Naruto Keeps Corrupting Sasuke, Planning to Lure All the Female Ninja from Other Villages Back to Konoha

Naruto walked out and came before Sasuke.

"Naruto!" Sasuke suddenly called Naruto's name.

"Sasuke!" Naruto reflexively called Sasuke's name for no apparent reason.

Naruto froze for a moment, wondering if he had gone stupid. They had just called each other's names for no reason, like it was some kind of code.

"You became a Jonin."

"Not important. Once people like you grow up, whose strength won't surpass that of a Jonin?" Naruto decided to keep leading Sasuke astray. "Sasuke, did you know that the Land of Wind, Land of Lightning, Land of Water, and Land of Earth all have many outstanding female ninja?"

"Huh? What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Sasuke, lure all the female ninja from those other countries back to Konoha." Naruto grinned. "Weakening the other countries while strengthening Konoha—it all depends on you."

Naruto's words woke Sasuke from a dream, opening an entirely new door for him.

"Right?" Naruto led Sasuke into Orochimaru's hideout, continuing to sweet-talk him as they walked. "A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its own burrow. Konoha's women can't show off your true abilities, so why not extend your claws to ninja villages in other countries?"

"Naruto, you always manage to give me new inspiration."

White smoke burst from Naruto's body, and he vanished into thin air.

"Unforgivable! I won't forgive him!" Ino's eyes practically spat fire.

Sakura and Ino had been fighting each other moments ago, yet they immediately joined forces to hunt down Naruto, fearlessly charging into Orochimaru's hideout.

Before long, Sasuke, Sakura, and Ino were all completely dumbfounded.
