This is too dramatic."
Rock Lee and Sasuke did not look too good.
Although they wanted to fight with each other, it was not so early.
This meant that only one of them could advance to the next test.
"I have no choice but to defeat you in advance." Sasuke spread his hands helplessly and said in an extremely indifferent tone.
"..." Sakura covered her head in pain.
"That's exactly what I wanted to say." Rock Lee sneered and rubbed his fist.
The civil war of Konoha's geniuses was always eye-catching.
The other Genin came to their senses, hoping to see the different Konoha's Genin.
At the very least, it proved that Naruto was only an exception.
Perhaps the other Genin's strength was not too different from theirs.
With such expectations, they silently prayed.
"It's actually Sasuke. Looks like this battle is very interesting." Kankuro and Temari chuckled.
The scene of Gaara being beaten up by Sasuke was still vivid in their minds.
They looked at Gaara, but the latter was calm, and there was no killing intent lingering around his body.
This abnormal scene was very surprising to them.
Ever since Gaara fought with Naruto, he seemed to have become a completely different person.
He was not as irritable as before, and even his actions were full of grace.
Hiss, what am I thinking?
Temari and Kankuro shook their heads, throwing this thought to the back of their minds.
No matter what, Gaara was not as elegant as before.
Orochimaru, who was hiding in the dark, was also watching this match.
His gaze would occasionally fall on Naruto, full of inquiry towards Reiatsu.
Sensing Orochimaru's gaze, Naruto looked over, only to see Orochimaru revealing a strange smile, turning around, and walking towards the dark.
Naruto's mind moved slightly, leaving Kage Bunshin behind as he followed Orochimaru.
"Step, step, step, step!" Clear and melodious footsteps echoed in the dark space.
After a long time, Naruto stopped, and the woman in Orochimaru's disguise appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Orochimaru, your fetish is really hard to compliment." Naruto smiled and said.
"Hiss ---" Orochimaru revealed a strange smile and licked his lips. "Being obsessed with other things is not what a researcher should be like. Naruto-kun, you are too restricted by these useless elements."
"Yes, I am wrong." Naruto nodded and looked at Orochimaru with eyes full of appreciation, "Orochimaru san is just like I thought. He is a natural scientist."
"Naruto-kun is just like I thought. He has a lot of ambition. At least he won't be stuck in Konoha. I admire him."
After the business talk, the two smiled at each other.
"How are you going to destroy Konoha? At this stage, Jiraiya is here. He has mastered the Sage mode. You are definitely not his opponent. I don't want you to lose your life in this plan." Naruto said lightly.
"Don't worry, this plan will be perfectly implemented. After all, there are spies in Konoha." Orochimaru's tone was full of confidence.
This made Naruto a little confused, but he quickly figured it out.
If Danzo and Orochimaru cooperated, they would definitely be able to restrain Jiraiya.
Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly revealed a malicious smile. He seemed to not care and said, "I want to join this plan."
"Join? That's not good. Naruto-kun, your identity is very sensitive." Orochimaru was stunned, and he was quite surprised.
Like Kyubi and Jinchuriki, Naruto would definitely be monitored by Root. If Naruto gave himself away at this time, it would definitely affect the cooperation with Orochimaru.
Orochimaru did not want Reiatsu to make a mistake in his research. After all, that was the terrifying Kekkei Genkai who might surpass Sharingan.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Naruto had his hands behind his back and looked through the window at the flourishing Konoha. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile: "I just want to add a bit of joy to this performance."
"After staying dormant for so long, of course I have to do something on such a big dance stage."
Not only Konoha's higher-ups, but even Orochimaru greatly underestimated the horror of Kyōka Suigetsu.
This was a good weapon for masochism.
....
"Hey, hey, hey, Naruto, when are you going to defect? I can't wait any longer." Inside the sealed space, Kyubi Ge You collapsed on the chair and scratched his fat belly.
Minato, who was at the side, did not look good.
Although he had already decided to support Naruto, he was still very unhappy to hear that Kyubi was always encouraging Naruto.
"Are you unhappy? Bear with it." Kyubi noticed Minato's expression and couldn't help but sneer.
"Stupid Minato, no matter how hard you try, you can't change Naruto. He is a wise man. If a person like you, who has been brainwashed by Will of Fire, changes his mind, then he is not Naruto, and he is not qualified to be this old man's Jinchuriki." Kyubi tilted his tail and looked proud.
"Compared to that stinky civet cat, Jinchuriki, Naruto is too outstanding. Only he is worthy of my identity and status." Kyubi hummed a song, swinging his tail in front of Minato, constantly teasing his sensitive nerves.
Originally, Kyubi only regarded Naruto as a tool to relieve boredom.
As time passed, he saw the more real Naruto and the terrifying potential that Naruto possessed.
He gradually believed that Naruto could return the Biju's freedom in the future, and he could definitely stand in the sky.
With his arrogant character, he disdained binding Biju, and he would release all the Biju, and might even help Biju become stronger.
Because.
He had been looking for and cultivating the strong.
This kind of Naruto was very much to Kyubi's liking.
He was also very willing to help this kind of Naruto.
Right.
It was not a transaction, but help.
"Minato, when Orochimaru finishes Reiatsu's research, I will also become Shinigami!" Kyubi's eyes were deep, and there was a trace of expectation for the unknown.
"When life advances to a new level, he will see a different scenery." As he spoke, the man who used to live in harmony with tail-beasts appeared in Kyubi's mind.
Perhaps, when he, Shinigami, transformed, he could see him again.
What kind of reaction would he have at that time?
Right now, he really couldn't bring up any expectations for humans.
Those days of fantasy had long been crushed by reality.
When he thought of this, an indescribable emotion welled up in Kyubi's heart.
He quietly looked at Naruto, who was talking to Orochimaru, and his eyes kept flashing.
At this moment, Naruto and Orochimaru had already talked about living things.
Naruto, who had received knowledge of the modern world, had a certain understanding of living things. Whether it was cells, body composition, organs, brain waves, and other theories, Orochimaru benefited greatly.
The biological knowledge of Ninja's world was relatively basic, and Orochimaru groped his way forward alone.
And Naruto, who had knowledge of the modern world, was equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants.
From the origin of creatures to the theory of evolution, and then to cell cloning, this systematic knowledge made Orochimaru feel as if he had seen an intimate friend.
In his heart, he felt that he had benefited greatly.
His gaze towards Naruto was also filled with goodwill.
In his heart, Naruto was already a completely similar person.
The two of them chatted endlessly.
Just in case, Naruto even used Kyōka Suigetsu to form a region that would not be disturbed.
Naruto himself had a lot of questions about living things when he conducted Hollowfication and Shinigami's experiments. After discussing with Orochimaru, he had a clearer understanding of the experiments.
The human body was full of mysteries and could accommodate a variety of different energies.
Natural energy, Chakra, Reiatsu.
These energies could form a delicate balance in the body.
Before Ninja appeared, Mount Myōboku Toad, who was proficient in natural energy, had already existed.
Life, aging, illness, and death were also laws.
After death, the soul would go to the Pure Land.
However, when did Chakra appear?
Orochimaru voiced his guess: "The human body should also be able to form a stream of energy. It is different from Chakra, Reiatsu, and Natural Energy. From the results of my research, Chakra also seems to be external energy."
This was a very bold and even unconventional guess.
All along, the Shinobi world had always believed that Chakra had been refined from the human body into Origin Energy.
The human body and Chakra were inseparable.
"Many people are unable to extract the Chakra in their body. Even in the past documents, there is no related information about Chakra and the natural energy has always been stored in the energy on Earth."
"I also learned about it from Sage White Snake, so I got this guess. Chakra's origin may not have come from our world." Orochimaru muttered.
"From a different perspective, will Chakra limit the evolutionary direction of us humans, trapping us in the cycle of aging, sickness, and death, unable to obtain eternal life?"
"And the natural energy that symbolizes life force and the Reiatsu who symbolizes death is the origin of the earth. If you can cultivate two types of energy, you may be able to break through the boundaries of life and achieve eternal life." Orochimaru's tone became fanatical.
Orochimaru's words were shocking, even shocking.
If other Ninjas heard this, they would definitely deny Orochimaru.
But Naruto would not.
"Your thoughts are the same as mine." Naruto revealed a warm smile, giving Orochimaru the greatest affirmation: "This is also one of the reasons why I insist on Reiatsu's research." "Compared to the Psychic Beast, the lifespan of humans is too short. How can a mere hundred years be enough to spy on a higher level of power?"
"That's why I have to break away from the control of Konoha as soon as possible and obtain freedom. Only then can I conduct research."
"I need to find the direction to enter the Pure Land and obtain more Reiatsu. This way, I can transform to a higher level of life." Naruto's tone was calm, but the content could not be ignored.
"I see, I see." Orochimaru's eyes were filled with enlightenment, and he muttered to himself, "You want to enter the Pure Land?"
"Could it be..." Orochimaru seemed to have thought of something suddenly, with a look of shock on his face.
"Yes, I want to turn the Pure Land into my world, transform the souls that I have, and form a great army. One day, I will counterattack Shinobi world!"
"I will take over the Shinobi world, abandon all the rules of decay, and let the Shinobi world usher in a new life!"
Naruto's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a loud voice.
