Chapter 468: Tempering

Fight for your companions.

This is the determination of these young people, and it is also for the sake of their fathers who have already gone to the battlefield. Let them watch their fathers and mothers go to fight, while he sits back and waits for the result. Such a thing, Shikamaru , Chouji, Ya and others are often unable to accept it, no matter what kind of situation it is.

They are all willing to accept it together.

"Everyone...."

Looking at Shikamaru, Hinata, Choji, Shino and others who all had firm expressions on their faces, Naruto's words became a little choked up.

Even if the road ahead is bleak and there is no bright future in sight, at least he still has a group of companions who are worthy of his most sincere trust. At least for this group of companions, Naruto also feels that he must do something.

"Ah, let us fight side by side then!"

Naruto took a deep breath, nodded fiercely, and finally showed a sunny smile that belonged to Naruto, and said in a deep voice with an unprecedented firm tone.

"Haha, that's right."

"This is the Naruto we are familiar with."

"No matter what kind of enemy they are, we will definitely defeat them!"

"That's it, Naruto!"

They have made the same determination and have the same firm hearts. They may not know what terrible things are waiting for them next. At least at this moment, they stand together in their hearts.

Maybe only Haruno Sakura's thoughts are slightly different.

After all, as a member of the original Team 7, Haruno Sakura's senses are somewhat stronger and more special than those of the others, especially regarding Sasuke's defection.

Even though almost three years have passed.

Haruno Sakura has always been brooding about her, and this life is different from the original work. Compared to Sasuke, Naruto is more obsessed with his brother - Uzumaki Menma. The obvious difference also makes Haruno Sakura's The mentality will change differently.

'Sasuke-kun, where are you now? How are you doing? Can we meet again? ’

The slightly cold face of a young man appeared in the depths of his mind.

Haruno Sakura's hands clenched subconsciously at this moment, and a faint hint of hope quickly flashed in the depths of her eyes.

at the same time.

The Uchiha Sasuke-kun who is being talked about by Haruno Sakura has also faced his own trial.

The far southern sea frontier.

In that small country where the fragrance of tea spreads all year round.

In the secret base located in an extremely desolate area established by Orochimaru.

"Pfft!"

Sasuke, who had an indifferent look on his face, had just killed his last training target by waving the Kusanagi Sword in his palm, and suddenly he seemed to sense something.

Turning around, he looked at a shadow on the east side with cold eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Can't you bear it now? I thought you would wait until next year, Orochimaru."

Falling words.

Then the figure appeared.

The familiar monster snake eyes, the sickly white skin, and the cold aura exuding from his body all the time.

"Haha, Sasuke-kun, your senses are getting sharper and sharper. Well, although it is indeed a little early, it's not much different. It's just like the appointment made three years ago. I'm going to collect the belongings. My reward has been paid, I don’t know, Sasuke-kun, are you mentally prepared?”

Orochimaru smiled hoarsely, his pair of snake eyes staring closely at Sasuke, and the greed in the depths of his pupils was truly the ultimate naked thing, without any concealment.

"Reward? It depends on whether you have the ability, Orochimaru!"

Sasuke's eyes condensed, and then he revealed a sharp aura and a bloody color that filled the air in an instant.

The three dark ink-like magatama in the pupils are also clearly visible.

The atmosphere of confrontation.

Different from the weak one three years ago, after three years of rigorous training under Orochimaru, Sasuke has now reached a critical point, both in terms of physical fitness and ability to control techniques. .

Especially the use of Sharingan.

As Orochimaru, who can be said to have the most profound research on Sharingan in the ninja world, in order to create the most beautiful and perfect container for himself, Orochimaru has developed the most complete training system.

Now Sasuke can be said to be a well-deserved ‘Uchiha Jonin’!

It is the practice of the ninja world to say that it is possible to fight one against two, or even against three elites.

But can Orochimaru be able to deal with it?

Especially Orochimaru who got a lot of useful information from Menma.

That's going to put a big question mark on it.

"Haha, I just like your personality, Sasuke-kun. Then, I will accept your body without mercy!"

A fierce look appeared in Orochimaru's pupils.

"boom!"

Chakra exploded with it, and the figure sped up.

Sasuke also snorted coldly.

“Zizzsssssssssss!!!”

The lightning suddenly exploded! ! !

A battle destined to happen.

Two people each with their own agenda.

Although Orochimaru is undoubtedly stronger than Sasuke in terms of hard power, due to the influence of the Corpse Reincarnation Technique and the Sharingan's innate restraint on Orochimaru, it is still a fifty-fifty battle.

"Boom boom!!!"

Especially when the intention is very special and clear.

The process of this battle will be even more unusual. Just after the initial roar, everything returned to calm.

But the people guarding outside, such as Kabuto Yakushi, never relaxed for a moment.

Especially after a long interval.

When a special "snake breath" came from far away inside.

Kabuto Yakushi's heart was tense.

As Orochimaru's most trusted subordinate.

In the countless experiments he participated in.

Kabuto Yakushi knows all the methods of his Lord Orochimaru too well, including the Corpse Reincarnation Technique, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, the Eight-Headed Technique, the Curse Seal Technique, as long as it is Orochimaru's trump card, there is nothing that Kabuto Yakushi doesn't know.

Even these techniques, Kabuto Yakushi has mastered the relevant core, that is, it is still limited by some special objective factors, which has led to Kabuto Yakushi himself not being able to master them, but in the original work, Kabuto Yakushi who learned the fairy technique in the later period is almost a copy of "Orochimaru" who is more than twice as strong.

From here, we can also see the talent of Kabuto Yakushi.

Therefore, he knows better than anyone that the battle at this moment has come to the most critical moment.

'Lord Orochimaru! '

If I must say, Kabuto Yakushi at this time is still more loyal to Orochimaru, and he certainly hopes that Orochimaru can win. In his dark life for more than 20 years, it was Orochimaru who brought him the meaning and value of survival. In such a day, he lived a relatively smooth life, at least he would not feel that he was wasting his time.

In fact, this battle.

From the beginning, Kabuto Yakushi's suggestion was to use all his strength to suppress Sasuke, and finally let Orochimaru easily take over Sasuke's body, but for some reason, Orochimaru shook his head and refused after only thinking for a while.

Therefore, this is a special battle.

Kabuto Yakushi and other loyal subordinates of Orochimaru can only wait outside.

After waiting outside for most of the day.

Others did not notice it, but Kabuto Yakushi could faintly sense that the abnormal breath inside had dissipated.

‘Could it be? ’

As soon as this thought just emerged in Kabuto Yakushi’s mind.

The next second.

“Da Da Da Da Da Da Da”

A crisp sound of footsteps came slowly from far to near.

Kabuto Yakushi’s heart suddenly rose to his throat.

In his perception range.

The chakra breath approaching was very familiar and strange. It felt like him, but it didn’t feel like him.

This extremely dangerous feeling.

Even though it was winter.

Kabuto Yakushi’s forehead was oozing with sweat.

Who is it?

Which one?

"What? Are you still expecting Orochimaru to win? Kabuto?"

At the moment when the figure gradually became clear from blurry.

A faint and clear voice fell.

At the moment when he saw the slender and straight figure, and the scarlet magatama Sharingan in his pupils.

The pupils of Kabuto Yakushi suddenly shrank.

It's not that such a posture means that Orochimaru has failed.

It's this tone.

This demeanor.

This feeling.

It has nothing to do with Orochimaru at all?

No, it seems that it can't be said that way. For a moment, Kabuto Yakushi still saw the figure of his own Lord Orochimaru from the boy in front of him, but it was just a figure after all, not his own Orochimaru in the true sense.

"Is it Uchiha Sasuke?"

It took half a day.

But at this moment, Sasuke can clearly sense the ultimate dangerous aura belonging to Sasuke.

Completely different from before.

'Is this everything that swallowed Lord Orochimaru! ? ’

Yakushi Kabuto bit his lower lip tightly, trying to force himself to calm down, but he couldn't do it.

This development was really too exciting.

You know, even if they didn't need to take action, Yakushi Kabuto still felt that his own Orochimaru had more than 70% to 80% chance of winning.

So what if the Sharingan has a restraining effect on the soul! ?

Orochimaru's own research on the soul field and the Sharingan is absolutely the best in the ninja world, and no one can match it. It's okay if he can't take down Uchiha Itachi, can he not take down Uchiha Sasuke who only has three magatama Sharingans! ?

But that's the fact.

Sasuke defeated Orochimaru.

Even if Orochimaru was well prepared, Sasuke still won easily. At least, Yakushi Kabuto judged from Sasuke's appearance and his obviously calm eyes that Sasuke didn't seem to be in great danger.

It felt like he easily swallowed Orochimaru in reverse.

But what Yakushi Kabuto didn't know was.

Sasuke's heart was extremely turbulent under his calm appearance. Others might not know, but didn't he know how thrilling this special battle was! ?

If he didn't make some necessary preparations in advance.

I'm afraid I would become Orochimaru's vessel.

The most important thing is that, because of the advance preparation, Sasuke not only successfully swallowed everything of Orochimaru in this confrontation, but more importantly!

"Is there anyone else here? Kabuto?"

Sasuke looked at Kabuto with a touch of indifference.

Looking directly at Kabuto's Sharingan, it seemed that at that moment, after a slight tremor, the three magatama that rotated at high speed were perfectly connected, and the special rune marks that reappeared were compared to the perfect hexagram form of the left and right eyes.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!?"

The moment a terrible breath came to his face.

Kabuto felt as if he had fallen into hell, and the cold and chilly breath filled the surroundings.

Making Kabuto subconsciously shout out.

Seeing Kabuto's shocked look.

Sasuke couldn't help but reveal a happy smile at the corner of his mouth.

Mangekyo Sharingan!

This is Sasuke's biggest gain this time.

Through the stimulation on the spiritual level, the power that further erupted.

He finally mastered this supreme secret that belonged to their Uchiha clan. At that moment, Sasuke sincerely thanked Menma in his heart. Although Sasuke has always been very confident in himself, he will also admit that Menma's help is still very meaningful to him.

'The embodiment of spiritual power? Different levels and different aspects of stimulation? Thank you very much, Menma. '

Sasuke gently stroked the corners of his eyes, and the surging power that could be clearly felt.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

The gene engraved in his bones, at the moment of complete eruption.

Sasuke couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and laughed wildly.

Unlike the power swallowed from Orochimaru, Sasuke still needs a long time to adapt and master the Mangekyō Sharingan, which is the power from his bloodline. Almost at the moment of opening, Sasuke can use it freely, including his own eye technique.

This is his own power.

Just as the Uchiha clan ninja who opened the Sharingan would instantly rise to the level of the elite Chunin.

Sasuke, who had obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan, was now undoubtedly at the level of a strong shadow.

This was the talent of the Uchiha clan.

It was the ultimate blood power of their clan.

With such a power, he could finally go to that man with dignity, question him, and determine what the truth of the year was.

But before that.

There were still some things that needed to be done.

"Immediately order everyone in the base to gather, I have something to say."

Sasuke looked at Kabuto Yakushi and said indifferently.

"Uh? Ah? Yes, Lord Sasuke."

Kabuto Yakushi showed a hint of hesitation at first, but when he saw Sasuke's pair of extremely cold eyes, he shuddered and nodded hurriedly in response.

He was afraid that if he hesitated a little longer, he would be killed by Sasuke.
