Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

"Nara Shikatoki! What are you daydreaming about? Have you finished the report I asked you to do? Let me tell you, if you don't finish it today, you can forget about your bonus this month!"

A sarcastic voice rang in my ears.

The scene in the deer's eyes changed again.

I was just standing on the street a moment ago, and now I'm in the office.

The previously vague memories gradually became clearer.

The foul-mouthed Mediterranean man in front of me is named Li Qiang, who was Lu Shi's boss before he traveled through time.

A complete and utterly mean-spirited person.

When employees are working, if they do well, it's because of his effective guidance; if they don't do well, then the employees themselves must take responsibility.

Lu's brief moment of distraction made Li Qiang very impatient.

"Are you even hearing me?! Are you pretending to be dead?!"

"Am I back?" Shikatoki was a little dazed, then suddenly realized his mistake, "If I'm back! Why am I still called Nara Shikatoki?!"

"When it's time to leave, I'll tell you..."

Li Qiang was about to unleash a string of profanities when Lu Shi grabbed Li Qiang's head and slammed it hard onto the desk.

The immense force caused Li Qiang to fall into a coma instantly.

"Cool!"

Lu Shi has wanted to do this for a long time!

When the people in the office looked at the deer with surprised expressions, they then let out various exclamations.

"The Nara deer have gone mad!"

"Call the police! Murder!"

The noisy environment gave Lu Shi a headache, so he activated his "Sage Mode," unleashing a powerful aura that swept across the entire office building.

These ordinary people didn't even have time to react before they were overwhelmed to death by the sheer force of the aura.

"Click!"

Cracks kept appearing in the space where Lu Shi was, and it soon shattered completely.

A man who looks exactly like Lu Shi stands in front of Lu Shi.

"Are you the previously undiscovered dark personality?" Lu Shi asked uncertainly.

The Dark Deer across from him had a contorted expression and a trembling voice, "Why?! Why?! Why do you keep making me work overtime?! Why are you docking my bonus?! Why doesn't the whole world understand me?!"

Lu Shi's expression was somewhat complicated, even melancholy.

If Lu Shi hadn't traveled through time, these problems would indeed have made him uncomfortable.

Before transmigrating, Lu Shi was just an ordinary person with all the troubles of an ordinary person.

"You...you must be an ordinary person, right?"

Lu Shi did not sense any energy fluctuations from the Dark Deer.

But I'm also a little uncertain.

After all, his Sage Mode could perfectly blend into nature and conceal his aura. However, Lu Shi had a feeling that the Dark Lu Shi on the other side was just an ordinary person.

Dark Deer paused, stopping his hysterical accusations, as if he hadn't just been acting so wildly.

"Honestly, didn't you have any troubles when you were in the ninja world?"

Although Dark Deer did not explicitly state that he was an ordinary person, this statement said it all.

Shika chuckled lightly, "Maybe it's because Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen are always giving me trouble. Is this considered an unsuccessful thing?"

"Wasn't all of this within your expectations?"

"Really? I don't even know myself."

"Confidence comes from knowing the original work." Dark Deer's words revealed Deer's true thoughts.

Shikashi scratched his head. "That's true, but there are many differences. For example, Nawaki didn't die, Hatake Sakumo didn't die, I saw the Grim Reaper, the Jashin, and the Mouryou, Akane who didn't appear in the original work, and so on. There are just too many differences!"

"You don't want to change these things!" Dark Deer said calmly.

Lu Shi did not deny it, "Yes, because once it changes, it means that the foresight I gained from the original work will soon leave me."

"But you still did it."

"Yes! I did it anyway."

Lu repeated himself, then let out a long sigh.

"When I first arrived in the Naruto world, I always thought of myself as a spectator, enjoying the thrill of having a god-like perspective."

"But after getting to know them, we became friends. They gave me friendships, love, and kinship that I had never experienced in my past life! How could I possibly take it all for granted!"

Ultimately, this is my choice.

Dark Deer curled his lip. "Heh, you're just indecisive. You haven't even considered the future."

"Why think so much? Life is full of disappointments. I just need to improve my strength and keep those disappointments away from me."

"Besides, when I transmigrated into the Naruto world, I, like a butterfly, had already stirred up a storm, hadn't I?"

After Lu finished speaking, he felt relaxed all over.

Dark Deer scoffed, "You're quite nonchalant. So, you're also willing to accept the dark side of your past life?"

"No! I still hate it! That doesn't contradict itself!"

"Fine, what can I do? I'm just an ordinary person, there's nothing I can do about it. Well then, from now on, don't have any regrets in the ninja world!"

The Dark Deer's figure slowly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Lu Shi seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she only replied with one word, "Mm."

It was already dark outside.

Kurama stared intently at the deer: "Is it really going to take this long? Logically, even if you can't win, you should at most be knocked back! You can just try again next time, right? Is it because this kid's ninjutsu is too underhanded that we're stuck in this stalemate?"

Nine Lama's mind was in turmoil, and his condition during the deer's time was very abnormal.

"Hey! How could this happen?!"

Nine Lama looked in the direction of the deer with horror.

Lu Shi was right in front of him, but he couldn't sense Lu Shi's presence at all.

If that were all, the Nine Lamas would at most be surprised, not terrified.

After all, having followed Lu Shi for so long, it knew about Lu Shi's Sage Mode.

What terrified the Nine-Tailed Fox was that the traces of a powerful figure on Lu Shi's body were gradually disappearing.

At this moment, Lu Shi was just an ordinary person in the eyes of the Nine Lamas.

"Stop messing around! Don't ruin Shikatoki!" Kurama's chakra transformed into a tail, trying to pull Shikatoki out of the waterfall.

The moment just before you touch the deer.

The deer opened its eyes.

It was a very ordinary look, but it directly shattered Kurama's chakra.

Nine Lama felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of threat from his very soul after just one glance at the deer.

"Hiss~!"

This feeling comes and goes quickly.

When they looked at each other again, Lu Shi was now just like an ordinary person, as if he had just had a hallucination of Kurama.

"Little devil Lu Shi, are you alright?" Kurama asked tentatively.

Shikatoki slowly turned his head to look at Kurama, a ferocious smile spreading across his face. "Nine-Tails! Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, how could I have so easily taken over Nara Shikatoki's body? You shall become my power too!"

A large number of black chains instantly subdued Nine-Tailed Fox.

Lu Shi disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Jiu Lama.

Nine-Tailed Rabjam realized he couldn't struggle at all, and could only close his eyes in despair, "My life is over!"

The Nine Lamas, who were prepared to die, did not feel any pain.

I just feel a lot of discomfort in my head.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the smug-looking Nara deer.

"Behold my ultimate move, a furious head-slapping shovel!"

Kurama struggled frantically, yelling, "Nara Shikatoki! You're the dog! Do you know how worried I was about you?! I thought you'd been possessed!"

"Hahaha! I am Nara Shikatoki, how could I be so easily possessed!"

Lu Shi put down the Nine Lamas.

The Nine Lamas circled the deer, turning left and right.

"What's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you've gotten weaker, but also more dangerous?!"

"How can I explain this to you? My current state is one of inner peace and simplicity, a return to one's true nature."

Nine-Tailed Buddha looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Indeed, this concept doesn't exist in the Naruto world.

Lu Shi didn't know how to explain it clearly for a moment.

Nine-Tailed Buddha thought for a moment and asked, "Can this state significantly increase one's strength?"

"Actually, no, it's just a change in mindset, and it will be helpful for future cultivation." Lu Shi was telling the truth.

"What good is that?"

"Of course it works. My Sage Mode has entered a new phase, and I'm moving towards becoming a true Sage."

Lu Shi's tone was filled with longing.

The chakra system is ultimately a product of the Otsutsuki clan.

Natural energy is the original power of this planet, and this should be considered cultivation, right?

It's hard to say for sure when it will happen.

He has never practiced immortality, so it's not appropriate to make any hasty judgments.

"An immortal? So, between you and that old man, who's more powerful now?"
