Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

"Originally, there was only Sasuke-kun, but I didn't expect this unexpected surprise. What's your name?"

Why should I tell you? Shouldn't you state your own name before asking someone else's?

The grass ninja opposite him chuckled, his gaze lingering on Naruto's blond hair, fox-like face, and massive chakra.

"I think I know who you are."

Naruto took a deep breath, as if facing a formidable enemy.

[Host has been replaced. According to the information, this person is highly likely to be Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, a Kage-level shinobi. It will require the power of the Nine-Tails to deal with him.]

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately switched to the managed mode, allowing the system to take over his body.

This change surprised Orochimaru.

The feeling he gives off has changed... Could it be that he can now use the Nine-Tails' power?

"Sasuke, you two go first," the system said coldly.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and yelled at Sakura Haruno, "Sakura, you go first, go find the examiner, Kakashi-sensei, and the Third Hokage!"

Sakura Haruno shuddered, her body finally able to move with difficulty, and she ran desperately outside.

They're still fighting, and all I can do is run... How useless I am... When will I ever catch up with them...?

Seeing that Sasuke chose to stay, the system stopped trying to persuade him.

Sasuke had already activated his Sharingan, his gaze fixed on the terrifying man before him.

Be sure to observe his movements carefully and react promptly...

However, the next moment, Orochimaru was already in front of Sasuke, opening his blood-red maw to swallow him whole.

Bang!

At the crucial moment, the system stepped forward and punched Orochimaru, sending him flying.

Orochimaru was knocked away, and the almost solidified killing intent around him lessened slightly. Sasuke then regained control of his body and gasped for breath.

How could the gap between me and them be so huge!

The system glanced at him and advised again, "Hide, Sasuke."

Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke felt an even greater pang of pain in his heart.

If I were to fall in a place like this, how could I possibly have the strength to take revenge on that man!

Under intense emotional stimulation, Sasuke's chakra surged in his eyes, resulting in his Sharingan transforming into a two-tomoe Sharingan!

The system noticed Sasuke's change, silently made a calculation, and spoke again: "Or stay by my side. I've said it before, I will protect you, don't worry."

This time, Sasuke neither refused nor felt resentful. He had come to terms with reality and realized that he was no match for Naruto or the man opposite him.

Therefore, he needs to observe their entire battle, learn from it, improve, and catch up with them!

Orochimaru stood up, straightened his head which had been bent at a ninety-degree angle, and looked with interest at Naruto, who was now wearing a tailed beast chakra cloak and had four scarlet tails growing from his back.

It really is the power of the Nine-Tails, and this brat doesn't seem to have lost his mind.

Orochimaru had seen Kushina use the Nine-Tails' power before, but Kushina could only use it after winning a chakra tug-of-war with the Nine-Tails. Naruto in front of him... could it be that he has reconciled with the Nine-Tails?

Orochimaru dared not be careless and immediately bit his finger to form a hand seal.

"Spirit Spell!"

A giant snake, at least three people tall, appeared out of nowhere in the forest and charged toward Naruto with unstoppable force.

Orochimaru hid to the side, waiting for his chance to strike.

He didn't think Orochimaru could do anything to Naruto in his Nine-Tails form; he just needed to stall for time, since his original target was Sasuke.

Just as Orochimaru burrowed underground, preparing to approach Sasuke, he witnessed a scene that shocked him.

"This chakra... is it a lie? How could he possibly know this technique!"

Naruto conjured a crimson chakra hand and slammed it down to pin the giant snake down. He then gathered chakra around his mouth, gradually creating a purple sphere containing a large amount of chakra.

That's... a Tailed Beast Ball!

Chapter 26 The Awkward Moment for Hiruzen Sarutobi

Sensing the terrifying chakra surrounding Naruto, Sasuke no longer hesitated and retreated to a safe place to watch the battle.

He subconsciously started thinking about how he could reach Naruto's current level, only to despairingly discover that he had no idea of ​​any feasible path.

This level of power... would probably be enough to kill that man.

Just as the system was about to complete the Tailed Beast Ball, the giant snake, which had been suppressed, felt a deep sense of crisis. It twisted its body frantically and finally broke free from the system's Tailed Beast Chakra grasp.

However, at the same time, the Tailed Beast Ball also finished charging up and crashed down.

In an instant, a corner of the Death Forest was covered by a towering explosion, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up.

Sasuke felt as if the entire world before him was covered in white, and even his newly awakened two-tomoe Sharingan couldn't make him see anything.

Even though he had already retreated hundreds of meters away, the strong wind blowing from the edge of the explosion still almost made him lose his footing.

After a long time, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a huge crater where the battle had taken place, containing the remains of Orochimaru, who was nowhere to be found.

Is that guy dead?

The moment the thought crossed Sasuke's mind, he suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand on end, warning him of the impending danger.

In the reflection of his two-tomoe Sharingan, Orochimaru's head was growing bigger and bigger, and it looked like it was about to bite him.

laugh!

The system had anticipated this, because Orochimaru's chakra had not disappeared, so it rushed to Sasuke's side immediately and slashed down with its claw, severing half of Orochimaru's head.

Sasuke, feeling temporarily safe, quickly retreated to create more distance.

Although Orochimaru looks like he's dead beyond any doubt, Sasuke doesn't dare to be careless since his opponent survived such a massive explosion.

Sure enough, the mutilated body on the ground soon began to throb again. A hand emerged from the corpse's mouth, widening its opening, and a person crawled out, covered in slime.

"Naruto-kun, you are becoming more and more fascinating to me."

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue, making no attempt to hide the greed in his eyes.

However, it was about time for him to retreat. Although he survived the Tailed Beast Ball, his current condition was not suitable for fighting the old man again.

"Sasuke-kun, I originally wanted to give you a parting gift, to make your strength a little closer to Itachi Uchiha, but Naruto-kun stopped me."

Uchiha Itachi?! He knows that man!

Sasuke's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Whether he believed it or not, Orochimaru's words had definitely had a huge impact on him.

Seeing that Sasuke's mind was being severely affected by a few words, the system decisively punched Orochimaru into a pulp.

Even at this point, Orochimaru was still alive, transforming into countless tiny snakes that burrowed into every corner.

But his voice came from somewhere unknown.

"Sasuke-kun, if you want to become stronger, come find me."

"Itachi Uchiha's eyes are even stronger than that tailed beast brat's."

"And you have the same potential."

The system sensed the surrounding chakra and was somewhat surprised to find that Orochimaru's chakra was everywhere and was fleeing at an extremely fast speed, making it impossible to track him.

Sasuke, who was standing to the side, was still immersed in Orochimaru's words and had not recovered for a long time. After all, he had already given up hope, but Orochimaru pointed out a new path for him. Even if this path might be fake, even if it might be very dangerous, he just couldn't help thinking about it.

Snapped!

So the system slapped him across the face.

"Wake up."

Sasuke calmed down a bit after that.

"Sasuke! Naruto!"

At this moment, Sakura Haruno, who had gone to call for reinforcements, returned, bringing with her Kakashi Hatake, Anko Mitarashi, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and a group of Anbu members.

To the unsuspecting crowd, what had just happened appeared to be a scarlet monster exuding an ominous aura attacking Sasuke.

"That's... Naruto?!"

Naruto, you still are...

Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth and created three shadow clones.

"The Three-Party Seal!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had his shadow clones use a sealing technique, leaving only himself and Naruto in his tailed beast form inside. Then, he decisively bit his finger to form hand seals and cast a summoning jutsu.

"Hiruzen, who is the enemy this time?" the summoned Enma asked in a deep voice.

"The Nine-Tails has broken free!"

The Monkey King noticed Naruto in his tailed beast form not far away and was startled. He immediately transformed into his Vajra Staff and joined forces with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi charged forward, wielding his Vajra Staff, and slammed it heavily into Naruto.

The system originally wanted to greet the arriving crowd, but somehow, Hiruzen Sarutobi locked the two of them together and launched an attack on it.

The Vajra Ruyi Cudgel was incredibly powerful and heavy. In order to protect itself, the system simply unleashed more of the Nine-Tailed Fox's power, dodging the attack and attempting to break the seal enveloping the two of them.

However, the Three-Party Seal is an S-rank sealing technique, and it is not so easy to break.

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to attack again, the system spent 0.1 seconds calculating the optimal solution under the circumstances, and then released more power, bringing the number of tails behind him to eight.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had not expected his opponent's power to increase so suddenly, and he was caught off guard and sent flying, and the three seals were broken.

When he stood up again, Hiruzen Sarutobi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with a death wish.

Minato, I should have been the one to perform this ninjutsu back then.

Si-hai-wei-mao-xu......

"Stop! Grandfather of the third generation!"

Faced with Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was filled with suicidal thoughts but whom he couldn't actually kill, the system was really not good at making him believe that he wasn't controlled by Kurama and awakening his trust in him.

Therefore, after the system recognized that Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to use the Reaper Death Seal, it chose to withdraw the Nine-Tails' chakra back into its body and let Naruto take over the body.
