Chapter 251 Little Naruto

Chapter 251 Little Naruto
boom--

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Lu Li waved his hand and several bodies appeared on the ground, "Are these okay?"

Orochimaru's eyes changed, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled sinisterly: "Mr. Lu, if you do this, the Hidden Mist Village will probably hate you to death."

The bodies on the ground were none other than the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, Hoshigaki Kisame, and Yun Lian.

Lu Li did not want to insult Yagura's determination, so he did not capture him alive and then break him down to use as a weapon in Konoha. However, this did not mean that he had to continue to consider his dignity after Yagura died heroically and completed the heroic farewell of the Mizukage.

Right now the combat power of the Sound Village is seriously insufficient. From the acting point of view, apart from the two bosses, themselves and Orochimaru, they don't even have an elite monster on their side, which makes it impossible to put any pressure on the Konoha ninjas.

You have to know that Konoha's high-level combat power is not ordinary. Elite jonin like Kakashi and Might Guy are all first-class fighters. If Master Kai opens the eight gates, Lu Li will have to go around him.

If they were all just miscellaneous soldiers, they would quickly be wiped out by Konoha's elite jonin, and the Uchiha clan would have no chance to show off.

Before he retreated, he considered whether the Sand Village might be unable to form an alliance, so he used the storage space to collect several bodies on the ground.

"It doesn't matter. The more they hate me, the more stable Zabuza's position will be. This will be beneficial to my future actions."

Lu Li gave these bodies to Orochimaru just as a starting point. I believe that after being reminded, Orochimaru will prepare more high-quality dead bodies to go on stage.

He also gave away Yun Lian's body because he wanted to try whether the Impure World Reincarnation could revive the explorer.

"Then I will accept it without mercy."

Orochimaru asked his men to carry the body back, and then said with a smile, "Lu Jun, you should know that Pein told you to keep a low profile, right? If we attack Konoha, it would be equivalent to betraying the Akatsuki organization."

"So, are you scared, Senior?"

It was impossible for Lu Li to stop the progress of his hidden mission just because of Nagato's warning. Moreover, he had just received a message from Itachi that the situation of the Uchiha clan took a sharp turn for the worse because of the appearance of Obito.

In order to prevent Obito from causing trouble behind the scenes, and to prevent Konoha from making an irrational decision to destroy the Uchiha clan, Lu Li had to go to Konoha in person and take charge in secret.

"Hehe, I joined Akatsuki just out of curiosity. Now it seems that there is no hope for the Rinnegan. I might as well fulfill my long-cherished wish first."

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly. He had nothing to pretend in front of Lu Li, and said frankly that he joined Akatsuki just because he coveted the Rinnegan.

"The Rinnegan... Senior, have you ever thought about how the Rinnegan was born? The Uchiha clan is the descendant of the Six Paths Sage, and so is the Senju clan of the first Hokage. Perhaps when their bloodlines collide, something miraculous will happen."

Lu Li reminded Orochimaru that he himself did not understand scientific research, but he had read the comics and could provide Orochimaru with the correct research direction.

Although he did not think that the fusion of Yin-Yang bloodlines would give birth to the Rinnegan, after all, the Rinnegan seemed to be unique, and it was difficult to say whether a second pair would be born in a living person when there was already one pair.

But this research idea is not wrong. If Orochimaru conducts research in this direction, he can at least speed up the research progress of the Eternal Mangekyo.

"Oh? That's an interesting point. I'll try it when I get back."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that even if he didn't go after Pain, he might still have hope of recreating the Rinnegan through science.

After the two communicated about the details of the plan to destroy Konoha, they acted separately. Orochimaru went to the Sand Village, while Lu Li went straight to Konoha.

After leaving Sound Village, Lu Li received a hint about the End Space.

[Hidden mission. Zabuza's Ambition has been completed, and the reward is a Kirigakure Ninjutsu Complete Scroll*1]

Lu Li originally thought that this reward was given to him by Zabuza, but he didn't expect it to be distributed directly from the space.

He checked the details. This was a dark gold quality skill scroll. After using it, he could learn all the ninjutsu and secret techniques recorded in writing in Kirigakure. This scroll alone could irrigate his origin spirit seed for a long time.

Since he has already received the reward, it means that Zabuza from the Hidden Mist Village has successfully become the Mizukage, earlier than he expected and very smoothly.

[The reputation of the Pioneers in each camp has changed significantly, please check. 】

The prompt sounded again, asking Lu Li to check in the world menu.

[Cloud Hidden Village Faction Reputation: -6121 (Blood Feud)]

[Sand Village Camp Reputation: -3073 (Hostile)]

[Iwagakure Faction Reputation: 2009 (Friendly)]

[Muye Village Faction Reputation: -1533 (Indifferent)]

[Mist Hidden Village Camp Reputation: -15632 (Irreconcilable)]

[Akatsuki Organization (with Nagato as the main) Faction Reputation: 5000 (Respected)]

Lu Li looked at his updated reputation and felt that he seemed to be the number one "terrorist" in the ninja world. Except for the Iwagakure Village, which was currently watching the show and was probably thinking of hiring him to cause trouble because of his powerful combat power, and was in a friendly relationship with other ninja villages, his reputation with other ninja villages was all negative.

The Hidden Mist Village was even more hostile to him. It was the first time he had seen such a high reputation value, even though it was negative...

He was somewhat surprised by the reputation of Akatsuki, as he had not expected that he had reached the respected level.

But if you think about it carefully, the organization is currently losing talent, and he is apparently the strongest. Although he did not do a good job in capturing the Jinchūriki, he also made a name for the organization, so it is reasonable that he has some positive reputation.

Lu Li would not think that these reputations were useless. According to his experience, titles were linked to reputations. He was looking forward to what new titles he could get after his return.

…………One day later, leaving aside the scene where Orochimaru was defeated in the Sand Village, Lu Li had already sneaked into Konoha.

Considering that the Akatsuki organization's windbreaker looked too eye-catching, Lu Li had to reluctantly spend some End Coins to change its appearance again, turning it into his original windbreaker as Midnight Walker.

His speed was much faster than that of ordinary ninjas, and he could stay in the air with his instant step, so it didn't take him much effort to sneak into Konoha.

Lu Li gathered a certain amount of chakra and used transformation techniques to change his face. He looked like a handsome man with a gentle temperament, walking on the streets of Konoha.

The Ninja World War had ended eight years ago, and Konoha had enjoyed peace for quite some time. The streets and alleys were prosperous, and there were few ninjas who would be so vigilant as to observe whether the other party was using transformation techniques or something like that.

As for whether the patrolling guards can see through it? Of course, after all, the guards are from the Uchiha clan. If they are Uchiha with open eyes, they can immediately see the chakra fluctuations of the transformation technique.

After all, transformation is a regular ninjutsu, and the kids in the ninja school often play with it. As long as they pass the entry test, the villagers are considered to be "good citizens", so even if they find someone using transformation, it won't be too strange.

So, Lu Li strolled openly on the streets of Konoha, and ordered a bowl of noodles at Ichiraku Ramen, a famous check-in spot for Naruto, and started eating.

All I can say is that 'Otsutsuki Ichiraku' lives up to its reputation, the taste is first-rate, the noodles are chewy and smooth, and paired with the carefully prepared soup, the rich aroma hits his taste buds.

Paired with a bite of barbecued pork, it is simply irresistible. No wonder Naruto always loves to visit this store.

Lu Li's appetite was not to be underestimated. He ate 18 bowls of rice in a row before paying the bill under Uncle Yi Le's shocked gaze.

"What a great craftsmanship! I haven't had such delicious noodles in a long time."

Lu Li exclaimed in admiration. Using the identification function of the space, Ichiraku Ramen was actually a purple quality food. Although the ingredients used were not extraordinary, it was evident that its taste was exceptional.

"As long as you are satisfied, come again next time."

Uncle Yile smiled brightly; he loved hearing customers praise his cooking skills.

"Let's have a chance next time."

Lu Li stretched when he stood up, "The ninja world has been in turmoil recently. I suggest that you learn more about evacuation these days, uncle."

After saying that, he opened the curtain under Uncle Ichiraku's confused gaze and walked out of the ramen shop.

Outside the ramen shop, a figure wearing the uniform of the Konoha Guard was standing on the street and glanced at him nonchalantly.

It's Uchiha Itachi.

They just looked at each other and confirmed their identities, but did not start talking.

Itachi left a secret code and asked Lu Li to meet him in the forest of the Uchiha clan at night.

Lu Li continued to stroll through the streets of Konoha like an ordinary traveler. When he reached the park, he heard a quarrel.

He turned around and saw a yellow-haired boy arguing with a few kids. After a few words, they started fighting.

The yellow-haired kid was none other than Uzumaki Naruto, the protagonist of the manga Naruto.

At this time, Naruto was angrily fighting with several boys, "You are bullying others, that's too much!"

Lu Li looked behind Naruto and saw a short-haired girl standing by the wall with her hands in her pockets and a timid look in her eyes. She said worriedly, "Naruto-kun, don't fight."

Seeing this, Lu Li touched his chin and thought, isn’t this Hinata?
He remembered that something like this seemed to have happened in the original work. Those boys said Hinata was a white-eyed monster. Naruto got very angry and started arguing with them.

When he was a child reading the comics, he thought this plot was quite romantic, but he also felt it was outrageous. After all, the Hyuga clan was the "most powerful family in Konoha". Was there really anyone in Konoha who didn't know what the Byakugan was?

But Hinata is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, how can she endure such injustice?
Lu Li had nothing to do, so he sat on a bench in the park and watched the show. Naruto's stamina was not to be underestimated, and he eventually drove those kids away. Hinata wanted to go up and thank him, but because she was shy, she couldn't muster up the courage and finally ran away.

The sun gradually set and everyone in the park had left, leaving only the wounded Naruto, looking a little dazed.

Facing the setting sun, his lonely back was stretched very long.

After a while, he walked to the swing not far from Lu Li and sat down, swinging slowly and stealing a glance at Lu Li from time to time.

Naruto noticed that this uncle or older brother had been sitting in the park since the afternoon and had not left. No one came to see him and he looked very lonely.

He really wanted to go up and ask the other person what he was doing sitting there.

After a while, he stood up, whistled with his face turned sideways as if nothing had happened, walked to Lu Li, and sat down on the empty space on the bench.

"I just heard from that girl, your name is Naruto?"

Lu Li looked at the little Naruto sitting next to him, thoughts surging in his mind.

He was a little skeptical at first, thinking that if Naruto existed as a real world, Naruto would not have lived such a miserable life.

But the fact is that as the nine-tailed demon fox, Naruto is ostracized by the people in the village, and parents tell their children not to play with Naruto.

Young Naruto lived a lonely life. The only person who cared about him on a daily basis was the Third Hokage who would visit him occasionally.

This is not a comic, but the real world, so Lu Li has to think about the intention of the Third Hokage doing this.

Did he really not know about Naruto's situation? The villagers ostracized Naruto as a demon fox, so how could he not know?
