Chapter 72 Bones and Snakes (sixth update, please give me a monthly vote)
Uchiha Sasuke.
This name made Orochimaru's eyes fluctuate.
He was silent for a while: "It's meaningless to catch him now."
Reincarnation is not without restrictions.
If you want to reincarnate again, you have to wait at least three years.
"Please, Lord Orochimaru, let me shine a little light for you in the last moments of my life." Kimimaro begged.
Orochimaru looked up and glanced at Kabuto Yakushi: "Kimimaro, I really hope you are a healthy person."
"I am willing to pay a lot for this, even if I seal my feet again, I am willing."
Kimimaro is really his most satisfied subordinate.
Loyal and powerful.
And he has a very rare bloodline limit "corpse bone vein" that can be compared with the "blood-sharingan".
It's a pity
He is seriously ill, an incurable disease that even he can't do anything about.
"Lord Orochimaru." Kimimaro said in a heavy tone, "It is my body that is holding you back."
Orochimaru stopped talking and thought silently.
His feelings for Kimimaro did not affect his judgment.
"Since you have such a request." After a long while, he spoke, "Then do me one last favor."
"Do you know Uzumaki Naruto?"
Kimimaro nodded: "He is one of the culprits who caused you to become like this."
"Find him." Orochimaru said softly. Although he was killed by Naruto once, he was not so gnashing his teeth when talking about his enemy. His voice and tone were even a little happy. "Then try to see if you can bring him back."
"If you can't do it"
"Tell him that I want to discuss a cooperation with him."
"His father, the Fourth Hokage, also used the technique of 'Shiki Fuujin' and was sealed in the body of the god of death."
"If he wants to release the soul of the Fourth Hokage, come to me in the Land of Rice."
"I can also teach him the technique of Impure World Reincarnation."
Kimimaro agreed, a little excited: "Yes, I will fight for my life for Lord Orochimaru."
Orochimaru looked at him.
His eyes were nostalgic and heavy.
"Kabuto, you and Kimimaro together." He added an order softly.
Kabuto Yakushi was stunned.
"This is a reward for loyalty." Orochimaru grinned.
Kabuto Yakushi replied: "Yes."
They prepared and set out.
It was not difficult to find the whereabouts of Naruto and Karin. The two of them did not hide their traces and traveled openly.
In half a month, they visited seven "temples" and "shrines", and they worshipped different gods.
The shrine near the seaside worships the god named "Ebisu".
The several inland shrines worship gods such as "Konohana Sakuyahime", "Oyama Tsukimi-no-Mikoto", and "Okuninushi-no-Mikoto".
These shrines are very prosperous.
There are many believers, and countless people come to pray every day, and even some ninjas can be seen.
But.
The results of Naruto's communication with these shrine maidens and monks were not very satisfactory.
They knew nothing about the origin and existence of these gods.
At most, they would say something like "the origin of these gods is older than the Six Paths Sage."
Even in Karin's perception.
Many people who say this are lying.
This does not mean that the content of those paintings is false, but they do not believe this sentence in their hearts.
People who worship gods are not necessarily pious.
This is Naruto's biggest gain in this period of time.
The Land of Fire, a prosperous town.
In a barbecue restaurant.
"These people are too unreliable." Karin couldn't help complaining, "If those believers knew, they would tear them apart."
Naruto smiled and shook his head: "Maybe those believers want to tear us apart."
Karin tilted his head, a little puzzled.
Naruto took out the map without explanation: "According to the direction we are heading now, we will reach the capital of the Land of Fire after two more towns."
"The temple there should be more reliable."
Karin picked up the chopsticks and naturally put the meat on Naruto's plate before picking up another piece for herself: "I hope there will be some useful information."
While they were talking.
Naruto raised his head and looked at the door.
Five not unfamiliar chakras walked in.
Among those five chakras.
There was one that noticed Naruto the moment he entered the door and barked.
It was a white dog with brown drooping ears.
"Naruto?" The boy riding on the white dog read the meaning of the "bark", glanced at his head, and met Naruto's eyes.
It was Konoha's Team 8.
The leader of the team was Yuhi Kurenai.
The one riding on the head by the dog was Inuzuka Kiba, the girl with white eyes beside her was Hyuga Hinata, and the slightly weak but densely packed Aburame Shino.
Kurenai ran into Naruto and felt a little embarrassed.
When Naruto left the village, she was the first to speak up to stop him.
But she didn't expect Naruto to be the son of the Fourth Hokage.
Compared to her, Kiba Inuzuka was much more natural and greeted him cheerfully: "Naruto, long time no see!"
He trotted over and sat down at the table next to Naruto: "Teacher Kurenai, this way!"
Hinata also wanted to go over.
Shino Aburame never had any opinions, so he didn't object.
Kurenai could only follow and sit down.
It was just a coincidence that I bumped into Class 8 here.
They had just completed a C-level mission and were preparing to have a barbecue to celebrate.
Inuzuka Kiba was very enthusiastic towards Naruto and asked him about his welfare.
Yuhi Kurenai tried to speak as little as possible, but in order to express her apology, she took the initiative to settle the accounts of Naruto and the others.
Wait until you finish eating.
"Naruto, are you really not going back to Konoha?" Inuzuka Kiba stood at the door and looked at Naruto.
I haven’t seen him in just a few months.
He found that Naruto seemed to have grown a lot taller. In the past, he had to lower his gaze, but now, he had to raise his head slightly to look directly at his face.
Hinata huddled behind Yuhi Kurenai, her eyes were eager but she hid them.
She also stared closely at Naruto.
"I'm not going back." Naruto shook his head, "I still have important things to do."
"I wish you all the best in your ninja career."
Inuzuka Kiba opened his mouth, scratched his head, and just nodded: "Okay, but if you have a chance in the future, remember to come back to Konoha to see us."
"There are still many people in the village who are concerned about you."
Naruto responded: "Well, I will visit you if I have the chance."
They waved goodbye.
The two groups of people were heading in different directions.
"That little girl with white eyes seems to like you a little bit." Xianglin spoke coldly and uttered these words.
Naruto was startled, and he thought for a moment: "Maybe it's because I defeated Sunagakure during the Chunin Exam."
"Ya is also very enthusiastic towards me."
Xianglin shook his head and looked serious: "I'm not talking about the kind of love between friends."
"It's the kind of love between men and women."
When you like someone, your eyes and demeanor are different.
Xianglin is 100% confirmed.
The girl named Hinata Hinata is just reserved and shy, and doesn't seem to show much, but she definitely likes Naruto.
During the meal, she secretly glanced at Naruto eighty-seven times, an unusually high frequency.
"Really?" Naruto scratched his head and didn't take it seriously, "So it turns out that I can be liked by girls too."
Xianglin was stunned, sighed, and kicked the gravel on the roadside.
emotionally
This guy is unexpectedly an idiot.
Outside town.
"We found Uzumaki Naruto." Kabuto Yakushi asked Kimimaro beside him, "What are you going to do?"
Just as Kimimaro was about to speak, he coughed twice and spit out two mouthfuls of blood: "I don't have much time."
"Just be direct."
He paused, looked at Yakushi Kabuto, and said with a hint of warning: "This is my fight for Lord Orochimaru, and you are not allowed to interfere."
"If I can defeat him, you take him back."
"If I can't"
"Just come out and carry out Lord Orochimaru's second order."
Kabuto Yakushi nodded: "Don't worry, I won't interfere."
He reached out and handed over a pill.
Kimimaro narrowed his eyes at him.
"Don't worry, a medicine that can temporarily stabilize your physical condition will also shield you from pain." Kabuto Yakushi explained, "Of course, after you take it, there is almost no hope of returning alive."
Kimimaro didn't hesitate, took the pill, put it away, and left immediately.
Kabuto Yakushi looked into the distance expectantly.
Naruto stopped and looked in one direction.
"Is someone here?" Xianglin stopped, closed his eyes, and used Kagura's Heart Eye, sensing a powerful chakra coming in their direction, "It seems...not to the level of Orochimaru. ?”
This half month in the Fire Country.
In the first few days, there would still be some blind ninjas coming to the door.
There are some "anbu" from small countries.
Or a rebel ninja on the run.
They all want to catch Naruto and exchange for some money, or master the resource of "Tailed Beast".
Although Konoha has already released the news.
Uzumaki Naruto had the ability to kill Orochimaru, one of the "Three Ninjas", and left the village just to practice.
Sunagakure Village also spoke out to support them - this was one of the compensations they made for their failure in the "Konoha Collapse Plan".
The remaining three major countries were all strangely silent, and no action was heard of them.
But these small countries and "rebels" don't really believe this rumor.
A kid who is only twelve years old
Possess the ability to kill the "Sannin"? Who believes it!
But after being killed by Naruto, they finally believed that no one would come looking for them in the past few days.
Don't talk about catching this blond brat.
Even trying to get close to him is extremely difficult.
"There will always be some people whose greed defeats reason." Naruto shook his head, "Xiang Lin."
The red-haired girl nodded: "I know, I will hide."
She jumped away from Naruto.
"Kagura Heart Eye"!
Concentrate your chakra.
After a moment, a figure landed on the branches of a nearby tree.
Naruto looked.
He is a young boy with white hair and strong chakra, but his physical aura is extremely weak.
"Have you discovered me?" He lowered his head and spoke softly.
