Chapter 69: The preliminary rounds begin!!! The difference between worlds is increasing!!!

Orochimaru: "Haha, it seems I guessed right, I know myself very well!"

Be it the Sasuke of this world or the Sasuke of the parallel world!

Although there are obvious differences in character, talent, and strength.

but!

They all yearn for revenge!

They all yearn for a force powerful enough to take revenge!

Since they have this desire, they can't refuse the path to power!

Uchiha Fugaku: "Orochimaru, you damn bastard! What the hell is that cursed mark doing to Sasuke?!"

Orochimaru: "Hehe, it's just a small gift for Sasuke, I think Sasuke will like it."

Jiraiya: "Speaking of the cursed seal, Orochimaru's former disciple Mitarashi Anko, also had a cursed seal implanted in her. Although it hasn't been removed, no serious side effects have been seen for so many years.

However!

Orochimaru is not the type to do senseless things!

There must be some secret hidden in that cursed seal!

Hatake Kakashi: "Sasuke on our side has had a cursed seal implanted, but I have already sealed it and normally it won't have any effect."

Jiraiya: "Kakashi, don't take it lightly! The things Orochimaru does are not that easy to endure!"

Orochimaru: "Hehe, Jiraiya, you know me well."

What he planted in Sasuke is the Heaven's Seal!

He researched the cursed seal based on Jugo's physique, which can utilize natural energy.

The earth's cursed seal can bring incredible power to the user, but the body will gradually be eroded by the natural energy.

Based on the Heaven's Curse Seal, soul fragments are also added to it!

If the Chakra of the person sealed by the curse is consumed greatly, the soul fragments hidden in the Heaven's Curse Seal will have the opportunity to steal the body of the Host sealed by the curse.

He can use this to achieve reincarnation!

So far, Orochimaru has only planted the Heaven's Seal on Mitarashi Anko and Uchiha Sasuke!

These two people can be said to be his reincarnation vessel, through the resurrection technique!

If the Sasuke from another world accepts his curse seal, the result will be even better.

However, it might also pose a problem because usually, the seal can bring extra power.

But it also leaves the possibility of being able to occupy his body in the future!

Onoki: "Will Uchiha Sasuke accept the deal with Orochimaru?"

Senju Tobirama: "It depends on the level of his desire for revenge. Perhaps he will accept the deal if the desire is difficult to suppress!"

The gold-framed screen continues to play.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Sasuke fell into deep thought.]

[Accepting the cursed seal will bring about power, this should be true, Orochimaru shouldn't have lied to him on this point.]

[But there will be unknown side effects... This side effect should be in line with Orochimaru's purpose.]

[Also, after making the deal with Orochimaru, he can obtain the method to open the Mangekyu Sharingan.]

[Frankly speaking, Sasuke was tempted.]

[Especially since he feels that he is becoming more and more hungry for power, in turn, he has been experiencing more and more emotional stimuli.]

[But!]

[The analytical and calm-thinking ability he possesses from a young age has been keeping Sasuke awake.]

[Orochimaru is not an idiot!]

['I can't just accept a deal with Orochimaru without knowing anything about it.']

["You can think about it for a while, I'll be in Konoha for a while in the future."]

[Yakushi Kabuto said slowly.]

[Looking at Karin who was staring at him with hostility, Yakushi Kabuto added]

["If you want to find me, this girl named Karin must have awakened the Mind's Eye of Kagura, right? You can find me easily through her."]

["Also, you probably want to take this girl from the Uzumaki clan for your use, right? Master Orochimaru can provide you with some help in this regard."]

["Master Orochimaru will silently kill all the ninjas from the Hidden Grass Village (Kusagakure) who participated in this Chunin Exam, including their Jonin guide. That way you won't have to worry about any trouble with the Hidden Grass Village anymore."]

["Of course, this is just a gesture of goodwill from Lord Orochimaru. It is entirely up to you to decide whether or not to proceed with the transaction."]

[After hearing this statement Karin's eyes light up with a special desire for revenge.]

['If all those bastards from the Hidden Grass Village are killed, no one will stop me from following Sasuke.']

[Very well!]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nara Shikamaru: "If Orochimaru kills the Kusagakure ninja, it can be said to be foolproof."

All the ninjas who took the Chunin Exam are dead, including the Jonin guide!

In the parallel world, after the Third Generation heard the news, it might be too late to give themselves a headache over the whereabouts of a girl.

Uzumaki Kushina: "It's a good outcome for that little girl, she doesn't need to return to Kusagakure and she doesn't have to worry about the Hokage and Danzo's greed."

Uchiha Fugaku: "This Orochimaru guy talking about showing kindness, he's just a honey trap to attract flies! He just wants to trick Sasuke."

Orochimaru: "Hehe, I don't know what you're talking about, at no point did I force Sasuke to make any decisions."

If Sasuke took the initiative to agree to the seal deal, he can't be blamed!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

[With those last words Yakushi Kabuto leaves.]

[Sasuke fell into deep thought.]

[Now, the most important thing is the lack of information regarding Orochimaru's cursed seal!]

['Hmm... I can ask Kakashi this later, though I don't know if he'll understand.']

["Sasuke-sama, although I don't know what you're thinking if you want to do something, you don't need to think about my situation."]

[Karin cautiously said from the side.]

[She's willing to sacrifice herself for Master Sasuke!]

["Huh? Oh, it's got nothing to do with you. What I'm thinking won't affect you."]

["Yes! Master Sasuke!"]

[Karin said excitedly.]

[ When she thinks about being able to accompany Sasuke all the time, she feels extremely happy.]

['... It would be better if Master Sasuke could be a little more presumptuous with me...']

[The next day.]

[Five days have passed, and the second stage of the Chunin Exam examination has ended.]

[The teams that have collected all the scrolls have arrived at the central tower.]

[The remaining ones that did not arrive after the deadline may have died or collapsed halfway, which is normal for the Chunin Exam.]

[Because there are still many candidates left, there will be a preliminary before the third test.]

[A group of people arrived at the examination hall for the qualifiers.]

[The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen walked onto the stage and He began to explain the essence and origins of these exams.]

[He continued to talk nonsense.]

[However, fortunately, Sasuke has already become accustomed to it.]

[When he was in the ninja academy, the Third Generation used to come to the academy to give speeches, promoting their will of fire.]

["Leaves that reach the fire will turn to ashes, and from those ashes will sprout new leaves!"]

["The youth are the hope of the future, and the older generations must rely on and protect them. The sacrifice of the older generations is not insignificant, but will inspire the youth to become the pillars of the future."]

[Because of this, Sasuke just wants to laugh it off!]

[Who would believe such nonsense!]

[Fool a fool!]

[However, there is no way.]

[The average IQ of people in the ninja world is very low, and none of them like to read or think, and they are always led by the nose without knowing it.]

[As a result, a group of Konoha Shinobi have been brainwashed by the Third Hokage.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "…"

Is this how Uchiha Sasuke views his serious speech?!

Senju Hashirama: "Damn it! The will of fire is all talk?!"

Senju Tobirama: "This brat has been rebellious since he was a child!"

Onoki: "Isn't that right? What do you say about the older generation protecting the young, but Konoha seems to be made up of only young people who die? Sarutobi, you guys have been living well.

'There are no successors in Iwagakure, and Deidara, the only one he had in his sights, has fled!'

But Konoha is not like that!

Konoha's White Fang, Sannin, Yellow Lightning!

One after another, excellent young people appeared, but in the end, it was old man Sarutobi who served as Hokage.

Fourth Raikage A: "In terms of brainwashing abilities, no one in the ninja world can compare to the Third Hokage!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[It's been a long time.]

[Sasuke felt like he was almost drowsy from listening to it.]

[The examiner for the third stage of the exam, Hayate, finally appeared and announced the start of the exam.]

["Ahem… This elimination round is a personal battle. Those whose names appear on the screen… come to the stage one by one to fight, cough…"]

[Hayate has dark circles under his eyes and speaks intermittently due to coughing.]

[In the stands.]

[Sasuke frowned.]

[Can these kinds of people also serve as examiners?]

[In front of a group of ninjas from other villages, this kind of examiner who doesn't know if he can live until next month is ruining Konoha's image.]

["The exam will begin soon."]

[It's Naruto's turn for the first round!] 

[The opponent is Naruto's friend from the ninja school, Inuzuka Kiba.]

[Kiba Since he saw that his opponent was Naruto, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.]

[In this Chunin exam there is a group of boys that he considers dangerous, if he finds them, he will be in trouble.]

[Fortunately, the opponent is Naruto who he knows.]

[He is still confident in defeating Naruto.]

[Sasuke looked at Inuzuka Kiba, then at Naruto, and said]

["Naruto, be careful, and try not to kill Kiba accidentally."]

[With the power of Naruto's Rasengan, it's no problem to knock down a wall.]

[If it hits someone, it will either kill or severely injure whoever it is!]

[Inuzuka Kiba is also considered his friend in the ninja school, if he accidentally dies or is seriously injured, the situation won't look good.]

["You don't need to remind me of these kinds of things, I know that."]

[Naruto curled his lips and said.]

["Sasuke, you underestimate me, don't you? In your eyes, am I no match for Naruto?"]

[Inuzuka Kiba, who was standing at the side, heard this and was very dissatisfied.]

['Sasuke is a strong guy. He was the best for several years in the ninja school, so that has to be acknowledged.]

['Yet Naruto thinks he can defeat me?!']

["Sasuke, don't underestimate my students, Kiba and Akamaru are very strong."]

[Kurenai snorted twice and said.]

["Of course, Kurenai you.."]

[Sarutobi Asuma also walked over and said flatteringly to Kurenai.]

[However, without letting him finish speaking, Kurenai interrupted.]

["Asuma, please stay away from me."]

[Kurenai looks at Sarutobi Asuma with a disgusted expression.]

['Asuma, this guy doesn't understand anything!']

['What's wrong, the words are getting more and more serious!']

[Sarutobi Asuma wants to cry, but he has no tears left.]

['Why is this happening!?']

[He listened to Sasuke's words, read the entire Icha Icha Paradise series, and studied it seriously!]

[Why does Kurenai hate him even more?]

[Did he learn something wrong? Why can Sasuke let several girls live together in peace, but he can't talk to one without them hating him?]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarutobi Asuma: "...Kurenai from the parallel world seems to hate me more and more... Uchiha Sasuke, you idiot!"

Orochimaru: "Who told you to learn the things written by Jiraiya, a bachelor dog? After you learn them, you'll be a bachelor like Jiraiya until you're 50."

Jiraiya: "Orochimaru, you bastard!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[The match between Naruto and Inuzuka will begin soon.]

[At first, Inuzuka greatly underestimated Naruto.]

[When he was in ninja school, he fought Naruto many times, and he knows Naruto's power very well!]

[Naruto's Taijutsu is at the level of an academy student!]

[¡And he believes that his experience cannot be much greater!]

[However!]

[As soon as the fight started, Inuzuka Kiba's expression changed!]

[Naruto's speed and strength, as well as his combat experience, have all improved greatly!]

[Even though he and Akamaru teamed up, they were at a disadvantage!]

[What the hell? Is this the same Naruto I knew?]

[In the end, Inuzuka was forced by Naruto to use everything he had, and both he and Akamaru were easily knocked down by Naruto's Rasengan!]

['I can't get up again.']

["Victory, goes to Uzumaki Naruto."]

[The exam sensor announced.]

[Naruto looks very proud.]

[He has done his best to limit his power, even the Rasengan he used was the size of a tennis ball.]

[But he still easily claimed victory.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuzuka Kiba: "...I also lost to Naruto in the other world, and not only did I lose, but in such a crushing way?"

Naruto easily defeated him despite limiting his power!

Aburame Shino: "Did you just find out about Naruto's progress in that world?"

Nara Shikamaru: "Although at first, only Sasuke has changed in the parallel world, the changes in Sasuke will gradually affect the people around him."

If this continues, the difference between the two worlds will become increasingly greater.
