Konoha's Strongest Brother

Chapter 46
The winding streets and alleys of Konoha seem to be hard to see the end. Duan Ren just lowered his head and walked silently. The two ninjas clamoring for him to catch him were tied behind him with a thunderbolt and walked slowly. I walked through several intersections, passed several familiar places, passed through the Hokage Building, passed through the Yile Ramen Restaurant, and suddenly turned to the trail of the training ground, but Hatake's house was still out of reach.

Just like the time Hatake Sakumo took him outside the village, he tried his best to escape, but he couldn't escape to the place he wanted to go. The fire and burning smell around him reminded him of the famine victims' pot full of delicious food. The stew was familiar to those struggling in the fire, and he had seen it often in his wanderings.

More and more people appeared on his way forward, Uncle Fu rushed towards him with howls, but moved a knife at him after getting closer, yelling that it was Duan Ren's fault, which caused the huge Hatake clan to fall apart. He was also charged with treason.

He fought two moves with Fu Bo, and Fu Bo was more vicious than the other. There was no way, Duan Ren killed him.

In this absurd world, he seems to have become a lot stronger.

Fu Bo's body was trembling in a pool of blood, the blood gushing out of his neck was like a fountain, Duan Ren squatted down thoughtfully and looked at it for a long time, and said: "Everything is fake, how could Fu Bo be easily defeated by me, This is an illusion space, there is no level of strength, there are only subconscious killing and being killed."

There was a faint sound of wind in the air, mixed with Ling Uchiha's voice, "Even if you realize it, so what, do you want to continue to kill? What you think is fake is often true. If you move a knife now, you will never die again." Will take up the knife without mercy."

Duan Ren thought for a while, and felt that what Uchiha Ling said was indeed reasonable.

It doesn't necessarily apply to him, though.

Before leaving, he gave Uncle Fu a good time, watching Uncle Fu quietly close his eyes, and there was relief and relief in his closed eyes. At this moment, there was no hatred for Duanren in his eyes anymore. Some are just sad.

This illusion is so real!
Duan Ren stood at the same spot, pondered carefully for a long time, and then continued to move forward, step by step, as if he was walking in time and space, every step was a repetition of life, he had walked the long gravel road, and he had already put his own The life of the past ten years has passed again. This is not an empty dream, but an extremely real reappearance. Those people and things that have appeared in his life are clearly reappearing in this Konoha village that is about to burn.

That kind of heavy mental shock made people lost, and Duan Ren gradually lost his direction. He just remembered that he was moving forward, but after lifting his foot, he had forgotten which lane he was heading for.

He stopped, his eyes gradually returned to normal, looking at the depths of the raging leaves, he said lightly: "If you want to see, then I will kill you to see."

Duan Ren drew the sword, just like drawing a sword in a normal battle, but the strange thing is that at the last moment, there was no sword at his waist, he just made a movement in vain, and the next moment, the short sword Bai Fang had already reached his hand.

Under the blade, countless ninjas were decapitated, and the whole Konoha village was soaked in another touch of red. Any ninja who dared to block Duan Ren's footsteps or shouted loudly was killed by him, completely wiped out.

More familiar faces appeared one after another. Those people included childhood playmates, elders of the Hatake clan, teachers who taught him ninjutsu from the ninja school, jonin on the hospital bed he had killed long ago, and others. There was a zhongnin woman, her innocent child, and the old lady who kindly asked him to have breakfast... He killed anyone who appeared. Gradually, Duan Ren was no longer limited to a knife in the throat. It was chopped into a bloody mess, which made him feel better.

The short road was built into a mountain by the bones, and Duan Ren waded across the mountain. He murmured, "Sorry, I'm a naturally cold person."

……

……

A long, long time has passed in this fantasy world, but it was only a moment in the outside world. In the paddock, Duan Ren, who already had the upper hand, had a dull expression, while Ling Uchiha, who was already exhausted, lay on the ground laughing, suddenly , I saw Duan Ren trembling unconsciously in the field, as if announcing that there was only the final result left in this competition.

In the stands, Obito Uchiha had a complex expression on his face. He looked at Kakashi who was clenching his fists tighter and tighter, and said in a low voice: "Kakashi, I was just joking just now, you don't have to take it too seriously..."

Obito Uchiha, with rough nerves, is actually a person with a delicate heart.

Yuan Yelin glanced at Kakashi worriedly. She knew that Kakashi was an extremely conceited person in his bones. She also wanted to persuade Kakashi, but she didn't know how to speak.

Namikaze Minato looked at all this in annoyance. There was a contest between the Hatake Clan and the Uchiha Clan, and his disciples happened to be in this composition. It was strange. He was worried that Kakashi's spirit would be hit, so he patted Kakashi. Cassie's shoulder, and smiled at him.

Kakashi shook his head, withdrew his eyes that were staring at the field a second ago, turned and left, and said quietly, "I'll go first."

Others were amazed: "Don't you look at the result?"

Kakashi didn't turn his head, and continued to walk out, saying in a deep voice, "I'll be waiting for him at the Hatake House."

Suddenly, there was a rush of exclamation from the stands.

The broken sword fell limply on the ground, as if there was no skeleton support all over his body. His seven orifices flowed out bright red and dazzling blood, while Ling Uchiha on the other side had already struggled to stand up. The situation seemed to be clearer. We will see the outcome.

Kakashi still didn't look back, he is Duan Ren's younger brother, he understands the arrogance and madness in Duan Ren's bones better than others, the result of this battle is either to win or die, he can't accept the final result.

Namikaze Minato didn't say anything, he suddenly noticed a trace of evil aura at the moment just now, even though this aura was only a very short moment, he still caught it, it was emanating from Uchiha Ling's body in the field , Thinking of Uchiha's weird Sharingan, he thought of some bad things, these things are still too early for Kakashi, it may be a good thing for Kakashi to leave early.

He looked at the Hokage seat on the main stage.

There are also a few extremely powerful ninjas in the Naruto seat who have detected this dark aura, but there are not many of them, only a few sporadic ones. After all, controlling the aura also requires strong strength.

Sarutobi Rizai must be one of them, and so is Thousand Hands Orange Water.

After asking the question just now, Senshou Orange Water had already retreated to a far away place, but now he flew behind Sarutobi Hiruzen for the first time. He looked at the two figures in the field, and was stunned for an instant. He asked, "This feeling?"

Sarutobi Hizan didn't answer.

Out of some strange psychology, Senshou Orange Water seemed to affirm, but also seemed to ask: "Uchiha's Sharingan has the highest three-pointed jade, but it is said that there are higher levels."

After a long time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi let out a sigh of relief, and murmured, "You know this too?"

Qianshou Chengshui's face was as dark as ink, and he said: "I didn't know at first, but I learned a little bit after teaching the little Broken Blade Illusion Technique. I doubted the existence of this at first, but the dark breath just now was too strong. It's cold, it's too evil."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked back at Qianshou Orange Water, nodded, and said: "I'm only [-]% sure now, after all, it's the product of your grandfather, my teacher's era, there hasn't been a single example in these years, it's hard to judge... ...keep quiet."

Qianshou Chengshui's face changed greatly: "Will the Duanren be in danger?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "Don't worry, Ye Wu knows how to do it."

"But...but..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi gave him a deep look: "You say no at this time, is there any way to change all this?"

Qianshou Chengshui was stunned. If he took the initiative to stop the fight now, or simply admit defeat, it would only make Duan Ren's efforts forfeit. Since he chose to respect Duan Ren's choice, he should respect it to the end.

……

……

Ever since Duan Ren started to move forward, there have been people shouting and mocking him, or killing them directly. In this story, their Hatake clan became traitors who betrayed Konoha, and he was the chief culprit. After losing many, many people, there was a long silence.

A figure in a green bodysuit and waistcoat emerged from the clouds.

"No matter how difficult the front is, you shouldn't lose your mind, and you shouldn't become someone who makes others hate you, Duanren, why on earth did you betray Konoha?"

The person who spoke was Maitedai, who has always had a good relationship with the Hatake family. The person who once taught the Broken Blade Physical Art, for some reason, Duan Ren, who was originally calm and calm, suddenly felt a little irritable. He swung his knife uneasily, killing Lost Maite Dai.

Minato Namikaze appeared next, he didn't even bother to look at Duan Ren, and said mockingly: "People without will are not worthy of living in this world."

Duan Ren was furious, and also killed Namikaze Minato with a knife.

In the flames, Duan Ren's murderous intent scattered.

At this moment, Thousand Hands Orange Water came out from the pond.The moment Duan Ren saw the Thousand Hands Orange Water, he felt better, and returned to his rationality.

Qianshou Orange Shui didn't shout and kill as soon as he came up, he just looked at Duanren quietly, his eyes blank.

It's been a long, long time.

He said: "Little Duanren, you are a real genius."

Duan Ren was indifferent, staring at him and said seriously: "You have said this many times."

Qianshou Chengshui smiled slightly: "Every time I see you, I always want to say it... But sometimes geniuses are often stubborn and often do wrong things."

Only then did Duan Ren realize that he was in an illusion—the boundary between illusion and reality became increasingly blurred.

He didn't take care of the Thousand Hands Orange Water anymore, turned around and continued towards the Qi Mu Zhai.

Qianshou Chengshui arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye, and asked softly, "Little Duanren, where are you going?"

"I want to go home."

"It's not your home, the whole Konoha is, and you have already destroyed your home." Qianshou Chengshui said seriously: "But now there is still a chance to correct your mistakes, you just need to stop, put down the knife, There is still the possibility of being forgiven."

Duan Ren glanced at him and said, "It would be great if you acted a little more realistically. If you were a little more realistic, you would know that I don't need others' forgiveness."

With a single blow, Thousand Hands Orange Water also fell into a pool of blood.

But Qianshou Orange Water poured in a pool of blood still had an expression of persuading Duan Ren to turn around, struggling to say: "My disciple, I only hope that you can find the real path and become the carefree young man you were back then... ...I will always be by your side... This is my promise to you, this is a contract that belongs to you and me..."

Duan Ren didn't look back, and walked straight forward, but seemed to feel the sadness and grief that Qianshou Orange Water was experiencing at this time, and Duan Ren felt very uncomfortable.

"Stop, little Duanren, enough killing is enough!" An old voice sounded from the side, as if right next to his ear, Duanren grabbed his ear fiercely, as if he had caught something, but it seemed like this thing Gone with the wind.

The white smoke gradually condensed, taking the appearance of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hanmu Duanren, put down the knife in your hand, there is still a possibility of redemption, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Duan Ren's expression became serious in an instant, and he asked Hiruzaru Sarutobi, "Why should I put down the sword so that I can be at your mercy?"

"Because you did something wrong."

"What is right and what is wrong? You teach me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked forward slowly, walked up to Duan Ren, and said calmly: "It is right to follow the rules, and it is wrong to not follow the rules, and you have been wrong countless times. Now as long as you have a thought, there is still room for improvement. Wrong chance."

"But the rules are not all set by you, you can change them however you want."

Duan Ren frowned and said: "You said Konoha shines in the sun, but Konoha is darker and purer in the dark night."

Duan Ren once again swung his sword to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he had already reached Hatake House.

He opened the door and went in.

Outside the door is a prairie fire, but inside the door is warm, surrounded by lush flowers and plants, two people are sitting in the flowers talking and laughing happily.

Duan Ren was about to move on, when suddenly his heart moved, he hurriedly dodged, a kunai flew past his shoulder, it was from Hatake Sakumo's hand.

Hatake Sakumo's complexion changed from bright to dark, with countless emotions flowing on his face, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Hatake Sakumo said: "Rules should come first in the hearts of ninjas."

Hearing this, Duan Ren's face remained unchanged, but there was an uproar in his heart. He couldn't help but think of all the things in the past. Certain beliefs about love and goodness had been said to him.

"You have your reasons, and I have mine." Hatake Sakumo, who was standing quietly, looked at Duan Ren and said indifferently: "You just need to kill me to prove your reason."

Even though Duan Ren claimed to be cold-natured, he couldn't help being terrified after hearing this.

"As long as you kill me and step over my corpse, you will be successful. Your reasoning will be accepted by the world. It is not difficult. You just need to move the knife in your hand. I can tell you clearly I will not fight back, my child, I am your father, and I will not stand in your way."

Hatake Sakumo continued indifferently: "The choice is yours. If you can't figure it out, then quit Hatake House. If you can figure it out, then do it."

Duan Ren pondered for a moment, then bowed respectfully, and then inserted the dagger into Hatake Sakumo's body.

The originally red and green house suddenly turned into a blood mist. Duan Ren looked at Sakumo Hatake who was limp on the ground, leaving only a trace of panting. Seeing his pale face and the disbelief in his eyes, Duan Ren fell silent. After a long time, he said: "Since you have already died once, why do you want me to kill you again, why do you still force me, why do you still want to torture me."

Sakumo Hatake leaned against the big tree, and suddenly looked at him with a bleak smile. It was this smile that caused Duan Ren's rationality, which was still awake just now, to explode instantly. perish...

Some very complicated thoughts were intertwined in his mind.

Just now there was a person sitting among the flowers, it was a woman, now this woman was holding a cane and came towards Duan Ren, crying and wailing in grief.

Duan Ren was completely stunned.

Although he didn't know who this woman was, he opened his eyes wide to see, and found that this woman had no face... But this familiar feeling came, and Duan Ren felt that he was very familiar with this woman, and had lived with him a lot Years, like relatives.

That's right, this faceless, fuzzy woman was his mother.

"Fake, these are all fake, these are all illusions."

Duan Ren murmured, and stood on the yard with his head down, standing in front of Hatake Sakumo's corpse, allowing this woman with a blurred face to whip him with a cane.

Suddenly he raised his head and said, "It's all fake!"

He looked ahead, "Uchiha Ling, all this is fake, you can't fool me, as long as I am determined, your illusion will not work."

After saying this, Duan Ren put the dagger on his waist, remained motionless, and looked at the world curiously. Gradually, some people disappeared, and some bones also disappeared. "

Jie Jie's laughter came from the air, Uchiha Ling asked: "How do you know this is not the real world?"

"I said it's all an illusion, it doesn't scare me."

Duan Ren looked at the real house in front of him, smiled contemptuously, and shouted into the air as if explaining: "That woman has no face because you can't extend the appearance of that person, and it's because I sealed her up completely. out of your mind... Do you know how hard it is to completely forget someone? It's still such an important person, you don't even know... You inspire a fantasy that makes my brain work on its own, but that person is sealed in my head , you can’t extract it at all, let alone use it.”

There was a shocked voice in the air: "What the hell did you do?"

Duan Ren smiled, then raised his sleeve to wipe off the blood dripping from the corner of his lips, pushed open the door and walked out.

……

……

At the same time, in the duel arena, Duan Ren woke up, and his limp body stood up again.

On the opposite side of him, Uchiha Ling was so terrified that he couldn't be more frightened.

The corner of Duan Ren's mouth twitched slightly, and a very subtle voice sounded: "Not bad technique."

Uchiha Ling on the opposite side said in horror: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could someone be so determined?"

"Sorry, maybe I'm naturally cool."

Duan Ren's eyes were calm, and he said indifferently: "This is a good technique. No matter whether I move the knife or not, I will fall into your trap. If I don't use the knife to kill people, I will hesitate to move forward. If I use the knife to kill people, I will be lured step by step. In the end, I will still get lost in the illusion...but as long as I see through your illusion, it will become very simple...because this is not an illusion arranged by you, but an illusion led by me, and everyone in it is my brain You guide me to build all the illusions, I have to say that this method is very clever, but it is also very fragile."

"That woman?" Uchiha Ling asked in surprise.

"Do you know how hard it is to forget a person? It took me a long time to forget her face..."

"Why?" Blood flowed from Uchiha Ling's eyes.

Duan Ren did not answer, he would not tell others that he knew long ago that there is a technique that can read the memory in the human brain and make use of it. Some people are taboo here in Duan Ren and cannot be used, so they are simply sealed in the deepest part of the brain. place.

This has nothing to do with the sealing technique, as long as you work hard not to think of that person's face, it's easy to say, but difficult to do.
