I was a ninja in Konoha

Chapter 244 End
"Hey! Don't run away! We must find you."

Kuruma Yakumo flew in front, and Naruto Uzumaki chased after him.

Through corridor after corridor, the last four people came to a room.

The room wasn't burning like it was outside, but everything inside was red.

"Don't come here! I don't want to see my monster! Don't see me! Please! I don't want to see that monster! Don't!"

Kurama Yakumo curled up in the corner of the room with a family portrait in her arms. As her voice became louder, the temperature of the whole room gradually increased.

"Hey! Calm down! My father said that the bad dog teacher will not fool around when he does things. He is very kind. Let us come here and let us help you."

Naruto tried to subdue Kurama Yakumo with his low-level mouth escape, but his mouth escape was not powerful enough.

"Don't force me! That monster is too scary, I don't want to see him. Go away! Go away!"

Kurama Yakumo's tears dripped down his cheeks, and on the ground, traces of white mist rose from where the tears fell.

"Naruto! Be careful."

"Naruto-kun, you have to be careful."

Seeing that Naruto was about to step forward again, Sako and Hinata saw something was wrong at the same time, and said in unison.

"It's all right! Our friends need our help."

Naruto turned his head and smiled sweetly, stepped on the air in the next step, and fell into the magma.

"Ahhh!"

At the very moment, Sako jumped forward and grabbed Naruto's left hand. Hinata moved slowly, but tightly held Sako's legs.

"Cock!"

Naruto looked at the bubbling magma under his feet, and he didn't dare to move.

"Naruto-kun! Sako-chan! Hold on tight, drink!"

Hinata exerted a strong force, and Sako Naruto turned into two graceful arcs.

That's right, Sako was caught off guard and let go, and she landed beside Hinata, while Naruto was thrown to the top of Kurama Yakumo.

"Oh!"

Naruto fell from a height and knocked Kurama Yakumo down. Coincidentally, his shaking hands snatched the portrait from Kurama Yakumo's arms.

Kurama Yakumo successfully passed out after being hit on the head, and the surrounding environment returned to normal.

"Hey, are you okay, sorry."

Naruto rubbed his head and was about to apologize, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the changed portrait: a little girl who burned her parents to death with flames.

"This this"

"Naruto, are you alright!"

"Sir Naruto!"

Sako and Hinata ran over quickly, Hinata lowered her head sadly, tears welling in her eyes:

"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, I"

"Come and see, is this little girl her?"

Naruto took out the portrait, put it in front of the two, pointed to the pommel horse Yakumo and asked:

"And when I saw this portrait for the first time, it was a photo of her and her parents."

"Then this photo means that she killed her parents?"

After Sako finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head, Kurama Yakumo was silently watching them, and her eyes were already as black as ink.

"No, go back!"

"You're all going to die! Ho ho ho!"

Kuruma Yakumo waved his hand, and tongues of flame burst out from the walls of the entire house, lashing towards the three of them mercilessly.

"Idiot, wake up quickly!"

Uzumaki Naruto picked up the portrait, let the surrounding flames sweep his body, rushed towards Kurama Yakumo, and sent her flying with a punch.

Immediately afterwards, Naruto put the portrait in front of her:
"Be sober, do they expect you to do this!"

At this moment, Naruto burst into tears.

He finally understood why Rong Jun always asked him to imagine him as an orphan: no one cares about him, no one cares for him, no one understands him, his thoughts will become distorted, he will hate the world, and he will be in his heart. A terrible monster is born.

"Kurama Yakumo, please, wake up!"

"tick"

"tick"

Kurama Yakumo stretched out his hand and hugged the portrait in his arms, tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes, but left echoes in the room.

And with tears dripping down, the surrounding flames dissipated again, Kurama Yakumo raised his head, with only guilt on his face, and the portrait became the one that Naruto saw for the first time - the only family portrait.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I."

"It turns out that you are all here, which just saves me from looking for them one by one."

Shikamaru led the women's army to the battlefield, and saw the family portrait in Kurama Yakumo's arms and understood everything.

"Hey, you are all here, where is that monster?"

Naruto asked curiously.

"A few of them are holding back the monster, and I know the weakness of that monster, so I came here to find someone who can solve that monster."

Nara Shikamaru explained the matter in a few words, and then looked at Kurama Yakumo who was huddled in a ball and wept silently:

"Well, only you can deal with that monster."

"I know, but, that's the only thing my parents left me."

Kurama Yakumo looked up at the photo in his arms, the smiles of the three people inside were so warm.

Her heart was hesitating, and only confusion remained after the pain.

"Only if you dare to face it, its power will weaken. It is a manifestation of your will. Only when you have figured everything out will it disappear and return to its original appearance."

Nara Shikamaru was stunned suddenly, and a manuscript suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was prompted to read the words on it.

"The original appearance?"

Kurama Yakumo looked at Nara Shikamaru suspiciously, wondering what he meant by what he said.

The corner of Nara Shikamaru's mouth twitched, his brain was working fast, and he understood everything.

"Teacher Rong Jun said that extreme emotions will endow Chakra with magical power, and complex extreme emotions may endow Chakra with life."

"And this life, which seems to have nothing to do with you, is actually controlled by your thoughts. It represents the reality you escape from."

"Your parents didn't leave you, they just changed the way to accompany you, but because of guilt and pain, you gave them another appearance, and kept avoiding them."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Are you saying that the monsters are my parents, and the reason they turned into this way is because I'm afraid?"

"Go and see, you'll know if you don't."

Nara Shikamaru's voice hadn't finished yet, the inner demon had already flew over Neji and others in a string, and stopped firmly in front of Kurama Yakumo.

Seeing the hand extended by the monster, Kurama Yakumo couldn't bear the excitement anymore, let go of the portrait in his hand, and galloped away like a demon.

And at the moment when Kuruma Yakumo hugged the demon, all the flames in the illusion stopped, and everything returned to its original appearance.

The portrait turned into a beam of light, floating above the monster's head, shattering bit by bit.

And the monster was in this light, puffs of black smoke came out of its body, and finally turned into two people, a man and a woman.

"Eight clouds."

"Yakumo!"

"Mom and Dad! Woohoo! I finally see you again."
