Naruto: I, Naruto, Start With The Full-Level Shining Fruit

After dealing with Sakon, Ukon, and Jirobo, Naruto slowly walked to Tayuya, crouched down, and said softly, "Interested in following me? Although I can't give you stronger power, I can give you a life of servitude."

Tayuya: "......"

At this moment, she was very conflicted. She didn't want to betray Orochimaru, but if she didn't, she would be killed by the man in front of her!

After hesitating for a few seconds, Tayuya made up her mind and gripped her flute!

But the next moment, Naruto shot a laser from his eyes, directly blowing her brains out.

"Looks like digging into Orochimaru's wall is not easy."

Naruto shook his head, feeling anxious about his lack of charm.

However, these people were all adopted by Orochimaru from a young age. Perhaps they each had their own regrets. Orochimaru adopted them during the low points of their lives, providing them with food, clothing, and even power... Such people are indeed not easy to betray Orochimaru!

After dealing with the Sound Four, Naruto looked at the wooden barrel.

At this moment, Sasuke was merging with the power of the Cursed Mark inside the barrel. After coming out, he would perfectly adapt to the power of the Cursed Mark and become an even more suitable vessel for Orochimaru!

He didn't interrupt Sasuke, but leaned aside and quietly waited for Sasuke to come out of the barrel.

He didn't know how long had passed,

Sasuke pushed open the lid of the barrel and walked out on his own initiative.

He stared at Naruto warily, his expression cold, "Are you going to stop me?"

Naruto shook his head and asked a strange question, "Remember the wallet I gave you?"

"Wallet?"

Sasuke was stunned and took out the snake-shaped wallet. "It seems like you forced me to buy this."

"......"

"That's not the point. The point is the sentence I told you before, remember? I said you would use it sooner or later," Naruto said speechlessly.

Sasuke grabbed the wallet, frowned and said, "You guessed that I would go to Orochimaru?"

"You can't gain power by following me, so what's so strange about leaving me to follow Orochimaru."

Naruto said with an all-knowing look, "So don't worry, I won't stop you from finding Orochimaru, but if you're leaving, shouldn't you say goodbye? No matter what, you're still my subordinate, right?"

Sasuke lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and said, "Sorry, but I have to leave now."

"No need to be so hasty!"

Naruto said lightly, "You can slowly go to Otogakure, or simply take a boat to leave the Land of Snow. At this time, Orochimaru should have reached the point where he has no choice but to look for a new body as a vessel. As long as you arrive a little later, he will have to use other vessels!"

"Once Orochimaru uses a new vessel, then his ninjutsu will need to cool down for three years before it can be activated again, and you will get three years of development time!"

"I hope you are still you after three years. Remember to send me a message when you fight Itachi, I would also like to know who will win!"

After saying that, Naruto turned into a golden flash and disappeared, leaving Sasuke in place to ponder.

He didn't understand why Naruto wanted to help him.

According to his understanding of Naruto in the past six months, Naruto is definitely not the kind of person who values ​​relationships very much, not to mention that he and Naruto don't have a deep relationship.

Except when doing tasks, Naruto will protect them as subordinates, but most of the time, they don't have much interaction!

So why would he do this?

Could it be that I misjudged him?

Unable to figure it out, Sasuke simply didn't think about it.

However, he also listened to Naruto's opinion and postponed his plan to go to Otogakure!

......

On the other side,

Naruto returned to the Daimyo's mansion, wrote a letter, and then asked Sakura to send it back to Konoha Village.

It had been two months, and they needed to submit a mission report that had already been written.

Sakura took the envelope in her hand, her face worried, "Naruto, Sasuke-kun he..."

"Sasuke has left, he went to find Orochimaru," Naruto said lightly.

"Went to find Orochimaru?!"

Sakura was shocked. Thinking of Orochimaru's terrifying face, she couldn't help but worry about Sasuke, "Naruto-kun, didn't you bring Sasuke back? You can't let him go to Orochimaru, Sasuke will be in danger!"

"Respect others' fate, this is Sasuke's own choice!" Naruto said calmly.

"But... but......"

Sakura wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Naruto, "There's no buts, he witnessed his family die and bears a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred, it's normal to have the idea of ​​revenge!"

"On the other hand, while your parents are still alive, it's better to go back and see them more often. It's been a long time since you went back to Konoha to visit your parents, right?"

Sakura hadn't returned to Konoha for several months, and it was impossible not to miss her parents.

But compared to her parents, whom she could see at any time, she was more worried about Sasuke, whom she might never see again!

Sakura left in disappointment,

After a night of thinking, she left without saying goodbye, just like Sasuke.

However, she did not follow Naruto's instructions to return to Konoha, but took a boat all the way to the Land of Fire, and then turned to Otogakure!

Naruto didn't know that Sakura would make such a decision after thinking about it all night, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care about Sakura!

If Sakura encountered danger in a mission because she obeyed his orders, he would still care!

But Sakura is disobeying his orders and seeking death herself!

Even if he is the captain, he will not rescue a teammate who is seeking death, not to mention that Sakura has no value to him!

Relatively speaking, the reason why he chased Sasuke was because Sasuke still had a certain value to him!

Before, because he hadn't mastered Observation Haki and was afraid of Itachi Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami, he didn't fight Itachi Uchiha to the end!

But now it's different!

Having the ability to predict the future, it is impossible for him to fall into any of Itachi Uchiha's illusions!

So Naruto hoped to use Sasuke's hand to find Itachi Uchiha and take the Kotoamatsukami in his hand!

Anyway, Itachi Uchiha is also prepared to die generously, so it is better to take this eye from him for future use!

A few days later,

Jiraiya came to the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Snow with a bundle of money on his back. His ungrateful steps looked like a nouveau riche who had suddenly made a fortune!

"Naruto! I'm here to exchange information!!"

Jiraiya came to the council hall, smashed the money on the ground, sat down on the money, and a trace of heartache flashed across his face.

After today, he will say goodbye to these tens of millions of dollars!

Although a mere tens of millions is just a drop in the bucket in his savings, he still couldn't help but feel pain!
