside.
Continue.
Sarutobi Hiruzen put away his smile, looked solemn, and pressed his hands on Naruto's chest.
Chichichichi.
Chakra flowed out of the old man's body like a trickle and entered Naruto's body along his palm.
This scene, at first glance, is nothing special, just like an ordinary medical ninjutsu, but through the reincarnation eye on the forehead, you can clearly see -
Sarutobi Hiruzen's body was undergoing an extremely complex flow of chakra, extracting his own life force and transporting it to Naruto on the ground.
over time.
Huh.
Konan was pleasantly surprised to find that Naruto's face was becoming more and more rosy, and his cold and stiff body seemed to be getting warmer, just like an animal that had hibernated and was waking up from its slumber.
However, in contrast, is the state of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
“Ho ho…”
He breathed heavily, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his aging and drooping facial features were squeezed together, as if he was enduring some kind of great pain.
His hands began to tremble, and his body was shaky. His whole body became older and older, and his hair turned completely white without realizing it.
Being able to master the S-level forbidden art of reincarnation in such a short period of time, "Ninjutsu Professor" Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed well-deserved.
But when he actually used this technique, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly felt that he was unable to do it. For a guy like him who had half his foot in the coffin, his vitality and chakra were not strong enough.
It was not enough to serve as a flame to rekindle Naruto's candle of life.
I'm afraid I'm going to fail if this goes on. I really...failed to save Naruto?
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt despair, and his vision gradually became blurred. He held on for his last breath, and the oil was about to run out.
at this time.
Duan, who had been sitting on the sofa watching the show, finally took action.
“It seems like it can’t work without me.”
Suan muttered to himself, walked up to Sarutobi Hiruzen, knelt down, and put his hand on the back of the latter's hand.
A huge amount of chakra suddenly gushes out from the palm of his hand.
"The Sixth Hokage, you..." Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head and looked at Dan with surprise.
"Concentrate and continue to complete this technique. I will lend you my chakra. Before you die, you must at least do one right thing." Duan said calmly.
“Thank you, thank you.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then cheered up again and performed the technique without any distractions.
A few more minutes passed.
“It’s done, I’m done...”
Sarutobi Hiruzen had a look of joy on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lost their luster and his head hung down, frozen in place like a sculpture.
There was absolutely no movement.
he died.
“Kakashi.”
Duan called out the door, called Kakashi, and told the latter, "Take him down and bury him in Konoha Cemetery."
“Yes, Hokage-sama.”
Kakashi immediately ordered the ANBU to carefully lift Sarutobi Hiruzen's body on a stretcher and quickly left the room.
In any case, this old man has also been the Hokage of Konoha for forty years. Letting him return to his roots after his death is the kindness of the Sixth Generation, and it is also the last respect Kakashi and others have for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Naruto!"
Konan rushed to Naruto again, only to find that the latter was still unconscious.
“Don’t worry, wait a while.”
Suan said lightly. His eyes had already seen the signs of life in Naruto's body.
Sure enough.
About ten seconds later.
"Well…"
Under Konan's surprised and delighted gaze, Naruto let out a soft hum in his throat and his fingers trembled.
“Naruto, are you okay?”
Xiaonan called softly, unable to believe such a miracle.
"Xiaonan...teacher, is that you?"
Naruto spoke hesitantly. He has lost his eyes and can't see anything. There is only darkness in front of him.
However, he clearly remembered that he overdrawn his life due to the magic of reincarnation, which led to his death. Could it be that Teacher Xiaonan also...
Think of this.
With a whoosh, Naruto straightened up and shouted angrily: "That guy Uchiha Dan lied to me. He clearly promised that I would let you go. Damn it!"
“I...really not dead?”
Naruto came back to his senses and subconsciously hugged Konan, hugging her tightly.
Yo, interesting.
Seeing this scene, he showed an expression of interest.
He could see that Konan and Naruto seemed to have more than a simple master-disciple relationship. The relationship between the two had the potential to develop into a more intimate direction.
Uzumaki Naruto and Konan.
Heh, what an unexpected couple.
Papa.
It wasn't until the crisp and loud applause sounded in the room that Konan and Naruto woke up and separated from each other.
“It’s a happy ending. In this way, my promise has been fulfilled. Then the rest of the time will be left to you, and I won’t interrupt you.”
After Duan said these words, he disappeared from the room in a flash.
"Teacher Konan, what happened? I clearly remember..." As soon as Duan left, Naruto couldn't wait to ask Konan.
Xiao Nan was silent for a moment, and then said truthfully:
"It was Uchiha Dan who ordered Sarutobi Hiruzen to perform forbidden techniques and resurrected you at the cost of the latter's life. However, Dan also contributed a lot of chakra, allowing you to be successfully resurrected."
Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but open his mouth wide and stammered:
“But, but, why did he resurrect me?”
Xiaonan sighed. She had been thinking about this problem for several days, but she still couldn't figure it out.
After all, with Uchiha Dan's overwhelming power, there was no need for him to negotiate with Konan, he could just take away the heretic golem and the jinchūriki.
Maybe.
Naruto's resurrection can only be understood as Uchiha Dan's kindness.
Hence, Konan said helplessly to Naruto:
“This time, we may have to sever a favor from Uchiha.”
After the two chatted for a while.
"Naruto, where are you going to go next?" Konan asked Naruto an important question seriously.
"I, I can't see anything, maybe I can't go anywhere." Naruto said sadly.
After losing his reincarnation eye and becoming blind, he gradually realized the huge gap.
Falling from the high clouds to the muddy ground all at once, even a person with a strong heart like Naruto still needs time to accept this cruel fact.
Konan heard Naruto's disappointment, her eyes narrowed, and she immediately held Naruto's hand with hers and said softly:
"Then let me be your eyes. No matter where we go, we will never be separated again. Naruto, come with me to leave the whirlpool of the ninja world. We are no longer ninjas."
She didn't want to lose Naruto again.
At this moment, Xiaonan completely let go.
The ideals of Akatsuki, Nagato and Yahiko finally became a thing of the past in her heart. The young man in front of her is the future she should cherish.
“Okay, Teacher Xiaonan, I listen to you.”
Naruto also smiled happily, showing two rows of white and neat teeth.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he still felt—
Before leaving, he should pay a visit to Uchiha Dan and thank him in person.
Otherwise, it would be a bit impolite for the two of them to leave without saying goodbye.
“That makes sense.”
Xiao Nan nodded without raising any objection and said, "I'll help you go."
Say it, Naruto stood up with Xiaonan's help.
at this time.
Hokage's office.
Hunting was slumped on the sofa, staring at the lines on the ceiling, and absentmindedly listening to the chatter of the woman in front of him.
Oh no, it’s a report.
As the Minister of Medical Affairs, Tsunade came to him today to discuss major matters of Konoha Medical Department with him, the Hokage.
Hearing about system reform, funding allocation, talent training, etc., I felt sleepy and even yawned out of boredom.
but.
He readily agreed to Tsunade's requests without deliberately embarrassing her, or in other words, he didn't even bother to ask.
Looking at this point, Tsunade held back and did not get angry at the giant baby.
She has never seen a Hokage like this.
Even her grandfather, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, a guy who liked drinking and gambling and knew nothing about politics, was much more qualified than Jue in handling Konoha's internal political affairs.
“Isn’t there still you?
With so many talented people in Konoha, why can't we manage the village well? I, the Hokage, have to personally handle everything, so what's the use of ministers like you? "
I always say this every time.
I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost time to get off work, but the woman in front of me was still chattering and spitting.
唰.
Suan stood up from the sofa and asked Tsunade impatiently: "Isn't it over yet?"
Tsunade was interrupted by him, stunned for a moment, and then became angry:
"You guys, did you listen to me seriously? That's less than half of it!"
Duan frowned and said solemnly:
“Samyi must have prepared a lot of delicious food. What if the food gets cold? How about we go home to eat and continue talking at the dinner table, or you can come to my study in the evening.”
…”
Tsunade was speechless by him, her face twitched, and she was on the verge of breaking her defense.
Just when she was about to hold back and wanted to raise her fist and punch Duan in the face, the bell on the desk suddenly rang.
“What’s the matter? Are you off work?” he asked.
After a moment of silence, the ANBU's voice came from the intercom on the table: "Hokage-sama, Uzumaki Naruto and Konan are here, and they want to see you."
Hearing this, Tsunade suppressed her anger and said coldly:
“Should I avoid it?”
"No, it should be over soon. Why don't you sit down for a while and drink some water? You're such an old man. Don't be angry all the time. Be careful of getting wrinkles."
Keep reminding her kindly.
"Hmph." Tsunade snorted, not bothering to pay attention to him. She walked to the water dispenser and took a glass of water. Then she leaned against the window, drinking water and looking at the scenery outside.
咚咚.
There was a knock on the door, and then a Konoha ANBU opened the door, and Konan helped Naruto walk into the Hokage's office.
"Sixth Hokage, thank you for keeping your promise, and thank you for resurrecting me."
Naruto got straight to the point as soon as he came up and expressed his gratitude to Suan in a sincere tone from the heart.
“It’s just a little effort, who can make me feel good?”
Duan waved his hand, not forgetting to brag about himself, then looked at Naruto and the two, and asked casually, "Are you here to say goodbye? Where are you going next?"
“Well, to be honest, I haven’t decided on the destination yet.”
Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and said with a smile.
Although he and Mr. Konan have decided to withdraw from the ninja world, where in this huge world are there no traces of ninjas and no disputes between ninjas?
It may not be so easy for the two of them to find the paradise in their hearts.
Hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help frowning and poured a basin of cold water on Naruto and Konan:
"It would be very dangerous if you leave Konoha now. Many people are watching you."
