Me and countless me.

Chapter 1 The dying time traveler

Listening to the sound of rain outside the hidden spot, the silent boy, or child, sighed softly.

He looked at the young man who insisted on covering his retreat, and touched his right eye which had been dug out after being stabbed by an enemy jonin, feeling somewhat helpless.

Originally, he was assigned to the same class with Asuma Sarutobi, and he felt that he would definitely be able to survive the Ninja World War.

However, when he found out that Yuhi Kurenai was not in the class and was fighting with one of their classmates, he realized that he was too naive.

Death, companions died, teachers died. In just one year, he and Asuma had changed three teammates and two jonin teachers. When Kurenai Yuhi came to this team, he even thought that the war was about to end.

But unfortunately it didn't.

The Iwagakure ninjas suddenly reached Mount Kikyo and had actually arrived at the doorstep of Konoha. Their team's original mission was forced to be interrupted and they were found by the enemy's hunting force.

Their teacher sacrificed himself to secure a safe place for them. Now they only need one person to step forward and delay for half a minute, so that the rest of the people can leave through the secret passage opposite.

Although this hidden location has a hidden barrier left by the Jonin teacher using the Shadow Clone Technique, you will not be discovered if you stay here.

But the opponent's ninja is not a fool, and he is almost searching here.

So there has to be a sacrifice.

If you choose someone...

Hong had already lost most of her chakra in order to save herself, so she would be useless even as bait.

Asuma's arm was almost broken and had no value as bait.

Although Li Ke was sure that the boy in front of him was indeed willing to sacrifice himself to save himself and Hong, after all, they had saved each other countless times, but there was no doubt that -

impossible.

"Sometimes one's life is beyond one's control, Asuma. Just like your life is more important to Konoha than mine... Besides, with your injured arm, how can you delay time?"

Li Ke, or should be called Murata Kiyotan, stood up from the ground, picked up his ninja sword, and made his own decision.

There was no choice from the beginning. Asuma was the son of the Hokage. If he died and he returned alive, he would definitely be despised. Sarutobi Hiruzen might not do anything to him, but when Orochimaru lacked test subjects and when Danzo needed a cannon fodder, who would they choose?
Even though they were able to assassinate the Hokage and even watched Sarutobi Hiruzen die, the fact that they could take action against Sarutobi doesn't mean others can do the same.

And in itself, who would not care if members of a military group watched their leader's son die? Except for a truly great man, who would not care?

So Li Ke picked up the ninja sword left by his teacher, stood up, and took a last look at Hong who fainted while trying to save him. The last bit of reluctance to leave life in his heart disappeared.

In this case, by leaving behind a hero's name, and relying on this relationship, his brother will no longer be sent to a dangerous battlefield.

"Don't hesitate! Asuma, don't let the efforts of my teacher and I go to waste!"

Asuma, who was ready to die, had no time to stop Li Ke. The moment Li Ke spoke, he used his ninjutsu and hit Asuma in the face with his elbow, causing him to fall to the ground.

Then, he rushed out without hesitation.

The moment he rushed out of the barrier set up by the teacher, Li Ke heard a teasing voice.

"You actually ran out, little mouse, where are your companions?!"

The moment Li Ke rushed out, a black figure suddenly rushed out and kicked him hard from the right side.

Li Ke heard the sound of the wind, but it was too late to stop it. Due to the loss of his right eye and the lack of vision, he was kicked out unexpectedly and crashed directly into the bushes.

The thin body flew backwards instantly, but in the air, Li Ke could still see the situation of the pursuers clearly.

There were three Chunins, one Jonin who was injured in the abdomen and had his right hand cut off, and another Jonin who was only slightly injured. This was the last thing his teacher did.

However, Li Ke, who was kicked away, started thinking quickly.

"Has this location been exposed long ago? They didn't rush to act in order to capture us alive... And, did they not know that Asuma and the others were hiding with me before, or did they deliberately lure Asuma and Hong? We can only take a gamble..."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air, Li Ke immediately rolled up the moment he landed on the ground and dodged the long sword that was stabbing straight at him. His long-term physical training allowed him to quickly kick the Chunin in front of him the moment he landed. The moment he kicked him away, he took out his last smoke bomb from his arms, smashed it hard on the ground, and launched an earth escape at the same time.

Earth escape technique: beheading in the heart!
At the moment of the attack, Li Ke grabbed the feet of the Chunin who was stabbing at him with a long sword and pulled him into the ground, but he had no time to make the second step of the attack because the opponent's Jonin had already made a move.

A long sword stabbed accurately at the position where he was in the earth escape. Li Ke couldn't see it at all from this position, but his keen chakra perception allowed him to react the moment the opponent attacked. He quickly jumped out of the ground, avoiding what the opponent's Jonin thought was a fatal blow. At the same time, he rushed out of the smoke and dodged the kunai stabbed by the remaining Chunin, and quickly formed seals with his hands.

He didn't have much chakra left, and these were the last two ninjutsu he could release.

and so--

Water Style: Water Bullet Technique!
Chakra turned into water and sprayed out of his mouth towards the oncoming jonin. Faced with the rushing water, because they did not see the hand seal, both the jonin and the chasing chuunin quickly avoided the violently rushing water. However, one chuunin was accidentally hit by the water and was knocked away.

However, the power of this technique is at most used to put out fires, so Li Ke did not expect this technique to be able to kill anyone. He released this technique only to prepare for the next step!

Water escape: Sprint!

Four seals were quickly formed, and the water sprayed by Li Ke quickly gathered around him, continued to gather around him, and then quickly rushed to his side, forming three streams of water rushing in different directions.

This was a failed jutsu that he developed. Its original purpose was to gather enough water under the legs and move quickly above the water. For him, a water-style ninja, it was undoubtedly a very practical jutsu, but unfortunately, he did not have enough time to develop it, so its duration and speed were not ideal.

Moreover, three seconds before the technique is used, the high-speed water flow generated by the sprint will injure the user, and after three seconds the speed will only last for half a minute, making it the first rather unsuccessful technique.

but--

"Split up and run! Asuma! Red!"

Li Ke took the two huge Fuma Shuriken behind him, and under the astonished gaze of the chasing jonin, he roared and threw the two shurikens in his hands into the water in different directions.

Then, the two Fuma Shuriken quickly transformed in the air into the appearance of Asuma and Hong, and quickly stepped on the rushing water that could no longer harm the user. "Can you escape, kid?"

The earth ninja's jonin roared, quickly threw his shuriken at the two fleeing figures, and made a few hand gestures.

Li Ke quickly changed direction, controlling the water under his feet and throwing out his own shuriken, knocking down the shurikens flying towards Asuma and Hong, but because of this, he had to face the opponent's senior ninja face to face.

But the enemy changed very quickly. The one-armed jonin rushed towards Asuma with an injured chunin, while the other two chunins rushed towards Yuhi Kurenai.

Although the earth ninja's Chunin and Jonin could not be compared with the Konoha's ninja, but looking at the Jonin in front of him, Li Ke, whose chakra had been exhausted, knew that this was the time of his death.

If they had not been attacked suddenly, these earth ninjas alone would have been unable to deal with them.

He is a water-style ninja who is proficient in physical techniques. Although his chakra is not as amazing as Naruto's, it is still much.

Asuma is proficient in ninjutsu, and Hong is good at using illusions. Judging from the configuration alone, this team is already a rare elite team.

At least if he was in good condition, he could deal with the other three Chunins by himself.

But unfortunately, there are no ifs on the battlefield.

"Huh...huh..."

Feeling his shadow clone running farther and farther away, a smile appeared on the panting Li Ke's face, because even if these people returned now, it would be enough for Asuma to take Hong away from the secret passage.

Even if there were people he didn't know about, without the jonin, one or two chuunin would definitely not be a match for Asuma.

My mission is completed.

Finally, Li Ke, who had played a trick in his mind that no one in this world would know, sighed in his heart as he looked at the jonin who was looking at him warily.

But, I really can't accept it...

Seeing the smile on his face, the Iwagakure jonin frowned. He felt like he was being fooled, but he didn't know what went wrong. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, looking at the boy who had deceived his companions with a transformation technique and then sacrificed himself.

Li Ke was also happy to delay time. He adjusted his posture while panting, but he found that his ribs were in pain and his upper body could not move well. He really didn't know how he had run just now.

But now, let's delay it for a while.

"I was just wondering how long you can stay here. Although you have broken through the front line, you dare not advance too far rashly, right?"

Li Ke, panting, looked at the other party warily. His vision was a little blurred at this time, but he still tried to appear firm.

However, the Iwagakure's jonin did not intend to talk to Li Ke any more. Li Ke's injuries had begun to flare up, and his movements were obviously not as agile as before, so he also drew out his long sword and looked at Li Ke with an inexplicable look.

He had seen Li Ke's strength. Although he could not be compared with him, he was already very powerful. When he was the other person's age, he would probably be killed in an instant. Such a genius naturally had to be killed sooner!

"You are such a powerful brat, you were able to trick us. But that's all you can do... Konoha is such a terrifying village. Even a brat like you can have such talent."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly rushed towards Li Ke and chopped down with the long sword in his hand. Li Ke tried his best to resist, but he could not match the opponent in terms of chakra or physical strength, so he could not block two moves, and his arm holding the sword was chopped off.

There was no time to scream in pain or hesitate. Looking at the opponent's long knife stabbing at him, Li Ke's eyes revealed a crazy look. He did not dodge the opponent's long knife that was stabbing towards his heart. Instead, he took advantage of the opponent's sprint movement and hugged the opponent's body, allowing the long knife to pierce his heart.

"Varied--"

The Rock Ninja's jonin immediately felt something was wrong, and Li Ke smiled again at this moment.

Because there was a burning detonating talisman on his left hand!
The terrified Iwagakure kicked Li Ke, whose heart was pierced, away, and tried to take off the vest with the detonating tag on it in fear, but it was too late!
Because Li Ke had already lit the detonating talisman when he was talking to the other party. He didn't think he could kill the other party from the beginning, so he was naturally prepared for a one-for-one exchange!

The explosion instantly engulfed the jonin, and Li Ke closed his eyes. The blood gushing from his chest caused his blood pressure to drop rapidly, and his brain felt dizzy.

However, just when he thought he was going to the Pure Land, his consciousness passed through a fantastic scene, and the next moment, he saw three people standing in the darkness.

Subconsciously thinking that this was his deceased relative in this world, he almost shouted "Dad", but fortunately before that he saw clearly the figures of three people standing in the darkness, and then he stopped shouting.

Because, although the three people standing in the darkness were dressed differently, they all had similar, even identical, faces.

"........."

For a moment, the young man named Murata Kiyotan in this life really didn't know what to say.

The memories of his past life were attacking him crazily at this moment, and he really didn't know what to complain about.

The three people standing in the darkness also saw him and walked over with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, newbie here, it looks like you've figured it out."

Li Ke nodded, looking at the other three people who were like him, and he already understood most of it.

It’s nothing more than that his golden finger, which was twelve years late, is now online!
He knew this routine from reading novels, and got to know an unscrupulous author because of it. It's a pity that the crappy author stopped writing fan fiction and changed his career, which made him very unhappy.

But now, he just wants to say that he doesn't care what the reason is, what the thing is, or what the damn author is, because he is about to die!
"So, does anyone have the ability to regenerate their body? If not, I'm going to die first."

He stretched out his only remaining left hand and pointed at himself.

In his current state, he is only one step away from death. If the golden finger can't save him, it will be useless even if he is infected with the Duke virus!
however--

All three people shook their heads.

"This really doesn't exist."
