Konoha Village.
Inside a certain restaurant.
The decoration and furnishings of this restaurant are exactly the same as the one in the anime, Ramen Ichiraku. It is a storefront with an open door. Just a few pieces of fabric are hanging on the store’s entrance to cover the sun or the situation in the restaurant.
At this time, Li Yaoxiang was cooking all kinds of food in front of customers sitting side by side.
His connection with Naruto is like eating food and chatting with friends. It just depends on whether he wants to focus on tasting food carefully. And it’s very useful. His connection with Naruto can’t affect his daily life and various normal activities at all.
He has been in this state for the past few years since he got to this world.
At the beginning, only his fleshy body transmigrated here. Not only his appearance but his age has not changed. Even the name is the same. The system gave him such identity.
A certain parents died, leaving this restaurant free to take. So, he took it to not arouse suspicion from others. But because of his new identity, he always has a lot of constraints when it comes to darkening Naruto.
After all, Konoha is way too exposed.
Konoha Village is indeed too dangerous for an ordinary person. Not to mention that Konoha Village is a disaster-prone place. There’s a lot of chasing and fighting between those ‘ninjas and spies’. It became a great disaster for an ordinary person like him. Because he didn’t know when or in which direction would there be so many shurikens or boulders that could suddenly smash him to death.
Living here is far more dangerous than what the anime makes it to be.
Despite having many darkening points, he can easily improve his strength and avoid these unpredictable dangers. How can he casually increase his strength or exchange various self-defense items when he is in Konoha? You need to know whether a person has chakras in his body.
If an ordinary person like him has a refined Chakra; wouldn’t that be suspicious?
This is no different from looking for death!
Even if he was really that reckless and even if he could really explain it clearly in front of a group of Konoha ninjas or managed to escape alive, Li Yaoxiang would not do it. After all, if Naruto knew about him in advance because of this, it would be worth the loss. Perhaps the entire darkening plan might fail because of this. This was one of the reasons why Li Yaoxiang has not used the darkening point.
This was why the most important thing for Li Yaoxiang, who just transmigrated to this world, is to leave Konoha as soon as possible!
Stay away from danger! Stay away from Naruto!
‘It’s a pity that I have to leave Konoha.’
For an ordinary person, it was far more difficult than expected. Because he was not the only one who has this idea. Many Konoha civilians actually want to leave this dangerous place.
After all, living in Konoha Village, except for the civilians who were born and raised in Konoha, other people actually don’t have too much sense of belonging to Konoha. Otherwise, With this number of people in Konoha Village, it is impossible to survive one disaster after another and still maintain a certain number of residents. Therefore, if there is no suitable reason, Konoha can’t let people in and out at will.
In addition, Konoha is the military base of the Land of Fire*. The base is definitely more rigorous than other places in terms of ‘in and out’. It can be said that it is easy to come in and difficult to come out.
[*TL note: The Land of Fire (Hi no Kuni) is one of the largest and most powerful countries seen and is the home of the main characters of the series. Its government leader is the Fire Daimyō. The Land of Fire was the first country to adopt a ninja village, Konohagakure, a custom other countries would soon adopt. The Land of Fire is appropriately oriented towards the element of fire, typically having very bright and warm weather. While not the physically largest country, it has the largest hidden village.]
Therefore, before this, Li Yaoxiang’s main body did not dare to act rashly and had been acting in a low-key manner, looking for opportunities. He didn’t want to attract the attention of the senior management. Nor did he want to attract Naruto’s attention.
As for Naruto, will his life be threatened because of the ‘butterfly effect’?
Haha! Li Yaoxiang has never worried about this issue.
Naruto was the only Jinchuriki of Konoha Village! As long as Naruto did not behave too abnormally or was hostile to the village, then the two old fellows, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, would not do anything Naruto! They needed Naruto’s strength to shake up other villages!
Moreover, Li Yaoxiang was familiar with the original work plot. He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and the others almost put all their minds on the incident of ‘Uchiha Clan Rebellion’. Do you think they want to take care of Naruto right now?
This was why Li Yaoxiang dared to tell the truth to Naruto brazenly. And the only thing he needed to worry about was whether Naruto will be imprisoned or brainwashed because of the ‘butterfly effect’. Of course, Li Yaoxiang was not unprepared for Naruto to be in such a difficult situation.
Isn’t saving the darkening points the best solution? After all, in addition to permanent items, system malls can also buy one-time items. For example, ‘One-time Kotoamatsukami’, ‘One-time Izanagi’, and so on. The price is much cheaper than the permanent one.
Of course, Li Yaoxiang didn’t think to use ‘One-time Kotoamatsukami’ to completely darken Naruto and complete the mission. It’s just that the system clearly told him that this kind of wicked method is not feasible. The system will not increase Naruto’s darkening degree using that option. Therefore, the best way is to keep these darkening points in case of unexpected situations.
In case something really went wrong, there would be a way to remedy it. Because even the “brainwashing myth”, Kotoamatsukami’s ability, is actually not impossible to crack.
In the First Type approach, he can inform Naruto of the Kotoamatsukami’s ability in advance. Let Naruto record his memory and thoughts in advance, then Li Yaoxiang can try to use this record afterward to wake up Naruto. After all, the ability of ‘Kotoamatsukami’ is not invincible. It only changes a person’s memory and thinking, not a person’s IQ.
To break free, the simplest solution is to slap the hypnotized person. It’s like when a person’s thinking is changed after being slapped from the bottom of their heart, which is very refreshing and painless.
But when one really feels the taste of being slapped, it may feel strange.
Of course, suppose this method does not work. In that case, you can use the second method, which is to divert the attention of the owner of Kotoamatsukami, so that they do not use their precious opportunity of ‘Kotoamatsukami’ on Naruto. Because, as far as Li Yaoxiang knows, Kotoamatsukami has a cooldown.
As for the issue of being imprisoned, it’s much simpler for Li Yaoxiang! Li Yaoxiang has already prepared for this, and he should not worry too much.
Therefore, based on the above various reasons, coupled with enough darkening points, it was time for Li Yaoxiang to implement his plan to leave Konoha…
