Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 418: People's physiques cannot be generalized
Kakashi woke up to a slight jolt.

He opened his eyes alertly and found himself lying on soft and comfortable silk and cotton. The whitish light seeped in from the window frame of the carriage, and the air in his nostrils was cool.

What happened? Were we saved?
Kakashi was dazed for a moment, and his last memory was the scene of himself falling down from poison in front of Scorpion.

Scorpion is indeed a very scary enemy. A large number of puppets can kill him by kiting him. There is also the Third Generation Wind Shadow puppet, which is known as the "strongest Wind Shadow". His tricky Magnetic Escape is scary even if he is not in the desert.

Especially the poison that can penetrate anywhere. Even a medical ninja of Lady Tsunade's level would find it difficult to deal with it if she doesn't analyze and crack the poison in advance.

Kakashi could even feel that the other party was holding back, otherwise he would have been defeated even faster.

Not to mention Orochimaru...

Kakashi's heart tightened when he thought of this, and he suddenly stood up and pulled open the curtain.

The familiar figure was half lying with his hands behind his head, right foot on his left knee, looking contented. After hearing the noise, he turned his head and smiled at him.

"Hey, wake up."

Not dead...

Kakashi's shoulders collapsed silently, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare. He let out a long breath and quickly calmed down.

"Where are we now? Are there any pursuers?"

"There are no pursuers. We are safe now."

Luke nodded to the distance: "You have slept for three days. Now we have passed the border of the Fire Country and will soon reach Konoha."

Kakashi nodded and spoke hesitantly: "How did we... escape?"

"you forgot?"

Luke was surprised and looked at Kakashi with astonishment.

Kakashi frowned and tried hard to recall, but still couldn't remember any details and could only shake his head helplessly.

"Have you really forgotten that you defeated Scorpion of the Red Sand and saved me from Orochimaru?"

Luke looked at Kakashi sincerely and made up what happened next.

Kakashi seemed even more confused. His chakra was almost exhausted and he was poisoned. His only achievement was smashing a few worthless puppets. How could he accomplish the feat of defeating Scorpion and rescuing Luke from Orochimaru?
"Tell me about it in detail."

"That's it..."

Luke spoke slowly, leaving himself enough time to make up a story: "At that time, I was captured by Orochimaru and taken to Scorpion to reunite. You had already fallen. Orochimaru invited me to join the Akatsuki organization and said that if I agreed, he would not hurt me."

"You agreed?"

Kakashi's face turned serious.

Luke shook his head. "I said I can join the Akatsuki organization, but the prerequisite is that Scorpion of the Red Sand will let you go and help you detoxify."

Kakashi felt warm at heart when he heard this: "There's no way he would agree to that."

Scorpion's parents died at the hands of Hatake Sakumo.

Kakashi would not think that there was anything wrong with his father's behavior of killing enemies on the battlefield. There is no right or wrong on the battlefield, only enemies. All ninjas going to the battlefield should have this awareness.

But he also knew that hatred would migrate along blood lines.

"Yes, he is determined to kill you, and he doesn't have an antidote. This is to be expected. After all, he has transformed himself into a puppet and is not afraid of poison at all. He has never thought of leaving anyone alive."

Luke sighed and said calmly, "So I can't join Akatsuki. I can't join an organization that killed my friends. Orochimaru is going to attack me after he feels sorry for me..."

"and then?"

Kakashi asked nervously.

"Then you suddenly woke up, rushing up shouting about bonds, youth, friendship and the like."

As we all know, as long as there is an explosive background music and slogans are shouted at a very high volume, any enemy can be defeated. This is also recorded in Fairy Tail.

Luke blinked, clenched his right fist and tapped his left palm: "You finished off Scorpion of the Red Sand in just a few moves, and Orochimaru could only flee in panic under your hands."

In the following time, he praised Kakashi to the skies, almost saying that he was the reincarnation of the God of the Ninja World. Kakashi almost couldn't hold it in anymore and ended with one sentence.

"You were as strong as the teeth of a ghost at that time!"

Kakashi: "..."

Although he was willing to believe Lu Ke, facing such an outrageous story was a bit...

The kind of plot that explodes after shouting a few slogans only appears in mainstream hot-blooded comics, right? And shouting about the bond of youthful friendship is more like something Kai would do than him.

Thinking of Kai, Kakashi suddenly felt relieved and actually felt that such a plot was not outrageous.

Lu Ke then gave an unscientific explanation: "As we all know, a person's full potential will burst out when faced with life and death. It makes sense that you broke through yourself at the critical moment and surpassed Scorpion and Orochimaru."

"What's reasonable about that?"

"People's physiques cannot be generalized. How do you know you can't do it?"

Kakashi was stunned for a moment and closed his eyes.

He was so confused when he woke up that he overlooked many details. Now that he was reminded, he looked at himself carefully and noticed the differences.

He felt a kind of comfort he had never experienced before, as if all the fatigue and burdens in his body were washed away. His body felt so light that he couldn't even believe it, and vitality was radiating within his body.

"The condition is very good, or better yet, it is worse than ever before..."

Kakashi was amazed at the feeling of his reborn body. He felt that every inch of his muscles had been tempered, and his chakra...

He opened his eyes, full of disbelief.

The vast amount of chakra in his body was beyond his imagination even in his dreams. If the original amount of chakra was a stream, now it had become a river. It was incredibly abundant, and the speed of refining it was as fast as the waist of the protagonist in a pornographic novel.

Is this... really his body?
Could it be a fantasy before being poisoned to death by the scorpion's poison?
“Do you feel any difference?”

Seeing the barely concealed shock on Kakashi's face, Luke asked with a smile.

If it were his current body, he would indeed have the capital to defeat those two men, Kakashi murmured.

"The scorpion's venom seems to have automatically dissolved, and there is no sign of injury in the body..."

Lu Ke nodded slightly: "This is undoubtedly the life-and-death situation that has forced out your potential."

"My physique seems to have become quite strong..."

"Well, the situation between life and death has brought out your potential."

"The amount of chakra has more than tripled..."

“Between life and death, potential.”

Luke nodded and repeated the same reason over and over again, which made Kakashi couldn't help but doubt himself.

Does he really have such great potential?

Although he did not deny that he was a genius, there were countless geniuses in the world. Not to mention those far away, Shisui and Itachi in Konoha were not inferior to him at all, and there were also many promising talents among the younger ones.

"Okay, don't think too much. Leave professional matters to professionals. When you go back, just let Lady Tsunade check if you have any hidden dangers."

Lu Ke simply consoled him and shrugged:

"Becoming stronger isn't a bad thing."

This was indeed true, so Kakashi stopped asking any more questions.

For a ninja, the importance of strength is self-evident. If he had his current strength from the beginning, he would not be so passive when facing the attacks of Scorpion and Orochimaru.

Thinking of this, Kakashi had the urge to find a place to vent his strength and test how strong he was now.

But with the attack, he remained patient and chose to wait until he returned to Konoha before considering other things. After taking a short break in a village along the way and replenishing dry food and water from local vendors, the two returned to the carriage without stopping.

After finishing his meal, Kakashi felt his lower abdomen slightly bloated. He hadn't solved his physiological problems for three days, so he found a place to drain water during his break.

After a moment, Kakashi returned with a strange look on his face.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that the small card that has been with me for many years has become a big card.

Luke in the carriage glanced at Kakashi's expression which was a mixture of joy and embarrassment, and shook his head in disdain.

My good brother is so ignorant, he is just amused by the level of his entry into the book world.

Did you know that there is a pirate Luke between you and Rihanna Luke?

…………

Otogakure, underground base.

The white-haired boy walked into the deepest room and looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

Orochimaru changed out of his Akatsuki uniform with a black background and red clouds, took off the ring with the word "Ku" on it, and put on a white research suit. He no longer looked as cold as before, but instead had the temperament of a wise scholar.

"Lord Orochimaru, you..."

"What's wrong, Kabuto? Are you not satisfied with my new look?"

"No, not really."

Dou lowered his head in panic and began his daily work process.

As Orochimaru's ace spy and butler, he traveled around to collect intelligence for Orochimaru, and also helped a lot in managing this base and Sound Village.

Orochimaru listened to Kabuto's report as usual, until the other party talked about the preparation of the reincarnation container, then he finally showed fatigue and interrupted him.

"Okay, no need to say more."

Kabuto looked at Orochimaru in confusion. In the past, he should have paid special attention to all the reincarnation containers, and prepared every step carefully from selection to cultivation.

"Too narrow-minded. I was really too narrow-minded before."

Orochimaru muttered to himself, "There is no point in lamenting the dead, all the techniques in the world are meaningless, and eternal life is meaningless. Everything is just for the 'ultimate'."

"For this I need God's favor and attention, for this I have to give everything. My life before this was nothing..."

"Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto shouted nervously, feeling some kind of fear.

If the previous Orochimaru gave people a gloomy and cold appearance, like a dangerous snake that made people's spines shiver, then the current Orochimaru gives people the feeling that he is closer to an inhuman creature, as if he does not belong to this world.

"From today on, I am your father, brother, and boss."

Orochimaru looked at the white-haired boy and whispered the same words he had used to recruit him.

Kabuto came back to his senses from his fear and stared at Orochimaru in a daze.

"Do you remember our agreement?"

"You mean... collect all the information and deduce who you are?"

"Yes, I have helped you fulfill this agreement and collect all the information. I will give you the answer before I leave."

Orochimaru licked his lips habitually, "You don't have to be a spy anymore. You are a child with great potential, even the potential to surpass me. Let me teach you a special technique."

"Special technique?"

"Its name is Impure World Reincarnation, a technique for resurrecting the dead. It is a forbidden technique invented by the Second Hokage. It is not perfect or stable enough."

Orochimaru looked at his body, as if it was just a useless burden. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I will perfect this technique after seeing the 'ultimate'."

"Once you learn it, use this technique on me!"

Kabuto suddenly raised his head and looked at Orochimaru in disbelief, only to see the calmness in the other's eyes like a deep pool.

…………

Konoha Village, Senkawa Ninja Tool Shop.

The yellow-haired vixen and the black-haired little ball bumped into each other at the gate.

"Sasuke, what are you doing here?"

The yellow-haired fox took the lead in attacking, his eyes wide open menacingly to increase his momentum.

The black-haired little boy looked at Naruto in a pretentious manner and said, "What else can you do in the Ninja Tool Shop besides buying ninja tools? Don't you even know this? I'm a frequent visitor here."

"I'm not the last one, I got full marks in the practical class!"

Naruto was flailing like someone's tail was stepped on.

"So what? You failed the theoretical knowledge and can't learn the Three Body Technique. If you're not the last one, who is the last one?"

Sasuke snorted coldly, "I heard that you are also planning to take part in this year's graduation examination. Do you want to learn from me? Well, after all, following the Uchiha is indeed a shortcut to success. But I advise you not to do this. A mediocre person with insufficient ability should just study hard in school."

"Huh? I remember someone wanted to graduate early in his freshman year, but he failed the test and cried like a little kid and threw himself into his brother's arms!"

Facing his old enemy, Naruto displayed extraordinary attack power, accurately focusing on the enemy's weaknesses.

Sasuke's face turned dark. He imitated his brother Uchiha Itachi, who graduated from the first grade but was defeated due to lack of strength. It was indeed a shame of his life.

Naruto took advantage of the victory and slapped his forehead, as if he had figured something out and laughed triumphantly.

"Hahaha, I get it. You're worried about failing the test again, so you bought shuriken before the test and took the time to practice, right?"

"Humph, I don't know what it means."

Sasuke's body stiffened when his thoughts were spoken. As the youngest son of the head of the Uchiha family, he was spoiled since he was young, and he was indeed not that diligent and hardworking.

Although I had talent and always got first place in grades, I was still far from passing the test. I started to panic a week before the test and thought about practicing harder.

He is a born evil loser, and he will be taught a lesson sooner or later!
squeak~
The door was pushed open, and Qianchuan Guang yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"It's Naruto... and Sasuke."

Naruto greeted energetically, "Good morning, Hikaru!"

Sasuke nodded coldly, with the arrogance and reserve unique to Uchiha.

Qianchuan Guang opened the door of the shop and muttered softly: "Can you two not quarrel here? I just ate the Daifuku of Yu no Kuni in my dream...Brother!?"

A carriage stopped in front of the store. Lu Ke had just landed and had not had time to express his feelings about his hometown after a long absence when he saw a small figure rushing towards him.

The stupid brother hugged his left leg with his eyes shining.

"Brother, you are finally back!"

"Brother Luke!"

The yellow-haired fox also cried out with great excitement, and immediately hugged his right leg.

Luke: ???
How come there are two more pendants on my legs when I just got home?

Sasuke next to them was stunned. He had never seen the two friends be so well-behaved. Could it be that hugging someone’s thigh is the latest popular way of saying hello?
As a member of the noble Uchiha clan, should he show that he also knows this way of greeting and is more proficient in it than you two commoners?
He hesitated and looked at the two legs that were already full, then turned to look at Kakashi who had just stepped out of the carriage.

The two gazes collided.

Three seconds later, they both looked away in disgust.
