In Konoha, Naruto lies down

She didn't believe it. If it was really as he said, then that person wouldn't have spent so much time learning ninjutsu.

Naruto couldn't explain why he had been thinking about the Shiki Fuujin for a long time, thinking about how to separate Orochimaru's soul, but prevent the God of Death from swallowing them both in one gulp.

"Anyway, let's drink it first," he said.

Hongdou couldn't persuade him, so she drank two bottles of wine. Her face flushed, and her consciousness gradually became blurry. She subconsciously reached out for air, scratching at it randomly.

He couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he leaned over. Hongdou hugged him and immediately felt relieved. She was babbling something, but it was hard to hear.

About half a minute later, Hongdou fell completely silent.

Naruto put her down. This was his good point. When he was doing something important, all the distracting thoughts in his mind could be cleared instantly, and he could just do what he had to do.

"It seems to be this... I haven't made hand seals for a long time, and I'm not used to it." He said to himself. At such a young age, he had already embarked on the road of no return without making hand seals.

"Seal to ward off evil!" Naruto quickly formed a seal and pressed it directly on the back of Hongdou's neck.

A flash of black light passed by, and the Heavenly Seal expanded and suddenly appeared. A large white snake emerged from the seal, opening its mouth and spitting out the slimy Orochimaru.

After printing, he put the red beans aside, stood up, and blocked her with a sway of his body.

Orochimaru's face looked a little strange, and his evil snake eyes stared at Naruto again and again. He then caught a glimpse of the red beans on the ground, and a thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"What a surprise, the one who resurrected me is you, Uzumaki Naruto." Orochimaru grinned coldly.

"I want to ask you something, so I have to revive you, and then..." Naruto scratched his head, "Now I feel like you probably won't listen to what I say, so..."

【Shiki Fujin! 】

Orochimaru:"???"

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and a chilling wind blew. Suddenly, the green-faced, fang-toothed Grim Reaper in white appeared. His figure was hazy, his white robe revealing his bony chest.

He had a head full of loose white hair and red horns, a huge white ninja sword in his mouth, and his eyes were sharp and terrifying.

Suddenly, Orochimaru was completely unable to move. Before he could react to what had happened, a shadowy figure taller than the Grim Reaper appeared, standing behind Naruto.

Naruto, the God of Death, and the huge phantom, layer upon layer, each one taller than the other.

Orochimaru looked up and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The shadowy figure moved its hands, almost commanding the god of death to pin Orochimaru down. The pale giant hand tore through his body, directly grabbing his soul out.

"Okay, now it looks much better." Naruto said with satisfaction, "Now we can have an equal conversation, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru: “………”

Equality shit!

Orochimaru, in his soul state, looked at the two large phantoms behind Naruto, then looked at his own fallen body, opened his mouth and asked.

"What do you want to know?"

"Regarding the research on the second personality, I want to know if there is any solution?" Naruto asked directly without wasting time.

"Dual personality?" Orochimaru was a little surprised, but not panicked at all. "I have indeed done research in this area, but..."

【Death's Knife】

Naruto didn't give Orochimaru any scorn and raised his hand. The Death God behind him immediately removed the white short sword from his mouth. Suddenly, a cold wind blew and the evil spirits wailed.

"I just want answers, no buts," he said. "Any more nonsense and I'll chop off one of your legs. If I get a satisfactory answer, I'll return your lost hands and soul to you."

"Seriously?" Orochimaru's pupils rolled around, a sinister smile on his face. "How can I believe you? Where is Jiraiya?"

"The lecherous sage... He's pinned down Pein and is busy dealing with his disciples' affairs." Naruto replied to the latter part, "He's probably looking for the Child of Prophecy now."

Orochimaru stopped talking and seemed to be thinking.

"I promise you."

"The phenomenon of dual personality is generally more common after the war, when the brain is stimulated and becomes split. However, there are exceptions, where the transformation is not caused by stimulation."

"Exception?" Naruto frowned.

Sakura has a harmonious family with both parents, and she's an only child. While her family may not be powerful, they're well-equipped. It's no wonder she's so easily provoked that she's schizophrenic.

"Exceptions are rare. It's also possible that someone is born with a dual personality," Orochimaru explained. "This is determined by the body and is related to the brain."

"I've studied subjects with similar cases. Those with dual personalities have more developed brains than ordinary people. They have stronger learning abilities and are more talented."

"Sakon Ukon?" Naruto looked up suddenly and thought of Sakon Ukon among the Four Sound Ninjas.

"Yes." Orochimaru admitted directly, "Sakon and Ukon are just the only surviving experimental subjects. I fused the two personalities and modified his body in the process."

Hearing this, Naruto felt that he had come to the right place, but was also a little surprised.

Orochimaru is truly a mad scientist, cruel and bloody, but he does know a lot. He's much better than that toad who dreams and predicts things every day, at least his theories are well-founded.

"Can the dual personality be separated from the body?" he asked tentatively.

"There's a high probability of death." Orochimaru didn't hide it from him. "The probability of survival is only one in a hundred. The body will also need to withstand the erosion of the Earth Seal or the Sky Seal."

"Your curse seal isn't very effective, Orochimaru." Naruto told the truth.

Orochimaru was not annoyed. His translucent soul and pale face actually showed a smile.

"The Curse Seal is a failure. The only successful work is Uchiha Sasuke, but it's a pity that it can't be called perfect. The Sage Transformation cannot be perfectly expressed."

"Is there any other way? What if we just want to keep the two personalities coexisting?" He didn't let Orochimaru lead the subject off track and continued to ask.

"They cannot coexist. The second personality will be swallowed up by the main personality." Orochimaru said.

Chapter 322 They shine like stars, so I will be yours from now on

"Is there a possibility that the second personality devours the main personality?" Naruto asked.

Orochimaru: “………”

"Ahem, I'm just asking." He coughed awkwardly. "So, is there a solution? I'd prefer to keep my second personality."

"It's almost impossible, even if there are exceptions." Orochimaru looked up at him, "Without a thorough diagnosis, there's no way to be sure."

Naruto frowned, not even considering letting Orochimaru intervene. He just wanted to get a direction from Orochimaru, perhaps he had a more stable and better way.

Under the current circumstances, whether Orochimaru's soul exists or not depends only on Naruto's thoughts, so there is no need for him to hide it and not tell the truth.

Besides, Orochimaru was concerned with immortality, and the twin personalities were probably just a surprising discovery during his research. It didn't mean much to him, so he naturally wouldn't delve into it.

Now, Orochimaru's conclusion can be roughly viewed from two directions.

First, the number of congenital twin personalities is very small, so it is impossible to get an accurate result. Only by cooperating with Orochimaru and having him examine it can a more accurate result be obtained.

Secondly, Orochimaru discovered twin personalities, and distinguished between innate and acquired ones. However, he was not very interested in this, and only roughly spliced ​​together a Sakon and Ukon before terminating the experiment.

After a brief thought, Naruto decisively chose the latter.

He didn't trust Orochimaru, nor would he hand Sakura over to him. He always felt that even if there was little hope, he couldn't rush into seeking medical help.

Even if the second personality will eventually dissipate as Orochimaru said, at least Sakura will not be killed off, even though he likes Black Sakura more.

The ideal situation is that the two personalities can be separated and a new body can be easily obtained. Even if they cannot be separated, at least they can coexist peacefully in the same body.

Even if Sakura is on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and Kurozakura is on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, it would be nice if they alternated on Sundays.

If only one personality could exist in the end, Naruto would choose Black Sakura without hesitation if he was sure of the choice.

But now she had no choice, and her main personality would eventually devour Kuroyura. One day, she would have to return her body and retreat into her corner.

Since Orochimaru was not sure and didn't even have a clue, he didn't want to involve Sakura.

The topic ended here.

Naruto paused, then controlled the God of Death to open his mouth and spit out the souls from Orochimaru's hands, directly fulfilling his promise.

Orochimaru regained his hands that were severed by the Third Hokage's forbidden technique, and his golden left and right hands returned. He looked down at his soul state, at least they were complete.

"I'll tell you everything I know. If you want..." Orochimaru said lightly.

"I don't want to, just asking casually." Naruto changed his expression, put away all his casualness, and his whole aura changed. He stared at Orochimaru from a distance and said.

"Even if you don't answer, I'll give your hand back. Now, let's get down to business."

When Orochimaru heard Naruto use the word "return", his expression changed. The souls in his hands were severed by the Third Hokage and taken away by the God of Death.

Now Naruto said, give it back to him.

In Orochimaru's original plan, there was more than one way to reclaim his hands. But... the word "return" was quite ambiguous. He would return it.

Have you reached the point where you can freely control the god of death?

Although forbidden techniques such as the Shiki Fuujin and Impure World Reincarnation are related to the Nidaime, they are ultimately the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, and the God of Death belongs to them.

This is very interesting, just like the Uchiha, they never say they are the Uchiha of Konoha. But the Hyuga call themselves Konoha Hyuga and are proud of it.

When a family or personal symbol or ninja transcends the village symbol itself, the meaning it represents becomes completely different.

So, is the current Naruto Konoha Naruto, or Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Business? What business?"

"About a hypothesis, a hypothesis that everyone has imagined." Naruto never took his eyes off Orochimaru's face and uttered a few words.

"eternal life."

"eternal life?"

"Yes, eternal life, you should be interested in it."

"Yeah." Orochimaru smiled, and it was hard to tell whether it was relief or mockery, as if to say, "What do you know about immortality?"

"You do not believe?"

"Not really, on the contrary I'm very interested." Orochimaru looked up and pointed at the shadow of the Grim Reaper behind him, a scene that could only be seen by the two people who had used the Shikigami Fusuri.

"Since you can control the phantom of the Grim Reaper, I have no reason not to be interested. Even though you are young, I believe there are indeed geniuses in this world."

"Like Uchiha Sasuke?" Naruto twitched his eyebrows.

"Uchiha Sasuke is indeed a genius." Orochimaru smiled, "I will go find him and take back what belongs to me."

Hearing this, Naruto wanted to advise against going to him, lest he be crippled by Uchiha Itachi, the brother-obsessed man. But then he thought about Orochimaru's immortality and swallowed the thought.

"Container? Even the most perfect container will have flaws." Naruto said, "Orochimaru, I don't deny your decades of research."

"But have you ever thought that... your soul itself is flawed, or that all ninja souls are flawed?"

"Flaw?" Orochimaru stared at Naruto with a hint of interest. "That's an interesting idea. Is my soul flawed?"

"You are just constantly trying new bodies. If you succeed in taking over Uchiha Sasuke's body, various problems will still arise.

"But it didn't work." Perhaps it was because he'd been doing too much scientific research, or perhaps he was being exploited. Even though Naruto directly denied his research, Orochimaru remained calm.

"Of course it won't work. There's no good or bad container. If there's something wrong with the soul, there's nothing we can do." Naruto patiently advised, "The soul may have been diluted through generations, just like a bloodline limit."

"Ninjas can't just appear out of thin air. Chakra also has a source. Perhaps the source of ninjas is the secret to eternal life."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Is this the serious matter you are talking about?"

He didn't seem to believe what Naruto said. Without direct and strong evidence, all his words were just groundless speculation. Orochimaru would rather try to take back Sasuke's body, which was rightfully his. At least it would be beneficial to him.

What if...what if it happens?

Naruto didn't care whether he could convince Orochimaru or not, he just told him. As for the evidence...even if he could produce it, he wouldn't do it. It was too ulterior motive.

No matter how much you do, it's not as good as one sentence, Aunt Snake! I also want to join the glorious evolution of immortality!

Of course, he never thought about immortality.

"Yeah, that's it, let's go." Naruto released the Shiki Fuujin, without even looking at Orochimaru, turned around and carried the unconscious Anko on his back.

Orochimaru: “….”

All the prepared remarks were useless. Orochimaru stood there, stunned for a moment, watching Naruto walk away.

That's it?

.........

Naruto wasn't worried about not being able to find Orochimaru, nor did he want to say too much. He would meet again someday. As he said, the truth is the sharpest sword.

There is no need to worry that Orochimaru is not interested, he will find him sooner or later.

Carrying Anko on his back, Naruto quickly left, heading towards the Land of Fire. He didn't plan to take Anko with him on the Rain Country mission, as her mission had already been completed.

Thanks to his skillful use of the Shiki Fuujin, the meeting with Orochimaru went much more smoothly than expected, which was a pleasant surprise for Naruto.
