Chapter 75 Kushina
A scarlet full moon hung high in the sky.
Sasuke smelled the scent of blood.
It came from his home.
But when he pulled out the thunder fire sword to rush in, his sword fell into the river.
Water splashed, and the long sword vanished without a trace.
A beautiful loli floated up from the bottom of the river.
"Young man, did you drop this golden sword, or this silver sword?"
Sasuke took a look; neither was his thunder fire sword.
He wanted to speak, but couldn't.
And he was extremely anxious, so he quickly reached out his hand.
"You want it! Young man, if you want it, just say so. If you don't say you want it, how am I supposed to know you really want it? Do you really want it? You don't really want it, do you? Or do you really want it?"
What a psycho!
Sasuke, impatient, directly opened his mouth and spat out a Great Fireball.
The loli also opened her mouth, transformed into a giant python, and swallowed him whole.
"Ah!"
Sasuke woke up.
"Sasuke-kun?"
Sakura, who was keeping watch by his side, looked at him with a face full of worry.
His handsome face was far too pale.
It made her unable to resist wanting to hold him in the palm of her hand... cough cough.
"Sasuke-kun, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can take a bite of me."
Karin directly thrust her arm in front of him.
"?"
Sakura glared at her, "Sasuke-kun has already recovered under my Medical Ninjutsu, he doesn't need you!"
"Sasuke needs peace and quiet."
Naruto, seeing the two of them showing signs of starting another argument, hurriedly spoke up.
Karin and Sakura snorted coldly at the same time and turned their heads away.
"Sasuke, how are you feeling?"
Naruto walked up to him and asked.
When the Cursed Seal was first planted, this guy screamed like a stuck pig.
Sasuke came to his senses and pressed his hand against the Cursed Seal on his neck.
"I feel a continuous flow of power surging in."
He looked at Naruto, appearing as if he knew something, "What is this?"
"A Cursed Seal. You need to learn to control it."
Naruto glanced at Karin and Sakura, thought for a moment, and said, "It can allow you to enter Sage Mode."
"What?"
Sasuke looked surprised.
He had previously tried to learn Sage Mode, but even after obtaining Moon Breathing, he couldn't find the entrance.
He was always unable to enter.
He could only envy Naruto and the others.
He had always believed the main reason he couldn't beat Naruto and Neji was that he didn't know Sage Mode.
But now this Cursed Seal could bring him Sage Mode?
Wouldn't that mean... He clenched his fists, his thoughts shifting constantly.
"I don't understand why that mysterious guy would give me a Cursed Seal?"
Sasuke thought of Orochimaru and couldn't help but ask.
How precious was Sage Mode? How could it be given away so casually?
He had long understood that the more powerful the strength, the greater the price to be paid.
Just like his Magical Girl Mode.
The price was the Witch's Night.
His entire clan perished, and his brother's body was occupied by a Witch.
"But he said he knew my brother."
Sasuke frowned, "What is the relationship between him and my brother?"
Sakura and Karin were naturally confused.
But one knew her teammate was very strong and had many secrets, and the other owed him a life-saving debt, so neither spoke.
Hearing this, Naruto twitched the corner of his mouth.
What relationship?
A life-and-death friendship?
That's a long story.
"I'm not too clear about his identity; perhaps the teacher knows."
Naruto didn't answer.
Mainly because he couldn't explain where he got his information.
Anyway, since Anko had seen Orochimaru, she would definitely report to the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Most importantly, Kakashi knew Sealing Jutsu.
Naruto had only simply and crudely blocked the Cursed Seal with Chakra.
To truly solve the rejection reaction, one would have to rely on Sealing Jutsu.
Sasuke nodded.
Orochimaru knew his name and had seen his brother; he must have countless ties to Konoha.
"Shall we go find the teacher now?"
He was somewhat impatient.
When it came to news about Uchiha Itachi, he was always the most proactive.
"Let's help Karin snatch an Earth Scroll and then go to the tower," Naruto said.
"Thank you!"
Karin froze for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and bowed.
She had lived in hell since she was a child.
She and her mother were reduced to medical kits in the Grass Hidden Village.
In the literal sense.
The Ninjas of the Grass Hidden Village never treated them as people, but just as two walking herbs.
Her mother died because her Chakra and life force were sucked dry.
And she was the same; before long, she might follow in her mother's footsteps.
But in front of Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura, Karinfelt a rare warmth.
Even Sakura, who often argued with her, treated her completely as a person rather than a tool.
"Karin, are you willing to join Konoha?"
Naruto knew of her tragic encounter; returning to the Grass Hidden Village would just be waiting for death.
Plus, with his influence, he didn't know if Orochimaru would still adopt her.
So he might as well let her join Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely agree.
Getting a Jinchuriki candidate for free, how could he not be happy?
Just like his mother Kushina back then.
As for the Grass Hidden Village, who cared?
"I... can I?"
Karin showed an expression of disbelief.
"Don't worry, it's a very simple matter."
Naruto said with a smile.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't agree, so what?
He was about to kick the bucket anyway.
Naruto remembered that Karin's medical talent was very good; he would pack her and Sakura off to Tsunade.
Let's see who would dare to bully them in the future.
At the very end, there was still an insurance policy.
The Tianming Organization.
But right now there were only Zabuza and Haku, so let's wait a bit longer.
Sasuke had no objection.
Sakura was originally a bit dissatisfied, but when she heard about Karin's past, she immediately blew a fuse and wanted to go risk her life against the Grass Ninjas.
Even more excited than Naruto.
Then, to his dumbfounded gaze, Sakura and Karinquickly became sworn sisters.
Women are truly mysterious.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, both having the same thought.
The four of them rested for a while and continued toward the tower.
They didn't go looking for other teams.
As the final destination, the tower would inevitably have a large number of teams gathered.
Some might have even prepared traps, waiting for them to step in.
But there was no need for Naruto to act at all.
Having obtained a new power-up, Sasuke rushed forward with an excited face.
Unlike the original work, he was very accepting of the unexpectedly obtained Cursed Seal and hoped to master it as soon as possible.
Even Orochimaru would shed tears of relief if he saw this.
Look at this leek, how hard he's working.
After robbing a team of unnamed Ninjas, Karincollected both the Heaven and Earth Scrolls.
Inside the tower.
Sakura interpreted a piece of calligraphy by Hiruzen Sarutobi hanging on the wall.
Naruto opened the scroll, and Iruka appeared before them.
"Congratulations, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura."
Iruka felt deeply proud.
Being able to pass the second stage just one year after graduation was definitely a rare achievement.
After his explanation, the four of them went to a temporary lounge.
Since the time limit was five days and they had only spent two, they still had to wait for three more.
Naruto immediately found Kakashi and explained the situation to him.
It was Orochimaru!
Kakashi locked onto the target immediately.
After all, there weren't many people who fought using snakes.
Especially one who could use them so well; there were almost none.
