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

Neji instinctively wanted to continue asking questions, but seeing that Chaolu had no intention of continuing, he remained silent. Just like he saw the unusual and special bond between Chaolu and Sasuke, but did not ask.

After a moment, Neji said, "Well... tomorrow, I want to spar with Sasuke, is that okay?"

Chaolu was stunned. "Of course, why are you asking me?"

"Because Asaka might want to continue training with Sasuke."

"It's okay. If Neji wants to train with Sasuke, I'll go find Naruto just as well."

"Okay." Neji smiled faintly, "It's getting late, let's get some rest."

However, perhaps because his emotions were too turbulent tonight, Neji did not sleep well the whole night.

When the next day came, he was so sleepy that he felt dizzy and dizzy. Gaara was already up and was preparing breakfast with Chaolu on the fire outside.

"Morning dew——"

Naruto brought a bowl of instant noodles from Konoha and excitedly shared it with her.

Chaolu said happily: "Thank you."

Neji walked towards them, Chaolu turned to look at him and smiled, "Ningji, you're awake."

Naruto also turned to look at him, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "Ningji."

Even though they had only been together for a few days, Neji could sense that Naruto, Shikamaru, and Sakura… the people in this world, would always look away the next moment and avoid his face when they saw him.

He thought that they would probably always think of the dead "Ningji".

"Is it morning already?" Neji pretended not to notice Naruto's change in attitude. He looked at the sky. "Since the sun disappeared, it has been night forever."

"Yeah, I can't tell the time anymore," Chaolu said, "I really want to go back soon so I can see the blue sky!"

Naruto also looked up at the sky: "...Although I also hate the sky being always dark, but...after we go back, will the morning dew leave soon?"

Yes.

Neji answered him in his mind.

Chaolu didn't answer. She changed the subject and said gently, "Naruto, are you free to spar with me later?"

Naruto also knew that saying such things would only make the atmosphere awkward, so he followed Chaolu's lead and said, "Hmm? Okay! Gaara, are you going to spar with me today too?"

Gaara's attitude towards him softened a lot: "I plan to digest the experience of yesterday's battle by myself today."

"Oh! As expected of Gaara. What about Neji?"

Neji said, "I'm going to spar with Sasuke today."

"What? With Sasuke?" Shikamaru and the others heard the conversation here, and he looked over with interest: "The two most famous geniuses of Konoha back then, today is the first time they are fighting each other."

Neji asked, "The Neji in your world has never fought with Sasuke?"

Sakura thought about it and said, "Huh, it seems like there really isn't one... right?"

Naruto asked Sasuke himself for confirmation: "Sasuke, you have never fought against Neji, right?"

Sasuke: "Yeah."

Sakura asked curiously, "In your world, Neji, you didn't fight Sasuke either?"

Neji shook his head: "No."

"Thinking about it now, I miss it so much," she said, "During the Chunin Exam, Lee and Sasuke fought each other. At that time, Sasuke rarely lost, but Lee said that he was not the strongest Genin, the strongest was Neji."

In the past, Neji might have proudly admitted to being the “strongest”, but now he modestly said: “The strongest?… You are too kind.”

"Oh, I remember that too!" Naruto laughed, "I was also super surprised at that time! I didn't expect Sasuke to be defeated!"

"The strongest Genin and the talented newcomer back then, now has only one Rinnegan and an incompletely awakened Samsara eye..." Shikamaru thought for a moment and smiled, "If Lady Tsunade were here, I'm afraid she would be tempted to take a gamble."

Neji said, "It's just a sparring match, no need to pay so much attention to it."

Sasuke: "..."

"I admit that Sasuke is stronger now."

"No..." Sasuke said slowly: "No one knows the outcome before the fight."

Chaolu looked at Neji, then at Sasuke, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said to Naruto: "I'm full, Naruto, shall we go?"

"okay!"

……

I witnessed up close the process of Naruto's transformation into Sage Mode, but I couldn't feel the so-called "Sage Chakra". I could only see that Naruto's appearance had undergone obvious changes.

Naruto said that Sage Chakra contains natural energy and is omnipresent like air, so people who cannot transform into Sage Mode cannot feel anything special.

I couldn't help but want to put my hands on his body to see if the contact would make any difference.

Naruto subconsciously said nervously: "Be careful!"

I was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"When I first started practicing Senjutsu Chakra, I would turn into a frog if I wasn't careful. I was worried that Chaolu would touch Senjutsu Chakra and absorb too much natural energy..."

"So, I will turn into a frog too?"

"Maybe!" Naruto said, "But... I turned into a frog because I applied toad oil... If I didn't apply morning dew, it shouldn't happen, right?"

"That sounds uncertain... If I really turn into a frog, will Naruto be able to change me back?"

Naruto scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Then I may have to take you to Myoboku Mountain! There is a black stick in Myoboku Mountain that can knock out natural energy."

"Why do you need toad oil?"

"It is used to assist in cultivation."

"Sasuke doesn't seem to have done that before."

"what?"

"He told me yesterday that he mastered his Senjutsu mode after Orochimaru injected him with the chakra of a man named Jūgo."

"...Sasuke, that guy, is really...!" Naruto gritted his teeth unwillingly, "I can't help it, he is a genius!"

"Hmm, can Sasuke also turn into an animal?"

Naruto thought about it, "Is his cursed seal form what natural energy looks like when it gets out of control?"

"Curse seal form?"

"Haven't you seen it, Asano? Wings will grow out of Sasuke's back, and his skin will turn blue-gray! His eyes and face will turn into this!"

Naruto made a face.

I laughed and said, "What would happen if my natural energy got out of control?"

I thought about it, could it be the appearance of Zero Tail... ?

Zero Tail's true form is like a giant snake wearing a human-faced mask...

So, I could turn into a snake?

"But Naruto learned Senjutsu Chakra from summoning beasts. My condition may be similar to Sasuke's..." I touched my chest and said, "How can I draw out the Senjutsu Chakra in my body? Sasuke has a curse seal, but mine doesn't seem to appear on the surface of my body. I don't know how to find it."

"It's similar to Sasuke... In other words, Chaolu's body has also been injected with senjutsu chakra? If that's the case, I can help Chaolu sense it!"

"Really? Then I'll trouble you Naruto!"

I sat cross-legged on the ground, facing Naruto. He closed his eyes and remained still, and I closed my eyes too.

After the surroundings became quiet, the vibrations and dangerous aura coming from a distance were particularly obvious - I thought, that was Neji and Sasuke starting their sparring match.

The wind from the huge air currents blew through the trees and even blew on us, with a few crisp noises that sounded like kunai and shuriken hitting each other.

After a while, I felt Naruto open his eyes and he stared at my abdomen.

"over there."

"The curse seal?" I was stunned. "In my stomach?"

"Hmm." Naruto frowned, "And inside Chaolu's body... there is a very uncomfortable aura..."

"That's Zero Tail."

"Zero-Tails?" Naruto was stunned. "Eh?! Kurama said before that he felt there was a similar existence in your body. I also thought about whether Chaolu was also a Jinchuriki, but...how could it be Zero-Tails!"

"Naruto knows about the Zero Tail?"

"I know - Sasuke and I have fought it before!" He was a little dazed: "Is this also the difference between the two worlds?"

I touched my belly, "Zero Tail is my power now."

"But, that thing absorbs people's negative emotions...! Chaolu, will this really not affect you?"

"I think... there shouldn't be any?" I said, "Then Naruto, can you help me draw out the natural energy in my body?"

"So, I mean, to help you unleash the power of the 'curse'?"

"Ok!"

"I don't know much about the curse seal," Naruto said worriedly, "If I trigger it rashly, will there be any danger? When we return to Earth, I will take you to ask Orochimaru in person, right?"

"But, Naruto, didn't you also say that we might not have time to do much after returning to Earth?"

Naruto was silent for a while, his expression darkened. "At that time... when Sasuke was first cursed, he had a high fever and was unconscious. He even lost his mind for a while and was very weak... Kakashi-sensei and the others said that the curse seal can easily get out of control. Once it gets out of control, you might lose your life."

"I should be stronger than Sasuke back then, right?"

"Of course. But... I don't know if it was because Sasuke was young and not strong enough at that time that he reacted so strongly, or if it was because the natural energy was too overbearing for him to adapt to... Moreover, the curse seal in Chaolu's body may not be as powerful as Sasuke's. If the power is stronger... then even if Chaolu is stronger than Sasuke at that time, she may still be in danger."

I held my stomach and lowered my head to think, would it be better to pull Orochimaru out of my body now and let him personally teach me the Sage Mode?

Come to think of it, how much stuff did he stuff into my body?

However, I was worried that if Orochimaru left my body, he would not be able to leave with me when Uchiha Madara finished this ninjutsu.

What if I return to that world and Orochimaru stays in this world... I don't dare to bet on this possibility.

It would be best if I could return to that world and then extract Orochimaru.
