[BONUS CHAPTER] Orochimaru's Interest in Sasuke

"Naruto, you idiot! That's Orochimaru! With your current strength, do you want to rush up to die? Run!"

At this time, Nine Tails found that Naruto had rushed towards Orochimaru, and cursed.

"Smelly fox, I don't care about this Orochimaru guy. Look at me the great Naruto's power!"

Naruto rushed up, yelling.

In an instant, hundreds of Shadow Clone swarmed towards Orochimaru.

He had learned this trick from Rock Lee.

At this time, Naruto used the multiple Shadow Clone Technique to make hundreds of Shadow Clones to swarm towards Orochimaru.

"Nine Tails Jinchuriki?"

Orochimaru glanced at the hundreds of Naruto rushing up, and said in a cold voice.

He was not interested in Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine Tails Jinchūriki.

Orochimaru's goal, from beginning to end, was only Sasuke.

As for the other two?

He didn't pay attention to them at all.

"I don't have time to play with you for now."

Orochimaru casually made an earth clone, and after letting it deal with Naruto, he rushed towards Sasuke himself.

"Sasuke, be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Sakura in the rear shouted.

"Wind release: Vacuum Blade!"

Several sharp wind blades were released from Orochimaru's hands, instantly cutting Sasuke in front of him into several pieces.

"Sasuke!"

Sakura's eyes widened in fright, and she almost fainted.

Swish!

Just then, a Sasuke appeared behind Orochimaru.

At the same time, the "Sasuke" that was cut into several pieces also turned into a cut stake with a bang.

"Lightning release False Darkness!"

Sasuke shouted loudly, and a lightning spear in his hand instantly stabbed Orochimaru who was facing away from him.

But in the next second—

"Sasuke, this little trick is useless to me."

A sticky, snake-like cold voice rang in Sasuke's ear.

Sasuke widened his eyes in horror for a moment, and watched in disbelief as Orochimaru, who was pierced by the lightning spear, turned into a bunch of snakes.

And behind Sasuke, the real Orochimaru laughed ans grabbed Sasuke's neck with one hand, and smashed him to the ground.

Boom!

A cloud of smoke and dust rose up.

Sasuke coughed and hurriedly left the spot.

At the same time, he quickly formed signs with both hands, and used a Great Fireball Technique to blast over there.

After the flames from the fireball explosion spread and blew the smoke away, Sasuke found that there was an extra hole on the ground that was blown out by the Great Fireball.

But there was no one there at all.

"Where did he go?"

Sasuke looked around vigilantly for a moment, carefully guarding against Orochimaru's possible sneak attack.

The other side

The earth clone that Orochimaru had made before beat Naruto to the ground.

At this time, Naruto was lying on the ground and a bunch of snakes entangled around him tightly.

A big snake was even crawling towards him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You stinky snakes, let me go!!"

Naruto yelled and struggled.

But the snakes summoned by Orochimaru were not ordinary snakes.

They were stronger than ordinary snakes, and their bodies were also very tough.

No matter how hard Naruto struggled, he couldn't break free.

At this time, the big snake opened it's bloody mouth, and swallowed Naruto together with the snakes that entangled him.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Naruto, who was swallowed into the big snake's stomach, screamed again and again in fright.

But soon his voice couldn't be heard as the big snake's mouth closed.

"Damn! Naruto!!"

Sasuke noticed this scene and wanted to rush to rescue Naruto in an instant.

But at this moment, Orochimaru's figure suddenly emerged from the ground, hugging him from behind with a sneer.

"Sasuke-kun, you seem to care a lot about your companion!" Orochimaru sneered.

"Bastard! Who the hell are you? A Genin definitely isn't this strong!"

Sasuke struggled to break free, and then looked at Orochimaru with fierce eyes.

"Haven't I introduced myself to Sasuke-kun?"

"That's really my negligence!"

Orochimaru glanced greedily at Sasuke in front of him.

Sasuke didn't like the way Orochimaru looked at him.

It was as if he was a dish on Orochimaru's plate.

Very disgusting!

"Sasuke-kun, I am Orochimaru. Remember this name well, because I will be the one who will completely change your destiny." Orochimaru said with a smile.

Orochimaru?

Sasuke recalled carefully and found that he had never heard of the name.

"Why are you attacking us?" Sasuke asked.

"Of course it's because of you, Sasuke-kun!"

Orochimaru said with a smile, "Come on, Sasuke-kun. Let me see how far you can go. Compared to Itachi, I'm more interested in you!"

Itachi?

As soon as he heard that name, Sasuke's eyes instantly widened.

"Itachi? Do you know Itachi?!"

He yelled, "Tell me, where is he?"

"Oh~! Does Sasuke-kun hate Itachi?" Orochimaru sneered.

"He killed my father and mother, and also killed so many people. What's wrong with me hating him?"

Sasuke clenched his fists in anger, and said viciously, "Tell me quickly, where is Itachi?!"

"Want to know the whereabouts of Itachi?"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Then Sasuke-kun must defeat me first if you want me to tell you the answer."

"Then I will defeat you!"

Sasuke roared and rushed forward.

Once things involve Itachi, he loses his usual cool.

At this moment, Sasuke forgot how he was toyed with by Orochimaru before.

He even boasted that he would defeat Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru appreciated Sasuke's enthusiasm.

He also rushed towards Sasuke with a smile.

Next, what Sasuke faced was naturally another battle.

It's called a battle, but it's nothing more than Orochimaru sparing Sasuke for a while.

Orochimaru was just testing Sasuke's abilities in all aspects to see if he had met his expectations.

The test results were quite satisfactory.

But if Sasuke was just at this level, he couldn't be his vessel.

Especially is pair of Sharingan, only one had evolved to two tomoe.

Orochimaru was not sure if there was such a case of one-eyed evolution of the Sharingan in the Uchiha clan?

Anyway, he had never seen it before.
