Naruto of Naruto

"Hey, Kurama, is your malice sense malfunctioning? Why didn't I sense Orochimaru's presence before entering the house?"

Naruto stood at the entrance, facing Orochimaru who was looking at him with a smile.

"No malfunction."

"There is no malfunction? Then the only explanation is that Orochimaru has no ill intentions towards me?"

Naruto frowned, took off his shoes as usual, and put on indoor shoes.

"What's wrong, Mr. Orochimaru? If I remember correctly, you are an S-level wanted traitor nin in Konoha."

"Naruto-kun, I'm surprised that you didn't turn your sword on me."

"I don't sense any malice from you. Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to my room in the middle of the night?"

Naruto walked past Orochimaru, took out two cups from the dining table, filled them with hot water, and placed them on the table in the center of the living room.

"I don't have tea here, only boiled water."

Naruto sat cross-legged at the table and turned to look at Orochimaru.

"Aren't you going to sit?"

"In that case, I will be disrespectful."

Orochimaru sat down opposite Naruto, took the hot tea from his hand, and blew it gently.

Naruto held the teacup in his right hand, looked at Orochimaru, and said calmly:

"In a month, you should be making big moves in Konoha Village, right?"

Orochimaru glanced at Naruto in surprise and asked curiously:

"How did Naruto-kun know."

"The Jinchuuriki of Sand Ninja Village actually went to Konoha to take the Chunin Exams, and you participated in the second Chunin Exam. I don't believe there is no connection between the two."

"Oh? It seems that Naruto-kun has become an obstacle to my plan."

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils shrank slightly, as if a poisonous snake was eyeing its prey.

“You’re overthinking it, I won’t tell anyone else about it.

You can sneak into Konoha Village for such a long time, make so much noise in the Death Forest, and still come into my house to chat with me leisurely. If there are no high-level people in Konoha cooperating with you, I don't believe it. "

"Excellent deduction! Naruto-kun.

If I hadn't heard what you said with my own ears, I would have thought you were a reckless man willing to sacrifice yourself to save your companions. "

Naruto frowned.

"There is no relationship between the two, right?"

"Oh? With the rational thinking ability you just showed, didn't you see the potential in Sasuke and rely on your bloodline from the Uzumaki clan to block the curse seal?"

"I just subconsciously wanted to block your attack. My body had already acted before I even thought about it.

Of course, even if I had time to think, I would do that because Sasuke is my companion. "

Orochimaru shook his head. In order to pursue immortality, he even defected from Konoha. He did not agree with Naruto's approach.

"Human life is fragile. Once you die, there is nothing.

Life is inherently meaningless, and if there is, it is unless it is eternity. "

"Maybe you have a tendency to self-destruct subconsciously. You have resentment, hatred, and the urge to destroy this world buried deep in your heart. What you want to do most is to perish together with this world..."

Orochimaru is really good at analyzing other people's hearts. His loyal subordinates are all captured by Orochimaru's inner weaknesses in a few words, making them follow him willingly, even if they lose their lives.

"Maybe, because life is such a fragile thing, so if the lives of others can make some people's lives stronger, then the sacrifice of these people's lives is meaningful."

Naruto said calmly, he was not angry at Orochimaru's offensive comments, it was just a different view than his own.

"What Naruto-kun said is somewhat similar to the Will of Fire in Konoha Village."

"Lord Orochimaru came to me, didn't you just want to talk to me about this?"

Naruto unzipped and took off his coat, revealing the Heavenly Curse Seal on his neck.

"What is this thing that keeps eroding my body?"

"The Heavenly Curse Seal was originally a small gift I planned to give Sasuke."

"What does it do?"

"A person who has been imbued with a curse mark can exert great power, but at the same time, it can forcefully draw out unlimited power. Therefore, it will have a strong erosion on the user. It is a double-edged sword."

Naruto's fingers gently rubbed the location of the Heavenly Curse Seal, feeling a slight tingling sensation.

strength?

If you want to build a peaceful ninja world, strong power is indispensable.

"What is the principle of curse seal? How can we use it?"

Orochimaru's eyes sparkled, he didn't expect that Naruto would ask such a similar question to him.

"The Curse Seal can essentially be said to be a carrier of chakra. The Heavenly Curse Seal was developed by me using the power of the Zhongwu clan. The source of their clan's power is the [Ryuji Cave], one of the three sacred places of immortality. As long as the Curse Seal is released, it will It can greatly improve physical skills. When the second state is activated, it can even change the body shape.

Of course, strength also comes at a price. Fighting in the second state is also a huge trump, and you may enter a period of weakness later.

Of course, if one could master the complete version of immortality, there would be no such side effects. "

Hearing Orochimaru say this, Naruto's expression became serious.

"If I want to practice immortality, what price will I have to pay?"

"Oh? Naruto-kun actually wants to pursue the power of senjutsu?"

"I want to create a peaceful ninja world, and strong power is a must."

"So this is Naruto-kun's ambition? It is indeed a strong wind that I cannot ignore."

When Orochimaru heard Naruto say such bold words, he stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips excitedly.

"As long as you go to Longdi Cave, the White Snake Immortal will use his teeth to inject natural energy into those who come to practice. However, if you cannot withstand the natural energy and start to transform into a snake, you will be eaten by him.

If Naruto-kun wants to go to Ryuji Cave, I will naturally help you, but before that, you can let your body adapt to the power of the curse seal. "

Naruto nodded and gave up using Nine-Tails Chakra to suppress the curse seal. A sharp pain came from his neck and spread to all the limbs and bones of his body. The first thing that bore the brunt was Naruto's brain.

Countless negative emotions were biting at Naruto's nerves like poisonous snakes, making him widen his eyes and lie on the tatami with his head in his hands.

It was so painful, but I could also feel the power starting to spread throughout my body!

The black cloud pattern spread from the curse seal and eventually covered Naruto's entire body.

"This is a Xingxin pill. After taking it, you can quickly transition from state one to state two, but it will take a period of [suspended death], about a day."

Naruto stretched out his right hand, pinched the Xingxin Pill, and slowly stood up. His blue pupils turned blood red due to congestion, and the world in front of him was scarlet.

He opened his mouth and was about to swallow this refreshing pill.

"Maybe it's poison."

Orochimaru said while maintaining his usual smile.

Naruto glanced at her and swallowed the Xingxin Pill into his stomach without hesitation.
