Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Isshiki Otsutsuki successfully replaced Naruto's consciousness. The black markings on his right arm suddenly turned bright red, and then his yellow hair was surrounded by long horns.

When a halo appeared on the long horn and energy fluctuations were generated, the members of the sealing team and the perception team hurriedly pressed the emergency button, and the entire laboratory was instantly enveloped by the barrier.

"An interesting technique, but it's useless to me!"

A black, circular vortex suddenly appeared, and Isshiki Otsutsuki, relying on his powerful chakra, forcibly broke free of the restraints and then instantly disappeared from the sealed space.

"The Karma has been released! Go and inform the Hokage!"

"Send a message to Kirigakure: tell the senior that Naruto has likely been devoured!"

The entire laboratory instantly descended into chaos. Mitarashi Anko, in charge of security, loudly reassured the panicked lab workers. After receiving clear instructions, everyone calmed down and continued working.

"Anko! Is Naruto using that vortex-shaped space-time ninjutsu?"

Jingyin rushed downstairs and asked loudly. Hongdou nodded, pointed to the footage recorded on the monitor, bit her finger, and whispered:

"That Otsutsuki has indeed been resurrected! Naruto can't use that space-time ninjutsu."

Watching the footage repeatedly on the monitor, the two men and the staff around them fell silent. The Hokage had lost his son tonight.

...

A vortex suddenly appeared in a room deep underground in the interrogation department. Otsutsuki Isshiki sensed the familiar smell of "food" and thus moved there.

Bound by the cursed seal, Sasuke stared in terror at Naruto, who had horns on his head and golden eyes, and let out a low growl:

"What did you do to Naruto?!"

"So that's how it is. It's actually the soul of that deceased member of our clan? What a strange state. I never imagined that such a pupil technique existed in this world."

The cold voice of Isshiki Otsutsuki mixed with Naruto's youthful voice, creating an indescribable eeriness.

Sasuke's eyes widened as he tried to twist his body to retaliate, but Naruto's right hand, covered in red markings, quickly landed on his shoulder, and Isshiki Otsutsuki's strange voice rang out again:

"I need the chakra within you..."

"Interesting, I actually care about you that much."

Ignoring Naruto's resistance, Otsutsuki Isshiki focused his mind and directly absorbed the special chakra from Sasuke's body into Naruto's body.

“The Otsutsuki can also transform into each other! This will speed up the thawing process.”

"You monsters!"

After regaining consciousness, Hagoromo Otsutsuki let out a weak growl before being "digested" by Ichishiki Otsutsuki.

He had already "eaten" inside the container before, and although the amount was smaller this time, the unexpected joy still made him happy.

Since his "death," Otsutsuki Isshiki felt his luck had improved, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes as he thought of the mysterious ordinary man, Sanzu Amado.

"Test that inferior creature again when we get back."

When the black vortex disappeared, Danzo and Ryoma Aburame appeared outside the room a little later.

Seeing Sasuke unconscious, Ryoma Aburame hesitated, but Danzo narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"The Otsutsuki can indeed devour evil spirits!"

"The reincarnation of Indra's chakra is Sasuke Uchiha, and the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra is Naruto Uzumaki."

"The so-called Sage of Six Paths and his son are now 'dead.' Next, we need to cooperate with the Fifth Hokage to issue a statement to prevent that chakra from reappearing."

"Ninja Sect? What a nonsensical ideology. The dead only hinder the village's progress."

"Lord Danzo, is everything alright with Clan Chief Fugaku? We don't know anything about Sasuke's condition after he lost that chakra."

Ryoma Aburame lowered his head and voiced his concerns, but Danzo responded with a resolute expression, tapping his cane twice on the ground in a solemn manner:

"With the water stopped, there won't be any problems at all!"

"Even if Fugaku has a problem with it, after seeing those Mangekyou Sharingan, he'll only thank us for saving his youngest son."

"Even if the worst-case scenario occurs and Sasuke can no longer continue his ninja career, there will be no objections from the Uchiha."

"Ryuma, everything is for the village! Naruto's departure means the danger is temporarily over, but we must remain vigilant."

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

Ryoma Aburame responded loudly, and Danzo, who had been transformed by Kotoamatsukami, had completely regained his strength. Although the Root had disappeared, they could still bear the darkness for the village.

In mid-October, on a barren land, a small slug, about the height of a person, slowly crawled to a stone wall with intricate patterns. As a black vortex appeared, the slug disappeared.

The tailed beasts surrounding the metal cage greeted the live slug, with the four-tailed beast Son Goku being the happiest. Osamu Furukawa's Yin-Yang Release technique had improved by leaps and bounds, and he was not far from freedom.

"Any new news? It's still better to live in Shikkotsu Forest, where we can always hear you guys passing on information."

"Without any special news, Konoha has given up on finding Naruto Uzumaki. That child should be about to be devoured. The progress is faster than we expected."

The live slug sighed in a soft, sweet voice. It had only been three months since the wedge thawed, but the other party's speed was faster than Furukawa Osamu had imagined. She didn't know exactly what had happened.

Although the six-tailed slug-like dog also resembled a slug, it lowered its head and cautiously inquired:

"Will it affect Master Xiu's cultivation progress?"

"Probably not! A mature Otsutsuki would be more effective, and the other side should know that. They wouldn't revive easily without being confident, as containers are still very rare."

The live slug gave an affirmative answer, and the tailed beasts all gathered around. They started discussing incessantly when that Otsutsuki would come to his death.

At this moment, Furukawa Osamu's spirit floated out, seated cross-legged above the six Truth-Seeking Balls. Hearing the intense discussion among the Tailed Beasts, he said with some regret:

"It will take more time to fuse the Ten-Tails with its spirit form and then modify it with your chakra and Yin-Yang Release."

"Theoretically, the chances of success are very high. Devouring the Otsutsuki and transforming it into a divine tree, and using a spirit body as a substitute should not be a problem."

The tailed beasts all indicated that they had plenty of time. Furukawa Osamu waved his hand, turned to look at the Nine-Tails, now back in its original form, and smiled as he reassured them:

"Kurama's idea to use Yin-Yang Release to modify the Ten-Tails' life form is excellent!"

"I almost forgot that Yin-Yang Escape has this effect. Those who have made contributions should be rewarded. Once that guy down there has eaten his fill, I will definitely separate you all again."

"This period of time is a good opportunity for you to think about changing your look. By then, I should be able to help you reshape the body you want."

"Great! Lord Xiu, I've been wanting to get rid of my bloated body."

"I'm used to this posture now, so I won't waste Lord Xiu's strength."

"Lord Xiu, could you have a few more tails?"

As soon as Shukaku finished speaking, Kurama, in the distance, opened its eyes, its nine enormous tails swaying wildly, and responded irritably:

"After chakra is divided, everyone is the same, so what's the use of having so many tails?"

"I'm going to whip you to death, you stupid fox, with even more of my tail!"

Shukaku started shouting and yelling, but Kurama ignored it. The reason why Furukawa Osamu was able to merge his spirit body with the modified Ten-Tails was essentially because the Sage of Six Paths had a high level of spirit body strength.

In the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox, this was like feeding the old man to that mindless monster with only the instinct to eat. The thought of such a tragic ending had almost made the big fox cry these past few days.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, who had made the suggestion, felt increasingly guilty. It hadn't expected that Furukawa Osamu's Yin-Yang Release had progressed so quickly; creating consciousness from nothing was already in the realm of a "god."

"We need to keep working hard; that guy has been starving for too long."

"Although I don't need the divine tree I transform to absorb the life of this planet, it would be better if the sapling was stronger and had better aptitude."

"Yes, Lord Xiu!"

Upon hearing the instructions, the tailed beasts responded loudly, offering up some chakra, which was not a difficult task for them.

When Naruto, who had escaped Konoha, awoke, he found himself on a desolate land. The boy looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and murmured unconsciously:

"There are places like this in the ninja world? You can't even see any greenery..."

"It's in the northwest direction. There's a stone tablet there. Use the power of the Karma seal to channel your chakra."

"That was a coordinate I created."

Isshiki Otsutsuki commanded the container in a cold tone. Naruto pursed his lips but still ran faster towards the indicated location. Seeing the "horned" pattern on the towering, massive stone monument, he subconsciously asked:

Does this represent your identity?

Not getting the response he expected, Naruto tried to stall for time, but Isshiki Otsutsuki regained control of the body:

"What do you think I'm holding back my strength for?"

"Hmph! I wonder how many of them are left in their clan. Once they arrive on this planet, they'll quickly find another set of coordinates!"

Otsutsuki Isshiki, having successfully suppressed Naruto, was somewhat smug, and his revival was progressing faster and faster, all thanks to the Sage of Six Paths.

"This time, no one can take the Chakra Fruit from me."

Chapter 300 The Rebirth of "Kakashi" and "Obito"... (Chapter without main characters)

At the end of October in Konoha Year 63, Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes in a hospital bed in Konoha Hospital, staring at the ceiling without saying a word, until the room became bright, at which point the boy slightly turned his head.

The temperature has dropped sharply recently, and the sunshine hours have decreased. As usual, Sasuke had already gotten up early to exercise, but now he simply couldn't muster the energy.

After nearly a month of imprisonment, Sasuke, now fully conscious, felt disappointed in himself, his memory still stuck on the moment Naruto stretched out his right hand.

Sasuke turned his head and stared blankly as the sunlight streamed into the room, until he heard a sound coming from the hallway outside. Then, the boy murmured dejectedly:

"I really can't do anything..."

The comfortable life in Konoha has seemingly corrupted most of the ninjas, while a small number remain hidden in the shadows.

Sasuke was not clear about the specific duties of the Anbu before, but after this experience, he saw another side of "gentle Shisui-nii".

Naïve Sasuke, recalling the moment he displayed his one-tomoe Sharingan, awkwardly covered his head with the blanket.

Recalling his previous actions, Sasuke's mind drifted to the thought of "information delivered right to his doorstep"...

The work of the Anbu is not to run errands for the Hokage, but to secretly assess all the ninjas in the village. Sasuke knew where Shisui worked a long time ago, but he only now understands what his job entails.

What was I doing all those years?

"They don't even know anything about the village..."

Completely engrossed in the "Ninja Game," Sasuke recalled the missions he had experienced after graduation and couldn't help but let out another long breath. He couldn't go on like this anymore; he needed to become a real ninja!

"What would you like for breakfast? You'll be discharged tomorrow!"

"Sasuke, the examination report is approved. Congratulations on awakening your Sharingan. Awakening it at the age of 12 is already very impressive in this era."

Wearing a long, white robe with the word "medicine" printed on the back, Nohara Rin's energetic voice entered the room.

Although Sasuke really wanted to complain about the past month, seeing Rin's slightly protruding belly, he finally sat up and sincerely thanked her:

"Sister Lin, thank you for coming all the way to take care of me."

"After having this child, I haven't been able to go to the lab for the past few months. Everyone did their best for Naruto, but it all happened too fast."

As Rin connected the wires to the device for Sasuke, she quietly explained the workings of the medical department to the boy.

It's simply impossible to break through a completely new technology in just three months.

“I know, Sister Lin.”

"It is said that the Karma seal on Naruto was planted a long time ago, and it was only activated during the Chunin Exams."

“He knew the village could provide him with so many resources, which is why he chose to leave.”

"We, as his friends, can't help him in any way, so why would we complain about the village and the Hokage? It's like father and son..."

As Sasuke finished speaking, he couldn't help but lower his head. The thought of a battle between father and son was twisted, and he couldn't help but recall what his elders in the clan had said.

The Uchiha father and son had a very distorted relationship in their early years. The appearance of the secret medicine alleviated the problems, but the good times didn't last long, and the issue of aptitude became a source of conflict for some families.

The reason the Uchiha clan encourages childbirth is essentially like "playing the lottery." With the aid of drugs, anyone with sufficient aptitude can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The boy was thinking about many things at that moment. Nohara Rin, unaware of Sasuke's thoughts, responded softly with a gentle smile and a "head pat":

"With Naruto gone, the threat from the Otsutsuki clan is over."

"Even if they really do come back, they will most likely go to Kirigakure and the Land of Water. With Xiu there, we don't need to worry."

"We can only pray for Naruto. That kid is very strong and won't give up so easily."

Nohara Rin sighed as she thought about Kushina's recent condition. For a mother, watching her son being devoured was too cruel.

"Yeah, I don't believe Naruto will just disappear like that! He'll definitely get rid of that monster!"

Sasuke whispered words of encouragement to his friend; this was all he could do. This feeling of powerlessness made him increasingly distressed. Seemingly sensing the boy's emotions, Rin tilted her head and chuckled softly.
