Naruto is Reincarnated - 165 The memories of her...

“Project 7610?”

Jiraiya was astonished.

If the numbers were spelled out, it worded into Naruto ( 7=Na, 6=Ro/Roku/Mu, and 10=Tou ).

As Jiraiya looked at the overview of the blueprints, he was angered.

“Weren’t you supposed to come out with this project two years later?” Jiraiya asked.

“I was pressurized by the very existence of your student,”

“On the other hand, I needed a weapon against Akatsuki also,” Orochimaru expressed his opinion on the matter.

“Scared of my student, eh? Orochimaru?” Jiraiya asked with a hint of mockery.

“…” Orochimaru silently stared at Jiraiya.

“Well, as long as you build this one to protect our village, I will close my eyes on that,” Jiraiya said.

“…” Orochimaru smirked seeing that Jiraiya wasn’t against his plan of building Mecha Naruto.

“Jiraiya-sama,” Dr.Hiro called out.

“Hmm?” Jiraiya looked at Dr.Hiro.

“Please see if you’d require anything from here to help you out in your infiltration,”

“There are also some food supplies I have set aside which may be of help in your travel to the Hidden Grass,” Dr.Hiro said.

“Hmm…” Jiraiya wondered.

“What is it?” Orochimaru asked.

“The Hozuki Castle is the only place that the five nations have cooperated to build,”

“If we were to slip up, then the Hidden Leaf’s reputation will be damned,” Jiraiya said.

“Exactly,” Dr.Hiro also joined in.

“Though I cannot manage for long without my hunter, you don’t need to sacrifice your village for that,” Dr.Hiro begged.

The Hozuki Castle also known as blood prison, was built in collaboration by all five great nations to throw their most devious criminals into the place. The Hozuki castle was said to be located somewhere near the Hidden Grass. When a nation threw their prisoner there, it was said that the nation had forsaken the said person’s citizenship, at that point even if the prisoner was to be released, He would have nowhere to go home to.

“Give us a minute will ya,” Jiraiya said following which he approached Orochimaru.

“Orochimaru,”

“Why go to this guy now of all times?” Jiraiya asked.

“Think about it,”

“My knowledge is limited to ninjutsu, kinjutsu (forbidden jutsus) and medical ninjutsu,”

“As long as we recruit him now, the current technology with our ideas will jump leaps and bounds,” Orochimaru said.

“You think I don’t know that,”

“Obviously I wanted to recruit him first,” Jiraiya said.

“So we are on the same page then,” Orochimaru interrupted.

“…” Jiraiya stared at Orochimaru silently.

(“Damn, Naruto was right”)

(“It is definitely hard to imagine Orochimaru’s crooked mind actually bending in our favor,”)

“As long as we do this together,”

“There won’t be any problem then…” Jiraiya turned away.

“Jiraiya,” Orochimaru called out.

“Hmm?” Jiraiya turned back.

“We will be successful,”

“As long as you don’t slip,” Orochimaru said.

“Damn,” Jiraiya clenched his fists, being reminded of the time when he was a loser in team Sarutobi.

However, now, things would be different.

“Let’s pack up for the Hidden Grass,” Jiraiya said as he headed out of the room.

Dr.Hiro immediately followed in after Jiraiya to help him; meanwhile, Orochimaru turned back to look at the desk where the blueprints were…

————————————

Back in the Hidden Sand…

(Whoosh!)

Gaara flew across a bare ground as he slowly infused his chakra into the sand on the ground.

After a few minutes, he stopped flying around and headed to the center.

(“Looks like I have infused enough Chakra…”) Gaara thought.

*Sh!*

Gaara rose his hand up.

Zzzzzzzz!!!!

The ground vibrated beneath him.

Gaara sweated bullets as he continued to maintain holding up his hand.

Soon the ground started to raise up a circular wall around him slowly.

(Boom!)

The wall started to rise up Higher and higher.

(“If this were before, I wouldn’t be capable of controlling chakra on this scale…”) Gaara thought back to the time Naruto had sealed Shukaku properly in his own body.

Ever since that day, he had sound sleep in the night and better perception of human emotions and the reality around him.

However, there was one thing that worried him the most, that was facing Shukaku once again.

“I hope one day, you will become like me, learning to let go of all that hatred within you and embrace humans…” Gaara murmured.

However, Shukaku, who was on the inside begged to differ.

However, at the same time, he wondered if what the sage fo six paths said before would become true…

The day when a boy would appear in front of all the tailed beasts and call them by their real names.

(Boom!)

The ground vibrated once more as Gaara settled the rising walls at a certain height.

Hah!

Hah!

Hah!

Gaara panted heavily as he looked up to see the 1.5 km diameter of a coliseum wall he had just raised up.

“Gaara,” a voice called out.

“Kazekage-sama,” Gaara responded upon seeing Rasa walk towards himself.

“Now that we are alone…”

“You can…”

“call me…” Rasa slowed down to the point where Gaara’s eyes were fixed on Rasa’s mouth as they uttered the next word.

“dad,”

Gaara’s eyes widened upon hearing those words.

—————————————

(Bang!)

A sudden explosion took place outside the Hidden Leaf Village.

“What just…” Before Shikamaru could open his mouth, dust blew against his face forcing him to halt whatever he was saying.

Cough!

Cough!

Cough!

Naruto and Shikamaru both coughed out loud.

Soon the dust cleared a little allowing Shikamaru to peek in on their current location.

“How did we come outside…” Shikamaru thought.

And then it suddenly hit him.

When they were back in the hospital where Naruto’s clone suddenly lost control.

The original Naruto appeared right next to Shikamaru, and before the clone could strike the floor of the hospital with its anger, Naruto had teleported the clone and Shikamaru along with himself outside the village.

“Grr!!!” The clone Naruto growled with its red nine tailed cloak.

The original Naruto instantly switched into his proper nine tails mode and restrained the clone.

“What happened?” Naruto asked once again.

“…” Shikamaru was confused.

He didn’t know what Naruto was unto in the first place since Naruto did not mention the fact that he could transfer memories to him, But the situation in front of the duo now took priority.

(“The clone hasn’t been dispelled so most likely Naruto’s reason for anger hasn’t transferred to the Original”) Shikamaru thought following which he looked at Naruto.

“Naruto, under any condition, do not dispel your clone,”

“Don’t destroy it,”

“Just hold it at bay,” Shikamaru said.

Naruto didn’t understand, but he knew that he could only rely on Shikamaru’s brains.

“Got it,” Naruto responded as he increased the power of his restraint even more on the clone.

“Naruto, is there any way you can find out what your clone wanted to do in the first place?” Shikamaru asked.

“Let me see,” Naruto said following which he quickly closed his eyes.

“Shū” Naruto called out immediately.

“Sorry Naruto, I cannot tell you just yet,”

“You might lose your rationality once you find out,” Shū said.

“I’ll have you know that I have the psyche of a Hokage class ninja ya know,”

“The last thing that can cause me to lose my rationality is an alcoholic-drink,” Naruto shouted following which he looked at the clone.

“You are going down!”

< Adamantine Sealing Chains! >

Clink! Clink! Clink!

Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink!

The chains appeared from Naruto’s shoulders and bound the angry clone down.

(“Kurama, help me out,”) Naruto called out.

(“Sorry Naruto, the chakra your clone has right now is actually the one you’ve pulled out of me,”)

(“It isn’t technically my chakra at this point,”) Kurama explained.

“Damn!” Naruto cursed.

(Whoosh!)

Minato appeared next to Naruto.

“Dad,” Naruto called out.

“Kurama informed what was going on,”

“I’m here to help,” Minato said.

(Whoosh!)

Tobirama also appeared.

“What’s going on Lord Seventh?” Tobirama asked.

“I have no idea,” Naruto complained.

However, Naruto had an uneasy feeling in his chest at this moment, followed by sudden dizziness.

“Uh-oh,” Naruto suddenly had a feeling his clone was about to dispel itself.

(Poof!)

The clone dispelled.

The three people around Naruto were shocked, especially Shikamaru who had already predicted what would happen.

Shikamaru slowly turned to look at Naruto.

(Gulp!)

Shikamaru was scared to see the original Naruto, not showing any response or movements at all.

However, no matter how troublesome the situation was, he still had to try.

“N-Naruto,” Shikamaru called out in a shaky voice.

“…” Naruto who stood next to Minato, Tobirama, and Shikamaru was utterly silent,

As soon as the clone dispelled, everything from his conversation with Shū regarding his locked memories and the twelve years of memories themselves flashed by in an instant.

At this moment, in Naruto’s mind, an image of a young blonde girl of twelve years was formed.

She had two whiskers on each cheek, blue eyes that seemed to attract the entire world around her.

“Jiichan” The young girl called out in a sweet and innocent voice.

Naruto felt completely elated as though he was free from all the worries in the world as he stared at the young girl.

The young girl brought out her hands, indicating for Naruto to carry her.

Naruto, in return, happily tried to reach out for the young girl.

As his hands approached her, the image of what he saw shattered right in front of him.
