Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

"It seems that Orochimaru is not only talented in research, but also in management." Naruto nodded to himself.

"Is he the ninja who came to see Lord Orochimaru?" Not far away, a white-haired, emaciated ninja looked at Naruto coldly.

"Kimimaro, so you're here. Hmm? Do you have a guest?" A surprised voice sounded behind Kimimaro. Jirobo stopped and looked past Kimimaro's shoulder onto Naruto.

Noticing the strange gaze, Naruto looked over, met her gaze, and gave her a gentle and refined smile.

When he was in Konoha, he had to hide his strength at all times, but after leaving Konoha, he could show his aura and boiling spiritual pressure without any restraint.

Even in his normal state, he is not to be underestimated.

"This man... is so strong." Jirobo's eyes widened in shock, and he took a step back.

He could sense the terrifying spiritual pressure contained within Naruto, which was not concealed at all.

I've only ever experienced this feeling in the virtual body inside the laboratory.

"Could this person be... Naruto Uzumaki, whom Lord Orochimaru once spoke of?"

Kimimaro glanced at Jirobo indifferently, then turned and left.

"Hey, wait for me." Jirobo hurriedly followed behind.

"Those two are quite interesting." Naruto smiled inexplicably upon seeing this.

He could sense good chakra fluctuations from Kimimaro and Jirobo.

However, Kimimaro's power was even greater.

But for some reason, Kimimaro's body was in a state of extreme fatigue.

If I'm not mistaken, he may have been seriously injured or seriously ill.

Naruto looked away, not giving it much thought.

Soon, Orochimaru arrived and greeted Naruto with a smile.

Such etiquette shows how much they value Naruto.

The Fourth Hokage and Kimimaro followed closely behind Orochimaru.

"Naruto, I've missed Konoha terribly since we parted ways." Orochimaru smiled sinisterly, his gaze sweeping over Haku and the two children, a strange smile curving his lips.

"Who are these three...?"

"Formerly a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, Haku, these two children are his family."

"Hello, it's nice to meet you."

A Shinigami (death god) with spiritual pressure within him, and two children.

This is a combination that Orochimaru really likes.

Well known.

Orochimaru is a genius kidnapper.

Orochimaru had countless educational philosophies he could implement for these clueless children.

Despite his cold and sinister appearance in the eyes of others, Orochimaru is a charming and gentle uncle in the eyes of children.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Orochimaru led Naruto and the others toward the laboratory.

Before that, Naruto asked Haku to take the children and find an empty house in the village to stay in.

The experiments on the virtual are extremely cruel, so it's best to keep Bai away from them.

Haku guessed Naruto's thoughts, so he didn't refuse.

With Kimimaro's help, he settled in a more central area of ​​the village.

During this time, Haku's gentleness and kindness touched Kimimaro, a man who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Unconsciously, he also revealed some of his feelings about living in the village.

"To me, Lord Orochimaru is everything, and I am willing to give everything for him."

Bai Neng sensed the deep admiration and affection in Kimimaro's words. He smiled slightly and said:

"To me, Naruto-sama is the one who gave me a second life. I want to work hard for the peace he spoke of, and I hope that the kindness in this world will not be betrayed."

Under the rising sun, Bai smiled slightly, and the beautiful scenery made Kimimaro momentarily lose his composure.

He quickly turned his head, his expression showing a moment of panic.

"Peace?" He pondered this word, which countless people yearn for, over and over again, and a sense of anticipation rose within him.

Chapter 150 The Six-Staff Light Prison, Hollow and Death's Experiment, Akatsuki Organization

But Kimimaro knew that such a wish was almost impossible to fulfill.

Even a top-tier powerhouse like Orochimaru could only occupy one part of the Sound Village.

He looked at Bai, this kind boy who held onto a hope that was too difficult to realize, while the two children beside him opened their big, curious eyes and began to explore the house.

With the protection of the Sound Village, they should be able to live to their teens.

In this era, living is not easy.

"Next, I will explain the rules of our ninja village to you." Kimimaro's tone returned to calm.

"Within the Sound Village, you cannot do anything that would harm the village, nor can you leave the village without permission. All ninjas are required to accept missions regularly, and the village will allocate a portion of the rewards as funds for village construction."

"Yes, I'm fine." Bai nodded.

"Since you joined the Sound Village through Lord Orochimaru, you will have special privileges. As long as you complete more than a certain number of missions and pass the strength test, you can join the Sound Five," Kimimaro said.

Prior to this, Orochimaru had instructed that Haku be informed of various matters.

Naruto had no objection to this.

Joining the Sound Village was both a good protection for Haku and a place for him to hone his skills.

"The Sound Five?"

"Only the best of the younger generation have the opportunity to join the Sound Five and serve Lord Orochimaru." When talking about Orochimaru, Kimimaro's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.

It seems Orochimaru has a very high reputation.

Haku seemed to see himself in Kimimaro, just like when he followed Zabuza.

They were both willing to give their lives for each other.

It's a good thing to have someone you're willing to follow with everything.

Because it will make your heart more resolute.

At least.

I won't feel lost.

"Please give me your guidance." Bai extended his right hand, revealing a bright smile.

.......

"Naruto-kun, this way please." Led by Orochimaru, Naruto went deep into the experimental base.

"The experiment on the etherealization is progressing smoothly, but the etherealization is incredibly destructive, so I urgently need powerful helpers."

"I have made some initial progress in understanding the mysteries between the human soul and spiritual pressure, and I believe that I may achieve results soon."

"Bang." The layers of doors opened.

Each floor's entrance was guarded by ninjas, whose strength was roughly at the Chunin level.

Occasionally, there will be a few ninjas whose chakra is comparable to that of a Jonin.

Although their defensive capabilities are not particularly high, they are still quite formidable in the small ninja village.

As I passed several small laboratories along the way, my mind was filled with the materials on the stage.

Naruto also saw several Grim Reapers.

Noticing Naruto's gaze, Orochimaru explained, "These are materials for successfully becoming Shinigami, but they retain their memories from their previous lives and harbor great hatred towards us, so we can only control them for now."

Upon arriving at the last laboratory, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one can see two Hollows sitting on the ground, covered in wounds, with a Hollow in between that has only half a body remaining.

"Their spiritual pressure is quite good," Naruto said, his eyelids drooping slightly in surprise.

“They are survivors of the battle.” Orochimaru smiled. “I have a feeling they are not far from Adjuchas, so the second phase of the experiment will involve placing the Grim Reaper in the same room as them.”

Orochimaru pressed a button, and then the gate opened, pushing a huge cage inside.

Inside the cage, a Grim Reaper is trapped.

The two Hollows were instantly agitated the moment they saw the Grim Reaper.

Orochimaru!

"The Grim Reaper gripped the bars of the cage with both hands, glaring angrily at Naruto and Orochimaru, and roared furiously."

"This is a Shinigami who was transformed from a Sand Ninja Jonin." Orochimaru pressed another button, and the cage opened.

Two phantoms rushed forward.

"Earth Escape Technique: Earth Flow Wall Technique".

The two earthen walls rose rapidly, but were instantly shattered by the two phantoms.

The sharp claws swept across, shattering the wood into countless pieces.

"Earth Escape - Earth Stone Dragon".

After forming the hand seal, the earth dragon, composed of soil and stones, swept towards a void.

"Bang." Accompanied by Xu's scream, the powerful impact slammed him into the corner of the wall.

The other Hollow quietly circled around to the back while the Sand Ninja was attacking, and slashed out with its claw.

"Clang." A shallow sword suddenly appeared in the hand of a Sand Ninja, blocking the heavy blow. He then slashed back, leaving a wound on the Hollow's chest. White spiritual energy flowed out with the wound.

Naruto and Orochimaru watched the battle below with great interest and offered their comments.

"This Shinigami is quite strong. He has obviously been awakened for some time. He should be able to kill a Hollow with a combination of ninjutsu and slashing techniques, but his opponents are two Hollows."

"In comparison, the Hollow can only be considered a mindless beast, possessing great strength but unable to realize it."
