Chapter 186 Don’t Go Alone

The three women were injured to varying degrees and almost had to be hospitalized for a period of time. Naruto was fine and was discharged from the hospital the same day.

Tsunade didn't look for him, so he was happy and went home directly.

I haven’t been back for a month and my home is still the same. Jiuwei was lying on the sofa. There were boxes and boxes of empty wine bottles piled on the balcony. The windows were wide open and the wind chimes were ringing gently.

After washing, Naruto blew his hair, and Kyuubi suddenly woke up.

"Oh, you're back?"

"You're back." Naruto dried his hair and put on his clothes casually, "You're the only one at home this month?"

"Absolutely. Occasionally I go out for a walk." Jiuwei slumped on the sofa with a sweet smile on his face. "Human beings are really stupid. No one notices me when walking on the street."

"It's just a dog, what's there to pay attention to?" Naruto said without mercy.

"Haha, what do you know?" Jiuwei held up a pair of small glasses with his paws and put them on the bridge of his nose, looking like a wise dog. "Humans are letting down their guard against me. This is my best disguise."

"Yeah, it's amazing." Naruto said perfunctorily.

"That woman said the same thing when I paid for the takoyaki." Kyuubi said, nodding.

"What woman?" he turned around and asked.

"That blond woman." Kyuubi turned over and pulled out a bottle of wine from under his body and said, "That woman came here once when you were away."

"What are you doing here?" Naruto went into the kitchen and poured a glass of water, leaning in the kitchen and drinking while asking.

"Haha, you are all my slaves." Kyuubi skillfully bit open the bottle cap with his teeth and spit it into the trash can. "It's the same as what you do every day, cleaning everywhere."

"Yeah" He didn't say anything, put down the water glass and lay lazily on the sofa.

"Why do you feel so weak?" Kyuubi asked after taking another sip of wine, "Have you been talking a little less since you came back?"

"Let the fox take care of the adults' matters." Naruto glanced at it and took out the key to the floor heating generator he took from Fenghua Koyuki from his pocket.

The key is in the shape of a purple crystal, more like a long necklace. He was lying on the sofa, holding one hand in the air and watching intently.

The reward for option two can upgrade the Flying Thunder God, but the mission is now suspended.

Although the client has been buried in the sea, the protection target Fenghua Xiaoxue is still alive, as long as she is willing to restart the Snow Country mission. The aborted mission can still be restarted, rather than ended directly.

Konoha has already received the reward, and they will not refuse Fenghua Xiaoxue regardless of emotion or reason.

The question is, how to convince Fenghua Xiaoxue, who survived the catastrophe, to embark on the journey to the Land of Snow again? Will she?

After thinking for a long time, Naruto sighed and held the key in his hand.

Let’s take one step at a time.

Something like this happened now, whether it was an accident or some other reason. After drifting on the sea for a while, Fenghua Xiaoxue's spirit was already fragile enough. It was better not to easily provoke her.

Some things cannot be rushed, and the time is still very long anyway.

After temporarily putting aside the matter of Fenghua Xiaoxue, he thought about the mysterious murals and strange statues in the Country of Uzumaki, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a shrine of the Uzumaki clan outside the village.

After careful recall, the number of statues in the ruins seemed to be twenty-seven.

"Hey, Kyuubi."

He turned to look at Kyuubi on the sofa, "Have you ever seen the Sage of Six Paths?"

"I've seen it before." Kyuubi paused while drinking and looked up at Naruto, "What?"

"Is the Sage of Six Paths a god?" Naruto suddenly asked.

"I don't know, I guess so." Kyuubi paused obviously, then changed his words, "No."

"What kind of thing is a sage?" Naruto sat up from the sofa and looked at Kyuubi with complicated eyes. "A sage who can live, grow old, sick, and die doesn't look like a god."

"You ask like this. I don't know very well." Kyuubi thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen the Sage of Six Paths a few times, but whenever he appears, I can feel his presence."

"What now?"

"Now?" Kyuubi asked with a raised tone, "What do you think?"

"That is to say, the Sage of Six Paths has disappeared." Naruto stood up and paced in the living room, "But I often hear people talking about the Evil God Festival outside?"

"Some villages in the Kingdom of Sichuan also believe in the God of Death, and the sealing of corpses and ghosts and the reincarnation of filthy soil are real."

"I don't know." Upon hearing the name of the God of Death, Jiuwei's head immediately dropped, and Hanhu said, "Why do you ask those things?"

"Nothing, just ask." Naruto said.

If the Six Paths Sage really existed, what about before the Six Paths? If those gods really existed, their power was extracted and existed as ninjutsu.

The sealing of corpse ghosts and the reincarnation of dirty land are both sealing techniques in a sense. But the end of all truth is destruction, the disappearing country of the whirlpool.

Naruto started to get excited, this was much more interesting than Ninjutsu.

Starting from the ghost warrior of the Bird Kingdom, he has become interested in the option of seizing the power of a country. Simple illusions can even establish beliefs and control the people of a country.

What if it was a real God? The Uzumaki clan can harvest the power of the God of Death, can I try it too?

He really doesn't want to become Hokage, but if it is to become a religious person, it is quite interesting just thinking about it. It's impossible to stay in Konoha until old, there will always be a day when you leave.

The mission of the Kingdom of Sichuan, the mission of the Kingdom of Birds, the mission of the Kingdom of Snow, the system has been tempting him to seize control of the small country. Naruto wasn't stupid, and worldly power was of little use.

If you really want him to take charge of the management and run the small country diligently, that would be a fool's errand. What's more, he is still a genin of Konoha, so there is no point in seizing control too early.

The Ibis of the Kingdom of Birds, the Fenghua Xiaoxue of the Snow Kingdom, the Queen of Loulan's mission has not yet been triggered. The bloodline of royal power is continued through the princess. If this is the case, the role of the church will come.

The problem now is to figure out the relationship between the Uzumaki clan and those strange forces. Although the Uzumaki clan is dying, their bloodline is immortal, and they will definitely be able to find something special.

Thinking of this, Naruto felt that it was still necessary to go to the Uzumaki clan's shrine. The location is located in the Konoha Forest, quite some distance from the village.

"I have to go out for a while." Naruto put on his clothes and bent down to change his shoes at the entrance. "You stay home and stay home."

"Ha." Kyuubi huddled in the sofa and muttered, recalling the fear of having its soul dominated.

This was true when the zombies were sealed away, and it was also true when Naruto ordered it to swallow the ninja's roots. A tall soul that makes people tremble.

Kyuubi had no doubts at all, and gave the guy a white short sword, a white-haired evil ghost with a green face and fangs.

Naruto left home happily and walked in the opposite direction outside the village. But after walking a few steps, several people walked towards me, dusty and dusty, looking like they had been rushing back all night.

"Hello Asuma-sensei." Naruto smiled awkwardly and met Class 10.

"Hey, it's Naruto."

"Naruto!"

"came back?"

Asuma, who had just returned from a mission, watched three disciples mingling with a Huang Mao. There was no urging, he lit a cigarette and looked at it with a smile.

"You guys, I heard that there was an accident at sea." Shikamaru reached out and touched Naruto's hands and feet, "It's a miracle that nothing happened."

"What can happen to me? It's just a shipwreck." Naruto couldn't help bragging when he saw an acquaintance, "If the ship hadn't been in the deep sea, I would have been back long ago."

"You're not an easy boy. You've also brought back the mission target." Shikamaru pushed Naruto's shoulder lightly.

"That's right, even if you don't ask, I claim to have a 100% mission completion rate. Ah!! Ino! I'm still a patient!"

Ino pinched him hard and said angrily, "You are so complacent, you have to fight to save your life! You don't look like a patient!"

"Forget it, forget it, Ino." Choci stepped out and said, "It's a miracle that Naruto can come back. Maybe he's really injured."

"Chouji, don't be fooled by that guy. If you are really injured, you won't be able to leave the hospital." Shikamaru said with a finishing blow.

"Oh, that's good." Choji took a step back.

Ino grabbed Naruto, frowning slightly and narrowing his eyes.

"Where are you going?"

"I" Naruto was a little stuck. He couldn't say that he wanted to visit the Uzumaki clan's tomb.

This thing is a bit unlucky no matter how you say it, and it is somewhat taboo for people who often go on missions. Except for himself, he has no taboos. Because he doesn't believe in this, it doesn't matter if he dances on the grave before going on a mission.

Even though there was an accident during the last mission at sea, he would still dare to go next time.

Just as Naruto was drafting a lie in his mind, Asuma beside him suddenly blew out a puff of smoke and spoke.

"Team 10 should be disbanded on the spot. I have something else to do. Shikamaru will go to the Hokage Building later to make up for this mission report."

Ino was stunned and turned around to see the smile in Asuma's eyes.

"Yes." The three of them, Zhu, Deer and Die, responded.

After Asuma left, Shikamaru's shoulders suddenly slumped and he said dejectedly.

"It's me giving the mission report again!"

Choji looked away and said with a guilty conscience, "Shikamaru, I also want to help, but you know, the mission report I wrote will be rejected by Tsunade-sama."

Ino grabbed Naruto and didn't let go. She turned to look at Shikamaru and was about to speak, but Shikamaru spoke first.

"Forget it, I'll do it, Ino, let's go first."

After saying that, he took Dingji and left.

Suddenly only Ino and Naruto were left on the road. Ino let go of Naruto and asked again.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the shrine to have a look."

"Shrine?" Ino frowned slightly and turned to look around, "Which shrine? What are you doing in a place like that?"

"Here, just take a look." Naruto said, "I found something outside, so I wanted to go and have a look."

"wait for me."

"Huh?" Naruto was stunned.

"Ah, what? I said wait until I go with you." Ino said.

Naruto's home was nearby, so Ino simply went to his place to wash up. After traveling all night, Ino's face was full of exhaustion, but she couldn't care about anything else.

The whole person was soaked in the bathtub and almost fell asleep.

Dongdongdong three times, the bathroom door was knocked.

"What?" Ino asked angrily.

"It's nothing, you look very tired, why don't you just rest here, I..." Naruto suggested while standing outside the bathroom door.

"No!" Ino refused, "If you go there secretly, I will throw away the key and never care about it again."

"Uh" Naruto was speechless, "I mean it's getting late now, why not go tomorrow."

The next morning.

The shrine of the Uzumaki clan.

The vermilion torii gate stands tall and is engraved with the symbol of the Uzumaki clan.

Naruto and Ino stood in the courtyard, looking up at the tattered eaves, and then glanced at the shrine with half a door missing. This place was actually more desolate than he imagined.

There was an abandoned well in the yard. A beam of white sunlight shone alone above it, and it was filled with green algae. The area in front of the shrine is overgrown with weeds and broken rubble is everywhere.

It was early spring, and tender green plants were growing on the dilapidated walls, as green as if they had just been fished out of the water. Perhaps because of the heavy rain in the forest, the ground was covered with moss.
