Konoha: The Female Ninja Fell Apart After the Diary Was Exposed

If word got out,

what would become of Orochimaru's reputation?

So,

even though he had come for Sasuke Uchiha this time, he would first show this brat what regret felt like.

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

Boom!

Naruto clapped his hands together again. Before Orochimaru's shocked eyes, a sea of
