Naruto Orochimaru: I must win this time

Chapter 278: The Edge of the Old Times

The next day, Sasuke opened his eyes again. He was awakened by the chirping of insects and birds around him.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a disheveled face came into view. He thought it was Orochimaru, and immediately moved back.

"Uh...you...don't come over here!"

"Hey...Sasuke! It's me, I'm Sakura!"

Hearing the familiar voice in his ear, Sasuke gradually calmed down, and he also saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly.

"Sasuke! You're awake! Are you okay?"

At this time, Naruto also appeared in his sight. He looked at Naruto, then at Sakura, but still didn't quite believe the situation in front of him.

"You...are not dead?"

His mind is still normal and he doesn't feel that he is in a pure land.

When Naruto and Sakura heard Sasuke's question, they looked at each other and then smiled bitterly.

It turns out that Orochimaru did not strangle Naruto to death. He just said hello to the Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto's body. After all, they had not seen each other for so long, and he was really afraid that the other party would forget him.

After his warning, the Nine-Tails took back the tailed beast chakra that had been released. There was nothing else it could do because Orochimaru said he would kill Naruto if he continued to mess around.

When a Jinchūriki dies, the tailed beast in his body will also dissipate. It doesn't want to be resurrected ten years later. Even if it is still imprisoned now, isn't it good to be alive?

Seeing that the other party listened to his advice, Orochimaru did not add another layer of seal to Naruto. After warning the Nine-Tails, he used his mental power to knock Naruto unconscious.

In Sasuke's eyes, it looked like he was strangled to death by Orochimaru.

As for Sakura, it was even easier. With a little trick she sank into the ground and completely avoided the heavy attack of Managiya.

Just put her aside afterwards, and Sakura woke up shortly after Orochimaru left.

To be honest, when she saw her two companions fainted, she was also confused and at a loss.

But she knew that she was the only one who could be relied upon in that situation, so she had to be strong.

Fortunately, Naruto woke up yesterday evening, which made her feel relieved and she took better care of Sasuke.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Are you crazy?"

As Sakura said this, she touched Sasuke's forehead with her hand. Sasuke thought she was joking and immediately slapped her hand away.

"Don't move! You had a fever from yesterday afternoon until midnight, and it gradually subsided in the early morning. We were so worried! We were planning to withdraw from the competition!"

Hearing what Sakura said, Sasuke looked at Naruto again, and seeing that he nodded, he let Sakura check.

"Sasuke, what happened back there yesterday? Did you defeat that enemy?"

Look, look! Does Naruto sound like a human? Can he deal with a monster with such terrifying strength? This is too much of a compliment to him.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and immediately touched his neck with his hand.

When he found that the place where he was pricked by the needle was indeed a little painful, he knew that he had been injected with some medicine.

Thinking of this, Sasuke stood up and examined his body carefully.

After checking for a long time and not finding anything different, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, even greater doubts appeared in his eyes.

There was no way he could be checked. Even with medical equipment, nothing abnormal could be found in his body.

Orochimaru injected him with the Uzumaki clan's cell-enhancing potion, which would subtly enhance his body's vitality.

He was not injected with Hashirama Senju's cell potion right away. On the one hand, he was not worthy of it now, and on the other hand, it was just to let the other party have a taste of the sweetness first.

Seeing Sasuke's strange behavior, Naruto and Sakura were puzzled and there was some worry in their eyes.

But the next moment, Sasuke said:

"I wasn't the one who defeated that guy. I... couldn't beat him! He could have easily killed us but he didn't do it!"

He did not explain the details of what happened next, but only expressed his doubts.

"Maybe... maybe... the other party is coming for the scroll in our hands?"

Naruto hesitated for a long time and could only think of this, but his guess was immediately denied by Sasuke.

In fact, he already had a guess in his heart that was closer to the truth: the other party was coming for him.

Considering Orochimaru's performance before and after, it seemed like he was teasing him, with the purpose of making him open the Two Magatama Sharingan, and finally he injected him with some potion.

Although it is not clear what the specific potion is, it should not harm him. After all, the other party could have easily taken his life at that time.

Thinking of that calm face, that devilish smile, that forehead protector... forehead protector? ?

"Do you still remember his forehead protector? That's the symbol of a traitorous ninja! And... he's from Konoha!"

Sasuke was very sure and certain because he saw Itachi cut his ninja forehead protector with his own eyes.

Hearing Sasuke say this, Naruto also remembered and his eyes widened for a moment.

There is a traitor lurking in the Chunin Exam. What is his purpose?

Orochimaru naturally had no idea that anyone had already noticed his sinister intentions. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care because they couldn't cause any trouble.

After punching in, he left the Konoha Forest and hid temporarily on a hill near Konoha. His current body was just a clone, and the real one was still in the Wind Kingdom!

"You called me all the way here just to show off?"

Manshe looked at Orochimaru with some dissatisfaction. Apart from this reason, he could not think of any other reason.

Whether it was him or Mandra himself, it would be easy to deal with Naruto and the others, so why make a fuss?

"Hehehe...it's been a while since I last saw you, let me take you out for a stroll!"

Orochimaru was not angry even though his secret was easily exposed by the other party, as it was indeed the fact.

In order to let the young people see how vast the world outside is, and also to let them feel the sharpness of the old times, Orochimaru doesn't mind relaxing before the war.

"You are so old and still bully a little kid. I think your face is thicker than my snake skin!"

Wanshe mocked again in a sarcastic tone. If it weren't for the food being roasted in front of it, it would have to go back and say a few bad things about Orochimaru to the White Snake Immortal.

There is no other way. I can’t beat him, so I can only report him.

"Don't you feel it? The fox that knocked out all your teeth is inside that yellow-haired brat!"

After hearing what the other party said, Wanshe also remembered. No wonder it felt a little familiar when it saw that guy, and the chakra aura emanating from his body was very annoying to it.

"So that's it! I was wondering why I couldn't control my strength..."

Wanshe obviously recalled some bad memories and said with gritted teeth, why didn't it knock the other party to death at once?

"Humph! That kid got lucky! I will kill him next time I get the chance!"

Manshe, who just kept saying that he should respect the elderly and love the young, now wants to kill Naruto to avenge the humiliation he suffered in the past!

Orochimaru ignored its roar and just flipped the huge fish on the grill.

"As for that Uchiha brat, are you really not afraid that he will grow to that level?"

What Mangeko was talking about was naturally the level of Obito. Since the Mangekyō Sharingan can control the tailed beasts, it should be no problem for creatures like it. Of course, he was also a little scared.

In the original work, Manzo was controlled by Hashira, and died because of Patrick who was attacked by Deidara.

Orochimaru couldn't believe that this guy had such foresight. Could it be that eating too much cooked food really makes one's brain grow?

"Don't worry! Even if he grows up, he will still be just a younger brother as long as I am here!"

Seeing that Orochimaru didn't seem to care, it didn't bother to worry about it anymore. Anyway, it couldn't be contracted by humans again until the other party died.

"It's up to you! Just don't mess it up, or else where will I find you a long-term meal ticket!"
