#133 - Chapter 133: Subjugating Orochimaru (Two chapters in one)

With Jiraiya filling in, Naruto told Koyuki the next day and left the Snow Country with Karin!

Although Jiraiya seems unreliable, he is quite trustworthy when it comes to serious matters.

Besides, the group targeting Koyuki had already been dealt with by him, so the mission wasn't difficult anymore.

The only reason he couldn't leave the Snow Country easily was to prevent any accidents, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable!

Who knows if those who seem loyal now might develop ulterior motives when he leaves?

Koyuki Kazehana doesn't have anyone reliable by her side, and once she encounters danger... his plans in the Snow Country wouldn't matter much,

The reward of a hundredfold constitution is extremely important to him!

A month later,

Naruto and Karin returned to the Land of Fire's territory and headed towards Otogakure.

Along the way, Naruto traveled while training Karin. At this time, Karin had initially become accustomed to using Kagura Shingan as a combat aid.

Its effect is comparable to basic Observation Haki!

It's just that Karin's taijutsu is still too poor, and she can't avoid many attacks even if she reacts in advance!

"Your next stage of training will focus on taijutsu, preferably with the Body Flicker Technique as the main focus. As long as you are fast enough, there will be no attacks you can't avoid, and no one you can't kill!"

Karin nodded and pumped her fist to cheer herself on, "I will work hard!"

"Yeah."

Naruto had no doubts about Karin's enthusiasm.

Compared to Sakura, who needs someone to supervise her to train properly, Karin understands the importance of being needed!

Sakura's growth experience destined her not to be able to feel Karin's pain!

Soon after, they arrived at Otogakure.

On the surface, this village is no different from other villages.

There are commercial streets, ordinary villagers, and ninjas!

Naruto and Karin wore Konoha headbands and did not avoid the Otogakure ninjas, appearing unafraid of being discovered.

"You two, stop!"

After discovering Naruto, the Otogakure ninja decisively stopped them, looking vigilant.

"What are you here for?"

"Looking for Orochimaru," Naruto said lightly as he looked at him.

The others looked at each other, somewhat confused. The Kage of Otogakure had killed the Kage of Konoha some time ago. Now, a Konoha ninja broke into Otogakure and came to find Orochimaru without saying a word?

"What do you want with Lord Orochimaru?" the leading Otogakure ninja asked.

"Something important."

Seeing that Naruto was unwilling to speak directly, several Otogakure ninjas showed dissatisfaction and prepared to attack with kunai.

"Boy, you better tell us your purpose, otherwise, we'll have to give you some trouble!"

Naruto ignored them, flashed past them, and said without looking back: "Karin, deal with them."

"Yes, Naruto-sama!"

Behind them, there was a burst of crackling fighting sounds, which subsided after about a few minutes.

Karin wiped the sweat from her forehead and followed.

The Otogakure ninjas just now were very weak. Even Karin, who had only been training with Naruto for more than a month, could easily deal with them.

It can be seen that Orochimaru implements elite education here!

Ninjas with talent will be heavily cultivated, while those without talent will be left to fend for themselves.

Although Konoha is not much different, Konoha's overall quality is relatively high. With the cooperation of companions, even ordinary civilian ninjas will make some progress.

At least they are stronger than these genin in Otogakure.

Karin's public killing immediately caused panic, and everyone on the street ran away.

This seems a bit like hitting the grass to scare the snake, but Naruto didn't care at all.

He believed that Orochimaru would come to see him, or at least send a clone.

Orochimaru wouldn't be incurious about his purpose.

And even if he really wasn't curious and didn't dare to come, he wasn't worried.

From the moment he entered this village, the entire village was sealed off by his Observation Haki!

No one can escape Otogakure under his perception!

After a while,

Countless Otogakure ninjas ran over and surrounded them.

This time, Naruto didn't let Karin take action again.

With so many people, even if they are all weak, Karin can't deal with them now!

Naruto condensed a ball of light with one hand and directly crushed it!

The energy of light scattered!

The next moment,

All the Otogakure ninjas paused, and began to kill each other.

Light Illusion: Cannibalistic Beans!

At this moment, in the eyes of every Otogakure ninja, the people standing next to them were not their own people, but ninjas from other villages.

Many people who couldn't distinguish clearly started fighting each other directly. Some smart people could use sound to identify the illusion after observing for a while.

But when they saw someone attacking them, they had to fight back!

Even if they kept shouting that it was an illusion, trying to awaken others.

But could the illusion designed by Naruto have such simple flaws?

Some of the people attacking them were real, and some were fake. Since they couldn't distinguish between true and false, who could guarantee that the person attacking them now was real or illusory?

Some people, after discovering that they couldn't resist this illusion, planned to escape.

But the entire Otogakure had become a maze, only allowing entry, not exit!

All Otogakure ninjas who tried to escape would unconsciously return to their original place!

Karin looked at Naruto, who had destroyed Otogakure with a flick of his fingers, her face filled with admiration.

"Naruto-sama, you are too amazing!"

"Learn well and watch carefully. You can be this amazing in the future too."

"Can I too?"

"Of course, I am from the Uzumaki clan, and you are also from the Uzumaki clan. I can do it, why can't you?"

After being praised by Naruto, Karin became even more enthusiastic and motivated for training.

She vowed that she would work hard and become as strong as Naruto, becoming Naruto's right-hand man!

"Not here?"

After searching for a while, Naruto discovered that there was no trace of Orochimaru in the entire Otogakure.

Happened to be away? Or?

Naruto frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he directly activated his Observation Haki to the fullest!

Even if Orochimaru wasn't here, it was impossible for him not to send someone to check after such a big change in Otogakure!

As long as he found the person who came to investigate, he could find Orochimaru's lair through that person!

"Found him!"

Under the effect of Observation Haki, Naruto found a familiar person observing everything here from afar outside Otogakure - Kabuto Yakushi!

Kabuto Yakushi couldn't possibly not know where Orochimaru was. Next, he only needed to stare at Kabuto, and he would eventually find Orochimaru.

But this Orochimaru was cunning enough, leaving such a large Otogakure alone and living outside by himself.

It seems that he is quite cautious about his safety.

Especially after exposing the relationship between Otogakure and Orochimaru, he dared not stay in Otogakure!

Naruto didn't think that Orochimaru was afraid of Konoha.

Konoha now has a large backlog of tasks and can't spare manpower to deal with him, so even if their hatred is deep, Orochimaru is not worried!

The only thing Orochimaru is worried about now is - Akatsuki!

He took away the ring with the code name 'Sky' from the Akatsuki organization and knew too many secrets of the Akatsuki organization, so they won't let him go.

However, if the Akatsuki organization's purpose and Orochimaru's own purpose were not so different, Orochimaru would not have left the Akatsuki organization.

One wants to collect tailed beasts to destroy the ninja world, and use pain to make people empathize, so as to achieve world peace!

The other is painstakingly researching the immortality of life, how could they play together?

Before long, Kabuto Yakushi moved!

Seeing this, Naruto did not follow.

He was still pretending to be searching for Orochimaru's trace inside Otogakure, but in fact, his mind was all on Kabuto Yakushi.

On the other side, Kabuto Yakushi was also very cautious. After collecting information, he looked back three times before leaving, ensuring that he was not being followed.

But just when he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Orochimaru's secret base.

Naruto moved!

Observation Haki locked onto the secret base. Passing through the ground, he found Orochimaru's figure!

"Let's see where you can hide!"

Naruto murmured, and then left Otogakure with Karin.

And at the moment they left, the illusion that trapped the entire Otogakure was automatically lifted!

All the survivors looked at the surrounding corpses, their hearts filled with fear.

"What... happened?!"

......

Orochimaru's secret base.

Kabuto Yakushi passed through the dimly lit corridor and found Orochimaru, who was instructing Sasuke in a small room.

"Orochimaru-sama, Naruto Uzumaki is here!"

Hearing Naruto Uzumaki's name, Sasuke's training movements paused, but soon continued.

Orochimaru noticed Sasuke's movements, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Is he here to find Sasuke?"

"It doesn't seem like it. It feels like he is here to find you," Kabuto Yakushi guessed based on what he saw.

"Looking for me?"

Orochimaru was a little puzzled,

Could it be that he's here to kill me?

He didn't know if it was, but to be on the safe side, they better leave here now!

"Sasuke, today's training will end here for now. We have to leave," Orochimaru said to Sasuke in a gentle tone.

Sasuke didn't say a word, put away his Kubikiribocho and came to Orochimaru's side.

Orochimaru smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Kabuto: "Go!"

"Leave directly? What about those experimental data and experimental subjects......"

"We don't need them. Don't underestimate that child. He is more powerful and dangerous than you and I imagined!"

The last youth who could easily kill him in seconds was Itachi Uchiha. No wonder Orochimaru was so wary of Naruto!

Upon receiving the order, Yakushi Kabuto didn't question Orochimaru at all. Without packing anything, he followed Orochimaru and left the secret base through another passage exit.

However, before the three could run far, two figures appeared in front of them.

One had blond hair and wore a white, noble short-sleeved shirt.

The other had red hair and wore a purple, elegant long dress.

Seeing the two, Orochimaru stopped directly.

Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he really wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

But he knew it wouldn't be that easy!

"Naruto-kun, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here~" Orochimaru licked his lips with his tongue.

Even if he was wary of Naruto's strength, he couldn't hide his greed for Naruto's body!

"It's been a while indeed. Last time you left without saying goodbye, which made me very sad."

Sad?

Looking at Naruto's expressionless face, Orochimaru smiled inwardly.

"I won't say any unnecessary words. What do you want from me? Just say it!"

"I wonder if you've ever heard an old saying: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' I want to recruit you to work for me. I wonder what you think?"

Orochimaru didn't expect that before he could find Naruto, Naruto would come to him, wanting to be his boss!

Although Naruto indeed had the strength to be his boss, he was still somewhat resistant to having someone above him.

Having gotten used to being the boss, it wouldn't be comfortable for him to suddenly become number two!

However, even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare to refuse Naruto on the spot.

So, after thinking for a while, he said to Naruto: "What do you want me to do for you? Maybe we can cooperate!"

"I don't need cooperation. With your strength, you're not qualified to talk about cooperation with me."

Naruto said unceremoniously, "The reason I came to you to help me is because I've taken a liking to your research abilities!"

"Research abilities? What do you want me to research for you?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, curious.

He wasn't dissatisfied because of Naruto's belittling.

After all, what Naruto said was the truth!

With his current strength, he was indeed not qualified to talk about cooperation with Naruto!

The reason he said that was just to test Naruto's thoughts.

After all, as long as Naruto's purpose could be satisfied, what was the difference between cooperation and subordination?

But Naruto just wanted to subdue him!

"Immortality!"

Naruto said lightly, "I know you're researching this, so I need your help!"

"What did you discover?"

Orochimaru's mind was very sharp, and he discovered the key point from Naruto's few words!

A thirteen-year-old boy suddenly came to him, a doctor researching immortality, to help him research immortality. Either the other party had discovered something, or there was something wrong with his thinking.

Orochimaru was more inclined to the former!

The fear of death was not something a thirteen-year-old boy could feel!

"Gelel Stone!"

Naruto threw a blue stone to Orochimaru and said, "This stone contains special energy. Using this energy can allow ordinary people to obtain extraordinary power, and the power within can help others quickly restore their bodies, and even bring them back to life!"

Orochimaru held the Gelel Stone in his hand, and the light in his eyes flickered.

He tried to activate the power within it. The next moment, a burst of energy surged out and struck a stone, directly shattering it!

This ordinary attack was no worse than Sasuke's Chidori!

Orochimaru showed an interested expression, "How many of these stones do you have on hand?"

"Currently, I only have six, but I know there is a place that has countless Gelel Stones!" Naruto said.

"How about it, are you interested in joining me? I'll provide you with a new direction for research! A new possibility for immortality!"

"Once the secret of the Gelel Stone is cracked, it will be more reliable than your Reanimation Jutsu, which is full of side effects!"

Orochimaru held the stone, feeling the power within it while thinking. Finally, he smiled, bowed slightly, and said: "I don't seem to have a reason to refuse! Naruto-sama!"

Sasuke:? ? ?
