Chapter 75: No Longer Hope for the Village
Root base.
It is still in Konoha Village, but at the underground of a secret place.
All around is covered with huge roots. The air is still filled with a thick humid smell of mud.
Naruto didn't know how long it has been. The two root ninjas held Naruto and kept turning left and right before they came here. Along the way, Naruto did not resist, shout, or struggle.
His eyes are godless.
He just let others walk him.
In this sluggish situation, until two root ninjas carried him to the place where the roots detained the prisoner, Naruto was awakened by the howling of ghosts and wolves from cell to cell.
Realizing that someone is passing by, the "creatures" held in the cell will be so excited that they will stretch out their palms and try to catch the incoming person.
"Please, I can't take it anymore! Let me go! Let me go!"
"Hu hu huu~ I said it! I said everything! You guys let me out soon!"
There are male and female voices.
Naruto, who was only 7 years old, has never seen such a scene. He was scared on the spot, and his face was pale and pale, and he no longer had the optimistic thoughts of the past.
..
Not long, the two Root ninjas, carrying Naruto, came to a cell. They opened the cell and threw Naruto in, and the cell was closed again.
Naruto ignored the wound caused by being thrown to the ground and slammed into the only ventilation place at the cell door. It is the kind of hole used to deliver food under the door.
Naruto leaned down and tilted his head, looking towards the root ninja outside the hole as much as possible: "Hey! What do you want? What do you want?! Let me go!"
Unfortunately, the last thing Naruto saw was just the ankle where two Root ninjas left.
The footsteps gradually get further apart. It disappeared completely until the end.
Breathing the damp air and feeling the cold mud, Uzumaki Naruto, who has always been lively, cheerful, and optimistic, has to accept the facts in front of him.
His mood collapsed instantly.
The whole person sat down paralyzed, leaning against the door of the cell.
'Finished...'
'It's really over...'
'Where is this place? Why did they bring me here?'
'Why does the village become like this?'
'Why did everyone become so strange?'
The tears in Naruto's eyes were unable to bear, but he couldn't make a cry.
To have everything and then lose everything again.
Naruto has been hit hard this time as never before! In the original work, Naruto never got what he wanted, so when Iruka gave him a little favour, he asked him to treat him ramen. Iruka only said a few words in agreement with him, and he was moved to weeping bitter tears. He treated Iruka like his relatives.
Even in the village, there are still many people who treat him as a monster, but after so many years, he is used to it, isn't he?
But what about this life?
Naruto understood his identity in this life! He is Fourth-Hokage's son. Namikaze Minato's son! He is the son of a hero!
After the news became public, the villagers treated him better and better. He has a group of students who agree with him. He has a good life that he had dreamed of in the past. But when he walked to the most peak in his life, and everything was so beautiful, now he was told that everything in front of him was fake?
'It turns out that the students, neighborhoods, and neighbors who talk and laugh at me every day are all fake?'
The more he thinks about it, the more Naruto feels that this world is terrifying. This world is strange. This is not the world in his imagination.
At this time, he finally became unable to bear and muttered to himself: "Why... why do you do this to me? What am I doing wrong? Father... father... what are you desperately guarding?"
At this moment, Li Yaoxiang's voice finally appeared in Naruto's mind: "When you make this choice, you should expect such a result, right? The village has never been kind to you for a moment. Until now, you are deceiving yourself, aren't you?"
Naruto was shocked. Then there was a wry smile.
'Yup--.'
'Big brother is right.'
'This so-called benevolence, until now, is just a fantasy.'
'This long-awaited Will of Fire has always been my own fantasy.'
'I don't want to believe it.'
'Self-deception.'
'Now such a result, who's to blame?'
Thinking of this, Naruto whole body sat there weakly. Looking up towards the dark wall in the cell, a kind of expression appears, as if to the village, no longer expressing any hope...
...
Li Yaoxiang turned his attention to the system interface in his mind.
[Host: Li Yaoxiang
Darkening Target: Uzumaki Naruto
Target Soul: 12/40
Darkening Degree: 37%
Darkening Value: 153,950
Mall: Omitted]
The degree of darkening increased from 25% to 37%.
The harvest this time was not beyond Li Yaoxiang's expectations. It turned out to be like his previous conjecture. Naruto suffered more damage this time as a person involved than when he was a bystander.
Although it was the same as when Sasuke was finalizing the clan, it increased the darkening degree by 12%.
But Li Yaoxiang can clearly feel that Naruto has been hit harder this time than any other time.
The reason why the system only gives 12% is probably that it has a great relationship with Naruto's soul value, which has increased by 2 points.
As for the darkening point...
Of the 20,000 remaining last time, 7,000 were spent on Yuri Uehara. 50 is the cost of Astral Projection that night.
Unlike 100,000 darkening points awarded by 12% last time, although this time it is also 12%, the system has rewarded 140,000 darkening points.
He glanced at the more than 150,000 blackened spots.
Li Yaoxiang didn't mean to use it now.
After all, judging from the strength of his body, as long as there's no accident, there shouldn't be any major problems with self-protection in Naruto World. Coupled with the current blackening point, the figure of 400,000 is not far away.
Instead of increasing such a little bit of strength every time.
Wouldn't it be better to save enough to 400,000 points and directly exchange for Rinnegan or Tensegan to become a party expert?
Of course, the premise of saving is that in the layout of darkening, there is really no need to use darkening points.
Otherwise, he would not hesitate when it was time to use it.
...
Exited the system interface. The concentration returns to Naruto in reality.
Today's Naruto has the look of unlovable life.
Li Yaoxiang did not rush one step further of darkening him. Because in his plan, if there is no accident, it will not be long before Naruto's darkening degree should have a chance to be increased. After all, now he is imprisoned.
Danzo has planned a series of programs for him that he hasn't experienced yet!
When he personally experienced a series of projects arranged for him by the village, when the time comes, it was Li Yaoxiang's debut again...
