Chapter 155 Fierce Battle with Orochimaru, Naruto's Fury: Do You Have No Ninja Spirit Anymore?! The Eruption of Darkness
"Sasuke."
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki leave directly with Orochimaru, Sakura Haruno subconsciously looked at Sasuke Uchiha.
"Let's wait and see."
Sasuke Uchiha said in a low voice, "Just as Naruto said, keep it a secret for Naruto."
Regardless, Naruto helped him, and he knew that Naruto had a secret.
For example, the apple that restored his strength after he ate it.
"Um."
Sakura Haruno nodded upon hearing Sasuke Uchiha's words.
And at this very moment.
On the rooftop of the hospital.
Orochimaru looked at Naruto Uzumaki with great interest: "Nine-Tails brat, you're not afraid of me at all, and you even want to make a deal with me. I must say, you've got some nerve."
"What's there to be afraid of? We have no grudge against each other."
Naruto Uzumaki looked at Orochimaru with a surprised expression: "Then why can't we communicate? Trade?"
This guy has a really weird way of thinking.
"That makes a lot of sense."
Orochimaru nodded slightly and said, "So, what kind of deal is it? Tell me."
"I'll give you Momotaro rice balls; these can be used to tame summoned beasts."
Naruto Uzumaki said in a deep voice, "But you have to teach me some ninjutsu and help me gather intelligence on the ninja world. I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely be able to gather the information I want."
The guy in front of me is definitely not a test taker in Naruto Uzumaki's eyes.
Because this guy gave me a much more terrifying feeling than Zabuza did.
This means that Orochimaru is much more dangerous than Zabuza Momochi!
The fact that such a dangerous guy infiltrated the Chunin Exams must mean he had some ulterior motive, but that's none of his business!
"Ninjutsu? Intelligence?"
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Orochimaru's expression suddenly turned surprised.
This brat, does he lack ninjutsu?
That shouldn't be the case.
Since they can use the Rasengan and have learned the forbidden technique Eight Gates, they shouldn't lack ninjutsu.
In Orochimaru's view, this was definitely the old guys in Konoha loosening their restrictions.
But based on his understanding, that's impossible!
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Orochimaru immediately sensed something amiss.
"Yes, intelligence and ninjutsu, preferably ninjutsu without hand seals!"
Naruto Uzumaki nodded seriously: "It should be very simple for you!"
"Even the ninjutsu I developed is not suitable for you without hand seals."
Orochimaru chuckled, "Many of my ninjutsu are related to summoning beasts. Do you want to form a contract with my summoning beasts? You are not suitable."
"Forehead."
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki felt a chill run down his spine.
Indeed, this guy's summoned creatures are all snakes, disgusting things.
"However, some ninjutsu are fine. I also have a hobby of collecting ninjutsu. Although I don't carry many with me, we can establish a long-term partnership."
The next second, Orochimaru changed the subject, slowly raised his hand, and casually made a gesture.
Then, he opened his mouth, and something strange happened that Naruto Uzumaki found bizarre.
Suddenly, Orochimaru's throat began to writhe, as if something was being squeezed out of his body.
A moment later, a dark-colored spool slowly came out of his mouth, with a little sticky liquid still clinging to its surface.
"Cough cough."
Orochimaru coughed lightly, seemingly not finding anything wrong with his behavior.
Instead, he smiled slightly and handed the damp scroll to Naruto Uzumaki as if he were giving him something extremely ordinary: "For example, this one contains two Wind Release ninjutsu. If you want others, you can talk to me next time, and I'll bring them to you."
Naruto Uzumaki: "."
Naruto Uzumaki, who witnessed all of this, felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to his scalp.
Orochimaru's bizarre behavior gave him goosebumps.
Looking at the still damp and glistening scroll Orochimaru handed him, Naruto's face turned green: "This is disgusting."
He instinctively wanted to refuse to touch the scroll.
However, considering that it involved ninjutsu, Naruto immediately used a small Rasengan to instantly clear the liquid off the scroll.
Then, somewhat warily, he took the scroll and opened it with Orochimaru's slight smile.
I saw two ninjutsu techniques in an instant.
Wind Release: Wind Slicer Technique
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough
Next to these two ninjutsu techniques were densely packed records of various complex symbols, gestures, and chakra usage techniques, clearly indicating an extremely detailed instruction that left Naruto Uzumaki speechless.
Not really.
How come these two ninjutsu techniques are even more detailed than the ninjutsu techniques in the Book of Seals he obtained before?
Compared to the ninjutsu, the ninjutsu recorded on this scroll contains much more detailed information about its training.
It seems they've done a very deep study, and there's even more to it than meets the eye.
For a moment, Naruto's eyes widened.
He glanced at Orochimaru.
Who is this guy?
If the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique in the Book of Seals was like someone else preparing a meal for him, and he still had to pick up his chopsticks and eat it when he saw the food.
So the two ninjutsu information recorded on this scroll are essentially delivered right to his mouth; all he has to do is open his mouth and eat them.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Seeing Naruto look up at him, Orochimaru smiled and said, "What I have in abundance is ninjutsu, and I can provide you with even more."
"Very satisfied!"
Naruto Uzumaki nodded.
"So, what kind of intelligence do you want to gather?"
The next second, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes: "In what aspect?"
"Hidden Mist Village"
Naruto Uzumaki smiled broadly: "I'm very interested in information about Kirigakure."
"Mist Shadow Village?"
Orochimaru looked surprised upon hearing this.
He was still wondering what kind of information Naruto Uzumaki would want, but it turned out to be Kirigakure.
Even he didn't know much about this ninja village.
Why is this nine-tailed brat asking about Kirigakure?
"no problem."
Despite his confusion, Orochimaru still wanted the Momotaro rice ball and nodded, saying, "I will pass on the information I find to you later. Don't worry about me not being able to find you, as long as you are in Konoha."
"Well then, it's your turn."
As they spoke, Orochimaru looked at Naruto Uzumaki, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I've already given you what I have. What about what you have? I don't want you to only give me one."
"Give."
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Naruto Uzumaki did not hesitate at all and immediately took out a bag of Momotaro rice balls and threw it to Orochimaru.
Anyway, I still have one bag left, which I just opened.
The bag that was thrown out was already a little less, so taking out his extra Momotaro rice balls was only beneficial to Naruto Uzumaki.
After all, the two ninjutsu techniques they just acquired were already a profit.
Orochimaru, however, noticed something, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
Then, without changing his expression, he took the bag of Momotaro rice balls that Naruto Uzumaki threw to him, a hint of curiosity appearing in his eyes.
How exactly does this thing manage to tame spirit beasts?
Orochimaru casually opened the box, took out a Momotaro rice ball, and gently squeezed it. The rice ball was soft and chewy, emitting an enticing aroma. It was just an ordinary rice ball, nothing special.
Or rather, it's not as good as the rice balls sold in restaurants.
There was nothing mixed in.
"And where did you get that nine-tailed brat from?"
While playing with the rice ball in his hand, Orochimaru was thinking about something else.
Just now, in his line of sight, he saw Naruto Uzumaki simply raise his hand and throw this thing over.
It was as if it appeared out of thin air, causing him to slightly narrow his eyes.
It should be noted that even his ninjutsu scrolls are stored in his stomach.
Orochimaru glanced at Naruto Uzumaki without leaving a trace, and quickly noticed the bronze ring on Naruto's right ring finger, raising an eyebrow.
Could it be related to that ring?
And why would such a young nine-tailed brat wear a ring?
Thinking of the rather large bag of Momotaro rice balls that Naruto had just thrown out, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.
Let's give it a try.
Thinking this, Orochimaru, trying not to arouse Naruto's suspicion, slowly approached him, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "Your rice ball is quite special. Can you tell me how you made it? What did you add to it?"
"Hmph, I can't tell you that."
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Naruto Uzumaki felt slightly smug, unaware of Orochimaru's intentions.
"So, will you still be able to provide it in the future?"
"sure."
Naruto Uzumaki nodded: "These rice balls I'm giving you are enough to exchange for some ninjutsu and information. If you want rice balls again, you'll have to give me the information first."
"No problem, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Orochimaru chuckled, casually raising his hand and extending it towards Naruto's wrist, as if to shake hands and cooperate, expressing goodwill.
Seeing this, Naruto, though still wary of Orochimaru, hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand, considering their temporary cooperation.
After all, in his view, Orochimaru would never lay a hand on him.
"Snapped!"
The moment their hands clasped, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he attacked without hesitation.
His fingers, as nimble as a viper, swiftly slid across Naruto's fingers, preparing to snatch the ring directly from Naruto's hand.
"you!"
However, the moment he touched the ring on Naruto's finger, Naruto realized his intention and quickly bent his hand back.
"What do you want to do!"
Naruto Uzumaki suddenly retreated, his eyes blazing with anger.
That bastard, why did he suddenly touch his ring out of the blue?
Naruto Uzumaki quickly assumed a defensive stance, his body slightly tense, ready to respond to any further moves by Orochimaru.
Seeing Naruto's reaction, Orochimaru's lips curled into a cold smile, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Oh? I didn't expect you to react so quickly, Naruto."
"It seems there is indeed something wrong with your ring."
As he spoke, Orochimaru clapped his hands lightly, as if he didn't care at all about his previous defeat.
However, that cold gaze remained firmly fixed on the ring on Naruto's hand.
He's already figured it out.
It turned out to be exactly as I had guessed.
Otherwise, there's no reason why Naruto Uzumaki would react so strongly.
"you!"
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Naruto's expression changed drastically.
Is this guy born in the Year of the Dog? How can he be so sensitive?
Did you notice his storage ring instantly?
At the same time, Naruto Uzumaki instantly realized the reason.
He took it for granted when he took out the Momotaro rice ball, but Orochimaru wouldn't know about the storage ring!
So their attention was immediately drawn to his hands.
For a moment, Naruto Uzumaki became extremely wary of this guy.
That bastard attacked without warning; he's so insidious.
Subconsciously, Naruto Uzumaki slightly withdrew his right hand.
"This ring seems to be something special, Naruto."
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki looking on high alert, Orochimaru licked his lips, his tone filled with keen interest: "Let me guess, can it store items? Like a sealing scroll?"
"Could I borrow it to take a look and study it?"
Damn it.
Upon hearing this, Naruto's expression darkened.
"We've already made a deal, and you still dare to lay a hand on me? Aren't you afraid I won't do business with you again next time?"
"How could that be? Naruto, I was just interested in your ring and wanted to borrow it to take a look. Is that not allowed?"
Orochimaru chuckled, "We're partners now, so it's no big deal to lend it to me."
As he spoke, Orochimaru instantly appeared in front of Naruto Uzumaki.
"Rasengan!?"
Seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki roared, his chakra surging like a tide, instantly condensing into a blue sphere of light. The intense chakra swirled, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
Naruto Uzumaki didn't hesitate to take action against this guy.
"It's no use, Naruto."
Orochimaru deftly dodged Naruto's Rasengan with a swift movement, his gaze remaining fixed on the ring on Naruto's back, as if it were his prey that he was determined to possess.
"Cooperation is cooperation, but before that, I'm interested in the ring on your hand."
Orochimaru even wondered if there might be more Momotaro rice balls in the bowl he had obtained.
He absolutely had to get his hands on that ring today, if he could.
"You bastard, do you even have a ninja spirit?"
Naruto's face turned green: "Who would want to make a deal with you like this?"
"So I'm giving you a lesson."
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze filled with greed and amusement: "And do you think you can stop me with your strength?"
As he spoke, Orochimaru gently raised one hand, and the surrounding air instantly tensed, as if he were about to launch an attack at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Naruto felt a strong sense of alarm.
He knew that this guy was far stronger than him, but he absolutely could not let this guy take his storage ring.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique"
Without hesitation, Naruto Uzumaki formed hand seals, and instantly dozens of Naruto Uzumaki shadow clones appeared on the rooftop, surrounding Orochimaru in unison.
These shadow clones had sharp eyes and assumed fighting stances, as if they were about to launch an attack at any moment.
At this point, Naruto fully understood the danger this guy posed.
Therefore, he directly used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
"Oh? The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"
Orochimaru looked at the shadow clones around him, his eyes showing no panic, but rather full of interest and amusement: "Heh, another forbidden technique. Naruto, you really do have quite a few good things on you."
Orochimaru's words carried a hint of mockery, but also contained amazement and admiration for Naruto's skills.
After all, he knew that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was a forbidden technique with high energy consumption, and ordinary ninjas could not easily use it!
However, Naruto Uzumaki can use it in battle at will.
This nine-tailed brat does indeed have advantages that other ninjas don't have.
It's not entirely incomprehensible that they could perform such a forbidden technique.
However, the next second, Orochimaru saw a Naruto quickly complete a new hand seal, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"That Indian style is—"
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with shock as he instantly recognized the hand seals Naruto was forming, and his expression changed.
"Darkness Travel Technique!"
At that moment, Naruto gave a low shout and instantly completed the hand seals.
"boom!"
A powerful surge of chakra erupted like a flood, engulfing the entire rooftop.
Orochimaru felt the air around him suddenly tighten, and the light around him began to dim rapidly, as if an invisible force was devouring all the light.
The next second, the surrounding world was plunged into boundless darkness.
That darkness was not an ordinary shadow, but a completely enclosed world, as if a black silk cloth covered the heavens and the earth, into which no light could penetrate.
In this dark world, time seemed to stand still, and all around was silent.
Orochimaru's gaze quickly swept around. Although he was powerful, the sudden loss of his sight still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
No matter how powerful he is, at this moment he can only rely on other means of perception to sense the movements around him.
Darkness seemed to be everywhere around him, and the sense of oppression grew stronger.
"It's actually this extremely powerful illusion."
Orochimaru muttered to himself, his face darkening with surprise: "You've surprised me greatly, Naruto."
Even in the face of darkness, Orochimaru remained calm.
"Heh heh, Orochimaru, in this dark world you can't see me, but I can see you."
Naruto's voice came from all directions, as if traveling through the darkness.
At this moment, only he and his shadow clones could clearly see everything around them, while Orochimaru's vision was completely blocked, and he was trapped in a dark trap.
The effects of the Dark Walk spell were on full display at this moment.
This illusion is not just a simple way of blocking out light; it allows the caster to completely control the opponent's vision, depriving them of all sense of light.
Even a powerful figure like Orochimaru would be instantly put on the defensive if he lost sight of the enemy.
"This kind of ninjutsu is also a forbidden technique, and it also requires a certain talent for genjutsu."
Although Orochimaru couldn't see him, he could sense Naruto's movements in the darkness.
He couldn't help but lick his lips slightly: "Naruto, can you tell me how you learned it?"
Despite the current unfavorable situation, his interest in Naruto grew stronger.
"Moreover, such illusions are not enough to pose a threat to me."
Orochimaru chuckled coldly as Naruto remained silent.
