"What's wrong, Naruto? I feel like you haven't had much energy these past two days. Is it because Chunin Ninja Exams is nervous?"
Konoha On the bustling street, Satsuki turned his head slightly, with undisguised concern in his black eyes, looking at the slightly silent Naruto beside him.
She didn't know that the complex thoughts about Orochimaru and Gaara were swirling in Naruto's mind. She only thought that he was feeling stressed due to the upcoming major exam.
Hearing this warm question, Naruto came back from his thoughts, met Satsuki's focused gaze, and his tone became gentler unconsciously. "I'm sorry for making you worry. I don't mind. It's just that I have a little more things to consider recently."
"That's it..."
Satsuki responded softly and did not continue to ask, but the concern in his eyes did not fade away, "Okay. But if you feel any physical discomfort or encounter any trouble, you must tell me immediately."
Satsuki thought strangely in his heart, Naruto is usually very good at dealing with various situations, whether it is fighting or interacting with people, he seems to be able to do it with ease. Why at this time...
But for her, exploring why is not a priority. Putting Naruto's feelings and safety as the highest priority has long been an instinct engraved in the bone marrow. Since Naruto seems to have encountered a problem that needs to be thought about, then it is up to her to be his most solid backing.
In fact... sometimes, Satsuki would secretly hope that Naruto wouldn't always be so capable and would be so independent.
If he can be more emotionally troubled, if he is not so strong... will he rely more on himself, hold on to himself more tightly, and be more... inseparable from himself? In that case, his gaze and his world may belong to him more completely.
At this moment, Naruto, after briefly responding to Satsuki's concern, his thoughts once again sank into assessing the situation. He repeatedly deduced and analyzed the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves in his mind, and finally came to a clear conclusion. Even without mobilizing the power of the [Jin] organization, his own strength alone seemed to be enough to suppress the storm that Orochimaru might cause.
As long as it is ensured that the First Hokage that comes out of Impure World Reincarnation cannot exert its pre-birth strength, Naruto has a good chance of winning with the power of Orochimaru and Otogakure alone.
It's just that this guy's ability to save his life and his strength after resurrection are too much, and he can be called the Ninja World King of Endurance. If you really want to fight him to the death, you will probably get into countless troubles.
Moreover, to be fair, Naruto deeply cherishes Orochimaru's amazing scientific research capabilities.
If Orochimaru's genius-like scientific mind can be guided onto the right path, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to promote the knowledge progress and technological development of Ninja World as a whole. It would be such a pity to destroy it like this.
Of course, the premise of all this "persuasion and cooperation" is to establish an unshakable bottom line - Orochimaru must not show the slightest covetousness towards Satsuki or Uchiha's power.
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, Orochimaru dares to target [Satsuki]... For the absolute safety of Satsuki, Naruto must eliminate him completely at all costs.
I hope that Orochimaru, who was not crushed and defeated by Itachi Uchiha, that guy who is extremely smart and cherishes his life, can make a wise enough choice this time...
"Hey! Naruto!"
Just as Naruto was immersed in his own thoughts, a deep voice sounded deep in his heart.
It's Kurama.
Naruto was slightly startled. It's not uncommon for Kurama to take the initiative to talk to him.
"What's wrong, Kurama?"
Naruto immediately responded in his heart, and his voice was directly transmitted in front of the huge figure behind the seal door. This conversation only exists between one of them and cannot be noticed by the outside world.
The huge Nine-Tails Fox Demon lay lazily on the water surface of the seal, its vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and the corners of its mouth grinned with an expression showing disdain.
The tone sounded a little troublesome, but it could not hide the inherent arrogance and disdain for a specific object.
"A familiar and annoying guy slipped into Konoha."
Kurama's voice was filled with undisguised disgust, "It's that idiot Shukaku! Its breath is around here. It's its Jinchuriki."
"Go, Naruto! Go and meet it! Don't let it think that it can be arrogant after occupying other people's territory!"
(Zuoji finally got off the plane, and the update is back to normal!
