Hokage: Ten-year-old Kaleidoscope, the beginning of betraying Konoha

conspiracy?

scam?

Want to fool yourself?

To protect Otsutsuki's lair?

For an instant.

Many speculations flashed through Natsume's mind.

There is no doubt that this is probably a scam!

An imaginary attempt to deceive oneself and allow oneself to terminate the black hole in order to preserve the lie of the mainland.

Otherwise, he would have already had a way to send himself into the [King City].

Why are you saying it now?

Do you really think you are easy to deceive?

"Tomoko, what do you think?"

"I can't see through this old guy..."

"Aren't you the same age as him?"

"How can it be the same?!!"

"..."

On the other side, Kyoshi naturally saw Natsume's scruples and suspicions.

Or rather.

Nothing real.

Even if it is really a lie, it cannot be trusted by others.

Soon, Xu Shi showed his sincerity.

He reached out and squeezed.

A stream of dark golden light flew out from the depths of the continent below at great speed.

It soon fell into his hands.

Natsume also instantly saw the true appearance of the golden light: an extremely simple and beautiful bronze mirror.

Naturally, Natsume didn't recognize him, but Tomoko, who had an exaggerated knowledge reserve, recognized him immediately.

Artifact: [Mirror of Zhenjingjin]!

Or say: [Yatata Mirror]

Of course, this is not the incorporeal spiritual weapon in the ninja world, but a real artifact!

"[Yata Mirror]?"

Tomoko explained: "One of the artifacts once possessed by the True God, the ancestor of Otsutsuki. According to records, it was lost in the first divine war."

did not expect.

It has been controlled by virtual style all this time?

In all these years, the virtual style has not been used even once?

And said yes.

This artifact has been stored in the body of the ancestor god, and now it can be taken out after the true god has recovered?

Tomoko knows everything that happened during these 10 years.

But I don’t know much about what happened before [God War].

After all, at that time, the [Ancestral Shrine] had not yet been built, and she had not been born...

"What is the specific effect of this artifact?"

"I don't know. But there should be eight different effects, each of which is above the authority of the law. Among the many [artifacts], they are also the most outstanding ones."

"As for what is left in the records, the three known abilities are [reversing damage] [turning virtuality into reality] [penetrating the world]..."

"So exaggerated? One piece is worth eight artifacts?"

Natsume couldn't help but be surprised.

Is the gap between artifacts so big?

"It's different. This kind of auxiliary artifact has more natural functions, and the conditions for use are much more stringent."

"In terms of the effect of a single ability, it is not as powerful as the partitioning power of [Thousand Leading Stones]."

Natsume understood.

Isn't it the difference between a 'multifunctional dagger' and a 'tactical dagger'?

Many functions and practicality in one.

One material is good and powerful enough.

But this is not the point.

The point is, can this [Yata Mirror] really help me bypass the [Wedge-shaped Barrier] and directly enter the royal city?

...

Xu Shi held the [Yatata Mirror] in his hand and gave the answer.

"If you activate this magical mirror, you can move between any two mirrors."

"Ignore space, ignore boundaries, ignore any constraints..."

"To put it simply, you can use it to easily pass through the barrier and enter the royal city."

The divine mirror only emits light and has no other magical properties.

Hard to believe.

With just it, you can easily pass through the [wedge-shaped barrier] that is comparable to a world barrier.

"Xun Shi, do you think you have credibility?"

An old cunt who has been wearing a vest for hundreds of thousands of years has no credibility at all.

Of course, Natsume couldn't believe it easily.

The reason why we talk nonsense is just to delay more time.

Anyway, the black hole continues to expand, which does not affect the progress of the plan.

In this regard, virtual methods are also very simple and crude.

next moment.

With a wave of his hand, he directly sent the [Yatata Mirror] in front of Natsume.

"What do you mean?"

"Delivery first, payment later?"

Xu Shi continued: "You can try it yourself and see if you can use it to enter the royal city."

Natsume was a little suspicious.

A precious [artifact] was just handed over to me?

Do you really think you will return it to him after you use it?

Aren't you afraid that you will be cheated?

and.

Look how confident he is.

Could it be that he really wasn't lying and that this magical mirror could really pass through the realm?

"At what cost?"

"Abandon your current plan, give up continuing to expand this dark star..."

Natsume became more and more puzzled.

What is the price?

As long as you can enter the [King City], there is no control or energy injection of your own.The black hole outside will soon disappear on its own.

If you think about it this way, it’s just free prostitution!

Natsume: "Abandon Dark Star and let go of the entire continent?"

Xu Shi: "There is no mortal grudge between us."

"It's fair to trade one artifact for the entire continent, right?"

"In a sense, you still make money."

"Besides, even if you persist and use the Dark Star to devour the entire royal city, I don't think it will necessarily interrupt the ceremony of our Majesty's becoming a god, right?"

"And you yourself will surely die!"

Natsume was silent.

What the virtual type says makes sense.

His black hole devouring plan was originally a desperate strategy that would hurt both sides.

The best ending is just to sacrifice himself and save An Mitsuha.

The worst outcome is that King Zhenruo becomes a god and is annihilated along with most of the Shiyuan Realm.

If you can really get through the barrier, go directly to block King Zhenruo.

Either way, the results are much better than the above two.

And he might even be able to survive!

Analyze from a rational perspective.

This is indeed the best option.

I'm afraid, Xu Shi also saw this point clearly, and then put forward such an attractive condition.

He even gave away an [artifact] for free!

It seems that I have no reason to refuse?

...

Natsume didn't agree immediately.

Instead, he asked: "I want to know the reason?"

Kyoshi replied: "As Otsutsuki, I don't want to see my home devoured by the Dark Star. Do I need a reason?"

"I do not believe."

"Are you worried that the swallowing of the Dark Star will affect the awakening of your ancestor?"

“There’s some element of that.”

"However, rather than betting on whether our Majesty will choose to give up the opportunity to become a god, I feel that sending you in will pose a greater threat to him."

Virtual style is quite calm.

Since it is a conspiracy, there is no need to hide it.

If he was not sure, how could he give away an [artifact]?

Natsume hesitated.

The reasons given by the other party are very sufficient.

If you change yourself into a virtual form, there is a high probability that you will choose this way.

It can not only prevent our continent from being swallowed by the black hole; it can also send Natsume into the royal city to prevent King Shinwako from becoming a god;

Although the price is to pay an artifact.

But relative to the losses, the gains have been substantial.

No wonder the other party just jumped out now.

Before, he must have been secretly spying on himself to see if he could successfully invade the royal city?

If it works, it will save me one less [artifact].

But now the situation has suddenly changed. Natsume is not willing to create a black hole in an attempt to destroy both. This is really crazy.

This forced Xu Shi to show up and interfere.

And Natsume knew very well that Kyoshi was still using him.

Use yourself to hinder [True King].

Even giving away this artifact is nothing more than a compromise and a disguised use.

But so what?

On the other hand, he was just using the Kyoshi and the power of the council to rescue An Mitsuha.

As long as he can really pass through the barrier and enter the royal city.

Nothing else matters.

...

The exchange of thoughts between the two parties was very fast, lasting only about twenty seconds.

But Natsume had to admit that she was moved.

Especially such an [artifact], floating quietly in front of him.

You can control it, get it, use it without paying any price...

There is really no reason to refuse!

"Tomoko, what do you think?"

"I don't know the effect of [Yata Mirror], so I can't accurately estimate it."

"Do you think what Xu Shi said is true?"

"His words must contain lies. But no matter what his calculations are, judging from the existing conditions, there is no harm in you giving it a try..."

"How long is it until the one-hour limit?"

"There are still 21 minutes and 36 seconds..."

"In other words, even if I fail, I still have enough time to create another black hole?"

"Theoretically yes."

Tomoko's answer made Natsume make a decision.

...
