Chapter 84 Everyone in Konoha, the future of Konoha (please vote for me)

"..."

Shennong thought a lot at this moment, and a chaotic thought surged in his mind. A bitter smile gradually appeared on his face: "It shouldn't be free, right?"

As he thought, Yunchuan shook his head and smiled: "In my life creed, fate and price are synonymous."

After that, he stretched out his left hand to Shennong, and a small crack gradually appeared on his thumb.

Looking at the drop of blood oozing out of the crack, Shennong subconsciously widened his eyes and held his breath.

It was like being possessed, and the breath made him salivate.

"Ahem! Take it, and I will help you."

Until Yunchuan coughed, Shennong suddenly came back to his senses,

"What is this? How can human blood be like this?" He looked at Yunchuan with fear in his eyes, and his tone was full of fear: "Are you really a monster in human skin?"

Shennong looked at the pair of dark blue eyes, feeling plain but hiding some deep meaning.

Like a monster that can see through human desires, that sight picks at his flesh and blood inch by inch, and puts the things hidden in his body one pound and one ounce at a time on the documents and chopping board for analysis and bargaining.

"Perhaps, you can regard me as a devil?"

Yunchuan shrugged indifferently, chuckled and stretched out his hand to Shennong and said: "I respect those who dare to pay the price to change their fate. They deserve more opportunities than those who only beg for charity from others."

"And the most precious thing for a person is his own soul."

The runes on the wall glowed with a bright light, illuminating the back of Yunchuan sitting on the Zero Tail, and casting his shadow on Shennong at his feet.

"You, you..."

Shennong looked at the palm that was gradually approaching him, and looked at the blue eyes through the fingers, feeling his scalp and teeth numb.

The cold and shadow that penetrated into the bones made people feel like falling into hell, as if they would be dragged into hell by ghosts and suffered torture.

He said so many beautiful words just now, but at this moment, he felt instinctive fear.

Once he accepted this drop of blood, he might get some benefits, but he would also lose something forever.

"Sell your soul to me and get the only and last chance to control your own destiny." Yunchuan's voice seemed to float from a distant place.

Hearing the devil's voice in his ear, Shennong's trembling body stagnated, and he watched the palm pressed down and covered his cheek like that.

"Ah!!"

At the moment when the "blood" merged into his body, Shennong let out a shrill wail.

The soul-tearing pain made his slightly blue blood vessels protrude, and his whole body seemed to be crawling with slender worms that kept wriggling, and countless bloody holes gradually cracked on the exposed skin.

"Hehe!"

Shennong exhaled hysterically with every breath, and the burning heat in his chest burned his throat. What flowed in his blood vessels was no longer blood, but boiling molten iron, and the deep throat of his roar seemed to be flowing with magma.

That drop of "blood" gradually became a soul shackle, and the end of the shackle was held in Yunchuan's hand, and his body was torn into pieces and turned into a more bizarre form.

Looking at Shennong who was transformed into a "ghost", sensing the blood curse, Yunchuan took a step back with an indifferent expression, and then looked down at the Zero Tail under his feet.

"Ah!"

Zero Tail, who was originally sneaking and looking around, let out a strange cry after meeting Yunchuan's pupils, and retracted several tentacles as if nothing had happened.

"You are really dishonest."

Yunchuan stood up with a smile on his face, looking down at Zero Tail who was curled up into a ball, and whispered: "Sure enough, compared to integrating into the body of your insect, the 'Zero Tail Ghost Pillariki' seems to be better."

Yunchuan planned to seal "Zero Tail" into the body of Shennong who was transformed into a "ghost", so that he could get a subordinate as "Zero Tail Ghost Pillariki" and let him replace "Zero Tail" as the energy source of the fortress and stay here honestly.

"I have no shortage of Uzumaki people who are good at sealing techniques. After this Konoha invasion is over, you and Shennong will stay here and work for me."

As he spoke, the blood mist around Yunchuan was pulled and condensed, and finally transformed into sharp spikes.

Zerotail, which was pointed at by the spikes, shrank and trembled restlessly in the giant cocoon.

"Be good, don't move. It's good for you. Eat more to grow up." Seeing its resistance at the moment, Yunchuan's tone became gentle, and he whispered to comfort it softly, "Don't waste my patience, bastard."

As the voice fell, in a shrill scream, the sharp tentacles behind him pierced out.

"Hiss!"

The tentacle "puffed" and pierced into Zerotail's body in the cocoon, making it hiss piercingly!

The blood mist contained an extremely deep malice, like a snake wrapped around Zerotail's body, cruising upwards, eroding and licking inch by inch.

Zerotail's incomplete body actually began to become stronger and longer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Blood color also gradually spread on the black and purple body, outlining strange blood patterns.

"It works."

Seeing the changes in Zero Tail, Yunchuan narrowed his eyes and thought: "After my strengthening, Zero Tail and Shennong who became a ghost, how far can they invade Konoha?"

Just as Yunchuan was thinking, his eyebrows suddenly raised.

Sinking his consciousness into his mind, he looked at the white template.

"...fear gas?"

Shen Nong's wailing and Zero Tail's neighing.

After a brief silence, there was a sudden burst of laughter.

"Heh." Yunchuan blinked and smiled, "It seems that Konoha's luck is not very good."

——————————

At the same time, in an old two-story house in Konoha.

Ding bell... bang! !

The bedside alarm clock rang at six o'clock on time.

But before it could jump twice, it was slapped down by a hand.

"ha!"

A boy sat up with his eyes open, yawned and stretched on the bed.

Immediately, he put on his clothes and folded the quilt. He got a cup of hot water in the living room. Holding the slightly warm water glass, he walked to the window and opened the curtains.

Wow! !

At six o'clock in the morning, the genius was bright.

The pots of small flowers by the window are all blooming, and the colors are particularly bright in the sunshine. Just looking at them can make you feel better.

Warm sheets were drying outside, and the gentle breeze was blowing the green leaves swaying.

The sunlight shining on the boy's smooth blond hair reminds people of precious golden satin.

"Konoha, good morning."

The boy enjoyed the breeze blowing on his face. His whole body felt comfortable and his smile was as bright as the sun.

It's still early now, and compared to the usual bustle and bustle, the streets downstairs are much cleaner, and it feels like the years are quiet.

The entire residential building is still quiet, and you can vaguely hear the chatter downstairs.

"Yo!"

As if they heard the sound of the window opening above, the two old women chatting downstairs raised their heads and greeted the boy with a kind smile: "Good morning, Xiao Minato. Have you eaten? Do you want to come down and have something together? ?”

"Ahaha, good morning, Granny Matsubara, Granny Nagase."

Faced with the enthusiasm of the two mothers-in-law, Minato shyly scratched his head and politely declined: "Thank you, mother-in-law, but I have already made breakfast."

"Oh, little Minato is really mature and sensible. He feels like a little adult."

"Yeah, yeah, he's the same nine years old as that brat in my family, but he's not as naughty or mischievous as him at all."

Minato closed the window and breathed a sigh of relief after getting rid of the overly enthusiastic and friendly two people.

He walked to the living room and took out the instant rice balls and miso soup from the refrigerator. He finished his breakfast in a few bites and then put away the dishes. After finally making sure that he didn't forget anything, he went out.

Minato took his time and exercised as usual, jogging along the street in the light morning mist.

But when he ran to an intersection, a man with long white hair walked towards him.

"Hello-senpai?" Minato subconsciously greeted him, "Good morning!"

"..." The man called Beiruhu stopped and glanced at Minato with his red eyes.

Then he just nodded his head indifferently, flicked his white hair tied into a ponytail for the last time, and passed him by without looking back.

"It seems that Beiruhu-senpai is not in a good mood." Minato scratched his head, but didn't pay too much attention and continued to run forward.

But soon, a strange green figure chased him from behind.

"Hoo! Hoo! Little Minato, you have such an enviable youth to wake up so early and run!"

Minato clearly recognized the owner of this familiar voice. Although he had a headache, he still turned around with a smile and said, "Good morning, Brother Dai, what goals do you plan to accomplish today?"

I saw that it was a man with his hair combed into a side parting.

Although Minato is called the eldest brother, he looks very mature. With thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face and a big nose, he looks like an uncle.

Especially when he is wearing a green tights and "running" while standing upside down with both hands, he looks even more funny and neurotic.

"Today's goal is to circle Konoha twenty times while standing upside down!"

Standing upside down, Matt Dai smiled brightly, flashed his bright white teeth and said loudly: "If you can't do it, do three thousand frog jumps and pull-ups."

His loud voice echoed around him, and curses came from the houses on both sides of the street, making him subconsciously close his mouth.

It can be seen that he is usually disliked by many people, he does not care about other people's opinions at all, and his personality is more or less humble.

"Although this is not the first time I heard Brother Dai's goal, is there really no problem with this exaggerated training volume?"

Minato didn't look at Matt Dai with a strange look, but looked worriedly at him who was gradually pulling away from him in front of him, and reminded him: "Brother Dai, don't force yourself!"

As far as Minato knew, Brother Dai knew neither ninjutsu nor genjutsu. He was just a genin who could not be promoted all year round and could only do some D-level tasks of catching cats and dogs.

Such tasks are daily chores, usually issued by ordinary people or nobles, and the reward is between 500 taels and 10,000 taels.

For a physical practitioner like Matt Dai, this money cannot even cover his food expenses, and he is even so poor that he has to receive relief funds from the village.

Even so, he can only barely guarantee his food and clothing, and there is nothing more he can do.

But Minato can understand his approach, after all, all he has left is Taijutsu.

Minato also admired Brother Dai's belief very much, but unfortunately Brother Dai never asked him to borrow money, even if he offered to borrow money, he would not ask for it.

To use Brother Dai's original words, that is...

"It doesn't matter!"

Matt Dai stood on one hand and jumped up and down, turned to give Minato a thumbs up, and said loudly in a passionate and exciting tone: "This is the passionate youth! This is what you have to do, work hard and sweat!"

Suddenly there were strange looks from around him, making Minato take a breath of air and curl up the toes hidden in his shoes.

For him who is still young now, this kind of words is still a bit embarrassing.

At this moment, Matt Dai suddenly shouted "Ouch" and turned to look at Minato while running upside down, causing him to fall headlong into the grass on the side of the road.

His head sank into the grass, leaving only his legs exposed, still twitching slightly, looking very funny.

"Brother Dai!"

Minato came to his senses and ran over quickly.

But before he could reach out to help, Mattei put his hands on the ground and jumped out with his legs.

"Bah! Bah! Minato, it's okay. I just have to start counting circles again..."

He spit out all the leaves in his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, his stomach growled.

"Brother Dai, you..."

Minato, who originally stretched out his hand to help him, hesitated, then put his hand into his arms to take out his wallet, and advised: "You must eat enough, at worst, you can pay me back later...Brother Dai?"

Minato's wrist was suddenly held down, and he looked up at Metadai in shock.

The man shook his head slightly, then let go of Minato's wrist holding the wallet, grinned with bright teeth and said, "You are still a child, and I am an adult. How can an adult ask for a child's money?"

"Showing such an ugly look in front of you is enough to make me embarrassed. If I really accept your money, my youth will really be extinguished."

Although he was an incompetent man in the eyes of other ninjas and villagers, he was not so useless that he wanted to claim the inheritance left to his son by his heroic parents before their death.

"Brother Dai..."

Hearing this, Minato's light blue pupils trembled, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a brief silence, when he was about to persuade Matt Dai again, the figure in front of him had already run away.

"Minato! Come on! Work hard! Study hard! Youth is about never giving up!"

Matt Dai's passionate shouts came from a distance, and he looked like a green frog, just like "croaking, croaking" and running away.

"..."

It wasn't until the green figure disappeared from sight that Minato withdrew his gaze and looked down at his wrist, his twinkling eyes gradually gaining a touch of color.

Konoha is good, really good.

However, it's not good enough and could be better.

"If I could become Hokage, I would never let someone like Brother Dai..." Minato couldn't help but have thoughts that had appeared several times before.

Minato stood there in trance for a long time, until a villager walked by, and Minato suddenly came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Oops! You're going to be late for school!"

——————————

At the same time, the Qianju ancestral house has a long historical style but is slightly deserted.

The girl was wrapped in a white quilt and snored on the tatami, sleeping soundly.

The dim light from the window filtered into the room. Her dishonest sleeping position exposed her arms, calves and half of her shoulders, and her red hair was very messy.

at this time.

Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell! !

The alarm clock that fell to the ground at some unknown time made a deafening sound like revenge.

"ah!"

The girl exclaimed in fright, sat up straight and looked forward in confusion.

After he recovered, he picked up the alarm clock that was bouncing on the ground, slapped it with a slap in the face and turned it off.

But when she saw the time on the alarm clock clearly, her black-green pupils instantly widened, and she stared blankly at the dim light coming through the window.

"Ahhhh! Oh no, no!"

The girl jumped out of bed, hurriedly put on her clothes, and hurried downstairs.

In the living room, a young woman with long red hair, a pair of buns, a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, and a white kimono was sitting at the dining table.

"Kushina, are you awake?"

Looking at Kushina who jumped down from the building, the woman teased with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"

But before she could finish her words, Uzumaki Kushina grabbed the hot rice ball from the woman's hand and held it in her mouth without even stopping.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! (Thanks, Grandma Mito)!"

Kushina replied vaguely, put on her shoes at the entrance and ran away without looking back.

Looking at the girl's back disappearing in front of him, Uzumaki Mito's young and girlish face revealed a somewhat unconventional and kind smile.

"That's great. It seems Kushina is doing well in school."

She sighed with relief, then lowered her head and said to herself: "In this way, I should not have failed Tetsuya's trust."

As she spoke, she looked up in the direction of the Whirlpool Country, but the smile on her face gradually faded.

I don't know why.

She always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

What made her even more uneasy was that her sixth sense was always very accurate.

After a moment of silence, Mito sighed, looked down at her abdomen, and murmured: "I can still hold on for a while now, I just hope that day will come later."

If possible, she didn't want Kushina to become the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki too early, carrying heavy responsibilities and missions, even if it was the last bit of happy childhood.
