Naruto's death?
Upon hearing this news, Naruto was completely stunned.
After a long silence, he burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Granny Tsunade, are you joking? What do you want with me?"
However, after he said this, both Tsunade and Kakashi looked grave.
Naruto immediately sensed something was wrong with her appearance and the oppressive atmosphere around her.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's not like I'll actually die just because someone says I'm going to die, is it?!"
Although Naruto wasn't afraid of death, the thought of suddenly dying for no reason made him feel uneasy and itchy all over.
"You should know that the person who said you would die is the Miko of the Land of Demons. Her prophecies over the years have never been wrong; once she foretold it, it will eventually happen."
Tsunade said in a very serious tone.
This startled Naruto.
"I... Kakashi-sensei, you two really aren't working together to trick me, are you?"
He looked at Kakashi expectantly.
Kakashi scratched his head. "Well, I wanted to tell you it was fake, but this time it's real."
"Oh no! Even Kakashi-sensei said so!"
Naruto Uzumaki was pressed against the wall, looking utterly dejected.
"Alright, I have another task for you."
What mission?
Naruto was confused. He had been prophesied to die, so shouldn't he be properly handling his affairs? No, shouldn't he be staying in the village?
"Go to the Land of Demons to protect the Shion."
"What? I'll protect her?"
Naruto's eyes widened. "Isn't it me who's going to die? I'm about to die, and you want me to protect her!"
Tsunade said, "Don't rush, let me explain slowly."
"The Miko of the Land of Demons has never made a mistake in her prophecies; whoever she predicts will die, will die. However, there is a way to prevent the prophesied subject from dying."
"That means staying away from the Miko, so the prophecy will be invalid."
"Huh?" Naruto was even more confused. "That Granny Tsunade sent me to get close to the Miko, do you want me to die?!"
He pointed at Tsunade in a panic, "The most poisonous heart is that of a woman!"
Tsunade bulged with barely visible veins of anger. "Shut up, I haven't finished speaking."
"However, if you distance yourself from the Miko, Miko will pay with her life."
What does "the cost of life" mean?
"It means the Miko herself will die in your place."
"Huh? How can there be such a bizarre rule? I don't believe it!"
Naruto would rather others die because of him than die himself, even though such things as fate and prophecy seem very vague and unrealistic.
"But that's the truth. All the Miko of the Land of Demons have been like this," Tsunade said earnestly. "As for the prophecy of this generation's Miko, many of those around her have already died."
"They won't leave the Miko?"
"Yes, they know they're about to die by the Miko's side, yet they still choose to stay, as if dying for Miko. It's their mission as Land of Demons member Miko."
"What kind of bullshit mission is this? I don't understand it at all."
Naruto was slightly angry.
Why must someone die on both sides, and why must they be burdened with the belief that they died for their own sake?
"In that case, both the Shion and her guards will feel guilty!"
"There's no other way; that's just how things are in the Land of Land of Demons. They need to suppress the Demon Land of Demons, and suppressing Demon requires the power of the Miko. Once those Demon are released, the entire Shinobi World will be in turmoil."
Tsunade said seriously.
"Therefore, I need you, Naruto, to go to Shion's side. However, if you are unwilling, I will not force you, because life is ultimately determined by oneself, and besides, you are still..."
Tsunade did not continue speaking the second half of her sentence.
She didn't want Naruto to know about the Nine-Tails Fox so soon, even though the Akatsuki Organization had already begun capturing the Tailed Beast.
However, they were scattered by Kanami before they even entered the village. The Akatsuki Organization had already disbanded, so there was no need to tell Naruto about this.
After all, the injustice Naruto suffered from being treated differently throughout his life, once ignited, is a very difficult thing to handle, as many people will have to keep quiet about it.
Let nature take its course.
She sighed inwardly.
Naruto clenched his fists. "Since life is determined by oneself, then I will decide my own destiny."
"Hmm, I'm not going..."
"Oh my god, I want to go to the Miko of the Land of Demons of Demons."
Naruto's gaze was resolute.
Tsunade was stunned.
She thought Naruto was going to say he wasn't going.
She smiled, "As expected of the fourth..."
"Cough cough." Kakashi suddenly coughed.
Tsunade realized what was happening and quickly shut up.
He revealed that he almost became the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
"Kakashi-sensei, why are you coughing?"
Naruto asked.
"It's nothing, just a bit of a cold."
"Since you're willing to go, then this mission will be assigned to your Team 7."
Tsunade turned to Kakashi, "Kakashi!"
"Exist!"
"The task of protecting the Miko Land of Demons sealing away the Demon in the Land of Demons is entrusted to Team 7!"
"Yes."
"However, during this time, there is another mission: to protect Naruto and break the prophecy that has been passed down through generations in the Land of Demons!"
"Yes!"
Kakashi answered seriously.
"Alright, you guys go ahead and get ready. I'll find you a helper to go with you in a bit."
"Help? Who is it?"
Naruto asked curiously.
You'll find out in a moment.
Tsunade's lips curled slightly.
In her view, only that one person could change the prophecy of Naruto's death.
The man who changed Jiraiya's fate.
Kanami's Residence.
A member of the Anbu landed in the courtyard and, seeing Hinata Hyuga cleaning there, went to her side.
"Hinata -san, Kanami there?"
Hinata Hyuga of the voice, "Hello, Lord Elephant Kanami, I'm here."
She turned and called into the house, "Kanami, Lord Elephant is here to see you."
"Whoosh--"
You were looking for me?
Kanami immediately appeared beside him, teleported by the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The elephant was immediately startled.
Elephant nodded. "Yes, Lord Hokage has something to ask of you."
Kanami raised an eyebrow.
This wording means the Lord Hokage has something to ask him.
That's a bit too outrageous.
"I see."
Kanami turned to look at Hinata, but before he could speak, Hinata Hyuga smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, go ahead, what can I do when my husband is such a busy man?"
"I'm leaving now. I'll come back in a bit and tell you what it is."
After speaking to Hinata, Kanami placed his hand on the elephant's back and said, "Let's go."
"Whoosh--"
Before Xiang could answer, the two of them had already arrived outside the Hokage's Office.
Of course, you can send it directly, but that's not very polite.
"Lord Hokage, Kanami and I are back."
The elephant knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Tsunade's voice came from inside, and then Xiang and Kanami entered the office.
Then, as if acting on its own, it closed the door and left.
"Lord Hokage."
Kanami greeted him.
"I need your help again today..."
Tsunade said somewhat embarrassedly.
Although it had been a long time since what happened between her and Kanami, she still harbored some resentment in her heart.
If it weren't for the special circumstances, she really wouldn't want to trouble Kanami anymore.
The other party has already done a lot for Konoha Village.
It could even be said that no matter which village Kanami goes to now, he will be able to significantly improve his status, at the very least ranking as the second-best village in the Shinobi World.
Kanami said, "Go ahead and speak, it's no trouble at all. I'm also a member of Konoha."
"Alright, you'll need to go to the Land of Demons and join Kakashi's Team 7 to help the Land of Demons Shion seal away the Demon, while also ensuring Naruto's safety as much as possible."
Upon hearing this, Kanami quickly realized what it meant.
Naruto's death!
He nodded. "Okay, I agree, but I have one condition."
Tsunade asked, "What are the conditions?"
