Konoha's Infinite Clone

Chapter 23 The Transformed Naruto and Freedom

The sea is quiet and deep. Legend has it that the most primitive life is nurtured in the dark seabed, which is the destination of all living beings.

What is around you when you are deep in the ocean?

The eternal darkness...

This is a territory where even the sun cannot shine its light. In such silence, Naruto continues to fall deeper and deeper.

No air, no light, no life...

This ever-dwindling distance is exactly the gap between him and the strong, and this ever-deepening darkness is the darkness of despair in front of the Demon King!

"Are you just giving up?"

I don't know how long it took, a century after the poisoning, Naruto heard something vaguely...

He opened his eyes, and in this dark and silent world, there seemed to be something standing in front of him.

"I can't help it...I can't beat that guy..."

Naruto's whole body was relaxed as never before. Since the Kingdom of Waves, he has been driven by a kind of pressure, has been pursuing becoming stronger, and has been experiencing life and death...

And now, he finally felt the long-lost peace, as if he had returned to his mother's arms...

Perhaps it would be a good idea to give your body to the Holy Lord...

At least, he has the power and enough strength to refuse Menma's fourth deal, so that the entire universe can be preserved.

After hearing his words, the inexplicable voice did not persuade him anymore, but suddenly changed the topic and said

"Do you know where this place is?"

Before Naruto could speak, he had already answered

"This is the deepest part of a life's soul, which can also be called the sea of ​​soul. If your consciousness sinks into it, the surface consciousness will be controlled by the Holy Lord. By then, everything about you will be gone..."

"……I……"

Naruto felt a surge of uneasiness in his heart, but then he was unable to dispel it. He said as if he was giving up on himself.

"I am no match for the Holy Lord, he is too strong..."

The voice continued, "You and he have the same chakra, the same body, and you have the same potential. You will not lose to him. After all, this is your body."

"but I……"

Naruto felt a little lonely. He knew what the voice said, but his actual performance was far inferior.

I thought that after learning that chakra mobilization method, I could be on par with the Holy Master, but when I actually fought, I discovered that there was a huge difference between them.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of someone clapping their hands again. The entire dark sea suddenly became brighter, and the figure in front of him finally appeared.

Aizen Sosuke!

Sure enough it was him!

Apart from Menma, this man with great supernatural powers was the only one who could appear by his side anytime and anywhere.

What exactly does he want to do?

Isn't it him who retains and awakens the Holy Lord's consciousness?

And with this man's mentality, it is safest to let a being like the Holy Lord, who has enough strength to resist the temptation of Menma, occupy his body!

But why did he say these words to himself?

Before Naruto could ask, he saw that the entire bright sea suddenly turned into a flat surface like a screen.

The next moment, the plane quickly expanded into a facade, and he and Aizen came to another world.

"This is...the outside world?"

Naruto saw the scene before. It was still the ship and the sea, but this time it was not an illusory space.

Because Jiraiya and others who appeared this time have their own consciousness!

Did he just return to reality?!

In Naruto's sight, Kakashi looked at the sea in the distance, his voice solemn.

"Strange, how come the storm in the distance suddenly appears and disappears?"

When time stood still, the Holy Lord dealt with the storm, so in the eyes of a few people, the storm suddenly disappeared.

Because they cannot perceive what happens when time is still!

"Is it the enemy's fault?"

Jiraiya touched his chin and said strangely

"But why create a storm and then dissipate it?"

Warn them?

"Um, this..."

Naruto on the side smiled awkwardly and was about to explain when he suddenly heard a familiar voice again!

"I did it!"

Naruto turned his eyes with difficulty and found that the other 'himself' had his hands drooped, his originally lowered head slowly raised, his pupils turned blood red, and the corners of his mouth raised in an exaggerated arc!

boom!

Extremely terrifying, evil, and dark chakra erupted from his body. The mere emergence of that chakra crushed the entire hull, and even the sea boiled!

The suffocating power of darkness spread endlessly, eventually forming an illusory face with two tentacles on its head in the sky!

That’s Piccolo’s reflected shadow!

That is the truth hidden deep in Naruto's soul!

"Holy Lord..."

Kakashi and Jiraiya, who had seen Piccolo, trembled involuntarily. They never expected to see that demon in Naruto again!

"How is it possible! How can the Holy Lord reappear?"

Jiraiya clenched his fists. He had always known that there was something different about Naruto, that there was terrifying power in his body, and that his body was controlled by a certain entity during the Wave Country incident...

But whether it was him, Hiei, Kushina, Orochimaru, Tsunade...

After their judgment, they all came to the unanimous conclusion that the thing inside Naruto was not the Holy Lord at all!

But now, how could it be...

"This is...the Holy Lord..."

Sasuke's eyes were fixed on Naruto, and his whole body was shaking. His mind was in a state of turmoil. Under this pressure, he thought of himself when he faced Norton and Tachibana Masamune, who had become the White King.

You are like a duckweed in the sea, you will be wiped out by just one wave.

However, now that I have become so powerful, do I still feel that way?!

I thought I had been reborn, but now I look like this... What's the difference from before?!

He activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, and stared at Naruto, who looked like a demon god, with the ultimate Uchiha eye technique. He couldn't believe that he who had been moving forward with him before would suddenly become so powerful.

Even though he had already seen it once in the Country of Waves...

"It's really...unsatisfactory..."

He gritted his teeth and said

And 'Naruto', who was staring at him, let out an exaggerated laugh and said with a loud laugh.

"Compared to the wizard's resistance in the past, this seal is even more unforgettable to me! The little devils of the ninja world..."

A huge fireball appeared on one of his fingers. After a second, the fireball expanded into an energy sphere like a small sun!

"Use this to welcome my return!"

That fireball not only resembles the sun in appearance, but its nature is genuine fusion. Such a fireball is enough to burn a city to ashes.

At this moment, the Holy Master easily controlled the fireball, and then with his fingers slightly bent, the fireball crashed downwards and rushed towards the ninja.

"Block him!"

Jiraiya looked solemn, and instantly entered the sage mode. At the same time, azure chakra appeared on one hand, and under the control, a new Rasengan was formed through a combination of shape change and property change.

"Senfa·Water Release·Uzumaki Rasengan!"

Water Release is good at defense, and the Rasengan formed by the changes in the properties of water chakra at this moment is completely different from other Rasengan.

The chakra ball in his hand formed a huge water shield in front of him. On the shield was a huge vortex. The vortex did not rotate inwards, but rotated outwards, constantly leaking external force and energy!

boom!

The fireball hit the water shield, and thousands of tons of water evaporated in an instant. However, under the influence of the vortex, the fireball's energy was also constantly lost.

Seizing this opportunity, Kakashi formed a seal with his hands and shouted

"Thunder Release·Thunder Spear!"

His move was modeled after the original Arrancar's four-blade Ulquiorra's Thunder Spear, and it is currently his strongest attack move besides Kamui.

He can no longer use Kamui frequently. He has not fused the wood escape cells. In the previous battles, his Mangekyō Sharingan has consumed too much power. If he uses it a few more times, he will

Completely lose this eye.

These are the eyes Obito gave him, and he must not lose them just like that!

Sasuke also used the Ninjutsu that combined the Burning Fruit and Thunder Release to cooperate with Kakashi and Jiraiya to resist the blow. With the cooperation of the three of them, they finally blocked the little sun...

And under the stalemate between the two, Naruto on the side finally realized what happened——

The Holy Lord gained control of his body, and the first thing he did was to take revenge on the ninja who sealed him!

Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Sasuke will all die in his hands!

"no!"

He growled, then he looked at Aizen and begged

"I want to continue fighting with the Holy Lord! Please send me up!"

Aizen chuckled, maybe everything that happened now was as expected by this man?

"I won't help you. How far you can go depends entirely on your own strength... Go ahead, leave the depths of the sea of ​​spiritual life, and rely on your own strength to defeat the Holy Lord."

The next moment, Aizen's figure finally disappeared, and this man who had always been very mysterious finally lost his sense of existence.

"Relying on your own strength..."

Naruto murmured twice, and he watched everything around him change into a deep sea again, and the abyss-like darkness returned again, but this time there was no more haze in Naruto's heart.

"Thank you, Aizen...I think I know what to do!"

His eyes became firmer than ever before, and the next moment, endless power emerged from his body!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

He used all his strength, and in the sound of his vomiting and roaring, an even louder roar appeared. Hundreds of cubic kilometers of sea area were rioting. The sea was boiling, countless water columns rose, and a crack suddenly appeared on the sea surface.

!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

The ninja looked determined and was dragged up by the strong wind. After reaching the sea, he saw another version of himself standing quietly on the sea. That was the Holy Lord who occupied his surface consciousness!

"Holy Lord!!!"

He roared, and this time various powers such as fire, water, thunder, and wind appeared around him. He showed almost the same ability as Menma!

Until today, he finally discovered the power of the eight demonic energies in his body!

The eight demonic energies merged with each other, Naruto opened his hand, and a huge Rasengan appeared to fully contain the power of the eight demonic energies!

"This move is called the Power of Nature Rasengan!"

Naruto laughed happily, and threw out the Rasengan formed by the condensed eight demon energy with one blow, and it exploded on the sea with a loud bang!

The Holy Lord originally focused his consciousness on the outside world, but he did not expect that Naruto's counterattack would occur within his mind. This made him unable to react to Naruto's full blow!

boom!

The huge Rasengan hit the sea, and the endless sea exploded like crazy. The strong wind was attracted by the ruined world. In an instant, the world seemed to be coming to an end!

However, the Holy Lord did not disappear like this!

"You little brat!!!"

In the thick fog of the explosion and the rising sea pillars, the Holy Lord broke through the barriers with a burning body and looked at Naruto crazily.

However, before he could react, Naruto appeared beside him. In front of the Demon King, the boy punched with all his strength...

This punch concentrated everything he had. He put his will, body, relatives and friends in the outside world, and everything else on this punch!

boom!

The strong wind roared, and the punch hit the Holy Lord's chest hard, and the energy escaping from his body cracked the clouds at an unknown height!

The Holy Master looked at the sky in disbelief and at Naruto in front of him. Naruto's blow made a hole in his chest. The ant he had despised not long ago had now become a life-threatening Yama!

"I...I am not willing..."

He spit out a mouthful of blood, and part of it splashed on Naruto's face. The latter's expression remained unchanged and he whispered

"This is instinct...Punch with instinct, get rid of rational thinking time, pure instinct is even enough to make the body react automatically..."

he said softly

"Thank you. Without you, I might not have obtained this power..."

"Kid... you can actually do this..."

Blood continued to flow out, but the Holy Lord suddenly made a real smile

"You are worthy of being the child of destiny! Just relying on my words, you can actually reach the level of true 'freedom and freedom'! Hahahaha... I never thought that my Holy Lord would actually see the 'freedom at the end' from a human being in the end."

Yi Gong'..."

Is Zi Zi Ji Gong the name of a move that uses pure physical instinct to fight?

Naruto didn't know it clearly, but he knew that this move he had discovered in the dark indeed had unimaginable power!

"Well...human beings are also a race with many advantages."

Naruto responded, he said in a low tone

"Goodbye, Holy Lord..."

The Holy Lord is different from him. The Holy Lord is only a part of the remaining consciousness retained by Aizen, so as long as he fails once, he will disappear and continue to turn into Menma.

And he is the original owner of the body, so even if he fails, he can still enter the sea of ​​soul...

The 'self' in front of him became like wind and turned into sand. After a breeze, the Holy Lord whose heart was penetrated by him completely disappeared into this world...

"From now on, this state is called the mode of freedom and perfection..."

Originally, he wanted to use the style of the ninja world and call it the Holy Master Chakra Mode, but since the Holy Master himself explained the Self-Contained Ultimate Intention Kung Fu at the end, then he would call it the Self-Contained Ultimate Intention Gong...

This can also be regarded as the last memorial to the Holy Lord...

Looking at the empty spiritual world, Naruto maintained the posture of killing the Holy Lord for a long time. He didn't know how long it took before he finally let out a long sigh.

"it is finally over……"
