Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

"I know Danzo and the Third Hokage, right?"

“Not bad.” Orochimaru nodded, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Naruto: “I have reached an agreement with Danzo to kill the Third Hokage through the organization’s Konoha Crush plan, so that Danzo will have a chance to take over.”

"And I can also obtain a large number of ninja corpses, or even bloodline ninjas, for research. Without the Third Hokage's restraint, Danzo's actions will be even more unscrupulous, and I think that might also have an impact on you." Orochimaru revealed a meaningful smile.

"You can't kill the Third Hokage." But Naruto shook his head.

"Why?" Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"Because he will be one of the main figures who witness the gift I give to Konoha." Naruto turned around, his eyes extremely calm, so calm that it was chilling.

In Naruto's eyes, Orochimaru seemed to see that dark childhood, and the rationality and calmness that arose from endless malice.

Although he appears refined and easygoing, he is actually cold-hearted and will only move towards his own goals.

For this type of person, there is no way to be bound by any constraints.

Just like myself.

Even though he was very close to Jiraiya and Tsunade, he would leave when it was time to leave and never look back.

Orochimaru also believed it.

The "gift" that Naruto mentioned is definitely the most spectacular sight in the ninja world.

His heart was filled with anticipation, and a perverted wicked smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. His long tongue, like a venomous snake, flicked out and licked around his lips.

"Since Naruto-kun is so interested, I'll do my best. The Third Hokage is a Kage-level shinobi after all. If I go too far, I might die. So... I'll try my best to cripple him, which will also achieve my goal."

"it is good."

Both sides reached a consensus, and the process went surprisingly smoothly.

For some reason, Naruto found Orochimaru more and more pleasing to the eye; Orochimaru looked exactly like a mad scientist.

For the sake of research, gender can be disregarded.

Orochimaru also greatly admired Naruto.

If it weren't for Naruto's sensitive status as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, he would have directly invited Naruto to join Otogakure.

Minato had already returned to the sealed space, and he watched this scene with a hint of worry.

Past events show that Orochimaru is undoubtedly a cold and venomous snake.

No one could predict when he would be bitten.

Minato naturally didn't want Naruto to cooperate with dangerous figures like Orochimaru.

......

The two parties reached a cooperation agreement and were very friendly as they prepared to say goodbye.

Before parting, Orochimaru seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, I'll gladly accept that Uchiha kid. He's a very important experimental subject for me, and also a key piece in my original plan for immortality."

“That won’t do. Sasuke is someone I’ve set my sights on.” Naruto said calmly, his expression gentle, as if stating a fact.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura emanating from them.

Rather than saying he infiltrated Konoha for the sake of the Collapse Plan, it would be more accurate to say that he wanted to obtain the Uchiha's bloodline limit.

Previously, he had been knocked out by Itachi's Tsukuyomi, which sparked his desire for the Sharingan.

Itachi was someone he couldn't defeat, so the only one left was Sasuke.

Orochimaru had already planned it all out: to lure Sasuke into joining Otogakure and then take over his body.

Everything was planned so perfectly.

But unexpectedly, Naruto appeared out of nowhere.

Orochimaru's tone suddenly turned hostile: "Naruto-kun, I've already promised you I wouldn't kill the Third Hokage. Sasuke should be left to me, right? One shouldn't be too greedy."

A cold and intense aura emanated from Orochimaru's body, constantly pressing down on Naruto.

Naruto remained calm, as if he felt no pressure at all, and said indifferently, "The Bleach research is enough to achieve your goal. You don't need to harm Sasuke at all."

"No, no, no, the research on the Shinigami is too unpredictable. Of course, I need to prepare a backup plan," Orochimaru said coldly.

"It seems the talks have broken down?"

"Don't worry, Naruto-kun, I'll only give Sasuke a small gift. It will enhance his strength and won't hurt him." Seeing Naruto's displeased expression, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little flustered, fearing that Naruto would cancel their cooperation.

It's hard to imagine that Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, would back down, but Naruto isn't the type to give up easily.

He is very principled and also has a psychological fastidiousness.

The goals you set for yourself should be developed according to your own plans. If Orochimaru taints them, many variables will inevitably arise, which will certainly affect your plans.

At that time, I might have one less opponent worth taking action against.

Therefore, Naruto did not back down and was not afraid at all.

"No, you can't touch Sasuke."

Rejected again, Orochimaru's expression turned cold.

"Naruto-kun, you're too greedy."

"No, you underestimated the potential of Shinigami and Hollows." Naruto's tone was full of disappointment.

After discussing with Orochimaru, he also included Orochimaru in his future plans.

But now it seems that Orochimaru's fixation on the Sharingan was too short-sighted.

"Talk is cheap. Since Naruto thinks that the potential of Shinigami and Hollows is so great that I can ignore the Sharingan, then prove it to me."

Chapter 100 vs. Orochimaru

The two looked at each other, realizing that a battle was inevitable.

"Since that's the case, then let me show you." As he spoke, Naruto stretched out his right hand and instantly unleashed the Kido.

"Hado No. 31: Red Fire Cannon".

Endless flames erupted from Naruto's palm, completely engulfing Orochimaru in front of him.

In an instant, a violent explosion occurred in the area where Orochimaru was located, with flames raging and a sea of ​​fire spreading, causing the surrounding animals to flee in panic.

The air was distorted by the high temperature, and there were charred marks all around.

"It's empty? As expected of the Sannin, your reaction is really fast." Naruto praised as he pointed to an empty area and continued to cast Kido instantly.

"Hado No. 54: Destroyed Flame".

The disc-shaped flames engulfed the area, finally revealing Orochimaru's figure and his slightly surprised voice:

"As expected of Naruto-kun, it seems I underestimated your potential. You were able to discover my true form so quickly, and the power of this Kido has surpassed that of ordinary ninjutsu. That's impressive, but it's not enough to convince me."

Flames ignited Orochimaru's body, burning continuously, but Orochimaru's expression remained playful. Soon, the original Orochimaru gradually melted in the flames, while his true form used a snake substitute to easily escape the sea of ​​fire.

When it reappeared, it was completely unharmed.

"Even the Kido technique of number 54 is ineffective?" Naruto chuckled.

After training at Mount Myōboku, his spiritual pressure increased slightly, and he was able to instantly unleash up to sixty levels of demonic energy.

However, Kido is indeed insufficient against Kage-level powerhouses.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough".

"Hado No. 33: Blue Fire Fall".

The combination of ninjutsu and demonic arts caused the explosive flames that were originally falling from the sky to surge several times over with the amplification of the Great Breakthrough, crashing down like a meteorite towards the area where Orochimaru was located.

Seeing the overwhelming power of the attack, Orochimaru's brows twitched violently, but he continued to undermine Naruto's confidence:

"With the Nine-Tails' chakra, you can indeed use powerful ninjutsu, and even enhance its power to another level when combined with Kido. But if this is the potential of a Shinigami, then I am very disappointed."

Orochimaru paid no heed to the steam rising from the flames around him. In the next moment, he passed through the sea of ​​fire and appeared in front of Naruto, extending his right hand, which transformed into endless snake shadows.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand"

"A wildly imaginative ninjutsu, interesting." Faced with a self-created ninjutsu he had never seen before, Naruto suddenly thought of Jiraiya.

A toad and a snake—aren't they natural enemies?

Naruto smiled faintly and drew his Mirror Flower Water Moon sword. The blade flashed and instantly blocked the swarm of snakes that were rushing towards him.

Almost instantly, the snakes' heads were severed.

"If Kido doesn't work, then you'll have to use swordsmanship?" Orochimaru opened his mouth wide and, under Naruto's somewhat uncomfortable gaze, spat out the Kusanagi Sword to meet Naruto's Kyoka Suigetsu.

"Your method of storing swords is truly astonishing, but if all you're capable of is playing tricks, then I'm quite disappointed." Naruto sneered, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon in his hand rippled with spiritual pressure.

Although Orochimaru was obsessed with research for many years, his own strength did not decline. His taijutsu experience was not much worse than Jiraiya's, and he had experienced hundreds or thousands of times more battles than Naruto.

So after a few tests, Orochimaru roughly figured out Naruto's swordsmanship level.

He was quite surprised by Naruto's talent.

At only twelve years old, he already possesses impressive swordsmanship and ninjutsu skills, along with a highly promising bloodline limit. This is probably what it means to be a genius.

Unfortunately, such genius is currently unable to take on its own form.

Orochimaru's mind stirred slightly, and he drew his Kusanagi sword with incredible speed.

"Clang, clang, clang." The sound of swords clashing echoed continuously in the dense forest, and the surrounding trees were constantly marked with knife and sword marks. After each flash of sword light, a large tree would crash down.

This is arguably the best logging team in the forest.

Orochimaru's Body Flicker Technique is extremely sophisticated, and when combined with his excellent swordsmanship, every strike is aimed at vital points.

Naruto underwent grueling taijutsu and tactical training, and with his mastery of the Shunpo technique, he could keep up with Orochimaru's speed.

However, in the constant battles, he inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.

Orochimaru naturally played a part in this.

During the battle, he didn't forget to provoke Naruto with words: "Hey, Naruto-kun, if this is all you have, then the potential of the Shinigami and Hollows doesn't seem to impress me."

As a cold-blooded viper, he is adept at manipulating his opponents both physically and psychologically, inflicting a double blow.

To his surprise, Naruto remained calm and showed no displeasure in the face of his sarcasm.

Orochimaru greatly admired this kind of shrewdness.
