Walking out of the laboratory, the door opened, and the dazzling sunlight made Naruto narrow his eyes.
"Lord Naruto" A familiar crisp female voice sounded in his ears.
When his eyes adapted to the light, Naruto finally saw Uzumaki Karin's appearance.
"Karin? Long time no see." He revealed a gentle smile.
Seeing the smile, Karin's eyes suddenly became moist.
"It's Karin. She spent a lot of effort to meet me." Orochimaru said with a smile.
As a senior 'trafficker', he did not mind helping others raise geniuses.
Of course, during this time, he would also release his charm without hesitation.
Uzumaki Karin was very talented.
Perception was the most useful ability in war.
Unfortunately, Uzumaki Karin's mind was full of Uzumaki Naruto, and he was unwilling to join Oto Ninja's group of five.
This made Orochimaru quite regretful.
"You have become stronger, Karin." Sensing the presence of Chakra in Karin's body, Naruto smiled.
"To follow Lord Naruto, I will work hard to cultivate." Uzumaki Karin clenched his fists and said seriously.
"Then you have to work hard." Naruto rubbed the soft red hair and smiled.
"This kind of Naruto-kun is really gentle to the point that even I can comprehend it." Orochimaru, who was watching from the side, thought.
For him, a 'Human trafficker', the most proficient skill was to make himself the light in the hearts of the children.
However, his temperament was too cold, and he could not achieve a 100 success rate.
Seeing Naruto's warm smile like the sun, Orochimaru could not help but shake his head and praise Naruto in his heart.
With this kind of elegance and gentleness, no wonder he could make Uzumaki Karin fall in love with him.
It was also this kind of gentle Naruto, who was so shrewd that it made people fear him.
He was looking forward to the scene of Naruto betraying Konoha in the future.
Orochimaru smiled and left, leaving time for Naruto and Karin.
When he first saw Xianglin, Naruto almost didn't remember this fellow he had saved in the Forest of Death.
At that time, he was only doing it casually, but unexpectedly, Karin gave him a surprise.
The increase in her strength was not bad. More importantly, she was loyal to him.
Naruto, who was good at playing with people, could naturally see that Karin was looking at him with the love between a man and a woman.
Love was the easiest to control a person's feelings.
So he gently stroked Karin's hair and praised her verbally,
In the end, she added, "You have to improve yourself while Otogakure is at it. My enemies are very terrifying."
Naruto's trust filled the girl with happiness.
Her eyes were filled with starlight as she looked at Naruto.
She nodded hard and made up her mind to cultivate harder so that she could protect Naruto in the future.
"Lord Naruto, I will work hard. I will become the sharpest Sword in your hands," She said.
Hearing this, Naruto revealed a gentle smile and said softly, "No, as long as you have the power to protect yourself, it will be enough. The future Shinobi world will be very chaotic."
Uzumaki Karin's heart was about to melt.
Orochimaru, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly shouted that he couldn't.
After a simple discussion with Orochimaru, Naruto left some of the money he got from Yuki no Kuni.
He had a cooperative relationship with Orochimaru.
He had the obligation to invest in research.
This sum of money did solve Orochimaru's urgent need.
In the meantime, Naruto made a new conjecture.
"Since the essence of Shinigami is spirit, is it possible to cut your soul and condense a second body similar to Clone?" Although the words were a bit awkward, Orochimaru still directly understood what Naruto meant.
"Chakra is made up of body and spiritual energy, and the Bunshinjutsu used can produce independent consciousness. This is no longer an interesting topic of research. Then, do these Clone Chakra have the existence of soul divided, because the soul can produce independent thinking?"
"From this point of view, we may be able to create a body that can accommodate the incomplete soul, so that the separated Shinigami soul can control this body and form a Clone who will not be blown up," Orochimaru said slowly.
Shinobi world's definition of the soul was too vague.
Even if Orochimaru had been conducting relevant research, he could not find out the truth.
But he had a hunch that everything he wanted to know might be answered on Hollow and Shinigami.
"I will conduct research on this aspect at the same time. Perhaps in the future, you can condense Clone who represents your will and can stay in Otogakure for a long time. "
"If there is a chance in the future, I also want to study the Kyubi in your body. Can the tailed beasts formed by Chakra become Shinigami or Hollow? Where is his soul?"
"I need more rare and precious materials, not simply Genin, or Jonin. Naruto, I think you understand what I mean." Orochimaru smiled.
"Of course, don't worry, there will definitely be a chance to study tailed-beasts in the future." Naruto smiled and nodded.
He did not intend to let Kyubi stay in his body all the time.
When the time was right, he would definitely think of a way to give Kyubi freedom.
Perhaps in the future, Kyubi could also become a part of his own power.
After chatting with Orochimaru, Naruto released Clone and returned to his original body.
"After a long time, I finally came back." Outside Konoha, Tsunade looked up at the towering gate and the symbol of Konoha, sighing incessantly.
"Yes, this time, you are Godaime Hokage." Jiraiya echoed from the side. His lustful eyes fell on Tsunade's chest and he couldn't help but sigh,
"It's really good, really big."
"Bang." Jiraiya flew out like a cannonball, knocking over a dozen trees before stopping.
"Jiraiya, Sensei, it's been a long time since we last met. Your perverted habit is still not sick." Suddenly, a burst of gentle laughter rang out in the forest.
"Naruto" Along with Sakura's joyful cry, a figure flashed through the golden trajectory and appeared on a branch not far away.
The branch was small, but it did not tremble because of Naruto's stomp.
"You are Naruto." Tsunade raised his head and looked at Naruto who was as beautiful as jade. His eyes flashed with astonishment.
This Kyubi Jinchuriki was really somewhat similar to Minato.
But his temperament was more elegant and free.
"What a coincidence, Naruto, did you just end the commission?" Jiraiya stumbled over from a distance, his body covered in scars, and asked with a grin.
"Yes." Naruto landed beside Jiraiya, carrying Kazahana Dotō on his shoulder.
Kazahana Dotō's forehead guard had been removed, and his face was also covered with a mask, so Jiraiya could not recognize Kazahana Dotō's identity.
"If there is nothing else, I will go and deliver the task first. Let's talk later." Naruto said goodbye to Jiraiya and the others and used Shunpo to disappear from their sight.
"This Uzumaki Naruto is quite strong." Tsunade looked in the direction in which Naruto disappeared and whispered, "No wonder Danzo wants Naruto to join Root."
Because Sakura was by their side, they did not mention any secret information.
"If there is a chance, I would like to have a fight with this kid." Tsunade said casually.
"There will be a chance. Go back to the village, future Godaime Hokage."
Not long after Tsunade returned, he inherited the position of Godaime Hokage.
On that day, the uneasiness hanging over the heads of the villagers finally disappeared.
They cheered enthusiastically and welcomed the succession of Godaime Hokage, Senju Tsunade.
The Senju clan was a family that created Konoha and was loved by the villagers.
Tsunade's return had once again gathered the already scattered and restless hearts of the people.
They burst out with enthusiasm and longing for the future.
Naruto and Danzo stood in the middle of the crowd. Looking at the high-spirited Tsunade, a trace of battle intent flashed in Naruto's eyes.
Tsunade was good at healing and would be a little lacking in attack skills, but his strange strength was still very astonishing.
Tsunade's overall combat strength was not as good as Jiraiya's, so she should be a good opponent.
He wondered if Danzo's strength could compete with Tsunade's.
Naruto looked at Danzo. The latter stared at Tsunade on the stage. His turbid eyes were filled with strange emotions. There was greed, and unwillingness.
"Sensei, do you want to be Hokage?" The corners of Naruto's mouth curled up into an evil smile as he asked in a gentle voice.
"Hokage? That is what everyone desires. Don't you want to?" Danzo looked deeply at Naruto.
"I also want to become Hokage," Naruto said warmly. That brilliant smile instantly had a slight change in weight with Minato.
Danzo's heart was filled with endless emotions.
Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato, became the faction of Sandaime, but his son became his disciple.
He also had brilliant golden hair and warm smiles, and he yearned to become Hokage.
This should be said.
Fate is playing tricks on people.
Sarutobi Hiruzen happily watched Tsunade succeed the throne, his muddy eyes flashing with tears.
During the time of his appointment, he had considered too much for Konoha, but after passing down the position of Hokage, he felt deeply relaxed. At this moment, he was no longer Sandaime Hokage, but an old man who was about to die.
Of course, he still had to intervene in Godaime Hokage's political career.
After all, Tsunade had been away from the village for so long, so he was not familiar with many affairs in the village. If he did not have Sandaime Hokage's help, how could she manage the village?
Sandaime watched the succession ceremony happily, full of confidence in the future of Konoha.
Not long after the succession ceremony ended, Danzo took Naruto back to Root base.
This succession ceremony ignited his desire for the position of Hokage once again.
Now that Tsunade was still young, staying in this position for ten years was definitely not a problem.
Tsunade had a very bad impression of Root.
The following days could be imagined that it would be the most difficult day for Root.
Danzo's face was extremely ugly.
He knew.
If he followed the original trajectory, he would never be Hokage in this life.
It seems that I still have to cooperate with Orochimaru as soon as possible, but my whereabouts will be very closely watched. Who should I find as Root's messenger? Danzo sighed, his gaze stopping on Naruto.
He regarded Naruto as his successor and invested a great deal of effort into Naruto.
He was well aware of Root's darkness, and he was also worried that it would cause Naruto to feel ill towards Root.
Therefore, he always used commissions to make Naruto accept Root's darkness step by step.
It made the darkness reasonable in Naruto's heart.
However, the recent changes made Danzo anxious.
Hollow was currently a relatively unknown project, and Naruto's Kekkei Genkai was something that Root had always wanted to master.
It was just that it was not the time to extract Naruto's cells.
Danzo did not want to alert the enemy.
Before that, let Naruto come into contact with Root's core business.
After he integrated into Root, he would request to study cells.
At that time, Naruto would not refuse.
But before that, he would pave the way for Naruto to become Root's leader.
Loyal, loyal, and loyal subordinates, and subordinates with a certain level of scientific ability.
So, he looked at Naruto and said with concern, "Your rate of completion for this period is not bad. Take a good rest for a few days. I will send someone to inform you about the specific arrangements later."
"Okay, Sensei." Naruto nodded and retreated. He looked at Danzo before leaving.
This man covered in bandages seemed to be deep in thought in the dark.
The atmosphere around him was extremely uneasy.
Along the way, Naruto passed by a laboratory and saw a familiar woman doing something around the experimental body.
The familiar mask was Neri's mask.
Neri was treated very well by Root, and there was also a unique laboratory.
Naruto watched Neri's experiment with great interest.
Neri took out a piece of muscle tissue from the experimental material and placed it in the nest that was raised on the other side.
The black insects swarmed out and squirmed densely on the muscle tissue.
Soon, the bodies of these insects were covered with blue light, and the temperature of the air was significantly reduced. The snow frost condensed in the nest.
It actually gave people a wonderful feeling.
"Is this an insect that can absorb the ice element Chakra?" Naruto raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Have you seen enough?" At this time, Neri, who was focused on the experiment, stopped. Her voice was cold.
"I'm sorry. I didn't peek on purpose. It's just that your experiment was too interesting. I was fascinated by it." Naruto walked into the laboratory and apologized gently.
Seeing that the newcomer was Naruto, Neri did not fuss about it and continued the experiment in her hands.
Just before, she had received Danzo's summons and was told that she would treat Naruto as her master and follow Naruto.
For Neri, who grew up with Root, obeying orders was her nature.
There was no ripple in her heart.
No matter who it was that obeyed, it would only affect her research.
"Is this a bug that can absorb Chakra?" Naruto asked gently from the side.
"Yes," Neri responded gloomily.
"Strange, can these insects directly absorb Chakra from the muscle tissue? After a person dies, will the Chakra in the body not flow away?" Naruto asked curiously.
Hearing this question, Neri couldn't help but look at Naruto with a high opinion.
He didn't expect that Naruto still had some insight into this aspect.
"I used special insects to preserve the parts. These insects that can devour Chakra and Kekkei Genkai are also special insects that I cultivated through research." Neri's tone was very proud.
Only when she talked about insects would her mood fluctuate so much.
"Then can these insects release Hyōton?" Naruto pointed at the blue insects with surprise.
Neri shook his head regretfully. "Although I can't use Ninjutsu if I get bitten by him, the blood in my body and Chakra will freeze in an extremely short period of time. The specific performance still needs to be tested. Do you want to try?" Neri looked at Naruto calmly.
"No, I have trypophobia." Naruto smiled and took a step back, politely refusing.
Neri curled her lips and said no more.
However, the next moment, Naruto's words aroused her interest.
"By the way, have you studied the soul?"
