Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 170: Sword and Court (First Update!)

The smile on Orochimaru's face faded a little.

What does "under the nose" mean?
"Is it really impossible?" He asked again, not giving up, "As long as the price is not too excessive, we can negotiate."

"Naruto-kun, aren't you interested in natural energy?"

“I have it here.”

Naruto shook his head, "We can discuss other things about this."

Orochimaru clicked his tongue.

He wasn't so desperate for his hands now, and he wanted to get them back just because he didn't want to have a mutilated body.

Research
Definitely not affected.

It’s the strength that has a huge impact.

Now Sasuke can no longer be controlled.

"How cruel, Naruto-kun." Orochimaru flicked his tongue, "Then let's discuss another matter."

"How about letting me participate in your research on Sasuke-kun?"

"I think I would be a good helper."

The pronunciation of the last two words is emphasized.

Although the request was made, he himself did not hold out much hope.

Based on Naruto's level of defense against himself.
Unexpectedly, the blond figure thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed happily. However, when he showed this expression, his whole aura became even more abnormal: "Naruto-kun actually agreed."

“Is it a difficult problem even for you?”

"I will help you well."

“In scientific research.”

Naruto smiled, "It is a somewhat difficult project, but not to the point where I can't proceed without your help."

"Orochimaru."

"This is an inspection."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

Inspection?

"Orochimaru, the reason why you can still stand in front of me as a human being after being killed by me once." Naruto continued, "is because of your scientific research ability. This is the most precious thing in you."

"but"

"If the process that follows does not prove that the most precious thing in you is more valuable than the other evil and crazy parts of you."

Naruto didn't continue.

Just look at him calmly.

These guys who are good at scientific research seem to be mentally unstable.

I have two worlds of my own, and I know a total of four people who are good at scientific research.

like
Only "Urahara Kisuke" looks normal.

"You seem to be planning something interesting." Orochimaru licked his lips with a gleam in his eyes, "Is this a ticket?"

Naruto didn't answer him.

Orochimaru laughed even more disgustingly.

But as the research began, Orochimaru soon couldn't laugh anymore.

Naruto was better at research than he thought.

Very strict and well-behaved.

In some aspects, he even looks more "professional" than himself.

Compare with him.

Instead, I feel like that guy who "changed career halfway".

This is actually not bad.

What tormented Orochimaru the most was the research conducted by Naruto, a field he had never delved into before.

Even though he had already gained some knowledge about "soul" from Naruto, he had also achieved some research results in the past few years.

But compared with what is going on now, it is far different.

Naruto is studying how to forge the chakra called "Indra" in Sasuke's body into a sword.

It's not a technique like the "Chakra Scalpel".

Instead, he was preparing to forge the "chakra" into a real sword.

That sounds ridiculous.

If the proposer was not Naruto, Orochimaru would never have participated in such research.

It took Orochimaru more than a month to catch up with the progress and gain some basic understanding of these things.

However, the forging of "Zanpakuto" was not very smooth.

When he was in Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi had already figured out something - all the "shallow attacks" were made up of the fusion of many souls.

"Many" is not a necessary condition. A single soul alone cannot support the quality of casting a "shallow strike".

Although the "Power of Indra" is strong.

but.
After all, it is just a mass of energy with only instinctive "consciousness".

Naruto and Orochimaru tried to take "Indra" out of Sasuke's body, but without harming Sasuke's life, they could only intercept some of it for research. Its origin was rooted in Sasuke's soul and could not be separated.

So the two of them had to find another way and try to merge other chakras into Sasuke's body.

While they were conducting their research.

The country of soup.

In a remote village.

"Bad news, Itachi is dead." Zetsu emerged from the ground and spoke to the Uchiha wearing a spiral mask, "But he was not killed by Uzumaki Naruto."

"He died at the hands of Uchiha Sasuke."

The masked Uchiha said solemnly, "Really?"

"He really made a wrong decision."

The only eye that was exposed was filled with anxiety and anger.

Originally, there were only three of them left in the organization.

Now we have lost another huge fighting force.

绝.
This guy Jue only has the ability to gather intelligence, which means that he is the only one left in terms of frontal combat power.

A lone tree standing alone? "Have you heard about the news of the Samsara Eye?" He raised his head and looked at Jue.

Jue said calmly: "Don't hold out for luck anymore."

"There's no way he'll leave those eyes with Xiaonan."

The masked Uchiha tilted his head back, "So what should we do now?"

"Without those eyes."

"But there is no way to revive Uchiha Madara."

Zetsu's emotions remained unmoved: "Let's lie dormant for a while. With Uzumaki Naruto around, it will be hard for us to do anything."

The masked Uchiha looked pained.

"During this period of time, let's recruit new people." Jue thought for a moment and made a suggestion, "There will always be people who can be of use to us."

The masked Uchiha said nothing more.

"You should find a chance to get your other eye back." Jue continued.

“Only one kaleidoscope”

"You will never be able to be a match for that guy Uzumaki Naruto."

The masked Uchiha nodded heavily.

The Country of Fields, the Sound Hidden Village.

After another three months of research, a standard sword lay on the experimental table.

"It was actually made." Orochimaru said in an incredible tone.

His eyes were fascinated.

The door to the "new world" opened to him.

During this period, he was baptized by knowledge that was independent of "Chakra" and even independent of "living beings".

Naruto ignored him and picked up the knife.

It's a "shallow hit".

Just as he had thought before, this kind of chakra with "consciousness" is indeed a good material for forging "Zanpakuto".

just
The amount required is somewhat too large.

In order to forge this sword, in addition to the "Power of Indra" that Sasuke already possessed in his body, he also used a large amount of chakra provided by Kakuzu, Hidan, and Orochimaru, and he was able to barely forge such a sword.

The most important thing is that because of the use of "Indra's power", this knife cannot be used by Karin.

It's almost bound to Sasuke.

Unless "Sasuke" is also considered as material for forging a sword.

Kyuubi agreed.

Naruto couldn't do such a cruel thing, and Karin also felt disgusted by it.

The "shallow strike" was successfully cast.

but.
It was somewhat different from what Naruto expected.

He had thought that it would be a "mature" Zanpakutō, like the "Kyuubi".

But perhaps because of the mixture of multiple powers, or perhaps because the "Power of Indra" only has "consciousness" and not a distinct and lively soul like the Nine-Tailed Fox, this sword is only a "shallow impact".

Naruto inspected it carefully before handing it to Sasuke.

"How does it feel?" Naruto asked after he tried a few swings.

"It feels better than the Kusanagi sword," Sasuke answered honestly, "It feels like a part of my body."

Naruto asked again: "Did you hear any sound?"

Sasuke was stunned.

"The feeling of something inside calling you to shout out a name." Naruto described it in detail.

Sasuke shook his head: "No."

"Really?" Naruto's expression did not become lost, and he continued, "You can usually practice a kind of training called 'Blade Zen'."

"With your qualifications, it shouldn't be long before you hear a name."

Sasuke nodded and gripped the knife tighter.

"Since you have obtained this sword, I have something else to tell you." Naruto looked serious.

Orochimaru tilted his head: "Do you need me to leave?"

"You should listen too." Naruto looked at him, "You performed very well and proved your worth."

"You are excellent in scientific research."

Orochimaru grinned, tongue twitching, "Are you complimenting me, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto ignored him and said to Sasuke, "I originally wanted to give this sword to Karin."

"But Indra is too deeply bound to you. With it as its material, this knife is inseparable from you."

"So."

"Sasuke, become a member of the organization I'm going to form."

Orochimaru was not surprised, he had already expected this.

"What organization?" Sasuke asked, "What's the purpose?"

"It's called 'Seireitei'." Naruto didn't bother to come up with a new name, so he just used the one he had, "An organization that maintains order after the dead."

This made both of them stunned.

What does it mean to maintain “order after death”?
"I am not too interested in the affairs of the living." Naruto thought for a moment before explaining a little more clearly, "You all participated in the research. You know that the power I wield is related to souls."

"The Ninja World Today"

“Although there is a pure land, there is no order after death.”

Sasuke frowned in thought.

Orochimaru turned his head away and said in a disgusted tone: "My goal is eternal life."

"Death is not the answer I long for."

Naruto shook his head and retorted: "Death is just the beginning of another journey of life."

Orochimaru wanted to say something else.

Naruto held out his hand: "We have been together for such a long time, Orochimaru, haven't you noticed the changes in me?"

"A change that is completely different from the so-called 'living person'."

Orochimaru looked over there, and after a while, his pupils dilated.
