Konoha's Infinite Clone

eternal life……

Shikamaru is still young, but he is talented and intelligent and can vaguely understand what immortality means to those aging people in power.

What a hassle...

Why did he get involved in such an incident?

Shikamaru sighed in his heart

Even if he thinks about it now, he knows that he must be involved in some particularly troublesome incident.

He thought about it for a moment, then held his breath, and wanted to form seals and use ninjutsu. However, at the moment when he mobilized chakra, he suddenly felt a sharp pain!

Henkel on the other side saw this scene and said in the same calm tone as before

"Save your strength. We are all cursed. Once we mobilize our energy, we will suffer backlash."

This is a kind of warlock improved from the Fire Release and Tenlao. Based on the cards in Naoto's hands today, it can limit not only chakra, but also the spirit of speech, spiritual pressure, magic power, qi and other energy to a certain extent.

After hearing Henkel's words, Shikamaru was not too disappointed. After all, there were no guards here, and there were no other means of protection. What else could it be called a prison?

Just now I was just trying it out, or trying it out with a fluke mentality.

He tested the material strength of the prison again and found that it should be made of a special alloy. Even a ninjutsu ninja who specializes in taijutsu would not be able to destroy it.

After realizing all this, he finally gave up on escaping directly. Instead, he sat underground like Henkel, leaning his back against the wall, and continued the conversation.

"If Dio imprisoned you here because Mr. Henkel rejected him, what about us? We are just ordinary ninjas in Konoha."

Of course, it would not be appropriate to say that they are completely ordinary ninjas. At least they are children of a big family, and they also have secret techniques passed down from family to family.

However, Dio already owns the Kingdom of Water, so why bother to make Konoha pay attention to the Kingdom of Water because of the three of him?

Shikamaru believed that the news of the disappearance of himself and others would soon be known to Konoha, and that they disappeared off the coastline of the Kingdom of Water, which would undoubtedly bring diplomatic pressure to the Kingdom of Water.

"Maybe it's because of some 'characteristics'."

There was also a hint of uncertainty in Henkel's words.

"Before I was imprisoned in prison, I had vaguely noticed that Dio seemed to be studying alchemy, especially in the field of human body refining."

"Refined from human body?"

Shikamaru was shocked. He didn't know what alchemy was, but just from the four words "human body refining", he knew that Dio was not studying anything good.

"Well, we mixed-bloods also have a branch of alchemy, but Dio looks at the alchemy method that is more ancient and closer to the truth."

"Strange..." Shikamaru rubbed his chin, thinking about Konoha's record of Dio's life, and said with some confusion.

"According to records, Dio is just an ordinary person who got the stone ghost face more than ten years ago. Where did he get the alchemy that is older than the mixed race?"

Modern history is always more detailed than ancient history, and it is also a history that has affected the world in recent years. Konoha's records of Dio, Demons, and Aizen are very detailed. Every ninja must understand them in detail since they are in the ninja school.

Therefore, although he had never met Dio, Shikamaru still knew something about him.

"It is indeed very strange, because we were very careful when studying Dio and tried to let him sleep forever, but one day he still woke up, and he woke up very suddenly..."

There was something strange in Henkel's words. Shikamaru frowned after hearing this. After a few minutes, he suddenly relaxed his brows and said in surprise.

"Is there someone else secretly helping Dio?!"

………………

It was still the dark room, this time Terumi Mei walked in.

As a Mizukage, she comes here much more often than Zabuza.

But no matter how many times she came, she felt that this room was really not a place for people to live.

This place is filled with darkness, evil, chaos, and violence...

She walked outside the door and pushed it open gently, and sure enough she found Dio still sitting at the table, reading a book.

Dior was almost always like this when he came several times. He didn't know what he was looking at, and what was it that attracted Dior so much.

As a Mizukage, she would certainly not be like Zabuza. Instead, she suppressed her inner uneasiness and walked forward and asked directly.

"Three ninjas from Konoha disappeared? It must have been you, right?"

Dior still didn't turn around or look back, he just continued to read the book and nodded casually.

"There's no need for you, the dignified Mizukage, to ask about such a trivial matter in person, right?"

His voice was casual, and it didn't change at all because the person who came was stronger than Zabuza and had a higher status.

Terumi Mei didn't mind, she just laughed slightly mockingly, and then said

"A trivial matter? If you think provoking a war between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire is a trivial matter... And the mighty Mizukage, hey, when did you take the Mizukage seriously?"

"It's just a war between two countries..." Dio sneered.

"too low……"

"What?" Mei Terumi couldn't believe her ears. He just said...

"Too low!" Dio's voice returned to a low tone. He stood up and said slowly

"Human beings are such creatures, and their vision is only this. Even if they know that the outside world is a vast and boundless universe, even if they know that infinite dimensions and countless parallel spaces exist, they can still only focus on the land beneath their feet in a ridiculous struggle for hegemony.

."

His words did not hide his malice and ridicule towards human beings. He turned around, and his red pupils contained an unfathomable darkness.

"Because humans are very realistic creatures, we will only make progress down-to-earth, instead of dreaming of reaching the sky in one step." Terumi Mei accepted Dio's taunt, but mocked him back with her own words.

However, Dior just smiled and said

"Reach to heaven in one step? This sentence is very suitable for me. I, Dior, want to ascend to heaven, no, I want to surpass heaven and surpass destiny!"

"Beyond Heaven and Destiny?"

Terumi Mei frowned slightly, and she subconsciously asked, "What exactly do you want to do?!"

Dio slowly walked behind her and said at the same time

"This world is a world where the future is locked. The fate of everything is destined, and the results of everything have been determined from the beginning."

"And I, Dio, do not accept such a fate! Because of this, I want to transcend fate, transcend heaven, and reach the realm beyond the gods!"

"madman……"

Terumi Mei doesn't know what destiny is in heaven, but she does know that the last man who wanted to be a 'transcendent' and transcended everything was named Aizen...

"Human beings always use their own concepts to judge others. When applied to animals, this is the truth. But if you want to use your thinking logic to inform us, it is a fallacy."

Suddenly, Dio was sitting on the chair again, but the book in his hand had been changed to another.

So fast!

This was Terumi Mei's first reaction. With her strength, she was completely unable to react to Dio's speed. If he had wanted to attack her just now...

Terumi Mei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She knew that Dio was very strong, but as time passed, she felt that Dio would become stronger!

monster!

This can only be used to describe it!

Terumi Mei expelled Dio's words from her heart, and was about to return the topic to the original question, but suddenly she caught sight of the name of the book in Dio's hand.

In fact, she had always been interested in what book Dior was reading, but she had never seen it before, but now she saw the name accidentally.

‘Seven Deadly Sins Refining Method’

This is the name of the book

"Seven deadly sins?"

She read these three words subconsciously. She knew the seven deadly sins. They seemed to be the seven original sins prescribed for people in a religion...?

But can it still be extracted?

"Pride, lust, gluttony, envy, greed, sloth and anger...these are the seven deadly sins."

After hearing the words "Seven Deadly Sins", Dio turned his back to Mei Terumi, crossed his legs and said calmly

"You want to ask me why I wanted to catch those three brats, right?"

Terumi Mei asked tentatively, "Is it related to the Seven Deadly Sins?"

"Those three little ghosts correspond to laziness, gluttony and jealousy respectively. They are perfect bodies. Coupled with Henkel's greed, I can combine them to create the most perfect artificial human."

"Cyborg……"

Terumi Mei was dumbfounded

………………

"ripple……"

At night, Naruto leaned on the railing of the boat, looking at the waning moon in the sky, still thinking about Jiraiya's teachings during the day.

To deal with vampires, ripples are an indispensable force, and the longer Jiraiya practices ripples, he also faintly realizes that ripples can not only deal with vampires.

The longevity and longevity, the spring punch previously made with ripples in the Land of Waves, and some ripple usages are far from the true limit of ripples.

Jiraiya has been practicing ripples for more than ten years. After the war in the Land of Waves, he found that his ripples had reached a certain limit.

And now, he has even touched a higher level of power——

Similar to the ability to predict!

Somewhat similar to Sasuke's Haki of seeing and hearing, Jiraiya can sometimes even see the future during battles!

But at this moment, he was teaching everyone the Ripple cultivation method just to help them deal with Dio better.

At this moment, Naruto was thinking not only about the ripples, but also about what Shiro said to him.

"You actually... don't know how to fight at all, right?"

"You have great power, but you only know the simplest attack methods."

"All your battles so far have been just about overwhelming others. You can win by releasing chakra randomly. But Namikaze Naruto, have you ever thought about your own fighting skills? Have you ever thought about facing someone of the same level?

How should you fight when you are an opponent?"

Naruto lowered his head, stretched out his hands, looked at the lines in his hands, felt the coolness blowing through the cracks in his hands, looked at the ubiquitous wind between heaven and earth, and listened to the turbulent flow of the sea...

yes……

In all the battles you have fought so far, have you ever had a close match?

Once defeated, he will use a higher level of strength to crush the opponent, and even respond to the opponent with numb face...

"I... I'm actually very weak..."

Naruto slowly clenched his hands

"I want to become stronger... truly stronger, instead of wallowing in the false strength brought by Menma!"

The corner of his mouth curled up, and he stretched one hand to the sky, sweeping away all the negative emotions in his mind!

"Anbu ninja of the land of water, thank you!"

If it weren't for you, I might have used Menma's power to show off my power all my life, right?

Indulge in illusion all your life, and then wait for the fourth transaction to come!

At this moment, he suddenly felt the wind, not the breeze like before, but a violent and chaotic hurricane!

Naruto looked around with wide eyes, but no matter how he looked, everything was calm and calm, with no trace of the storm at all.

But when he sensed it carefully, there was indeed a violent wind around him. He had some impression of this feeling. He had a similar feeling after he had just obtained the dragon's blood and jumped into the dragon gate, but it was not as strong as it is now!

He tried to stir up a hint of the storm, and the next moment something incredible happened. A huge whirlwind suddenly appeared on the distant sea. The whirlwind opened its mouth like a circling dragon, and formed in the blink of an eye.

A huge tornado sweeping across the world!

The tornado was so violent that even a few kilometers away, Naruto could feel a strong wind coming, and the whole ship was shaking crazily in the sea!

"What happened?!"

Jiraiya, Kakashi and Sasuke ran over from other directions. They were now on the deck looking at the strong wind in the distance, their eyes full of vigilance.

Is another enemy with the power of a substitute coming?!

They are ready to fight.

But on the other side, Naruto looked at his hands in disbelief, almost unable to believe that he had done all this.

He has not unlocked the first layer of seal at all, and even if he has unlocked it, can he achieve this level of natural disaster?!

But now, I just moved my fingers!

Suddenly, everything stopped, the wind stopped spinning, the sea stopped boiling, and everyone stopped being surprised.

Seeing this scene, Naruto knew who was coming just by thinking about it with his butt.

"Menma, long time no see."

It's true that they haven't seen each other for a long time. If we go by the frequency of their previous meetings,

However, this time, Menma did not have the playful smile like before, but a serious look on his face.

He looked at the still and stagnant storm in the distance and said softly

"It's really amazing... Bengyu actually combined your awakened Perfection Technique with the Word Spirit to form an even more powerful Eye of the Storm."

"Bengyu?"

Hearing this unfamiliar word, Naruto thought of how he seemed to have been fed something by that strange hooded man in the forest of death...

That thing is...Bengyu?

The textbooks of the ninja world do not introduce everything. For example, when teaching about the Aizen incident, there will be no such relatively taboo knowledge as the Hogyoku, the Soul King's Palace, the Zero Squadron, and the Soul King.

"Brother, you are so lucky. Even ambitious people like Sosuke Aizen and Kaz chose to help you. If others knew about it, they would be jealous to death, right?"

Menma turned around and chuckled softly
