Infinite Clone System

When Naruto woke up again, what he saw was Kushina who was sitting beside him. The former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki looked tired, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.

"Mother……?"

Naruto said in a daze, "Am I back to Konoha?"

Hearing Naruto's voice, it took a while for Kushina to react, she quickly raised her head to make herself look more energetic

Then he said angrily, "Yeah, you brat, how could you make yourself like this when you went out to perform a mission?"

Naruto smirked, he didn't want to tell what happened before, and he didn't want to tell about the person he saw who called himself his elder brother and called 'Uzumaki Mianma'.

Because this is bound to make Kushina feel worried, his deal with the other party was at the cost of his own life, and now he has lost a quarter of his life, this must not be told to Kushina.

"Didn't Mr. Kakashi tell you? Oh yes, how long have I been back?"

"It's been two days..." Kushina looked worried, "JOJO and Sasuke who were with you woke up not long after returning to the village, only you have been asleep for so long, even Tsunade-sama can't tell who you are What's wrong."

"Grandma Tsunade can't see it, so it means I'm fine!" Naruto said with a smile

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I also want to inform Anbu about your awakening."

Kushina shook his head, and Orochimaru had been there before when Naruto was in a coma, and told Kushina that he hoped to let Naruto find him after he woke up.

Kushina couldn't guess what Orochimaru wanted to do, but since Orochimaru had already said so, he couldn't refuse.

After all, Orochimaru is the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. Although she, Kushina, is no longer a ninja, as long as she is still alive in Konoha, she is unlikely to refuse Orochimaru's request.

And Orochimaru probably wanted to know about the situation. After all, according to Kakashi, he didn't know what happened later, so it was necessary for the other three children to ask.

………………

When Kushina left, Naruto sat up on the bed in a daze. At this time, he thought of all the things that happened in the land of waves, and felt like a dream.

Such a powerful demon was slaughtered by himself?

He thought of the fact that after agreeing to the deal with 'Mian Ma', at the same time that powerful force poured in, it seemed that another personality was manipulating him. Naruto could only vaguely recall what happened at the beginning, as if From that moment on, my body doesn't belong to me anymore.

Is this the price he said? Exchange your own soul for power?

"Are you scared?"

At this time, Naruto felt the same feeling from the beginning again. At this moment, the time was infinitely elongated, the second hand of the clock in the room almost stopped, and everything was still.

Mian Ma, who looked exactly like himself, appeared in the room. He skillfully pulled a chair to the side of the bed, sat down, and looked at himself quietly.

"Afraid? Afraid of what?"

This time Naruto did not marvel, but instead asked, "Are you afraid that my life will be taken away by you? Now that I think about it, I am really scared. If you take my life away, then my mother must be very sad."

"She's my only son."

Naruto's voice was a little low, and then suddenly became light

"By the way, I don't know who you are yet? Why do you look like me?"

"Whirlwind, whirlpool, Mianma... Actually, it shouldn't be like this." Mianma raised her head and said softly

"If the world line develops normally, it should be Naruto Uzumaki and Namikaze Namma, but the two who were originally supposed to be opposites have become such a relationship after changing their surnames..."

He shook his head, "I am a ghost, a ghost floating in history and destiny, I was born because of a wrong world line. So to you, I am still a devil, as long as our deal is reached, I can take it away Your body takes your place."

"Existence that replaced me..." Naruto was taken aback, "Is that how you say it?"

"You will need my strength sooner or later, you will have to trade it with your life, or lose everything you value." Mian Ma replied calmly, "No matter what you choose, it will be beneficial to me, so I don't need to choose .”

"That's it..." Naruto lowered his head, and suddenly smiled, "Then let's have a competition and see if I will be taken away by you! I remember you called me brother before, right? That's it Let us have a contest between brothers!"

"Contest?" Mian Ma chuckled lightly, "Afterwards you will understand that this is definitely not something that can be described as a contest."

"Then let us wait and see!"

Naruto clenched his fists tightly. When he raised his head, he found that the numbness had disappeared.

Only the chair pulled over by him before proves that someone has just been there...

………………

"elder brother!"

Itachi had just returned home after completing the mission, and saw Sasuke leaning against the door, looking expectant.

Itachi walked over, patted Sasuke's head and asked, "I remember you went to the ninja trial? Why, did you finish it so soon?"

He had just finished Anbu's mission, and he only knew that Sasuke was going to the country of Nami, but he didn't expect that Sasuke was already waiting for him when he got home.

Did he successfully complete the mission and was waiting for his own praise?

Itachi was already thinking about how to reward Sasuke in his mind. As for Sasuke failing the trial, he never thought about it. Although Sasuke has not yet graduated from the ninja school, he is actually no worse than a genin or even a chunin.

"Speaking of this, brother, I want to tell you something."

Sasuke took Itachi back to the house and sat down, and began to talk about the strange fruit he ate after arriving in the country of Nami, and kept talking about the attack of the fire cloud evil god, and then he waited for someone to know who gave it to him. Rescued, and then sent back by Kakashi.

"Strange fruits and powerful demons?"

Itachi's face darkened after hearing this, Sasuke is not performing the test of becoming a ninja, even Kakashi, an elite Jnin, almost died there, and even Jiraiya-sama's life is in danger.

"Don't worry about that!" Sasuke became excited, "Now I eat the burnt fruit that Kakashi said, and my strength has increased a lot! Now even you may not be my opponent!"

"Really, then I really want to congratulate." Itachi put what Sasuke said before in his heart, and then smiled

"Sasuke wants to compete with me, so let's go outside."

After speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

Sasuke couldn't wait to chase after him, and the two stood apart in the courtyard, taking a fighting stance together.

Sasuke took a breath, quickly formed the fire seal, and the next moment a fireball spit out from his mouth.

Art fire escape ho fireball!

Itachi dodged it with a teleportation technique, but found that the corner of Sasuke's mouth raised an arc. With a wave of his hand, the fireball that he had already dodged suddenly turned a corner and continued to rush towards him.

Burning fruit to control the flame?

Itachi formed seals at a speed that ordinary people's eyes could not catch. The next moment, a water dragon gathered around him, and the water dragon opened its huge mouth to swallow the fireball, causing it to make a muffled sound inside the water dragon.

At this time, Sasuke was also ready for the next wave of attacks. He let out a low cry, and countless needle-thin flame rays shot out from his fingers, like a rain of fire, and Itachi could only continue to dodge.

"Brother, you are too careless! I won this game!"

Itachi was startled when he heard the words, at this time he found that there were silk threads all over his side at some point, Sasuke puffed up his mouth and spit out flames, letting him quickly surround Itachi along the silk threads.

"Surrender, Itachi."

Sasuke said rather complacently.

…………

In the room, watching Sasuke who was lying on the table confidently say this sentence, Itachi smiled helplessly, then stood up and closed his Sharingan, and set it to let him go five minutes after he left. Sasuke's illusion is lifted.

When he walked out of the room, his expression changed to his usual indifference, and he was going to ask his father and Brother Zhishui what was going on.

At this time, father and brother Zhishui should both be in the guard, which is convenient for him.

It's just that when he arrived at the headquarters of the Konoha Police Department with the Uchiha clan emblem engraved on it, he only saw Shisui who was busy.

He had replaced Fuyue as the new chief of the police force a few years ago, and Fuyue was the full-time head of the Uchiha clan, but anyway, it was the place where he had worked for more than ten years. Fuyue still often visited the police force. The Ministry of Affairs came to help Zhishui.

This time he is neither at home nor in the police department, which is a bit rare...

"The patriarch has gone to the newly established Kassel Academy. Hokage-sama and Mr. Anger have been there for a long time recently. There must be something to go to the patriarch this time."

Zhishui was also very happy to see Itachi came back, he took Itachi back to his office, and said so on the way

After dragging the blessing of world chaos ten years ago, the gap between Konoha and the Uchiha clan has almost disappeared. Of course, the main reason is that Orochimaru, who doesn't mind these things, is replaced as Hokage. Almost all the old people with old ideas are excluded by him. Otherwise, Hokage would never have summoned the head of the Uchiha clan to discuss anything.

But in recent years, this kind of thing is very common.

"Do you have anything to ask the patriarch?" Zhishui asked

"No, it's not something that's particularly urgent. And I already thought about asking you about it."

Itachi sat upright and sat across from Shisui, and said in a deep voice, "You should have heard about Sasuke before, right?"

It is very unlikely that Shisui would not understand such a major event, and it is still related to Jiraiya. After all, he is also a senior member of Konoha's new generation, and he is also a disciple of Jiraiya. time thing.

Shisui smiled and said, "I knew it had something to do with Sasuke, that's right, I already knew about it when Kakashi-senpai came back, but I couldn't get away and go to the country of Nami, and teacher Since I chose to stay there, I think I should have my own arrangements, and if I go rashly, I might disturb him."

Having said that, he looked embarrassed again

If he had been unofficial and light-hearted before, he would have applied to Hokage to go to the country of Na no matter what after learning about this.

But now he is the chief of Konoha's police force, the core force responsible for protecting Konoha's homeland security. If he leaves his post without authorization, he will be a sinner if Konoha is in any danger.

After the reconciliation between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan, most of Anbu’s security guards for the village were accepted by the Uchiha clan. The current Konoha garrison is a veritable garrison. Like before, it was actually the police responsible for some trivial matters. It is obviously inconsistent with the military profession of ninja.

Because in the past, Anbu was also accused of being responsible for the safety of the village, which made the Uchiha clan look more embarrassed.

Itachi also understood this point very well, so he didn't say much, but asked again

"There is another question, that is the fruit that Sasuke ate, do you have any guesses?"

"I've talked to the patriarch about this..." Zhishui frowned slightly, he leaned back and said slowly

"We think that Kakashi's guess is very likely to be correct. The fruit that Sasuke ate was the burnt fruit that Ace mentioned back then. I just don't know if there is only one fruit..."

When Shichibukai was born, Itachi was still very young, but after being a ninja for so many years, he has learned something about the original things. After all, as the son of the Uchiha clan, he has many news channels.

So he said with some doubts, "If according to what Shichibukai said at the beginning, Ace represents the D family, I thought that the burning fruit would be the power of this family."

Just like the Uchiha clan has Sharingan, an ancient family like the D clan can still serve as a member of Qiwuhai. It is not surprising that the family has something unique.

"It may not all be burnt fruits."

Zhishui chuckled and said, "If everyone in the D family is burning fruit, then there is no need for Ace to emphasize this point at the beginning, just say that controlling the flame will do."

"...This is also." Reminded by Shisui, Itachi said thoughtfully, "You mean that besides the burnt fruit, the D clan has other fruits? After eating them, you will get different fruits." The ability to control the burning fruit of the flame?"

"It's just a guess, but I personally think it's a very likely thing."

Speaking of this, Zhishui felt a little distressed, and he spread his hands, "No matter what we do, we have no way to verify it. Anyone who knows something about the D family and its members are dead, and we can't get it no matter how we guess. answered."

Itachi nodded noncommittally, if he could get other fruits, maybe he would have some understanding of the moment when Sasuke ate the shaoshao fruit.
