Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 72 Bones and Snakes (Sixth update, please give me a monthly ticket)
Uchiha Sasuke.
This name made Orochimaru's eyes fluctuate a little.

He was silent for a moment: "There's no point in bringing him back now."

Reincarnation is not without limitations.

If you want to reincarnate again, you have to wait at least three years.

"Please, Lord Orochimaru, allow me to shine a little light for you in the last moments of my life." Kimimaro pleaded.

Orochimaru raised his head and glanced at Kabuto Yakushi: "Kimimaro, I really hope you are a healthy person."

"I am willing to pay a high price for this, even if it means sealing my feet again."

Kimimaro was indeed his most satisfying subordinate.

Loyal and powerful.

He also possesses an extremely rare bloodline limit called "Corpse Bloodline" that can be compared to the "Sharingan".

It's a pity
He was suffering from a serious, incurable disease that even he was helpless to cure.

"Lord Orochimaru." Kimimaro said in a heavy tone, "It is my body that is holding you back."

Orochimaru stopped talking and thought in silence.

His feelings for Kimimaro do not affect his judgment.

"Since you have such a request." After a long while, he finally spoke, "Then do me one last favor."

"Do you know Uzumaki Naruto?"

Kimimaro nodded: "One of the culprits who caused you to become like this."

"Find him." Orochimaru said softly. Although he was killed by Naruto once, he was not so gnashing his teeth when he mentioned his enemy. His voice even sounded a little happy. "Then try to see if you can bring him back."

"If you can't do it"

"Just tell him that I want to discuss a cooperation with him."

"His father, the Fourth Hokage, also used the technique of 'Shiki Fuujin' and was sealed in the body of that god of death."

"If he wants to release the Fourth Hokage's soul, he should come to me in the Land of Rice."

"I can also teach him the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."

Kimimaro agreed, somewhat excitedly, "Yes, I will risk my life for Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru looked at him.

His eyes were nostalgic and heavy.

"Kou, you go with Kimimaro." He added an order softly.

Kabuto the pharmacist was stunned.

"This is a reward for loyalty." Orochimaru grinned.

The pharmacist replied, "Yes."

They got ready and set out.

It was not difficult to obtain the whereabouts of Naruto and Karin. The two of them did not hide their tracks and traveled openly.

In half a month, we visited seven "temples" and "shrines" that worshipped different gods.

The shrine near the seaside enshrines the god named "Ebisu".

The few families inland worship gods such as "Konohana Sakuyahime", "Oyamazumi-no-Mikoto" and "Okuninushi-no-Mikoto".

These shrines are prosperous.

There are many believers, and countless people come to pray every day, and you can even see some ninjas.

but.
The results of Naruto's communication with these priestesses and monks were not very satisfactory.

They knew nothing about the origin and existence of these gods.

The most that can be said is something like "The origins of these gods' existence are even older than that of the Six Paths Sage."

Even in Xianglin's perception.

Many people who say this are lying.

This does not mean that the content of those paintings is false, but that they do not believe it in their hearts.

People who worship gods are not necessarily pious.

This is Naruto's biggest gain in this period of time.

The Land of Fire, a prosperous town.

Inside the barbecue shop.

"These people are too unreliable." Xianglin couldn't help but complain, "If those believers knew about this, they would tear them to pieces."

Naruto smiled and shook his head, "Maybe we will be the ones those believers want to tear apart alive."

Xianglin tilted her head, somewhat confused.

Naruto didn't explain and took out the map, "According to the direction we are heading now, after two more towns we will reach the capital of the Land of Fire."

"The temples there should be more reliable."

Karin picked up her chopsticks and naturally put the meat on Naruto's plate before picking up another piece for herself: "I hope there will be some useful information."

between them talking.

Naruto raised his head and looked towards the door.

Five not-so-strange chakras walked in.

Those five chakras.

There was one who noticed Naruto the moment he entered the door and woofed.

It is a white dog with brown drooping ears.

"Naruto?" The young man riding on the white dog understood the meaning of "Woof", glanced his head, and met Naruto's eyes.

It is Konoha's Team 8.

The leading jonin is Yuhi Kurenai.

The one with the dog riding on his head is Inuzuka Kiba, the girl with the white eyes beside him is Hyuga Hinata, and the one with a faint but dense breath is Aburame Shino.

Kurenai Yuhi ran into Naruto and felt a little embarrassed.

When Naruto left the village, she was the first one to speak up to stop him.

But no one expected that Naruto would be the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Compared to her, Inuzuka Kiba was much more natural and greeted her cheerfully: "Naruto, long time no see!"

He trotted over and sat down at the table next to Naruto, "Teacher Kurenai, this way!"

Hinata also wanted to go over.

Aburame Shino never had any opinions, so he didn't object. Yuhi Kurenai could only follow and sit down.

It was just a coincidence that I ran into Class 8 in this place.

They had just completed a C-level mission and were preparing to have a barbecue to celebrate.

Inuzuka Kiba was very warm to Naruto and cared about him.

Kurenai Yuhi tried to speak as little as possible, but in order to express her apology, she took the initiative to pay the bill for Naruto and the others.

Wait until you finish eating.

"Naruto, are you really not going back to Konoha?" Inuzuka Kiba stood at the door, looking at Naruto.

Haven't seen you for just a few months.

He found that Naruto seemed to have grown a lot taller. In the past, he had to look down, but now, he had to raise his head slightly to look him in the face.

Hinata huddled behind Kurenai Yuhi, her eyes eager but hidden.

She also stared at Naruto closely.

"Not going back." Naruto shook his head, "I have important things to do."

"Good luck with your ninja career."

Inuzuka Kiba opened his mouth, scratched his head, and nodded: "Okay, but if you have a chance in the future, remember to come back to Konoha to see us."

"There are still many people in the village who are concerned about you."

Naruto agreed, "Well, I'll come visit you guys when I get a chance."

They waved goodbye.

The two groups were heading in different directions.

"That little girl with the rolling eyes seems to like you a little." Xianglin suddenly spoke and uttered these words.

Naruto was startled, he thought for a moment: "It's because I defeated the Sand Village during the Chunin Exams."

"Ya is also very enthusiastic towards me."

Xianglin shook her head, looking serious: "I'm not talking about the kind of love between friends."

"It's the kind of love between a man and a woman."

When you like someone, your eyes and expression are different.

Karin confirmed it 100%.

The girl named Hyuga Hinata is just introverted and shy, and doesn't seem to show much, but she definitely likes Naruto.

While eating, she secretly glanced at Naruto a total of eighty-seven times, an abnormally high frequency.

"Really?" Naruto scratched his head, not taking it seriously, "It turns out that girls also like me."

Karin was stunned, sighed, and kicked the gravel on the roadside.

Emotionally
This guy is unexpectedly a fool.

Outside town.

"We found Uzumaki Naruto." Kabuto Yakushi spoke and asked Kimimaro beside him, "What are you going to do?"

Just as Kimimaro was about to speak, he coughed twice and spat out two mouthfuls of blood: "I don't have much time left."

"Just be direct."

He paused, looked at Kabuto Yakushi, and said with some warning: "This is my battle for Lord Orochimaru, you are not allowed to interfere."

"If I can defeat him, you take him back."

"If I can't do it"

"You will come out and carry out Lord Orochimaru's second order."

Pharmacist Kabuto nodded: "Don't worry, I won't interfere."

He reached out and handed over a pill.

Kimimaro narrowed his eyes at him.

"Don't worry, this medicine can temporarily stabilize your physical condition and also block your pain." Pharmacist Kabuto explained, "Of course, after you take it, there is almost no hope of returning alive."

Kimimaro took the pill without hesitation, put it away, and then left instantly.

Yakushi Kabuto looked into the distance expectantly.

Naruto stopped and looked in one direction.

"Someone is coming?" Karin stopped, closed her eyes, and used Kagura's mind eye to sense a strong chakra coming towards them. "It seems... not as strong as Orochimaru?"

This half month in the Fire Country.

In the first few days, there were still some short-sighted ninjas who came to our door.

There are some "dark departments" in small countries.

Or a rebel ninja on the run.

They all want to capture Naruto and exchange him for some money, or control resources like the "Tailed Beasts".

Although Konoha has already released the news.

Uzumaki Naruto killed Orochimaru, one of the "Three Ninjas", and left the village only to practice.

The Sand Village also spoke out to take sides - this was one of the compensations they made for their failure in the "Konoha Collapse Plan".

The remaining three countries were strangely silent, and no action was heard.

But these small countries and "rebel ninjas" do not quite believe such rumors.

A twelve-year-old kid
Possessing the ability to kill the "Three Ninjas"? Who would believe it!
But after being killed by Naruto, they finally believed it, and no one came to look for them in the next few days.

Don't even mention catching this blond kid.

Even trying to get close to him was extremely difficult.

"There will always be people whose greed overcomes reason." Naruto shook his head, "Karin."

The red-haired girl nodded: "I know. I'll hide."

She instantly jumped away from Naruto.

"Kagura's Heart's Eyes"!
Concentrate your chakra.

A moment later, a figure landed on the branch of a nearby tree.

Naruto looked over.

He is a young boy with white hair and abundant chakra, but his physical aura is extremely weak.

"Have you discovered me?" He lowered his head and spoke softly.
