Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

He looked at me, narrowed his eyes, and didn't answer.

From Orochimaru's perspective, anyone would probably find it confusing if a strange kid suddenly asked such a nonsensical question.

But now that we’ve met…!

This is a rare opportunity, so I still want to ask clearly whether the meaning of "morning dew" is special to him.

In addition to warnings and cautions...

Is there any good wish in this?

Although I know the possibility of getting the answer I want is very slim, or even impossible, I always feel a little bit of luck and unwillingness because I haven't heard his answer in person.

But Orochimaru is not the kind of gentle person who would answer obediently when someone asks him a question.

So what responded to me was a giant snake hanging from mid-air.

Its huge body was hooked onto the trees, blocking the sunlight and casting a huge shadow, making the place where we were visibly darker.

The giant snake that covered the sky and the sun opened its mouth and bit towards Sasuke. Its thick body seemed clumsy, but in fact it rushed towards me at an incredible speed. The snake's tail swung towards Naruto with a whistling sound.

It was obviously the first time for Sasuke and Naruto to see such a big animal, and there was a look of surprise on their faces.

I quickly ran towards Naruto, ready to protect him.

Although it would be as easy for Orochimaru to kill Sasuke now as crushing an ant, based on my understanding of him, he probably has no intention of taking Sasuke's life now.

But with Naruto's current skills, even if Orochimaru is not targeting him specifically, I am worried that he might accidentally kill Naruto.

Seeing Sasuke being isolated by a person in the distance, Naruto was anxious to rush over, but I stopped him behind me: "Naruto, don't be impulsive!"

"Sasuke might be in danger!!"

"But if you go over there--" I grabbed Naruto's arm, looked straight into his eyes, lowered my voice and said hurriedly: "We are no match for him, go ask Shino for help!"

I held his hand tightly and quietly hid the parasite in his palm.

"It will lead you to Shino...Naruto! It will be more useful than just charging at him!!"

I just wanted him to escape to a safe place, but even if Shino and the others came, they would be no match for one of the three ninjas. So even though I told Naruto to go for help, this parasitic bug would tell Shino to take Naruto and never get close.

When the snake and Sasuke were chasing and fighting, Orochimaru stood on a high place with his arms folded, looking at us, and smiled faintly: "Why, are you abandoning your companions and running for your life like a stray dog?"

Naruto glared at him angrily, and I quickly pushed him towards where Shino was: "Naruto...! Believe me! Sasuke and I... will definitely hold on until you come back!"

Naruto finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I'll be back soon!!"

He turned and left in the direction the parasite flew. I finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to face Orochimaru.

"Hehe... little devil, you are very brave."

He suddenly released a strong murderous aura, which affected Sasuke on the other side. He froze in mid-air, then fell from the tree trunk, collapsed to the ground, and trembled all over.

However, before he fell, he had already pierced the giant snake's head with kunai like rain. At this moment, the giant snake was rolling in pain and was about to hit Sasuke. I didn't care about Orochimaru, and hurried over, picked up Sasuke and dodged.

"You...you..." Sasuke fell into my arms, his face pale, and he asked in a trembling voice: "...Aren't you afraid...?"

I held him in my arms and kissed his cheek.

The book says that physical contact is the way parents comfort frightened and scared children. I hope Sasuke can calm down soon.

"Don't be afraid, Sasuke," I sincerely comforted him, "He can only bully us because we are older than us because we are still young. Later, you can hang him up and beat him!"

It's not that Orochimaru's strong murderous aura has no effect on me, but I'm too familiar with him.

He is my "family".

No matter how terrifying his aura is... I won't be so scared that I can't move.

I even think that just because Orochimaru provoked Sasuke like this when he was young, it is not unreasonable that Uchiha Sasuke chased and beat him later.

Sasuke bit his cheek hard and finally came to his senses.

"Who on earth is that guy?"

Orochimaru also looks different from the future, but even if he doesn't look the same, I shouldn't be able to recognize him now, so I can only say: "...Anyway, he looks dangerous."

Sasuke whispered, "…We can't beat him."

He has always been arrogant, but now he can actually say such words. You can imagine how shocked he is by Orochimaru.

He looked at me and said, "Since he is a candidate, all he wants is the scroll..."

But I know that Orochimaru definitely wouldn't come here for the scroll.

I objected, "He is so much stronger than us, it would be easy for him to defeat us and take the scroll. If we voluntarily hand it over, will he be willing to leave?"

Sasuke pursed his lips.

I wonder if Sasuke was also in such a mess when he first met Orochimaru in the original history. How did he get through this difficult time?

"Are you scared?"

"..."

Looking at the fear, unwillingness, anger and pain on his face, I don't know whether I should just let it go or fight back at this moment.

If in the original history, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura fought desperately together to repel Orochimaru, Sasuke would be in danger if I didn't interfere.

"Don't be afraid," I gently squeezed his hand, "I'm here."

He was slightly startled.

I stood up and stood in front of Sasuke, looking at Orochimaru, realizing that he had been listening to our conversation and probably observing our behavior.

From these details, he will definitely be able to obtain a lot of information that we have never revealed voluntarily.

"You got a little girlfriend, Uchiha Sasuke?" Orochimaru mocked, "Have you forgotten what Uchiha Itachi did... Have you forgotten your hatred?"

"Stop calling me Uchiha Uchiha all the time!"

Even though he was chased away by the Uchiha like a stray dog...! His mind is still full of Uchiha!

I'm right next to it, is it air?!

Kirigakure no Jutsu!

A thick fog suddenly spread among the woods, but it had little effect on the senses of snakes. However, as long as it could block Orochimaru's sight, even for a moment, it would be helpful.

I threw countless kunai with explosive tags into the fog, but the fog also blocked my vision.

A black shadow rushed out of the fog. I grabbed the kunai tightly and saw that it was another giant snake with its bloody mouth opened and rushed towards me.

It was like a scene from a horror movie, and the sudden sight of an overly huge creature would subconsciously freeze people in place, unable to move.

Fortunately... Brother Dou looks a lot like a snake. After getting used to his appearance, snakes no longer scare me anymore.

I thrust the kunai into the snake's mouth fiercely. It rolled back into the fog in severe pain. The detonating talisman was ignited fiercely, causing wave after wave of roars.

"Sasuke!"

I called out to him, and he finally came out of his fear, and fired another huge breath of surging Fireball Technique into the smoke.

The forest began to burn.

I pulled Sasuke and tried to retreat away amid the chaos of fire and smoke, but just as we turned to leave, a long neck suddenly caught up with Sasuke from behind.

Orochimaru bit Sasuke's neck fiercely, with a weird and ferocious expression on his face: "Hehehehe... Do you think you can escape?"

At this moment, I understood why the ninjutsu left to me by Orochimaru required me to bite someone's neck to leave a mark.

This guy's vulgar and bad taste!!

Sasuke let out a scream and fell forward, completely unable to move. But we had not reached the safe area yet, so I gritted my teeth, carried him on my back, and continued running forward.

I don't know how long I ran, and when I stopped, I was already out of breath.

Orochimaru's chakra was left far behind me, but I knew that it was not me who got rid of him, but he himself did not catch up.

I turned around and put Sasuke down. He looked in pain and his face was covered in sweat, and he was as weak as when he was sick before.

I tried his skin, but in the blink of an eye, it was already hot and incredibly hot.

I looked at his neck, where there were three magatama-like curse seals.

Orochimaru...is this how he marks what he wants?

This is the first time I have seen...

He told me to stay away from his past self! Then his past self suddenly appeared in front of us and attacked us!

One of the Sannin bullies a Genin! Doesn't he feel ashamed?

I was angry, but I didn't know whether I was angry that he made our Chunin Exam more difficult, or that he only had eyes for Sasuke.

But this way, we are separated from Naruto. But as long as Naruto can find Shino successfully, he will be in Shino's group, so it won't be a big problem...

Sasuke is in a bad situation now. Not to mention fighting, even traveling has become a problem. He doesn't know if Orochimaru will suddenly appear. In this case, it might not be a good idea to meet up with Naruto.

But I am confident that I can take care of Sasuke alone for a day or two, but if it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid the situation will not be optimistic.

Just as I was thinking about what to do next, the bushes on the other side shook, and three people appeared in front of me without any hiding.

I recognized Lord Kankuro at a glance, so the two people beside him are his companions?

The one with red hair should be the future Kazekage Gaara?

That yellow-haired girl must be their elder sister Temari, right?

But seeing Lord Kankuro now is not something to be happy about, because from the looks on their faces, I can tell that they regard Sasuke and I as enemies.

"I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain halfway through." Kankuro-sama's painted face showed a satisfied smile as if he saw a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered: "Is your scroll the sky or the earth?"

"There's no need to ask such questions..." But as soon as he finished asking, Gaara spoke in a low voice, "If you run into me, you will die."
