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

Kakashi didn't respond.

Orochimaru asked, "Do you feel pressured when you think about fighting against the Four Nations Alliance, Kakashi? You probably never dreamed that one day you would be with a traitor like me and fight against your fellow Konoha members, right?"

Kakashi said expressionlessly: "Orochimaru, you don't have to speak, we all know you are not mute."

"I'm really curious." Orochimaru said, "What do you think of Chaolu now?"

Chaolu interrupted him: "Are you recording the traces left by my wind?"

"Yes."

"It's better to wait until the dust settles before asking, because everything may still change now."

"No, after the dust settles, there are different opinions. But the opinions during the change are more subtle and ambiguous. Isn't it interesting to see the endless changes?"

Based on Chaolu's understanding of him, she probably couldn't make Orochimaru give up his idea. She sighed, and simply quickened her pace to distance herself from them.

Orochimaru said to Kakashi: "She doesn't seem interested in your idea."

Kakashi smiled and said, "I think Chaolu may have realized what kind of person she is. She no longer needs to rely on other people's opinions to define herself like before."

He looked at Chaolu's back and rushed over to her: "After all, isn't this the age when people hate being judged by adults?"

Orochimaru sighed with unclear emotions: "...at this age."

When they caught up, Chaolu asked, "Are you done talking?"

Kakashi smiled slightly: "I didn't say anything."

Orochimaru said, "He said that at your age, you hate being judged by adults. Huh... He doesn't seem to be willing to do something that you would hate."

Before Kakashi could say anything, Chaolu said, "You must have twisted other people's meanings again."

Orochimaru widened his eyes slightly, "Am I so untrustworthy?"

"I always find it hard to trust you 100%." ​​Chaolu said, "But sometimes I really can't find anyone more trustworthy than you."

She looked troubled by this, but Orochimaru smiled, "That's what I'm worth."

Kakashi smiled and said, "It's Chaolu who's judging you now."

"Then why don't we talk about Kakashi? Asaro?"

"Kakashi...?" Chaolu said without hesitation: "Kakashi... is the opposite of you. He is not that powerful, but he always makes people feel that they can trust him 100%. Sometimes, he is obviously overwhelmed, but he still has to respond to others' trust with weakness, making himself exhausted and painful, but he still pretends that nothing happened."

Kakashi: "..."

"Sounds like a fool," Orochimaru commented.

Chaolu smiled and said, "But isn't it often the case that only idiots like this can be heroes?"

"Asaro has always liked heroes."

"I don't like it anymore."

"why?"

“Heroes are often accompanied by sacrifice and tears. Instead of praising the heroes who have passed away, it would be better if no one had to sacrifice themselves.”

Orochimaru stopped asking and instead asked, "You've commented on Kakashi a lot more than you have on me. Shouldn't our relationship be closer?"

Chaolu glanced at him coldly: "When I was just born, you said that I was just a consumable. I heard it."

Orochimaru: "I actually said such a cruel thing? However, that is also the truth. But now, Chaolu, you are doing very well. You are no longer a consumable."

Chaolu didn't answer.

Orochimaru: "Ah... If you're still hated by me, it seems you were really hurt at the time. This is proof that you care about me, Asaka."

Hearing this, Chaolu looked as if she had been bitten by a snake.

Orochimaru laughed, "Well...if you still have this kind of mood swings now, I'm relieved. I know very well that you won't follow Sasuke's wrong path."

How did Orochimaru make this judgment?

Chaolu was a little confused. Was she still able to respond to information from the outside world and communicate?

……

When the three of them rushed back to the Land of Waves as quickly as possible, Deidara and Gaara had already returned.

As soon as he saw her, Deidara, who was standing guard on the roof, immediately shouted, "Too slow, Chaolu! Why did you come back just now?"

Next to him, Scorpion had been released from the seal and was sitting on the roof in his true form, wearing Akatsuki's robe with an unhappy look on his face.

Gaara stood at the other end, and together with Deidara, he sandwiched Scorpion in the middle.

Chaolu looked at the group of three and felt that it would be more appropriate for Deidara to stand in the middle, so that the two red-haired boys, Gaara and Sasori, would be symmetrical with his golden hair as the central axis.

She smiled at Gaara, and Gaara smiled back at her.

"I'm back! When did you get back? It must have been hard on the journey? Did you have a good rest?"

Deidara boasted, "We came back early in the morning! We are the first ones back!"

In the courtyard downstairs, Itachi also opened the paper door, "Asaro, we are all ready."

Naruto squeezed half of his body out from Itachi's side and waved at her vigorously with a bright smile on his face: "Asaka! We brought the Eight-Tails back!"

"It must have been hard. Is anyone injured?"

"Sasuke was slightly injured, but Karin is amazing! She almost healed him in no time!"

Sasuke's dissatisfied voice came from deep in the room, "You are the last one...! Don't talk like I am the only one injured! Didn't Karin just heal you too?!"

"Hey!" Deidara lowered his head and shouted downstairs in dissatisfaction: "I saw Chaolu first and spoke to her first. Who allowed you to interrupt? "

Scorpion lowered his eyes and looked down at the girl standing on the ground. In the chaos all around her, she was undoubtedly the center of attention.

Chaolu said: "Alright, alright! Without further ado, prepare to summon the Outer Path Golem."

Deidara quickly responded, "Oh!!"

Naruto: "Here we come!"

Scorpion thought that this was the most...lively scene of summoning heterodox golems that he had ever seen.

"But the other villages will definitely react," Asuro was planning as Juugo carried the unconscious Killer Bee out of the house, "Let the four Hokage open the barrier."

Orochimaru said, "The Fourth Hokage is also considered a half-jinchūriki. If the Nine-Tails is to be extracted from his body, he cannot serve as a corner of the barrier. I will take his place."

Chaolu said: "Maintaining the barrier requires a lot of energy. You also have to control the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. Can you take care of it?"

Orochimaru said casually: "You underestimate me, Chaolu."

He unleashed the scroll that sealed the four Hokage, and the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage appeared in front of everyone.

Senju Tobirama suppressed his anger: "Orochimaru...!"

Chaolu walked up to Naruto and whispered, "Naruto, that's the Fourth Hokage..."

Naruto spotted Minato Namikaze among the crowd.

Maybe it was because of the same blond hair, or maybe it was because of his outstanding looks... or maybe it was the miraculous blood connection between relatives.

He hummed, but said nothing more and lowered his head.

"Naruto...?" It was Namikaze Minato who spoke first. His tone was even a little cautious: "Is it Naruto?"
