Me and countless me.

Chapter 4 Escape
Senju Tobirama still agreed with Li Ke's opinion, but he didn't understand why Li Ke, such an obvious civilian ninja, would know these things.

He created the Ninja School himself and knew very well that the Ninja School would never teach these things.

And those civilian ninjas have absolutely no access to these ideas, so there is only one possibility.

"Boy, is your dream to become a Hokage? You already have the mindset of a Hokage."

As he said this, he lifted the spell on Li Ke's body, allowing Li Ke to move again.

But Senju Tobirama's words instantly made Li Ke shudder. After all, these were not good words. What was the thinking of Hokage? This was an adjective used to describe Uchiha Itachi. How could he, Li Ke, be compared with such a fool?

"No, I just like to think about the changes in this world."

The chakra consumption was too great. Although Senju Tobirama removed the shadow clone, Li Ke still had no ability to move at all.

But fortunately, the enemies around have been almost eliminated, and the Konoha ninjas should have almost reacted, so there is no need to worry about encountering the Iwagakure again.

If you are unlucky enough to encounter...

That can only be the last chance.

There was nothing that could be done about it. His chakra was almost completely consumed. If he had not shared it before and thus improved his strength, he would not even have the ability to support Senju Tobirama in battle.

“People who like to think usually have great ambitions.”

Seeing that Li Ke didn't intend to say more, Senju Tobirama didn't intend to ask more questions. As long as it didn't involve issues related to the village, he could still speak calmly.

"But kid, I can't possess you forever. You should understand this, right? Although I don't know why you have such secret skills or bloodstains, this is undoubtedly a blasphemy to the peace of the dead."

Senju Tobirama's voice became a little cold again.

"After returning to Konoha Village, I can help you heal your heart. If I find a suitable arm, I can also help you reattach it. But even if your heart is repaired, you can no longer be a ninja. I hope you are mentally prepared for this."

"I know."

Li Ke nodded. He didn't really want to be a ninja anymore. He summoned Senju Tobirama just to survive. It was a pleasant surprise that Senju Tobirama was willing to help him repair his heart.

He originally thought that he would have to wait for French Li Ke's potions and spells to repair his body.

After all, the wizards in the Harry Potter world are really good at treating surgical injuries.

At worst, he could wait for Li Ke, who was capable of solving this problem, to appear. However, Li Ke also knew that he still had to give Senju Tobirama some benefits.

"So, what can I do for you, Nidaime-sama?"

But Senju Tobirama just snorted coldly.

"The dead don't need you to do anything, and you shouldn't interfere with the choices of the living... I just need to take a good look at Konoha Village, and you don't need to do anything else. As for now, rest well, your body is no longer able to fight."

He knew the personalities of his students very well. Since he appeared in such a state similar to that of reincarnation, there was no way they would listen to him. Besides, he was already dead, and the dead should not interfere with the choices of the living.

This is a good thing for everyone.

"Is that so... Then I feel relieved..."

Li Ke closed his eyes. His chakra was almost exhausted and he had no strength to move forward. After the adrenaline in his body faded, he finally felt tired and weak.

And when he was almost falling asleep, Senju Tobirama suddenly spoke.

"Someone is coming. Look at the direction. They are coming from Konoha. You'd better take back my arm and eyes for the time being to avoid any trouble."

His words instantly made Li Ke open his eyes, and he nodded with some regret. Li Ke activated his ability and cooperated with Senju Tobirama to remove the "Heroic Spirit Possession" on his right hand and right eye.

The arms and eyes that seemed to be reborn from the impure world turned into ashes in an instant, making Li Ke experience the feeling of incompleteness again.

He knew this was what needed to be done to confuse the enemy and avoid trouble, so he did not object.

However, the feeling of severe lack of vision still made him feel uncomfortable, and Senju Tobirama spoke at this moment.

"Hold your breath. I will help you fake the sound of your heart beating."

Li Ke's heart instantly began to beat at a weak speed, and a chakra also surrounded Li Ke's heart, making the sound of Li Ke's heartbeat become barely detectable.

Holding his breath and squinting his eyes, Li Ke observed the appearance of the approaching ninja, and when he saw the familiar forehead protector and vest, Li Ke finally relaxed.

He was already exhausted, and before he could even say anything, he fainted.

The last words he heard before he fainted were——

"Medical team! Quick!"

-------------

When Li Ke woke up again, what he saw was the ceiling of the hospital and a pungent, strange smell of disinfectant mixed with blood, flesh, various secretions and excrement.

And this is what a hospital smells like.

"I survived..."

Li Ke couldn't help but let out a sigh. He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hands to support his body and sit up, but found that he couldn't do such a thing at all.

It was not because he was tied up tightly, but because his right arm was missing.

After a moment's silence, Li Ke's mood suddenly became subtle, especially the unfamiliar and incomplete vision, which made Li Ke feel even worse.

Moreover, there was no one else in the ward except a ninja lying on the bed next to him. Only the flower basket and fruits on the bedside proved that someone still cared about him.

only……

His brother is still on the battlefield, right?
Li Ke couldn't help but sigh, and after this sigh, the voice of Senju Tobirama appeared.

"Don't worry. Your arm was found by the Konoha Jonin who rescued you. It's still in good condition. It's just that your body is too weak and there are ninjas with more serious problems than you, so it's only temporarily reattached. Also, your heart problem has been solved by Konoha's medical ninjas. You no longer need my help. In addition, although your brother has gone to the front line, he is only responsible for the transportation of supplies for the Sand Ninjas."

Senju Tobirama paused for a moment before speaking.

"After all, it's impossible for Monkey to show leniency to your family members and not let them go to the battlefield just because you cover for his son. But there will be no problem with preferential treatment. Now that the Kannabi Bridge has been destroyed and the Iwagakure offensive has been repelled, your brother will be very safe."

Li Ke nodded. He really didn't expect that a wound like this could be treated by Konoha's medical ninja. This should be related to Senju Tobirama. Senju Tobirama definitely contributed to it. Otherwise, he would have been abandoned just like the situation he described.

"I understand. Thank you, Nidaime-sama."

If he died, his brother would not have to go to the battlefield, but if he did not die, then even for the sake of fairness, his brother would have to go to the battlefield anyway.

Being transferred to a safe place is already a sign of care.

However, he was more curious about how long he had been unconscious and why when he woke up, the attack from the Rock Ninja had been repelled.

Moreover, this also means that Uchiha Obito was abducted by Uchiha Madara.

"No need to thank me, you are a ninja of Konoha, so I will naturally protect you. But after you recover, take me to visit the current Konoha Village, and the deal between us can be concluded."

"But thank you anyway. I wouldn't be alive without you."

"All you have to do is fulfill your promise. By the way, Qingtan? Is your father called Lujian?"

Senju Tobirama's tone was still as calm as before, reminding Li Ke that he should not disturb the dead. However, his question made Li Ke a little confused.

Although this naming style is very similar to that of Hashirama Senju and others, this is because their family was selling charcoal before they became ninjas. His grandfather in this life was called Murata Hinaka, so his father in this life had this name, and he has nothing to do with the Senju clan.

However, the second generation must have a deeper meaning behind asking this, so I don't need to care about it.

Just treat it as his household registration check.

So, Li Ke answered Senju Tobirama while looking at the calendar on the wall.

"Yes, Nidaime-sama."

Looking at the calendar, Li Ke found that three days had passed since he and Asma returned, and he had been in a coma for three whole days.

But, do I feel so good?

Li Ke carefully sensed his own chakra and found that his vitality was even stronger than before he became disabled. Therefore, his chakra volume was estimated to be more than ten times that of before. Even when his spirit recovered and his mental energy became stable, this number would increase.

If he had shared it with those people in advance, instead of sharing it when he was on the verge of death, he might have been able to cooperate with Asuma and kill all the ninjas who were chasing him!
“Is the increase so huge?”

Li Ke felt regretful, but he didn't care much. He didn't plan to be a ninja anymore. After his arm was reattached, he would find a way to transplant an eye. Then he would continue to improve his fighting ability to help his brother and himself in other worlds.

After all, he didn't really lack ninjutsu, and what he needed was some time to calm down, not to go out on missions every day.

As for what happens next...

We'll talk about it later. Right now he just wants to get away from the war and this crappy ninja profession as soon as possible, so he can calm down and have a good rest.

Besides, he could just try to get some money from the summoned ninja, right? Why bother taking on a dangerous mission?

Li Ke recalled the feeling of the Water Severing Wave released by Senju Tobirama using his own body. Although he still didn't quite understand it, he remembered the feeling clearly. From then on, as long as he practiced hard, he would be able to learn the Water Severing Wave, which he had never been able to learn.

It’s a bit troublesome that I don’t know when the shared space will be enabled again.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ke tried hard to sit up, and the moment he sat up, the door of his ward opened.

Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai appeared in front of the gate. After seeing Li Ke wake up, Yuhi Kurenai, who was holding a bouquet of flowers, immediately threw away the flowers in her hand and rushed towards Li Ke.

"Carbon clean!"

Xiurihong's ruby-like eyes were filled with tears. She grasped Li Ke's hand tightly, put Li Ke's hand on her face, felt Li Ke's body temperature, and started crying.

"Finally! You finally woke up! Clean up! Don't do stupid things next time!"

At this moment, Xiurihong no longer cared about other things. She just wanted to show her concern for Li Ke!
Asma, who was standing behind her, looked at the scene awkwardly. Her feet trembled as she was about to step in. In the end, she pretended nothing had happened, walked in, and greeted Li Ke with a smile.

"Great, Qingtan, you finally woke up!"

Li Ke felt helpless when he saw Asuma, who would not even frown even if he died for him, was so twisted. However, he really did not have any feelings of apologizing to the other party.

His relationship with Xi Ri Kurenai had always been very strange. He looked very decent in his life, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was upright, giving people a very reliable and mature feeling.

In addition, having lived two lives, Li Ke knows how terrible this world is, so he has been working hard to train himself since he was young. Naturally, his strength is far beyond those children who did not understand the cruelty of war before.

Therefore, the label of mature and reliable has always been attached to him, and for this reason, he was assigned to the same class with Asuma when the classes were divided.

As for Xi Ri Hong, she is somewhat obsessed with her father.

In other words, she prefers men with a mature style. Li Ke's every move can attract her attention, but Li Ke is focused on improving his own strength and has no intention of making a move on a ten-year-old child, so Xi Rihong has never broken this window paper.

This time, after Li Ke took the initiative to cover their retreat and nearly died, it was obvious what Xi Ri Hong would do. His own mentality also changed slightly because he almost died.

"She should be a family ninja, right?"

The voice of Senju Tobirama suddenly appeared, and Li Ke was stunned for a moment. While wiping the tears from Xihihong's face with his fingers, he spoke in his heart.

"Yes, the daughter of a little ninja clan leader."

However, what he didn't expect was that Senju Tobirama suddenly said something that surprised him.

"I see... So Qingtan, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? She won't give up being a ninja, and you probably won't be able to do business well for a long time, right?"

Li Ke was a little confused.

"what do you mean……"

There was a smile in Senju Tobirama's voice.

"Are you interested in developing some bloodline limits yourself? If you can develop bloodline limits, then you can make your marriage smoother and happier. And I remember the village also has relevant regulations. If you become a bloodline ninja, your business can pay less taxes."

Li Ke was a little puzzled. He didn't expect that the second-generation would actually consider these things for him. Moreover, developing bloodline limits was a bit outrageous, right?

But what Li Ke didn't know was——

The wooden cabinet next to him had been repaired by the Second Generation, who did not have time to shut down his five senses and the control over his body.
