The Red Moon of Konoha

Chapter 180 New Years
This year is finally over.

The Fourth Hokage failed to achieve the goal of 'killing the rebel Ninja Uchiha Ryuki' on the last day of the year.

A rush brings more doubts and more questions.

And, bigger worries.

And even though Hiraijinjutsu can come and go freely, Zab Oasis is the land of the Kingdom of Wind and the territory of sand ninjas after all. It may be difficult to discover the activities of a small number of Konoha ninjas, but the Fourth Hokage and the group of Konoha The appearance of high-level bosses in the Zab Oasis has become particularly eye-catching.

Even though he was very careful, Sand Shinobi still knew about Konoha's unusual movements.

But as Minato said before the action.

Sand ninja, who had almost every bone broken during World War Three, has no confidence to turn against Konoha now, all he can do is to use this matter to try to get some benefits from Konoha's hands.

Rock ninja, cloud ninja, and fog ninja farther away... Except Onoki, who was too curious and suffered a big loss in the hands of sand ninja, paid attention to the interaction between Konoha and sand ninja, the rest of cloud ninja and sand ninja Wu Ninja is guarding his own territory, one is recuperating, recovering from the wounds of World War Three, and the other is busy breaking old bad habits and realizing self-innovation.

Except for Konoha, everyone has no extra energy to worry about the future of the ninja world.

As for Heijue, they have been lurking for thousands of years, and patience is naturally the best. Take away those children who hate this world from small villages such as Yuyin Village and Caoyin Village, and send them to the experimental bench to do various experiments. This kind of operation, those who survived continue to be cultivated, and those who died were dug and buried directly.

It was just a failure.

He still can't beat him.

He has enough patience and time to wait for the comeback day.

And Nagarjuna just finished building his own palace, and is busy patching and decorating everywhere!There is no time to jump out to attract bees and butterflies.

Therefore,
The ninja world is so peaceful, and it is about to enter a new year.

Konoha Calendar, 50 years, is coming soon.

snow House.

Yuki Chiyo didn't go to the shrine. She felt that there were too many people in the shrine, and there was a lot of trouble. It's better to stay at home with Bai Shou. Anyway, Hatsune doesn't have to go so early. From the [-]st to the [-]rd tomorrow, I will go to the shrine to pay homage They are all beginners.

And at the moment there are two other guests at home.

Royal hand washes red beans, Kaguya-kun Maro.

Hongdou's family had died in the war when she was a child.

Now the only teacher has also betrayed the village.

It can be said to be the orphan of orphans.

Junmalu has also lost all his clansmen, and is the last descendant of the Huiye clan.

Currently living with Hongdou.

Knowing about the situation of these two people, Yuki Chiyo had a lot of dealings with them on weekdays, and now he simply invited them over to welcome the New Year together. Anyway, there were only mother and son in their family—the cooks and waiters hired by the shop all returned home. It’s time to go home—I wish we could welcome the New Year together with more people, otherwise it would be really difficult to welcome the New Year with only two people... I can’t even play cards!

Four people are now drawing jokers.

At this moment, the situation at the poker table is delicate.

Yuki Chiyo and Bai mother and son had the same gentle smiles on their faces, making it extremely difficult to capture any useful information from their faces, while Jun Malu had a dead face, neither surprised nor happy, it was hard to see through him What are you thinking about, and red beans...

Hehe, it's clear at a glance!

Although she suffered a major blow from the teacher's betrayal, the girl with a tough and strong personality regained her previous optimistic, bold, impulsive, and playful nature after a period of depression. Perhaps the concepts expressed by these adjectives are somewhat vague.

So to put it more bluntly,
This girl doesn't have a lot of eyes now, and she hasn't learned what it means to be calm. What is thinking in her heart is completely expressed in the connection. Red beans will make everyone have the illusion that they are masters of face reading.

If it weren't for the tacit release of water by the other three, Hongdou probably wouldn't even be able to keep a string of meatballs.

That's right, their bet is meatballs, the special three-color meatballs made by Yuki Chiyo.

Junmalu had the most meatballs in front of her, followed by Yuki Chiyo, and then Bai ranked third, and Hongdou... naturally came last, and there were only the last three skewers of meatballs left on the plate in front of her.

"Damn..." Hongdou looked at the ghost card drawn from Yukichiyo's hand, her face turned dark instantly, Shiro and Junmalu exchanged glances helplessly, sister Hongdou's face was too straight... up!But they didn't dare to win too much, otherwise Hongdou would definitely use his fists to teach them what is bad brand.

"Jun Malu, it's your turn."

Hongdou kept urging.

Among the fan-shaped cards in her hand, one of them popped out abruptly.

Junmalu: "..."

so hard!
To smoke or not to smoke?
He dared to bet with all his balls that the one that stood out was definitely a ghost card.

If he smokes, he always feels that he is taking the initiative to lower his IQ. If he doesn't smoke, he will definitely be punished by Qiu Hou if Miss Hongdou loses... He doesn't want to taste the trick of Shuanglong's trick.

It's really difficult!
He is just a child, why should he face such a difficult choice?

His life must be too difficult, right?

"Jun Ma Lu, hurry up, it's your turn to smoke, if you don't smoke, then I'll give you one!"

As Hongdou said so, her eager hand touched the protruding joker card.

Jun Malu's small face suddenly looked like he had eaten three catties of Coptis chinensis. Does the ghost card have such a way to play?This is clearly a foul, okay?

······
Wave home.

"Minato, where are Anko and Kimomaro? Why did you come back alone?" Hearing the voice from the entrance, Kushina walked over, but did not see the children who should come back with Minato, only Minato The man stood at the entrance shaking the snowflakes off his clothes.

"It's late, Hongdou and Junmaro have all gone to the 'Snow House'."

Minato rubbed his hands and let out a sigh of relief. The snow started to fall outside again, and it was still very cold.

"Is it a snow house? If you're with Shiro, that's okay... Shiro and Junmaro have a very good relationship, and it's good to welcome the New Year together." Kushina's frowning brows spread away, and then she stared again Eyes rounded, "Then... what about Kakashi, Obito, Rin?"

"Kakashi and the others are no longer children, and the natives have their own ideas! Don't get involved."

Minato said vaguely, "And Kakashi, that kid was dragged away by Akai."

"······Are we the only ones welcoming the New Year? It feels so deserted!" Kushina grumbled.

"Isn't there still Naruto and Xiaoying! Besides, you feel deserted now, and when the child grows up in two years, you will probably feel panicked again!"

Minato said while changing his shoes.

"Isn't it still going to be two years?"

Jiu Xinnai was talking, but subconsciously touched her protruding belly with her hand.

Three children... When they grow up, the house will be very noisy, right?But that kind of trouble should be the so-called trouble of happiness mentioned in the book, right?I don't know if this child is a boy or a girl. If it's a boy, I'm afraid it will be really lively with Naruto.

······
Uchiha clan.

Fu Yue's family.

"Mom, Sasuke just smiled at me."

Itachi excitedly ran to Mikoto's side, lowered his voice, and whispered.

"Itachi really likes my brother!"

"Well, Sasuke is very good! When he grows up, I will teach him how to practice shuriken and ninjutsu." Itachi nodded vigorously.

"Cough cough!!"

Fu Yue, who was drinking tea at the table, cleared his throat.

With his ear strength, even if Itachi lowered his voice, he could still hear it.

He glanced at his elder son angrily. Is this to deprive him of his right to education?
The eldest son is too talented, he doesn't need to bother to teach him many times, he learns it by himself, and there is a bastard Zhishui robbing him of his job, which makes him happy, but also feels that his ability is useless place of martial arts,
Fortunately, the second son was born, which made him see new hope, and he was thinking about waiting for the second son to grow up to shake off his prestige!That stinky brat, Itachi, dares to compete with him for a job?

"That itachi must work hard, the better you are, the better you can teach your brother!!"

Mikoto ignored the demon Fugaku, and touched Itachi's head with a smile.

"I will."

Itachi clenched his small fists and said solemnly.

Fuyue took a sip of tea, and glanced at the second son who was struggling and twisting in the cradle next to him... Suddenly, he felt that this kid looked a bit unpleasant!
······
The shopping street in front of Inaba Shrine.

Vendors selling masks, windmills, broken magic arrows, etc. to remove bad luck and pray for good fortune are next to each other. Although most shops are closed today to welcome the new year, some people still choose this time to make money.

"Kai, Kakashi, I'll give you the windmill, this year will be smooth sailing."

An old man with two thick and black eyebrows and wearing a green tights bought two windmills and stuffed them into the hands of the two teenagers beside him.

"Dad, thank you."

Akai happily held the windmill in his hand.

"Uncle Dai, I don't need...thank you."

Kakashi held the windmill that was forced into his hand, and looked at a group of five or six-year-old kids whizzing past with the windmill in their hands, and scratched his face... Although a bit childish, it feels good of!
He was planning to stay at home today and greet the New Year with Parker (the dog) and the others.

In the end, before he could start his own house plan, Akai rushed to the door and dragged him out of the door without any explanation, and was forced to go shopping with the Kappa father and son...
Watermelon head, thick eyebrows, green tights, really looks like a Kappa.

And it's a father-son relationship.

"Hey, Kakashi, do you think that looks like Obito and Rin?"

Akai suddenly pointed forward.

Kakashi stared at the past, and there was a pair of men and women walking side by side on the steps of the shrine in front. The man had black hair, was of medium build, and was wearing a black kimono. In kimono, the two were talking and walking up the steps. They should be going to pay homage...
In fact, there is no need to observe carefully at all, even if you put on a kimono you haven't seen much, but just looking at the familiar back, Kakashi can confirm that it is indeed Obito and Rin.

"It should be Obito and Rin, Kakashi, let's say hello! Obito..."

Akai opened his mouth and was about to shout, but Matt Dai, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, covered his mouth.

Kakashi was a step late, but he still grabbed Akai's arm tightly, and he couldn't let this idiot rush out to do bad things.

"Dad, Kakashi, what are you doing?"

It took a lot of effort to push away Matt Dai's big hand, and Akai stared at his father and Kakashi, wondering why they suddenly went crazy.

"Kay, it's not good to disturb people at this time." Matt Dai said seriously.

"I didn't intend to disturb anyone? I just went to say hello to Obito and Rin? Is this a disturbance? It would be rude not to say hello when you meet them, right?"

Akai is now the monk Zhangba who is confused.

Having trouble saying hello?
"Of course not, you idiot, if you run over now, Obito will fight with you tomorrow." Kakashi said.

"Isn't that good?"

Akai's eyes lit up, "It's been a long time since I competed with Obito, just to try how powerful he has become now."

Kakashi held his breath in his throat and almost choked.

He stared at Akai speechlessly, not knowing how to explain.

Today's Akai has not experienced the catalysis of the pain of losing his father, and his temperament is still as innocent and pure as a child.

"Kai, it's okay to find someone to compete with, but it's not suitable at all times..."

Matt Dai has always been very happy with his son's obedience and understanding, but as he got older, he also began to worry about his son's future. With such a silly look, how will he find a wife in the future?well!Not to mention too much, even if he can have one-tenth of Kakashi's cleverness, he doesn't have to worry about his son's future.

What he didn't know was that according to the original trajectory, Kakashi and Akai's future disciples were both married, and they were still single!

Even if Kakashi really has one-tenth of Kakashi's ingenuity, it probably can't change this fate.

"...Is it so complicated?"

Hearing his father's words, Akai looked confused and puzzled,

······
On the steps in front of Inaba Shrine.

"Obito, I seem to have seen Kakashi just now?"

"Is there? Maybe you read it wrong! Haha! You must have read it wrong. The teacher will ask Kakashi to welcome the New Year together without saying anything? He must be playing with Naruto at the teacher's house now! What? Might appear here? Impossible!"

"Well... that's right. Mrs. Kushina is pregnant and it's inconvenient to go out. Kakashi should be helping to take care of Naruto and Hotaru! I must have misunderstood." Lin nodded .

Obito quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

What the hell, scared him to death!

I really don't know what the teacher is doing?It was clearly agreed that Kakashi would be taken away today.

In the end, that bastard Kakashi actually went shopping with Akai...
“There are so many people in line!!”

Lin stood on her toes and looked at the crowd in front of her.

Climbing up the steps and coming to the torii gate, I saw a long queue of people.

The yellow lanterns released a soft light, and there were crowds of people on the approach. The crowd waiting in line for the New Year’s Eve had lined up from the front of the worship hall to the torii. At this moment, standing in front of the torii, only a large black mass of human heads could be seen. .

"Are you still late? Lin, I'm sorry, it seems that Hatsune will have to wait for some time, why don't we go to other places first?"

Obito approached Lin and asked softly.

"No need, it feels good to line up to pay homage!"

Lin shook her head.

"Yes, if you line up more sincerely, you will have better luck in the New Year." Obito nodded vigorously in agreement.

The girl gave him a blank look, and went straight to the end of the crowd to line up.

Obito scratched his head, showing a simple and honest smirk, but always followed Lin closely.

at this time,

"Boom~~~"

The melodious bell rang.

One after another, a total of 108 loud bells spread all over the world. This bell symbolizes the expulsion of 108 devils and troubles, and everyone has [-] wishes in the new year... Well, a very greedy wish.

But shrines and temples rang the bells with all their might, praying for a better future.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year everyone!"

In the aftermath of the bell, everyone outside and at home sent New Year's greetings to those around them.

"Lin, Happy New Year!"

Obito lowered his head and sent his heartfelt wishes to the girl beside him.

"Well, happy new year!"

Lin's voice is very soft, soft, like a feather, stirring Obito's heart.

Seeing Lin who blushed unknowingly, Obito suddenly felt that he had made a mistake. He shouldn't be standing here in line. There are too many people, so he should go to a place with fewer people... There are too many people around , I can't do anything! ! !

Damn!
So stupid!
I am so stupid.

Obito growled inwardly.

I can't wait to go back to 1 minute ago and beat myself who has no position. How can I be so positionless?He should be more determined to go around. When he visited the Inaba Shrine, he found several secluded and quiet places.

It's all my own stupidity, wasting this great opportunity!
So sad!
······
"Sister Hongdou, Happy New Year! Let's stop here! I feel a little tired!"

Hearing the sound of the bell in the distance, Jun Malu wittily threw the only card left in his hand on the table, and sent blessings to Hongdou.

At the end of the re-opened round of cards, it turned into a duel between Hongdou and Junmalu.

Hongdou held two cards in his hand, and Jun Ma Lu only had one card in his hand.

The trick card is in Hongdou's hands.

Now it's Junmaro's turn to draw cards.

As long as he draws the miscellaneous card that is obviously not a ghost card, Hongdou will be at the bottom again, but... looking at Hongdou with murderous aura condensed into the evil ghost Shura behind him, Jun Malu can't help but fall into deep thought again , how to choose?

While he was hesitating, the sound of the bell turned into a life-saving gospel.

Jun Malu made a decisive decision, threw the cards away, and acted as if he was done with it.

"Damn it, I almost won."

Hongdou threw down the cards in his hand extremely unwillingly, complaining to himself.

Hearing Hongdou's muttering, both Junmalu and Bai fell silent. Does it seem like they are about to win just now?
What kind of brain circuits do you need to feel like you can win?
After murmuring a few words in a low voice (I thought), Hongdou calmed down her mood very quickly, and first sent her greetings to Yuki Chiyo, "Aunt Chiyo, Happy New Year!"

then,

She looked at the two little guys, and took out the snow-white paper bag that looked like an envelope that had been pressed for a long time from under her butt. look like

"Junmalu, Bai, happy new year to both of you, this is Yu Nianyu (lucky money) for you!"

"Ah! Did you prepare red beans too? You are still a child yourself!"

Yuki Chiyo also took out three copies of Yu Nianyu, the same style of snow-white paper bag, but unlike the red bean, the silk thread tied on the paper bag is gold and red.

Red beans, Junmalu, white, one for everyone.

Looking at the three children sitting around the table, Yuki Chiyo was filled with a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness.

······
"Minato, Happy New Year~~"

Listening to the melodious bell outside the window, the half-asleep and half-awake Kushina yawned and sent her blessings in a daze.

Even with Uzumaki's physique, she still couldn't avoid drowsiness during pregnancy.

She was planning to go to sleep after the New Year's bell rang, but she couldn't resist the drowsiness that hit her. She leaned on the sofa and began to fall asleep. She didn't wake up until the bell rang, but she was still in a daze. He looked dazed and felt like he might fall asleep again at any moment.

"Sleep when you are sleepy, the child will be watched by me! Don't force yourself!"

Minato helped Kushina back to the bed, covered the quilt, coaxed her a few words, and watched her pregnant wife fall asleep peacefully.

"Kushina, Happy New Year!"

He bent down and whispered New Year's blessings in his wife's ear.

After staying by the bed for a few more minutes, Mizumon quietly got up, walked out of the bedroom with cat-like quiet steps, and came to the baby room next to him, looking tenderly at the two sleeping children lying on their respective cribs .

"Naruto, Xiaoying, Happy New Year to you too!"

----

The New Year in Muye Village is lively, warm and joyful.

However, the ninja world is so big, there are many people who have no time to greet the new year.

The Land of the Winds, the Northern Desert.

"Damn it! Failed again... What went wrong?"

Underground, puppet workshop.

Scorpion looked anxiously at the debris that had crumbled to the ground.

The battle in Takiyin Village made him understand the flaw of puppet art - lack of attack power.

Puppetry is a technique developed to fight against humans. It uses humans and animals as blueprints to create shapes, and uses organs and poisons as minions to kill people. Even the ancestor of the puppet master, Monzaemon, never thought of using puppets. Fight against unreasonable monsters like Susanoo.

Puppetry is about technique, skill, and art.

rather than violence.

But in the face of the absolute violence of Susanoo, the exquisite techniques and skills of puppetry seem so pale and powerless.

So, Scorpio wants to make a change.

The puppet he developed retains the ninjutsu and blood inheritance limit of the living, which leads to the strength of the puppet produced, which is completely limited by the quality of the material itself. Scorpion didn't think it was a problem before, but he Now it feels like this is not enough.

The finest materials are too difficult to collect.

He has not gotten a second puppet of the same level as the third Kazekage.

After a long period of thinking, Xie decided to improve the human puppet technology. He wanted to break through the limitations of the material itself, so that the human puppet had a higher strength than the material before it was alive.

But the more beautiful the ideal, the more difficult it is to realize it.

With the talent of scorpion.

Still encountered many obstacles.

Whether the New Year is not, it has no meaning to Xie who has realized the eternal art, and it is far less important than his study of puppetry.

"It's broken too hard, right? Damn it, there's no way to find the problem..." Scorpion tidied up the debris on the ground, muttering and complaining about the damn explosion.

······
Snow country.

A country on the extremely cold Northland islands.

In the icy and snowy land, the hot blood quickly turned cold, and the corpse with the pain still remaining on its face became stiff and gradually covered with a layer of hoarfrost. When a heavy snowstorm passed, it would be completely buried here. In the desolate snowfield.

Of course, it may also be taken out and eaten by animals in the snow field. Snow wolves, white bears, snow leopards... these things are all beasts that eat meat.

"Lost position, do you want to kill me that much?"

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost shook off the corpse hanging from the Shark's muscle.

Standing in the snow, looking to the south, murderous aura gathered in his eyes.

As the former high-level boss of Kirigakure Anbe, he is very aware of Kirigakure Anbe's style.

Since the Second Hokage established the Anbu system, the five major ninja villages have their own Anbu. However, compared to Konoha's Anbe, Kirigakure's Anbe has carried forward the original intention of the Second Hokage, "Assassination Tactics Special Forces" , Anbu is used to kill people.

Rather than being a bodyguard, being a bodyguard, killing people is the core function of Anbu.

Kirigakure Anbe is famous in the major Ninja villages for his unending drive to hunt and kill traitorous ninjas.

However, this is not to say that Kirigenin really hates rebellion so much. The real reason is that there are too many rebellious ninjas. If the rebels are allowed to live outside, the village under the high-pressure system is likely to collapse from the inside. .

That's why Kirigakure Anbu would hunt and kill Anbu endlessly.

However, Kirigakure Anbu also has priorities in chasing and killing prey. With so many rebellious ninjas, unless Kirigakure Anbu really does not care about the loss and comes out in full force, it is impossible to wipe out all the rebellious ninjas. The Watermelon Mountain puffer ghost is in power One of the tasks at the time was to confirm the urgency of hunting the target.

Generally speaking, the ones that are easy to hunt and kill will not cause too much loss, and such targets are the best choice.

It can not only intimidate people's hearts with its rebellious head, but also effectively preserve Anbu's strength.

It is rare to say that they will stare at a master like Xiguashan Puffer Ghost and hunt them down at all costs. At most, they will send people to confirm the whereabouts of Xiguashan Puffer Ghost as much as possible, and when they are fully sure, they will launch a thunderous strike.

Like now, within half a month, he encountered nine waves of attacks and assassinations.

As many as 37 people died in Kirigakure Anbu under the shark muscle.

This situation is not normal.

"...lost position, if you want my head, be prepared to kill more people!"

The New Year of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost is surprisingly bloody.

······
The country of vegetables.

Underground Exchange.

"Junin of Yanyin Village, Otake, the bounty of 800 million...Mr. Kakuzu, the recent harvest is quite big!" The bald man looked at the corpse on the operating table, and the bounty in his hand After comparing the information repeatedly and confirming the authenticity, an extremely enthusiastic smile appeared on his face.

"Good luck, just met."

The corners of a long black trench coat stood in front of the operating table.

"It can be seen that your fortune has been very good recently."

Such compliments are very useful, but he didn't say anything more.

I just silently watched the person in charge of the gold exchange confirm the condition of the corpse, then put the corpse into the cabinet, and finally took out 800 million cash from the safe, and counted it three times in front of Jiaodu. , After confirming that there is no problem, all were packed into a special black suitcase.

"Mr. Kakuto, this is your bounty."

The person in charge placed the suitcase in front of Kakutsu.

Every corner lifted the heavy suitcase.

Pleasure arises spontaneously.

"Mr. Kakuzu, I look forward to your next visit." The bald man waved goodbye to Kakuzu.

"If you're lucky, you should come back soon." Jiaodu didn't stop.

"Then I can look forward to your coming again. Your recent fortune is very strong, and I will be dealing with you for a long time." The bald man smiled happily.

Jiaodu continued to walk out without stopping.

"Hopefully as you say."

After the words fell, Jiaodu's back disappeared at the door.

Jiaodu's New Year is still very happy, because he has made a lot of money again.

······
Rainy Village.

Outside the window, it was raining.

"Yahiko."

"During the New Year last year, Nagato and I gave you origami flowers together! This year...it's only me! And I have to make a copy for Nagato...that idiot Nagato , why is he like this... You all left so simply, leaving me here alone..."

"Yahiko, Nagato, I feel... so difficult!"

Xiao Nan sat on the sofa with her knees hugged, staring blankly at the photos on the table.

In the photo, teenagers and girls with bright smiles are wearing black trench coats embroidered with red clouds... This is a photo taken when they first established the Akatsuki organization.

This is the only photo of the three of them together.

When I was young, I didn’t have the conditions to take photos. When I was with Mr. Jiraiya, the photos I took with Mr. Jiraiya all had the shadow of Mr. Jiraiya. Later, after the establishment of the Akatsuki organization, I was too busy to take pictures, and Yahiko died soon after... ···No new photos can be taken anymore.

Up to now, even Nagato has left, and she is the only one left among the three of them.

"It's really... so hard!"

She murmured, turned her head, and looked at the drizzle outside the window.

She didn't cry.

His tears had long since dried up.

The only motivation that keeps her alive is revenge. She and Nagato have already avenged Yahiko's revenge, but Nagato's revenge is still waiting for her to avenge it!

The new year just made Xiao Nan feel more lonely...
"Yo!"

window sill.

Jiraiya, who was wearing a black kimono and a funny fire man mask on his head, also waved at Konan.

"Happy New Year! Xiao Nan!"

"Teacher Jiraiya?"

Xiaonan looked at Jiraiya who was sitting on the window sill in astonishment, his light orange pupils were filled with confusion.

"How will you be here?"

"Why can't I be here? It's New Years, can I come and visit my apprentice?" Jiraiya still held a box of shiny grilled cuttlefish in his hand, "Does it smell delicious? I met it on the side of the road. Yes, I didn't expect that there are still people selling snacks today, and the taste is also good, Xiao Nan, do you want some?"

Xiao Nan looked at the unfamiliar but familiar teacher silently.

Speechless.

Jilai also didn't say anything else, just ate the grilled cuttlefish silently.

Soon, the room was filled with the strong smell of grease.

A box of grilled cuttlefish is five skewers, and it was eaten up in a blink of an eye. Zilai also threw the box into the trash can accurately, wiped his hands, looked at Xiao Nan, and said solemnly: "Xiao Nan, can you take me to see it?" Yahiko?"

Xiao Nan looked at Zi Lai's shiny mouth.

Well, Jiraiya-sensei still has the same virtue as before.

"······follow me."

Xiaonan led the way and brought Zilai to a room that had been reinforced and covered with multiple barriers. Once he entered the door, Zilai also saw a man lying in a sea of ​​white paper flowers.

"The change...is really big!"

Staring at Yahiko who seemed to be sleeping.

Ji Lai also slowly matched the man in front of him with the smiling boy in his memory.

"It's really changed a lot... If it wasn't for now, maybe we met, I wouldn't even recognize you, Yahiko."

Yahiko, who was lying in the pile of paper flowers, fell asleep quietly, and did not answer Mr. Jiraiya's words.

"······ I really didn't think about this way of meeting again at the beginning. A few years ago, I heard the news of your death, and I thought that maybe I would have to wait until the next life to meet, no Thinking of our master and apprentice meeting again today, it is a pity that Nagato is not here, otherwise... everyone will be here."

Xiao Nan stood by.

Silently listening to Jiraiya and Yahiko talking.

······
Country of Field.

The underground base of Blackcap Mountain.

"...Did the cloning fail?"

"But... is this thing really a failure?"

In the laboratory, Orochimaru sits at the table and carefully observes his creation with a microscope.

As time goes by, there is less and less time to study the eyes of reincarnation. According to the earliest agreement, as soon as the New Year comes, the lease period of the eyes of reincarnation will arrive. extended by one month.

But it's only been a month!

The arrival of the new year has no other meaning except that it makes Orochimaru feel the time urgency.

"Is there only one month left?"

Orochimaru looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand merged into a line, pointing to the twelve o'clock position.

"Also, Mr. Nagarjuna seems to have found a new site? I've been running around all the time, and I don't know where this new site is... Forget it, it's more important to study the eyes of reincarnation. There is only one month left... time, I am a little nervous!" Orochimaru turned his gaze back to the microscope.

No distractions!

Research is everything.

The fun of his Orochimaru is all in studying the unknown mystery!
New Year... Hehe, he has never cared about such boring things for a long time!

······
Iron country.

Deep underground in the vast snowfield is a magnificent palace of astonishing scale.

Heretic golems are located here.

As Kaguya's youngest son who was specially born to save himself, Heijue still has a lot of unique skills in his hands. Maybe the frontal combat power is not enough, but when it comes to things like golems of outsiders, he still has some special methods of.

Because of the fall of Uchiha Yeguang.

In order to ensure that the heretic golem was not discovered, he moved it to the underground palace dug out by the puppet tool man he controlled at the time 300 years ago.

But then the eye of reincarnation was taken away, making his actions meaningless.

If Uchiha Ryuki develops the power of reincarnation eyes to a certain extent, he can summon the golem of the heretics directly... However, as a professional big black hand, Hei Ze has a strong ability to withstand pressure, even Uchiha So what if Nagarjuna could summon the golem of the heretics?
Even if he can figure out the method of resurrecting ten tails from Uchiha Yeguang's brain...

Then he'll have to figure something out.

However, maybe it is possible to resurrect the mother with the help of Uchiha Nagaruka?

Heijue thought optimistically.

Of course, optimism is nothing but optimism, and there are still some countermeasures to be taken.

"Have you failed again? The willpower is really weak! You can't bear this kind of suffering. Human beings... are really fragile."

On the operating table, Bai Jue dragged the surviving corpse down, and then brought up new experimental materials.

The first step is to use a tube of Mutun cells from the first generation of Hokage to make a base. The second step is to add some Uchiha cells to warm up as appropriate. The third step is to transplant a pair of Sharingan onto it. The fourth step , train them to open the Kaleidoscope Sharingan...

So far, most experimental materials simply collapse at the first step.

Bai Jue's transplant method is much more brutal than Orochimaru.

But the advantage of this is that those who can survive the first step are those materials with good innate quality, and basically can survive the second step, but the biggest problem is... In the third step, even though Uchiha's cells have been injected as a buffer, the terrifying rejection caused by Sharingan is still unsolvable.

Some of the experimental materials transplanted with Sharingan survived, but the problem is that the severe rejection reaction does not see the possibility of opening the Kaleidoscope Sharingan at all...

But you can't open the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, such materials are useless at all, it can only be said to be a failed work.

"Master Heijue, the experimental materials are almost exhausted."

Bai Jue, who was in charge of logistics management, came to report.

"... I see, I will add."

Hei Jue's face was dark, and he was running around all over the place, obviously it was the New Year!

The road to revive the old mother is really difficult!
