Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"You noticed it so quickly?"

"That's fantastic!"

"You even adapted to my killing intent so quickly... Sasuke-kun, I'm so happy~"

You excite me!

Even with an unfamiliar face, Snake Aunt's unique... aura still shone through.

Erzhuzi felt nauseous, but he was also stunned for a moment.

Sasuke-kun?

It's been so long since anyone called that...

wrong!

Erzhuzi felt a tightness in his anus. "You bastard... don't look at me like that!"

As Erzhuzi felt a chill run down his spine, his anger also surged rapidly.

"If you want war, then let's fight. Stop with these pointless psychological attacks!"

However, when he discovered that the burning light in Orochimaru's eyes had not disappeared, but instead intensified, he realized that the light was actually growing stronger.

I really regret not letting Naruto and Sakura take action.

"Hehehe~"

Orochimaru gave a sinister smile and raised his hand.

Take a bite on your thumb.

"As you wish."

Whizzing--

After Orochimaru formed several hand seals, a sudden gust of wind arose around him.

Orochimaru slammed his palm into the ground, unleashing a surge of chakra.

"Spiritual communication!"

boom--

A loud bang was heard, and a large amount of white smoke rose up.

Orochimaru silently retreated a distance.

Clearly, he doesn't intend to act immediately.

He needs to carefully observe the vessel that is Erzhuzi.

He wanted to understand every inch of the body.

After all, this was the Uchiha clan he had been coveting for a long time!

As the white smoke dissipated, a large snake came into view.

Snake Eyes stared intently at Erzhuzi, a chilling aura and a pungent, fishy smell wafting over him.

Erzhuzi frowned; the snake's eyes were as big as his head.

In addition, the fire had just been extinguished, clearing a space in the Death Forest.

The terrain advantage is gone.

However, Erzhuzi quickly sneered:

"If it's just a pet of this quality, it's best not to let it out and embarrass itself."

Orochimaru didn't respond, but tilted his head slightly. "Then we'll see."

The giant snake flicked out its scarlet forked tongue, and its aura became ferocious.

The next instant, it hurtled towards Erzhuzi like a cannonball.

It opened its blood-red maw, intending to swallow the human in front of it, who called himself its pet, whole.

However, Erzhuzi pretended to close his eyes.

"Naruto-kun, Sasuke is at it again."

Sakura couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Sakura jumped out: Wow~ Sasuke-kun is so handsome~

Pink Hair has completely settled in Bengbu.

Meanwhile, Erzhuzi was about to be swallowed by the giant snake.

"snort!"

He casually tossed a kunai into the air.

Orochimaru frowned. "Sasuke-kun, what are you doing?"

Don't let me down.

whoosh-

Rumble—!!!

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Sasuke vanished from the spot, and at the same time, Orochimaru's gaping maw was filled with mud.

When he reappeared, Erzhuzi was above the giant snake.

"I see!"

"A substitution technique?"

"The timing was excellent."

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised, not expecting Sasuke to take the initiative in this way.

Clang——

Sasuke took out his ninja sword from the sealing scroll.

Shila-

"Chidori Stream!"

The chirping of the Thousand Birds emanated from the ninja sword.

puff-

As Erzhuzi's body landed, he unleashed a slash, the arc of lightning extending like a thousand-bird spear.

The Thunder Blade encountered no resistance whatsoever.

After Erzhuzi retracted the extended thunder blade, the giant snake's head also separated from its body.

"Show me your true skills."

Orochimaru was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled sinisterly:

"Is that Kakashi's Chidori?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that you not only learned it, but also developed a new ninjutsu based on Chidori."

"That's truly remarkable!"

whoosh-

Erzhuzi didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.

With a quick movement technique, he appeared behind Orochimaru.

puff-

To his surprise, Orochimaru neither dodged nor evaded, but stood still, letting the Chidori spear pierce his heart.

"It seems I really overestimated you. A simple illusion has left you standing there like an idiot."

Erzhuzi, unaware of the dangers of society, felt disappointed.

"Are you so sure I'll die?"

Next up is Snake Lady's most classic scene.

I'm going to throw up on myself!

click -

A strange sound rang out.

Erzhuzi suddenly turned his head.

Orochimaru turned his back to him, tilted his head back, and opened his mouth wide into an exaggerated arc.

puff--

Suddenly, a hand emerged from his mouth.

In an instant, goosebumps appeared all over Erzhuzi's body.

He retreated hastily.

Sakura's eyes widened.

I watched as Orochimaru's second hand emerged from his mouth and slammed downwards.

Orochimaru crawled out of Orochimaru's mouth.

Orochimaru, with his disheveled hair, slowly stood up, his body covered in a sticky liquid.

"Ah~!"

The pink-haired girl screamed and hid in Naruto's arms.

"Naruto-kun, I'm so scared~!"

Erzhuzi retreated to a distance, watching Orochimaru laugh until his whole body trembled.

I couldn't help but say:

"Are you even human?!"

"Am I not human?"

Orochimaru raised his head, brushed his long hair aside, and chuckled, "Sasuke-kun, I wasted a vessel just to let you witness my ninjutsu."

Pu Ni Abo!

Erzhuzi's eyes instantly turned extremely cold.

This guy... he actually wants to use my body to do that kind of thing?

"Go to hell!"

Two Sasuke raised his ninja sword, the Thousand Bird Spear!

Unfortunately, Orochimaru did not allow him to be easily stabbed this time.

With a twist of her supple body, she dodged the Thousand Birds Sharp Spear.

Meanwhile, Anko stood before the corpses of the three Grass Ninja who had been secretly killed by Orochimaru.

She kicked the corpse. "It's been dead for a while. Orochimaru is disgusting."

After saying that, she disappeared from the spot.

Before long, the two gatekeepers, Gangzi Tie and Shenyue Chuyun, arrived.

The two were stunned for a while.

They've seen these three Grass Ninja more than once today!

"Oh no, we've failed in our duty!"

"This... the other party is Orochimaru, who secretly infiltrated Konoha. It's beyond our ability to stop him."

"Let's do it! Anko said she'd personally speak to the Third Hokage. We'll move the body to Ibiki's!"

"Idiot! The person is dead!"

"Oh, oh, oh... I forgot, I forgot."

Red Bean was stopped by Kakashi.

"Proceed according to plan. After meeting the old man, explain the situation and request two more teams of ANBU ninja."

"Just report the truth. The old man definitely wouldn't dare let the information leak out. The ANBU ninja he sent must be a core member of the ANBU."

Please.

Red Bean nodded slightly, then continued rushing towards the Hokage Building.

"Kakashi, what happened?"

"What plans or anything?"

"Kai, just trust me. You don't need to ask anything. Just tell me who to hit later, and that's it."

"All right."

Ok? ? ?

"Kai, what's wrong with you today?"

"Haha, Kakashi, this is a new method of youth training. You don't need to ask anymore."

Matt Kai gave a thumbs-up and showed off his teeth.

But Kakashi felt extremely unfamiliar with it.

Meanwhile, Erzhuzi was already panting heavily.

"hateful!"

"Chidori Stream!"

Two pillars immediately unleash their ultimate move.

Shila-

Instantly, countless bolts of lightning appeared in a small area centered on him.

Orochimaru vanished with a 'bang,' leaving behind an ordinary kunai.

"A substitution technique?"

Erzhuzi's eyes widened.

What does that mean?!

Does that mean you're treating me the same way I treated that giant serpent?

Sasuke's Sharingan spun wildly, and he quickly located Orochimaru's position.

He swung out several kunai wrapped with steel wire.

Orochimaru tilted his head to dodge.

puff-

The kunai was inserted into the tree trunk behind Orochimaru.

"Heh, such an attack can't hurt me."

click -

Erzhuzi formed a hand seal with one hand, gritted his teeth, and jumped onto the steel wire.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

boom!

The fire serpent shot away.

The speed was extremely fast, and Orochimaru was instantly engulfed by the flames.

However, when the flames subsided, Orochimaru only had the hem of his clothes charred.

"Fire-style chakra manipulation... unfortunately, it was still too naive."

Then, he instantly appeared behind Sasuke.

"You're still too weak."

Orochimaru reached out and was about to grab Sasuke's neck.

However, in the next instant, his hand passed through Erzhuzi's body.

"Phantom clones, they're starting to resemble Still Water."

Orochimaru was only slightly surprised, then turned around and threw a punch.

hum-

Erzhuzi was indeed behind him.

However, Orochimaru's fist passed through Sasuke's body once again.

At the same time, the world before our eyes has undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Illusion... Release!"

puff-

Unfortunately, Orochimaru was a step too slow.

His entire arm was severed by a ninja sword.

"Chidori!"

Erzhuzi then spoke frankly to Orochimaru.

"What powerful eye power... That's amazing!"

"Orochimaru, all your tricks are useless against my eyes."

After saying that, Erzhuzi turned around and suddenly pushed off, his body shooting towards the back of a tree not far away.

Orochimaru, who had just finished speaking his heart to him, collapsed like a deflated balloon.

"That's quite a boast."

Orochimaru took it seriously, because he had heard these words before.

Erzhuzi's Chidori was already in front of him.

Orochimaru extended his hand expressionlessly.

Erzhuzi's arm was firmly grasped, and the Thousand Birds vanished in that instant.

"Your eyes are great, so don't focus on the Thousand Birds."

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly. This kid has a really high talent for fighting.

He released the hands that were holding Erzhuzi captive.

Faced with Erzhuzi's close-range fire jutsu, he chose to temporarily avoid the attack and instantly left the spot.

Although Erzhuzi managed to retract his ninjutsu release in time and cancel the aftercast animation.

But Orochimaru still kicked him away.

"So fast!"

Erzhuzi, who was flying upside down in mid-air, frowned deeply.

Orochimaru's movement speed just now exceeded the limit; his Sharingan can currently detect speed.

Next, only by increasing control over the Sharingan can the movements be captured.

But at this moment, Orochimaru stopped attacking.

Instead, he began to appreciate Erzhuzi's prudence.

They should also make a move when they see Erzhuzi.

His snake-like eyes narrowed slightly.

Binding Technique!

Only overwhelming strength can restrain the opponent's methods.

Erzhuzi's eyes widened, and his body stiffened.

His face instantly darkened.

"It seems I still have a long way to go before I can defeat you with my own strength alone."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible look of disappointment flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

But then, in the next instant, his eyes widened again.

Because a massive burst of chakra suddenly erupted from Erzhuzi's body.

In an instant, the binding spell was broken.

"This...it actually managed to break free from my full-force binding spell?"

"Sasuke-kun, you've really surprised me!"

"This power... I didn't expect you to have been hiding it all along. Your talent is in no way inferior to Itachi Uchiha!"

"I want you right now."

Sasuke's eyes were cold as he sensed Orochimaru's binding technique coming again.

This time, he didn't dodge.

Instead, he silently raised his hand and unusually slowly formed a hand seal.

Open the door—open!

The door to rest—open!

The gate of life—open!

Erzhuzi's body rapidly became congested with blood and turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

My body also began to radiate green energy.

Injury point...

Erzhuzi also prepared to open the Injury Gate to further enhance his attack and speed.

However, the damage to the body stopped the opening of the wound.

At the same time, the Nine-Tails' chakra within his body began to repair the damage.

"That's enough."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

"The Eight Gates Formation?"

"Sasuke, I hope you won't use this technique again in the future."

"Besides, the purpose of my visit to you this time is not to fight you to the death."

"If you want the power of revenge..."

whoosh-

Sasuke suddenly appeared in front of Orochimaru.

Both hands remain in the mudra of extinguishing the great fire.

This time, let's see how you hide.

Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly.

While quickly squatting down, form hand seals.

"Spiritual communication!"

boom--

A large amount of white smoke created a shockwave, sending Erzhuzi flying.

Orochimaru stood on the giant snake's head, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, but his smile was even harder to suppress than an AK.

"Sasuke-kun, I really, really want to have you right now..."

"I will leave a token on the Uchiha clan's land."

"If you desire the power of revenge, place this token around your neck, and I will grant you that power."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing if you, now that you've gained power, will come looking for me."

After saying that, Orochimaru formed hand seals again.

But Erzhuzi had already arrived behind him.

He threw a punch, intending to send Orochimaru flying before unleashing his Fire Release technique.

boom--

The giant snake that had appeared beneath their feet returned at that moment.

Another wave of air was stirred up.

Sasuke's fist missed its mark, and Orochimaru disappeared as well.

A moment later, Erzhuzi closed the Eight Gates Formation.

With a thud, he fell to the ground.

A wave of weakness washed over him, and his vision went black.

"A great opportunity!"

Oboro and Yumeka, who had returned, attacked simultaneously.

Unfortunately, just when they were about to succeed...

"asshole!"

Sakura appeared and unleashed a punch.

It hit Meng Huo's body.

The two of them naturally didn't take Sakura's little fists seriously.

Even if it meant getting hurt, Meng Huo chose to kill Er Zhuzi first, or at the very least, render him incapable of fighting.

click-

It's broken!

I broke my ribs!

Meng Huo's eyes widened.

Little did he know, it wasn't just his ribs that were broken.

A tremendous force struck, and Meng Huo's body was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into Long.

boom--

The two men's respirators exploded instantly.

It flew backward and crashed heavily into the tree trunk.

When he landed, he was already dead.

Erzhuzi slowly stood up, the feeling of weakness already suppressed.

"We lost."

Erzhuzi lowered his head.

He knew that he was still far behind Orochimaru.

Once Orochimaru gets serious, he'll be powerless to fight.

Even if they borrow the Nine-Tails' chakra and open the Eight Gates, the outcome will not change.

Naruto patted Sasuke on the shoulder.

The current Zhu Zi is more than twice as strong as in the original story.

However, it's still a bit early to confront Snake Aunt.

Moreover, Aunt Snake is not so easy to kill.

His backup plans are so numerous they're terrifying.

The curse mark on the red bean was also one of the means by which he was reborn.

However, it was absorbed by Naruto a long time ago.

"Come out."

The hydrangea, hiding in the shadows, knew it couldn't escape.

He simply held the sealing talisman and cautiously walked out.

"You...you killed my comrades!"

Her voice is very pleasant.

Even Sakura, who is also a woman, was surprised.

"I...I won't give up so easily..."

Even Erzhuzi couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

Unfortunately, Naruto didn't let her continue.

His deep blue eyes turned blood red.

"Let's face reality."

"Don't dream dreams that can't be realized."

Tsukuyomi.

I watched as the hydrangea, which had lost consciousness in the blink of an eye, collapsed to the ground.

Sakura frowned slightly. "Naruto-kun, you're not planning to...?"

"Have her pass on a message for me: I don't want any changes to the plan. Let's talk about carrying rice later; let's not all come at the same time."
