Hokage Naruto, The Opening Black Coffin Shocked Konoha

Kabuto released all the personnel who were originally Orochimaru's alternative bodies, and gave the cold command from the high platform.

"Start fighting. The last person who survives will get the right to leave here!"

Hearing that they could leave this hellish place, even if they didn't know whether Kabuto's promise was valid, was enough to make these guys fight like crazy.

Kabuto looked at the monitor and saw the battle taking place to become Orochimaru's next body.

"Kabuto-sensei, how long can I live?" Kimimaro, who was lying behind Kabuto with life supply equipment plugged in, asked with difficulty.

"That's enough Kimimaro, take care of your body. You don't need to do anything else now, and you are no longer one of the five." Kabuto said desperately.

"But I still..." Kimimaro tried to argue.

"We have found your successor, and Orochimaru-sama also handed over the Heaven Curse Seal, which is as powerful as your Earth Curse Seal, to that person. He also has the Blood Succession Limit." Kabuto glanced out of the corner of his eye. Taking a look at Kimimaro's reaction, "I'm really curious, which one of you is stronger."

Kimimaro forcibly sat up from the bed and said firmly: "I know that I can no longer be used as a container by Orochimaru, but it is up to me to bring back the new container to repay Orochimaru-sama for his kindness to me!"

Kabuto showed a sly smile as if his plan had come true.

...

"What are you doing, taking so long!" Kimimaro suddenly joined the battlefield.

Tayuya was obviously surprised by Kimimaro's appearance and said, "Kimimaro, why are you here?"

Kimimaro looked at the messy scene. The heads of Jirōbō and Ukon were rolled randomly on the ground, the flesh and blood corpses of Tayuya's three Summoning beasts, Sakon's wrists were cut off, and Kidomaru's life and death were unknown after half of his body was blown away. .

Kimimaro allowed himself to accept this situation as much as possible, and murmured: "Is it because they hindered the delivery of this container? Do you know how anxiously Orochimaru-sama is waiting?"

"But..." Tayuya also knew how terrifying Lord Orochimaru was, but the strength of Naruto and Nnoitra in front of him was beyond their knowledge.

"Is your body okay?" Tayuya couldn't help but ask, thinking of Kimimaro's situation.

"Now it is no longer my physical body that controls and supports me, but my mental power." Kimimaro said calmly, as if he was telling an insignificant thing.

Kimimaro's eyes looked at Naruto, who happened to be observing him as well, and the two of them looked at each other as if they were having a confrontation.

Naruto looked at Kimimaro with interest, and could feel the other's extraordinary nature just through Reiatsu.

But from Kimimaro's words and his current state, he always felt that Kimimaro's time was running out.

Naruto looked at Kimimaro and Tayuya and said, "What's wrong? Isn't the power given to you by Orochimaru-sama just this level? It's hard for me to hand over Sasuke to you with such a half-baked ability."

"What's wrong, another guy came, kill him?" Nnoitra came to Naruto and asked, holding the heads of Sakon and Kidomaru.

Naruto collected the souls from the two heads slowly and said calmly: "That guy's body seems quite interesting."

Nnoitra looked at Naruto and said with a contemptuous expression: "I'm not interested in women."

"Ahem," Naruto looked away from Tayuya, "I'm talking about the other one, using his body to reconstruct your body in this world, so that you can escape the shackles of hell."

Nnoitra and Kimimaro looked at each other, then nodded and said: "It seems that this guy is much better than these other idiots. Do you need me to take action?"

Nnoitra said, and raised the sickle in his hand.

Naruto shook his head slightly and said, "No, just leave it to me. That woman's technique has no effect on me. It doesn't take much effort to deal with this guy. Just find a quiet place when you go back and wait for my call."

Nnoitra nodded, canceled the Summoning Technique summons, and disappeared into the air.

Kimimaro looked at Naruto, not daring to show any contempt. He roughly understood Naruto's achievements from Kabuto's mouth.

Kimimaro carefully pulled out the bone of his left arm as a weapon, and said to Tayuya beside him: "Now you are the only one left, take Sasuke and move forward. I am responsible for holding back Uzumaki Naruto."

"But..." Tayuya couldn't help but feel worried as she recalled the terrifying battle that had just occurred. Although she knew very well how powerful Kimimaro was.

Although they were once known together as the Five Sound Ninjas, she knew that Kimimaro's strength was by no means comparable to the four of them.

"That's enough." Kimimaro interrupted Tayuya's words with just two words.

Tayuya naturally sensed Kimimaro's determination and continued running away with Sasuke's container.

"Even though you knew the battle that just happened, you still chose to stop me alone. I really don't know whether I should say you are arrogant or confident?" Naruto said lightly. He was not too worried about Sasuke escaping from his grasp.

Naruto now was more interested in the man who used his own bones as weapons.

Kimimaro didn't talk too much. While rushing towards Naruto, he used Dead Bone Pulse·Tsubaki's Dance, aiming at Naruto's vitals and delivering a series of rapid stabs.

However, Naruto skillfully waved the Katen Kyōkotsu and easily resolved it.

The brief fight with Naruto raised Kimimaro's evaluation of Naruto to a new level. The sword skills of this pair of swordsmen without any waste of power were the only ones he had ever seen in his life.

"You'd better use all your skills. If you disappoint me too much, it's hard for me to guarantee that I won't kill you out of boredom." Naruto said coldly in Kimimaro's ear.

Kimimaro took the opportunity to use Dead Bone Pulse·Ten-finger piercing bullet and tried to sneak attack Naruto, but was still easily blocked by Katen Kyōkotsu.

"Go on, try to please me." Naruto said, Katen Kyōkotsu activated the ability of the shadow ghost, and the cold blade pierced Kimimaro's right sole, and blood spurted out.
