Orochimaru, One of Konoha's Legendary Sannin

Gaara glanced up at the sun overhead, then at the endless desert. He couldn't help but marvel at his connection with the desert; the place he appeared in in the New World was also a desert. After a moment's thought, he realized he was trying to find Temari and Kankuro.

Upon recalling the extra Ninjutsu and Summoning Jutsu that had appeared in his mind, Gaara immediately focused on the Ninja Dog.

Gaara formed hand Hand Seals and then bit his finger until it bled.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

After a puff of smoke, Pakkun appeared in the desert. Pakkun glanced around and then his gaze fell on Gaara.

"It seems you, little brat, have also been brought here by Lord Charlotte."

"What is it that you summoned me?"

Gaara looked at the Ninja Dog in front of him and said calmly, "Please take me to Temari."

Upon hearing Gaara's request, Pakkun lay down and sniffed around for a while before finally speaking, "She's too far away."

"I can take you in that direction, but it might take a long time."

Gaara nodded and followed Pakkun in one direction.

······

On the other side.

After Charlotte conjured Gaara, she glanced at her current number of Gold Coin: 111,740.

Upon seeing this terrifying number, Charlotte went to the Ninja Recruitment Center, but instead of immediately recruiting ninjas, she set her sights on the Limited Time Return.

It has been more than a month since the last Anbu Limited Time Return, and all the ninjas in it have already been updated. However, because she was short of money before, Charlotte did not pay attention after knowing that it had been updated. After all, it is not a good feeling to have ninjas that can be purchased directly but not have Gold Coin to buy them.

However, Charlotte had plenty of Gold Coin at the moment, so she had no worries and was able to directly access the Limited Time Return.

At this point, the original images of the three Anbu ninjas have all been removed, and in their place are the B-rank Ninja Konoha Sannin Orochimaru, the B-rank Ninja with the Cursed Seal, Sasuke Uchiha, and the B-rank Ninja with the One-Tail State, Naruto Uzumaki.

Charlotte rubbed her eyes as she looked at the three direct-purchase ninjas on the limited-time recruitment page.

They were incredibly helpful, sending him the research talent he had been longing for. Charlotte had been waiting for this talent for who knows how long.

He had even prepared for the first research ninja to be someone like Kabuto or Shion, and he never expected that Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, would appear directly through a direct purchase.

He had always thought that he might have to wait until he recruited Itachi before he could obtain Orochimaru through Recruitment Scroll, since Tsunade was only available through ninja recruitment.

Charlotte then turned her gaze to the other two ninjas, Naruto Uzumaki in his Tailed Beast Transformation. Although it was only the form of the One-Tail State beast, his strength was beyond doubt, surpassing that of an average Jonin.

With the Demon Fox Cloak and the ability to transform into the One-Tail State Naruto, Naruto's destructive power explodes instantly, making his strength incomparable to what it was before. Especially after fusing, Naruto's strength becomes even more formidable.

As for Sasuke Uchiha finally entered his State Two, his strength was arguably at its peak before Naruto Shippuden: Sasuke Uchiha. With the boost from his State Two, ordinary Jonin were no Sasuke for him at this point.

Even when the Sound Four were in their State Two, they were still no match for Sasuke at this point, since Sasuke had obtained the Cursed Seal of Heaven, which greatly amplified his strength.

Charlotte was a little disappointed that Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, wasn't there. After all, she knew that having all three of them would earn her the title of the Konoha Sannin, with corresponding rewards.

After considering the three newly released ninjas, Charlotte realized that only Orochimaru needed a battle slot, while the other two only required ninja fusion. Charlotte glanced at the purchase price of 16,800 Gold Coin, and neither the Ninja Shop nor the ninja recruitment system had any information on these three, nor could they be obtained through other channels for the time being.

Charlotte didn't hesitate at all and bought them all, spending 50,400 Gold Coin in a row, nearly half of her Gold Coin, and gaining three more ninjas.

Looking at the remaining 61,340 Gold Coin, I can't help but sigh that it's truly a case of "the wind blows the eggshell away, wealth disappears but peace remains!"

After purchasing the ninjas, Charlotte went straight to the ninja section, where three new figures with lit-up avatars appeared.

B-rank Ninja - Konoha Sannin of the Orochimaru) 40/40 Recruitment, B-rank Ninja - Naruto Uzumaki One-Tail State) 40/40 Recruitment, B-rank Ninja - Sasuke Uchiha Cursed Seal) 40/40 Recruitment.

Seeing that all three ninjas had appeared in her ninja inventory as 40 fragments each, Charlotte clicked on Orochimaru's portrait to recruit him.

A new screen popped up the next second.

At this time, Orochimaru was in the midst of the Second Shinobi World War. He fought to a draw with Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Hanzo the Salamander and was awarded the title of one of the Sannin. He was dressed like Tsunade, wearing a battle suit and a Konoha ninja Headband!

Congratulations on successfully recruiting a new B-rank ninja: Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru.

Upon opening the ninja's details, Charlotte's first priority was to determine the ninja's skills.

Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru: B-rank Ninja, 2-star

Basic Attacks: Twin Snake Strike, Snake Strangle, Snake Sword!

Substitution Technique: Snake Substitution!

Skills: Snake Form, Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, Legendary Sannin Combo.

Snake Form: Transforms into a snake and dashes forward. Upon hitting an enemy, it will track the enemy's location and emerge from underground. Alternatively, it can stealthily advance for a period of time before bursting out, or it can unleash a large swarm of snakes to attack the enemy.

Hidden Shadow Snake Hands: A giant snake extends from the hand to grab forward. If the grab is successful, the enemy is pulled back to the front and whipped, or Orochimaru directly rushes out from the snake's mouth to attack the enemy.

The Legendary Konoha Sannin - Great Combo: Summons Jiraiya and Tsunade from the Naruto World to launch a combined attack, letting your opponent witness the power of the legendary Sannin. (Let me show you the power of the legendary Sannin!)

Looking at the skills mastered by Konoha Sannin of Orochimaru, even his basic attacks are comparable to the skill attacks of ordinary ninjas. Moreover, Orochimaru has now reached the Kage Level, possessing terrifying strength and combat experience, and has the ability to command battles.

Orochimaru's ultimate technique is even more outrageous, directly summoning Tsunade and Jiraiya from the Naruto World to launch a combined attack. Although it only has the power of a single strike, the combined attack of three Kage Level powerhouses is terrifying. Even a powerhouse of the same level would be crippled if they took this hit head-on.

Orochimaru is not only powerful, but more importantly, he is also very good at protecting himself and conducting scientific research, making him a great asset to Charlotte.

Click to claim the ninja. Charlotte's Chakra level increased by 5 calories, reaching 70 calories, and she also gained a bunch of Chakra's Orochimaru -skin techniques.

After acquiring Konoha Sannin Orochimaru, Charlotte set her sights on Naruto Uzumaki, the One-Tail State - Naruto Uzumaki.

Looking at the third Naruto Uzumaki that was about to be fused into his own, Charlotte thought to himself: If they hadn't merged in the first place, wouldn't there have been an extra army of Naruto, and Naruto would have had two of himself?

However, Charlotte shook her head in the end. What he needed was quality, not quantity. As for the quantity issue, Naruto himself could use a massive number of Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu Naruto to disrupt the overall situation.

Arriving at the portrait of Naruto Uzumaki, the One-Tail State, I clicked on the Ninja Recruitment button.

A new screen popped up the next second.

Naruto Uzumaki had donned the Demon Fox Cloak, revealing a tail, and his face contorted in a ferocious expression, his mouth seemingly shouting "Sasuke!!" In his hand was a crimson Rasengan, which looked exceptionally powerful!

Congratulations on successfully recruiting the new B-rank ninja: Naruto Uzumaki, the One-Tail State.

Upon opening the ninja's details, Charlotte's first priority was to determine the ninja's skills.

One-Tail State - Naruto Uzumaki: B-rank Ninja, 2-star

Basic Attack: Transforms into One-Tail State fox to attack.

Skills: Vermilion Brand, Cruel Strong Fist, Vermilion Rasengan.

Vermilion Brand: Materializes the Nine-Tails Chakra into a fox hand, unleashing a short-range three-hit combo that knocks the enemy into the air.

Cruel Strong Fist: Materializes the Nine-Tails Chakra into a fox hand, knocking away the enemy in front of it before grabbing them back.

Vermilion Rasengan: A crimson Rasengan created using the Nine-Tails Chakra, dashing forward and dealing massive damage to enemies in front! (I will continue to grow stronger until I gain recognition!)

Naruto in his One-Tail State form possesses immense power in this world. Given his current destructive strength, even during the Battle of New York, it's believed he could unleash tremendous power. The only question is whether he could single-handedly defeat the Leviathan.

Furthermore, Naruto's One-Tail State Transformation can now be a constant source of power. He won't faint or get injured after reverting to Tailed Beast Transformation, nor will he go berserk and wreak havoc.

When Charlotte thought of going berserk, she thought of a Naruto with terrifying strength, the indiscriminate limited-use Naruto Uzumaki. This Naruto could not only Tailed Beast Transformation, but also summon Gamabunta and directly transform into the complete Nine-Tails to attack.

The main point is that this exaggerated Naruto is only a C-rank ninja. You should know that Naruto with the 4-tailed form could fight Orochimaru, and with the 8-tailed form, he could even defeat Pain's Deva Path clone. His power with the 9-tailed form could probably destroy the entire New York.

As for the enemies in the Battle of New York, they only needed to leave the Nine-Tails- Tails Naruto below the portal to wipe them all out.

Unfortunately, Charlotte never encountered a C-rank Naruto like Naruto, and it's unknown whether she will later.

Without further thought, Charlotte clicked to claim the ninja. The amount of Chakra in Charlotte's body increased by 5 calories, reaching 75 calories. At this moment, Charlotte, sitting on the sofa in the Reception Room, had a sharper Chakra pressure on her body, which increased by 15 calories in a row, which was already very terrifying. After taking the One-Tail State - Naruto Uzumaki into her possession, Charlotte turned her attention to the third one Sasuke Uchiha.

Looking at Sasuke in front of her, Charlotte couldn't help but marvel at the powerful bond between him and Naruto, both of whom were undergoing the fusion of their three bodies and increasing their strength together. She also wanted to recruit them!

A new screen popped up the next second.

Sasuke Uchiha had now activated his State Two, and his appearance had become considerably uglier, especially his wings, which, while granting him the ability to fly, had also made him look worse! (Wailing Chidori Cursed Seal Sasuke)

Looking at Sasuke's appearance, Charlotte decided that he shouldn't use this State Two. The increase in strength is temporary, but the ugliness is for life.

Congratulations on successfully recruiting the new B-rank ninja: Cursed Seal - Sasuke Uchiha.

Upon opening the ninja's details, Charlotte's first priority was to determine the ninja's skills.

Cursed Seal - Sasuke Uchiha: B-rank Ninja, 2-Star

Skills: Fire Style: Fire Senjutsu, Swift Wind Bullet, Wailing Chidori.

Fire Style: Fire Senjutsu: The user leaps into the air and sprays multiple fireballs towards the ground. The fireballs explode upon impact, launching enemies into the air.

Swift Wind Bullet: The user spins rapidly forward and charges, eliminating any enemies in their path.

Wailing Chidori: After charging up, the user dashes forward, using black lightning in their palm to continuously strike the enemy, culminating in a powerful lightning explosion that knocks them away. (As someone burdened with a mission, defeat is absolutely impossible in a place like this!)

Basic Attack: Taijutsu attack under State Two.

Not only was Naruto's Rasengan enhanced in his Tailed Beast Transformation, but Sasuke's State Two of Chidori Chidori transformed from blue into an even more terrifying black lightning.

Furthermore, Sasuke Uchiha Naruto in his One-Tail State form in this state demonstrates his immense strength.

Between Sasuke, Thor wields Lightning Style, and Hammer, who looks more like the God of Thor?

I wonder what Thor's mindset would be if he met Sasuke who had mastered the Lightning Release: Kirin: Kirin. Maybe he could consider changing his name to Hammer God.

With the Cursed Seal - Sasuke Uchiha being obtained, another 5 Chakra units were added to Charlotte's body. In just one day, his Chakra increased by 20 Chakra units, which is equivalent to an increase of one-third. The large amount of Chakra appearing in Charlotte's body also nourished Charlotte's body and increased his physical strength.

However, Charlotte's Chakra was not extracted from her cells. Instead, it increased within her body, gradually strengthening her body and causing it to slowly evolve in the direction of the Otsutsuki.

With the arrival of the four ninjas, Charlotte's mind gained a vast amount of Ninjutsu. Looking at the memories in her mind, Charlotte knew that in order to turn these Ninjutsu into real power, she needed to master them thoroughly.

It seems that what Charlotte needs to do during this period is to practice Ninjutsu and master her Chakra. Her Chakra has increased too much in the past year, and Charlotte has not been able to improve Chakra fine-grained control over it.

Upon arriving at the Deployment Slot, Charlotte glanced at the plus sign next to it and clicked on it.

Ding! Do you wish to spend 20,000 Gold Coin to unlock a Deployment Slot?

Start!

With the deduction of 20,000 Gold Coin, there was one more battle slot available, so Orochimaru's Ninja Card was immediately placed there.

Ding! Please select the location of the B-rank Ninja, Konoha Sannin, one of the Orochimaru.

A. Within three meters of Charlotte Doyle.

B. Randomized display.

Instead of immediately throwing Orochimaru away, Charlotte materialized him within three meters.

······

A parallel universe to Hokage.

Not long after the war with Hanzo the Salamander ended, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya finished discussing their dreams in a cave.

Before the three could even marvel at their different dreams, Tsunade's figure suddenly went from solid to ethereal, slowly fading away. Before they could react, Tsunade vanished into thin air in the next second. Tsunade Jiraiya Orochimaru, witnessing this, immediately went berserk.

"Tsunade..."

Jiraiya shouted.

The Chakra emanated from the two, shaking the earth and rocks inside the cave. Orochimaru immediately began to check the place where Tsunade had disappeared, but before he could find anything, he saw himself also beginning to turn from solid to ethereal.

Jiraiya was about to rush over, Orochimaru shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

Orochimaru knew that he and Tsunade were about to disappear together, and if Jiraiya, it would be a huge blow to Konoha.

"Jiraiya, after returning to command post, send men to seal off this area..."

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, his figure vanished completely.

Watching the two figures disappear, Jiraiya knelt on the ground in anguish, slamming his fists into the ground, creating a deep crater, and calling out the names of Tsunade and Orochimaru.
