The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

After the matter is over.

Naruto originally wanted to set out tomorrow and continue to look for a way to resurrect Hinata. However, everyone in Sunagakure Village was unwilling to let Naruto leave easily.

Without any choice.

Naruto had no choice but to stay a few more days.

Accept the warm hospitality of Sunagakure Village.

A few days later.

On the occasion of parting.

Gaara and his friends sent Naruto off to the edge of the village.

Gaara: "How? Where will you go next?"

Naruto told the truth: "I should go to Otoyin Village to see if there is any news about Orochimaru."

That’s right!

Naruto's next target is none other than Orochimaru!

During the past few days in Sunagakure Village, although he was accepting the warm hospitality of Sunagakure Village, this did not mean that his thoughts would stop.

During the chat with Gaara, Orochimaru was mentioned.

This just reminded him of the ninjutsu that Orochimaru used to summon the first and second generation Hokages.

So he came up with the idea of ​​​​looking for Orochimaru.

Hearing Naruto say the words 'Orochimaru', Gaara's expression became ugly. No matter how bad his relationship with Rasa was, he still couldn't forget the one who killed his father.

It's Orochimaru...

However, this ugly look only passed away in a flash.

Gaara quickly regained his composure and said: "I wish you good luck, be careful in everything, and if you need anything, remember to come back and ask me for help."

Said.

Gaara made a fist with his hand and raised it in front of Naruto.

Naruto smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely ask you for help if I need it. Just don't think it's troublesome for me."

Naruto also raised his fist.

The two fist bumped.

This friendship.

Both of them will be remembered in their hearts.

…

Two days later.

Sound Hidden Village.

One is in a relatively secretive research laboratory in Yinyin Village.

In the laboratory at this time, Orochimaru was conducting his experiments and research as usual, with Kabuto Yakushi serving as his assistant.

If Orochimaru loved the village before, even if he had become a rebel ninja, he still had to get rid of enemies for the village and prove his existence, prove his worth, and prove his existence in front of the teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The choice of killing is wrong.

That……

Perhaps at that time, after hearing what Shimura Danzo said, he would really try his best to deal with Naruto and eliminate this hidden danger for the village!

but……

That was just the person he was before.

He is now...

Ever since he knew the truth about Uchiha Itachi, after he knew that he was being used by the "Konoha high-level people", and after he knew why those four old guys were so afraid of the "Old Earth Reincarnation", the weight of Konoha in his heart has long been increased.

discount!

Just like in the original work.

When Sasuke revived him.

When he knew the truth.

Konoha has become dispensable in his heart.

It doesn't matter whether Sasuke wants to destroy Konoha or protect Konoha.

Anyway, in this incident.

He and Sasuke were both victims, kept in the dark.

And Sasuke was his proud disciple who was carefully trained by him. It was enough for him to act according to Sasuke's wishes.

Of course, another more important reason is that the so-called hidden danger in his mouth has been the 'mysterious man' Li Yaoxiang from beginning to end, so he has not fully understood the information about this 'mysterious man'.

Orochimaru no longer acts at will like he did before when he loved the village!

I won’t easily believe Danzo Shimura’s lies!

All he needs to do now is to concentrate on studying his 'Art of Immortality'!

But just as Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were concentrating on their research, a rumble suddenly came from outside the laboratory. A moment later, Tayuya, one of the four sound ninjas, ran in.

His whole body looked very embarrassed and scarred.

In the original work, by this time, the graves of the four sound ninjas were already several feet high.

And the reason why they are not dead in this life is all because of the butterfly effect of Li Yaoxiang. If Sasuke did not follow them to escape, they would not be killed by the Twelve Little Strong.

Orochimaru didn't even look at Tayuya, and said in a cold tone: "What's wrong? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Tayuya covered the wound and panted: "Lord Orochimaru, Uzumaki Naruto came to Otogakure Village and said he was looking for you. We refused to disclose your information, and the two sides started fighting.

sorry!

We are no match for Naruto Uzumaki."

Orochimaru was still focused on the potions in his bottles: "Yeah, I got it. There's no need to stop him, just bring him in."

As soon as these words came out.

Instead, Yakushi Kabuto stopped what he was doing: "Lord Orochimaru, I heard that... the relationship between Uzumaki Naruto and Konoha is getting worse and worse. Are you still unable to let go of Konoha and plan to get rid of Uzumaki Naruto for Konoha?"

Human right? Or...you want to take Uzumaki Naruto back to Konoha?"

Until now.

Yakushi Kabuto is doubting Orochimaru's feelings for Konoha.

Because the original so-called ‘Konoha Collapse Plan’ didn’t look like it really wanted to destroy Konoha, there were too many anomalies.

Orochimaru glanced at Yakushi Kabuto: "You have a really rich imagination."

After a while.

Naruto was brought to the research room.

Orochimaru also stopped what he was doing.

Naruto: "Orochimaru, I'm not here to trouble you..."

Orochimaru interrupted Naruto: "I know why you came here. You want to know about the method of resurrection, right?"

Naruto was stunned at first.

Although I don’t understand why Orochimaru knew his purpose.

But he still nodded.

Orochimaru: "I'm sorry, I don't have the resurrection method you want here. What I used to perform in Konoha was a ninjutsu called 'Pure Land Reincarnation'.

It was just a brief resurrection of the dead.

Can't last too long.

It does not belong to the true resurrection.”

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but feel disappointed again.

However, Orochimaru did not let Naruto wait too long, and quickly continued: "But... I know who can truly resurrect the dead!"

Naruto exclaimed: "Who is it?!"

At this time, Orochimaru's expression became playful: "Why should I... tell you?"

"What do you want?" Naruto's expression condensed, his fists clenched, seemingly ready to take action at any time.

Of course Orochimaru caught his subtle movements.

However, Orochimaru just glanced at Naruto's fist and said in a soft tone: "I haven't thought of anything yet, so you owe me a favor first.

I'll tell you when I think of what I want."

Naruto's expression became a little hesitant.

Orochimaru seemed to have seen Naruto's thoughts: "Don't worry, my request will definitely be within your ability, and it will not violate your bottom line as a human being."

Naruto's frown suddenly relaxed.

Naruto: "Then tell me."

Orochimaru: "That man is the leader of the Akatsuki organization. He has the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths! If even he can't do it, I can't think of anyone else who can truly resurrect a dead person."

"Then...how can I find him?"

Orochimaru: "As far as I know, this organization is very interested in tailed beasts. Maybe you don't need to find them, they will come to you themselves.

Of course, if you want to see them faster.

Then you can take the lead in finding the remaining jinchūriki."

That’s right!

This is exactly what Orochimaru is for!

Divert trouble to the east!

He didn't know whether Nagato could resurrect people, but that didn't stop him from throwing Naruto as a burden to Nagato. Anyway, no matter who lived or died in the end, he wouldn't lose anything, and he even gained from Naruto.

It's a favor, isn't it?

Finished.

Naruto was silent for a moment.

Finally, he said "thank you" and left.

Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi looked at each other and continued their research.
