Chapter 21 Strength

The only real immortals in the world of Naruto are Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Great Sages of the Three Holy Lands. Others, including the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Otsutsuki Hamura, Asura and Indra, did not escape death. At most, they only managed to survive forever in spirit and chakra.

Kaguya became immortal by eating the chakra fruit produced by the sacred tree that absorbed natural chakra, while the great sages of the three holy places relied on magic to absorb natural chakra, so natural chakra is the key to immortality. Chakra is extracted from the energy of one's own cells, which impairs lifespan, so few ninjas live long.

Natural chakra is like the spiritual energy in the past life, which can nourish the body, continuously replenish the body, effectively improve the body and increase life span.

"It's probably just the strength of the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara!" Neji's tone was slightly uncertain. As for the path to immortality that Neji was studying, Neji would not fully explain it to Kakashi. After all, it was a bit shocking. Kakashi Xi found it hard to believe.

"The god of the ninja world!" Although Kakashi had already guessed it, he still couldn't help but take a breath when he heard Neji admit it himself.

"I've been chatting too much, and I've forgotten the real thing. Did Kakashi-senpai come to the ramen shop just to pay attention to Uzumaki Naruto?" Neji looked at the shocked Kakashi and felt that it was unkind to keep hitting Kakashi. Pretending to suddenly remember, he patted his head with his hand and abruptly changed the subject.

"With your strength, you should have noticed it. I can't hide it from you. Naruto's identity is very special and has extraordinary significance to Konoha." The look on Kakashi's face was full of memories.

"Is Naruto special because of the little fox inside him?" Neji naturally knew that the Nine-Tails was sealed inside Naruto, so he was not surprised.

"Little fox, that is the legendary tailed beast, the Nine Tails, a symbol of death and disaster!" Kakashi didn't realize what the little fox Neji was talking about at first. After reacting, he immediately introduced the terror of the Kyuubi to Neji in an exaggerated manner.

"Hey! Forget it, maybe the Kyuubi is really just a little fox to a monster like you!" Kakashi sighed unconsciously, and then he remembered that the boy in front of him was a monster comparable to the first Hokage Senju Hashirama , Kyuubi is indeed just a little fox in the eyes of the other party.

"Naruto has a special status not only because he has the Nine Tails sealed in his body. As for the reason, the Third Hokage has issued a confidentiality order, I can't tell you!" Kakashi looked confused and helpless.

"The son of the Fourth Hokage?" Neji thought silently, knowing Naruto's life experience very well in his heart, but he couldn't say he knew it, otherwise he couldn't explain the reason.

"I understand Kakashi-senpai's difficulties, so let's go out."

Kakashi looked at the steaming ramen in front of him and saw that although he had been in the fantasy space for a long time, he could react to the outside world almost instantly.

Kakashi couldn't help but remember the magic of the spiritual space, and his admiration for Neji was beyond words. At the same time, he became more vigilant about the danger of Uchiha Itachi.

"2 servings of miso ramen, 1 serving of tonkotsu ramen, and one serving of seafood ramen. Your ramen is ready. I wish you a happy meal!" Iris' cheerful voice made the diners feel happy, like a cheerful lark. .

"I'm going to start!"

"I'm going to start!"

Xiao Li and the others didn't notice at all how many things happened in an instant, they only focused on the delicious food in front of them.

"It looks pretty good!" Neji looked at the large amount of seafood in the bowl in front of him, smelled the aroma, and was somewhat sure of the most famous delicacy in Naruto.

"Of course, Ichiraku Ramen is the most delicious food in the world!" Naruto, who was sitting not far away, just finished finishing his ramen. When he heard Neji commenting on his favorite food, he couldn't help but interrupt.

"Ah, really? Then I have to taste it carefully!" Neji's reaction to Naruto was nothing special. He would neither be pleased that Naruto was the original protagonist and be enthusiastic, nor would he be excited because Naruto was the protagonist. cold.

This is the calmness brought by strength. No matter what situation he encounters, Neji has the confidence to get through it. Therefore, he just regarded Naruto as a familiar stranger and had some good feelings, but he would not take the initiative to get close to Naruto.

"Suck it." Neci took a chopstick and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. He couldn't help but nodded.

"It's indeed delicious." Neji looked at Naruto who was eagerly waiting for his evaluation and gave a positive compliment.

"Yes, yes, Ichiraku Ramen is definitely the most delicious food!" Naruto jumped excitedly after hearing Neji's words.

"I won't disturb your meal. I am Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto bowed and ran away without looking back. Naruto was afraid that Neji would hate him like the other villagers upon hearing his name.

Kakashi remained silent without saying a word until Naruto left, then he looked away from the ramen. He sighed, but didn't say a word. But there was some intolerance and pity in his expression.

"I've finished eating. Kakashi, why did you only eat half of it? I won the duel between us again! Hahahaha!" Mike Kay didn't notice Kakashi's strangeness at all, and he wanted to fight with Kakashi. Fight for victory.

"Ah, who are you? Are you talking to me? I'm sorry I didn't notice you at all!" Kakashi's face was blank, as if he was asking who Kai was.

"Damn it, Kakashi, don't try to cheat.

! I'm Kai. "When Mike Kay heard Kakashi's usual perfunctory tone, his face turned red with anger, and white smoke came out of his head.

"Ah, it's Kai. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. After all, it's hard for people to remember you." Kakashi acted nonchalantly, his tone was very calm, but the content of his words made people want to beat him up. pause.

"Ahhh!"

"You are worthy of being my lifelong rival, Kakashi, let's have a competition of youth!" Kai issued a request for a competition, his face full of desire to fight. Spread your arms and make a lunge with your feet.

"Suck, suck!" Kakashi sucked the ramen in the bowl into his mouth in two big mouths, and disappeared in front of Kai with a teleportation technique.

"Dismissed, we will gather at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning." Mike Kay hurriedly told Neji and the others.

"Kakashi, don't try to get rid of me!" Kai hurriedly chased after him, completely forgetting to pay the bill.

"Teacher Kai, are you trying to default on your debt?" Tiantian asked Neji blankly.

"Teacher Kai is not such a person, he just forgot for a moment." Xiao Li's favorable impression of Kai was absolutely perfect, and he eagerly defended Kai.

"It's okay, don't worry. I'll buy the ramen today. It's a celebration of us becoming teammates in a team. If you're not full, just order more. You're welcome." Neji understood that Kai was not sincere and just met Kakashi. , you won’t notice anything else at all.

"Then you're welcome, I want another ramen." Xiao Li continued to struggle with delicious food without any politeness.

"Then let me have one too." Tiantian said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed.
