Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Even if someone tries to fuse Water Release and Earth Release, and even adds Yang Release chakra, they will not be able to obtain Wood Release; they will only obtain other attributes.

The only way to acquire Wood Release is to implant Hashirama cells.

Naruto is the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, such an important being. How could the Third Hokage dare to implant Hashirama's cells into Naruto? Was he crazy?

Impossible, that's not how the Third Generation operates.

Was it someone else who did it? Like Danzo?

No, that's even more impossible. With the Third Hokage watching over him, Danzo would never dare to harm Naruto.

Since it wasn't Hashirama's cells, that means Naruto awakened Wood Release on his own.

"Why? What's going on? What's so special about Naruto that he can do things that others can't?" While dodging the vines, Orochimaru put his mind to work and fell into deep thought.

"Or perhaps, there is some kind of connection between Naruto and the First Hokage that has nothing to do with blood relations?"

So caring.

Rather than having Tsunade heal his leg, which is of little consequence, Orochimaru is more interested in figuring out the problem at the moment.

"Such abundant life force! And it even resonated with Grandfather's necklace! Who... exactly are you?!" Tsunade exclaimed in shock, clutching the First Hokage's necklace that was flashing around her neck.

"I remember introducing myself a few days ago. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

As Naruto was speaking, a vine on his right side was torn open.

Orochimaru, with the Kusanagi sword in his mouth, arrived in an instant, his target being Naruto's right arm, intending to cut it off and take it back for research.

Of course, taking the whole Naruto would be even better.

To avoid the two major troublemakers, Konoha and Akatsuki, from coming to our door, the requirements are not high; one hand is enough.

Naruto, already in Sage Mode, had greatly enhanced perception and reaction speed, and noticed Orochimaru's attack.

That's it?

Such a weak and pathetic attack, unable to even scratch the surface, is not worth dodging at all.

Naruto's subjective opinion was that there was no need to dodge, so he completely gave up on dodging.

Triggered by passive instinct, the body automatically avoided the obstacle.

Immediately afterwards, Naruto freed his right hand to use the Rasengan, infusing it with Lightning Release chakra, and pressed it towards Orochimaru.

Tsunade, as if on cue, launched a flying kick at Orochimaru.

In a split second, Orochimaru instinctively chose to take Tsunade's kick, using the opportunity to create distance and avoid Naruto's Lightning Release: Rasengan.

Between two evils, choose the lesser one.

Conditioned reflexes are the physical instincts that every battle-hardened warrior develops. They are often used to complete offense and defense because the brain's conscious reaction is too slow and the body's instincts are not enough to react.

"Your reactions have become much faster," Orochimaru remarked, noticing Naruto's eyeshadow and pupils, his brow furrowing.

"Not as much as Jiraiya's, but your eyes are about the same. You... could it be that you've mastered Sage Mode?"

"Is that so?" Naruto countered.

The vines surged towards Orochimaru, engulfing him completely.

Several sword lights flashed by.

Infused with Sage Chakra, the tree, harder than steel, was easily sliced ​​into several pieces.

The wind chakra on the Kusanagi sword disappeared, and Orochimaru, now holding the sword in his left hand, smiled and licked his lips: "My interest in you has increased even more."

With a flash, he pounced as if teleporting.

"Your opponent is me." Tsunade stood in front of Naruto.

"You now? You haven't overcome your psychological barriers? Ha." Orochimaru chuckled, slashing himself with his sword and splattering his blood onto Tsunade.

"..." Tsunade.

His pupils constricted, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"I told you not to be stubborn, but you wouldn't listen," Naruto said, helping the unsteady Tsunade sit down on a wooden chair.

"You have a good eye, Naruto-kun. But I wonder if you're just ignorant and fearless, or if you really have the confidence?" Orochimaru laughed.

"You can give it a try," Naruto said.

Crimson Nine-Tails chakra covered his entire body.

The four tails swayed unconsciously.

The pupils turned into crosses.

This is...

An incomplete version of the Fairy Fox mode.

Chapter 89 Naruto: Isn't he dead yet?

The smile on his face froze.

Orochimaru remained silent.

A fusion of Sage Mode and Tailed Beasts?

It's so perfect, there's absolutely no resistance to it.

Despite its incredibly high quality, it is also extremely stable, with no excess energy loss or waste.

"Perhaps, research on the Tailed Beasts needs to be put back on the agenda." Orochimaru's thoughts wandered, and then...

He was blasted away.

Naruto in Sage Mode is so fast that Orochimaru can't keep up with him.

Naruto launched a rapid attack using all four limbs.

The terrifying speed produced a sonic boom.

The ground that had been trampled on cracked and collapsed.

Wherever it passed, it was like a monster sweeping across the land, or a raging storm.

Catching up with Orochimaru as he flew backward, Naruto opened his mouth and poured in a small Tailed Beast Ball infused with Sage Chakra, which condensed in the blink of an eye.

Aim at Orochimaru and fire.

He also simultaneously unleashed four tails, which transformed into chakra hands to bind and immobilize Orochimaru, ensuring that the Tailed Beast Ball would hit its target.

Boom!

a bolt from the blue.

The explosion destroyed the ground.

A small mushroom cloud rose into the air.

Naruto looked around.

Suddenly, his body moved to the side on its own.

In its original position, a hand burst forth from the ground, only to miss its target. The five fingertips of this hand were burning with purple chakra, each marked with one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

It is a five-element seal that restricts the overflow of chakra from tailed beasts and is specifically designed to target jinchūriki.

"Your reaction speed is abnormally fast," Orochimaru said quietly.

He was greeted by a small Tailed Beast Ball.

Even though he was standing far enough away, Kabuto Yakushi was still affected by the aftershocks of the Tailed Beast Ball's explosion. As he retreated, a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his face.

"A monster? Heh, Lord Orochimaru, it seems you've run into trouble."

The situation is clear: Orochimaru is no match for Naruto after his outburst. He is basically being attacked one-sidedly, and his counterattacks are powerless to break through Naruto's defense.

It's not just that it broke through his defenses; it couldn't even hit Naruto.

Naruto's movements seemed to require no thought or hesitation; he moved with decisiveness and swiftness.

Naruto watched helplessly as Orochimaru used a combination of Wind Release and Fire Release ninjutsu to create a raging sea of ​​fire, which was easily dispersed by Naruto using a giant hand formed from one of his tails.

Kabuto knew he had no chance of winning, and the question now wasn't whether he could win or not, but whether he could escape unscathed.

"How to do?"

Kabuto carefully observed but couldn't find any flaws in Naruto's demeanor. However, he did notice Dan Kato catching up with Tsunade and talking to her.

Nawaki, who is nestled in Tsunade's arms, can be ignored; the focus should be on Kato Dan.

"I remember Lord Orochimaru mentioning that this person's ninjutsu is very special and rare; it's a technique primarily used to kill souls..."

"I never expected so many changes to happen in the village." After listening to Tsunade's explanation and learning that Orochimaru had defected and even killed the Third Hokage, Kato Dan sighed with complicated emotions.

"Then what about me and Nawaki? We should be dead already, why?"

"I don't know much about the inside story of the Impure World Reincarnation technique developed by my great-grandfather. I only know that it is a forbidden technique that can revive the dead," Tsunade said.

"Orochimaru used a forbidden technique? If it was him who used it, then doesn't that mean..." Kato Dan's expression changed.

He was a Jonin in life, so his thinking ability couldn't have been bad.

Thinking back to the beginning, when the blond boy shouted at him not to move, it was clear that he wanted to seal him and Rope Tree.

Then look at the blond-haired boy and Orochimaru; they are fighting.

An ominous premonition arose.

"How do I undo this Impure World Reincarnation?! Tsunade..."

At the same time, Kabuto's voice rang out: "Lord Orochimaru! Dan Kato!"

Orochimaru, who was being chased and attacked by Naruto at a fast pace and had no time to think about tactics and countermeasures, was somewhat overwhelmed. However, his eyes lit up when he heard Kabuto's reminder.

"Really, how could I forget about him?"

Half of Orochimaru's body was destroyed by a small Tailed Beast Ball, leaving him practically a cripple, half-dead and speechless. He gave a self-deprecating laugh.

It reacted quickly, opening its mouth wide, from which a hand emerged, followed by the rest of its body.

The Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique, unique to Orochi, is the most perfect substitution technique.
