The reason for making this request is that Orochimaru just discovered that the brief moment his physical body disappeared was not so painful.

The calamity affects both the body and the soul. Although the pain in the soul cannot be relieved, the pain in the body stops for a moment each time it is annihilated. What a surprising discovery!

However, his own ninjutsu power was not enough to cause his physical body to be destroyed even for a moment, which is why he pleaded with Naruto.

Naruto fell silent upon hearing this.

Why does he feel like Orochimaru is acting strangely?

But Naruto certainly wouldn't agree to Orochimaru's request; he wanted to teach Orochimaru a lesson, especially since Orochimaru had brought it up himself.

"Just continue to feel this pain. If one day in the future you really manage to overcome the pain through willpower and be able to talk to me normally and conduct experiments."

"I'll reluctantly let you join my research."

Orochimaru, who had longed for this moment, was no longer happy as the promise had finally been made. His mind was filled with nothing but—

It hurts so much...

Looking at Orochimaru, who was screaming and rolling around on the ground, Sasuke suddenly revealed a cruel smile: "I've decided. I'll use this trick on Itachi from now on, and then I'll consider whether to forgive him or not."

"As for how to find the people he killed to atone for his sins, that's his business."

Naruto couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "That's ruthless."

"The flames of the Calamity Day shouldn't affect anyone else, right?" Naruto asked cautiously.

"Of course not, it only affects the person himself, and won't even burn the surrounding wood."

With Sasuke's guarantee, Naruto felt relieved and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send Orochimaru to a solitary cell in Konoha Prison.

Naruto then used the Four Symbols Seal on Orochimaru, rendering him immobile to prevent him from causing trouble for others in his quest for death.

Even with the healing power of the Calamity Sun, Naruto couldn't guarantee he could kill it.

"We'll come to visit him again in a few weeks."

After briefly explaining the situation to the guards, Naruto and Sasuke left Konoha Prison.

After Naruto and Sasuke left, Orochimaru continued to scream in agony, attracting the attention of the other prisoners.

"Can the new guy please stop howling? Can't a person get some sleep?!"

"If you keep making noise, I'll bring some men over tomorrow and beat you up!"

"Noisy!"

The prisoners spent a sleepless night amidst screams and curses.

On the second day, when it was time for roll call, some prisoners sneaked over with a group of men, intending to beat up this clueless guy.

When they arrived, they were stunned.

"Isn't that Orochimaru? What crime did he commit? He looks terrible."

"Is this fire going to keep burning forever? I think he's been yelling all night."

When it was time for breakfast, someone noticed that Orochimaru hadn't arrived and asked him about it.

The prison guard replied, "We tried this morning, but he couldn't eat and even tried to attack people. Luckily, he had the Hokage's seal."

"The Hokage also said that although this guy gets hungry, he won't starve to death, so we don't need to worry about him."

After hearing what the prison guard said, the prisoners didn't say much.

When the day's labor reform ended and the prisoners returned to their cells to rest, Orochimaru was still screaming. An ordinary person would have lost their voice by now, but because of the Calamity Day, he would only scream for a while before recovering and then becoming scream again.

Seeing this scene, the prisoners couldn't help but think: "I will definitely reform myself after I get out. I don't want to have this experience."

From that day on, the recidivism rate among Konoha criminals dropped significantly, but that's another story.

......

That day, Naruto called Kakashi to his office again.

"What's wrong, Naruto? Do you have a mission for me?" Kakashi asked casually.

But then he saw Naruto staring at him with a smile, and he immediately felt a sense of unease and instinctively wanted to push him away.

Naruto waved his hand, and a gust of wind suddenly slammed the office door shut.

"Kakashi-sensei, I'll be troubling you with administrative matters for a while longer."

"Not again?" Kakashi was on the verge of tears.

"Couldn't you have asked someone else? Like Nara Shikaku, he's definitely good at this kind of thing."

"It seems that Uncle Shikaku would prefer his son to do it, but Shikamaru thinks it's too much trouble and will wait until he becomes a Jonin."

"Sigh, alright then." Kakashi had no choice but to accept the task.

"What's going on this time?" he asked casually.

"Go to the land of water."

"The Land of Water? The Fourth Mizukage has been overthrown for some reason, and they are probably still running for the Fifth Mizukage."

At this point, Kakashi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "And one of them we've even met before, it's Zabuza Momochi from the Land of Waves mission."

Kakashi was somewhat frustrated. Only when he heard the news did he realize that he had been deceived and that Zabuza had not died at all.

However, he was too exhausted to fight any longer at that time, so there's not much to say.

To be honest, Naruto was also a little surprised when he heard the news: the system's casual move had brought about such an amazing result.

However, this makes things much more feasible in the Land of Water.

"Is another diplomatic mission being arranged this time?"

Although he said no, Kakashi had already entered a state of handling political affairs.

However, Naruto shook his head and gave a meaningful smile.

"No, this time I'm going to infiltrate secretly."

Chapter 86 Training Zabuza into a Puppet Mizukage (3000 words, please subscribe!)

Inside a secret base in the Land of Water.

Mei Terumi looked at the intelligence report in her hand while rubbing her temples, feeling a sudden headache.

"For the time being, the entire ninja world is probably waiting to see our Land of Water make a fool of itself."

The intelligence report contained a list of foreign secret agents who had recently infiltrated the Land of Water. The list was incredibly dense, and that was only the one that had been discovered; not to mention the ones that hadn't been discovered yet.

The situation in the Land of Water is indeed very bad right now.

Several years ago, the Fourth Mizukage inexplicably strengthened the "Blood Mist Policy," causing panic among the people of Kirigakure. Many ninja clans either died in rebellion or fled to other countries, and Kirigakure's strength was greatly weakened.

Even Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, defected because he couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere of Kirigakure.

Later, Ao, who possessed one Byakugan, realized something was wrong and discovered that the Fourth Mizukage had actually been controlled by genjutsu for many years, yet Kirigakure had not noticed at all.

At the time, this incident caused an uproar within the Hidden Mist Village's upper echelons. How could they not be furious that the Fourth Mizukage, a perfect Jinchuriki, had become someone else's puppet?

Therefore, the Fourth Mizukage had no choice but to repent by force after reforming Kirigakure and then give up his position as Mizukage and the Three-Tails.

The outside world is still unaware of the specifics, only knowing that the Fourth Mizukage has stepped down, given the considerable momentum surrounding his election campaign.

"Zabuza...tsk, I originally sent someone to bring him back just to use him as a weapon."

Thinking of her rivals in the Mizukage position, Mei Terumi frowned slightly.

To put it bluntly, Zabuza might be considered a good fighter, but to say he has Kage-level strength is pure nonsense, especially since he is clearly not good at handling political affairs.

However, the rebellion he instigated a few years ago had won him many hearts, and he also had a clever ice-style bloodline ninja by his side, which helped him to make up for his shortcomings in political affairs to some extent.

As a result, the two sides reached a temporary stalemate in the election.

"The matter of the Jinchūriki is also difficult to handle. If we can find Utakata or a suitable person to become the Three-Tails Jinchūriki, then we can secure the position of Mizukage." Mei Terumi pondered to herself.

Frankly speaking, the current Hidden Mist Village has no Kage, no Jinchuriki, and has suffered heavy losses in Jonin. Its strength is probably only about the same as that of the Hidden Sand Village.

They simply have the advantage of being geographically advantageous, surrounded by the sea, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"I've heard that the Fifth Hokage of Konoha is quite remarkable. Perhaps we could ask him for help? But if we did that, the Land of Water would inevitably be restricted by Konoha..."

Mei Terumi was conflicted and didn't know what to do.

On the other side...

"Alright! As long as you, Lord Uzumaki, can help me become the Mizukage, I will follow Konoha's lead without question!"

While Mei Terumi was agonizing over the interests of Kirigakure, Zabuza had already decisively betrayed Kirigakure.

Naruto couldn't help but chuckle: In Itachi Uchiha's words, Zabuza was completely unfit to become the Mizukage.

Not long ago, Naruto arrived near the Land of Water, then activated his Kagura Mind's Eye and used the Invisibility Release technique he learned from Hayate Kozuki to evade the Hidden Mist ninjas and successfully infiltrate Zabuza's secret base.

Incidentally, during the Chunin Exams, Hayate Gekko was nearly killed by Orochimaru's subordinates, but Konoha strengthened its defenses to protect Naruto, so they discovered and saved him in time.

After infiltrating, Naruto couldn't help but be surprised by the current state of Kirigakure: Zabuza and Mei Terumi were really evenly matched?

He had thought that Zabuza was at most on the verge of collapse and was just struggling to hold on.

As a result, due to the departure of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki from Kirigakure, the Fourth Mizukage's death as atonement, the lack of a Jinchuriki for the Three-Tails, and the heavy losses suffered by various ninja clans who only wanted to observe the situation, Zabuza was able to gain a foothold.

If any of the above factors were less pronounced or more aligned with Mei Terumi, Zabuza would have already lost.

But now that Naruto has arrived, the situation has completely changed.

He intends to train Zabuza into a puppet Mizukage!

"However... you said the Fourth Mizukage was once controlled by genjutsu? Is that information accurate?"

Haku nodded: "Nowadays, Lord Zabuza is a strong contender for the position of Mizukage, and he has some supporters among the higher-ups, so it's probably true."

Zabuza sneered, "It is indeed quite funny. Aren't Jinchuriki supposed to be able to break genjutsu with the help of tailed beasts? Is he even a perfect Jinchuriki?"

However, Naruto, who knew more about the Tailed Beasts, knew that things were not so simple.

The ability to control both a Jinchuriki and a Tailed Beast simultaneously without being detected for so many years most likely indicates the use of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Naruto is aware that there are only three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan.

Sasuke is out of the question, and Itachi Uchiha's age doesn't match, so it can only be the masked man who is suspected to be Obito Uchiha.
