Naruto Paradise

Chapter 6: Is Kushina a summoning beast? [K]

"You're really calm, aren't you afraid that I'll attack you?"

Orochimaru is well aware of his current reputation in Konoha.

Even with the endorsement of the Third Hokage, the villagers of Konoha Village would stay away from him when they saw him.

"Or do you think you are as strong as me?"

It's rare to have the free time to leave the village and not have to go to the battlefield.

Orochimaru walked forward at a leisurely pace.

The young man behind him did the same, neither urging him nor moving away, but just following him slowly.

"Didn't Orochimaru-senpai just say that you are now a companion of the village?"

Follow Orochimaru to meet Tsunade during this period...

Uchiha Kage didn't understand what he was feeling at the moment.

But at least it's not a bad mood.

"Besides, I don't have the Sharingan, so I'm of no value to Orochimaru-senpai, right?"

"You really haven't awakened your Sharingan?"

Even though Orochimaru didn't think that the young man in front of him was the Uchiha Kage from decades ago, he still had some illusions sometimes.

The back, the appearance, even the tone of voice...

"In that case, do you want me to help you awaken?"

"Senior Orochimaru is good at this kind of thing?"

The Uchiha Kage responded casually, then glanced back inadvertently.

It seems like someone is following behind?

"I have read the Second Hokage's research notes on the Uchiha clan, which mentioned the method of the Uchiha clan to open their eyes."

Orochimaru glanced behind him calmly, then said with a smile.

"Killed the person closest to you?"

The Uchiha Kage took over the topic coldly.

"You're right."

Orochimaru really couldn't understand why the Uchiha Kage, who had such a high talent in ninjutsu, had not awakened the Sharingan.

Could it be that on the day Uchiha Itachi exterminated his clan, this kid didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion in his heart?

"How is Sasuke now?"

The Uchiha Kage did not continue the previous topic, but instead asked about Sasuke's current situation.

"He's doing well. Kabuto is preparing herbs for him, and I'm helping him train in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. With his talent, he should be able to do it in a year..."

Possess the chakra and ninjutsu foundation required to learn immortal arts.

Orochimaru couldn't help but think of what the mysterious masked man had said before, that Sasuke had a talent for fairy arts.

That would be great if it were true.

"Wait, are you targeting Sasuke too? Planning on killing him to awaken the Sharingan?"

Noticing the Uchiha Kage's concern for Sasuke, Orochimaru suddenly realized that the other party might have ulterior motives.

"Maybe."

Because you are dark in your heart, you think others are also dark in their hearts?

The Uchiha Kage was almost unable to contain himself at Orochimaru's sudden thought, but after thinking about it, he decided to tease Orochimaru.

"What?! Killed Sasuke, what are you talking about?"

However, just after Uchiha Kage said these ambiguous words, the first person to be amused was not Orochimaru, but the young man who had been following them all the way and hiding in the bushes nearby.

"Have you been bewitched by the snake?"

Naruto suddenly jumped out from the grass and couldn't help but punched the 'unprepared' Uchiha Kage in anger.

"Naruto, don't go out so early!"

Hiding in the bushes with Naruto was a short-haired female ninja wearing a fishnet inner armor.

From her action of trying to grab Naruto with her hands, it can be seen that she does not want to be exposed to the sight of Uchiha Kage and Orochimaru now.

But the impulsive Naruto didn't care about that at all.

"Naruto, why are you leaving the village?"

Grabbing Naruto's wrist easily and casually, the Uchiha Kage was somewhat curious as to the other's purpose in following him.

Doesn't Kakashi's team not have to go to the battlefield?

"You haven't answered me yet, why are you talking about killing Sasuke?"

Naruto always finds it difficult to remain calm when facing this guy who seems to be his father.

Especially after hearing the conversation between the other party and Orochimaru today.

"You won't accomplish anything great if you're always so impulsive. Think about it carefully, would I do something like this?"

"I……"

Naruto lowered the strength in his hands.

He really couldn't imagine a scenario where the Uchiha Kage would do something bad to Sasuke.

"sorry."

Tilting his head to the side, Naruto quietly apologized for his earlier recklessness.

"Anko, it's fine if this little Jinchuriki brat is messing around, but why are you following him?"

That’s right, the short-haired female ninja who was also following them was Orochimaru’s former disciple, Anko Mitarashi.

Orochimaru also sighed for this female disciple.

"Of course I'm here to see you, Orochimaru!"

When she was ruthlessly abandoned by Orochimaru, she decided to understand the master-disciple relationship between her and Orochimaru with her own hands.

She is Konoha's special jonin, destined to arrest Orochimaru, the traitor who committed a serious crime.

But now...

The plot suddenly took a big turn.

Orochimaru, the traitorous ninja who was once hated by everyone, returned to Konoha after being whitewashed by the Third Hokage and became the hero who helped Konoha defeat the Sand Village.

This made Hongdou suddenly feel the world's malice towards her.

Orochimaru is no longer a traitorous ninja, but a hero of Konoha. Then what are her efforts and persistence, resentment and tears over the years?

Child's play? Clown?

During the time when Orochimaru returned to the village, Red Bean wanted to find Orochimaru to ask for clarification many times, but when she was trying to muster up the courage, she found that Orochimaru already had a more outstanding disciple by his side.

Sasuke Uchiha.

And it is excellent in all aspects.

She saw with her own eyes that Sasuke defeated all of Orochimaru's men who were brought to Konoha from Otogakure on the first day he followed Orochimaru.

Since then, Sasuke has become Orochimaru's most valued disciple, and she...

He just watched all this coldly, and didn't even dare to come out of his hiding place to question Orochimaru.

It was only now, when she met Naruto on the way looking for the Uchiha Kage, that she mustered up the courage to follow him.

"Although I don't know why the Third Hokage favors you, but Orochimaru, those experiments you conducted, and the mark you planted on me..."

Hongdou pulled open her collar, revealing the Heaven's Curse Seal on her neck.

"You're a sinner who used children as experimental subjects! I will never forgive you!"

Holding the kunai, Hongdou was determined to fight Orochimaru to the death here.

The day when Orochimaru carved a curse mark on her and abandoned her left a deep psychological trauma on the young Anko.

And then there were the human test subjects in petri dishes that Orochimaru had morbidly shown her...

"Really, kid, you get so excited every time we meet."

Faced with Red Bean's aggressive behavior and her vow to fight him to the death, Orochimaru just smiled and shook his head.

Then he walked over step by step.

After walking in front of Hongdou, he suddenly stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the disciple's cheek.

"Are you still holding a grudge against me for throwing you away after using you?"

"Shut up!"

Hongdou finally mustered up her trembling legs and jumped away from Orochimaru, avoiding his touch.

At the same time, seemingly because Orochimaru was right in front of her, Hongdou felt a sudden sharp pain in the curse seal on her neck.

The pain made her throw away the kunai in her hand and kneel on the ground.

"Akabe-sensei, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Naruto rushed over, thinking that Orochimaru had done something to Anko.

"You damned stinking snake, what did you do to Anko-sensei?"

"She's just tired and needs some sleep."

Facing Naruto who had already started to roll the Rasengan, Orochimaru explained with a calm expression.

Then, before she could finish her words, Hongdou, who was still enduring the pain of the curse, fainted from the pain and fell to the ground.

"A curse seal? It looks like she's just suffering without any benefit."

The Uchiha Kage curiously checked the fallen Anko with his hand.

"No, actually this curse did help her."

Orochimaru looked at the curvy and exquisite figure of Red Bean lying on the ground with eyes without any emotion.

"This child loves sweets. Although the Heavenly Curse Seal I gave her can't improve her combat ability, it can continuously consume the excess energy in her body and maintain her figure."

"……is that so?"

So it is the Heavenly Curse Seal that has the effect of weight loss?

The Uchiha Kage found Orochimaru's surprising explanation inexplicably reasonable.

Given Orochimaru's personality, he might really do that.

"Is she...really okay?"

After hearing the conversation between Uchiha Kage and Orochimaru, Naruto couldn't help but give up the Rasengan that was gradually taking shape in his hand, and scratched his head in confusion.

"fine!"

To Orochimaru's surprise, Red Bean, who had just fainted from the pain, actually stood up again.

"It's just the curse seal taking effect. I won't collapse like this!"

After stubbornly standing up from the ground, Hongdou looked at Orochimaru in front of her with a complicated expression.

It turns out that the curse is used to lose weight... No, even without this curse, she wouldn't be able to gain weight!

Don't be disturbed by such seemingly ridiculous remarks, Hongdou!

Orochimaru is a despicable villain who is doing experiments without any humanity. You can't let him go!

Thinking of this, Hongdou clenched the kunai in her hand again.

"You are the disciple that Hong likes, right? Thank you for your Palm Immortal Technique."

Hongdou knew that she was able to wake up so quickly thanks to this Uchiha boy.
