Naruto Alchemist

Chapter 152 Celsus
"Proof? Because of my eyes? These eyes are made of human life and full of sin?"

Sangzhu smiled miserably, and he stretched out his right hand, with the thumb, index finger, and middle finger in the shape of a claw, and placed it in front of his eyes.

"I really never thought that the Philosopher's Stone, which I have been looking for and researching for a long time, is so close to me, right in my eyes."

"I didn't expect that the raw material of the Philosopher's Stone is actually the soul of a person. In order to refine the Philosopher's Stone, I don't know how many lives have to be sacrificed."

"Such a sage's stone, such eyes, don't mind!" After the words fell, Zuozhu's right hand aimed at his own eyes, as if trying to dig them out.

But how could that snow-white figure let Sangsuke do this?The door of truth quietly opened a gap, counting until the black shadow wraps his hands around Sangsuke's back, and directly freezes Sangsuke's movement.

"The sinful eyes of human life?"

The snow-white figure was amazed, "This is the product of the highest level of alchemy. It can be called a miracle. The eyes made of the Philosopher's Stone, you actually use such a cheap word to describe it?"

"Am I wrong?" Sangsuke, who was entangled by the shadow, tried to break free from the shadow, "Isn't the eyes that Sato Tokisada collected human lives full of sins?"

The snow-white figure tilted its head, seemingly in deep thought, "It seems quite reasonable for you to say that, although I prefer to call it the eye of truth, but this is your eye, you like it."

"After all, the souls of the sinful clan who did such a thing are already in your eyes."

Sangzhu's body froze, and his movement of breaking free from the shadow also froze.

"The soul of the sinful family?"

Sangzhu murmured, repeating this sentence over and over again, the events that happened before flashed before his eyes like a slide show.

——Grandpa patriarch, where are you going?
——Everyone is going to perform a mission.

——Why did Cang Yu and Xiaoxiu also go?All of you have gone, am I the only one left at home?
——Yeah, when we're not around, the safety of the Sato family depends entirely on you, sorry for your help.

——Well, I know, when everyone is not at home, I will look after my home.

"You mean, all the members of the Sato clan..."

Sangsuke seemed to be in a daze, the snow-white human figure just sat aside, facing Sangsuke, without saying a word.

"...was refined into the Philosopher's Stone, in my eyes?"

The snow-white human figure let out a light laugh, which was full of joy, as if revealing that this incident was a prank that he found extremely interesting.

"Before you were nine years old, you were obviously an ignorant little kid, but after the Sato clan was 'exterminated', you seemed to have grown up overnight. inferior to adults."

"In terms of learning, whether it's the blunt and difficult forging technique, or the whimsical alchemy in this world, you can directly understand and accept it without any obstacles."

"Do you really think you are a rare genius once in a century or a thousand years? Sato Satosuke?" The snow-white figure paused, and then added sarcastically: "You are just a kid who is so lucky. "

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, Sangzhu was not as frustrated and dissatisfied as before. He suddenly calmed down, and the madness on his face also eased a bit.

"why?"

After a while, Sangzhu uttered these three words clearly.

"I told you." The Snow White Doll's tone was cold, "Because the only one who can gain Sato Tokisada's unreserved trust is you, Sato Tokisada's son, Sato Samsuke."

A memory fragment of the Gate of Truth.

The forging technique of the Sato family, the alchemy system that suddenly appeared.

Philosopher's Stone, Artificial Man, Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Virtues
The last meeting with Duanmu at Sato's home.

Everything that happened in the past seems to have an invisible thread, connecting everything that seems to be unrelated one by one.

That unfamiliar but somewhat familiar name resurfaced in Sangzhu's mind, and then blurted out.

"Celsus?"

The snow-white figure clapped its hands, "Congratulations, you got the answer right, but unfortunately there are no bonus points."

Sangsuke, who had sorted out his thoughts, ignored the snow-white figure who had turned on the halo of ridicule, and said to himself: "Before, I always thought that after my father separated from Duanmu and returned to Konoha to inherit the Sato clan, he didn't get a lot of connections. The information about Celsus, but now it seems that after returning to Konoha, my father has already started planning and started planning for Celsus."

"The extermination of the Sato family, the forging technique, the alchemy system, the gate of truth...and my eyes made of the Philosopher's Stone, are they all left to deal with Celsus in the future?" Sangsuke stretched out his hand lightly He lightly covered his right eye, "Why did my father put everything on me? Is it worth it?"

The snow-white figure lay down on the ground and said lazily, "Even if you are his son, he won't be so stupid as to put everything on you."

Sangzhu looked at the snow-white figure in doubt, "If he didn't entrust everything to me and put everything on me, father, does he have other plans?"

The snow-white figure lying on the ground kicked the door of truth with one foot after another, "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that he really saved a trick."

"Want to know?"

Sangzhu nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

The snow-white figure lying on the ground got up from the ground and sneered, "Since you want to, let's settle the score."

Looking at the puzzled expression on Sangzhu's face, the snow-white figure seemed to be in a better mood, and his tone became cheerful, "Could it be that you really think that after the human body is refined and the door of truth is seen, there is no need to pay any price?" Bar?"

The dark door of truth suddenly appeared behind Sangzhu, the door suddenly opened, and giant eyes appeared in the door of truth, carefully scrutinizing the blond boy in front of him with those impersonal, cold eyes.

"It's time to settle your toll, Sato Sansuke."

The voice of the snow-white human figure was like the devil's hell. His body was cold and he wanted to resist, but he didn't know how to resist. He vaguely noticed that there seemed to be some changes in his body, and an inexplicable feeling made him He was extremely uncomfortable. If he wanted to describe exactly what was going on, it would probably be
As if the body was hollowed out.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and Sangzhu looked back in a daze. The door of truth had been closed at some point.

"That's right." Sangsuke clapped his hands, and suddenly realized, "My eyes are made of Philosopher's Stones. Any tolls, tolls, should be settled with Philosopher's Stones, right?"

"Just now, you should have taken the Philosopher's Stone in my eyes as a toll, so I feel cold all over, right?"

Regarding Sangsuke's well-founded analysis, the snow-white figure directly scoffed, "Didn't you really notice that there is something missing from your body?"

Sangzhu looked at his whole body suspiciously. There were no missing organs in his body, and the functions of all organs were also functioning normally.

Apart from the chills just now, Cangzhu didn't feel any other discomfort.

So what is missing?
Facing the puzzled look in Sangzhu's eyes, the snow-white figure smiled, and pointed behind Sangzhu, "Look over there."

Sangzhu looked back, suddenly dumbfounded.

At some point, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes appeared behind him. The young man noticed Sangzhu's gaze on him and smiled awkwardly.

"I didn't expect that our first meeting would be on such an occasion, Sato Sansuke." The blond young man smiled softly, with a harmless look on his face.

"Who are you?" Those who can appear at the gate of truth must not be ordinary people, and Sangzhu doesn't believe that this young man is really as harmless as his appearance shows.

The blond youth opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, several black tentacles appeared behind him and tied him up.

"Sure enough, it's just as Sato Tokisada expected." The snow-white figure walked to Sangsuke's side, his tone piercingly cold.

"Finally caught you, Celsus."

PS: The outline has been simplified a bit, and a lot of plots [although interesting but useless to the main storyline] have been deleted.

PS2: The reason why I haven't updated for a few days is because I'm out and about.

PS3: Yes, I’m going out for a while, and I won’t have the chance to do it after school starts next week, so hurry up and take care of a lot of messy things, such as visas, parking spaces, rent, etc. Living alone feels very worrying .)
