Chapter 109 Goodbye
Sasuke turned around and glared at Kabuto Yakushi.
The white-haired man smiled and looked harmless.
This person only said that Orochimaru wanted to see him.
Unexpectedly, the purpose of bringing him here was to meet Naruto.
The person I least want to see now is him!
"I heard Orochimaru said that you fought against that man." Sasuke asked, "Is he strong?"
The pair of sharingan eyes from the country of whirlpool appeared in front of me again.
Naruto shook his head: "When he fought with me, he didn't seem to use all his strength."
"I don't know the specific strength."
"but."
Naruto glanced at Orochimaru: "If you can kill this guy and evolve the Sharingan into a Mangekyou, you should be able to compete with that guy."
Sasuke lowered his head and repeated softly: "Kaleidoscope?"
Orochimaru clicked his tongue and joined the conversation between the two: "Naruto-kun, you hurt me by saying it so bluntly."
"In your heart, do I turn out to be just a tool?"
Naruto glanced at him: "When did you think you weren't?"
"I've always been like this."
Orochimaru grinned and smiled brighter: "I care so much about Sasuke-kun, why don't we make a deal."
"I can give him to you."
"As long as you are willing."
"Tell me the secrets of your two knives and the method of transforming necromancy."
Naruto looked at Sasuke.
He clenched his fists and did not raise his head.
"Is it because I am too kind that you have the illusion that you are qualified to negotiate with me?" He spoke in a gentle tone.
But extremely sharp.
Naruto's aura mixed with Kyuubi's aura, pointing directly at Orochimaru.
The expression on his snake-like face changed slightly, and he took a small step back: "Naruto-kun has become stronger again, I was just saying casually."
"I want to take Sasuke away, and I don't need your consent." Naruto continued, "However, he has his own ideas."
"And be prepared to bear the cost."
"I won't interfere."
He could tell that Sasuke didn't want to accept "charity".
I just don't quite understand
Why in his eyes, his help is regarded as "charity".
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes: "Is that what Naruto-kun thinks? Then I'll be relieved."
Sasuke raised his head, his expression no longer so heavy.
"Everyone will choose their own path." Naruto returned his gaze to the black-haired boy who opened the three magatama, "As long as he is prepared to bear the price, no matter how he goes, it will be his personal will."
"but."
"Orochimaru, I think Sasuke will be the winner in the end."
Orochimaru lowered his voice: "Does Naruto think so highly of him?"
"Let me think about it." Naruto tilted his head. He felt that there was something strange about Sasuke, "If you and that guy named Uchiha Itachi said the same thing."
"That is, Sasuke's abilities are far superior to yours."
His eyes rested on Sasuke's forehead.
Capture that "strange feeling".
Naruto walked over, reached out and took off the forehead protector on his head, and threw it on the ground casually: "Since you have chosen to leave Konoha, don't wear such an inconvenient thing anymore."
Sasuke raised his head slightly.
After not seeing each other for a year and a half, Naruto was already half a head taller than him.
When he was in Konoha, he was obviously shorter than Sakura.
"Really?" Orochimaru was not very angry at Naruto's statement, but his interest was even higher. "It seems that I can't let Naruto-kun down in the future."
Naruto tilted his head, looked at Sasuke's neck, which was empty, and continued: "I'll give you two suggestions."
"Don't accept Orochimaru's curse seal. It is indeed a way to gain power."
"but."
"It's just a poor substitute for 'immortal mode.'"
"You can try to get the scroll of Ryūchi Cave, one of the three holy places, from Orochimaru, and then learn the sage mode from Ryūchi Cave."
"If you can't learn that technique, then accept Orochimaru's curse seal."
Sasuke was stunned.
Immortal mode?
This was a new word that he had never heard before. If Naruto could value it so much, it must be an incredible power.
He nodded his head.
Naruto continued: "The second thing is that he now has some research on the power of the soul."
"You can also try to learn in this regard."
"This might be of some help with the Sharingan."
Sasuke was stunned and nodded his head again.
"Sage Mode" and "Soul Power"?
Naruto turned around and smiled brightly at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, don't be stingy with your power."
"Leave it all to Sasuke."
"If you have something to hide"
"Even if you are the winner in the end, I will kill you without hesitation."
Orochimaru licked his tongue: "Naruto-kun is really partial to Sasuke."
"He is my friend." Naruto replied without hesitation, "And you were killed by me once."
He paused and said meaningfully: "I still have an immature idea. Maybe I will need him in the future."
Orochimaru said nothing.
Sasuke lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Kabuto Yakushi quickly prepared what Naruto wanted.
The experimental equipment was much richer than expected. Orochimaru's laboratory was almost the same as the 12th Division except for the size.
Orochimaru also provided a lot of information about the criminals.
Most of them were ninjas who threatened the Otogakure. With Orochimaru never showing up again and the leader of the Otogakure being Kabuto Yakushi, the situation of the village was not very good.
After getting what he wanted, Naruto left immediately.
After catching a ninja who was confirmed to be guilty and nearby, Naruto took Karin to Konoha.
This time they sneaked in quietly without alerting the Anbu.
There were not many traces related to the "Uzumaki Clan" in this village.
It was soon found that at the end of Konoha, there was a shrine left by the Uzumaki Clan.
It was already dilapidated and no one had maintained it for a long time. Most of the buildings had collapsed.
Only the door plaque at the entrance of the shrine had the emblem of the "Uzumaki Clan". The circle of spiral patterns revealed who the owner of this shrine used to be.
They walked in from the half-collapsed low entrance.
Karin exclaimed: "There are so many masks here."
As soon as they entered the door, the wall inside was filled with three rows of death masks.
Kyuubi poked his head out and glanced at them: "Which one could it be?"
They all looked similar, with a hideous face and two horns on their heads, but the facial features and shapes were slightly different, making each mask look uniquely recognizable.
"It's that one." Naruto reached out and took off the second row and the sixth mask.
Kyuubi poked his head out and sniffed it, but didn't feel anything special.
"How did you confirm it?" It asked in doubt.
"Because they look the same." Naruto replied, "That evil ghost looks like this."
Karin took out a scroll: "Then I will summon that person now and release the soul of the Fourth Hokage."
Naruto shook his head and threw the mask to her: "Wait a minute, let me prepare."
Karin tilted her head, what else should she prepare.
Instruments, techniques, candidates, aren't they all complete?
Naruto walked out of the shrine.
He put his hands together and started the spell.
A huge barrier rose up on the spot, covering the entire shrine from all directions.
Then, several sealing techniques were spread all over the ground inside the barrier.
And the last technique.
"The Seventy-third Binding Path, Inverted Mountain Crystal".
A blue inverted triangle appeared out of thin air and floated in the air.
After making all these preparations, Naruto picked up Karin and entered the Inverted Mountain Crystal.
"Naruto?" Karin was a little puzzled.
She didn't know what the meaning of Naruto performing so many sealing techniques was.
Konoha was not worth his fuss.
"To prevent the guy in the Pure Land." Naruto shook his head.
Karin recalled: "Is it the Six Paths Sage?"
Although the Great Toad Sage did not explicitly say who the owner of the Pure Land was, it was not difficult to guess a result through the clues in what he said.
"It's not confirmed yet." Naruto reached out and took the scroll from Karin's hand, "but the guy in the Pure Land is really powerful. I can only catch the traces of his attack."
"Release the soul later."
"If he drags it away, it will be a waste of time."
As he spoke, he spread the scroll flat on the ground, covered it with his hand, and unfolded the summoning technique.
A wooden barrel appeared out of thin air.
Naruto opened it and pulled out the person inside.
"Master Uzumaki!" The middle-aged ninja just greeted cautiously.
Naruto took the mask from Karin's hand and handed it to him: "It's the same as before."
"Help me perform this technique."
"If you can survive, I will let you go."
The middle-aged man nodded, respectfully took the mask, and put it on his face.
He made a seal.
The chakra in his body was drained, and an illusory figure appeared behind him.
Karin still couldn't see anything.
But as the Nine-Tails who had experienced the "Shiki Fujin" technique once, he could see it clearly.
That "Death God" had a face as hideous and evil as the mask.
Naruto pulled out his knife.
"We met briefly before."
"Now let me see what you are."
He stepped forward in an instant and stood in front of the "Death God".
The evil ghost did not react to this, his face was dull, and he only stared at the ninja who performed the technique.
It seemed that it only cared about the guy who became its "Human Pillar" and what action he would take next.
Naruto's knife had already chopped it down and hit its lower abdomen.
The evil ghost still did not react.
Even if its stomach was cut open, five souls flew out of its body.
But if the guy who performed the technique did not move, it would not make any action at all.
At the moment when the soul appeared.
Naruto looked down.
In his perception, a force came from the ground and hit the barrier, and the target was the four souls that had just been released.
(The third update feels a bit strange, I will modify it slightly and release it around 1:30)
