Me and countless me.

Chapter 3 Identity of the Heroic Spirit

The high-speed water flow cleared out most of Li Ke's chakra in an instant, but the effect it brought was quite significant.

However, before Li Ke could react, a scroll suddenly appeared in the hand of the possessed ninja, and he once again made three seals and opened the scroll in front of him.

Spiritism?
When was it released?

Li Ke opened his eyes wide in surprise, because he had no idea when the other party did it!
The moment the scroll was opened, a picture composed of countless numbers and characters appeared in front of Li Ke, but what was amazing was that the characters on the scroll began to scroll and disappear continuously the moment it was opened. Li Ke then realized that at the moment when he had just made a seal and released the Water Break Wave, the ninja who possessed him also released another ninjutsu.

The secret code he saw before his eyes was also quite advanced. Although he was not very proficient in sealing techniques, he knew that if he wanted to make the text on the scroll appear like this, he could already work in the sealing class of Konoha Village.

If we add the secret code that even his third-generation son's teammates cannot understand, then the confidentiality level of this scroll is naturally very high.

Then he heard the voice of the person inside his body, and found that without realizing it, his hands had formed three more seals.

"Hmm... you are right. Things have indeed developed to this point. And it is not some kind of illusion that affects me... What's your name, kid?"

Li Ke already had a guess in his mind about the identity of the ninja who possessed him. After all, he had read the introduction of Water Cutoff. It was not generally said that Water Cutoff required twenty-seven seals, but the person who controlled his body was able to use it among several seals, and based on his insufficient chakra, he made Water Cutoff, which was originally a long-term cutting, perform like a machine gun. This proved that this ninja's proficiency in Water Cutoff had reached the level where he could do whatever he wanted with the ninjutsu.

It is most likely the great inventor in the ninja world, Tobirama Senju.

"My name is Murata Kiyotan, may I ask who you are, senior?"

Li Ke asked tentatively.

"You don't need to know my name, you just need to know that I am a ninja from Konoha. I can only use two more ninjutsu with the chakra in your body... Do you still have any soldiers? I will use a ninjutsu that consumes a lot of chakra, and I need you to recover a certain amount of chakra before I can use it."

The body spoke at the speed of sound, and Li Ke finally sensed the rapidly approaching chakra at this time.

This chakra was very unfamiliar, and Li Ke didn't recognize it at all, so he quickly answered all the other party's questions.

Li Ke shook his head decisively.

"No! When I was left behind, I gave all the extra supplies and money to my teammates."

When he ran out, he quietly put all the money and precious things he had on him into Hong's arms. Some of it was left for Hong, and the other part was left for his family.

After all, there were some spoils of war on the battlefield. Although Asuma, the young master, didn't care, and the Hong family was not short of money, he was different. His family needed him to make money.

Li Ke's answer caused the other party to be silent for a moment, and then he spoke.

"Are you determined to stop the enemy with the belief that you will die? Well, it looks like I have to be a little more serious."

The moment the words fell, Li Ke found that his body moved, and the only two remaining Chunins and the one-armed Jonin also rushed over quickly.

They had just seen the corpse and did not understand what had happened. So when they saw Li Ke, whose clothes were in tatters, rushing towards them, they did not investigate, but rushed over immediately and wanted to catch Li Ke.

however--

At the moment of the charge, the ninja had already formed a seal, and in an instant three shadow clones appeared beside Li Ke. Under the cover of the smoke of the shadow clones, in an instant, the throats of two Chunins were cut by three brilliant sword lights.

Li Ke also discovered that before he could react, this ninja who was suspected to be Tobirama Senju took out several detonating tags and kunai from the pockets of these Iwagakure ninjas, and when he threw them at the last Iwagakure jonin, the detonating tags that were pierced by the kunai had already been ignited!
The one-armed jonin jumped up hurriedly, but the next moment, Li Ke's body quickly formed seals, and the shadow clone beside him suddenly shattered at this moment, and the separated chakra instantly returned to his body and just combined with the seal on his hand.

Water Style: Water Bullet Technique!

A huge stream of water suddenly hit the last jonin, knocking him away instantly. However, the next moment, Li Ke found that his body suddenly jumped up, and then he stabbed the long knife in his hand towards the ground!

At the same time, a scarred hand holding a kunai stabbed towards where he was originally standing!

In an instant, Li Ke felt that the long knife in his hand pierced through something hard, and when his body fell, the hand on the ground just twitched, and the rock hermit who had lurked in the ground no longer made any movement.

"Hmph... Iwagakure is still like this. The level of the jonin is always very low."

Pulling back the long sword that was still covered with white substance, the ninja who was controlling Li Ke's body shook off the blood and tissue fluid on the sword, and then looked in the distance.

Li Ke fell silent.

The gap is too big. If it were me, it would not be impossible for me to fight against the Jonin of Iwagakure, but it is absolutely impossible for me to do it so cleanly and efficiently.

Moreover, the jonin in front of them was no ordinary guy. Although he was not described in the comics, he was also a jonin with a certain well-known title, otherwise he would not have forced their teacher into a desperate situation.

However, in front of this ninja who was suspected to be Tobirama Senju, they were full of flaws, and they themselves could not even clearly understand how the other party's chakra was working and when he released the ninjutsu.

To put it simply, if the ninja who possessed me wanted to kill me, I would be no different from those Chunins and the last one-armed Jonin.

However, just when he thought that the matter was over, he heard the ninja in him speak.

"I'm sorry, Qingtan boy, I have something to verify."

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he found that there was another shadow clone beside him without him knowing when. The next moment, a feeling of dizziness surged into his heart.

He fell down suddenly, but he was not unconscious, but his whole body was unable to move.

Li Ke knew that the other party wanted to find out what was going on, so he did not send him back. After all, his heart still needed the other party's body to work as a substitute for the time being. If he was sent back rashly and could not summon the "Heroic Spirit" next time, then he would be finished.

"Don't worry. If you have no problem, I will tell you my name and help you survive. Also, I think you should have a way to counter me, right?"

The voice was still cold, but the tone was very affirmative.

Li Ke had no intention of hiding it, and he still had to be cautious. Moreover, strangely, he could feel that it was not just the soul that he could send back, even the chakra left in his body could be sent back in an instant.

So he sent back the chakra that the other party had applied to his left hand and changed himself into a comfortable position.

"Yes, I can send you back to the Pure Land at any time. Even now, I can remove your control over me and my shadow clones."

However, the voice inside him didn't care at all and spoke in a stern voice.

"Hmph, too reckless! Even if you are like this, there are too many ways to control you. If they are evil Uchiha ninjas, they only need some mirrors to reflect their eyes. That would be enough to control your body, and thus control your mind, and completely return to this world!" After hearing these words, Li Ke realized that when he fell, his blade had always been facing his eyes. This ninja who possessed his body obviously did not trust him from beginning to end!
But the name of this evil Uchiha ninja...

You really are Senju Tobirama!
"In other words, Senior, can you also do something similar?"

Picking up his long sword, with the help of the reflected light, Li Ke saw his current right eye and couldn't help but be shocked.

The white of his right eye had completely disappeared, turning pitch black, while his eyeball had turned red.

Moreover, I don’t know when my hair turned completely silver-white.

"Senior, are you Tobirama Senju?"

Li Ke asked tentatively.

"I am not."

The ninja in his body quickly denied it, and his tone was still very calm.

Li Ke was silent for a moment, then spoke with a smile.

"I see... Since you are so powerful, you must be a ninja from the Uchiha clan, right?"

This time it was the ninja in his body who fell silent, but the silence did not last long, because the shadow clone on Li Ke's side had already unlocked the shadow clone. The next moment, a large number of ciphertext memories entered Li Ke's mind. After reading these ciphertexts, this ninja who claimed not to be Tobirama Senju spoke in a helpless tone.

"…I am indeed the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. But, boy, how did you know that I am Senju Tobirama?"

Senju Tobirama was a little confused. Although he had exposed his Water Severance Technique, he had already written the usage and development process of this ninjutsu into the Book of Seales. He definitely shouldn't be the only one who could use this ninjutsu.

Moreover, Li Ke absolutely could not understand the secret code, because it was a secret code used exclusively by the Hokage, and it was impossible for someone who did not hold a position like a jonin squad leader to understand it.

"This... you only need to make a few hand seals to use the Water Break Wave, and you hate the Uchiha clan very much. Your strength and experience are incredible. I think only you, the Second Hokage, can do that."

After getting a definite answer, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is still not 100% certain, based on the current information, this is the most appropriate answer.

However, Senju Tobirama was more concerned about something else.

"Why do you think I hate Uchiha?"

This question made Li Ke a little stunned. He suddenly realized that a ninja like himself should not be able to realize that the Second Hokage hated the Uchiha clan!

Because in fact, in Konoha Village, the second generation was often criticized for treating the Uchiha clan well!
The work of the Konoha Guard is a department that makes countless ninja clans, big and small, jealous. The authority is very large. From running shops to the authority to enter and exit the village, as well as the maintenance of the barrier and the planning and development of the commercial area, the Uchiha clan's Konoha Guard is involved.

The ninjas of the Uchiha clan can easily rely on this department to earn a lot of gray income.

Moreover, this department is funded by Konoha's finances. Every Uchiha ninja can easily enter this department. In non-war times, they can easily get very high rewards without leaving the village to fight.

Therefore, many Uchiha clan members were grateful to the Second Hokage. Many ordinary ninjas and ninjas from small clans in the village also felt that the Second Hokage was too kind to the Uchiha clan.

"This one……"

Li Ke didn't know what to say for a moment, but Senju Tobirama directly grasped Li Ke's pain point.

"I am just a dead man, you can say whatever you want. Moreover, if I don't agree, you can't use my power? If so, then it means that if I don't want you to, you can't continue to be a ninja without giving up on me?"

Taking a deep breath, Li Ke nodded.

But looking at the sky, feeling that his body was still too weak even with the help of Senju Tobirama's organs, Li Ke sighed.

"But actually, I don't want to be a ninja anymore. I might apply for retirement after I go back this time... so it doesn't matter even if I tell you."

Li Ke stretched out his left hand and reached towards the sky.

He is now a little confused about what to do in the future. Although he can easily recover his health and no longer be disabled by relying on his selves in other worlds, does he really want to be a ninja?

If I could take advantage of this opportunity to retire, relying on my physical strength and connections, even if I go farming or do business, I would be able to earn more money than I could as a ninja.

This is the value of cutting off the retreat for the sake of the Hokage's son.

But war is really not something that people like.

However, it does not prevent him from expressing his thoughts to Senju Tobirama.

Because he really doesn't want to be a ninja anymore, he will continue to train and become stronger, but in order to avoid this situation again, he'd better leave his position as a Konoha ninja, or find a leisurely job.

People like me are the least threatening.

"Because as Konoha develops, the Uchiha clan that occupies the position of Konoha Guard will only get more and more resources, and the resources that other small and medium-sized ninja clans and civilian ninjas in Konoha Village can obtain in Konoha Village will also be hindered by the inspection of the guard force. At that time, the Uchiha clan will be attacked by countless invisible hands. No matter how powerful they are, as long as they still occupy the position of Konoha Guard and the best central position in Konoha Village, they will be hostile to all ninja clans."

Li Ke actually has his own opinion on the demise of the Uchiha clan.

It is incorrect to simply say that Sarutobi and Danzo are to blame. To be precise, the demise of the Uchiha was actually the joint choice of other forces in Konoha Village. Danzo was just the person who did something that no one wanted to do.

Moreover, no one expected that Danzo would be so ruthless and wipe out the entire Uchiha clan in one fell swoop.

"As long as the Hokage can provide some checks and balances, the Uchiha clan will be isolated and helpless, and they will have no choice but to turn to the Hokage and hold on to the Konoha Guard that made them what they are now. As a result, they will be besieged by more small and medium-sized ninja clans, becoming an isolated island in a more severe situation and being weakened unknowingly. Moreover, most of the Uchiha clan's strength and pride comes from the Sharingan. Reducing the number of their missions and the deaths of their companions will naturally reduce the number of Sharingans, and thus it will be easy to truly bring the Uchiha clan under Konoha's control."

Li Ke finished speaking, and Senju Tobirama was silent for a while before speaking again.

"Your thinking is very similar to mine."
