On the day he followed Naruto, he witnessed Naruto mercilessly killing ninjas from his village.

No matter how low-ranking the ninja was, they couldn't stop Naruto's strike.

Every time, I get stabbed right in the heart.

After doing all this, Naruto would wipe the blood off the sword with a smile on his face.

That smile sent chills down one's spine and also drew Orochimaru's interest in Naruto to its extreme.

One afternoon, Orochimaru saw a masked monster with a hollow chest emerge from a corpse, and he could no longer contain his excitement.

.......

It was a sunny afternoon.

Midway through the Chunin Exams, most of the ninjas who entered the Forest of Death had already died or been injured.

Some quit, some advanced.

Sasuke and Sakura also began to receive more and more scrolls to pass the exams. Naruto already had a lot of scrolls to pass the exams, but he still strolled leisurely through the Forest of Death.

Sunlight streamed down, filtering through the dense foliage and falling on the ground, while the air reeked of blood.

The danger of the Death Forest Trial lies not only in the assassinations that other ninjas could carry out at any time, but also in the wild beasts within the forest.

The smell of blood easily attracts ninjas or large beasts, causing the ninjas to exhaust their strength or be killed.

Therefore, test takers will subconsciously stay away from places with a strong smell of blood.

Naruto strolled leisurely through the forest, humming a little tune, as if he were sightseeing, looking for interesting scenery.

Whenever an insensitive wild beast appeared, he would take care of it.

On a treetop nearly thirty meters away from Naruto, Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his long tongue and lick his lips, his eyes filled with curiosity and greed.

I learned this from Danzo.

Naruto possesses a very unique bloodline limit, with potential comparable to the Sharingan. Coupled with his status as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, Naruto is destined to become a Kage-level powerhouse in the future.

Given Naruto's keen perception, Orochimaru was eager to get close to Naruto and thoroughly study his young and tender body.

However, he had an agreement with Danzo that he could not touch Naruto.

Naruto is Danzo's target.

But that doesn't mean he can't approach Naruto, the genius that even Danzo was crazy about.

After understanding Naruto's potential, he then manipulated the Uchiha orphan, imprinting his own mark on Naruto's body, and then used words to arouse Naruto's desire for power.

Manipulate his heart, and ultimately make him a slave to power, obediently walking into your embrace and becoming your shape.

At that time, I will possess the powerful bloodline limit, the Sharingan!

Thinking of the bright future, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips in a perverse way, his body trembling slightly, as if he had reached a spiritual peak and release from the inside out.

Just then, he saw Naruto walk to the lakeside. As he bent down to wash his hands, two ninjas suddenly jumped out of the bushes and stabbed Naruto in the back with kunai.

"Swoosh." The kunai fell into a blur of afterimages. Before the two ninjas could react, they felt a sharp pain in their chests.

They looked down in astonishment, only to find that a long knife had pierced through their chests.

The long sword was drawn, taking away the last trace of warmth from their bodies.

Spots of blood seeped from the wound, quickly wetting the soil beneath him.

Naruto and his shadow clone each drew their swords, and the two corpses in front of them collapsed with a thud.

He stepped over the blood, elegantly wiping the blood off his longsword.

In my line of sight, two wisps of souls slowly rose from above the corpse.

Naruto glanced at Orochimaru's concealed location, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He infused spiritual pressure into the two souls.

Then, to Orochimaru's astonishment and even horror, their souls began to manifest, and strange energy surged within their bodies.

"Naruto Uzumaki is actually toying with the souls of the dead?!" Orochimaru's eyes widened, and for a moment he even forgot to hide his true feelings, his eyes burning with fervor.

Orochimaru was a scientist researching the possibility of becoming a transsexual.

In order to study immortality, he inevitably studied the human body and soul.

Of these, the soul, being such an elusive thing, is the most elusive.

It is said that after a person dies, their soul goes to the Pure Land.

From another perspective, if one controls a person's soul, is it possible to bring them back to life?

Orochimaru conducted countless studies with this idea in mind.

In the past, the Second Hokage also conducted similar research and even developed the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation, which manipulates the souls of the dead.

Because he is the Hokage, no one can criticize him.

But Orochimaru is different.

He was merely a disciple of the Hokage, and conducting such human research was naturally considered a violation of ethics and morality.

After defecting from Konoha, he continued to conduct human experiments in hopes of uncovering the truth about the soul, but his research progressed extremely slowly, or even nonexistently.

But now, he saw Naruto Uzumaki, who was regarded as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, using a special method to make people's souls visible.

Not only that, but it seems that the soul is undergoing some kind of... mutation?

Orochimaru swallowed hard, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

He sensed a kindred spirit in Naruto.

They can be crazy enough to disregard everything for the sake of research.

In his vision, his soul churned in agony, a mask of white bone gradually formed on his face, and a deep void appeared in his chest. His entire body radiated extreme madness.

Chapter 97 If you don't mind, we can exchange ideas.

The two phantoms exchanged a glance, then immediately locked in a fierce struggle, biting and devouring each other's flesh like hungry wolves eyeing their prey.

Naruto shook his head secretly to himself, muttering to himself:

"It still won't work. The conversion rate of genin is too poor. The amount of chakra in their bodies is too small to resist the invasion of spiritual pressure, and they will only turn into hollows."

"After being devoured, Hollows can become stronger and may even reach a new level, gaining the power of Shinigami from their Hollow form. However, such a process is too long, and I do not currently have the resources to provide such experiments."

Naruto's soliloquy was also a message to Orochimaru.

As expected, the mad scientist Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he heard unfamiliar words such as "hollow" and "spiritual pressure".

He could no longer contain his excitement and stepped out from the shadows.

"Crack." The sound of her legs stepping on the grass.

Naruto looked over and saw the strange woman he had previously found suspicious.

She wore a light purple kimono, had long, dark hair, an extremely pale face, and a strange, wicked smile on her lips, exuding an extremely cold and sinister aura.

"So Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, has a transsexual fetish?" This thought flashed through Naruto's mind, and then he revealed an extremely warm smile:

"Oh dear, we have a guest."

Orochimaru looked at the gentle Naruto, then glanced at the two Hollows still fighting, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

According to the information obtained from Danzo, Naruto has a gentle and refined personality, inherited the Will of Fire, and longs to protect Konoha and the people who are important to him.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Naruto is a very shrewd person.

Orochimaru revealed a sinister smile, his voice magnetic:

"Nice to meet you, Naruto-kun. I am Orochimaru, and I am very interested in your research."

Sensing Orochimaru's chilling aura and his obsessive research, Naruto's smile widened.

He gently inserted the illusory flowers and water into the two virtual heads and slowly pulled them out.

The wisps of smoke dissipated and the clouds dispersed.

Naruto said calmly:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Orochimaru."

"Hmm?" Orochimaru narrowed his snake-like eyes, a hint of confusion in them, and his previously unrestrained aura subsided.

He had imagined Naruto's reaction upon seeing him.

Shock, fear, astonishment.

After all, he was a renowned Kage-level shinobi who stood against Konoha.

It would only take a mere second to kill a rookie genin like Naruto.

But Naruto's reaction was too strange.

Calm? Confident?

It's as if, just as he said, he's been waiting for me for a long time?

Could it be that he had already noticed him?

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly.

I decided to test the waters.

He smiled and said, "I'm curious, did Naruto-kun notice me a long time ago?"

Faced with Orochimaru's question, Naruto put away his Kyoka Suigetsu and casually stepped over the blood pit: "Hmm, I guess so."

Orochimaru was quite surprised to receive an affirmative answer.

Aside from his status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki's talent is also extremely amazing, and may even have surpassed that of Sasuke Uchiha.

No wonder that Danzo guy kept emphasizing "Don't touch Naruto".

Such a young body, if it could be shaped into its own form, would be truly wonderful.

Unfortunately, he was a Jinchūriki.
