Chapter 290: Naruto and Sasuke's Ambition, Chapter Return
Chapter 290 Naruto and Sasuke's Ambition, Return
Minato looked at Lu Li's eyes, then sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, it's better not to look at it."
He knew that the masked man was Obito. Even though Obito was a beast who killed his master, he was not without feelings for his disciple. The man was already dead, and he didn't want to see Obito's bloody head again.
Lu Li brought back Obito's entire body, mainly to facilitate Orochimaru's experiments and study the fusion of Hashirama's cells and the human body.
Seeing that Minato didn't want to watch, he just let it go.
After entering the base, Lu Li checked the progress of Orochimaru's experiment. Orochimaru was indeed a research genius. His Mangekyō had begun to absorb the Yang-style power of Hashirama's cells and was evolving towards a more perfect direction.
However, according to Lu Li's observation, it is impossible to directly transform into the Eternal Mark Mangekyō Sharingan at this rate, because without the human body as a breeding ground to nourish these eyes, the Mangekyō will stop transforming after reaching a certain extent.
He could only hope that Orochimaru's theory was correct, and that he could eventually produce a similar finished product, allowing him to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō through a hidden mission.
…………
"Brother Lu, they said that you defeated the Five Kage and the Five Jinchūriki all by yourself. Is that true?"
In the martial arts arena, during the break after training, Naruto asked Lu Li curiously.
When the other children heard Naruto's question, they all turned their gazes to Lu Li, with admiration in their eyes.
Even Sasuke was the same, but his eyes were a little complicated. After all, among the people who became stepping stones for Lu Li's fame, there was also his father.
He also learned that his father had become Hokage when his brother came over a few days ago, which made Sasuke very proud.
But when Sasuke thought about the fact that his family was actually making some shady deals with Lu Li, he felt very dissatisfied. He hoped that he could become stronger in the future and become a strong man who could defeat Lu Li head-on, rather than just acting, so that Uchiha could win.
This time, Lu Li had no intention of sparring with the Uchiha again because he had already completed the arrangements for Konoha. In the battle of Rain Country, he defeated the Five Kage with his strong strength. It was said that his father, the Hokage, was the first to be defeated.
Sasuke stared at Lu Li, hoping to hear Lu Li, the person involved, describe the true situation.
"Where did you hear that? It's not very accurate."
Lu Li said with a smile.
Sasuke's mind stirred, "Isn't this the real situation?"
"of course not."
Lu Li shook his head and said, "In addition to those people, I also took care of the elite jonin from the five countries."
Sasuke: …
He felt a little annoyed after hearing what Lu Li said, but he also felt that Lu Li's way of speaking seemed worthy of his reference and learning.
Lu Li satisfied the children's curiosity in the martial arts arena and gave them some pointers on physical skills. It was not until Minato came over that he let the children disperse to practice.
"Mr. Lu, do you keep your word?"
Minato looked at Lu Li with complicated eyes. As the Fourth Hokage, he had complicated feelings towards Lu Li.
They had fought side by side on the battlefield before, and both were equally famous geniuses on the battlefield, but in the end he became the Hokage, and Tianzai left for another place.
The natural disaster also led the plan to destroy Konoha. Even if the real purpose was to change the situation in Konoha, this made Minato unacceptable.
He could understand Lu Li personally, but as a Hokage he thought he should be hostile to Lu Li. However, the man at home didn't seem to have any opinion about Lu Li and was even grateful to Lu Li for reuniting them. For a moment, Minato was completely confused.
Now Lu Li has become a super celebrity in the ninja world. No one can rival him and he had proposed a deal with him before.
"Of course, as long as it is my formal commitment, I will never violate it."
Lu Li gave an example, "Even if it was the Mangekyō Sharingan, I gave it directly to Senior Orochimaru."
Minato was silent for a while after hearing this, then nodded, "Okay, I will go to the Rain Country with you. I don't have a choice anyway."
He knew that Lu Li would not lie. After all, he was merely summoned by the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation, and Orochimaru could control him forcefully. It was better to say that the fact that Lu Li came to make a deal with him was a sign of respect for him.
"You can go by yourself. I have already said hello to Nagato. I have some things to do in the Land of Rice."
Lu Li had no intention of wasting his precious time on the journey. He planned to use the remaining time to sort out what he had gained in the Naruto world and digest those things that required certification before they could be taken away, so as to maximize his gains.
Minato was a little surprised when he heard this, but he did not question Lu Li's decision. He just felt that Lu Li's status in the Akatsuki organization was higher than he thought.
The content of the deal between Lu Li and him was very simple, that is, Minato would go to the Rain Country to be Nagato's long-term power bank, and when Nagato needed it, he would also contribute half of the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body.
Because Nagato wants to become the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, he cannot become the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails now, so he can only absorb energy from the outside. The Nine-Tails in Minato's body is a good object for absorption.
According to Lu Li's estimation, Nagato would become very healthy if he absorbed the Nine-Tailed Fox's power once a week, and he would have no pressure in supporting the Outer Path Statue.
In his free time, Minato doesn't have to stay in the Land of Rain all the time. He can also return to the Land of Rice to teach Naruto.
As for the agreement to extract the tailed beast, it is in the future tense. Even Lu Li cannot be sure what the situation will be like in a few years, and it may not be useful by then.
And even if he wanted to draw, Minato was already a dead man, and he wouldn't die again in the Impure World Reincarnation state, so it wouldn't have any effect on him.
The one who is most dissatisfied with this matter is the half of the Nine-Tailed Fox in Minato's body, which is now clamoring to kill Lu Li.
After arranging everything, Lu Li began to use the shadow clone to open the book in the mission world.
He had to use the remaining time to learn as many forbidden techniques as possible from the Konoha Forbidden Techniques Collection, which would not only replenish the nutrients of the Origin Spirit Seed, but could also be used in specific scenarios in the future.
…………
"Sparasi——"
Orochimaru looked at the pair of eyes in the culture fluid in front of him and made a sound of amazement.
"Senior, you are truly a genius in the research field."
Lu Li also looked at this pair of eyes excitedly, because Orochimaru had really found the best fusion ratio of Yin-Yang Release through comparative experiments with Obito's Mangekyō, allowing this pair of Mangekyō to evolve.
Although in Lu Li's opinion, this pair of kaleidoscopes that have not yet awakened any pupil skills cannot meet the standard of eternity, he thinks this may be because this pair of eyes does not have a real owner.
Only when it falls on its master and performs the awakening eye technique will it become a complete Mangekyō Sharingan.
At this point, his joint hidden mission was considered completed, which was really thrilling.
Because today is his last day in the Naruto world. If Orochimaru delays for a few more days, he will not be able to receive this highest reward.
"Haha, Mr. Lu, you're too kind. This is all thanks to the research funds and experimental samples you provided."
Orochimaru was even happier to be praised in the field of research than in the field of ninjutsu. With Lu Li's successful case, he believed that he could also overcome the sequelae of transplanting Sharingan to non-Uchiha bloodline. He has been in a good mood recently, not only because the experiment went smoothly, but also because he found that the two disciples he accepted have great potential.
Not to mention Sasuke, even Naruto, whom he originally looked down upon, showed amazing talent after the Nine-Tails' chakra stabilized.
He was indeed a bit careless before, but come to think of it, Naruto is Minato's son, so his talent can't be bad.
This yellow-haired boy may seem unruly, but who knows, he might be a genius who is as good as Sasuke, or even stronger than Sasuke.
The two disciples' training progress advanced by leaps and bounds, and Orochimaru seemed to have seen the day when these two would become super ninjas like Lu Li. By that time, Naruto and Sasuke would dominate the ninja world, and he, as their teacher, would also be proud.
Lu Li put away the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan on the experimental table, and indeed received a prompt that the hidden task was completed. This pair of Eternal Mangekyō became a task reward to be activated. As long as he used it after returning to the space, he could get an exclusive Mangekyō.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior. Now that the matter here is over, I have some things to do."
Lu Li has already thought of a reason for his disappearance, laying the groundwork for his next return to the Naruto world.
"Oh? What's the important matter? Our experiment just succeeded, shouldn't we celebrate tonight?"
Orochimaru asked cheerfully.
"Before, Obito claimed that he was Uchiha Madara. I think this is suspicious. After my previous investigation and analysis during this period, I suspect that Uchiha Madara may not really be dead, or he may have made some plans before his death."
Lu Li said, "I feel uneasy if I don't figure this out, so I plan to investigate the place where Obito died for the first time."
"I see. It's easy to find out whether he's dead or not. I can just try the Impure World Reincarnation."
Orochimaru thought he had come up with an excellent solution.
Lu Li was shocked when he heard this, "Senior, please don't do anything rash. Do you have Uchiha Madara's body tissue?"
"Yes, I have."
Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and said, "I got it together with Hashirama's cells back then."
Lu Li was speechless. It turned out that the Uchiha Madara cells that Koto got came from you. You two are really a duo seeking your own death.
It’s a good thing that Orochimaru didn’t try to summon Uchiha Madara, otherwise there would be big trouble after Uchiha Madara broke free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.
"Senior, please don't try recklessly. I doubt that if the person summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation is strong enough, including Hashirama Senju, he will be able to break free. I will investigate the matter of Uchiha Madara..."
At this point, Lu Li thought for a moment and added, "Regarding the matter of Madara, if I am not present at the next organizational meeting, please mention it to the leader and let him be more vigilant."
Orochimaru was somewhat confused after hearing what Lu Li said. As smart as he was, he already felt that Lu Li was going to "disappear from the face of the earth".
But he and Lu Li were only in a cooperative relationship, and he had no intention of asking Lu Li's real purpose. Anyway, he was very comfortable doing research in Tianzhi Country.
"In that case, Mr. Lu, please be careful on the road."
Orochimaru bid farewell to Lu Li with a forced smile, while he continued to study Obito's eyes.
After Lu Li walked out of the base, he saw Sasuke and Naruto practicing in the training ground, and Itachi standing next to them.
"senior."
When Itachi saw Lu Li coming, he greeted him politely.
"How's Konoha doing lately? Is everything okay with the clan?"
Lu Li inquired.
"Thanks to you, Senpai, the reconstruction of Konoha is going smoothly, and the Uchiha are getting along better with the village."
Itachi said with emotion, looking at Lu Li with gratitude.
Thinking about it now, it really seems like a dream. A few months ago, he was still considering whether to ruthlessly exterminate the clan, but now his father has become Hokage, and the conflicts between the village and the Uchiha are becoming less and less, and the situation seems to be very harmonious.
"Want to be Hokage?"
Lu Li asked with a smile.
Itachi shook his head. "I am not suitable for that position. My father is still young and strong. If the village does not have elites from other tribes in the future, out of selfishness, I would rather Sasuke become the Hokage."
At this time, Sasuke and Naruto finished their sparring, and this time Sasuke was slightly better.
Sasuke smiled when he heard his brother's words. He didn't expect his brother to have such high expectations of him. He was very happy, "Brother, I will definitely work hard to become Hokage!"
Naruto on the side got up from the ground and said with a pout: "Tsk, what's so good about being a Hokage? When I grow up, I want to join the Akatsuki organization like Brother Lu and become a strong man that terrorizes all countries."
"Naruto, you are not allowed to join the Akatsuki organization. That is an organization that only rebel ninjas will join. You have to come back to Konoha with me!"
Sasuke was unhappy to hear what Naruto said. Although his brother and father respected Lu Li very much, he was not convinced and felt that Akatsuki was a rebel ninja organization after all and was "unjust".
He was going to be the Hokage in the future, so how could he watch the Jinchuriki of his village, and his friend whom he was unwilling to acknowledge, join the Akatsuki organization?
Lu Li found this scene very interesting. He thought that under the guidance of Minato and his wife, Naruto would be led back to Konoha by the thinking board, but it turned out not to be the case.
On the contrary, Sasuke's family was not destroyed and his father became Hokage, so he is now striving to become Hokage.
Will there ever be a situation where Naruto defects and Sasuke goes after him in the future?
"Senior, what are you laughing at?"
Itachi looked at the inexplicable smile on Lu Li's lips and felt very strange.
"It's nothing, I remembered something happy."
Lu Li said as he turned around and waved to Itachi, "I have something to run, see you later."
Naruto wanted to say something to Lu Li, but after hearing what Sasuke said, the two of them started arguing again. For a moment, the two children butted their heads together and glared at each other.
Itachi looked at Lu Li's back, and for some reason, he felt as if he wouldn't see his senior for a long time.
Lu Li smiled as he listened to the noise behind him, then walked deeper into the forest, feeling the breeze on his face and breathing the air of this world again.
As the sun sets, Lu Li's time in this world reaches its limit.
The white light fell and the natural disaster returned.
