Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

boom!

Tsunade raised her leg and kicked Orochimaru in the stomach. The heavy blow sent Orochimaru flying backward, smashing through rocks.

call out!

Tsunade arrived shortly after, her eyes filled with even greater killing intent. She grabbed Orochimaru's long tongue again and slammed it into his face once more.

"We can't stop, we can't give him a chance to catch his breath."

bang bang bang...

Tsunade used both her hands and feet to relentlessly strike Orochimaru, leaving him no chance to retaliate.

"Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto exclaimed anxiously, "Oh no! He's been hit squarely by that monstrous strength!"

At that moment, Orochimaru was blasted away by Tsunade's punch, but Orochimaru had extremely strong perception. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he suddenly flipped over and sped away into the distance.

"Don't even think about leaving!" Tsunade's eyes sharpened, and she chased after Orochimaru.

At the same time, Manda was also beaten to the ground by Neji.

"Huff, huff." Wanshe raised his head from the ground, panting heavily. After so many attacks, he also felt extremely tired.

Seeing Manda panting heavily, Neji said sarcastically, "Is that all? I thought you could give me some fun! You're really too weak."

"I am the leader of the Ryuchi Cave Summoning Snake Clan, how could I possibly be defeated by your low-level transformation technique?! Damn human, die!" Manda roared as he looked down at Neji and charged forward again.

Chapter 64 I Want to Succeed as Hokage

"A mediocre transformation technique?" Orochimaru, who was fleeing, raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Heh, Manda, you'll die here."

Manda actually thought his Orochi technique was just a low-level transformation technique, which was undoubtedly an insult to him. Anyway, Neji would be the one to kill Manda in the end, so what did it have to do with him? Even the White Snake Sage couldn't say anything.

Orochimaru has a very deep gaze. The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique is his most outstanding ninjutsu, which he created by drawing inspiration from forbidden techniques of Konoha.

Using the power of the White Snake, he transformed into the Yamata no Orochi, with eight heads and eight tails. He had almost no weaknesses; not to mention his attack power, his recovery ability and vitality were extremely tenacious.

If all eight heads cannot be severed at the same time, the Yamata no Orochi will not die. Even Orochimaru would find it difficult to imagine the weakness of this technique. If anything, it would consume too much chakra.

And that was indeed the case. The ten thousand snakes pounced on the Yamata no Orochi, tearing and biting relentlessly, but these wounds were like mud sinking into the sea to the Yamata no Orochi, causing no real disturbance.

puff!

Manda struggled to tear off one of Yamata no Orochi's heads, but soon, accompanied by some sticky liquid, a new head grew back.

"Damn it, damn it!" Manda roared, his eyes filled with rage.

Neji ignored him and turned to leave. Manda's attacks seemed like mere tickles to him. However, based on everything that had happened before, Orochimaru didn't really care about Manda, and he wasn't going to do what Orochimaru wanted out of kindness.

Wouldn't it be better to let Manda and Orochimaru fight amongst themselves?

Moreover, his chakra was being consumed far too quickly. A ninja, no matter when or where, needs to keep his chakra within a safe range.

Seeing Neji about to leave, Manda surprisingly didn't yell or curse. Although he was furious, he wasn't stupid. Neji was not someone he could handle, especially with a slug watching him from the side. Orochimaru's death was no big deal, but he only had one life.

Between dignity and life, the latter is of course more important.

But at that moment, Neji suddenly noticed that Orochimaru was being chased by Tsunade, while Kabuto was being watched by a slug and dared not make any rash moves.

Neji inwardly cried out, "Holy crap! This is outrageous! Orochimaru is still useful, how can he kneel here?"

Orochimaru is an expert at escaping, but Neji doesn't want to gamble. So, Neji moves, and his eight tails suddenly burst through the air with immense power and incredible speed, causing the air to vibrate and hum softly.

Manda was secretly pleased when Neji turned and left, when suddenly several white tails lashed out. Before he could even react, his body was cleaved in two, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The ten thousand snakes let out a mournful roar, cursing inwardly, "Humans are so cunning! They said they wouldn't fight anymore, but they still had to launch a sneak attack at the last minute. They're so despicable!"

At that moment, his upper body fell to the ground, but his lower body was sent flying, landing squarely between Orochi and Tsunade.

"what?"

"Manda's tail!" Orochimaru gave Neji a deep look, then immediately burrowed underground and fled.

"Neji, I hope we don't end up as enemies."

"Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto exclaimed, but when he saw Orochimaru leave, he immediately ran away as well. Tsunade and Slug remained where they were, watching the scene quietly, their eyes fixed on Neji.

Neji felt a little guilty under the gaze of the two pairs of eyes, and said with a laugh, "Let's take down this giant snake first."

"Manda, you have no choice but to die. There has to be an explanation," Neji said silently.

As the Yamata no Orochi drew ever closer, Manda struggled to coil his body, his expression one of panic, his eyes darting around. Finally, he screamed at the top of his lungs, "You wretched brat! I will never let you go! I will kill you!"

Then, in front of everyone, the ten thousand snakes suddenly... turned into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated.

Neji stared blankly at everything, looking incredulously at Manda's unexpected actions.

"Using the toughest tone but doing the most cowardly work, Manda is such a coward after all," Neji said disdainfully. He thought Manda was going to retaliate, but instead... he ran away.

Neji was helpless. What could he do? Manda used a reverse summoning technique and went straight back to Ryuchi Cave, but he couldn't go there. He didn't even know where Ryuchi Cave was.

It is precisely because of this technique that summoned beasts rarely die. However, Manda was rather unlucky, as he was controlled by his own contractor using illusion magic, which is why he could not escape the fate of being blown up.

"Neji, I have something to ask you," Tsunade said.

"Ah." Neji knew he had been too obvious and aroused Tsunade's suspicion, so he nodded in agreement.

After dispelling the Orochi technique, Neji came to Tsunade's side, but he consciously kept a distance from her, a distance that made both of them feel safe.

"Lady Tsunade..."

"Jingyin, don't come any closer!"

Just as Shizune arrived at Tsunade's side, Shizune also rushed over, but was reprimanded by Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade, Neji, what's going on?" Shizune asked in confusion. Wasn't Neji someone sent by Konoha to help? Why was Lady Tsunade so wary of Neji?

"Neji, why?" Tsunade looked at Neji in confusion. He couldn't possibly be unaware of the danger Orochimaru posed to Konoha. Why would he let Orochimaru go?

“I have my own plans,” Neji said.

"Plan? What kind of plan would require you to let Orochimaru go? Don't you know how much of a threat Orochimaru poses to Konoha?!" Tsunade was stunned at first, then roared angrily.

She simply couldn't understand any of this. If she hadn't been certain that Neji meant no harm to Konoha, she might have attacked him.

Neji didn't know what to say. To be honest, he would also be very angry if someone let go of the person who destroyed his hometown.

However, he absolutely cannot tell anyone about the system, not even his closest friends, because it is his capital for establishing himself in this world.

Tsunade has a fiery temper, but after yelling, she calmed down. The Konoha elders chose her as Hokage not simply because of her good family background, but also because her judgment and analytical skills were indispensable.

"I don't care what your plans are, but if you want to harm Konoha, I won't stand idly by," Tsunade said calmly. "That's my home."

"Ah," Neji nodded, "I know."

"No, you know nothing." Tsunade turned and left. "Shizune, let's go to Konoha. I'm going to become the Fifth Hokage."

Chapter 65 Become a Part of Me

In the dense forest south of Konoha in the Land of Fire, beasts roam freely, but there is one place that is unusually quiet. If you look closely, you will find a staircase leading underground.

This passage is very well hidden and is difficult to see with the naked eye. The entrance is sealed with chakra, so it is very conspicuous to the sensory abilities of a ninja. But who would come to a place like this?

As you descend the stairs, at the end is a large door carved with a ferocious serpent, flanked by two serpent-shaped stone pillars. Looking inside, it is pitch black, bottomless, and filled with gloom, eeriness, and... ominousness.

In this eerie place, a series of heart-wrenching roars echoed. Anyone who heard such cries would surely feel their scalp tingle.

"Kabuto, the First Hokage's cells are not compatible with yours. If you force a fusion, you will probably die," Orochimaru said calmly, then placed the arm made from the First Hokage's cells aside.

Kabuto was one of his capable subordinates, and it was a real pity that he died like this. He wasn't afraid of his body being cut off, as his Reanimation Jutsu allowed him to instantly recover from any attack, but Kabuto couldn't.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto stood up and said calmly, but if you looked closely, he wasn't so indifferent. At this moment, he was still a young man, and the fact that his arm was broken was not something that could be easily smoothed over.

"This is a bit troublesome." Orochimaru frowned. Kabuto, in his current state, seemed pretty useless.

This is no longer the era of god-like battles in the later stages, where all kinds of ninjutsu are used with ease, and even slightly powerful ones don't need to form hand seals. In this era, if you lose an arm, you're basically useless.

"Kabuto, come with me." Orochimaru thought for a moment, then led Kabuto to a secluded door, opened it, and went inside.

The room was filled with countless scrolls, almost like a library.

"Lord Orochimaru, what is this?" Kabuto was extremely shocked. Lord Orochimaru had actually collected so many scrolls. What could they be?

"Heh." Orochimaru gave a sinister laugh and said, "Go and see for yourself."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." After receiving Orochimaru's permission, Kabuto walked to a scroll and opened it with his remaining arm.

"This is... the Earth Rising Spear!" The inscription on it clearly contained the hand seals, cultivation methods, and experience of the Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear technique, and the inscription was very comprehensive.

He opened another scroll, which contained another ninjutsu—Wind Release: Gale Palm—and the notes were very detailed.

Kabuto opened several more scrolls, and as expected, they contained all sorts of ninjutsu. Looking at the house full of ninjutsu, Kabuto's surprise was palpable.

Generally speaking, the more ninjutsu one learns, the greater one's combat power. Kakashi, for example, used the power of the Sharingan to copy thousands of ninjutsu, making him extremely powerful even among elite Jonin.

Tsunade once commented that he was "no weaker than Kakashi," but he knew clearly that if the two were to have a life-or-death battle, Kakashi would definitely win.

"Lord Orochimaru, what are you doing? Why are you collecting so many ninjutsu?" Kabuto asked, puzzled.

Orochimaru squinted and smiled, "Kabuto, you still don't understand me very well."

Kabuto always thought that he only wanted to obtain eternal life, but he didn't know the reason why he wanted to pursue eternal life. The fragility of life was only part of the reason. The bigger reason was that he wanted to learn all the ninjutsu in the world.

However, this is impossible with the limited lifespan of humans, which is why he wanted to pursue immortality and gain greater power.

Orochimaru walked to a stone wall, and suddenly a green snake emerged from his sleeve, rolled up a rather tattered scroll, and threw it into Kabuto's hand.

"This is the Reanimation Jutsu," Orochimaru said calmly, but it greatly surprised Kabuto.

He knew exactly what this meant. This was Lord Orochimaru's life-saving technique, which he had spent over a decade creating. After learning this technique, he could seize another person's body and change his current disabled state.

"Lord Orochimaru..." Kabuto was truly moved at this moment. Lord Orochimaru was actually willing to teach him this forbidden technique.

A scholar will die for one who understands him; Kabuto's admiration for Orochimaru had reached an extreme, and thus Orochimaru gained a little fanboy.

However, he did not know that the Reanimation Jutsu Orochimaru gave him was a half-finished product with great flaws. Although it could guarantee that there would never be any rejection behavior after reincarnation, he could only reincarnate once in his life.

Moreover, he must choose his reincarnation carefully. If the reincarnation is too powerful, Kabuto will suffer a great backlash and may even die when he is reincarnated.

After all, Kabuto was just a useful tool to Orochimaru, so giving him this kind of technique was already quite generous.

"Lord Orochimaru, I have something to report to you." Kabuto suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with determination.

"I am the undercover agent that Sasori placed by your side..." Kabuto felt that he could no longer deceive Lord Orochimaru. Only he could truly recognize his value and help him understand who he was.
