Konoha: Naruto From a Wolf

Chapter 31 After the War (2)

Incomplete and dilapidated, Konoha today is full of the smell of gunpowder smoke after the war.

A woman's cry, a man's soft comfort, a child's ignorance...

Ji Xiao looked at this scene in a daze, was this still the Konoha they knew?

"This is war." Kakashi said calmly. This calmness is a sign of being extremely disgusted with something and no longer having any emotions.

Shikamaru and the others looked thoughtful, as if they had a deeper understanding of 'war', a term they had longed for.

Planning strategies, winning thousands of miles, the weight of iron blood and meritorious deeds, seems to make them ignore that death and separation are the main themes of war.

Watching Kakashi taking several people to the hospital for treatment of injuries, Naruto slowly walked towards his residence.

Perhaps because of his status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the relief room arranged for him by the village was not in a superior location, but it was still relatively close to the center of the village.

Therefore, this war did not affect his place of residence.

Shadow clone Naruto gently opened the door, looked at the main body in the room, and asked:

"did you find it?"

Naruto shook his head slightly. Although the location Yakushi Kabuto mentioned contained a lot of important information, it did not contain what he wanted.

"Be prepared, the pressure may be a bit high this time." The shadow clone said softly.

Although the effect of shadow clones is powerful, the side effects are not small. As the number of clones increases, the burden on the main body also increases.

Fortunately, he was a Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, otherwise his body would have collapsed long ago if he used shadow clones so frequently.

"Well..." Naruto's face turned pale. Although he had expected the pressure projected by the clone this time, to be honest, it was still a bit beyond his expectation.

Normally, the chakra a shadow clone bears will not exceed its original body, so no matter how it is created, the burden it places on the original body will be within the tolerance range.

But this time, due to the chakra support of the Nine Lamas, the chakra consumed by the shadow clone doubled without anyone knowing, and the pressure generated naturally increased with it.

[Fortunately, my body didn’t do anything important. 】

For a long time, Naruto muttered secretly in his heart.

His abnormal physical condition was almost unbearable. One can imagine how much pressure the shadow clone created this time.

But it's not incomprehensible. He ran all the way, fought several times, exhausted his chakra several times, and in the end, he rubbed a tailed beast jade under the guidance of the Nine Lamas.

His shadow clone did not dissipate directly, so it can be said to be full of resilience.

In the mental space, Naruto complained to the big guy in front of him:

"Nine Lamas, you're having a bit of fun this time."

"Your physical fitness is too poor. After receiving so much power from me, you can no longer bear it." The Nine Lamas looked at the Jinchūriki under him with a look of disgust on his face.

He had never encountered a jinchūriki with such poor physical fitness.

Whether it was the first-generation Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Mito or the second-generation Uzumaki Yukina, that one was not a pervert who forced him into a sealed space and forcibly extracted his chakra.

This third generation Jinchuuriki is directly the Waterloo.

He has filtered the negative emotions in his chakra. Compared to the previous two generations of Jinchuuriki, the pressure is unprecedentedly low. How can he bear such a small amount of strength? How can he hold up the fox's head in front of other tailed beasts?

"...I know, I will increase the amount of physical training in the next time." Naruto couldn't help but cover his face.

It's really his fault.

But what can he do? This body is only twelve years old, and he doesn't dare to make an overly heavy training plan to avoid affecting the development of this body.

Give him another three years, no, two years, and he will be sure to carry the weight of the Nine-Tails chakra.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. As my Jinchuuriki and a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, can you have some confidence in your body's ability to withstand it?" Nine Lamas didn't know what to say.

Regardless of his identity as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki or his identity as a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, that cannot support Naruto's overload training.

"A descendant of the Uzumaki clan?" Naruto was stunned. He was naturally familiar with Uzumaki. After all, it was his surname.

But this was the first time he heard that his surname was a common surname.

"Your father is the Fourth Hokage after all. As the wife of the Fourth Hokage, how can your mother be mediocre?" Nine Lamas said.

"...Really." Naruto nodded slightly.

"By the way, can you communicate with my shadow clone remotely?" Naruto asked, remembering the help of the Nine Lamas during the battle with the same tail.

"Didn't I tell your shadow clone?" Jiulama snorted, "This is called Ninja Sect."

"Ninjutsu?"

"When the old man of Six Paths passed away, he distributed his chakra to the world. His original intention was to use chakra as a medium to promote mutual understanding, mutual friendship and peace between people..." Nine Lamas explained.

"Six Paths Sage?" Naruto asked in surprise.

He is familiar with this Immortal of Six Paths. He is a frequent visitor to mythological stories in this world. He is named in nine out of ten mythological novels.

"Yes." Kyuubi gently nodded the fox's head.

"When Old Man Six Paths was alive, and even for a long time to come, the ninja sect was the mainstream."

"It's just that as time goes by, the trust between people becomes more and more fragile, until one day, you humans take the initiative to cut off this connection."

Naruto nodded slightly. One of the two major components of chakra is spiritual energy. If used as a communication medium, it may be better than language.

He would not judge the practice of actively cutting off the direct connection with chakra, that is, giving up the ninja sect.

Looking back at the past from the era he lived in, he might feel that it was a mistake to abandon the ninja sect.

But he can only look at this unsolved problem. Behind this problem are thousands of problems that have been solved by giving up the ninja sect.

Land, food, drinking water, minerals...

The limited nature of resources, driven by the infinite desires of human beings, is destined to cause problems of one kind or another.

Couldn't the humans of that era see the benefits of Ninja Sect?

How can it be.

Wisdom may improve over time, but IQ will not.

Giving up on the ninja sect may be the final choice made due to one or another problem.

[In this case, Jiu Lama is fully capable of serving as a signal relay station. 】

Naruto looked at the big fox in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Low latency, high-efficiency information transmission, and the fact that Jiulama can also serve as a mobile power bank for his shadow clone give him a lot of room for maneuver.

"What's your look?" Nine Lama's fox fur twitched. This look made the fox unhappy.

"Oh! Nothing, nothing..."

Naruto said with a smile.
