Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

"Do you feel my presence? Son of Man..."

"Since you have defeated the gods, you cannot continue to live as a mortal..."

"Son of humanity, savor your destiny carefully, don't stop..."

Boruto was lying on the lawn, looking at the black prismatic mark on his palm through the light, and what Otsutsuki Momoshiki said to himself before he died came to mind.

"Will I eventually become Momoshiki Otsutsuki?" he asked, tilting his head.

Sitting next to him, Chuanmu nodded slightly when he heard his question.

"According to what I know in the shell organization, when the wedge is completely 'thawed', our physical bodies, and even our memories, will no longer belong to us."

"Instead, it's a big tree that's planted wedges on us."

"If you two little guys don't take good care of your injuries, what are you talking about here?" Naruto walked to the two of them and sat down.

"Daddy, do you like the food?" Bo Ren put his hands on the ground and sat up straight.

"not bad."

"I always thought my mother's cooking skills were better than those of hotel chefs." Boruto scratched his head and smiled.

"Can you tell me, what were you guys talking about just now?" Naruto lay on the lawn with his head in his hands, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds above.

The breeze blew, the leaves whirled, and the light flickered in the gaps. A long-lost sense of relaxation flooded his heart.

"Daddy, I might become a big tree." Bo Ren's tone was a bit lonely.

"Hasn't it changed yet?" Naruto watched his expression from the corner of his eye, "As long as things are not a foregone conclusion, anything is possible."

"When Momoshiki Otsutsuki was alive, you could kill him. How much trouble can a dead person cause?"

"Kawaki, are you right?"

Kawaki was stunned. He was surprised that the other party would talk to him. He glanced at his left hand and nodded heavily.

"Correct."

Time passed little by little while chatting with each other.

……

Konoha Reference Room.

From the shadows, a figure wearing a black robe and a mask suddenly rushed out, knocking the Konoha ninja on duty to the ground with just a simple blow.

沙~

Dragging the unconscious ninja to a corner to hide, the man in black rushed out a few steps, reached the deepest wooden door, and gently pushed it open.

On both sides of the room, countless scrolls are neatly placed on the bookshelves.

The man in black robe had a clear goal and directly targeted the bookshelf at the deepest part of the room. There were very few scrolls placed there, with only three on the highest floor.

He swept his eyes, but he didn't make a move.

"Is this what you are looking for?" A voice suddenly appeared behind him.

The man in black robe turned his eyes back and saw Kakashi Hatake, the former Sixth Generation Hokage, leaning on the bookshelf, tossing a scroll up and down in his hand.

"Unfortunately, the electronic data you stole before only recorded the ninja data after the Fourth Ninja World War. Before the war, we followed the tradition and recorded them on the physical scroll." Kakashi grabbed the scroll and walked slowly. walk towards each other.

The man in black robe just looked at him quietly.

The distance between the two kept getting closer, three meters, two meters...

In an instant, the flames flickered!

The two figures intertwined quickly. There were no powerful or eye-catching ninjutsus, but only simple and extremely simple blade collisions.

Because he was eager to know the identity of the other party, Kakashi did not kill him immediately.

But after the actual fight, I realized that the opponent's strength was far from what I imagined.

In the competition of physical skills, to a certain extent, he also fell into a disadvantage.

Noisy!

Purple lightning condensed in his hands.

If you can't beat physical skills, then you can only use ninjutsu...

Kakashi thought to himself.

The electric light pierced into the opponent's body.

Bang!

Looking out of the corner of the eye, the real body of the enemy appeared on the side. Seeing the seal in the opponent's hand, Kakashi's face changed slightly, and he was about to defend.

A burst of purple smoke that blocked people's sight exploded.

Kakashi reacted and rushed into the smoke, but the enemy was nowhere to be seen.

Outside, on a building, the man in black looked at the reference room in the distance, and slowly took off his hood.

"At the same time fighting with Seventh Hokage and Uchiha Sasuke, even if he, I am afraid that there is not much chakra left, the time to act has come..."

"Your Excellency is not Konoha's ninja, right?"

Another voice sounded behind him, Layman Guoxin's complexion changed, it was different from what he had noticed earlier, if the other party hadn't spoken this time, he wouldn't have known there was someone standing behind him.

"I have no intention of taking action." Naruto walked up to him.

"Who are you?" A trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of Layman Guoxin. Konoha hides such a strong person, and the Shell Organization has no relevant information.

"A passer-by." Naruto looked at him, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes, "I seem to have seen you somewhere."

The opponent's life fluctuations gave him a sense of familiarity, but before coming to this world, he had only seen Boruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

"I haven't seen you before." Layman Guoxin said.

"Maybe it's my delusion."

Naruto did not continue to dwell on this, "Are you from the Shell Organization?"

"You're not going to stop me?"

"I don't have such an idea." Naruto shook his head. He came to this world only to respond to Boruto's request and to understand Otsuki Ichishiki's strength.

Not to save Konoha.

"They are coming, run for your life." Patting him on the shoulder, Naruto disappeared on the spot before him.

The layman Guo Xin only felt inexplicable for a while. He formed seals with his hands and returned to the base of the Shell Organization through reverse channeling.

But he didn't notice that there was a small black rune on the clothes on his shoulders.

Walking in the stone corridor, after turning several corners, a middle-aged man with white hair leaned against the stone wall, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

The man's hair is neatly combed, he wears a pair of glasses with orange lenses, a beard on his chin, and a chain necklace around his neck. He is wearing a black shirt and black trousers, showing his sophistication.

"Cixian is in the treatment room, and his Chakra recovery is less than ten percent." The middle-aged man pushed his glasses, "The other personnel in the inner formation also have their own missions, and they are not in the base."

"The opportunity has come."

"I understand." Layman Guoxin nodded slightly, "Do you need me to take you away?"

"please."

The middle-aged man picked up the long iron box next to him.

"Spirituality!"

Layman Guoxin summoned a giant toad that was half steel and half flesh.

"It will take you to Konoha." He said, and the steam toad opened its mouth wide.

"What are you doing?" A clear female voice gradually approached.

The two of them turned around and saw a tall beauty with long yellow hair walking out of the corridor and looking at them warily.

Guoxin Jushi was about to step forward to deal with him, but the middle-aged man reached out and held him down.

"It's not a big problem...It's time to sleep, Diluda."

As soon as his words fell, the yellow-haired woman lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man walked into the mouth of the steam toad and sat on the long iron box.

Looking at the steam toad closing its giant mouth, Master Guo Xin formed a seal with his hands and activated the reverse psychic technique, and the two disappeared.
