Dark Naruto's acting life

It's a nice night.

The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the sky is clear and the air is fresh.

In a valley dozens of kilometers away from Konoha Village.

Gaara and Naruto are experimenting with the abilities of the Mangekyō.

Naruto tested it alone.

Gaara was flying in the air with sand under his feet.

He originally wanted to watch from nearby, but the noise made by Naruto using his Mangekyō was too loud and he couldn't get close at all. In the end, he could only fly high into the sky and use his eyes of sand instead of his naked eyes to observe the situation.

call! ! !

Another violent cyclone blew in from below, and the powerful impact almost caused Gaara to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Gaara finally managed to steady himself, but found that the Eye of Sand placed in the valley had been broken, so he hurriedly looked down at the valley below.

It’s a pity that he was left alone.

At this time, the valley was filled with yellow sand and flying stones, making it impossible to see the specific situation clearly.

But there is one thing Gaara is very clear about, that is, Naruto seems to have acquired some terrifying ability.

Because he saw with his own eyes a huge rock weighing several tons flying into the sky and eventually breaking into powder in front of him.

"Isn't this... a little too exaggerated?"

If there was someone else here who saw the rocks collapsing and the yellow sand filling the sky, he would definitely think it was the end of the world.

But Gaara knew that these were actually all the damage caused by Naruto in an instant.

After a long time.

The valley returned to silence.

After making sure there was no danger, Gaara landed.

"What is this... It seems like the surroundings have been flattened. Wasn't there a not-so-deep river in the valley just now? Where did it go?"

"Uh, I blew it away with my power, but if the source is still there, it should flow back soon." Naruto walked up to him and patted Gaara's shoulder. "You saw everything just now. How good are these eyes?"

"Blowing away a river?" Gaara's face twitched. "You are getting more and more abnormal. You are already very powerful, and with the powerful destructive power given to you by this Mangekyō, I can't think of anyone in the current ninja world who can definitely beat you."

Gaara looked at Naruto like he was a monster.

Naruto smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. There are many hidden talents in the ninja world. Maybe some inconspicuous people can burst out with terrifying strength that you can't imagine. However, now I have the strength to challenge those monsters."

Gaara laughed at this and said, "I don't know if you are being modest or telling the truth. What is the name of this ability?"

"Well... actually there are two abilities, one of which I haven't figured out yet, but the one I just used, I named it... Shinadubiko."

……

A few hours later.

After saying goodbye to Gaara, Naruto came to the territory of the Land of Rice, and found Orochimaru's secret base in the Land of Rice through the Flying Thunder God Kunai given to Orochimaru.

As soon as Naruto approached, Orochimaru had already noticed his arrival.

"Naruto-kun, I didn't expect you to come here just after we parted. Do you have any instructions?" Orochimaru personally came to the entrance of the base to greet Naruto.

Naruto smiled faintly: "I didn't expect to come to you so soon. I can only say that man proposes, God disposes. I won't tell you the details of the situation. Mr. Orochimaru, I want you to help me transplant the Wood Release Cells."

Orochimaru was not surprised to hear this. He seemed to have expected that Naruto would use the Wood Release Cells, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

But it doesn't matter. He has made new progress in his research on Wood Release, and the new technology has already been used successfully by others. Using it on Naruto will be a piece of cake.

Moreover, if it was Naruto, he might not even need to put in any effort and could just give it a simple injection.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru grinned.

"In that case, Naruto-kun, please follow me."

So, the two of them walked into Orochimaru's base together.

This base is very much in the style of Orochimaru, and as soon as you enter you can see a huge snake head statue.

Walking around the statue, the two entered a corridor.

The corridor was lit by dim candlelight.

Dark and cold are the main colors here.

But Naruto's powerful strength is enough for him to face this terrifying atmosphere calmly.

After turning around many times, the two arrived at a laboratory.

The laboratory is very large, about half the size of a football field.

The laboratories are filled with the latest research equipment, various unknown instruments, and large glass containers containing strange creatures that are dazzling to the eyes.

The equipment here is much more advanced than what Naruto has in the underwater base of Wave Country.

Naruto had to admire Orochimaru's abilities.

A traitor ninja had been away from the village for only twenty years at most, but in such a short time he had achieved everything he has now on his own.

Otogakure, a large number of subordinates, and even bases throughout the ninja world...

Naruto looked around and then looked at Orochimaru.

"Mr. Orochimaru, I've always wanted to ask where your research funding comes from. The research equipment here alone must cost hundreds of millions of taels, right?"

"Haha." Orochimaru sneered, "Well, part of this came from someone's funding, some was looted from all over the Land of Rice, and some came from nobles from various countries."

"Nobles? Are you still on good terms with them?"

"There is a little bit of friendship, but it should be more accurate to say it is a transaction. I have been studying the deconstruction of the human body for many years, and I have quite a bit of experience in prolonging and enlarging certain aspects of men. Some dignitaries have become weak in certain parts of their bodies due to excessive indulgence. In order to treat their illnesses, they are willing to pay a lot of medical expenses. In the early days, I used these incomes to establish the foundation of the Sound Village. Later, I found it troublesome, so I developed a medicine to help those gentlemen improve their combat effectiveness, and the effect was very good. After that, someone found out that they wanted to mass-produce that medicine, and then, that medicine sold like hot cakes, and I naturally made a fortune. Naruto-kun, if you need it, I can provide you with a special version of the pill, which is very useful."

"No need. We in the Uzumaki family are very capable and strong. We shouldn't need those things."

Naruto's face twitched. He couldn't imagine that Orochimaru started out by making this kind of thing.

"Sir, let's stop talking about this. Let's get straight to the point. Can you help me successfully transplant the primary cells?"

"Okay." Orochimaru said without hesitation, "But..."

"But what?"

"Naruto-kun, you have read the experimental report left by me in the Death Forest Base. You should know that Hashirama-sama's cells are extremely aggressive. Although I said that I have made a new breakthrough in the transplantation of Wood Release cells and successfully made a Wood Release arm for someone not long ago, in fact, that arm is just the product of diluted Wood Release cells. No one has been able to perfectly transplant the original first-generation cells."

Naruto frowned.

If he transplanted diluted primary cells, would the final result be like Yamato, who could only use them to build houses? That was not the result he wanted. What he wanted was the destructive power of the original Hashirama.

"Haha. Naruto-kun, you are nervous. I don't know about others, but as a member of the Uzumaki clan, you might be able to accept the transplant of the original Hashirama's cells and withstand its erosion. As long as you can withstand the erosion, you will have a chance to master the first generation's unparalleled wood escape technique recorded in the book."

"Why is this again?"

"Because you are a member of the Uzumaki clan, and you are a qualified member of the Uzumaki clan who has activated the Vajra Seal, the innate ability of the Uzumaki clan."

"What do you mean?" Naruto became more confused.

"Madam Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito-sama is from the same Uzumaki clan as you. For some reason, I stole the body of that sama, and by chance, I discovered that the degree of fusion and compatibility of Hashirama-sama and Mito-sama's cells was incredibly high."

Naruto: "Is there any necessary connection between this and my transplantation of Wood Release cells?"

"There is no necessary connection. It's just my personal guess. As for the reason for my guess... well, for example, if Hashirama's cells are a knife that can kill people, then Mito-sama's cells are the only scabbard that can control it.

To be honest, I've never seen anyone whose cells are so compatible, it's like they were forks from a branch.

In order to prove that this is not the only phenomenon, I once wanted to find the lost bloodline of the Uzumaki clan to verify my guess, but the Uzumaki clan had already been destroyed at that time, and the remaining members of the clan also changed their identities, so I couldn't easily obtain experimental subjects.

Not long ago, I heard that there was an Uzumaki clan member in Kusagakure Village. I wanted to find her as an experimental material, but she disappeared. There is a lack of experimental subjects, so everything is just my guess, but my intuition tells me that this is definitely not a phenomenon unique to Hashirama-sama and Mito-sama.

So Naruto-kun...are you willing to give me some blood to experiment with?"

There was one fact that Orochimaru didn't dare to tell the truth.

That is, his research results were actually obtained very early.

That was before the Uzumaki clan was exterminated, and Uzumaki Mito was not dead yet.

Mito was in poor health in her later years, and Orochimaru could easily get her blood sample from the hospital.

Based on that blood, he concluded that the Uzumaki clan and Hashirama's cells were highly fused.

He was still working for the Root at the time, and Danzo was the first to get access to this research result.

Danzo knew that the Uzumaki clan might become Wood Release masters and was afraid that they would be detrimental to Konoha, so he immediately spread the news to Hanzo of the Salamander.

Later, this fact was told to the top leaders of each major village through Hanzo.

At that time, the influence of the First Hokage was still there. They were well aware of the power of Wood Release, and the Uzumaki clan was an ally of Konoha. Once the entire Uzumaki clan mastered Wood Release like the First Hokage, their demise would be imminent. So, the terrified major villages joined forces to besiege and kill the Uzumaki clan, and Konoha stood idly by under the interference of Danzo, which led to the destruction of the Uzumaki clan.

On the surface, everyone said that they were afraid of the Uzumaki clan's powerful sealing technique, but in fact, what they really feared was the possibility that the Uzumaki clan could inherit the first generation's Wood Release.

……

Naruto did not hesitate at all when faced with Orochimaru's offer for his blood.

He let out a little blood and even took the initiative to cut off a piece of flesh for Orochimaru to study.

After that, Orochimaru immersed himself in research.

Two hours later, Naruto got a positive answer.

"As expected, Naruto-kun, your physique and even the physique of all Uzumaki clan members are compatible with Hashirama's cells. According to my guess..."

"No need to explain the principle, just transplant it immediately."

"Okay. But everything comes with risks. Even if I prove that your cells can be perfectly integrated with Hashirama's cells, I am not sure what will happen after they are transplanted into the body. Even so, do you still want to transplant the original Hashirama cells? The probability of failure and success in transplantation is 50% each. After I do some in-depth research, maybe it will be safer..."

"Let's do it now, no need to wait any longer." Naruto expressed his thoughts expressionlessly.

Orochimaru: "Naruto-kun, can I be curious as to why you are so anxious?"

Naruto: "There is no special reason. If I have to say, I want this power, and then I want to use this power to give someone a surprise."

There was a flash of anticipation in Orochimaru's eyes, as if he had guessed something.

"Okay, since it's your decision, I'll get ready now."

……

Three days later, Naruto left Orochimaru's base.

Watching Naruto's back as he walked away, Orochimaru said to Kabuto behind him, "Kabuto, how are the Naruto cells that I asked you to cultivate and reproduce going?"

Kabuto: "It's ready as you ordered."

Orochimaru: "Very good, then after that good show, we will be busy. You should be prepared for sudden death."

Kabuto bowed his head and knelt on one knee: "Yakushi Kabuto is willing to die for Lord Orochimaru."

……

"Brother Kakashi, you're looking for me?"

"Tian Zang, you are here."

A masked ANBU walked into the Hokage's office.

But he didn't call Kakashi Hokage or Acting Hokage, instead he called him "big brother".

Kakashi seemed to have known him for a long time and called him by his name affectionately.

"I'll be frank with you, Tenzang. I plan to transfer you away from the Anbu and become the leader of the Genin. What's your opinion?" Kakashi didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his thoughts.

"I accept." As a member of the Anbu directly under the Hokage, Tian Zang's highest principle is to execute the Hokage's orders.

"Well, then you should give yourself a new name as your code name from now on."

No longer serving as an Anbu, the mask was useless. Tian Zang took off the mask directly. He had a square face, a dull expression, and lifeless eyes, just like a piece of wood.

"Brother Kakashi, you should do it. I'm not good at this."

Kakashi nodded, "Well, then let's call you Yamato. From now on, you will replace me as the new 7th team's responsible jonin, and your members will be Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata. You will meet with them in the afternoon, and then leave the village tomorrow to carry out a long-term tracking and investigation mission."

"Uzumaki Naruto?"

Tenzang...now Yamato couldn't help but frown.

Kakashi: "What's the problem?"

Yamato shook his head and said, "I personally don't have any problem, but..."

Before he could finish his words, an old man with a cane pushed the door open and walked in.

The two people in the office frowned at the same time.

Because Danzo is here.

Danzo's eyes were narrowed as always, looking unfathomable and sinister.

"Kakashi, you are only the Acting Hokage. Sending a Jinchuriki on a long-term mission should at least be discussed with us elders, not just you. What's more, Uzumaki Naruto can't go anywhere right now because he is suspected of a huge case and needs to be thoroughly examined by the Root."
