Chapter 219 Return to Ninja World

Naruto nodded slightly, and felt quite relieved when he saw how powerful Kimimaro was now.

"Kimaro, you've made great progress. It seems like you haven't wasted these past two years."

Kimimaro said modestly: "It is all because of your cultivation that I have achieved what I have today."

He recalled the past two years of cultivation, which was full of hardships and challenges, but it was these experiences that allowed him to constantly break through himself and become stronger.

Naruto sighed softly, his eyes full of satisfaction and appreciation. "I was right about him."

Then Naruto continued to say to Kimimaro: "Kimimaro, pack up. Something big is about to happen in the ninja world. We should go back."

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro immediately straightened up, his expression solemn. "Yes, sir. I will prepare it right away." He turned and left quickly, starting to organize his belongings and equipment.

Naruto looked at Kimimaro's back, thought for a moment, and then put all the little tailed beasts into the tailed beast belt.

The moment those little guys were taken in, they all let out low moans of reluctance, but Naruto ignored them all.

Afterwards, Naruto put Goku into the system copy again and carefully arranged what to do for him.

After doing all this, Naruto took one last look at the Medicine King Hall, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart.

Two years have passed, and my strength has grown a lot. I wonder how those guys in the village are doing now.

He took a deep breath, turned around resolutely, and walked towards the depths of Mount Myoboku.

He knew that he was leaving Myobokusan and naturally had to say goodbye to Fukasaku and Shima.

Finally, Naruto arrived at the residence of Fukasaku and Shima. The two toad sages were pleased to see Naruto.

"Naruto, are you leaving?" Fukasaku asked.

Naruto bowed respectfully, "Yes, Grandpa Fukasaku, Granny Shima. Something big is about to happen in the ninja world, I have to go back."

Shima nodded slightly, "We know you have your mission. Go, little Naruto, Myoboku Mountain will always have your back."

Naruto felt warm inside, "Thank you, Grandma. I will definitely work hard to protect the ninja world and live up to your expectations."

Then Naruto took out two talismans and handed them to Fukasaku and Shima solemnly, saying, "Grandpa Fukasaku, Granny Shima. This is the boundary-breaking talisman. If you encounter trouble in the Hidden Rain Village in the future, tear this talisman into pieces."

After all, Naruto only knew that Jiraiya would go to the Hidden Rain Village to gather information in the future, but he didn't know the exact time.

Giving the Boundary Breaking Talisman to Fukasaku and Shima now is also a secret plan for the future.

These two talismans are now bound to him. As long as any one of them tears the talisman into pieces, he will sense it instantly and appear at the fastest speed.

Fukasaku and Shima took the talisman and looked at Naruto's serious expression, feeling a warm feeling in their hearts.

Although they didn't know why Naruto said that they would go to the Hidden Rain Village in the future, they could feel the importance of the matter by looking at Naruto's serious expression.

Fukasaku nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Naruto, don't worry, I will. You should take care of yourself too." Shima also echoed: "That's right, Naruto. You are shouldering an important mission, you must protect yourself."

Naruto looked at the two toad sages and was deeply moved. He knew that Fukasaku and Shima had been silently supporting him all along.

"Grandpa Fukasaku, Grandma Shima, I will try my best. I will come back to see you when things are resolved." Naruto said firmly.

Then, Naruto bowed to Fukasaku and Shima again and walked away.

His figure gradually walked away, leaving Fukasaku and Shima standing there, looking in the direction he left, their hearts full of anticipation.

A few days later, Naruto and Kimimaro arrived at Orochimaru's lair.

The surrounding environment was eerie and strange, filled with a chilling atmosphere.

The moment Naruto's perception was released, Orochimaru's aura of natural spirit instantly appeared within Naruto's perception range.

Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he sensed Orochimaru's breath, he did not hesitate at all, pulled Kimimaro, and instantly used teleportation to appear next to Orochimaru.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the silence was so intense that it made people feel uneasy. A hint of surprise suddenly flashed across Orochimaru's narrow eyes.

Obviously, he had never expected that someone would appear so suddenly in his secret base.

When he focused his attention and saw clearly who was coming, the figure at this moment gradually overlapped with the figure two years ago, and memories came flooding back like a tide.

Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an extremely strange smile, which seemed to contain countless unpredictable secrets.

"Naruto, I didn't expect you could find this place." His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the bottom of a dark and deep abyss, with a chilling and eerie aura, as if just hearing this voice was enough to make people's backs unconsciously cold, as if a cold snake was slowly crawling on their spine.

Naruto couldn't help but frown when he heard Orochimaru's voice.

Then, he slowly walked to a chair and sat down calmly, but his eyes were still fixed on Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, your voice really makes me uncomfortable." There was a hint of disgust in Naruto's words, and his deep voice revealed his dislike for Orochimaru.

Then he asked directly, "Where are Sasuke and Kabuto?" His tone was full of urgency and questioning.

"Hehe, this is innate. There's nothing I can do about it." Orochimaru let out a sinister laugh that echoed in the dim space, making people feel creepy.

"Sasuke and Kabuto are doing tests. Do you need me to call them over?" There was a hint of respect in his tone, and a strange light flashed in his narrow eyes.

At this moment, Naruto made him even more confused.

He originally thought that with the help of the "Phantom Spirit Technique" given by Naruto, he would be able to catch up with Naruto to some extent, but now it seems that he was overthinking.

Orochimaru thought to himself that this boy who was once somewhat immature was now like an insurmountable mountain, exuding an elusive and powerful aura.

He didn't know what Naruto had experienced in the past two years to have grown to such an extent.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Naruto-kun, your growth rate is really amazing. What on earth have you experienced to be so much stronger than you were two years ago?"

Naruto looked calm, and did not answer Orochimaru's question. He just said calmly: "Call Sasuke and Kabuto over, I have something to say to them."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze lingered on Naruto for a moment, and then waved his hand.

Soon, Sasuke and Kabuto came to where they were. Sasuke's eyes were still cold, with a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance.

But when he saw Naruto, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and then he returned to his normal state.

When Kabuto saw Naruto, he looked a little reserved, but he still bowed respectfully to Naruto.
