Naruto: The Whirlpool Noodles from Infinite Tsukiyomi

Chapter 87 Do you want to understand the meaning of life? (3k)

Thump~thump~

A figure with gray hair squatted by the stream, putting his hands in the stream and washing them continuously.

The originally clear stream water gradually turned red.

"why why……"

Kabuto Yakushi's face was reflected in the water, and the ripples made the originally common facial features look a little distorted.

"Why would the dean forget me...then who am I all this time?"

The dean died, died by his hands.

Moreover, before dying, he asked him: "Who are you?"

At that moment, everything about him was erased.

"Obviously, she adopted me, she gave me my name, and even these glasses..." Kabuto Yakushi took off his round-framed eyes.

But the next moment he lowered his head, his body suddenly stiffened.

Looking at the blurry, broken face on the water.

Kabuto Yakushi's eyes were blank, and he murmured: "Who am I?"

Once he was Kabuto and a Konoha ninja.

Later he became the Iwagakure ninja, the Kumogakure ninja, the Kirigakure ninja...

But from beginning to end, the identity of "Kabuto" is the self he has always adhered to.

The glasses were the bond between him and the dean, and the name was the meaning given to him by the dean.

He had nothing, but he had a strong self and found his destination.

but now……

It all seems to have become a joke.

Just when Yakushi Kabuto's heart was filled with confusion.

Huh~huh~

There was a roar in the sky.

When Medicine Master Kabuto came back to his senses, he looked up.

However, a snake-shaped psychic beast was seen hovering in the air, and a figure jumped down from it.

Under the shocked gaze of Kabuto Yakushi.

With a loud "bang", the figure fell directly to the ground, and a burst of smoke and dust flew everywhere.

"Kabuto Yakushi? With this look, have you lost yourself?"

The smiling voice also reached the pharmacist's ears.

When the smoke cleared, a man wearing a three-eyed cat mask appeared in front of Yakushi Kabuto.

And the huge snake-like psychic beast was floating behind him.

"Who are you……"

Kabuto Yakushi reacted immediately and pulled back with serious eyes.

Chakra emerged from both hands and condensed into sharp chakra scalpels.

"As an excellent espionage officer, you should be able to recognize me, right?"

Medicine Master Kabuto frowned upon hearing this, and all kinds of intelligence information flashed rapidly in his mind.

After just three seconds, Yakushi Kabuto's body stiffened.

"Are you the masked man who killed Shunshen Shisui and sneaked into Konoha many times?"

After reacting, Kabuto Yakushi realized the difference in strength between the two and turned around to escape.

"Oh, you actually left your back to me."

Suddenly a sneer came from behind.

What he said next made Yakushi Kabuto's breathing even more stagnant.

"Has Nonoyu's death made you forget the calmness you should have as an intelligence officer?"

Kabuto suddenly stopped and turned to look at the masked man.

"You, how do you know?"

He tried his best to keep his expression calm, but he still couldn't suppress the panic inside.

But Menma just shook his head and did not directly answer his question.

"If you want to know the truth, come with me."

As he turned around and walked towards Qinglong, he said, "I will tell you everything you want to know."

Kabuto Yakushi was stunned: "What is it that I want to know?"

"Why Nonoyu wants to kill you, why she doesn't remember you, and..."

Menma paused, turned sideways and glanced at him: "Who are you?"

who I am?

Look into the dark blue eyes of the masked man.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yakushi Kabuto suddenly shivered.

For some reason, Kabuto felt as if he had been stripped naked in front of this man.

No matter what the secret is, it can't be hidden from this man.

"Why does the dean want to kill me, why doesn't he remember me, and who am I..."

Can this person answer my question?

Phew~

Kabuto Yakushi let out a long breath, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

The confused look in the dean's eyes, forgotten by the person he cared about most, made him like a ship that had lost its sails in the sea.

Without his identity as "Kabuto", he has nowhere to go and no meaning to live.

Therefore, he wants to know who he is.

"Interesting, did you calm down so quickly?"

Seeing Kabuto calm down quickly, Menma, who was walking in front, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Wait for Yakushi Kabuto to come to Qinglong's side.

Seeing the Uchiha letter in its mouth, he couldn't help but frown.

"This psychic beast eats people? Does it also bring its own food rations?"

But when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Dean!?"

Looking at Nonou on the blue dragon's tail, Kabuto slowly approached with a look of disbelief.

His qualities as a medical ninja also allowed him to analyze the state of the former dean.

The complexion is rosy, the breathing is steady, the wound is healed...

If you ignore the blood stains on your body, Nonoyu would be like entering a sweet dream.

But Kabuto remembered clearly that the dean was obviously dead.

Because the murderer who killed the dean was himself!

"you?!"

Kabuto Yakushi looked at Nonou, then turned to Menma, and asked at a loss: "Why is the dean here? Isn't she..."

"Wasn't he already killed by you?"

Menma plays with the taste: "You have more and more problems."

Medicine Master Kabuto also reacted when he heard this.

He gritted his teeth and immediately wanted to stand behind Qinglong.

Just didn't wait for him to go up.

Snapped!

Qinglong turned his head and slapped him away with his tail.

He saw Kabuto the pharmacist with a gray-headed and confused look on his face.

Menma also shook his head and said with a smile: "This guy's temperament is a bit arrogant, please forgive me."

After that, he formed a seal and used the nine-faced Su Po Ke, summoning the nine-faced beast White Tiger.

"Roar!!"

Kabuto stood up, holding his chest.

Looking at the domineering white tiger and the nine spells behind the masked man.

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"With this psychic technique, are there still seven psychic beasts?"

The strength of that snake-shaped psychic beast is estimated to be at the level of a jounin based on physical strength alone.

Kabuto Yakushi shook his head and leaned forward.

This time I sat down behind Bai Hu smoothly.

"Sit tight."

Menma's voice fell.

Before Yakushi Kabuto could react, Bai Hu spread out his limbs and ran towards the distance.

five minutes later.

Several people returned to Orochimaru's base again.

Kabuto Yakushi looked around at the gloomy surroundings.

Looking at those strange-looking "people" soaked in unknown liquid, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

"Don't get me wrong, this is just my trophy."

Menma seemed to know what Kabuto was thinking.

Without looking back, he explained with some disgust: "I have no bad taste in transforming people into half-humans and half-animals."

Although that guy Orochimaru has the core technology.

But in order to save his life, he dared to transplant anything into his body, turning himself into a human being and a ghost.

but……

In the original work, Kabuto Yakushi seems to have inherited Orochimaru's bad habits.

"Why did you bring me to a place like this?"

Hearing Kabuto Yakushi's question, Menma placed Noonoyu in his arms on the operating table.

Then he turned around and met Kabuto's eyes.

"If I hadn't appeared, the one standing in front of you now would be Orochimaru."

Menma said: "You have been destined to have this ending from the beginning, and even your mutual demise has been written in the script."

Medicine Master Kabuto couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Menma didn't explain, but took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to him.

"Let's take a look. From the beginning to the end, it was a deal between Orochimaru and Danzo, and you two are just abandoned sons and trading objects."

Abandoned son...

Trading items...

Medicine Master Kabuto's heart trembled and he took the scroll in his hand.

When he saw the content inside, his pupils suddenly dilated.

It turns out that Danzo told the director about the matter as early as five years ago, after he left the orphanage.

In order to let him regain his freedom, the dean made a deal with Danzo.

——Kill a spy who betrayed Konoha.

And there is no doubt that the so-called spy who betrayed Konoha is him, Kabuto Yakushi.

"I, I ignored my safety and spent several years collecting intelligence for Konoha, but they..."

Crunch!

Yakushi Kabuto pinched both sides of the scroll, a coldness flashed in his eyes.

He suppressed his resentment and looked up at Menma: "Then Dean, why didn't you realize it was me?"

If, if the dean did not intend to kill him, then...

Just when hope arose in Yakushi Kabuto's heart.

Wow~

Menma threw a stack of photos in front of him.

The photos scattered on the ground made Kabuto Yakushi freeze on the spot.

"Who is this guy?"

The face in the photo is 50% similar to his, and there are photos from childhood to adulthood.

"This is another bag."

Menma added: "Nonoyu can only know your safety and growth through photos, but she doesn't know that the photo has been replaced by someone else's, so Nonoyu didn't recognize you when he started."

The other one, Kabuto...

thump!

Hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but feel weak in his legs and fell directly to the ground.

His eyes were blank and he said in disbelief: "Am I being replaced?"

The name "Kabuto" should belong only to him!

Glasses were supposed to be the bond between him and the dean!

No matter what happens, he will never forget his relatives, who should be the dean!

But now... everything has changed.

"Then who am I?"

He has always wanted to know who he is and want to give himself an explanation.

But when he finally found it, he lost it again because of those guys.

"Tsk, Danzo."

Looking at Kabuto Yakushi who had lost his spiritual support, Menma's eyes showed a little more pity.

To a certain extent, Kabuto Yakushi is the most pitiable type of person in the Naruto world.

He has been alone since he was a child, and finally met Nonoyu, who was like his mother, friend, and lighthouse...

In order to keep the orphanage that the director cared about, he even became a spy.

During these five years of endless spy career, he changed countless identities.

But the identity of "Kabuto" has always been his only anchor in this world.

It is also the strength and belief that supports him to continue walking without losing himself.

During these five years, he always longed to return to the orphanage one day and meet the director and everyone at the orphanage.

but now……

His only identity has been replaced by others.

"Yakushi Kabuto."

Hearing the voice of the man in front of him, Kabuto instinctively looked up.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life?"

Menma's tone was meaningful: "Do you want to truly...live?"

Kavin...

This plot was written just like the defense. The more I watched it, the more uncomfortable it became. No matter how I tried to fix it, I was still not satisfied. It frustrated me to death.

I'll do this for today. I'll review the plot, check the status, and then update it.

Sorry, sorry.
