Listen to advice: I, Sasuke, why should I defect to Konoha?.

But despite the noise, he still took advantage of the situation to lower his body and land slowly on the ground.

He himself came here for this purpose!

"Sasuke, I knew you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die." Naruto shouted again enthusiastically after landing, his burning eyes even more affectionate than seeing his own father.

"Ahem..." Ignoring Naruto's antics, Sasuke coughed and got to the point. "The best strategy is to solve the root of the problem, the Nine-Tails."

"Uh, is this so easy to solve? That Nine-Tails guy won't cooperate honestly. If it were that easy, I wouldn't have gone to Uncle Octopus to learn how to control the Nine-Tails!" Naruto rolled his eyes and retorted directly when he heard it.

Fukasaku beside him also nodded in agreement, "Although the Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails, it cannot continuously control the Nine-Tails for a long time to cooperate with little Naruto, and it is even more impossible to convince it!"

"Well, this requires me to talk to the Nine-Tails. Maybe he will agree on a whim?" Sasuke showed a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth, but did not make a direct guarantee!

"Well, I think you should talk about the other two methods. This one is not reliable at all." Naruto shook his head hurriedly when he saw this, and had no hope for this at all.

Nine-Tails, is it that easy to communicate? Is he an idiot or is Sasuke too naive!

Seeing Naruto refuse, Sasuke did not try to persuade him, "Then the worst option, and the easiest way, is to use the Shadow Clone."

“Shadow clone?” Fukasaku paused after hearing that, then took a quick breath and thought of his previous practice of immortal arts.

"Right! Why didn't I think of that? The previous meditation training was to have shadow clones accumulate natural energy, and then release it and feed it back to me to enter Sage Mode. As long as I create enough shadow clones to accumulate natural energy, I can release them one by one and continue to maintain Sage Mode."

"Great! This is the best solution." The more Naruto spoke, the more it made sense to him, and he was so excited that he almost danced with joy.

Fukasaku Sennin also agreed with this, and then looked at Sasuke with some doubt, "So, what is the middle strategy?"

Hearing Fukasaku's question, Naruto also looked over at the same time, but he was no longer nervous as before, because he had already found a solution.

Seeing Naruto and Fukasaku staring at each other at the same time, Sasuke turned his gaze and stared at Naruto's shoulder, "That's the curse seal!"

"Curse Seal?" Naruto said subconsciously after hearing this, his face changed drastically in disbelief.

All along, he had always believed that the curse seal was the evil power of Orochimaru! Even though he could control and use it, he still resisted it in his heart every time.

Now Sasuke said that the curse seal can solve his shortcomings in becoming a sage, how could Naruto not be surprised! !

"Don't yell like that, Naruto." Sasuke scolded, and then his eyes became serious, "Cursed seal, I also had it before. So Naruto, can't you feel it now? The essence of the curse seal is to absorb natural energy to enhance strength."

"That is to say, you can completely use the curse seal to replace the shadow clone or Fukasaku Sage. Compared with your previous division of 'movement and stillness', there is no more suitable 'stillness' than the curse seal..."

"As long as you find the balance, you can use the seal to maintain Sage Mode for a long time."

"This is more perfect than Shadow Clone. After all, you don't have the opportunity to prepare in advance for every battle, and you don't have to worry about the risk of Shadow Clone being broken in advance!"

Chapter 377: Crow Bie Tianshen, the terrifying eight thousand spears

"Use the curse seal to absorb natural energy!!" Naruto couldn't help but gasp when he heard Sasuke's explanation.

And Fukasaku next to him also had a look of surprise!

But after being surprised, Fukasaku clearly realized the benefits of this method. If it is true as Sasuke said, the curse seal relies on absorbing natural energy to enhance strength, then it is indeed a more suitable practical solution.

"Try it, little Naruto..." After taking a deep breath, Fukasaku turned around and urged.

If this method is feasible, it would be equivalent to finding another perfect Sage Mode solution for the Myobokusan Senjutsu, and he must try it once.

"I understand..." Nodding to Sensaku Fukasaku and Sasuke, Naruto sat cross-legged and activated the curse seal.

As the tadpole black lines of Curse Seal 1 spread across Naruto's body, he soon felt a steady stream of natural energy entering his body along the Curse Seal.

Although this natural energy is indeed natural energy, its quality is extremely mixed!

Before it had time to fuse into Senjutsu Chakra in a 1:1:1 ratio, Naruto's own chakra had already been eroded by it, becoming violent and restless.

"No, although the curse seal can indeed absorb natural energy, this energy is difficult to control. Once the body's chakra is activated, it will directly be in the curse seal state." Feeling the surging chakra in his body, Naruto opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.

Although he can control the battle in Curse Seal One and even Curse Seal Two states, he cannot control the chakra changes therein!

"Idiot, if it was that easy, Orochimaru would have used the curse seal to become a snake sage long ago!" Sasuke said bluntly, "As long as we make sure that the curse seal can absorb natural energy, then there is no problem with this method. Next, we just need to keep trying to change the fusion ratio of the sage chakra and find the balance point."

"Little Sasuke is right. When using the curse seal to absorb natural energy, we can't simply fuse the senjutsu chakra in a 1:1:1 ratio. We need to make slight adjustments based on the curse seal. Whether you can surpass little Jiraiya depends on whether you can find the trick! Little Naruto..." Fukasaku followed closely.

"Let's try my best. I will definitely complete this training and surpass the Lecherous Sage! No, I will surpass Sasuke too!!" The two of them sang in unison, and Naruto instantly became full of energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

The next second, Naruto put his hands together and held his breath, concentrating, and the curse seal patterns on his body kept changing...

At the same time, Yuyin Village.

Under the continuous rain, a young girl leaned against the window, looking at the rain ninjas gathering in the rain and preparing for battle, looking thoughtful...

"Who are you? Why have I never seen you in Uchiha!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind the girl, breaking the silence.

"Uchiha Itachi, what are you doing here?" Without turning around, the girl snorted coldly and asked instead of answering.

Seeing that the girl didn't move, Itachi's eyes flashed with determination and turned red, "I'll stop Uchiha from making any more mistakes!"

"Made a mistake?" The girl was slightly stunned before she turned around to look. Similarly, a pair of scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan stared at him with a cold gleam. "Are you going to attack me? Uchiha Itachi..."

"Controlling Kabuto Yakushi to summon those four to invade Konoha is something I will never allow to happen! And now that you have just extracted the Seven-Tails' chakra and your pupil power is weakened, it is the best time. So, I'm sorry..."

Itachi spoke expressionlessly and coldly, and almost at the same time, the Eternal Mangekyo was spinning rapidly. "Tsukuyomi..."

"Tsukuyomi..."

In a flash, the girl on the opposite side was not willing to be outdone and at the same time used her pupil skills to burst out in confrontation!

In an instant, two invisible illusion attacks collided in the blink of an eye, and the tremendous pupil power stimulated each other in the consciousness of the two people.

For a while, they were evenly matched!

And at this moment, "You lose..."

The itachi spat out three words coldly, and after a few cawing sounds, it turned into dozens of crows and flew away!

Just as the girl was surprised, a crow suddenly flew past and they looked at each other for a moment. A four-cornered windmill kaleidoscope pattern was reflected in her pupils, and tears of blood flowed out...

'Other gods...'

In an instant, a will penetrated into the girl's mind through her eyes at lightning speed.

"This is it!!" Feeling another will subtly entering her brain, the girl's face suddenly changed.

If he did not possess the mind-controlling eye technique, Eight Thousand Spears, he would not have been able to detect this silent and subtle invasion.

"It's useless. Even the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan cannot resist the illusion of Kotoamatsukami. No matter who you were before, you will become Sasuke's helper and protect Konoha with him!" Itachi pondered confidently as he looked at the girl whose face kept changing.

As the owner of the Eternal Kaleidoscope, he could best understand the horror of the pupil technique of the God of Other Worlds. Moreover, in order to ensure that nothing could go wrong, he had already transferred his own pupil power to a seal in advance to increase the strength of the illusion.

The Tsukuyomi attack just now was just to test whether the opponent was the real one, and to cover Kotoamatsukami's attack.

"Really? This is indeed a very powerful illusion. Unfortunately, the opponent you met is me." The girl's expression suddenly relaxed, her pupils burst into blood-red fluorescence, and she looked contemptuous.

The next moment, under Itachi's horrified gaze, four chakras containing spiritual energy emerged from the void and penetrated into the girl's body.

With the replenishment of four spiritual energies and chakra, the pupil power of the god of heaven was quickly suppressed and driven away...

At the same time, Kakuzu and Hidan, who were far away from the Hidden Rain Village, and Kisame and Kabuto, who were in the Hidden Rain Village, all four of them fell to the ground with their eyes vacant!

"Not good!" Seeing that the girl seemed to be trying to break free from Kotoamatsukami, Itachi's eyes flashed with determination and tears of blood flowed out, "Amaterasu..."

Whoosh, almost at the same time as endless black flames enveloped the girl, the red Susanoo appeared on Itachi's body, and the Ten-fist Sword condensed in the first moment to completely seal the opponent.

If you can't fight for it, then you can only kill!

But at the same time when the Ten Fist Sword appeared, the girl in the black flames had a flash of scarlet in her eyes, "It's too late..."

At the same moment, the seal on the back of Itachi's hand appeared, and the chakra and pupil power of his whole body that were ready to be released involuntarily flowed into the girl's body! Susanoo also dissipated in an instant...

As one gained strength while the other lost strength, in less than half a minute Itachi's eyes lost their Sharingan state and he stood there in a daze.

"I'm sorry, my mark was already planted when you looked at me just now. Tsukuyomi is just a cover-up, the real mark does not need the assistance of illusion at all!!" Looking at Itachi who was controlled by the Eight Thousand Spears, the girl's eyes were as cold as ice.

Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu were just eye techniques that were transplanted later. The real Eight Thousand Spears could be engraved silently and successfully just by looking at each other.

Living in the treacherous Warring States Period, and then being sealed away for hundreds of years, how could she easily trust others...

"Clap clap clap..."

Suddenly, there was a round of applause from the void behind the girl. "Itachi is incredible. He actually attacked you while Scorpion and I were away! But luckily, he didn't succeed to you."

"I hope you didn't do it on purpose this time, otherwise..." The girl turned her head and glanced sideways, snorted with a gloomy face, and ignored the person who came and walked out the door.

[This guy...] Seeing the girl being so rude, a trace of fear flashed in the masked eyes and he remained silent.

However, when he saw Itachi being controlled nearby, his suppressed mood was instantly released and he was in a good mood!

This time, not only did they solve the threat of Itachi, but they also got information about Qinglong's eight thousand spears, which was a two-birds-with-one-stone move.

"I hope she doesn't become the second Uchiha Itachi..." After a moment, the masked Madara suddenly changed his aura and glanced at Itachi with a sigh.

Chapter 378: Orochimaru returns to the village, Yuyin declares war

Three days later, Konoha.

"You're finally back, hahaha... Tsunade will never believe that I actually brought you back this time!" At the gate, Jiraiya said to Orochimaru beside him with tension and vigilance.

Although this guy did not resist along the way, on the contrary he cooperated with him and took half a month to come back.

However, the more this happened, the more uneasy Jiraiya became! He became more and more suspicious of his previous idea of ​​letting Orochimaru return to the village and then catching him in the trap...

Based on his understanding of Orochimaru, he must have some tricks up his sleeve to stay calm. Perhaps, entering Konoha was his goal!

What on earth does Orochimaru want to do? Is he really just going to see Sasuke?

"Hehe..." Orochimaru smiled calmly, not caring about Jiraiya's little thoughts at all, "Let's go, since we are in Konoha, we should go meet old friends!"

After saying this, without giving Jiraiya a chance to reply, he walked straight into the gate of Konoha while watching the stunned expressions of Kanzuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu.

"That, that's..."

"Orochimaru! How could it be him? Why is Lord Jiraiya with him??"

Looking at the backs of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, the two sweaty gate gods suddenly trembled and murmured, and the huge psychological pressure disappeared and they gasped...

"Oh no, the S-rank rebel nin Orochimaru appeared in the village, I must go and inform the Hokage." Soon, Kamijou Izumo thought of something and his face changed drastically.

No matter why Lord Jiraiya brought Orochimaru back, he must report to the Hokage!

At the same time as Shen Yue Izumo was reporting, the appearance of Orochimaru also caused an uproar in Konoha...

"Damn it! That's Orochimaru, the S-rank rebel ninja who killed the Third Hokage and launched the Konoha collapse plan. How dare he come to our Konoha!"

"You're still with Jiraiya-sama. Is he arrested? That would be great..."
