Gai and Naruto heard the detailed explanation from the leader of the medical team, with shocked faces. Although they werenāt medical ninja, they could feel how severe Leeās injury was.
But for such an injury to completely heal an instant later by Naito, it was simply incredible!
āAs expected of Naito-Senseiā¦ā
Gai said at that moment with a grateful look. He wanted to thank Naito, but he had already left.
As for Naruto, looking at Lee, who got out of the coma and was sleeping peacefully, in awe, and seemed more respectful to Naito, and he gradually admired him.
āHeās not only powerful, but even his medical technique is so goodā¦ā
Even though he has always wanted to become the Hokage, and be the strongest ninja, thinking of Naito at this moment, he couldnāt help but feel hesitant.
Facing a high mountain, no matter how high it is, you can only be confident that you will climb one day, but when youāre facing an unreachable sky, that confidence will easily fade away.
Even Naruto was in a trance for a long time before finally suppressing these feelings in his heart.
ā¦ā¦.
Away from Konoha, in a small village.
He was not in Konoha because Orochimaruās current state was bad, and itās impossible for him to go back that any time soon.
At this time, Orochimaru was lying there, with no signs of injury on the surface. However, the inside was scattered, and he could barely control his Chakra.
Naitoās fist is not that simple to bear.
Orochimaru was in pain. He has always watched Naito kill people with one punch. Heck, he defeated Bijuu with one punch, and finally, experiencing it with his own body wasnāt something he wished for.
At the same time, he was a bit depressed. Kimimaroās body was originally his to take, but he was robbed by Naito. And now heās not even allowed to study it.
āOrochimaru-Sama, all the qualifiers have ended, and the official compet.i.tion will start in one month.ā
Kabuto came to the front of Orochimaru, first saluted him, then game him the report.
Orochimaru hummed and continued to sit there without saying a word.
Looking at Orochimaru, Kabutoās eyes seemed suddenly sharp, and he asked tentatively: āOrochimaru-Sama, how is your body?!ā
āWhat do you mean?!ā
This time, Orochimaru locked his eyes on Kabuto, at first it was a bit of fierceness that was revealed in his eyes, then they seemed more like eyes of a snake that can see through everything.
Kabuto was startled but still said: āI feel that your Chakra is really unsettled. Perhaps Naito-Samaās punch didnāt not only destroy your inner organs but also affected your soul.ā
āHumph.ā
Listening to Kabutoās a.n.a.lysis, Orochimaru smiled evilly with a trace of coldness, saying: āSo, are you gonna try your luck now?ā
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to be heavier, and Orochimaruās momentum gradually started to crush Kabuto.
āHow come, I will never think of that.ā
There was a trace of cold sweat on Kabutoās forehead as he said: āI just want to help you Orochimaru-Sama, this is why Iām trying to a.n.a.lyze the problem, and think about a solution.ā
āYou donāt have to trouble yourself. I will recover in one month. No, half a month will be enough, this wonāt affect the plan.ā
Orochimaru stared coldly at Kabuto, then faintly said: āEven if itās difficult for me to gather Chakra now, you canāt kill me, even though youāre also so strong yourself.ā
Sweating all over his body, Kabuto bowed his head.
āGet lost now.ā
Orochimaru raised his head, then Kabuto walked out obediently.
āThis guyā¦ā
Looking at the back of Kabuto, strange colors flashed in Orochimaruās eyes. He always felt that something wrong with Kabuto, but he couldnāt tell what was going on.
According to his personality, itās quite normal, but Orochimaru couldnāt shake that feeling, at some point, Kabuto seemed a little different than before.
āHumph.ā
Thinking of this, Orochimaru smirked.
ā¦..
The night fell.
Most of the ninja qualifiers were over. Of course, it would have been quicker if all of them won easily like Kimimaro and Karin.
After the pre-selection of the third and final test of the Chunin Exam, the official third exam will start, and there will be a month of preparation time. During this period, celebrities from all over the world will come, including the Kazekage of the Sand Village.
Naito didnāt stay in Konoha and returned to the Rain Village. Kimimaro and the others didnāt need him to take care of anything after all. And he also needed to focus more on the final transformation of his soul.
When he was absorbing the power of the Rinnegan, he could feel that his soul getting bigger and stronger, but now itās shrinking or compressing, changing for quant.i.ty to quality.
In Konoha, as the sky was getting darker, there was no movement at all, only some ninjas patrolling and walking around.
In this dark night, a figure was kneeling in the Uchiha clanās ancestral hall, gritting his teeth and hammering the ground with his fists.
āWhy am I the weakest!ā
Uchiha Sasukeās fist was dripping with blood, but he didnāt realize it, he was just clenching his teeth while thinking of his brother, Itachi.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the corner of the hall.
āDo you desire power? Uchiha Sasukeā¦ā
āWho is there?!ā
Sasuke was socked, and stood up quickly, then opened his Sharingan eyes and looked at the back cautiously, but he found nothing.
āIf you really want strength, then come with me.ā
The voice seemed to have hints of hoa.r.s.eness.
Sasuke located the source of the sound and chased it out.
It wasnāt until the next day that Konoah discovered that Uchiha Sasuke was missing. No one knew where he went. Even after Orochimaru knew this, he a little surprised.
He was still injured, and he couldnāt be there in Konoha during this time; thus, Sasukeās sudden disappearance shocked him.
However, Sasukeās disappearance was just a small wave. Except for a few people who really cared about him, his disappearance didnāt even set off any disturbing in Konoha.
