Konoha's Infinite Clone

"despair……"

Orochimaru walked out of Namikaze's house and walked a few steps on the street, murmuring this word.

He didn't know what "Naruto" meant by despair, but he always felt that if he did as he said, something extremely terrible would happen.

But he was by his side, and with Konoha's current strength, he might not be able to resist this 'Naruto' who had the remnants of the original Demon King's soul.

but……

At this time, he thought of the memory that had been poured into his mind before, that world where there were only four Hokages and Naruto was accused of being the nine-tailed demon fox. It was so real that Orochimaru wanted to find out what happened there.

.

"Ha... Even if we reach the current realm, it's still not enough."

Orochimaru sighed with a hint of self-deprecation. He successfully performed the blood fusion ceremony and broke a certain boundary, but in today's ninja world, it is not enough.

He successfully completed a certain immortal ninjutsu, but just living is not enough. He still has many techniques that he has not mastered, and there is still a lot of research that he has not completed.

He slowly separated into a wooden clone and asked him to return to his home to disguise himself, while the main body was preparing to go to the Kingdom of Fire again to arrange these things.

Anyway, the only people in Konoha who can see through his wooden clones are Fugaku and Shisui who have kaleidoscopes.

And it was impossible for the two Uchiha tribesmen to unfold the kaleidoscope in front of him, so he was not worried that his wooden clone would be recognized.

"Mingchuan, help me get some juice."

On the vast sea, a small ship, neither big nor small, shuttled through the waves. At this time, the outside world was already dark and everything was quiet. The ninjas on the ship were driving alone and resolutely on the sea, emitting a small amount of light.

Terumi Mei leaned on the stool in the ship's restaurant boredly and muttered.

She was currently carrying out a secret mission in the village, and she was accompanied by only five ninjas, and the six of them had been drifting on the sea for at least two weeks.

After sailing on the same sea for so long, even a strong-willed ninja will feel quite bored, because in this world and this era there are not many activities for entertainment, and ninjas can only repeat the same thing day after day.

Boring life.

A male ninja came over from the other side carrying a plate. He first placed the plate on the table in front of Terumi Mei, then reached out and handed over the glass of juice on it.

He himself took a bite of rice first, and then said vaguely, "Captain, we have been floating in this sea for three or four days, aren't you ready to leave?"

"You didn't just leave when you said you were leaving." Terumi Mei rolled her eyes at him, and then sighed with a look of despair, "How could I go back so willingly if I didn't find what the village asked us to find...

"

As the jounin of the village, she knew very well how bad Kirigakure's situation had become.

Originally, due to the Third Ninja War, the village had already lost many elites, including the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

After that, they lost two Mizukage and two Jinchuuriki in succession, and the trauma they suffered was too great.

Although due to the drastic reduction in strength and changes in the world situation, the village has terminated the blood mist policy, and the faction in power is trying its best to improve the relationship with the major bloodstained families, so that the village has finally retained some strength and will not engage in further civil strife, which may even

It will change the entire political situation of Kirigakure.

Now that there is an undercurrent surging inside the village, Terumi Mei doesn't want to stay in the village, and she also wants to do something for the village as much as possible at this time.

"Oh, I hope I can find it soon. I don't know if what the hybrid named Henkel said is true."

The ninja named Mingchuan also sighed, took two more mouthfuls of rice and drank a large gulp of cold water.

At this time, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, looked at Terumi Mei, and found that the other person suddenly became serious and calm.

"Go outside and have a look."

Terumi Mei placed the remaining half glass of juice on the table, then stood up and walked over quickly.

"What happened?"

She appeared on the deck the next moment, watching the four ninjas gather together as if cheering.

One of the ninja's clothes was already soaked, which was not surprising to Terumi Mei, because every time they started sailing, a ninja would dive into the bottom of the sea to find what they wanted.

"Koichi, what's wrong? Have you found the vampire?" she asked the wet ninja.

"Yes, Captain! I found two stone sculptures underwater! Judging from the appearance, they are the two we are looking for!"

Terumi Mei suddenly became energetic and ordered, "Mingchuan stays, and the others will follow me to the bottom of the sea to fish out the two stone statues!"

The five ninjas shouted "Yes" excitedly, and then jumped from the boat into the sea with Terumi Mei. The five ninjas who were good at water escape roamed easily on the bottom of the sea, and soon came to the bottom of the sea. There were two potholes here.

, and inside, there are two human-shaped sculptures stored.

One of them is about 1.9 meters tall. From his neck, you can still see a scar surrounding his neck.

The other person also has a slender figure, and this person Terumi Mei has seen before.

When she was cleaning the water altar in the Kingdom of Water, she had participated in that battle. Although she only glanced at it from a distance, she still remembered the enemy commander at that time.

Vampire monster!

The corner of Terumi Mei's mouth curled up. She finally found the goal she had been searching for for nearly twenty days.

Dio Brando and the vampire beast!

The entire ninja world, especially the Dio that Konoha was looking for and the vampire beast that the demons were looking for, these two vampires were found together by them!

This was information given by the hybrid named Henkel who approached the Daimyo of the Land of Water in the hope of cooperating with Kirigakure not long after the previous war ended.

The information he gave pointed out that the vampire monster was in an extremely weak state during the war at that time, and in order not to be affected by the aftermath of the war and die, he chose to use some method to escape instantly when his life and death were at stake.

It's just that this kind of separation requires a certain anchor to determine the direction, which means that it takes a long time to arrange the corresponding rituals, and at that time he obviously didn't have time to do this.

This also leads to the fact that teleportation will send him to the place that has the greatest relationship with him, and in the ninja world, the only person who has a relationship with a vampire is another vampire.

And the mixed-race force to which Henkel belongs controls which sea area Dior is sleeping in!

Therefore, the Kingdom of Water sent their team to search for traces of Dio, in order to bring these two seriously injured and extremely weak vampires back to the village and conduct some research.

For this research, the hybrids will also send experimenters to help them, so that once profits can be generated, Kirigakure can recover some of their blood and reduce the trauma caused by the previous war.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Water will not hand over these two vampires, because they have also coveted the abilities of vampires for a long time.

The legendary ability to make people immortal, resurrect the dead, and have the power to control time...

Each one is enough to amplify people’s greed countless times!

Terumi Mei formed a seal in the water, forming a circle of bubbles around the two sculptures. Without her saying anything, two ninjas stepped forward and placed their palms on the bubbles.

The group of them finally completed their mission, Terumi Mei went upstream first, and soon the five of them returned to the boat. Akaikawa and Hikari, who had already been excited, immediately set their sights on the 'bubbles' in the hands of the two ninjas.

"Is this what we're aiming for?"

He suppressed his excitement and asked

Terumi Mei nodded, and then said excitedly, "Mission accomplished! Return!"

Including the ninjas, the ordinary sailors on those ships cheered almost at the same moment.

……………………

By the time Terumi Mei returned to the village, two days had passed. Her team covered the two sculptures with black cloth and brought them to the entrance of an underground laboratory at the edge of the village. After that, she continued on alone.

Ordinary chunin and genin are not qualified to know the purpose of this laboratory.

She also recognized the guard at the door, his name was Ghost Lantern Full Moon. He had white hair and sharp teeth, and had a fluffy bandage wrapped around his neck.

He is a genius and one of the second batch of members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. He is the user of the double-sword Knife. He is also a jounin of Kirigakure. The two of them have had certain exchanges in daily life.

"Is the mission completed?" Seeing her arrival, Man Yue said calmly, "I thought you would come earlier."

"Do you think it's easy to find someone in the vast ocean?" Terumi chuckled. "Even with the general range information, it's quite difficult to sneak into the deep sea to find someone."

"That's not what I meant." Man Yue pointed inside and said with an unchanging expression, "A few days ago, the hybrids had brought a vampire. It was the active fourth generation Raikage. I thought it was a dead thing.

No matter what, it is easier to find than the living ones."

#

A well seemed to appear on Terumi Mei's forehead. She held back her anger and finally said angrily.

"You are saying such irritating things with a flat face, are you aware of it? And who told you that dead things must be easier to catch than living things? Dead things won't move at all, but live things

If they fall into traps and have behavioral logic, they may be much easier to find than the two stone men in my hands!"

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about this." She took a deep breath and sighed, "But those mixed-bloods actually captured the Fourth Raikage, it's really amazing..."

"Let me in, I also want to see the legendary former Raikage who was demonized."

"..." Man Yue was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and opened the iron door without saying anything else.

Terumi Mei glanced at him, then walked in, passing by each room. On the way, a ninja took the two stone sculpture vampires she brought and sent them to who knows where.

She finally walked to the largest door alone, opened it, and the first thing she saw was a huge cylindrical glass barrier. The column occupied one-third of the room, and she walked into a

When she looked at it, she realized that the column also led to the ground and was about six or seven meters high.

It was empty except for a human-shaped stone statue, and 99% of the space was occupied by useless work.

Beside the cylinder, there were numerous precision instruments, and Terumi Mei could not understand what they were used for.

In front of the instrument, there were many people in white coats sitting on chairs controlling everything. Most of them were people Terumi Mei had never seen before. Presumably they were people sent by the mixed race side, and those

The instruments must have been transported by the hybrids. Anyway, Terumi Mei felt that it was unlikely to be a specialty of the ninja world because she had never seen these things herself.

An elite jounin she knew well was talking to a blond and blue-eyed hybrid. When he saw her walking in, he came over and explained to her, "This is Director Carl, an expert sent by the hybrid."

, responsible for helping us conduct various experiments on vampires."

"Haha, I heard that you have successfully brought the vampire monster and Dio over. With these two extra experimental materials, we may be able to gain certain benefits from them soon."

Terumi Mei nodded noncommittally. She was actually quite wary of the mixed-race force represented by Henkel.

Because she didn't really believe that there was a free lunch in this world, the Kingdom of Water received such a gift from the other party without paying much, which made her feel a little uneasy in her heart.

However, she believed that the big shots in the village should know about this kind of thing. After all, the hybrids built the laboratory in Kirigakure Village and placed the experimental subjects outside, wasn't it just to transfer the risk to them?

Even if something goes wrong and some disaster occurs when studying vampires, Kirigakure Village will be the first to be hit.

But since the higher-ups didn't say anything and seemed to have acquiesced in all this, then she, a jounin, had nothing to say.

"The experiment will start soon, and we are also very interested in vampires." Karl, the experiment leader sent by the hybrid species, pushed up his glasses and said

At this time, a door was opened at the bottom of the cylinder. Four ninjas carried the two sculptures into the barrier and placed the three vampires side by side in a row.

Among them, Dio is on the far left, the Fourth Raikage is in the center, and the vampire monster is on the far right.

After arranging the inside, the four ninjas exited one after another and locked the door completely.

Karl came to an instrument and gently clicked a button. A showerhead suddenly appeared on the top of the cylinder. A gray liquid was sprayed out of the showerhead, and soon fell to the ground.

The liquid squirmed on the ground, and eventually, after increasing in amount, it combined with the three stone sculptures, and quickly condensed and dried.

In the end, it formed a picture scroll like a mural, in which the three vampires came to life...
