Why was that Konoha brat, Naruto Uzumaki, here?
And why
had he attacked him?
Baki's eyes widened as he struggled to make a sound.
But
with his heart pierced, he soon lost all signs of life.
After killing Baki, Naruto Uzumaki took care of the two Sunagakure Anbu hiding in a nearby house.
Only after clearing the scene did he use the Flying Thunder God Technique to vanish.
After writing his diary today, Naruto Uzumaki had focused most of his attention on the system's reward, but he had kept track of Temari.
He had sensed it the moment Temari went to find Baki.
To make sure the plan went smoothly, Naruto Uzumaki could not let Baki live now that he knew the truth.
"Orochimaru, Baki discovered your identity. I've taken care of him."
Naruto Uzumaki appeared beside Orochimaru out of thin air and spoke.
He had left a Flying Thunder God Mark on Orochimaru.
So
with the Flying Thunder God Technique,
he could teleport to Orochimaru whenever he wanted.
"I see."
"I'll handle the rest."
Orochimaru was startled by Naruto Uzumaki's sudden appearance, but quickly recovered.
He had discovered the Flying Thunder God Mark on his body long ago.
Still,
Orochimaru did not care much.
If he wanted to,
he could abandon this body through Living Corpse Reincarnation at any time.
As for Baki,
Orochimaru asked no questions.
In his eyes, Naruto Uzumaki harbored far too many secrets.
He was not strong enough yet,
so it was best not to pry.
"Temari is my friend. Don't hurt her," Naruto Uzumaki said after a moment's thought.
Nothing had happened to Temari in the Original Story, but that might not hold true now.
So
he thought it was worth warning Orochimaru.
"Heh heh heh... Naruto-kun, you really do keep surprising me."
