The moment when the cold fangs of the white-scaled black-haired snake, with Orochimaru's ecstasy and determination to win, bit "Naruto"'s neck.
Changes occur suddenly!
The branch in Shadow Clone's hand was attached to Chakra and cut into Orochimaru's snake body.
The white-scaled snake's eyes flashed with fierceness.
This kid completely wanted to trade his life with him, but his goal was to control his body rather than kill him.
This body will soon be mine...
Wrong!
Orochimaru opened his eyes wide.
Naruto, who had just cut off his snake body and was bitten by him on the neck, suddenly began to become transparent and blurry, and then...
With a "bang" sound, Naruto turned into a thick white smoke and quickly dissipated in the air.
Shadow Clone!
This is not the body of Naruto at all.
I was tricked!
"Hiss--"
Only half of it was left, but its consciousness was still alive. The white-scaled black-haired snake let out a shrill and vicious scream.
Its vertical pupils Golden stared intently at the dissipating smoke, filled with the humiliation and fury of being played and calculated.
"Ugh!"
It suddenly opened its mouth again, and from the depths of its throat, it spit out another figure covered in thick and transparent liquid, curled up like a newborn baby!
The newly appeared Orochimaru was lying on the ground covered with fallen leaves and bloodstains in a state of embarrassment, gasping for air and covered with snake mucus.
He raised his head and looked in the direction where "Naruto" Shadow Clone disappeared, and then looked at the white-scaled snake body that was broken into two pieces on the ground and gradually lost its vitality, as well as the remains of a female body that was blown to pieces not far away...
"Damn..."
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a voice of extreme anger and frustration from his throat. The vertical pupils of Golden were burning with cold Flames.
"It turns out... is it Shadow Clone?"
With this move of Shadow Clone Technique, even Uchiha Clan and Otsutsuki who follow Boruto: Naruto Next Generations cannot see the difference between Shadow Clone and the main body.
Even a being like Madara Uchiha can only judge Shadow Clone based on experience. Orochimaru really didn't realize at first glance that this Naruto turned out to be Shadow Clone.
This Naruto Uzumaki... his strength, scheming, and various Secret Techniques he has mastered are far beyond the scope of intelligence and have become a complete and incalculable variable.
Orochimaru slowly climbed up from the ground. Although his new body was in a mess, the basic mobility of Chakra was still there.
With a sullen face, he quickly assessed the current situation.
It seems that the old man has been cultivating him secretly!
The strength shown by the other party is completely different from the one in the intelligence he got, Taijutsu, who has nothing but hard work and is nothing but Naruto Uzumaki.
"Naruto Uzumaki..."
Orochimaru whispered the name, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
Orochimaru-Style Substitution Technique twice in a row made Orochimaru a little bit too much.
He was angry, fearful, and frustrated towards Naruto, but deep down, his greed and desire for "precious Vessel" and "research materials" became even more intense.
The top priority is to readjust the plan, restore strength, and... deal with this unfathomable Blond-Haired Boy more carefully.
Based on Orochimaru's understanding of Minato, Minato must have sealed Nine-Tails into his son before his death.
This means that if the opponent is forced into a hurry, he may enter the Tailed Beast Transformation state. Isn't that a coincidence?
Konoha Crush Plan needs Shukaku to go berserk. If Nine-Tails also goes berserk...
Isn't it a double happiness?
Naruto I don't want to miss this body, so I can only do it this way.
"Naruto Uzumaki, we... will meet again."
Orochimaru took one last look at the messy battlefield, and his figure slowly blended into the shadow of Forest of Death and disappeared.
After meeting up with Team 8 and Neji, Naruto received the memory sent back by Shadow Clone.
The one who chased them before was really Orochimaru.
Naruto keeps walking.
Their four teams now have a total of three Heaven Scroll and four Earth Scroll, which means there is still one Heaven Scroll left before they can all enter the Tower in the center of Forest of Death.
Therefore, twelve people started to sweep away Forest of Death wantonly.
The afternoon sun shines through the window into the clean and tidy living room.
Hanabi is holding a rag, standing on tiptoes, trying hard to wipe the dust high on the bookshelf.
She volunteered to help with the cleaning.
Karin, on the other hand, looked at Hanabi with some embarrassment as he busied himself around. He wanted to help but couldn't help, so he could only help deliver things.
With sufficient nutrition these days, Karin's hair has become brighter red, and the wounds on her body have almost healed.
After Hanabi finished cleaning the bookshelf, he quickly ran into Naruto's bedroom, intending to make the bed as well.
When she lifted up the bed board, she found that the spare set of quilts and cushions under the bed seemed to have signs of being used. Their placement and folding method were different from those she had seen before.
Little Girl's curiosity was immediately aroused.
She came to the living room, looked at Karin sitting on the sofa, blinked her big white eyes, and asked in a tone that seemed to be just a casual question:
"Karin Older Sister, do you... sleep in brother Naruto's bed at night?"
Karin, who was in a daze, heard this and nodded subconsciously. "Yes."
She remembered the night before yesterday when Naruto gave her the bed and made the floor herself. A warmth filled her heart, and a gentle smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and she added:
"Naruto-kun is a very gentle person. He was afraid that I would be scared alone, so he gave me his bed and made a bed next to him..."
Although I requested it because I was afraid at the time, Naruto-kun still agreed.
She paused, recalling the details that made her feel extremely relieved last night, and her voice became softer, with a hint of imperceptible dependence and sweetness:
"... Moreover, when he goes to bed at night, he will hold my hand while sleeping... He is really a reliable person who can bring people a sense of security!"
She was speaking out of a sense of sharing warmth and gratitude, with no other intention.
However, when Hanabi heard it, especially the words "hold my hand to sleep", they exploded in her little mind like thunder!
Sleeping holding hands?!
Hanabi's pure white eyes widened instantly.
She stared intently at Karin, and the innocent expression on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a complex look that was mixed with shock, disbelief, and a sense of crisis.
When he saw Karin touching his face that was gradually turning red, looking like he was intoxicated in memories, the veins in the corners of Hanabi's eyes suddenly popped out.
She turned on Byakugan!
Hanabi's voice suddenly rose in pitch, carrying a sense of oppression that was inappropriate for her age and almost like an interrogation:
"So... Brother Naruto likes to sleep holding Karin Older Sister's hand?"
