#134 - Chapter 134: Sharingan Toad, Haruno Sakura's Death, Sasuke's Capacity (Two in One)

Naruto nodded in satisfaction, then made hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground!

With a 'poof,' a toad with golden skin, red markings, and sunglasses, only about a person's height, appeared before everyone!

"Boss! You called for me?"

Toad Kin looked up, acting arrogant even when talking to Naruto.

Fortunately, Naruto knew this was its personality, so he didn't get emotional.

"Yeah, need you to do something!"

Naruto responded to Toad Kin, then looked at Orochimaru in front, "Orochimaru, now that you've submitted to me, you wouldn't mind if I got you some insurance, right?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

He guessed that the so-called insurance was something or some ninjutsu that could restrict him!

Either threatening his life or restricting his strength!

Given his current physical condition, his strength was less than 10% of what it was, so the possibility of Naruto wanting to restrict his strength was low.

Thinking this way, it should be to restrict his life.

However, regarding life, he both cared and didn't care!

Even if he died, he could be resurrected through this method!

Moreover, he was confident that no matter what Naruto used to restrict him, he would have a way to solve it!

Thinking this way, Orochimaru readily agreed.

But when he saw Toad Kin take off its sunglasses, revealing its right eye, he knew he was too naive!

"Sharingan?!"

The three of them looked shocked, seemingly not understanding why a toad would have a Sharingan!

But the next moment, its right eye rotated.

Kotoamatsukami—activate!

Before Orochimaru could react, he was completely controlled by Toad Kin!

"Boss, all done!" Toad Kin said to Naruto, seeking praise.

Naruto casually took out a gold coin and tossed it to it, "Good work, go back now."

Toad Kin took the gold coin, fondling it, but still saying insincere words, "Boss, you're too kind. If it weren't for you, where would Toad Kin be today? It's my duty to help you, why give me a gold coin?"

"Then give it back?"

"How can I do that? What the boss gives me is a great reward, I have to cherish it!"

As Toad Kin spoke, it swallowed the gold coin into its mouth, "Boss, next time you have something good like this, look for me. You can also look for me to fight! Now the old thing at home is no match for me anymore! If my stomach wasn't big enough, I would have snatched all of its gold sooner or later! See you!"

With that said, Toad Kin used Reverse Summoning Technique to leave.

Naruto looked at the place where Toad Kin left, speechless.

Toad Kin was the child of the Gold Coin Toad, but it lost an eye due to some events.

So Naruto stored Shisui's Kotoamatsukami in its right eye.

He didn't expect that it would use this right eye to beat up its own father.

Poor Gold Coin Toad... Can't beat it in a fight, can't win an argument, truly miserable!

"Why does that toad have a Sharingan in its eye?" Sasuke suddenly asked Naruto.

Naruto looked at Sasuke and explained plainly, "I stole this eye from Shimura Danzo."

"Shimura Danzo?" Sasuke frowned, carefully recalling, but finding the name very unfamiliar.

"Who is he?"

"A Leaf Village high-level official."

"How could he have a Sharingan?" Sasuke asked, puzzled.

"How would I know? Maybe he killed someone from the Uchiha clan and stole it."

Seeing that Sasuke had some thoughts, he added, "He's already been killed by me, so it's considered revenge for that person in your Uchiha clan."

Sasuke was silent for a while, then said, "Thank you."

Naruto nodded.

He didn't plan to tell Sasuke the truth. If Sasuke knew the truth now, who would seduce Uchiha Itachi?

His gaze turned to Orochimaru again.

At this time, Orochimaru still didn't understand what Naruto had done to him.

He said he was restricting him, but he didn't feel anything.

It wasn't like a genjutsu... He just didn't know why, but he felt respect and admiration for Naruto in his heart, which made him unable to have any thoughts of resisting or betraying Naruto!

"Lord Naruto!"

Seeing Naruto looking at him, Orochimaru subconsciously knelt on one knee.

This surprised Yakushi Kabuto, who was on the side.

He knew Orochimaru's pride, even if he surrendered, he would never go to this extent.

So was it because of that Sharingan just now?

But why did it feel like Lord Orochimaru didn't realize he was under any genjutsu?

With his ability, even if he couldn't resist the genjutsu, he should be able to detect the problem if he was conscious!

Could it be!

Kabuto felt horrified in his heart.

Could it be that this genjutsu was silent and imperceptible to the person under its influence?

But how could someone under a genjutsu not realize they were under a genjutsu?

Kabuto couldn't understand the secret...

Naruto was very satisfied with Orochimaru's attitude.

With the restriction of Kotoamatsukami, he didn't have to worry about Orochimaru betraying him, and he could safely let Orochimaru develop on his own!

"These two Gelel Stones will stay here with you. Give me a message if the research makes a breakthrough."

He didn't plan to bring Orochimaru back to the Land of Snow.

The Land of Snow was too poor after all, and the environment was harsh.

Rather than letting Orochimaru go to the Land of Snow with him, it was better to let him develop on his own!

This could solve the research funding problem and reap the benefits!

It was much more promising than those people in the Land of Snow who only knew how to research chakra armor!

"Yes, Lord Naruto! This subordinate will definitely not disappoint your expectations!" Orochimaru's gloomy face looked much gentler under his enthusiastic tone!

Naruto nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something. He asked Orochimaru, "Have you seen a girl named Sakura?"

"She's dead!" Before Orochimaru could answer, Sasuke spoke first.

"Dead?" Naruto looked at Sasuke in confusion.

"I killed her!"

"She wanted to bring me back, or stay by my side to assist me. Heh, she didn't even think about what use she was, no strength, only a hindrance! Her greatest value was to die in my hands to prove my worth!"

Sasuke's plain tone carried a hint of mockery, and at the same time, he activated his Sharingan!

It was a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

The corner of Naruto's mouth twitched.

What a way to prove your worth!

"Do you want to avenge her?"

Sasuke added, "If you want to avenge her, I can give you my life, but I need some time. After I kill Uchiha Itachi, I can give you my life!"

"No need, I was just asking casually, just to give Leaf Village an explanation."

Naruto shook his head and turned to leave.

This was the result of Sakura's own choice, and he had no reason to avenge Sakura.

Moreover, the person who killed her was still useful to him!

Seeing that Naruto didn't attack him, Sasuke felt a sense of relief, and the hand he had been secretly clenching quietly relaxed.

If Naruto hadn't intended to let him go just now, he would have planned to fight to the death.

Fortunately, everything didn't develop in such a terrible direction.

Turning his head to look at Orochimaru, seeing him still respectfully looking at Naruto's back, he felt a little disdain for him.

At the same time, he was also wondering if his decision to come here was a mistake!

Orochimaru, the guy who could destroy Konoha and kill the Third Hokage, didn't seem as powerful as he had imagined!

It's a pity that he couldn't learn Whirlpool Naruto's skills, otherwise he wouldn't have come here.

Orochimaru was the result of him having no choice!

......

After Naruto left Otogakure, he didn't go directly back to the Land of Snow, but instead detoured back to Konoha.

He personally reported the matter of Sasuke and Sakura, which shocked Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage.

She didn't expect that the team Naruto led would have such a problem.

One defected, one died...

In the face of accidents, even the strongest captain cannot prevent the life and death of team members.

"I will notify Sakura's parents, as for Sasuke..."

Tsunade looked at Naruto, as if making up her mind, and said, "I will designate him as a Konoha A-class missing-nin, I hope you can understand."

In Tsunade's opinion, since Naruto was so clear about the affairs of Sakura and Sasuke, he must have found Sasuke.

But why didn't he kill Sasuke, or bring Sasuke back?

Tsunade tended to believe that Naruto still had feelings for Sasuke, and he held back!

That's why she hesitated when making this decision, she needed to consider Naruto's thoughts, and also take into account the thoughts of Sakura's family and the rules of Konoha!

She couldn't give Sasuke a lenient treatment just because Sasuke was Naruto's subordinate!

As Hokage, she needs to ensure the fairness of ninjas to a certain extent!

Naruto didn't know Tsunade's thoughts, if he knew, he would definitely say she was overthinking!

"I have no opinion, just do as you see fit," Naruto said lightly.

"Yeah."

Seeing that Naruto had no objections, Tsunade felt relieved.

It seems that Naruto is not the kind of person who is led by emotions, "There is one more thing, your team is now missing two people, I have decided to add two more people to you. This is the list, see if there is anyone you need?"

Naruto took the list, glanced at it, and shook his head, "Forget it, let my team remain with two people for the time being."

"No one satisfied you?" Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you getting more and more picky, kid?"

Naruto shrugged, "I have no interest in leading newcomers."

Most of the names Tsunade gave him were freshmen who graduated this year, and he didn't have that much time to take care of newcomers.

One Sakura just left, and two more are coming?

He's not a nanny!

Tsunade was a little helpless, she did have this idea, but mainly because Konoha no longer had enough excellent ninjas to assign to Naruto.

Now those elite teams are all out on missions, she can't just call them all back and dismantle them for Naruto, right?

"Then it can only be like this for now."

Fortunately, with Naruto's skills, leading a team of two was enough for Tsunade to trust him.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Naruto took Karin to rest in Konoha for a day, and the next day he embarked on the road back to the Land of Snow.

He originally came back to supplement two capable assistants, after all, without Sasuke, he is basically indispensable in the Land of Snow now.

But unfortunately, Tsunade can only find some newcomers for him, and instead of finding newcomers for him, he might as well train Karin, or wait for some good seedlings to appear in the Land of Snow.

A few days later,

Naruto returned to the Land of Snow and came to the Daimyo's mansion.

As soon as he came back, he saw Jiraiya sitting on the roof of the Daimyo's mansion, looking at something with a telescope, with a perverted smile on his face.

"You go back first."

Leaving the luggage to Karin, Naruto flashed to Jiraiya's side.

"What are you looking at?"

!!!

Because he was too engrossed, Jiraiya didn't react at all, and a startle almost made him roll off the roof.

"Naruto?"

Jiraiya looked resentful, "You kid, just come back, why are you disturbing me from collecting material?"

"Who in their right mind would be peeking at people taking a bath on the roof of the Daimyo's mansion?" Naruto said speechlessly.

Jiraiya's face turned red, "Don't say it so harshly, what peeking at people taking a bath, I am sacrificing my morals for art, understand?"

"You have a reason for everything, as long as you're not collecting material for a new book with me as the protagonist!"

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, he saw Jiraiya showing a guilty look, and immediately knew that this old boy really didn't have good intentions.

"Did you write it?"

"Wrote a little."

"Bring it here and let me see!"

Jiraiya didn't hide it, and gave Naruto the draft of the new book to read.

"Chapter 1, a genius shao nian accidentally enters a bathhouse and encounters a widowed young fu... Are you sure you're writing something serious?" Naruto's mouth twitched.

"Why isn't this serious? If you don't understand writing books, don't talk nonsense, this is all the experience of my genius writer for decades of writing! Readers love to read this stuff!" Jiraiya glanced at Naruto with disdain, looking like a literary master.

Although Naruto was speechless, he was also unable to refute.

This may be the truth...

"How are things on your side? I see only you and that girl came back, could it be..."

"One died, one escaped, the one who died was killed by the one who escaped."

Jiraiya was silent for a while, and said, "What are you going to do?"

He thought of Orochimaru who killed Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"What else can I do? Respect other people's fate, I just need to do what I should do." Naruto shrugged.

Jiraiya turned his head and stared at Naruto, seeing that his eyes were unwavering, it seemed that he really didn't care about the affairs of Sasuke and Sakura.

Although Naruto has never been a particularly emotional person, but a companion died, and a companion escaped, facing this situation, Naruto is still so indifferent, which makes him a little concerned.

"Naruto, companions are very important people, if a ninja doesn't cherish his companions, then he is not worthy of being a ninja!"

"Oh... then I quit? After all, didn't you also quit when you didn't find Orochimaru back then?"

"......"

"Ahem, never mind I said that."

Although Jiraiya didn't think there was anything in common between the two things, he had indeed already given up on Orochimaru.

In a sense, he is also someone who gave up on his companions.

Even if Orochimaru abandoned them first.
