Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

Chapter 305 Shock: Naruto's Hollowfication. Orochimaru Joins the Fray.

"Orochimaru's target is actually Sasuke!" Itachi's eyes blazed with killing intent.

As a complete brother-obsessed individual, I've already listed Orochimaru as the number one on my kill list.

"Orochimaru, sigh." As Orochimaru's teacher, the Third Hokage undoubtedly had the most complex feelings.

As is widely known, the three famous Sannin were all his students.

As a result, Orochimaru defected, and the other two left Konoha.

The actions of the three Sannin all represented their dissatisfaction with the Third Hokage.

As a Hokage, failing to retain Kage-level officials is undoubtedly a failure.

But these are all secondary; what the Third Hokage is most concerned about right now is Naruto's situation.

Naruto in the scene is clearly quite skilled, as he can actually trade with Orochimaru on equal footing.

Everything proves that Naruto is far more terrifying than they thought.

This made the third generation's eyes even more sinister.

He thought of Naruto Uzumaki in his current world.

Although analysis confirmed that Naruto Uzumaki was not abnormal.

However, the Third Hokage was still not at ease and even planned to arrange a "soul-searching" package for him, having the Yamanaka clan investigate Naruto's memories.

To prove the Shinigami's potential and dissuade Orochimaru from coveting Sasuke, Naruto engaged in a friendly exchange with Orochimaru.

After a brief exchange of blows, using the "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" technique, Naruto found Orochimaru's momentary weakness and plunged his sword into Orochimaru's chest.

Orochimaru was shocked and incredulous. He hadn't even seen the Shikai, so why had he been affected? Had Danzo's information been wrong?

In response, Naruto calmly uttered a single sentence.

What kind of illusion would make you think that I haven't yet understood the illusion of a mirage?

"Holy crap? Kyoka Suigetsu is that powerful? Even the legendary Sannin, who were at the Kage level, were fooled?"

Upon seeing this, the ordinary ninjas were stunned, feeling as if they had been dealt a severe blow.

They practiced and studied diligently every day, all for the sake of learning a few new ninjutsu techniques.

If they could awaken some kind of bloodline limit, even if it was useless, they would be so happy they would die.

But now?

A 13-year-old boy is already fighting against a Kage-level powerhouse.

His bloodline limit is so strong that they might not be able to fight against him even if they spent their entire lives trying.

What kind of world is this?

Is this fair?

These ninjas had a deep understanding of the so-called theory of talent.

Admittedly, you might work yourself to the bone.

However, those talented ninjas also worked very hard.

Although it wasn't shown much on screen, Naruto's efforts were something even Guy had to praise.

The effort he put into developing his strength surpasses that of most ninjas.

A hardworking and talented genius is the most despair-inducing.

After piercing the skin, Orochimaru revealed a sinister smile. He spat out a white snake from his mouth, which then wriggled on the ground and reformed into Orochimaru's shape.

[Snake Substitution Technique is another ninjutsu that maximizes Orochimaru's survivability. In the entire ninja world, Orochimaru is undoubtedly one of the most difficult to kill.]

Naruto greatly admired Orochimaru's ninjutsu. In his opinion, someone like the Third Hokage, obsessed with power, couldn't have developed such interesting ninjutsu. Throughout Konoha's history, only the Second Hokage had truly developed ninjutsu that could intimidate other villages.

Compared to him, the Third Hokage was truly rather useless.

Naruto held the Third Hokage in very low regard, viewing him as an indecisive Hokage with limited talent.

The expressions of the Konoha ninjas upon seeing this were quite interesting.

Some of the younger ninjas and villagers could hardly believe what they were seeing.

Over the years, in order to promote his great achievements, the Third Hokage started teaching from a young age, changed the textbooks, and transformed himself into the most powerful Hokage.

He gives a speech every year, the general content of which is to promote his achievements and the Will of Fire.

For an ambitious old man, nothing is more desirable than surpassing the achievements of all previous Hokage and becoming the greatest Hokage.

These are all empty titles, but they are undoubtedly very important to the three generations.

But Naruto in the video was utterly merciless, giving the Third Hokage an extremely low evaluation.

"So this is Naruto's true thought." Many people sighed and were even more eager to see what Naruto's final attitude towards Konoha would be in the video.

"So this is what I was like back then." Even Naruto Uzumaki, who is usually very easygoing, was starting to break down at this moment.

The gap between the two sides is too big.

On one side is calmness and wisdom, on the other is foolishness.

"Is the source of everything... that thing that affects judgment?" Many Naruto Uzumaki began to feel disgusted with the Ashura chakra within him.

When the aversion reaches a critical point, Naruto will detect it and appear in this world to demand Ashura's chakra.

Naruto will give one-fifth of Ashura's chakra directly, while he will refuse the other one-fifth temporarily, but after thinking about it for a few days, he will give Ashura's chakra to Naruto.

Only Naruto Uzumaki, who was the last one remaining, was afraid of becoming someone who hated Konoha like Naruto, so he refused to return it.

Their idea is both pathetic and ridiculous.

After seeing Naruto's transformation in the footage, they feared that after losing Ashura's chakra, they too would develop hatred for Konoha.

Although their past memories are painful, they have been brainwashed by the Third Hokage and want to become Hokage to fight for Konoha.

Out of fear of the unknown changes, they chose to refuse.

Ultimately, it was because they believed everything in the images and understood that if they lost Ashura's chakra, they would definitely develop hatred for Konoha.

Naruto didn't care about these rejections from Naruto.

In his view, they would change their minds sooner or later.

In the footage, the battle is nearing its climax.

Under the guidance of Orochimaru, Naruto displayed many moves, but none of them were enough to demonstrate the potential of the Grim Reaper that would impress Orochimaru.

Compared to that, he longed for the body with Sharingan eyes.

"Grim Reaper?" This was the first time viewers in the ninja world had heard of this term.

I also understand that Naruto's spiritual pressure is not just a simple bloodline limit.

"This could be a new system, different from the ninja system," said the leaders of the various ninja villages, their faces filled with apprehension.

An ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

If this system were to become widespread, it would be a significant blow to ninjas.

But none of them could have imagined that in the future, the Grim Reaper would replace the ninja as the darling of the new era.

They will bring a tragic end to the old era.

In the video, Naruto is finally about to demonstrate his blurring ability.

This is the direction the research aims to break through: the Hollowfication of Shinigami, or the Shinigami-ification of Hollows.

The biggest difference between Shinigami, Hollows, and humans is that Shinigami and Hollows are in a state of spirit, and they are not affected by the lifespan of their physical bodies. This is the biggest source of Naruto's confidence in persuading Orochimaru.

Naruto, on the other hand, possesses spiritual pressure; he is both human and a Shinigami (death god).

Blur effect – everyone is filled with anticipation for this new term.

In their view, the Grim Reaper is already enough to contend with the Sharingan. If Hollowfication is added to the mix, the Sharingan might really be dethroned.

In the scene, milky white spiritual pressure began to overflow, constantly swirling around Naruto's body.

It was eerie and terrifying.

As the spiritual pressure increased, air currents appeared around Naruto's body, and the ground beneath his feet began to crack.

Hollowfication is more like a state where a soul fails to transform into a Shinigami. Compared to Shinigami, the power gained from Hollowfication is more intense and violent.

Soon, white spiritual pressure condensed into a white mask made of bone on half of Naruto's face.

The eyes beneath the mask were no longer as calm as before, but instead held a hint of bloodlust.

Naruto approached Orochimaru at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow and punched Orochimaru in the face.

In the scene, Orochimaru's face was dented from the blow, and he flew backward like a cannonball.

Such speed, such power?!

"That's a huge improvement." Might Guy, who was skilled in physical combat, swallowed hard.

"Even if I open all five gates, I still can't catch up. Naruto has become so strong!"

Versailles' words left Kakashi speechless.

"Five gates, huh? Looks like Kai, you've made great progress too," he murmured.

Actually, I don't know when it started, but Guy has already surpassed Kakashi.

In the scene, Orochimaru is being bounced around in the air like a ball. Although he is a Kage-level ninja, his physical skills are not outstanding.

Orochimaru recognized both the potential and side effects of Hollowfication. After using Hollowfication, rationality is overwhelmed. Ordinary people simply cannot control Hollowfication.

Orochimaru, however, didn't care; the side effects could be overcome through later research. What he cared about was the potential of Shinigami and Hollowfication, and the essence of their souls—which were indeed more reliable than his own immortality technique.

Orochimaru was smitten.

[After becoming intangible, Naruto's physical abilities were multiplied, and he became extremely resilient. No matter what ninjutsu Orochimaru used, it was difficult to inflict a fatal blow on him.]

After a fierce battle, Orochimaru abandoned his plan to use Uchiha Sasuke as a vessel and reached an agreement with Naruto.

At this point, Orochimaru joined Naruto's side.
