Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 437 concludes with a proposal.

Orochimaru.

The voice of Rasa came from the mouth of the golden giant.

"Do you want to join this battle too?"

If the opponent joins the battle, he will be at a disadvantage unless he brings Scorpion along as well.

But there wasn't enough time. By the time Scorpion arrived, these two would have been able to severely injure him. If Scorpion came over, he would be in danger.

"fighting?"

On the head of the colossal serpent, which was a thousand meters long, Orochimaru's upper body grew out, and an unknown crushing force sprayed onto the serpent's head.

He looked at Rasa's enormous golden statue.

Do you think you have a chance of winning?

Orochimaru grinned and sneered, "I can tell you've put in a lot of effort to target me."

That golden water really does counteract his immortality; after all, once sealed, no matter how he is resurrected, it has no effect.

The opponent must have other magical techniques targeting him.

just.

He underestimated the technology that a researcher was updating and upgrading.

Moreover, the opponent hasn't even reached the Six Paths Realm.

"The two of us are enough to keep you here."

Orochimaru only made verbal threats and did not take any concrete action.

This also made Luo Sha realize that the other party didn't really intend to fight, since the outcome was basically decided in a two-on-one situation.

Although this time, Mu Zhi gave him an opportunity.

But that might not be the case next time; the same fighting method might be less effective in the second battle.

After all, it's hard for someone who's been fooled once to fall for it again.

Besides, if he were to fight back to the death, even if those two won, they wouldn't have an easy time.

"So what are you going to do?"

Rasa had already realized that Orochimaru was now in charge.

"What are you doing?"

Orochimaru pulled his entire body out of the Dharma Body, licking his lips as he looked at Rasa.

"Actually, we've already done enough."

"You're no longer needed here."

When Kino and Rasa fought, Orochimaru wasn't idle; he already had Orochimaru's detailed data on both of them.

There's really no need for anything else. In such a poor place as Sunagakure, there's nothing worth Orochimaru's attention.

"So you can leave now."

Luo Sha, inside the golden statue, had a livid face, even though he had been spared.

But this intense sense of humiliation made him anything but happy.

"Or do you want to stay here permanently?"

Orochimaru looked at the golden man with great interest. Although he didn't know Rasa's exact expression, he could guess that the man's face was not pleasant.

"snort!"

Luo Sha snorted coldly, and the Jin man turned and left.

Even if he was insulted, he didn't intend to actually fight with the other party.

His life is more important.

Watching the departing golden figure, Mu Zhi couldn't help but feel regret that it hadn't broken free from his body even after all that. If it had broken free, he could have tried to make it disappear completely.

Orochimaru saw through Kino's thoughts and shook his head: "Forget it, these people are still useful to Uchiha Kin."

Although it is unknown how Gin obtained the ninjutsu from other ninja villages, Orochimaru believed that Gin also hoped that the talents of each village would continue to advance.

It would be a pity if he died.

But there's still a troublesome old ghost in the Pure Land.

"As long as they haven't separated from the group, Uchiha Kin doesn't want these people to die."

Kino didn't understand why, but if it was the daimyo's wish, he wouldn't argue.

He was also afraid of being targeted by certain people.

Leaf.

Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan's territory, where most of the clan members had already left, appeared somewhat deserted.

The underground of the Uchiha clan's shrine.

Fugaku Uchiha opened his eyes. His vision was a little blurry, but that didn't stop him from seeing the words in front of him.

"Eternal Eyes".

Fugaku Uchiha touched the corner of his eye; only the eyes of his closest relatives could be opened.

This might be his only way to reach the third level.

"This method is completely unnecessary."

Fugaku Uchiha closed his eyes, for the sake of making the Uchiha clan greater, and because his conscience wouldn't allow him to consider such a cruel method.

"The third floor."

"I will find another way."

Fugaku Uchiha stood up and walked out of the shrine.

Upon reaching the entrance to the shrine's underground area, he picked up the cat-face mask and put it on, still wearing his ANBU combat uniform.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, one cannot become an Anbu member; this is for the sake of the clan's development and Konoha's support.

But he wasn't the clan leader.

The current head of the Uchiha clan is the Eighth Uchiha, who was personally appointed by Kin. Although Kin had already defected with a large number of his clansmen, Fugaku still carried out Kin's appointment.

Once outside the shrine gates, he vanished from his spot and began to approach the Hokage Building, bypassing everyone's blind spots.

The Anbu are guardians who live in the shadows of Konoha. Their identities are kept secret and are completely unknown to everyone except for a select few.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina are discussing something.

"The ninja world today is different from what it used to be. There are tens of thousands of ninjas now. With what Jin left behind, we will surely rise to prominence given time."

The current number of people in Konoha exceeds the total number of all other Hokage currently serving.

Of course, the elites are still the same people. After all, they are all ordinary people who became ninjas, and it takes time to become an elite.

"Furthermore, establishing connections with other countries is essential for development."

The couple discussed how to open the doors of other countries.

To restore the former trade routes.

Konoha has now occupied most of the Land of Fire's territory, and the other ninja villages are in much the same boat.

The remaining half was taken by the Land of Rain.

They have far too many level-three experts, which makes Konoha somewhat hesitant.

Since we can't reclaim the lost land, we can only focus on developing the land we have now.

The amount of money flowing through it was something Minato Namikaze could never have imagined before.

The Hidden Stone Village has the same problem as the Hidden Leaf Village: Onoki acted quickly enough, but the Land of Rain still managed to take away a lot of things.

While the Land of Lightning doesn't have this situation, it's located in the mountains, a place where development is inherently difficult. Even if they seized all the land, development would still be fraught with challenges.

The Land of Wind faced the same situation.

Therefore, due to the ongoing war, the major villages are currently facing a bottleneck.

In theory, if we cooperate for development, the other party has no reason to object.

But the villages have blood feuds with each other, and hatred is not so easy to disappear.

They were forced to lie low for the time being only because of the existence of the Land of Rain.

We want them to unite.

It's not that easy.

"Then let's hold a Chunin Exam."

After all, there used to be Chunin Exams that were held jointly with other ninja villages.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.
