"Ha? You actually have the heart to say that I - such a simple, pitiful and weak child - is a monster?! Oh my God, this is so sad..."

With the ability to perceive negative emotions that he has as the Nine Lama Tsukiriki, he cannot detect a slight malice from Orochimaru's words and teasing. Naruto's words and actions become more casual and free. Then, he responded with a pity, raised his hand to cover his heart and looked injured.

"Simple? Poor? Weak... Are you serious about this?"

At the same time, Orochimaru, who had gradually adapted to Naruto's pretended tone and accepted, faced Naruto's pitiful appearance, this behavior that was supposed to match the child's tender appearance made Orochimaru feel goose bumps all over his body. Then, under Naruto's words, he recalled the amazing performance that was completely beyond the scope of a child during the previous battle with him. While the corners of his mouth twitched violently, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and complained in anger.

"What do you think are these words that can be linked to you, a little guy who can confront the shadow-level powerful guy head-on and not at all?"

It was also at this time that even Orochimaru himself could not notice that... Over the years, the cold expression that gradually formed indifferent to everything due to his own pathological pursuit of the taboo ninjutsu of immortality has melted completely. Even the process of dialogue and conversation has disappeared from the past, and the sarcastic tone seems much smoother.

Of course, if you insist on giving an accurate explanation or explanation to the reasons for this change... Then, in Orochimaru's view, the conversation with the little guy in front of him vaguely made Orochimaru's subconscious mind involuntarily develop the illusion that he was facing Jiraiya who was laughing all day long and never had a proper way. Then, as time passed by, the process of the conversation gradually changed from the tense atmosphere of initial calculations to the reunion of old friends, completely removing the layers of disguise and casual appearance.

"Of course! By age, I'm just a child. Shouldn't I be a pitiful and weak person?"

Unfortunately, Orochimaru's obvious jokes and jokes naturally did not pose any threat to Naruto, who had long been unconventional. So as soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Naruto put his hands on his hips and his face was not blushing or breathing, and he retorted with confidence. Then, from his own perception range, he vaguely noticed that Jiraiya and others were gathering together here without being fast or slow. Naruto gradually restrained his smiley expression on his face, and spoke again to change the topic.

"Speaking of this... you have made a real decision and don't stay for a few more days? It's rare that Konoha Sannin gathers together again. This is an excellent time to exchange feelings!"

Obviously, in the memory passed to the original body of the shadow clone, the third generation Naruto who knew the truth did not give him a time limit to return home. Orochimaru, who unexpectedly met, was so unexpectedly easy to talk and easy to get along with. Naruto, who tasted the sweetness, naturally would not easily miss this opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. In order to use the deep bond between Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Orochimaru, who was gradually shaking his mood, completely pulled back to the camp of Konoha Ninja Village!

However, Naruto's thoughts were indeed beautiful and full... It's a pity that the reality he faced was quite cruel and skinny.

"Stay for a few more days... It's better to avoid it. If you come out for too long, it will easily arouse the Akatsuki organization... or rather, it's extremely curious. At that time, it will be counterproductive."

I don’t know if Orochimaru couldn’t help but chatted with the two teammates he had chosen to give up. Or after learning the amazing truth from Naruto’s mouth, he actually planned the future development. So much so that as soon as Naruto finished speaking, he refused without hesitation. Then, he deliberately felt and noticed Jiraiya and others approaching. He simply turned around and joked and planned to leave.

"Besides, Jiraiya's idiot has been waiting for so many years and finally got Tsunade... At this moment, I guess they are just an idiot couple in love. I'd better go back early so as not to be a light bulb here and be blinded by them."

"Is the idiot in love?... This development is indeed quite possible."

When he knew clearly in his heart that Orochimaru's intention to leave was decided, Naruto did not intend to make any useless efforts to force him to keep him. It was because Orochimaru's words added in the second half of the sentence that Naruto couldn't help but nodded slightly with deep agreement after thinking about it... But even so, when he saw Orochimaru's gradually moving away, he still couldn't help but speak out and shouted again.

"But, you just left like this, is it really good? Anyway, Grandpa Jiraiya and the others are almost here... Are you not going to say hello to your companions first and then leave?"

"It's okay, this is not the first time I've done this... I'm saying hello or something, and I'll ask you to tell them for me, and it's already much better than the last time."

After hearing Naruto's shouting, Orochimaru's footsteps paused for a moment. Then when he returned to normal again, he remembered something on his face with his back to Naruto, and gradually a smile of expectation appeared.

"It's not that I won't see you in the future, so why are you doing so grandly?"

It is obvious that after this statement is expressed, it is equivalent to conveying to Naruto in another form... the scene of Konoha Sannin's gathering will never end there. He even picked up some treasure that he once abandoned and agreed to the word "companion" mentioned in Naruto's mouth.

Of course, perhaps it was because he realized the meaning of his words, which was too obvious and straightforward, and destroyed his cold image. Or maybe Jiraiya and others had not left much distance away from here. So much so that he was afraid of being intercepted by Jiraiya and unable to leave quietly. As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, his figure, who had been walking forward slowly, turned into a residual black shadow and disappeared from the spot.

"Isn't you going to see it in the future... It seems that the benefits of this journey are much richer than I thought..."

After watching Orochimaru's figure go away, Naruto murmured to himself while smiling. Then he paused for a while, taking advantage of Shizune and others that was still a distance away from him. Jiraiya and others would take a short time to reach his side. In a sense, Naruto was in an absolute freedom and alone. It made Naruto slowly close his eyes and try to sink his consciousness into his body.

"So, next...it's time to check carefully, what's going on..."

Accompanied by the low whispers and the concentration of consciousness and mind, the smile on the face gradually became driven by instinct when it was out of control, and all disappeared without a trace. Then it was replaced by a serious look that was as if facing a great enemy, both doubt and solemn!

Naruto's consciousness completely sank into the inside of his body. Driven by his familiarity, he quickly gathered in his lower abdomen, which was in the sealed space where the Nine Lama was. The Nine Lama, who should have been dozing lazily in this space, was now standing silent without any fatigue, and obviously had been waiting for a long time!

"Are you waiting for me... Do you also notice something is wrong? Nine Lama..."

At the same time, after realizing the gaze of Kyu Lama, Naruto completely lost his past, his smiley face. Then he no longer had the same appearance as before. Every time he met Kyu Lama, he would habitually tease him a few words and asked with a whisper.

"That's certainly? Idiot... If you can't even notice such a thing, can you still be considered a partner of living and dying?"

As if he was deliberately determining something, after looking up and down Naruto's figure, Kyu Lama responded angrily. But the next second, he frowned slightly and returned to his tone to his serious and worried look.

"It seems that we miscalculated this time... I didn't expect that the influence of that thing was no less than that of our tailed beasts... No, for you, it should be far more effective than the influence of the tailed beasts!"

As he responded verbally, Nine Lama's eyes were driven by instinctively and moved a little further. He looked at the corner of darkness that was tightly bound by layers of huge shackles in the huge sealed space.

Obviously, this made Naruto and Kyu Lama very afraid, so that as soon as Orochimaru left, Naruto's back foot was like an ant on a hot pan, and he didn't dare to appear here for a moment...

That is the strange energy body that Naruto accidentally discovered during the entrance exam!

You should know that in the previous plan, Naruto had already made a real decision to not have too much contact with Orochimaru. In order to avoid exposing his own details too much, it will further affect the timeline and fate of the entire Naruto world... Then, according to normal circumstances, Naruto, who has made up his mind, should not try his best to persuade Orochimaru like he did later, and make such a thankless act as he had imagined and speculated in advance! Even during the conversation with Orochimaru, he naturally seemed to really treat Orochimaru as a close friend who could absolutely trust, and almost told all the secrets he had hidden!

It is also because of this that if it weren't for the fact that Naruto ignored his kindness and openly took the "stupid" decision to "suspiciously wait for death" in his previous fight with Orochimaru, which caused him to be frightened and lost all sleepiness after being frightened, and from beginning to end, the Jiu Lama who was watching silently remained silent from the beginning to end. Finally, from the initial misunderstanding that this was just a routine operation of Naruto's daily negotiating body, he gradually noticed something was wrong. Then at the critical moment when Naruto almost told Orochimaru all his secrets, he suddenly made a reminder, and if Naruto temporarily stopped talking... then the development and consequences of the present day would probably not be as easy as it is now, right?

After that, as the arrogant tenant who was forced to seal Naruto's body since Naruto was born, the Nine Lama naturally knew Naruto's body well. Then, under the guidance of this ominous premonition from instinct, he just carefully investigated it back and forth, and under the familiar conjecture, he successfully found the layers of seals, which made Naruto's behavior so abnormal and against his will!

It is obvious that in the previous fight between Naruto and Orochimaru, because he had to do his best in the face of Orochimaru himself, Naruto not only released the shadow clone far away in Konoha Ninja Village in large quantities to ensure that his own body can have sufficient chakra. He also inadvertently relaxed the supply and maintenance of the chakra sealed by the strange energy body, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of it. Then in the process of quietly leaking, although the overflow amount is enough to be considered an invisible existence compared to the total number. However, it is still like a silent drizzle of moistening objects, just like an encounter in the entrance examination, silently affecting and changing Naruto's thinking and logic!

This is the real reason why Naruto did not choose to force himself to keep Orochimaru after he realized that his intention to leave was settled, and instead let him leave first - because Naruto could not guarantee that if he stayed for a while and did not deal with this unusual change in time, could he keep the remaining secrets and not disclose them to Orochimaru, or others? Even more serious, would his consciousness and body still belong to his original self!

"Ahhh, that's right... Although so far, in terms of results, most of the choices that have occurred have more advantages than disadvantages... But before understanding the source of this thing and the cause, it's better to be careful."

Thinking of this, Naruto, as the host and the person involved, naturally nodded slightly with deep understanding after hearing the words of Kyu Lama. Then he raised his hand and drove his chakra to inject all of his chakra into the seal, filling the short-lived loopholes and flaws again to prevent the continued leakage of the strange energy body. Then after the seal was consolidated, it seemed as if the mist that enveloped his heart had completely dispersed. Naruto's entire mind instantly woke up a lot. Then his brows relaxed a little, while concentrating and carefully sensing, when he was tightly bound by the seal, he returned to the peaceful strange energy body like a pool of stagnant water. He continued to add as if helplessly.

"Of course, no matter what, one thing is already confirmed..."

"This weird thing is probably not what appeared in my body during the entrance exam..."

"But from the moment I was born, I was born and part of myself..."
