"Is Naruto Uzumaki? It's really an interesting little devil. If I meet that idiot, I'll probably become a master and apprentice... Speaking of which, the only idiot in the world will keep chasing me, this rebellious sect, running around the world, right? Even the teacher would rather believe that the immortal thing is making up and not listening to my explanation..."

Looking at the little guy in front of me who was obviously unable to protect himself but never for giving priority to protecting his partner, for some reason, Orochimaru vaguely saw from Naruto the figure of a white crane who had been persistently searching for and trying to convince him to return to the village. His expression was slightly dazed and stunned, but a gentle smile that was obviously inconsistent with his own feminine temperament flashed involuntarily. After pausing a little, he buried the smile in his eyes and returned to his original cold expression while carrying his hands behind him. While the hoarse and low voice sounded again, he secretly made up his mind to try to avoid hurting this interesting little head and take it back to his base. When he had the chance, he would throw it to the idiot who was chasing him as an apprentice to serve as a favor.

Hum? Speaking of which, that guy seems to have not been bothering himself for a whole year... Finally, it is time to even believe this fool with a stubborn mind. Is it time to give up on himself?

"It's a good momentum, little dear...but you seem to have forgotten something?"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and suppressed the complex and strange thoughts in his heart. After a little pause, Orochimaru spoke again and teased Naruto with a sarcastic look.

"Did I read it wrong? Orochimaru just... laughed? How could this be... Could it be that this guy ran back to the village on a whim, and he wasn't here to cause trouble for me at all?"

After saying the declaration of war in person, Naruto stared at Orochimaru who was not concerned about the lazy and leisurely. It was precisely because of the experience of insights from the special experiences of three years that Naruto keenly noticed the abnormal changes in Orochimaru's mentality. But before he could figure out whether there was any conspiracy and tricks, Orochimaru's smile disappeared again. The huge gap in the fleeting moment made Naruto secretly wonder if he had made a mistake in his judgment or had hallucinations. At the same time, he subconsciously responded with Orochimaru's words half-believing and half-doubting.

"Forgot something...what? What does this mean?"

"Oh, isn't this obvious? You should be very clear in your heart that you have no hope of defeating me at all, not to mention that you have to be distracted from taking care of your partner who has been frightened and lost his will to fight..."

While speaking, Orochimaru turned his head a little and turned his eyes to Sasuke, who was curled up behind Naruto and panicked so much that he only dared to reveal his small head to observe the situation. Although he always instinctively felt something was wrong, he still shook his head and sneered because of the obvious difference between Naruto and Sasuke, which was completely opposite to the courage and timidity.

"In this case, how long do you think you can hold on with me? One move or two moves?"

Orochimaru had no intention of taking action in front of him, and he seemed to be patient in his words as if he wanted Naruto to give up resisting surrender. He not only asked Naruto's name with interest, but also pointed out directly and without hesitation to remind Naruto of the biggest disadvantage he faced in the current situation... This abnormal appearance is completely different from the decisive image of Orochimaru during the Chunin exam in the original comics. While Naruto's heart was filled with a strong sense of incongruity, the sense of crisis in his heart not only did not weaken, but he became more and more suspicious of whether the person in front of him had ulterior motives and became more vigilant and alert.

"It would be that because of the changes in history, Orochimaru has become a good person... No, no, no, what am I thinking? The strong smell of blood on my body is obviously that I killed a lot of people with my own hands just now. Now, it is probably because I just happened to be in a good mood and would say a few more words to me, just wanting to have some fun and just teasing me. If I have time to think about it here, I should think more about how to deal with this guy."

He shook his head and threw away the strange thoughts that had risen inexplicably in his heart. He took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart. While Naruto pretended to be calm and responded to Orochimaru's words, he raised his hands, stretched out his middle fingers and crossed them in front of him into a cross. The corners of his mouth slightly raised and continued to speak word by word.

"You are right, Lord Orochimaru... But if you don't try this kind of thing, how can you know if it's OK?"

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, accompanied by light sounds and delicate white mist that appeared out of thin air, hundreds of "Naruto" appeared one after another. While his expressions were similar and it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity, he even formed a thick wall of humans to cover Sasuke's figure tightly!

"Multiple Shadow Clones? This... How is this possible? He is obviously a little guy who is not even a Shinin, but he can actually perform this advanced ninjutsu?"

For Orochimaru, who was obsessed with ninjutsu research, it was clear what the simple handprints that the little guy in front of him meant... However, Naruto's appearance was too fraudulent and he could never have imagined that Naruto could use his shadow clone so skillfully and relaxed, allowing Naruto to use this trick with all his strength without any obstacles, which surprised Orochimaru, who originally thought that Naruto could only be divided into one or two crappy clones and did not stop him, but he became more and more interested in this little guy who kept bringing surprises to him.

"Naruto Uzumaki, Uzumaki... Little guy, can you be the descendant of the Uzumaki clan who has long been exterminated?"

"Hehe, I just realized something was wrong now, it was too late! I am a descendant of the orthodox bloodline of the Uzumaki clan! If I only compare the chakra amount, even adults may not be more than me! Now is the time for the big reversal - the Uzumaki Naruto Legion to assemble!"

After seeing Orochimaru's look in amazement, Naruto stood in a dense array of scrubbing hands and seemed quite proud. He shouted in unison while putting his hands on his hips.

"Hmph~ How about it? Now I know that Naruto Uzumaki is so powerful? I now have an absolute advantage in the number of people! If I don't want to be beaten into a pig's head, I'd better make the way out quickly and don't bother us to go home!"

"...So that's it. This is the trump card you dare to challenge me, right? Little guy."

His eyes kept scanning the black and sarcastic little heads in front of him, looking roughly, and after a while, Orochimaru's mouth slightly raised, and he showed a long-lost teasing and joking smile from his heart. Before Naruto could react, Orochimaru's hands turned into black afterimages that flashed past. When they were condensed in sight again, they had already crossed in front of him into the cross seal needed for the moving shadow clone.

"But you just said, you have a lot of people, are you?"

As Orochimaru teased and teased, the same sound and white mist appeared one after another around Orochimaru. The number of "Orochimaru" was easily equalized in a few breaths. Not only did the "Naruto", but it maintained a continuous growth rate as if it was deliberately stimulating Naruto, but did not stop there. In the end, a thick encirclement circle formed to tightly encircle the "Naruto" firmly in the center, teasing and joking in unison.

"Little guy... I'm reserved about this."

"I... fuck! I just want to pretend to be able to do it, as for the slap in the face so quickly!"

The situation in the blink of an eye made Naruto, who was originally proud, petrified and turned to the spot. Looking at Orochimaru, who was so ruthless in front of him that he didn't even give him a swearing for a while, as if he heard a loud slap in the face, Naruto's heart was filled with a sense of frustration that was about to cry without tears.

"How old is you, and you are still fighting for the win or loss with me, a fragile child... As one of the three ninjas, you bully the child, Orochimaru, are you shameless?!"
