Chapter 347： Identity and Responsibility

“Kakashi…”

Biting his lower lip, he saw the "masked man" behind him taking away the newly born Uzumaki Naruto, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes as he watched the "masked man" behind him **** the newborn Uzumaki Naruto.

Obviously, the cross-country at this time really felt like Kakashi was a pig teammate. How could he not be able to hold on for even one second?

Originally, Cross Country, Kakashi and others had to face the strength of two "masked men", and the situation was very bad. Well now, the "masked man" behind has taken away Uzumaki Naruto. What can the cross-country at this time even if he is a real shadow-level powerhouse?

He did not have the Flying Thunder God technique of the Fourth Hokage, so he could only watch helplessly as the "masked man" behind him threatened them with Uzumaki Naruto!

What's more, the situation they have to face when going cross-country is completely critical!

How much effort does it take to kill the newly born Uzumaki Naruto?

Let alone off-road, an ordinary genin-level ninja can kill the new Uzumaki Naruto in the blink of an eye.

So, when Off-Road looked at Kakashi with angry eyes, Kakashi fell to the ground with his head buried, not even daring to look at Off-Road. While Kakashi buried his head and Uzumaki Kushina stared at Naruto Uzumaki in the hands of the "masked man" behind with worried eyes, the "masked man" in front said lightly:

“Nara Cross Country, don’t worry.”

“You and Hatake Kakashi are both useful people, so we will keep you alive.”

"The choice you have to make is very simple. It is nothing more than choosing Kushina Uzumaki or the child of the Fourth Hokage. If you choose Kushina Uzumaki..."

"Well, let's kill the Fourth Hokage's children and leave Konoha Village directly."

“Of course, I prefer that you choose the child of the Fourth Hokage, after all, Uzumaki Kushina is in our eyes...”

“More useful!”

As he said that, the eyes of the "masked man" in front became a bit colder, and then he said coldly: "To prove your sincerity, Nara Cross Country, can the secret technique you used to imprison me be unlocked?" ?”

"good!"

Maintaining the arrival of the Shadow Realm for one second requires a lot of mental energy to go off-road.

Even if the spiritual energy in the Off-Road Yin Escape Brand is not small, it is of no use at all to maintain the use of Shadow Realm Advent, right?

So, after listening to the words of the "masked man" in front of him, Cross Country obediently withdrew the use of Shadow World Arrival. However, at the moment when he recovered the Shadow World's Advent, Cross Country changed the form of Shadow World's Advent into a shadow communication technique, and connected it to the shadows of Kushina Uzumaki and Kakashi, making it easier for the three of them to communicate.

On the contrary, it was the "mask man" in front who looked at the cross-country and turned to the shadow imitation technique. He just took a deep look at the cross-country.

The "masked man" in the rear returned to the "masked man" in front, whispered a few words in her ear, and then their eyes fell on the cross-country, waiting for the cross-country. Make a choice.

Unknown to everyone, the two "masked men" were closely watching the cross-country, which brought invisible pressure to the cross-country.

Especially recalling the words of the "masked man" in front of me, my mind was more like a mountain pressing on me when I was going off-road, and I felt a bit hesitant when making a decision.

"They actually said that Kakashi and I are still useful. What use can Kakashi and I be?"

“If you don’t say Kakashi, just say me.”

“I have disrupted Master Ban’s plans many times. Doesn’t Master Ban mean to kill me? Doesn’t he feel that my existence is troublesome?”

“Or do you mean that I have become a very important link in Master Ban’s plan?”

“If that’s the case, I’m afraid I will face more and more troubles in the future, right?”

 Thinking that he might become Madara's chess piece, like Nagato, the "blackened" Uchiha Obito, a wry smile couldn't help but appear on the corners of his lips.

There is no doubt that if you have just crossed the cross country and do not have the half-step quasi-shadow level strength you have now, then joining Master Madara would be a cross country dream!

Think about Uchiha Obito in the original plot!

Without Madara, could Obito Uchiha awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?

Perhaps he has the identity of BOSS?

Even if he awakened the Sharingan, Obito Uchiha returned to Konoha Village after the Battle of Kannakun, and he would be an ordinary chuunin at best. Even if Uchiha Obito can really rise in the future, jounin is his limit, how can he become a shadow-level powerhouse who is proud of the pinnacle of the ninja world like he did under Madara?

Even became the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki in the original plot, with the terrifying power to crush the real Kage-level powerhouses?

So, joining Ban Ye's command is a shortcut to improving one's strength.

 With a shortcut in front of him, Cross-Country, who is still at a disadvantage, is naturally willing to join Madara. Maybe Madara will be happy and unlock the Nara brand that has troubled him for a long time, right?

However, with the increase in strength, especially the current half-step quasi-shadow level cross-country, it seems a bit resistant to join Banye's command.

As long as he is strong, no one likes to be restrained.

Kakudu joined Madara's command because he was under Madara's control.

In the plot of the original work, many film-level powerful people join the "Akatsuki" organization. While being restrained by the "Akatsuki" organization, aren't they also looking for ways to escape from control?

Now, looking at the Nara brand on the palm of his hand, Off-road feels very uncomfortable, let alone joining Madara's command?

Who is Mr. Ban?

Is it possible for the people he likes to gain true freedom?

Just look at the "blackened" Uchiha Obito and there is another "masked man"!

Even if someone who knows the plot of the original story goes to rescue the person Ban Ye is targeting and interferes with his plan, Ban Ye, as a hidden BOSS, still has his own way to conquer the people he has been optimistic about for a long time.

So, Banye took a fancy to him, and he felt that cross-country was a potential threat.

However, he didn’t give him so much time to think about it. Faced with the decision that the “masked man” asked him to make, Kakashi’s voice echoed in the spiritual communication and said: “I’m really sorry, it was my fault just now.” . But don’t worry, you and Kushina-san, since it’s my fault, I will definitely make up for it!”

"Now I ask for a change of hostage, just use me in exchange for Kushina-sama, your child!"

"When the belt exchange is successful, cross-country, there is no need to worry about my life, just take Kushina-san and Kushina-san's children and escape!"

As he spoke, Kakashi in the cross-country eyes was about to speak, ready to go and tell the hostage exchange like an idiot.

Looking at such an idiot Kakashi, Cross Country really had the idea of ​​hitting him to death. Immediately, just when Kakashi was about to speak, Cross Country said in a mocking voice: "Kakashi, are you really an idiot? Do you think you are valuable, or do you think those two "masked men" are fools? ? Do you think it’s possible for them to exchange hostages?”

“Idiot, their target from the beginning was Kushina-san!”

“You are such a hopeless idiot!”

As he spoke, Kakashi fell silent.

As for cross-country, when Kakashi was silent, he was silent for a few seconds, and then said to Uzumaki Kushina in spiritual communication: "Kushina-sama, now I have to make a choice. I hope Don't blame me."

“Off-road, how do you choose?”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Although she already had an answer in her heart, Uzumaki Kushina still held some hope and asked in spiritual communication.

And listening to Uzumaki Kushina's voice, Cross Country must confess to Uzumaki Kushina even if he is unwilling to tell the answer.

"Master Kushina, your identity is not only the mother of a child, but also the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha Village. Therefore, this is not a multiple-choice question, but a required choice. As the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, I must protect it. What's more, the child can be reborn, but you are still dead. If these two "masked men" control the Nine Tails in your body, they may threaten the entire Konoha Village. !”

With that said, Cross Country ignored the angry roar of Uzumaki Kushina during the spiritual communication, and said directly to the two "masked men":

“Hey, we’ve made our choice.”

"Kushina Uzumaki is ours, you can do whatever you want with the child!"

Off-road finished speaking, he used the teleportation technique and returned to Uzumaki Kushina, fearing that the two "masked men" would regret it.

As for the two "masked men", it was obviously clear early on that the choice for cross-country must be Uzumaki Kushina. Therefore, almost as soon as Cross Country finished speaking, the "masked man" in front nodded, and then the "masked man" behind was about to take action, strangling Naruto Uzumaki to death.

But just when the protagonist of the original plot, Uzumaki Naruto, was about to die tragically in the hands of the "masked man" behind him, suddenly the breath of time and space appeared in the cross-country perception again!

Moreover, at the moment when the breath of time and air appeared, there was only a "whoosh" sound!

A golden figure suddenly snatched back Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist of the original plot, from the hands of the "masked man" from behind!

“Now I am not the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, but a simple father!”

“Since you are a father, it is your duty to protect your children.”

"Are you right? Kushina!"
