Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Kurama cursed and said, "You were controlled by someone using the ninjutsu you developed yourself. How pathetic."

"What do you know!" Tobirama Senju was furious at being belittled in his area of ​​expertise, scientific research.

The battle was at a stalemate, and Kurama gradually became somewhat exhausted.

"System, I'm running out of chakra, give me some."

The system casually patted him, and Kurama's chakra instantly increased by half.

"Aren't we both able to hold about the same amount of chakra? Why do you still have so much left after defeating Hashirama Senju?" Kurama asked in surprise.

"Perhaps it's because I'm an energy-saving person that I use methods that don't consume as much chakra during combat."

Kurama, recalling the scene of his repeated bombardment of Tailed Beast Balls, suddenly felt that it was like the same amount of money: the system used it to buy weapons to kill enemies, while he used gold bricks to smash people...

"Data collection complete, that's about it for now," the system suddenly said.

Kurama didn't understand what the system meant, since Tobirama Senju couldn't die, but their chakra was constantly being depleted.

Tobirama Senju, who was also skilled in scientific research, understood.

"Hey you brat who calls it System, you haven't actually been using your full strength all along, have you? You've been collecting data about me all along, haven't you?"

The system remained silent, but clapped its hands, and dozens of golden chains flew out from behind it, attacking Senju Tobirama in unison.

Although no words were spoken, sometimes actions speak louder than words.

"However, you still underestimate me."

Just as the golden chains were about to reach Tobirama Senju, his figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared near a kunai that he had thrown earlier.

"Space-time ninjutsu?"

The system silently recorded the relevant data while directing more golden chains to seal Tobirama Senju.

Logically speaking, with such powerful space-time ninjutsu, Tobirama Senju should have had virtually no chance of being captured.

However, on the one hand, Orochimaru controlled him to buy himself time to escape, so he naturally couldn't let him leave.

on the other hand……

Looking at the overwhelming golden chains before him, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but swear again.

"This is the Vajra Lockdown?! Even my sister-in-law didn't use anything this outrageous!"

Ultimately, the mechanics-driven monster was defeated by the numerical monster.

After dealing with the Senju brothers, the system and Kurama came to Naruto's side.

"Hey Naruto, are you even capable? We've already taken care of the two strongest ones, and you're still not done." Despite the system being the main contributor, Kurama still looked smug.

Before Naruto could explain, the system analyzed: "After the host unlocks the new form, his combat power far surpasses Orochimaru's, but Orochimaru has many ways to save his life, so he is indeed not easy to kill."

Orochimaru had long since given up on fighting, but Naruto in Sage Mode had greatly enhanced both his speed and sensory abilities. Every time Orochimaru used a new escape technique, he would be discovered, leading to a stalemate between the two sides.

"Stop hitting Naruto-kun, we can't defeat each other, let's make a deal instead?" Seeing that the two previous Hokage had been sealed, Orochimaru knew that the situation was hopeless and quickly showed weakness.

The Nine Lamas doesn't understand these intricacies; he only comes out to fight, so he doesn't speak.

The system prioritizes profit, but above profit there is an absolute underlying logic—Naruto's choice has the highest priority.

And Naruto—

"Don't talk nonsense! In the justice I'm upholding, there is absolutely no room for darkness! Wrongs must be corrected, no matter what interests of yours are involved!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but curse upon hearing this: "Are you some little brat still in the ninja academy? You believe in such a ridiculous thing as justice!"

"Justice seems ridiculous because of people like you, and I'm here to correct all of that!"

"Then come on! The reanimated bodies have unlimited chakra. The First and Second Hokage will soon break free of the seal. I'll be waiting for you to run out of chakra!" Orochimaru threatened viciously.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived.

"Great, Naruto, you're still alive! I'm not late this time." Upon seeing Naruto, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even bother to check on the two strange shadow clones and new forms beside him; he was simply happy that Naruto was still alive.

"What are you saying, you old fool? We clearly have the upper hand now," Nine-Lama shouted.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "That's right, but the reanimated bodies cannot be destroyed. Even if you can seal them temporarily now, there will always be a day when your chakra runs out."

“Killing the caster won’t undo this ninjutsu, and Orochimaru isn’t someone you can kill easily.”

"Do you have any ideas, Third Hokage?" Naruto asked.

A proud expression immediately appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face: "Naruto, you must trust the wisdom of the old man."

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had a smile on his face, Naruto sensed something was wrong.

"Grandpa, what do you want to do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled mysteriously, did not answer Naruto, and instead instantly appeared in front of the sealed Hashirama Senju.

Si-Hai-Wei-Mao-Xu-Zi-You-Wu-Si-Hands clasped together.

"Corpse Demon Sealing!"

This was the first time Hiruzen Sarutobi had used a ninjutsu so fast since he felt old; even Naruto didn't have time to react.

Perhaps it's because after letting go of everything, my mindset has returned to how it was when I was young.

"I'm sorry... Sarutobi..." Before his soul was taken away, Hashirama Senju only had time to say sorry.

Then Hiruzen Sarutobi came to Tobirama Senju.

“Monkey…you’re not managing your village very well…fortunately, the young people are quite good…” Tobirama Senju smiled with satisfaction as his soul was taken away.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just been resurrected, saw that he was still the Hokage despite his advanced age, he assumed that his student had fallen into depravity and was unwilling to relinquish his power.

As for now, at least he has regained some of his former style.

I wonder how the remaining students are doing. Hiruzen Sarutobi has been fighting alone for so long, and only one child has come to help him.

However, even Hiruzen Sarutobi is so old, the others must be quite old too, and they must have sacrificed themselves to protect Konoha.

By this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely exhausted, and the Shinigami behind him looked ready to strike.

But he didn't stop.

"In the end... it was you... Orochimaru!"

Although Orochimaru couldn't see the Grim Reaper, he saw that the two Hokage had been released from the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and he deeply sensed the danger.

He tried everything he could to escape, but the system stopped him every time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly arrived in front of Orochimaru and extracted his entire soul from his body!

Chapter 44 A dying man's words are good.

Orochimaru still wanted to resist, but Naruto had already depleted a lot of his chakra, while Hiruzen Sarutobi had recovered most of his chakra during the time that had passed. With the balance of power shifting, Orochimaru was powerless to turn the tide and had his soul taken away by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After doing all this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was like a dried-up corpse, and the Grim Reaper began to prepare to take his soul.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Naruto approaching him, opened his mouth to speak, but found that he no longer had the strength to speak.

If only I could see Konoha one more time...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's consciousness slowly sank, and he gradually closed his eyes, awaiting death.

But after waiting for a long time, he found that his soul seemed to still be in the world, and he could even hear Naruto's voice.

"System, you should have used that technique on the third-generation grandfather, right? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"He didn't faint."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly opened his eyes; it seemed he was indeed still alive.

But when he turned around, Death was still behind him, coveting his soul.

"What am I doing..."

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi had woken up, Naruto quickly said, "This is a ninjutsu we developed that allows the soul of the dead to stay in the world for a short while longer... but that's all it can do."

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood.

"For a sinner like me, being able to see Konoha one more time is already a luxury."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Naruto and the system on the head: "You are both good kids."

Naruto didn't say anything, nor did he ask the system what was going on.

Then Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kurama, hesitated for a moment, and patted his head: "I believe you are a good boy too."

Nine-Lama slapped his hand away, his eyes widening: "Get lost! When I was your age, your grandfather wasn't even born yet!"

Having dealt with all the enemies, Kurama stretched.

"I've had enough fun, I'm going back to sleep."

Then, the shadow clone possessed by Kurama turned into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated, while his own consciousness returned to Naruto's body.

The same applies to the system.

Naruto hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Is it really necessary to go this far? Give me a little more time, and I'm sure I can kill Orochimaru."

Hiruzen Sarutobi simply shook his head: "Orochimaru is my student. I know him. Even if you watch yourself kill him, he might reappear in front of you tomorrow. The only safest option is to use the Reaper Death Seal."

"Moreover, in this way, the souls of the first and second generations should no longer be defiled by anyone."

"My sins have been somewhat atoned."

Naruto remained silent for a moment, not responding to the question, but simply said softly, "Let's go back to Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "It's time to go back. I still need to announce the next Hokage in front of everyone."

By the time Naruto and Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to Konoha, Orochimaru's summoned beasts and subordinates had been largely dealt with, and Orochimaru's plan had completely failed.

When everyone saw Naruto helping Hiruzen Sarutobi back, while Orochimaru was nowhere to be seen, they cheered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand and gestured downwards to signal everyone to be quiet. He then instructed the Anbu to summon the heads of the various Konoha ninja clans and the heads of the various departments to the Hokage's office.

Sensing that something was amiss, fear and unease were evident in everyone's eyes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't explain, he just sat down in his usual spot, his eyes filled with nostalgia but not reluctance.

After looking around and confirming that almost everyone except for people like Shimura Danzo had arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to Naruto on his right and slowly began to speak:

"After I die, Naruto Uzumaki will become the Fifth Hokage."
