Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 531 Ah Fei's Life

White Zetsu are creatures that, in essence, have no emotions.

Although they sometimes seem to have their own personalities—some are funny, some are gloomy, some are talkative, and some are silent—that is just a facade.

Just like puppets that are pulled by strings to make various movements, they do not have a true self.

There is no desire, no obsession, no concept of "I want" or "I don't want".

For Kaguya Otsutsuki, this creature was the best soldier. Absolutely obedient, without ulterior motives, incapable of betrayal, and could be produced in unlimited numbers.

Of course, this doesn't mean they'll listen to anyone.

The authority to make them obey exists in only two things.

Gedo Mazo and Rinnegan.

Moreover, those eyes must truly belong to the person who transplanted them. It's not that anyone can command them simply by transplanting the Rinnegan—if that were the case, Nagato would have countless White Zetsu at his service long ago.

But the truth is, Nagato never commanded any White Zetsu.

Because those Rinnegan belong to Uchiha Madara.

Therefore, after Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away, the White Zetsu obeyed Madara's will, not his eyes or his power, but the will of that person himself.

But now—Uchiha Madara is dead, and Uchiha Obito, who inherited Madara's will, is also dead.

Those beings who could command the White Zetsu are all gone.

Therefore, the remaining White Zetsu in the world have fallen into a state of idleness.

There were no orders, no goals, and no reason for existence.

They just wandered around, not knowing what to do or where to go.

Among this group of White Zetsu, there is one special existence.

White Zetsu Afei.

It is absolutely different from other white ones.

When Madara Uchiha created it, he injected Hashirama cells into its body. Those vital cells from Hashirama Senju gave it something else—an independent personality closer to that of a human.

So Ah Fei developed his own temper, his own thoughts, his own... Although he was quite silly, these were definitely his own things.

It will slack off when performing tasks, talk to itself when bored, and play by itself when no one pays attention to it.

It even made a friend.

Obito Uchiha.

The boy Madara rescued from the ruins, the boy who struggled in the darkness for a long time, the boy who finally put on the vortex mask and became "Uchiha Madara".

Ah Fei stayed with him for a long time.

Accompany him as he emerges from that dark cave, accompany him through those dark days, and do those crazy things with him.

Then, Obito died too.

The master is dead, and so is the friend.

Tobi returned to the cave where he had once lived with Madara and the severely injured Obito.

A person.

As for continuing to carry out the master's will, to capture the tailed beasts, and to complete the "Eye of the Moon Plan"?

Ah Fei knows himself quite well.

First, it is implanted with Hashirama cells, making it more human-like than other White Zetsu. But precisely because it is human-like, it is also more aware of its own limitations.

Capture a tailed beast? It can't even defeat one.

If it can't even beat one of them, let alone the others.

Moreover, Afei doesn't have the thousand-year obsession of Black Zetsu, nor does he have the "grand ideal" of Madara.

For Afei, "catching the tailed beast" was too much trouble.

Nothing is as comfortable as sunbathing, as fun as digging a burrow, or as enjoyable as playing with small animals.

So even if he lived alone in this empty cave, Ah Fei could still find fun.

Afei thinks he has a very interesting day, but it's not lively and he's a little lonely.

morning.

The sun had just risen, and sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the cave ceiling, casting a thin beam of light on the ground.

Ah Fei emerged from the ground.

It sleeps in a very special way—it burrows directly into the soil and buries itself, like a seed waiting to sprout.

"Ah~ it's a new day~"

It reached out and rubbed the spot on its face where there was no eye at all.

"The sun's shining on my butt~ Huh?"

It lowered its head and looked at its own white, shapeless lower body.

Where's my butt?

I was stunned for three seconds.

"Oh right, I'm a White Zetsu, I don't have a butt..."

It tilted its swirling head, then turned around and waved at the empty coffin in the corner of the cave.

"Good morning, Lord Madara!"

Ah Fei shouted in that cheerful, carefree tone.

"Today is another day without you~!"

Of course, there will be no response.

Afei didn't care. It hopped and skipped to the other side of the cave, where there was a simple shelf made of stones with a calendar it had picked up from an abandoned village on it.

"What day is it today...?"

It opened the calendar, stared at the numbers and words it couldn't quite understand, and studied them carefully for a long time.

"……never mind."

It closed the calendar.

"Anyway, nobody celebrates my birthday."

It stood there, silent for three seconds.

Then suddenly he jumped up excitedly!

"Then I'll celebrate my own birthday—! Happy birthday, Ah Fei—!"

It shouted loudly, its voice echoing through the cave.

Happy birthday, Ah Fei!

Happy birthday, Ah Fei!

Happy birthday, Ah Fei!

The echo gradually faded away.

The cave returned to silence.

Afei stood still, gazing at the empty surroundings.

"...It's so deserted."

------

It doesn't need to eat, so it saves you the trouble of cooking.

But precisely because it doesn't need to eat, it also has fewer things to do.

So Afei decided to go out for a stroll.

Make some friends.

It emerged from the cave, passed through the forest it had traversed countless times, and arrived at a wide-open meadow.

A wild boar was rooting around in the dirt, looking for something to eat.

Hello!

Ah Fei skipped and hopped over, greeting him in the most enthusiastic tone.

"My name is Afei! Can we be friends?"

The wild boar raised its head and glanced at it.

Then continue to bend down and dig into the soil.

"I can turn into a female wild boar!"

As Afei spoke, his body began to wriggle, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a wild boar that looked exactly like the one in the story.

The wild boar raised its head again and glanced at it.

Then continue to bend down and dig into the soil.

"Then I'll turn into a mushroom that wild boars love to eat!"

Ah Fei transformed again, turning into a brightly colored, delicious-looking giant mushroom, rolling around on the ground.

The wild boar finally stopped moving.

It stared at the rolling mushroom for a long time.

Then it turned and left.

Ah Fei reverted to his original form, watching the wild boar's departing figure, and muttered to himself.

"...Do you think I talk too much?"

The wild boar ignored it, so Afei decided to play by himself.

It split into several versions of itself, each taking on a different form.

"Hello everyone~ I'm Rabbit Afei~!"

A white Zetsu with long ears hopped and skipped around.

"I'm Squirrel Fei~!"

A white Zetsu with a fluffy tail hopped around in the tree.

"I'm Tanuki Tobi~!"

A round, white Zetsu rolled around on the ground.

"I'm Afei, Afei~!"

A Fei, unchanged, stood in the middle, looking at the other versions of himself.

Then, the group of hooligans started playing together.

They chased each other, jumped around, chattered and made a lot of noise.

Ten seconds later.

They stopped.

"...a bunch of people playing by themselves."

The guy in the middle sighed.

"I'm so tired."

Ah Fei decided to try his luck in another place.

It ran to the entrance of a village and transformed into the shape of a child.

Hello everyone!

It waved its hand and shouted in the cutest voice.

"I'm newbie Afei~! It's our first time meeting, so I'm treating everyone to ramen today~!"

Several children from the village gathered around, their eyes sparkling.

"Really?!"

"Really, really!"

Afei nodded vigorously.

Then it added loudly.

"...But I have no money."

The children were stunned.

Then, they dispersed in a flurry, and Ah Fei stood alone, staring blankly at the children who had run away.

Then it ran behind a big tree, squatted down, hugged its knees, and muttered to itself pitifully, "I just wanted someone to talk to..."

I squatted for about three seconds.

It stood up, dusted off non-existent dust, and resumed its carefree demeanor.

"Never mind, never mind~ Let's go home, let's go home!"

night.

Ah Fei lay in the cave, gazing at the patch of night sky visible through the cracks above him.

The stars are twinkling, they're beautiful.

It is happy because it has a wonderful companion.

That's Obito Uchiha's mask...

That was a tiger-striped mask; Obito stopped using it a long, long time ago.

But Ah Fei kept it and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the cave.

In Tobi's mind, this mask is Obito himself.

"Obito".

It spoke softly to the mask.

Where are you now?

no respond.

"Heaven or hell? Or are you like me, in some place no one knows?"

It rolled over and hugged the mask to its chest.

"How about I die too, and join you?"

There was a moment of silence.

"no."

It shook its head.

"If you die, there will really be no one to mourn you."

It hugged the mask even tighter.

Goodnight, Obito~

See you tomorrow~

Five seconds later.

"...No, we won't see him tomorrow either."

It tossed and turned.

"I won't see him the day after tomorrow... I won't see him the day after that either..."

Suddenly, it sat up.

Facing the night sky above the cave and the round moon, I asked loudly.

"Moon, moon—! Can you see Obito—!"

The moon is silent.

Of course, it won't speak.

"You're so useless!"

Ah Fei pointed at the moon and shouted angrily.

"He can't even speak!"

The moon remained silent.

Ah Fei stared at the moon for a long time.

Then, its voice suddenly became very soft.

"...I'm sorry, I was wrong."

It lowered its head and bowed deeply towards the moon.

You are more lonely than I am.

The moon hung quietly in the sky, casting a cool, clear light.

Ah Fei lay down again, hugged the mask to his chest, and gazed at the starry sky.

Let's be lonely together.

It said softly.

"Moon Friend".

This is Ah Fei's daily life.

Day after day, year after year.

It had seen it in a book it found in a human village. The book said that its behavior was pitiful; it had no friends, no family, no home, and could only talk to itself and play by itself.

But Afei didn't think so; he felt that his life was quite enjoyable.

Sleep when you want, play when you want, become whatever you want.

Nobody cared about it, nobody scolded it, nobody ordered it to do this or that.

How good.

And so, Ah Fei lived this peaceful life all by himself.

until that day.

That day, a power that made it tremble suddenly came from the direction of Konoha Village.

All the White Zetsu who were still alive sensed it; it was the power of the newly born Rinnegan.

Awakening is happening in that direction.
