Naruto: I start with one door, and I can open it infinitely.

"Hehehe, interesting. This kid has really killed people before." Orochimaru knew this feeling all too well. However, compared to him, Lin Chuan's killing intent was nothing but a drop in the ocean. But he liked this fearless personality very much.

"As expected of you, Chuan," Shikamaru seemed to understand what Lin Chuan meant and immediately called two teammates to get the Heavenly Scroll.

Seeing the Heaven Scroll in Shikamaru's hand, Lin Chuan tossed the Earth Scroll to Shikamaru, waving his hand and saying, "It's yours, don't be shy..."

"I knew this would happen," Shikamaru said, holding two scrolls in his hand, his lips twitching slightly. They had collected all the scrolls and now they just needed to head to the tower.

"What's this? We've finished collecting the scrolls?" Ino saw the two scrolls, which were the same as the rules that Anko had explained. She immediately turned to Sakura with a smug look. They had already finished the exam first, and it was time to show off.

"Wow, so that's what it means! Let's hurry and change the scrolls!" Naruto was excited to see that scrolls could be exchanged this way and tried to grab some. Unfortunately, it was too late…

"Idiot, it's too late. He can just give away scrolls, can you?" Sasuke sighed and rubbed his forehead. He only realized this when he saw the Heavenly Scroll in Shikamaru's hand. Lin Chuan didn't care about that at all. He could have gone to the tower first, intercepted the examinees who had collected all the scrolls, and snatched them.

"Can't he give us more? Shikamaru and the others already have some," Naruto scratched his head, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Each team only has one scroll. To collect two scrolls, you can only do so by competing for them." Sakura understood the rules as well. Ignoring Ino's smug little expression, she was already seething with anger. She sighed inwardly that she was a step too slow and not as smart as Shikamaru, missing the chance to collect enough scrolls.

Seeing this, the examinees from other ninja villages started to get creative. They could exchange scrolls with the strongest team so that the strongest team could go to the tower and participate in the final battle exam.

"Alright, stop joking. Candidates who have received their scrolls can prepare to enter." Mitarashi Anko gave Lin Chuan a sharp rap on the head. He had just announced the competition rules, and this guy was already cheating, huh? This brat really needs to be taught a lesson.

"Can't you be a little more ladylike? You'll never get married if you do that," Lin Chuan said, raising his hand to cover his head, where there was a big pink bump.

However, upon hearing that Hongdou would never get married, she lost all interest in anything else and instantly glared at Lin Chuan with a dark expression. This brat was truly annoying, actually using the curse of never being able to get married to curse someone else.

Upon hearing the phrase "can't get married," even the examiner who was parting his hair with curling irons in the cabin almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But seeing Hongdou's murderous gaze, everyone held back their laughter, otherwise the hatred would have shifted.

Taking advantage of Hongdou's distraction, Lin Chuan used a teleportation technique to run away, rushing into the Death Forest in the blink of an eye and disappearing without a trace.

When Hongdou realized what was happening, she clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Lin Chuan's disappearing figure. She would teach this brat a lesson when he came out.

As Lin Chuan entered the examination hall, the remaining candidates handed in their consent forms, received their own Heaven and Earth Scrolls, and then ran in groups of three to their respective entrances, preparing to enter the Death Forest.

At noon, the iron gate to the Forest of Death opened, and all the examinees rushed into the Forest of Death to begin their struggle to collect the scrolls.

At this time, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura also arrived in the Forest of Death, and Orochimaru had already followed their scent to find them.

Whoosh, whoosh—

"Hmm? Wind Release? Found you, Snake Uncle's Noob Slaughter Game," Lin Chuan excitedly smiled, creating a shadow clone that carried a jar containing some body tissue.

The shadow clone had used up half of his chakra, so he quickly swallowed a soldier's ration pill to replenish it. His plan had only just begun.

After separating from his main body, Lin Chuan, the shadow clone, searched the forest where the wind was blowing. He saw a large snake coiled around a tree trunk and stopped, not daring to get too close lest he be discovered by Orochimaru, a Kage-level powerhouse.

Instead, he took out his binoculars and quietly observed the trio of Orochimaru and Sasuke he had found; it was a moment when the three were facing off.

Faced with Orochimaru's undisguised killing intent, Sasuke and the other two were stunned for a moment. This killing intent was even stronger than Kakashi's, and Sasuke felt that something was wrong.

There was no time for the three to think. They weren't too scared to move or run away. All three had undergone long-term mission training, so at least Naruto and Sasuke wouldn't be intimidated by Orochimaru's killing intent.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Naruto attacked first, starting with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to test Orochimaru, instantly creating hundreds and thousands of shadow clones that rushed towards him.

"Oh, interesting, the Uzumaki clan, huh?" Orochimaru looked at the blond-haired boy, which reminded him of Minato Namikaze, who had once competed with him for the Hokage position. It was quite a familiar sight. He hadn't expected that guy's child to have grown up so much.

If he wasn't mistaken, this guy should be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. He immediately raised his hand to form hand seals and released a Wind Release AOE attack, instantly sweeping away all the Naruto shadow clones that rushed up.

After being cut by the Wind Release, many of Naruto's shadow clones exploded into a cloud of smoke. Although Naruto had many shadow clones and thought they could hold him off for a while, Orochimaru cleared them all out with just one Wind Release. The backlash from the shadow clones immediately accumulated on Naruto, who collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Upon seeing Naruto's true form, Orochimaru used a Kage-level Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Naruto, grabbed him with his hand, hooked his clothes with his tongue, and ignited purple flames on the five fingers of his other hand. The sealing technique was already formed, and he immediately pressed it against Naruto's abdomen. "To prevent you from interfering with our battle, please sleep for a while. Five Elements Sealing Technique..."

He had no intention of killing Naruto. If he killed Naruto here, the Third Hokage would probably go crazy, hehehehe...

"Tsk tsk, Naruto, even with all that improvement, it's still no use," Shadow Clone Lin Chuan sighed helplessly as he watched Naruto's Nine-Tails being sealed again. It seemed that even if Sasuke and the other two were promoted to Special Jonin, it wouldn't bring any change. Kage-level powerhouses were terrifyingly strong.

"Sasuke, want some scrolls? They're all in my stomach, hehehe," Orochimaru had already swallowed one scroll before, and now he'd stolen Naruto's team's scrolls and swallowed them all as well.

"Damn it, where did Kawa go? At a time like this, he should know something." Sasuke had already activated his three-tomoe technique, but he felt that this person was very strange. He was likely no match for Orochimaru. Even Kakashi struggled with his three-tomoe technique, let alone Orochimaru.

"Such beautiful eyes. You'll die if you don't fight back. Have you thought about how you're going to die?" Orochimaru finished swallowing the scroll and excitedly licked his lips. What a beautiful bloodline limit! He was so excited.

"Sakura, take Naruto and run! I'll hold him off!" Sasuke pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch, intending to do everything in his power to hold off Orochimaru and escape if possible.

"But, Sasuke..." Sakura looked at Sasuke worriedly. This time, the enemy they were facing seemed to be extraordinary. Even Naruto was no match for him.

"No buts, run! Otherwise I'll never like you in my life!" Sasuke didn't turn around. He knew that only by saying this would Sakura take Naruto and run away.

"Hehehe, children's love is really touching," Orochimaru's long tongue kept waving around, it was disgusting in short.

"Okay," Sakura nodded emphatically and quickly left with Naruto, but as soon as they left, they were spotted by a large snake.

Orochimaru did not stop Sakura and the other girl from leaving; in fact, he was more than happy to see them go. Now, he just wanted to carefully consider whether this Uchiha body was suitable to be his vessel.

"Where are you looking?" Sasuke chuckled, regaining his relaxed expression. But when Orochimaru turned to look, Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan widened, and he unleashed a genjutsu on Orochimaru.

"Damn it, genjutsu!" Orochimaru realized he was under a genjutsu and couldn't move his body at all. Sasuke cut him in two with a single stroke.

But Orochimaru wasn't so easily killed. The pain of separation pulled him out of the illusion. His mouth was wide open, and his hands spread it open. A new Orochimaru crawled out of his mouth, and he was back to normal, only covered in slime, which was unsettling to look at.

"Disgusting," Sasuke said, wiping the blood off his kunai. He realized that Orochimaru might be difficult to kill, unaware that Orochimaru had used the Orochimaru Substitution Technique, making him practically unkillable.

"Hehehe, what powerful eyes! I like them more and more the more I look at them!" Orochimaru, though tricked by the genjutsu, couldn't help but scream excitedly and continued to attack Sasuke.

Sizzle, sizzle—

Suddenly, lightning flashed from Sasuke's palm, and at the same time, a thousand birds sang in unison, which immediately stunned Orochimaru.

"Kakashi's Lightning Blade, a decent ninjutsu, what a pity," Orochimaru lamented. Sasuke hadn't mastered it; even if Kakashi himself came, he wouldn't give him a second glance.

In an instant, Sasuke arrived in front of Orochimaru, and Chidori pierced straight through Orochimaru's chest, so fast that Orochimaru didn't even have time to react.

"So fast? What is this?" Orochimaru looked down and saw that his chest had been pierced. He subconsciously looked at Sasuke and immediately noticed that Sasuke's eye sockets had Mangekyou Sharingan that was different from the three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Hehehe, hehehehe, what a pleasant surprise! You've actually activated the Kaleidoscope! That's amazing..."

"You know about the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Sasuke was a little surprised. How come everyone knows about the Mangekyou Sharingan? Is the Mangekyou Sharingan so worthless?

"Of course I know the Mangekyou Sharingan, I'm very familiar with it," Orochimaru said, opening his mouth wide with both hands again and crawling out. He hadn't expected Sasuke to have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. That speed just now must have been due to his eye technique!

Orochimaru, with his extensive combat experience, immediately recognized Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan ability. After all, such speed couldn't have come out of thin air; it must be related to this Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Die!" Sasuke didn't want to listen to Orochimaru's nonsense anymore. He used his Lightning Blade to slice through Orochimaru's body, which had just crawled out, from bottom to top, even cutting his annoying mouth in half.

"Zzzzz," Sasuke watched Orochimaru split in two, the lightning in his palm slowly dissipating as he gasped for breath.

For him now, activating both the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Lightning Blade simultaneously is still too much of a burden, and his chakra is running out.

"That's not enough? It seems the Mangekyou Sharingan isn't quite right for you right now," Orochimaru said, emerging from a snake's mouth and standing unharmed before Sasuke once again.

He discovered that Sasuke was already qualified in ninjutsu and taijutsu, and that Sasuke was already worthy of reincarnation. However, he was not yet proficient in using the Mangekyou Sharingan, and his chakra reserves were also very low.

Once the issues of insufficient chakra reserves and proficiency in using the Mangekyou Sharingan are resolved, Sasuke will be the perfect vessel for unlocking another Mangekyou Sharingan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grin and let out a creepy laugh. "Hehehe, just thinking about it makes me excited, Itachi. Your brother has given me quite a surprise."

"Damn it, I don't have enough chakra," Sasuke felt his chakra being depleted. He could only use Lightning Blade once more before he would faint, but Lightning Blade had already proven that it couldn't kill Orochimaru, so he had no choice but to use that move.

"Come on, kill me if you want," Sasuke pretended to turn and run away, but as soon as he turned around, Orochimaru rushed over. He immediately stopped, turned around, activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and used it to release a genjutsu on Orochimaru.

"Damn it, it's genjutsu again!" Orochimaru tried to stop, but it was too late. As their eyes met, he saw Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan and fell headfirst off the tree.

At the same time, Sasuke instantly deactivated his Mangekyou Sharingan, wiped away the blood and tears from the corners of his eyes. Using the Mangekyou Sharingan twice in a row had already overwhelmed him, and he had very little chakra left. All he wanted now was to leave this place as soon as possible and catch his breath.

But things didn't go as planned. The illusion he had just used to defeat was only Orochimaru's clone, not the real Orochimaru. The real Orochimaru was waiting for Sasuke ahead.

The moment Sasuke appeared, Orochimaru stretched out his long neck, revealing his ferocious fangs and bit down on Sasuke's fair neck, leaving the Heavenly Curse Seal, which resembled three black tomoe.

"Hehehe, to be able to use the Sharingan so skillfully at such a young age, you truly deserve to be called a genius ninja who inherited the name of Uchiha. I still really want to have you..."

Orochimaru retracted the cursed seal from Sasuke's neck, letting out a chilling laugh, while also praising Sasuke, "You two really are brothers. There's a power in your eyes that's even stronger than Itachi's..."

"Who exactly are you?" Sasuke's face instantly turned furious when he heard that name again. Even without chakra, he managed to stabilize himself during his descent and land steadily on the ground.

"My name is Orochimaru. If you want to kill Itachi, if you want power, then fight your way through the Chunin Exams and defeat the Sound Three Ninja I've prepared for you, hehehe..."

"What Sound Ninja Trio? What are you saying?" Sasuke endured the pain of the cursed seal's corrosive influence, raising his hand and gritting his teeth as he clutched his shoulder, completely bewildered by Orochimaru's words.
