Chapter 468: Tempering

Chapter 468: Tempering
Fight for your companions.

This is the determination of these young men, and it is also for the sake of their fathers who have already gone to the battlefield. They want them to watch their fathers and mothers go to fight while they just sit back and wait for the results. Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba and others often cannot accept such a thing, no matter what the situation is.

They were all willing to accept it together.

"Everyone...."

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

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

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

Naruto took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and finally revealed a sunny smile that was unique to Naruto. He spoke 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 we are, we will definitely defeat them!"

"That's it, Naruto!"

They made the same decision and had the same firm heart. They might not know what terrible thing was waiting for them next, but at least at this moment, they stood together in their hearts.

Perhaps only Haruno Sakura's thoughts are a little different.

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

Even though almost three years have passed.

Sakura Haruno is still brooding over it, and this life is different from the original. Compared to Sasuke, Naruto is more obsessed with his own brother, Menma Uzumaki. The obvious difference also causes Sakura Haruno's mentality to change differently.

'Sasuke-kun, where are you now? Are you doing well? Can we meet again?'

The slightly cold face of a young boy appeared in the depths of my mind.

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

at the same time.

Uchiha Sasuke, the one that Haruno Sakura was talking about, also faced his own trial.

The distant southern seas.

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

In the secret base set up by Orochimaru, located in an extremely desolate area.

"Pfft!"

Sasuke, with an indifferent look on his face, waved the Kusanagi sword in his palm and just killed his last training target. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something.

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

The falling words.

Then a figure appeared.

The familiar eerie snake eyes, the sickly pale skin, and the chilling aura that emanated from his body all the time.

"Haha, Sasuke-kun, your perception is getting sharper and sharper. Although it is a little early, it is not much different. Just like what we agreed on three years ago, I am here to collect my reward. Sasuke-kun, are you mentally prepared?"

Orochimaru laughed hoarsely, his pair of snake eyes staring at Sasuke closely. The greed in the depths of his pupils was so naked and not concealed at all.

"Reward? That depends on whether you have the ability to do it, Orochimaru!"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and a sharp aura emanated from them, and a bloody color spread in an instant.

The three inky black magatama in the pupils also appeared clearly.

The atmosphere of confrontation with each other.

Unlike the weak Sasuke three years ago, after three years of rigorous training by Orochimaru, Sasuke has now reached a critical point in both his physical fitness and his ability to control techniques.

Especially the use of the Sharingan.

Orochimaru is the one who has done the most in-depth research on the Sharingan in the ninja world. In order to create the most beautiful and perfect container for himself, the training system he has developed is also the most complete.

Now Sasuke can be said to be a well-deserved 'Uchiha Jonin'!
It is an elite existence who can fight two or even three enemies at the same time as is customary in the ninja world.

But can he deal with Orochimaru?

Especially Orochimaru, who obtained a lot of useful information from Menma.

That raises a big question mark.

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

A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Orochimaru's pupils.

"boom!"

Then came the explosion of chakra and a figure rushing forward.

Sasuke also snorted coldly.

"Zizzssssssssssss!!!"

The lightning suddenly became stronger!!!

A fateful battle.

Two people, each with their own agenda.

Although Orochimaru is undoubtedly stronger than Sasuke in terms of hard power at this stage, due to the influence of the Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique and the Sharingan's innate ability to restrain Orochimaru, it is still a fifty-fifty fight.

"Boom!!!"

Especially when the intention is very special and clear.

The process of this battle will appear even more unusual, because just after the initial roar, everything returns to calm.

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

Especially after a long period of time.

There was a moment of special 'snake breath' coming from far inside.

Yakushi Kabuto's heart began to tense up.

As Orochimaru's most trusted subordinate.

Participated in numerous experiments.

Kabuto Yakushi is very clear about some of the methods of his lord Orochimaru, the technique of the Living Corpse Reincarnation, the technique of the Impure World Reincarnation, the Eight-Headed Technique, the technique of the Curse Sealing, as long as it is Orochimaru's trump card, there is nothing that Kabuto Yakushi does not know.

Even these techniques, Kabuto Yakushi has mastered the relevant core, but he is currently limited by some special objective factors, which prevents him from mastering them. However, in the original work, Kabuto Yakushi who learned the fairy technique in the later period is almost a replica of "Orochimaru" and is more than twice as powerful.

The talent of Kabuto Yakushi can also be seen from here.

Therefore, he knew better than anyone that the battle had reached the most critical moment.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

If I must say, Kabuto Yakushi during this period was still relatively loyal to Orochimaru, and he definitely hoped that Orochimaru could win. In his dark life over the past twenty years, it was Orochimaru who brought him the meaning and value of survival. He was living a relatively happy life like this, and at least he did not feel that he was wasting his time.

In fact, this battle.

From the very beginning, Kabuto Yakushi's suggestion was to use all the strength to suppress Sasuke, and then let Orochimaru easily take over Sasuke's body. But for some reason, Orochimaru shook his head and refused after just a short thought.

So, this is a special battle.

Orochimaru's loyal subordinates, such as Kabuto Yakushi, could only wait outside.

After waiting outside for most of the day.

Others didn't notice it, but Yakushi Kabuto could faintly sense that the unusual aura inside had dissipated. "Could it be?"

Just as this thought appeared in Yakushi Kabuto's mind.

next second.

"Da da da da da da da"

A crisp sound of footsteps slowly came from far away.

Yakushi Kabuto's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

In his range of perception.

The chakra aura approaching felt very familiar, yet very strange. It felt like it was him, yet it didn't feel like he was her.

This is an extremely dangerous feeling.

Even though it is winter.

A lot of sweat was oozing out of Pharmacist Dou's forehead.

who is it?

Which one is it?
"What? Are you still expecting Orochimaru to win? Kabuto?"

At that moment when the figure went from blurry to gradually clear.

A faint and clear voice followed.

The moment he saw that slender and straight figure, and the scarlet magatama Sharingan in the pupils.

Yakushi Kabuto's pupils suddenly shrank.

This doesn't mean that Orochimaru has failed.

But this tone.

This magnanimity.

This feeling.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Orochimaru?
No, it seems that this cannot be said. For a moment, Kabuto Yakushi still saw the figure of his own Lord Orochimaru in the young man in front of him, but that was just a figure after all, not his own Lord Orochimaru in the real sense.

"Is it Uchiha Sasuke?"

It takes about half a day.

But at this moment, one can clearly sense the extremely dangerous aura from Sasuke.

Completely different from before.

"Is this what swallowed up Orochimaru-sama!?"

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

This development is really heart-stimulating.

You know, even if they don't need to take action, Kabuto Yakushi still thinks that Orochimaru has more than 70% to 80% chance of winning.

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

Our Lord Orochimaru's research on the soul realm and the Sharingan is absolutely the best in the ninja world, and no one can compare to him. It's fine if he can't defeat Uchiha Itachi, but how could he not be able to defeat Uchiha Sasuke who only has a three-magatama Sharingan! ?
But that's the truth.

Sasuke defeated Orochimaru.

Even when Orochimaru was well prepared, Sasuke still won easily. At least, from Sasuke's appearance and the obviously calm look in his eyes, Kabuto Yakushi could tell that Sasuke did not seem to be in great danger.

It felt like he had easily swallowed Orochimaru in reverse.

But what Yakushi Kabuto didn't know was.

Sasuke's calm exterior hides a turbulent heart. Others may not know, but doesn't he know how thrilling this special battle is?!
If you don't make some necessary preparations in advance.

I'm afraid I'm going to become Orochimaru's vessel.

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

"Could there be anyone else here? Kabuto?"

Sasuke said to Kabuto Yakushi with a calm look.

Looking directly at Kabuto Yakushi's Sharingan, it seemed that at that moment, after a slight tremor, the three magatama that were spinning at high speed were perfectly connected, and the special rune mark reappeared, and then the left and right eyes each manifested a perfect hexagram shape.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!?"

The moment a terrible breath hit me in the face.

Yakushi Kabuto felt as if he had fallen into hell, with an icy and chilling aura surrounding him.

This made Pharmacist Dou scream out subconsciously.

Seeing Yakushi Kabuto's shocked look.

Sasuke couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

This was Sasuke's biggest gain this time.

Through stimulation on the spiritual level, the power is further unleashed.

He finally mastered the supreme secret that belonged exclusively to their Uchiha clan. At that moment, Sasuke sincerely thanked Menma in his heart. Although Sasuke has always been very confident in himself, he also admits that Menma's help is still of great significance to him.

"The manifestation of spiritual power? Different levels, different aspects of stimulation? Thank you very much, Menma."

Sasuke gently stroked the corners of his eyes, and he could clearly feel the surging power.

"hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

The gene engraved in the bones bursts out completely at that moment.

Sasuke couldn't suppress his inner excitement and laughed wildly.

Unlike the power absorbed from Orochimaru, Sasuke still needs quite some time to adapt to and master the Mangekyō Sharingan. This is the power that comes from his bloodline. Almost from the moment it is activated, Sasuke can use it freely, including his own eye techniques.

This is real power that belongs to him.

Just as an Uchiha clan ninja who has opened the Sharingan will instantly leap to a level comparable to that of an elite Chunin.

Sasuke, who has obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan, is now undoubtedly at the level of a powerful Kage.

This is the innate talent of the Uchiha clan.

It is the ultimate bloodline power of their clan.

With such power, he can finally go find that man with dignity, question him, and find out what the truth of that year was.

But until then.

There are some things that still need to be done.

"Gather everyone in the base immediately. I have something to say."

Sasuke looked at Kabuto Yakushi with a calm look.

"Uh? Huh? Yes, Sasuke-sama."

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