Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 283 Sasuke IF Line (5) Orochimaru and the Transformation (7k)

The Joint Chunin Exam is Konoha's top priority right now.

This is an "invisible war" and a confrontation between countries.

Not only on the face
It will also determine the distribution of some actual benefits.

Although in the eyes of the nobles, this was just a fight about face.

Konoha assigned two Genin teammates to Sasuke - although Konoha did intend to use Sasuke to show a warning to other ninja villages, especially the Sand Village, this did not mean that they had to resort to some shameful collusion and let some guys who were already Chunin and Jonin disguise themselves as Genin to participate in the competition.

If this gets discovered, won't it lead to gossip?

As for Sasuke
He has only graduated from the Ninja School for two months. Although he has the strength of a Jonin, his ninja rank is only "Genin", which is a very reasonable thing.

However, this test was Sasuke's first Chunin test after graduation.

Always follow the promotion process.

We just happened to collide.

The initial test is easy.

Everything was over after Sasuke realized that this was just a test of "intelligence gathering ability". Sharingan has an unparalleled advantage in this regard. Although the two teammates were average in ability, they successfully advanced with the help of Sasuke.

The re-examination is carried out without stopping.

In the Death Forest, groups compete. Each group gets one of the scrolls of "Heaven" or "Earth", and the other corresponding scroll from the other group. The group that collects both scrolls and reaches the central tower will pass the second round.

This is a rigorous assessment with an elimination rate of over 50 percent.

Enter the forest.

"Uchiha-kun, what should we do?" The two teammates had no idea and asked.

Sasuke looked at them and said, "I want to act alone."

"You don't have to collect scrolls. If you're lucky enough to make it to the central tower, you can enter the next round."

One person wanted to call out to Sasuke.

They realized that this year's Chunin Exam was a little unusual, and many powerful people appeared. They only clung to Sasuke's thighs and were lucky enough to enter the second round of the exam. The Death Forest was extremely dangerous. Without Sasuke,
But their words have not yet been spoken.

Sasuke disappeared in an instant, vanishing among the leaves.

He needs to find a suitable mission target to complete the second round of assessment.

"Gaara" from the Sand Village is a good choice. He showed his strong murderous intent towards me when they first met. Although he is very strong, his courage is still lacking in front of me.

But unfortunately
He was not a suitable target.

It would be a waste of his status if such a powerful enemy were to be killed in such a quiet and desolate forest.

That's what Sasuke thought.

In fact, before taking the test, the Third Hokage had repeatedly reminded him that if he met Gaara from the Sand Village in the test, he should not be eliminated unless it was necessary.

the reason is simple.

The Kingdom of Wind is another big country in this joint exam. Konoha needs to defeat a powerful opponent in front of all the nobles in order to demonstrate its strength and gain more funds.

Small countries don’t carry enough weight.

Isn't it natural and reasonable for a small country to lose to Konoha?
We need to find a strong country among those small countries.

The best goal -

None other than the Grass Country Ninja who dared to threaten the examiner before the test even began.

Small countries should continue to be small countries and not think about trying to attract attention or competing for resources from big countries.

Sasuke thought so and suddenly stopped.

He tilted his head and looked to the left.

A person appeared there silently. It was the Kusagakure ninja that he had just thought of.

There is only one, no teammates.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I'm here to find you." The long-haired young Kusanagi held up a scroll in his hand, "I think the target you want to hunt is me."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

I don't think I ever said that.

"I can tell." The young Kusanagi tossed and played with the scroll. "You're very mature, Sasuke-kun. You didn't reveal any of your intentions."

"But in my eyes, it's all clear."

As he said this, he suddenly stopped and said, "Then."

"The battle for the scroll begins."

He raised his hand and swallowed the entire scroll in his hand from beginning to end in a disgusting and hideous manner.

Just like a snake.

Sasuke's expression was calm, thoughts flowing through his mind.

This person is bluffing!

He definitely doesn't have a complete view of himself as he says.

The fact that he could shout out his own name proved that he had a clear goal, and his target was himself.

At that time, I just hid my emotions and didn't express my goals too clearly.

He wouldn't have noticed if the guy wasn't paying attention to himself.

So it can only be
Even though he attacked the invigilator at that time, he was still keeping a close eye on himself.

Just like myself.

No, even earlier than himself, from the very beginning, when the Chunin examination started, or even before it started, he had set his target on himself.

At the moment the scroll was swallowed.

The shuriken suddenly appeared, flew towards Sasuke.

It's an illusion.

Under the Sharingan, this crude technique has no effect.

But it still made Sasuke's face darken slightly.

The "shuriken" is fake, but the murderous aura that seems to be real is real.

How horrible.
What kind of experiences and how many people must have been killed to hone this level of murderous intent? Even in the second division's maggot nest, those guys who were dubbed as "threats to the Seireitei" could hardly accumulate to this level.

"Not affected?" The young Grass Ninja grinned cruelly, "As expected of an Uchiha."

"Even a little guy like you"

"Have you grown to the point where you can see through the illusions of someone like me?"

In response to him, there was a cold light.

The knife light was bright, drawing an arc of the moon in the sky.

Gorgeous, but full of dangers.

Cut it——

But Sasuke turned his head without hesitation.

The young Kusanagi ninja behind him was split into two and collapsed into a pile of mud in an instant.

It's a soil substitute.

Place the tail of the knife with your left hand and stab downward.

Those hiding beneath the soil had to react.

The mud flew upside down and hit Sasuke.

He had foreseen it.

A sharp white aurora burst out from the fingertips of his left hand.

Abandon chanting.

"The fourth way to break the path is white thunder."

It was predicted long ago, piercing through the earth wall and rushing towards the center.

After this guy used his earth stand and hid underground, Sasuke guessed that he would definitely use "earth escape" to counterattack again. It was not only a matter of habit, but also because his resources were at that level and he could only use "earth escape".

but
Not only Sasuke had foreseen this, but also the young Kusanagi.

White thunder exploded the earth.

But the person behind him was squatting, and the white light was much higher than his head - if he was standing, this beam of light would hit his heart, and if he was half-squatting, this beam of light would hit his brain, but he just squatted down completely.

Right between the flying clods of earth.

The man held out his hand, and the black-striped shadow whipped.

It's a snake!

"The Lurking Snake Hand".

Big snakes attack, small snakes sneak attack, long snakes entangle, and short snakes pull.

Woo woo what are you doing?

This is a secret technique that is completely different from traditional ninjutsu.

Sasuke remained calm and drew his sword.

The snake's head broke off with a crackling sound, as if it was raining.

However, this technique itself contains the component of "substitute death", and the snake heads cut off by Sasuke did not cause the technique to collapse.

A snake wrapped around him.

Then the second and third
"Sasuke-kun is amazing." The young Kusanagi seemed to be very confident in his technique. After seeing Sasuke being tied up, he stood up and walked out. "If it weren't for me, someone else, even a jonin, would have been killed by you."

"But unfortunately, the experience is still a little lacking."

He sneered, looking even more ferocious and perverted: "Don't always think that your opponent is inexperienced or stupid. It's hard for a strong person to have a stupid mind."

"Your intentions are too obvious."

Sasuke's expression remained unchanged: "You are not a Kusagakure ninja, who are you?"

"Oh?" The young Kusanagi raised his hand and pulled the forehead protector on his head, "Why do you say that?"

“I have this thing with me.”

Sasuke continued: "Your real goal is not the scroll, but the Sharingan."

The young Kusanagi narrowed his eyes.

"This is a test for groups." Sasuke looked at him and said calmly, "Generally speaking, three people act together. Gaara from the Wind Country did the same. It's even more impossible for a small country to break it."

“But you still act alone.”

"Of course, this can be explained by the fact that you are very powerful and confident in your own strength, and think you can deal with me alone."

"But you can call out my name, and your understanding of me is not limited to what you learned during the Chunin Exams."

He paused, and said firmly, "So you disguised yourself as a Kusanagi to sneak into this exam, and your target was me. You could only be here for the Sharingan."

The young Kusanagi clapped his hands, "What an excellent judgement."

"I'm definitely not a Kusagakure."

"Sasuke-kun is now a member of the Konoha Anbu, so he should have heard of my name."

He stretched out his voice and kept it a secret: "Orochimaru."

Sasuke's expression changed slightly.

Although he had only been in the Anbu for two months, he was familiar with the name.

Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, was once the most likely to become the Fourth Hokage. However, due to his evil and forbidden experiments, he was sentenced to exile from the village and became an "S"-rank traitor.

He is one of the most powerful people in this world.

"But what's the use of these?" Orochimaru walked closer and looked at Sasuke as if he was admiring some extraordinary work of art. "You have been caught by me, Sasuke-kun."

He opened his mouth, as a snake does before feeding.

"Why are you interested in the Sharingan?" Sasuke suddenly asked, his tone still calm, "You are one of the few who can become a top powerhouse even without a bloodline limit."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for an unmatched Sharingan to be effective on you."

Orochimaru sneered, "Mismatched?"

"I certainly wouldn't do anything as stupid as that."

"But it seems that even you, who bear the Uchiha bloodline, do not know the true power of the Sharingan."

He paused and smiled sinisterly, "I think you will be happy to know this news, Sasuke-kun."

"I fought Itachi before."

"The charm of the Sharingan conquered me at that moment."

Sasuke's expression finally changed.

He stared at Orochimaru, with a huge tear in his heart.

at last
Including the years in Soul Society, nearly forty years have passed, and I finally heard news about that man again.

"Where is he?" Sasuke asked solemnly.

Orochimaru sneered, "You want revenge, huh?"

"Sasuke-kun's current strength is not enough."

"Itachi is a very powerful man."

He said, opening his mouth once more and slowly leaning his head towards Sasuke's neck.

"Let me first give you something that will make you..."

Open your mouth wide and your speech is not so clear.

And Sasuke didn't give him much chance to speak.

Lightning flashed.

"The eleventh of the broken path, with thunder and lightning."

The golden light surged, the heat, the frenzy, the electric charge, almost instantly dispersed the group of snakes bound to him. Orochimaru's pupils shrank, and he reacted quickly, retreating backwards.

No wonder Sasuke's attitude just now was so confident.

I thought he was expecting reinforcements from Konoha.
He even laughed in his heart, thinking that as long as he didn't want Konoha to find out, Konoha would never discover his whereabouts.

But now it seems.
What do you mean by delaying time? It's obviously just a trap.

Of course, the news I told him was also what I wanted to tell him.

As he was thinking, the blade slashed down.

Orochimaru opened his mouth and a knife rolled out of his tongue, which collided with his Zanpakuto. Sparks of fire flew out, but both swords were safe and sound.

Sasuke was surprised.

That tongue
He has become extremely strong due to exercise.

He used his own strength to strike against it, but failed to get the knife out of the stone.

Orochimaru was even more surprised.

The sword in his hand is the divine weapon "Kusagi Sword". If an ordinary weapon collides with it, it will definitely be damaged. If there is only a gap and no break, it can be considered a famous weapon.

The one in Sasuke's hand was intact.

A knife that is no less than a "divine weapon"?

It's Uchiha
However, with Konoha's hands and feet, they actually kept such a good thing in Sasuke's hands.

The two of them had a mess of thoughts in their minds.

The battle continues.

"Where is Uchiha Itachi?"

"How did you get to know him?"

Sasuke demanded, each strike of his sword fierce and ferocious.

Orochimaru remained silent, not wanting to talk about it any further.

He kept trying to take a bite of Sasuke.

Its neck was like a spring, able to stretch and shrink, lengthen or shorten. However, even though its body was like that of a rubber man, it still couldn't find a chance to bite Sasuke.

"This is terrible." Orochimaru raised his head and glanced at the sky. "If we keep dragging on like this, those people will be here soon."

Sasuke swung the knife in his hand with a little more force.

This was the only man he had met so far who was related to Uchiha Itachi.

It is also the only channel to obtain information related to Uchiha Itachi.

But Orochimaru had no regrets at all.

"It's a pity that my gift didn't reach Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru grinned and waved his hand. "I obviously didn't have any hostility. I just wanted to test whether Sasuke-kun was qualified to receive my gift, but it ended up like this."

"Sasuke-kun you are better than I could ever imagine."

"If you want to gain more power."

"I still want to obtain information related to Uchiha Itachi."

"Anyone can come to me."

Sasuke gave chase.

But in the blink of an eye, Orochimaru disappeared, leaving only his earth clones that gradually turned into mud.

He stood there, looking at the remnants of the ritual, lost in thought.

That guy was just as he said, as if he was here to observe him. When they fought, he could see that he was very restrained and did not display much of his strength.

only.
why?
From the conversation with him just now, I could tell that his purpose was indeed the Sharingan, but he didn't want to gouge out his own eyes and insert them into his eyes.

It has a stronger meaning of recruiting oneself.

Orochimaru?

He stared at the direction where Orochimaru disappeared, and his ears moved. He heard the rustling sound of Anbu in the distance. He left without leaving anything behind.

No matter what Orochimaru's purpose is.

For me, the most important thing now is to pass the second assessment first. It will not be too late to make more specific and detailed plans after passing it.

After casually dealing with a few teams of non-Konoha ninjas, snatching their scrolls and pairing them with his own, he headed straight for the central tower.

Sasuke had no problem.

His two teammates stumbled and almost stuck on the timeline. They finally entered the tower in the last hour of the fifth day and luckily managed to get a spot.

Before the third assessment, there is a "qualifying round", and the candidates for the final are limited - the nobles are not that patient, they just watch the performance of each Genin and pick out a few representative ones.

Sasuke's opponent is a member of the Sound Ninja.

For some reason, this person had a great hostility towards Sasuke. Before the fight even started, he threatened to kill Sasuke with his own hands. Of course, he ended up being defeated by Sasuke in one move.

The moment the examiner said "start".

The game ends synchronously.

The third assessment will be in a month.

During this period, Sasuke has not had it easy either. He has been appointed as the acting team leader - although everyone knows that this so-called "acting" position is only because Sasuke is still young, has been in office for a short time, and his mission record is not as impressive as those of the old ones. When the time is right, this acting position will be removed.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the "agent" will not change, but the position behind the "agent" will change, such as removing a "sub-point" or something.

The day's action is over.

Sasuke lay on the bed tiredly and closed his eyes.

Wait until you open it again.

The world has changed without us noticing.

He returned to Soul Society and to the Second Division's barracks.

The days in the criminal army were no different from the days in the Anbu. It was still missions, missions, and more missions.

On the day Urahara Kisuke became the captain, he went to celebrate with them.

After celebrating, Sasuke continued to practice without stopping.

What happened in the second test gave him some shock.

Orochimaru himself admitted that he was not as good as Uchiha Itachi, and in the process of fighting with Orochimaru, he found that he and Orochimaru were no better than each other. He had not yet used the power of "Shikai", but Orochimaru had not shown his true ability either.

The unit of measurement is "Orochimaru".

A fact is before our eyes.

He is still weaker than Uchiha Itachi.

This is not okay.

How can you avenge the Uchiha clan with such weak strength?

Sasuke's diligence made Yoruichi a little unbearable. Although she had great ambitions in her heart, she was a lazy person. She could be diligent for a while, but not all the time.

But Sasuke's reasons made sense, and she couldn't refuse yet.

In addition, Urahara Kisuke withdrew from the Second Division and went to the Twelfth Division, so she was the only one who had to bear this heavy task.

Until a few years later.

Things started to become abnormal in Rukongai, with some inexplicable soul disappearances occurring.

After confirming that the incident occurred in an area he had never been to, Sasuke didn't take it too seriously. The Second Division didn't need to investigate such matters. The Second Division was responsible for internal affairs, and such matters would be handled by others.

But one night.

The second division team building.

Shihouin Yoruichi called Sasuke over. Her expression was serious, which was very different from her usual lazy appearance.

Sasuke was stunned.

This kind of expression was only seen when Yoruichi recruited me into the team and told me about her ambitions.

This is the second time.

"Something big has happened." Yoruichi took a deep breath, "I just received an order from the Central 46th Office, asking the Second Division to take action and arrest the captain of the 12th Division, Urahara Kisuke."

"besides."

"Captain of the Fifth Division, Mako Hirako, Captain of the Third Division, Captain of the Seventh Division"

She rattled off a string of names.

There is a captain and a vice-captain, and it is almost as powerful as the Seireitei.

"They." Sasuke frowned, "What's the reason?"

Ye Yi spread his hands: "Etherealization."

"And persecute the captain-level shinigami and make them become hollow."

She paused and scratched her head. "This is very complicated to explain. I am also confused, but..."

Sasuke took over the conversation: "Urahara doesn't seem like someone who would do something like that."

"Of course not." Ye Yi said seriously, "It's just that this signal is very bad."

"When it is still unclear whether Urahara did this, and when several captains have confirmed that they are all victims, the 46th Chamber still asks the criminal army to take action. It can almost be said that this is it."

"Convict a few of them."

She scratched her head in pain. "In the past, those old guys were always very slow, but how come they were so fast this time? They had already discussed the result before the Second Division even had time to get the information."

Sasuke's expression changed and he kept these words in mind.

"I'm afraid the end of Urahara and the others won't be good." Yoruichi sighed, "If the punishment is too severe."

She clenched her fists, looking helpless: "I can only be forced to do something beneficial."

Sasuke wondered.

Something beneficial?

"I am the head of the Shihouin family and one of the five great nobles. Even if I kidnap Urahara and the others, I will not be charged with too serious a crime, and the Forty-Sixth Chamber cannot really do anything to me." Yoruichi held up his head and continued.

"And precisely because of this, the head of the Shihouin family made a big mistake. Therefore, the captain of the second squad should not be taken over by someone from the Shihouin family before this mistake is resolved."

"That is to say."

"As long as I make this mistake, I will find an opportunity to make someone who is not from the Shifengyuan family, or even a noble, become the captain."

She turned her head and stared directly at Sasuke.

Sasuke shook his head: "I haven't mastered Bankai yet."

"Bankai is just evidence of one's captain-level strength." Shifengyuan Yoruichi shook his head, "The standard for becoming a captain is to have the corresponding strength."

"but."

"This is indeed a big problem."

The gap between Sasuke and the captain isn't that big now.

If this had not happened, in five, seven years, or maybe ten years at most, he would have been able to cross the threshold that many captains have crossed after mastering Bankai - when using Shikai, he would also be able to possess captain-level combat power.

But the problem is that there is no five, seven or ten years left.

Just under two hours.

No matter how slow the criminal army was, they should have set out at that point after receiving the order from the Central Office 46.

Shifengyuan Yoruichi thought of something and sighed again: "In fact, Urahara has a tool called the Godly Body Transformation. Neither he nor I dared to mention it to you before."

Sasuke frowned.

Don’t dare to mention it to yourself?
why is that.

"That item has only one ability, which is to give the user the chance to master Bankai within three days." Yoruichi said softly.

Sasuke's eyes widened and he took a step forward, his eyes full of desire.

"This is why we dare not tell you." Ye Yi was very calm and waved his hand, "Because if you knew, you would definitely choose to use it."

"But that thing has a fatal flaw. If you don't master Bankai within those three days, then you will never be able to master Bankai for the rest of your life."

Sasuke was stunned, thinking: "Captain, you could have more confidence in me. If it was before today, I would not have asked to use this item if I knew about it."

Ye Yi clicked his tongue and shook his head.

She didn't believe it.

The Third Officer of the Second Division and the Deputy Commander of the Criminal Army is a guy who is extremely eager for strength. This is already a recognized knowledge within the Second Division and even in the circle of senior officers.

Like this person
How could I not want to use the "Transformation of Divine Body"?

But before this, Sasuke's desire was not that strong.

No matter how long he stayed in Soul Society, time would not change after he returned to Konoha. He kept honing himself in Soul Society to become stronger. But things like Bankai would only come with time. After all, it was only a moment in Konoha, so there was no need to gamble on that opportunity.

This must be done now.

For the resources after becoming the captain, and for the resources promised by Shifengyuan Yoruichi.
"Then let's go." Yoruichi stood up, "Arrest Urahara Kisuke and others."

"If I could, I really hope that I could keep you from using that kind of stuff, as we both want to do."

“If there is no hope.”

"Remember to go to a place, under the execution platform."

"Urahara and I once built a secret base there. Although it is now abandoned, it is the most suitable choice for hiding."

Sasuke nodded.

As the deputy head of the group, he also had to go out with the group.

Urahara Kisuke was well-behaved and did not resist. He was taken away by the criminal army along with the captains and vice-captains who had been turned into hollows.

That night.

A piece of news that almost overturned the entire Soul Society came out. Shihouin Yoruichi betrayed the Soul Society and kidnapped the prisoner Urahara Kisuke and those captains who had been hollowed out.

The third seat, Uchiha Sasuke, was acting as the captain of the second division at this time.
