However, when Orochimaru's eyes swept over Naruto's Wood Clone, and when Sensing tried to launch the last secret method in Urashiki's head, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her brows frowned slightly.

This scene is so familiar.

Orochimaru remembered the embarrassing experience he had when he attacked Naruto not long ago.

She was confidently preparing to carve Cursed Seal on Naruto, but she found that the other party only sent a Shadow Clone to deal with it, and the main body was not in danger at all!

The careful arrangement that time was completely in vain and became a laughing stock.

Looking at the crazy "declaration" of Urashiki's head at this moment, and the secret energy rushing towards Wood Clone, Orochimaru could almost instantly deduce Urashiki's intention.

Before dying, he tried to force his mark into the body of the "Naruto" in front of him, to pave the way for future recovery or death.

The corner of Orochimaru's mouth once again raised a cold, slightly mocking arc, and he said slowly to the head of Urashiki, which was rapidly losing activity but still maintained a distorted expression:

"What a pity, Your Excellency. What you 'hit' was just a Wood Clone.

This clone will soon dissipate on its own, along with any 'little gifts' you may have given me, turning into nothingness."

Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted into the Sensing range of Urashiki's remaining consciousness.

The twisted and excited smile on Urashiki's head suddenly froze like a frozen wax figure.

Immediately afterwards, the expression began to change rapidly, from a complacent freeze, to a crack of shock, and finally to a completely broken expression, a mixture of disbelief, rage and final despair...

His last resort, his hope of a comeback, actually... failed in a mere clone?!

Looking at Urashiki's wonderful and dramatic "expression collapse", Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh lowly. The laughter was filled with the joy of scientific researchers seeing that ideal experimental materials are about to be obtained.

People can't even fully empathize with their past selves. How can they expect to empathize with a strange 'other' who has experienced similar experiences?

To her, Urashiki's struggle, despair, and failure of the last resort are just interesting observation samples.

And this corpse, which contains endless secrets, will soon become her most precious research material.

This fact itself is enough to make Orochimaru feel extremely happy and satisfied.

At this moment, another powerful aura quickly approached.

Bang!

A slight puff of white smoke dispersed, and two great immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, stood on their shoulders. Jiraiya, with a distinctive facial makeup on his face, finally turned on Sage Mode, belatedly.

"You're late again."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya.

"No way, last time Konoha Crush Plan, I saw your big snake from afar, so I started saving Senjutsu Chakra on the way, but this time it was too sudden, and it was solved too quickly."

Jiraiya scratched his head in embarrassment.

"We are facing a powerful enemy that even Naruto feels we need to be prepared for. I am cautious and want to join the battle with the most perfect Sage Mode attitude! Hahahahaha!"

He tried to hide a trace of regret at not being able to help with a heroic laugh, but Orochimaru didn't accept this at all.

"You neither plan to change your body directly, nor do you plan to be resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation in the future, so drink less. Don't die so quickly and be an eyesore."

Orochimaru looked at the corpse of Urashiki that was burned by Amaterasu, and felt a little sorry for the corpse.

She looked at Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, I remember you know Fire Sealing Method: Flame Seal, seal this fire, hurry up!"

Jiraiya nodded, Hand Seals his hands, then tore off a corner of his clothes and used it as a carrier to seal Amaterasu inside.

"I will compensate you later."

Orochimaru pulled out Yasohinokami and released a white snake to swallow Urashiki's body. After saying hello to Naruto, he left without looking back.

At night, Heaven-Sealing Earth-Cutting Place's Barrier was opened.

During the day, Naruto and Second sent a large number of clones to eliminate the memory of the incident in the villagers of Konoha.

No one will remember this except a few people from Konoha.

Fundamentally prevent the leakage of this news.

After all, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is still alive. Although he has not come out to cause trouble now, there is no guarantee that he will not come out to act like a monster when he knows that Konoha has the power to kill Otsutsuki.

Naruto doesn't want to face Isshiki yet. That guy Isshiki's combat experience is not comparable to Urashiki's.

Urashiki appeared too quickly this time, and Plow had to locate its original world, so Boruto and Adult Sasuke did not leave.

After the existence of Adult Sasuke was discovered, the Sasuke family of this world rushed over.

"Sasuke..."

Mikoto's voice choked up, and she raised her head and looked at Adult Sasuke's face, which was much more mature, colder, and weather-beaten than her current son.

"You have activated Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, you have such a powerful power... but you still lost a hand..."

Her fingertips gently touched Adult Sasuke's right hand, as if she could touch the countless cruel battles he had experienced through the skin.

"It seems that in the future... you will also suffer a lot."

Mikoto's voice was full of love and sighs, without questioning the reason, only pure distress.

"Ahem..."

Adult Sasuke cleared his throat uncomfortably.

He was a little embarrassed, not that he had encountered a strong enemy.

This hand was lost in the "final showdown" between him and Naruto after Kaguya Otsutsuki was completely dealt with, which determined the future path of Shinobi World and settled all the grudges between them.

In that battle, there was no conspiracy, no outsiders, just him and Naruto. Both of them tried their best, risking each other's ideas, bonds, and even lives.

He used Chidori, Naruto used Rasengan.

The two ultimate blows, representing their respective paths and strengths, collided violently over Valley of the End.

The result is... a lose-lose situation for both sides.

In the violent energy explosion, their attacks not only canceled each other out, but the dissipated energy completely exploded the two people's arms into blood mist, leaving not even a single intact tissue.

It was a true "mutual hand-cutting", and that battle was tragic and pure.

Although the two reconciled later, this dark history of youth and frivolity...

Adult Sasuke really feels a little... embarrassed.

As for not using prosthetics...Adult Sasuke has his own considerations.

This broken arm is not just a scar for him, but also a reminder and a testimony.

It always reminds him of the decisive battle between him and Naruto, of the wrong path he has taken and his final return, and of the indestructible bond and peace gained at the cost of blood and pain.

This is a self-chosen "remembering".

"Just some... payment of the past."

In the end, Adult Sasuke only responded to Mikoto's concern in a low voice and vaguely, without any detailed explanation.
