Chapter 40

Each of the clones is as powerful as the Kage?

Doesn't that mean that if Frost Shadow plus this Nine-Faced Subaha, the Frost Village will have ten Kages?

Naruto and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, somewhat unbelievable.

"You, you, no! Lord Frost Shadow, are you really going to let us summon them?"

Naruto asked incoherently.

"Of course."

Frost Shadow nodded and smiled.

"But it's not that easy to get their approval."

"You need to accept nine spiritual tests before you can contract to summon them."

"Nine spiritual tests?" Sasuke asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, nine very difficult tests. Only those who have completely passed all the tests are eligible to receive their favor."

Frost Shadow said with a smile.

"In fact, these nine are the incarnations of obsessions that were cut out of the bodies of ancient immortals after they became Buddhas, so... the so-called test, you can also think of it as breaking their obsessions."

"Yeah? Do I have to break all nine obsessions at the same time?! This is simply impossible to accomplish, right?"

Naruto knew what obsession meant.

It was as if his obsession was to become a Hokage and to fulfill his dream.

How to break this?

This is simply impossible to break!

"Old Shimokage, you didn't succeed yourself, did you?"

"Haha, this is a secret. Anyway, I'll give you the opportunity. I don't care whether you can do it or not."

Shimokage heard that Naruto, this little guy, changed his face faster than turning a book, and asked with a smile while stroking his beard.

"Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"Of course! It won't hurt to give it a try. What if you succeed?"

Naruto curled his lips in dissatisfaction, then looked at the nine statues and walked towards the god of death with great interest. For no other reason, he simply thought that the god of death holding a long-handled scythe was the most handsome.

"Hey, old man Frost Shadow, how do I start the test?"

"Just touch the statue with your hand and recite the test in your heart."

Well, you are lucky. You chose the most difficult one.

Frost Shadow laughed in his heart, but his voice was very calm.

"Okay, then, let Naruto take care of the first one first!"

Naruto closed his eyes with full fighting spirit and reached out to touch the statue of the god of death.

"Then I will choose the golden snake."

Sasuke looked around and finally walked under the golden snake.

"Then I will choose the goddess."

Sakura took a deep breath and walked towards the goddess.

Xichuan Xia stood still, after all, she was just an ordinary person, and even if she passed the test, she didn't have the chakra to communicate with these immortals.

Besides, for her, rewards or something, it would be more practical to let Lord Shimokage remember that there is such a person as her.

...

"Eh? Where is this?"

When Naruto's hand touched the statue of the god of death, he opened his eyes again, but found himself in an unknown place.

It was night, and there was a bright moon in the sky. From the waxing and waning of the moon, it can be known that this should be around the tenth day of the month.

Moreover, the temperature was not cold, nor was it hot, probably around October.

"Time, place, weather, all changed?"

Naruto unzipped his coat and felt less hot.

Except for not being able to see the attribute panel, everything felt so real, and it was completely impossible to tell that this was a test!

Naruto thought with some surprise.

"Now confirm..."

Roar! ! !

Just when Naruto was about to determine where he was, a beast's roar suddenly came from the back of the mountain not far from him.

For some reason, Naruto felt that the roar sounded familiar.

So he hurried to the place where the sound came from.

After a while, he climbed over the top of the mountain, and the claws of a huge nine-tailed fox monster pierced the bodies of a man and a woman, and under the claws was a newborn baby!

"Damn it! Hang on!"

Seeing this, Naruto flew over to save people without saying a word, and even forgot that he was being tested.

"Naruto... No matter whether it's delicious or not, don't be picky, you must eat more, so that you can grow strong."

What?

Naruto came to the couple in an instant, looking at the huge wounds pierced by the claws of the demon fox, and the baby on the altar, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Madam, did you call my name just now?"

Naruto looked at the red-haired woman in front of him in disbelief. This woman actually looked a little similar to him!

"Remember to make friends. It doesn't matter how many you have. As long as you can make true friends... even if there are only a few, it's enough.....”

“Fourth generation?”

Naruto saw that the red-haired woman was still talking, so he looked at Minato Namikaze, but the two of them seemed not to notice his existence.

So he had to patiently listen to the red-haired woman's last words.

“Don't borrow money unless it is absolutely necessary, and the rewards from the mission must be kept well.”

“Finally, it’s women... As for women... Mom is also a woman, so I don’t know much... Mom hopes you can find a girl like mom, and don’t be easily seduced by strange people.”

“You will encounter many painful and sad things in the future. You must firmly maintain your own self and have dreams. And, you must have the confidence to realize your dreams... Naruto, I love you.”

“You, are? "

Naruto's eyes widened. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he realized that the two people in front of him should be his parents whom he had never met before.

It turns out that my parents are not from the Corpse Bone Vein.

Naruto looked at the sky and thought about the nonsense, trying hard not to cry.

"Well~ But, speaking of it, you died easily, and I was forced to face these things alone. It's really hard to like it. "

Oh~

Naruto looked at the couple who died after launching the Eight Diagrams Seal, and then looked at the baby on the altar and couldn't help sighing.

He had experienced too many sad and painful things.

Now it seems that the reason for all this is because his parents stuffed the demon fox into his body.

Well.

It's miserable enough to be an orphan, and you two gave me a super double.

Don't think that a few last words can make up for my pain!

Naruto clenched his fists tightly.

It was only when he saw the Sandaime holding the baby carefully that he loosened his fists again.

After all, there is still a Hokage grandfather who cares about him in this world.

However.

Such parents are really hard to hate.

"Death God, is this the test you gave me? "

Naruto knew that the people in the scene could not see or hear him, and he always remembered that this was a test from the god of death.

So... he was skeptical about everything that happened in this scene, just like watching a movie with a strong sense of substitution.

After all, a fox as big as a hill was sealed in a baby as big as a palm.

In this river?

Do you really think that Naruto is a fool!

"Of course it's not that simple."

A figure holding a sickle appeared in the air. He didn't speak, but just conveyed his thoughts to Naruto.

"If you want to know the cause of the previous life, the one who receives it in this life is the one who suffers in this life; if you want to know the result of the next life, the one who creates it in this life is the one who creates it in this life."

"Next, I will seal your memory and let you substitute the consciousness of these two people. What you have to do is to use your thoughts to change his mind and make them not accept death."

"Fuck!"

The god of death's obsession is not to accept death?

But, let two people who are willing to die... Is this difficult...

"You only have one chance. "

The Death God's sickle danced and disappeared again.

"Well, I can't do it."

How could Naruto possibly want people to give up 'parental love'?

Even if the story in this scene is false!
