"Shut up." Xirihong, who only had her head, neck and shoulders left, shouted loudly.

"The truth?" Kurama Yakumo repeated hesitantly.

At this time, Kurama Yakumo was shocked. The oil shovel in his palm unconsciously slipped to the floor. He leaned forward, held his head in his hands, and whispered to himself with a painful look on his face, "What is the truth?"

"Teacher, what exactly is Yakumo..." Uzumaki Naruto asked softly after seeing Kurama Yakumo's unexpected change.

"Not good." Yuri Kurenai muttered to herself in a low voice with a slightly changed expression, and then shouted to Kurama Yakumo, "Yakumo, you don't know, you don't know anything."

Just as Yuri Kurenai finished speaking, one of the several oil painting panels that had been floating in Kurama Yakumo's illusion space suddenly fell to the floor, and a layer of black oil slowly flowed from the surface of the oil painting. Come down.

"What, there is something deep in my heart, but what is it? I can't remember." Looking at the black oil flowing to the ground, Kurama Yakumo slapped his head with one hand and said with a painful expression.

"How could it be like this?" Yuri Kurenai looked at the oil on the ground and said softly, then turned to Uzumaki Naruto who was standing aside and ordered, "Naruto, stop that quickly."

But before Uzumaki Naruto could make a move, two arms made of something with the same nature as black oil suddenly protruded from the illusion space and grabbed Uzumaki Naruto.

"What the hell is this guy?" Uzumaki Naruto said as he struggled desperately, "Damn it, let me go."

At this time. The oil painting that fell on the floor finally gradually revealed another picture underneath the black paint, a painting of a house burning violently in a raging fire.

When Kurama Yakumo saw this scene, his pupils shrank and he stayed there for an instant.

"I remembered." After a moment, Kurama Yakumo came back to his senses and was trembling all over. He looked at his palms in disbelief and said softly, "Yes, I, the me in my heart used genjutsu to kill me." 's parents."

"No, Yakumo, that's not you! That monster can't be compared with you." Xirihong heard the words and denied it hastily.

"No, it's the same." Kurama Yakumo said with a look of despair, "Because it lives in my heart."

"Thank you. Kurenai-sensei, farewell forever." Kurama Yakumo said, picking up the oil shovel from the ground, stabbing himself in the chest with tears streaming down his face.

"Stop," Uzumaki Naruto shouted.

"Yakumo." Kurenai Yuri shouted with pain on her face.

But just when Kurenai Yuri couldn't bear to watch Kurama Yakumo commit suicide, an arm suddenly grabbed Kurama Yakumo's wrist holding an oil shovel, and then an oil painting image of Kurama Yakumo appeared on the oil painting board in front of Kurama Yakumo himself. on, and that arm is exactly the arm of Kurama Yakumo in the oil painting.

"Why, why do you have to kill yourself?" Kurama Yakumo in the picture used his palms to remove the oil shovel held by Kurama Yakumo himself, and then said with an angry tone, "You must perish because you are carrying a heavy burden. Memories. Those who want to completely erase me."

"Who are you?" Kurama Yakumo asked subconsciously.

"Grown in the gaps in your heart, nurtured by your heart. My name is." Kurama Yakumo, also known as Ido, said in the picture.

Then Idu's appearance changed, his entire face became like a demon, with dark skin and double horns on his head, emerging from the oil painting board in front of Kurama Yakumo.

"Is this the inner demon? It's completely different from what Taoism records. It feels more like the Japanese obsessed demon..." Seeing Idu's image, Ito Cheng, who was hiding in the darkness, thought to himself, "There is also this demon." Qi, it’s absolutely correct to say it’s a monster.”

"What is this?" Uzumaki Naruto asked subconsciously.

"That's..." Uzumaki Naruto asked. Yuri Kurenai immediately spoke and explained the characteristics of Idu to Uzumaki Naruto. Finally, Xi Rihong said firmly, "Although this demonic energy is more powerful than that time, we must prevent it from coming to this world even if we die together."

Hearing Yuri Kurenai's words, Uzumaki Naruto immediately burst out, stabbed a kunai on the black paint arm that grabbed it, and broke free from the black paint arm. Then rushed towards Idu.

It's just that Idu, a monster that exists in Kurama Yakumo's heart, would be difficult for others to hurt if she hadn't done it herself, let alone an illusion idiot like Uzumaki Naruto. For a guy who doesn't know much about ninjutsu, it's just like delivering food.

"Yakumo, you are the only one who can defeat it now." Yuri Kurenai, who saw Uzumaki Naruto in danger, said loudly to Kurama Yakumo, who was trembling all over and falling into self-blame, "Listen to me, Yakumo, everyone is parasitic in their hearts. There is a monster with bared teeth and claws. It usually lives deep in people's hearts, but sometimes appears suddenly. The power of the monster that appears can exert unimaginable power that has nothing to do with one's own consciousness, and can also inadvertently hurt people around it. However, , if you can control that monster and use your own power to limit it, it will become a very powerful force and contribute to realizing your dream!"

"Quick, fight, you have to kill the monster you have created in your heart!" Xi Rihong said loudly.

"But." Kurama Yakumo said hesitantly.

"Yakumo, only you can do this." Yuri Hong emphasized again.

At this time, Idu was preparing to kill Uzumaki Naruto. Just when he was about to succeed, Kurama Yakumo finally made up his mind, formed mudra with his hands, picked up the oil shovel from the ground, quickly came to Idu, and shoveled the oil The tip pierced into the center of Idu's forehead.

"Why, I did this for you." Idu said in an unbelievable tone as he stepped back.

Then Idu roared, completely turning into a ball of black energy and dissipating in the illusion space. Then the panting Kurama Yakumo formed seals with his hands again, bringing Yuri Kurenai back to consciousness, and fainted in her arms.

"I'm going out too." Seeing this, Ito Cheng, who knew that the illusion space was about to dissipate, slowly blended into the floor. Then he appeared in other rooms of Satomi Villa and rushed back to Kurama Yakumo's bedroom.

"Leave her to me." Ito Cheng, who returned to the room again, walked to Yuri Kurenai, leaned over and picked up Kurama Yakumo in her arms.

"Yes." Yuri Kurenai responded softly, released her arms around Kurama Yakumo, stood up from the ground, and then stood with the students of Class 8 with a smile on her face to communicate.

…

"Kuren, what do you think we adopt Yakumo?" On the way back, Ito, who was carrying Kurama Yakumo on his back, asked Yuri Kurenai who was walking beside him.

"Eh?" Xirihong glanced at Ito Cheng in surprise, then withdrew her gaze, looked at Kurama Qunyun who was being carried by Mike Kay in front and said, "I have no problem. But the Kurama clan may not agree."

"Yes, Yakumo after eliminating the inner demon Ido is a new hope for the Kurama clan, not to mention that she still has the identity of the clan." Ito Cheng sighed slightly.

Then the two stopped talking about adopting Kurama Yakumo, and silently followed everyone back to Konoha Village, walked into the Hokage's office, and met Steel Hand.

"...That's what happened." Xirihong said after telling the whole story.

"This is really a good ending for you and Yakumo." The steel hand said softly with his elbows on the table and his fingers interlocked in front of his mouth. Then the steel hand opens his hands. He said to the people standing in front of him, "Let's all disperse."

Then everyone bowed slightly and exited the Hokage's office. Among them, Ito Cheng and Yuri Kurenai left the Hokage's office building. He went straight to Konoha Hospital to visit Kurama Yakumo, who was undergoing comprehensive examination and treatment there.

During this period, there was naturally a deep relationship between master and disciple, and it was not enough to talk.

"I'll come to you in the evening." After the visit was over and he was about to leave Kurama Yakumo's ward, Ito Shige said to Kurama Yakumo on the hospital bed using the Yamanaka family's secret technique of telepathy.

Although Kurama Yakumo was mentally surprised, he didn't say anything. He watched Yuri Kurenai and Ito Cheng leave his ward, and then turned to look at Konoha Village outside the window.

The next day is uneventful...

At night, after sending Xi Rihong home full of joy. After returning to his residence, Ito Cheng once again put on his night clothes, covered his face with a dog-face mask, left the room through the window, and sneaked towards Konoha Hospital.

For Ito Cheng, who was a member of the medical team some days ago, sneaking into Konoha Hospital was completely familiar, so he arrived at Kurama Yakumo's ward smoothly without alerting anyone. I saw Kurama Yakumo who was pretending to sleep.

"Yakumo." Ito Cheng walked to Kurama Yakumo's bedside and called softly.

Kurama Yakumo, who heard the familiar greeting, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ito Cheng, who was wearing a dog-face mask on his head.

"Now that your matter is over, let me ask you again, are you willing to leave Konoha Village with me to see the wider world outside." Ito Cheng took off the mask on his face, looked at Kurama Yakumo and asked .

"No." Kurama Yakumo, who had already sat up from the bed, shook his head slightly and said, "I misunderstood Teacher Hong before, but now I know the truth, so I no longer hate Konoha, and I am willing to stay in Konoha." Village life.”

"Really, that's such a pity." Ito Cheng said with regret.

"What about you, why did you leave Konoha? I remember you and Kurenai-sensei are dating." Kurama Yakumo asked.

"I'm not leaving Konoha." Ito Cheng chuckled and explained, "I'm leaving this world."

"Leave this world?" Kurama Yakumo repeated strangely.

"Yes." Ito Cheng responded, "But since you won't come with me, I can't tell you these things."

"Oh." Kurama Yakumo nodded in response and then fell silent.

"Okay, I'm leaving, bye." Ito Cheng reached out and gently rubbed Kurama Yakumo's head, saying goodbye with a chuckle. Then he put on the dog face mask again and returned to his residence along the original route.

The days that followed returned to calm again. Except for mission time and spending time with the sun, Ito Cheng seemed to be doing nothing every day. In this way, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ito Cheng, who was on his way back to the village after the mission, suddenly stopped on a branch. Then he reached into his arms and took out the small black ball consultation device.

"Come on!" On the surface of the small black ball consultation device, text composed of green digital symbols appeared in Ito Cheng's eyes.

"I thought you would never look for me." Seeing this, Ito Cheng smiled slightly, put the little black ball in his arms again, and entered the Rubik's Cube world. While changing clothes and putting on a mask, he thought to himself.

Then after the disguise was completed, he returned to the world of Naruto. As soon as the energy in his body moved, Ito Cheng's figure disappeared from the branches in an instant.

On the other side, just as a whirlwind swept toward Temari, a figure suddenly appeared next to Temari, hugged her waist, and ducked out of the path of the whirlwind's attack.

"Why didn't you send me a message earlier?" Ito Cheng said quietly as he let go of Temari.

"There were other people here before, so I couldn't send you a message." Temari explained in a low voice.

"Who are you?" The blue-haired woman holding two blue swords asked in a deep voice.

"This guy is a ninja from the Land of Craftsmen. The weapon in her hand can reverse the wind and send back the force doubled." Temari introduced Ito Cheng in a low voice.

"I understand." Ito Cheng said after hearing this. Then he ignored the female ninja from the land of craftsmen, turned over three special kunais, and threw one of them towards the opponent.

"A little trick." He said and waved the long sword in his hand. As soon as the wind blade hit the sword, it was instantly shot out from the sword and rushed towards the special kunai in mid-air.

At this time, Ito Cheng threw out a special kunai in his hand again, and the one who arrived first hit the tail end of the kunai in mid-air, and then heard a crisp "ding" sound, and the two kunai changed at the same time. direction, skillfully dodged the wind blade attack, and shot towards the female ninja in a roundabout way.

But that wasn't the end yet. Just when the female ninja jumped back and was about to use the wind blade to hit the special kunai away, Ito Cheng threw out the last special kunai he held in his hand and hit it. The tail end of a special kunai, and then hugged Temari beside him and dodged to avoid the approaching wind blade.

"Cang~" At this time, the special kunai that had been changed its direction twice finally flew in front of the female ninja of the Craftsman Country. She blocked it with her sword and nailed it to the ground.

Immediately, Ito Cheng's figure flashed and suddenly appeared next to the special kunai. He reached out and grabbed the wrist of the female ninja from the Craft Country and twisted it hard. When the other party let go due to pain, the other hand quickly He took the opponent's long sword and swiped it vertically, cutting off her captured arm.

"Ah~" The female ninja from the Craftsman Country immediately let out a shrill scream.

But Ito Cheng kept holding on, swung his hand and hit the half of the arm he was holding on the latter's face. When the latter's eyes were spattered by the blood spurted from the broken arm, he quickly stepped forward and slashed with his knife. Fang used his long sword to cut across her waist.

"Poof~" A muffled sound was heard, and the female ninja's body suddenly broke into two halves, and then she fell to the ground in a rain of blood.
