Gai and Naruto heard the detailed explanation from the leader of the medical team, with shocked faces. Although they werenât medical ninja, they could feel how severe Leeâs injury was.
But for such an injury to completely heal an instant later by Naito, it was simply incredible!
âAs expected of Naito-SenseiâŚâ
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.
âHeâs not only powerful, but even his medical technique is so goodâŚâ
Even though he has always wanted to become the Hokage, and be the strongest ninja, thinking of Naito at this moment, he couldnât 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 youâre 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.
âŚâŚ.
Away from Konoha, in a small village.
He was not in Konoha because Orochimaruâs current state was bad, and itâs 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.
Naitoâs 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 wasnât something he wished for.
At the same time, he was a bit depressed. Kimimaroâs body was originally his to take, but he was robbed by Naito. And now heâs not even allowed to study it.
âOrochimaru-Sama, all the qualifiers have ended, and the official compet.i.tion will start in one month.â
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, Kabutoâs eyes seemed suddenly sharp, and he asked tentatively: âOrochimaru-Sama, how is your body?!â
âWhat do you mean?!â
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: âI feel that your Chakra is really unsettled. Perhaps Naito-Samaâs punch didnât not only destroy your inner organs but also affected your soul.â
âHumph.â
Listening to Kabutoâs a.n.a.lysis, Orochimaru smiled evilly with a trace of coldness, saying: âSo, are you gonna try your luck now?â
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to be heavier, and Orochimaruâs momentum gradually started to crush Kabuto.
âHow come, I will never think of that.â
There was a trace of cold sweat on Kabutoâs forehead as he said: âI just want to help you Orochimaru-Sama, this is why Iâm trying to a.n.a.lyze the problem, and think about a solution.â
âYou donât have to trouble yourself. I will recover in one month. No, half a month will be enough, this wonât affect the plan.â
Orochimaru stared coldly at Kabuto, then faintly said: âEven if itâs difficult for me to gather Chakra now, you canât kill me, even though youâre also so strong yourself.â
Sweating all over his body, Kabuto bowed his head.
âGet lost now.â
Orochimaru raised his head, then Kabuto walked out obediently.
âThis guyâŚâ
Looking at the back of Kabuto, strange colors flashed in Orochimaruâs eyes. He always felt that something wrong with Kabuto, but he couldnât tell what was going on.
According to his personality, itâs quite normal, but Orochimaru couldnât shake that feeling, at some point, Kabuto seemed a little different than before.
âHumph.â
Thinking of this, Orochimaru smirked.
âŚ..
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 didnât stay in Konoha and returned to the Rain Village. Kimimaro and the others didnât 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 itâs 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 clanâs ancestral hall, gritting his teeth and hammering the ground with his fists.
âWhy am I the weakest!â
Uchiha Sasukeâs fist was dripping with blood, but he didnât 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.
âDo you desire power? Uchiha SasukeâŚâ
âWho is there?!â
Sasuke was socked, and stood up quickly, then opened his Sharingan eyes and looked at the back cautiously, but he found nothing.
âIf you really want strength, then come with me.â
The voice seemed to have hints of hoa.r.s.eness.
Sasuke located the source of the sound and chased it out.
It wasnât 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 couldnât be there in Konoha during this time; thus, Sasukeâs sudden disappearance shocked him.
However, Sasukeâs disappearance was just a small wave. Except for a few people who really cared about him, his disappearance didnât even set off any disturbing in Konoha.
