The Red Moon of Konoha

Chapter 130 People who don't know how to value their companions are worse than trash
Time flies, time flies.

Before I knew it, it was already September.

Although it has already entered autumn, the weather is still sultry, and the mountains are still lush with green branches and leaves. Kakashi traveled all the way from the south to the north in the country of fire, and there was no sight of the autumn leaves falling until he entered the territory of the country of Tian. Going north, I just got a glimpse of the scene of autumn.

He took a leave of absence from Anbu.

And left a letter to Minato-sensei.

After that, he resolutely went north alone, left the village under the guise of a mission, traveled thousands of miles, and arrived at Ershang Mountain in Tianzhi Country in early September.

Ershang Mountain, the name is very strange, no one knows why it has this name, but this mountain is a rare tall peak in Tian Zhiguo, and there is a shrine dedicated to the goddess on the mountain. Compared with the strange name of the mountain, no one knows Which god is the goddess enshrined in the shrine here is just called the goddess.

Kakashi climbed up the mountain along the bluestone paved and winding mountain road.

On the left and right sides of the mountain road are lush forests with the withered yellow color of autumn. Occasionally, you can see lush and lush bamboo forests that are not afraid of the chill of autumn. Birds and animals in the forest are rustling, and there are clusters of wild flowers blooming on the edge of the stone steps. The scenery is interesting. All are excellent, but Kakashi can't keep the beauty of the scenery in his eyes at the moment, and his heart is full of indescribable entangled emotions, and he is really in no mood to appreciate the scenery here.

He pondered over and over how to express his wish when he saw Uchiha Nagarju.

Kakashi is no stranger to Uchiha Nagarjuna. He, Rin and Obito follow the teacher's side. Sunshine personality, good at communicating with people, the relationship between the two is good, Lin's temperament is also lively and cheerful, and she can talk and laugh freely when she meets Nagarjuna.

Only him, even if he met Nagarjuna, he mostly watched Lin and Obito talking with Nagarjuna. Most of the time, he just watched with a cold eye, and even if he had a conversation occasionally, he had nothing to say after the greeting.

Not just Nagarjuna, except for those few acquaintances, he generally rejected everyone else.

Later, Uchiha Nagaruju killed Danzo and defected from the village. Kakashi's senses became more complicated for this rebellious ninja who avenged his father. Danzo's, but that tiny gratitude didn't make him intentionally make friends with Nagarjuna -- besides, Nagarjuna was already rebellious at that time.

If the two have no intersection, it doesn't matter even if they don't have any friendship, but this time, he intends to obtain ninja tools from Uchiha Nagari, which is a bit troublesome, after all, the friendship between the two is really weak , why should Nagarjuna agree to his unfeeling request, where does Kakashi have such a big face... Kakashi knows this well.

But he still came.

He still wants to give it a try, but he is not willing to give up like this.

However, no matter how resolute the determination is, the fact of unfeeling invitation will not change. Kakashi set off from Konoha all the way, thinking about how to communicate with Uchiha Nagari, but it was a pity that he didn't know until he sat down for two years. The land on the mountain did not come up with a suitable wording.

With apprehension, entanglement, irritability, and gloomy mood, Kakashi finally came to the shrine halfway up the mountain.

Looking at the huge torii gate in front of him, Kakashi stopped, took a deep breath, summoned up his courage, stepped through the torii gate, stepped into the "God's Domain", and walked all the way along Omotesando, passing Tesui She walked all the way to the front of the main hall before stopping again and not moving forward.

Because, he saw the slender figure standing outside the hall, dressed in red, looking up at the statue in the hall.

"Crimson Clothes..."

Looking at the back of the one who had worshiped on the battlefield, Kakashi's heart was shocked, and all kinds of distracting thoughts dissipated immediately. Apart from the obsession to obtain ninja tools, he felt a deep pressure on his shoulders, making him unable to breathe. He couldn't help becoming anxious, as if a heavy stone was falling under his feet, but at this moment he couldn't move his feet and take a step forward.

In front of the main hall, Nagarjuna had already noticed Kakashi's arrival. After all, Kakashi did not deliberately hide his existence, but Kakashi suddenly stood still behind him, which made him a little puzzled, and he did not speak. Just standing there, like a puppet.

Nagarjuna didn't intend to put on a show either, he turned around and saw Kakashi in black casual clothes with his forehead guard off - the mask was still on.

"Kakashi... I wanted to say hello with the words 'long time no see', but we haven't talked much before, so it's okay to think about it, but you are Minato's apprentice, and you My father is also someone I admire... So, don't be offended, just speak up if you have anything to say."

Under the mask, Kakashi seemed to move his lips, but he still didn't speak, as if he was stunned.

Nagarjuna raised his eyebrows, and his sharp sword-like eyes pierced Kakashi's face, "You specially asked Asuka and Homura to send a message to me, saying that you want to meet me, and now I am here, so you can say whatever you want ! For the sake of your father and Minato, I will listen carefully."

Of course, it's just listening carefully. Before he figured out what Kakashi, or Minato, was trying to do, he only planned to wear his ears instead of his mouth.

When talking to Kakashi, Nagaru didn't relax his vigilance on the surroundings. He never forgot the feat of Minato's instant killing of hundreds of people in the battlefield, and he was on guard against the yellow flash that might appear by his side at any time and surprise him. After all, he was a traitor No matter what, his identity is true, and it is not impossible for Minato to kill him.

[Senrenhua] and [Susanenghu] are ready to be released, and they are ready for the contingency.

"I want power."

Just when Nagarjuna was suspicious, Kakashi finally spoke.

However, Longshu was a little taken aback.

He blinked and looked at Kakashi, "Uh, uh, uh? What did you say?"

"I want power."

After the words were out of his mouth, Kakashi's heart swayed, he simply ignored the wording and the like, and expressed his intentions simply and directly.

"strength?"

Longshu was really a little confused.

What does this mean?Does Kakashi mean it literally?Or are you saying some code?
He concentrated his attention to the extreme in an instant, and waited for several seconds, but he did not wait until he received the yellow flash and a group of tyrannical Konoha ninjas who rushed out of the signal. Only the breeze blew slowly across the mountains, shaking The branches and leaves of the tree are full of blue and yellow leaves falling in the wind.

An awkward silence filled the shrine.

The priests of the shrine have long been driven away by Nagarjuna's illusion manipulation, so at this moment, there are only Nagarjuna and Kakashi in this place.

"Cough cough!"

Nagarjuna cleared his throat, broke the awkward silence, stared at Kakashi, "Kakashi, you... say it again?"

"..." Kakashi was also depressed, what does this answer mean?Doesn't fit his idea?He has said this twice, so why ask?Is this deliberately tormenting him?But regardless of what he thinks in his heart, what should be said has to be said, because he has something to ask for now.

"I want strength, and I hope Senior Nagarjuna can give me a ninja tool."

Kakashi gritted his teeth, bowed his head and bowed his head, speaking sincerely.

"...Ninja gear? That's how it is." Nagarjuna suddenly realized that it had been a long time since no one had asked him to buy ninja gear, and besides the time he made a deal with Orochimaru, he hadn't really thought about giving himself away. The carefully cast ninja tools were sold to others, so I was a little confused for a while.

"I want my ninja..."

Nagarjuna looked at Kakashi dubiously.

"Is this what you mean? Or..."

"It's my personal request, and it has nothing to do with others. I want the power to avenge my subordinates." Kakashi didn't wait for Nagarjuna to finish speaking, and expressed the depression in his heart in one breath.

Nagarjuna narrowed his eyes. It didn't sound like a lie, but he still didn't dare to believe it. It was the Kakashi who said revenge and the strong and optimistic person in his memory, who had never been rejected time and time again. The gap between Kakashi who was knocked down by pain is a bit big!

"I'm a traitor, why did Minato agree to let you come to see me?"

"I didn't tell the teacher, all this was my behavior in private."

"...Does that mean Minato acquiesced in your actions?"

"······should be."

"Let's not talk about Minato... What do you think? You came into contact with me as a traitor... Do you really desire power so much? Even violating the ninja's rules? I remember correctly If so, Kakashi, did you ever say that... people who break the rules are trash?"

Nagaru stared at Kakashi closely.

"...Yes, I said that a ninja who violates the rules is a waste." After a moment of silence, Kakashi replied shakily, but before Nayuki could speak again, he raised his voice sharply. Said: "But now, I think that people who don't know how to value their companions are worse than trash!!! So, I need strength, and I want to protect my companions..."

He straightened his back, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Nagarjuna.

"The words are very beautiful..." Nagaru believed that Kakashi really came to him to seek power, and he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable strange feeling in his heart, always feeling that he had robbed Orochi Maru's scene, and thinking about all the speculations I made before, I really thought too much.

"However, why should I agree to you? You can't just say something casually, and I will give you the ninja tool I have worked so hard to forge, right? And even if it is given to you, you really think you can help you ······revenge?"

Nagarjuna pulled out the dagger from his waist.

Chanting a mantra in his mouth, he liberated the '捩花', holding the two-meter-long trident in his hand, and the next moment, he threw the trident to Kakashi.

"Try, can you use this kind of long weapon?"

Longshu asked bluntly.

Kakashi held the trident in both hands, and his posture was quite strange. In fact, the two-meter-long trident was really different from the kunai, katana and other short weapons used by ninjas. experience, and without Sharingan, it is impossible to forcibly copy spear techniques for your own use.

This made the expression between Kakashi's brows and eyes a little stiff.

It seems that he thought it was simple.

A powerful ninja tool can greatly enhance one's combat power, but the premise is that the ninja tool can be used like one's arms and fingers. Otherwise, even with a divine weapon in hand, it is difficult to do anything, and it may even backfire own body.

"What? Are you going to give up?"

Looking at Kakashi who was showing a bit of depression, Nagaru laughed.

Kakashi would come to him to pursue power, which was indeed beyond Nagaru's expectation, but Naruki found this "unknown" change very interesting, and he recently had a new understanding about the forging of ninja tools, I am worrying that no one will cooperate with my experiment.

Those weak chickens in Longyin Village were not in Longshu's consideration at all.

His ninja tools are not something that group of trash can play with.

He was thinking about whether to ask Asuka or Homura to cooperate with his research... Kakashi himself delivered it to the door, which is a more suitable experimental sample than Asuka and Homura.

"No, I will never give up just like that." Kakashi gritted his teeth and raised his eyebrows, "I will learn spear skills, it's not..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Nagarjuna glared at Kakashi angrily, hooked his fingers, and felt a slightly stretched chakra line, pulled the trident out of Kakashi's hand, and flew back under Nagarjuna's grasp, "What kind of gun do you practice?" Art? Do you think I want to give you the flowers? I really didn't realize that you kid still has such a thick-skinned skill."

He shook his head, people's hearts are not old, the world is getting worse, even Kakashi's face has become so thick, this world is really getting more and more difficult.

"If you want a ninja tool, it's not impossible, even if it's tailor-made for you, it's still the same problem, you can't give it for nothing, right? There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world, at least, there is no such reason here, ninja tools I can tailor it for you, but what can you give me?"

The extremely sharp question stabbed at Kakashi.

However, Kakashi's tense eyebrows relaxed slightly. Although this question was sharp, it was much better than directly rejecting his plea.

And since Uchiha Ryuki asked this question, there should be something in him that he can value. What he needs to do now is to find the 'thing' that is enough to exchange for a tailor-made powerful ninja. Not necessarily something...

Kakashi was lost in thought.

money?
The possibility is too small, how could a strong man like Uchiha Nagarki be short of money, besides, his net worth is not so rich, he doesn't have that much money.

If it's not money, it's ninjutsu?
For ninjas, the value of ninjutsu is needless to say, but this is also relatively speaking. In front of the Uchiha family, under the watchful eye of Sharingan, as long as it is not blood succession limit or secret art, it is rare for them to learn it. Yes... But the practice experience left by his father, as well as those few original ninjutsu should still be of some value.

Except for money and ninjutsu... When Kakashi was contemplating, he suddenly noticed Nagaru's eyes looking up and down, like a butcher in a slaughterhouse, no, not as cold and indifferent as a butcher , not so much a butcher... It's more like those slave traders calculating the value of slaves.

He felt a chill in his heart, could it be that he was the one who was traded?

This price seems a bit beyond imagination.

However, but... there is no gain without effort, and Kakashi also agrees with this truth. From the very beginning, he never thought about the good thing of the pie falling from the sky, and if it really fell, he might not dare to accept it , maybe it's an iron man who can smash people into a puddle of mud.

Kakashi gritted his teeth, feeling ruthless in his heart, and made up his mind that if he didn't enter the tiger's lair, he would win the tiger's cub. He respectfully said, "Senior Nagarjuna, just speak up! Is there anything I can do?"

"My request is very simple, as long as you cooperate with me in the experiment, I will give you a tailor-made ninja tool." Nagarjuna did not lie anymore, and made his request clear.

"Experiment? I don't know what experiment it is?"

Kakashi asked a little nervously.

It's not that he is timid, but that after the outbreak of the Orochimaru incident, the village still has some taboos about human experiments, and Kakashi is also a little worried that he will become similar to those transformed weird animals in the Orochimaru laboratory. monster.

"Don't worry, my research direction is different from Orochimaru's. I just need you to cooperate with me in testing the ninja tools I forged... After all, those ninja tools were created by me. Let me see it myself. It's hard to find out. There are any flaws and loopholes in it, so what you have to do is to help me check the gaps and make up for the leaks, it is not a dangerous thing." Long Shu comforted me with kind words, fearing that he would scare away the experimental sample he sent to the door.

Kakashi was dubious, but the matter had come to this point, and he was not reconciled to let him give up at this point. After thinking about it, he still bit the bullet and agreed.
