Instead of answering the question, Asuramaru asked, "Do you want to leave the village and join Orochimaru?"
I suggest you wait a while before going, after all, that guy's body has reached its limit, and there is a three-year interval between each body he changes through his Living Corpse Reincarnation.
"After reincarnation, your strength will become extremely weak, and the stronger you are, the better it will be for Orochimaru."
That's already made very clear.
Sasuke understood as well; this meant waiting for Orochimaru to undergo reincarnation, and he would have three years to grow.
A fork in the road appeared before him.
Whether to stay in the village and grow slowly, or to gamble everything to become stronger quickly, Sasuke, who yearns for revenge, makes his own choice!
When the Amane, Sasuke revealed his thoughts.
The Sound Four had no choice but to wait.
The problem is that Orochimaru inside the base can't wait any longer. This body, which he has used for seven years to achieve the weakest rejection and the most perfect fit, has now reached its limit.
Helpless, he could only turn to Kabuto Yakushi and say in a deep voice.
"I need to reincarnate so that the experimental subjects within the base can start fighting each other..."
"Yes, Orochimaru."
Under Kabuto Yakushi's arrangement, the experimental subject who survived was named Gen'yūmaru. Although he was quite strong, Orochimaru didn't think much of him.
But since things have come to this, there is no other choice.
He could only use the Living Corpse Reincarnation to obtain Gen'yūmaru's body, but the intense rejection left Orochimaru in an indescribably weak state.
On the other side.
Seven days later, the village held a ceremony to appoint the new Naruto, with Hiruzen Sarutobi personally bestowing the title upon Tsunade.
This infuriated Danzo, who was Danzo in the shadows. He should have been the one to become Naruto!
This day attracted almost everyone's attention, and even Konoha's vigilance was somewhat relaxed at this moment.
Sasuke chose to defect.
They went straight from a hidden corner to the outskirts of Konoha and found the Sound Four had been waiting for them.
He chose to leave directly, but before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back and look at Konoha, murmuring to himself.
Goodbye, Naruto.
No sooner had he left than Asuramaru spoke up, reminding him, "Naruto, Sasuke just left the village with the Sound Ninja."
"What?!"
Naruto was watching from below, instantly changed his expression. Looking at the ongoing investiture ceremony above, he knew there was no time for further words.
He quickly looked at Sakura beside him and reminded her.
"Sakura, Sasuke has been taken away by the Sound Ninja. I'm going to go after them. You're in charge of telling Kakashi- sensei and the others!"
Upon hearing this, Sakura's expression also froze.
Worried about Sasuke's safety, he quickly pleaded, "You must bring Sasuke back, Naruto!"
But Naruto left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to say anything.
Arriving at the village entrance.
After explaining the situation to Kotetsu Hagane, who were in charge of guarding the gate, they immediately left the village.
He spoke in his heart.
"Please show me the way, Asuramaru."
"Straight ahead."
Asuramaru didn't bother with any more words and simply pointed out the way.
Having obtained the route, Naruto quickly gave chase, following the directions.
I don't know how much time passed.
Finally, they caught up with Sasuke and the others in a forest.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived.
The group immediately stopped in their tracks.
The Sound Four immediately turned around and activated their Cursed Seal Stage One, attacking Naruto.
"That's the guy! Kill him first, then we're out!"
Jirobo plunged his hands into the ground, lifting up a giant rock that hurtled towards Naruto.
Seeing Tayuya was not far away, raised her flute and began to play that special melody, summoning three different evil spirits.
And vengeful spirits that can devour chakra.
The moment Naruto cleaved the boulder in two, these evil spirits and vengeful ghosts appeared.
Meanwhile, Kidōmaru summoned a spider, which spat out special spider silk to interfere from the side, turning the place into his hunting ground.
Facing attacks from all sides.
Naruto, however, threw several Tri-Pronged Kunai in all directions, while he himself transformed into a golden flash.
They appeared instantly outside the encirclement.
"That ability again, what a nuisance!" Tayuya immediately blew her flute, controlling the demon to attack once more.
However, facing the attack, Naruto wielded his swords with both hands, and blazing flames suddenly erupted from the blades! "Dance of the Fire God - First Form - Round Dance!"
As Naruto swung his burning blade, he unleashed a horizontal slash.
In an instant, a dazzling blazing wheel appeared in everyone's sight, and one of the demons that attacked was bound like a mummy.
It was then split in two.
This scene stunned everyone; they couldn't even sense any fluctuation in chakra!
And it was at this moment.
The moment the kunai hit the ground, Naruto reappeared in front of Jirobo, his hands wielding swords engulfed in flames as he slashed across its neck.
All of this happened too suddenly.
Seeing this, the other three immediately activated their Cursed Seal Second Form without having time to think.
Tayuya quickly reminded him.
"Avoid those kunai! Make sure they don't get close!"
However, to Naruto now, these people were nothing to worry about. He simply threw out his Tri-Pronged Kunai again, and his body transformed into a golden flash.
The target was Kidōmaru, who was standing on top of the spider.

Chapter 266 Farewell, Activating the Three-Tomoe!
"Am I your next target? Don't underestimate me!" A third eye opened on the forehead of that slightly disgusted face.
Spider silk protruded from its mouth, and six hands almost simultaneously drew the bowstring, until finally, a golden spider silk suddenly condensed into a sharp arrow and was nocked on the bow constructed of spider silk.
The summoning spider beneath it also sprayed out several layers of spider silk forward, attempting to block the Tri-Pronged Kunai; the spider silk was extremely sticky.
Even Tri-Pronged Kunai would find it difficult to break through.
He was confident that he could kill him with a single arrow if he showed any weakness!
But it was at this very moment...
Suddenly, Naruto formed hand seals.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tri-Pronged Kunai instantly split into dozens of kunai, tearing through the spider web and rushing straight towards Kidōmaru.
Kidōmaru cursed under his breath at the sheer number of kunai and immediately dodged, but the spider summoning beast beneath him was riddled with holes by the kunai.
This scene also caught the attention of several people.
They weren't given a chance to react.
Naruto's figure flashed, and in the next moment he appeared not far from Sakon and Ukon, releasing several kunai with a thought.
It transformed into golden light once more.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of his opponent, wielding a sword in one hand, the blade blazing with brilliant flames, "Dance of the Fire God - Blazing Sun, Scarlet Mirror!"
Two intersecting fiery slashes cleaved Sakon and Ukon's bodies into four pieces. They didn't even have time to scream before they were completely dead.
Only then did the two remaining people realize what was happening.
Tayuya was closest, immediately played her flute, controlling the remaining demons and vengeful spirits to rush forward.
At the same time, the sound of the flute is used to activate illusions.
Even though he teleported away, Naruto could tell it was some kind of genjutsu as soon as he heard the flute, but luckily Asuramaru was there.
Illusion can achieve complete immunity.
Without any hesitation, he flashed and reappeared on the kunai Tayuya to Tayuya.
Tayuya's expression changed Tayuya seeing the scene before her. "My illusion didn't work?! Oh no..."
But it was too late.
The demon had no time to defend herself, and given her weak close-combat skills, she was doomed once Naruto got close.
Kidōmaru, watching from a distance, was increasingly anxious. "Damn it, this guy is too fast!"
Without much hesitation.
He immediately fired the condensed arrow, guided by spider silk from behind, while roaring angrily without turning his head.
"Sasuke Uchiha, how long are you going to stand here? None of us are leaving until we deal with this guy!"
However, Sasuke completely disregarded this, and a sharp blade appeared as black mist surged at his waist.
His cold, aloof eyes stared at the golden flash in the distance, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
Naruto pierced Tayuya's chest with a single strike, then drew Ryujin Jakka and turned to cut the incoming arrow in half with another slash.
It's gotten to this point now.
Even a fool could see that this was an absolute crushing defeat in terms of strength!
Of the Sound Four, only Kidōmaru remains, and his back is soaked with cold sweat.
However, he remained calm and quickly conjured another arrow, reminding him, "Sasuke, you go and hold this guy off, I'll find an opportunity to kill him..."
Before he could finish speaking...
A sharp blade pierced through his chest, and he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief.
With difficulty, he turned his head, using the last of his strength to angrily question, "You... betrayed us... or was this all... part of your plan...?"
Sasuke sneered at this.
"Do I need a reason to kill you? Now that I know the location of the base, it doesn't matter whether you're here or not."
Having said that, he drew the blade.
Kidōmaru's body then went completely lifeless and fell straight to the ground.
At the same time.
As the sword was being pierced, a system notification sounded in Asuramaru's mind, "[Ding! Detected that Kidōmaru experienced intense negative emotions at the moment of his death, gaining 3000 Emotion Points!]"
A total of 1500 Demon Power was obtained. Should 50% be given Nourishment to the sword master?
Upon hearing this, Asuramaru immediately intervened, saying, "Adjusting the Nourishment ratio for Sasuke to 10% is sufficient; Naruto's Nourishment ratio remains unchanged."
Upon receiving the command, the system's voice sounded again: [Ding! Modified! This time, Sasuke will receive 10% of his Demon Power in Nourishment!]
