Narration system starting from Konoha

[Uchiha Sora's intentions are sinister; he plans to ensure Kimimaro dies with his eyes wide open in disbelief.]

Orochimaru's sinister laughter echoed through the forest.

"Kimimaro was my most loyal subordinate, and I will always remember him."

Orochimaru saw through Uchiha Sora's intentions at a glance, and he wouldn't be easily fooled. Orochimaru didn't want to argue with a dead man; it was just a couple of lies.

Kong smiled and said, "Indeed, I was overthinking it. How could a person's obsession be so easily eliminated? It seems that you heard the news from the narrator and went to greet Sasuke in advance."

“Not bad, Sora, you’re a smart man. Why don’t you join the Sound Village with your brother and serve me?”

Orochimaru's plan was clever, but Uchiha Sora had already seen through Orochimaru's scheme. He only coveted the Uchiha clan's bodies and wanted to cultivate them into his own reincarnation vessel.

P.S.: I didn't expect to stay up this late. I almost fell asleep several times. I'll upload the chapters first.

Chapter 124 Useless

Orochimaru revealed a playful expression and said, "What a clever child. However, I can quickly improve your strength. Don't you want to avenge your clan?"

"Uchiha Itachi is very strong, but Konoha won't assign strong individuals to provide one-on-one guidance. Only by coming to me can you receive the best treatment."

Kongdao: "Orochimaru-senpai, you must be joking. Aren't you afraid that once we brothers become powerful, we'll join forces and kill you?"

With his hands sealed by the Third Hokage, the senior's strength was reduced by at least half, or even more.

Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly and said, "Heh heh, now that we've met here, many things are beyond your control. I think Sasuke-kun also very much hopes for a brotherhood reunion."

A dangerous aura permeated the air, and a strong killing intent emanated from Orochimaru's eyes, spreading out in an overwhelming manner.

Sasuke moved his feet slightly and stood beside Uchiha Sora.

"Let Kong go back, otherwise you'll have made a wasted trip."

Sasuke is an avenger who doesn't care about being in the darkness, but he wants his younger brother to live in the light.

Orochimaru restrained his aura and said, "Konoha is not necessarily a place of light. Don't forget that I left Konoha back then, and I know better than you the decay and darkness hidden beneath the sunlight of Konoha."

Orochimaru chose to leave Konoha partly because he saw through the corruption, decadence, and darkness of Konoha's leadership; this was not the ninja village he had hoped for.

[Uchiha Sora suddenly felt that Orochimaru wanted to have his cake and eat it too, and the crow disliked the sow for being black.]

It's like, even though I'm treacherous, ruthless, and a mass murderer, I want to be a good person, but no one gives me the chance.

"Hehe, so that's what you think. It seems you only know a few bits and pieces. But let bygones be bygones."

"Sasuke, I promised you I'd let Uchiha Sora go. Now we can leave, or some annoying little bugs will be here soon."

Orochimaru is wrong. Uchiha Sora knows very well why Orochimaru fell into darkness. The sudden death of someone he cherished made Orochimaru realize the fragility of life, thus embarking on the path to seek immortality.

Sasuke glanced at Orochimaru with surprise. So even someone like Orochimaru had bonds. But that was irrelevant to him. His purpose in seeking out Orochimaru was simple: to increase his strength and then kill Itachi Uchiha.

"The ideas of our predecessors are admirable, and they put those ideas into action. On the road of scientific research, sometimes necessary sacrifices are unavoidable."

But I cannot agree with what my senior did. We are not on the same path; we cannot work together if our paths diverge.

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "It seems that Konoha has had a great influence on you. Konoha is a place of gentle pleasures that only leads people to depravity."

This is a crazy and cruel world; to achieve your goals, you must be ruthless and stop at nothing.

Orochimaru thought Uchiha Sora was very talented, which is why he told him so much, at least to leave a good impression. Perhaps once Uchiha Sora sees through Konoha's hypocrisy, he will choose to cooperate with him.

[Kong felt that Orochimaru was running away and making excuses for himself. The purpose of establishing Konoha Village was to eliminate war and spare more people from the suffering of war.]

The Third Hokage and several high-ranking officials betrayed the Will of Fire, but Orochimaru not only turned a blind eye to this but also chose to succumb to depravity and ultimately defect.

"Hehe, that's quite a surprise. I'm looking forward to our next meeting," Orochimaru said with a playful tone.

Orochimaru felt he needed to re-evaluate Uchiha Ku. Among Konoha's new generation, Ku probably understood things best. Even knowing the darkness hidden in Konoha, he still stayed. Was it because he placed his hopes on Tsunade or was there some other conspiracy?

The Konoha leadership isn't exactly friendly towards the Uchiha clan, but Orochimaru is looking forward to certain individuals' actions; when that happens, Uchiha Sora will have no choice but to side with him.

Orochimaru is overthinking it. Uchiha Sora is currently transforming into a spiritual mentor and has a thorough understanding of all the conspiracies in the ninja world. It's basically impossible for Orochimaru to get Sora to pledge allegiance.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from afar, and a figure fled in a disheveled state, leaving behind a sandstorm that blotted out the sky and knocked the trees in the forest to the side.

Sora leaped up, took out a kunai, and shouted, "Orochimaru, I didn't expect you to take action in person. Even if I die today, I will bring Sasuke back to Konoha."

Orochimaru's lips twitched involuntarily. He was always cunning and ruthless, and he would stop at nothing to do anything, but he was still shocked by Uchiha Sora's shamelessness.

"Heh, what a cunning brat. Sasuke, let's go."

He formed a hand seal with his bare hands, and with a whoosh, a python pounced, its blood-red mouth opening to bite his arm.

He swiftly drew a kunai with his right hand and slashed it through the air, severing the python in two, which fell to the ground.

Kabuto Yakushi smiled and instantly sped up to appear next to Orochimaru.

"Dou, you did a good job. You didn't disappoint me."

"It is my honor to serve Lord Orochimaru."

He glanced at Kabuto, whose clothes were tattered, who was in a sorry state, and had many wounds.

Although Kabuto Yakushi is cunning and treacherous, his current strength is still lacking. Facing a group of Konoha and Sunagakure's new generation of elites, he can only be utterly defeated.

"Senior Dou is really in a sorry state."

Uchiha Sora was gloating.

Kabuto said nonchalantly, "As long as I can complete Lord Orochimaru's mission, even death is nothing. The Sound Four, Kimimaro Kabuto, can die for Lord Orochimaru, and so can I."

Sora shook his head and said, "Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi is reminding you that you've already lost five of your subordinates because of Sasuke."

"Lord Orochimaru, Uchiha Sora is talking nonsense."

Kabuto hadn't expected that Uchiha Sora could read his mind, but he didn't care. Sora was Orochimaru's right-hand man, unlike the Five Ninja Swordsmen who were just reckless brutes; he played a crucial role.

[Kabuto Yakushi is overthinking it. For Orochimaru, nothing is indispensable on the path to immortality. Kabuto Yakushi is just a fleeting moment in his long life ahead.]

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, a hint of embarrassment on his face. However, Uchiha Sora knew he was faking it, because his emotions didn't fluctuate at all. It was a shame he wasn't an actor.

Behind them, Naruto, Gaara, and others appeared one after another beside Uchiha Sora, glaring at Sasuke and Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, you despicable bastard! You actually killed the Fourth Kazekage! Sunagakure will not let you get away with this!"

[The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable, but Kankuro knows he is no match for Orochimaru, so he can only vent his anger with a few curses.]

Temari's three-star fan instantly turned up to its maximum speed and suddenly blew, creating a whirlwind with countless wind blades that sliced ​​through like sharp knives.

One by one, the trees were snapped in half and shredded by the fierce wind.

Orochimaru moved with the ease of a stroll, his feet barely touching the ground, as countless wind blades brushed past him without causing him any harm.

[Korean felt that Kankuro hadn't improved at all; he was still so spineless, all he did was talk big. Temari was much more decisive, attacking right away.]

How can three siblings, all born to the same father, be so different in their character?

Chapter 125 Farewell

Kankuro secretly glared at Uchiha Sora, daring not to utter a word of anger. Truly, he was the notoriously cowardly kid from Sunagakure.

"What a bunch of spirited brats. I never thought that the declining Konoha would have any hope of revival. Hidden Shadow Snake Hands."

The tongue suddenly shot out like a dark shadow slicing through a forest and passing through a raging wind, instantly wrapping around Temari's neck.

The python coiled up, and Temari's eyes rolled back in her head. Then, the python quickly retracted, flying towards Orochimaru along with Temari.

"Peng."

A powerful kick landed squarely on Temari's chest, causing her to spurt blood and fly away like a rag doll.

"Temari!"

A wisp of sand flew up and caught Temari. Gaara quickly checked her over and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "She just held her breath for a bit; she'll be fine after a rest."

The sandstorm around Gaara moved without wind, and the calm ground gradually became turbulent. The sand gathered and swirled around Gaara, growing larger and larger until it formed a huge sand wave that instantly rushed towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru revealed a playful expression, showing no sign of fear, and said, "It's somewhat similar to the Fourth Kazekage's Gold Sand, but its power is far inferior."

Orochimaru's neck suddenly extended infinitely, his entire head floated into the sky, flashing with light, and the Kusanagi Sword was spat out from Orochimaru's mouth, instantly extending towards Gaara.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived before him, and it seemed that it was about to pierce Gaara.

Uchiha Sora kicked Gaara, sending him flying. The massive sword grazed Sora's body and plunged into the ground, slashing away into the distance.

Countless large trees were cut in half and scattered on the ground.

"Sasuke, Sakura is still waiting for you in the village. Wouldn't it be better to go back and reunite with us to form Team 7? Why do you want to stay with Orochimaru?"

Naruto couldn't understand Sasuke. They were doing so well before, going on missions together, sharing joy and sorrow. How could they suddenly become so estranged?

Sasuke scoffed, "Those kinds of ninja games in Konoha are no longer suitable for me. I don't have time to play with you kids."

Life in Konoha was too comfortable; he feared that one day he would even forget his hatred.

Naruto punched a big tree next to him: "You bastard, what am I then? What is Sakura? What is Team 7?"

"Can you bear to leave Kong all alone in the village, without even a companion?"

"Don't give me these high-sounding principles. Going back to Konoha would only waste my life. I'd be doing trivial tasks every day, no different from an ordinary person."

I'm afraid I'll never be able to avenge myself.

“Sasuke is right. Naruto, you should go back. Otherwise, if Lord Orochimaru gets angry, you will all die here,” Kabuto Yakushi said.

[Kabuto Yakushi habitually pretended to be a good person; this was a conditioned reflex from his role as a spy, and it also served to provoke Orochimaru into taking action.]

[Kabuto Yakushi has been talking a lot lately, and seems to have lost his bearings. Orochimaru feels it's necessary to give him a warning.]

Cold sweat broke out on Yakushi Kabuto's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "Your subordinate is loyal to Lord Orochimaru and has no other intentions."

"In that case, we have no choice but to fight."

Uchiha Sora leaped into the air, his hands forming hand seals:

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique".

Sparks instantly covered a large area of ​​the sky, engulfing Orochimaru and his companions.

"Shadow Imitation Technique".
