Chapter 123: The Scroll (Edited)

Under the terrifying shockwave, the countless snakes thrown by Orochimaru began to explode one by one, spewing flesh and blood everywhere, even covering Orochimaru.

After withdrawing his fist, upon seeing this scene, the corners of Naito's mouth twitched.

Since entering the battlefield, he had seen many bloody scenes and killed many ninjas.

But the scene in front of him made him feel uncomfortable.

Besides Orochimaru, there was also the Aburame Clan, which also made Naito uncomfortable. Fortunately, Naito was not born into the Aburame Clan, otherwise, at the thought of insects scouring the inside of an Aburame Clan ninja's body, Naito felt his scalp tingling.

Boom!!!

The muddy ground suddenly exploded, and Orochimaru emerged from it, but his body was not stained with blood.

This time, Orochimaru looked at Naito with a slightly solemn look, but at the same time, he had an evil smile on his face, "Indeed, I currently can't defeat you.... You are more talented than I was in my youth, even more talented than Minato, and you are becoming more powerful much faster than I expected."

"But Naito, I'm afraid your strength is about to reach the limit of what some people can tolerate, and those people's desire for control is very strong."

Naito knew exactly what Orochimaru was talking about.

In fact, Orochimaru was warning him that, if he continued to become stronger, then Hiruzen would not be able to control him, and Hiruzen's attitude towards him would gradually change.

Furthermore, even if Hiruzen would continue to trust him, what would happen to Danzo and the other two from the council, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane?

Once Naito was strong enough to threaten Hiruzen's position as Hokage, even if Hiruzen himself didn't care, Danzo, Koharu and Homura would not stand idly by.

When this thought flashed in Naito's mind, he shook his head slightly.

In fact, Naito didn't really care about that, because he knew very well that his strength wasn't increasing slowly, but by leaps and bounds.

Next time, he would become much stronger!

With the opening of the Fourth Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko Hachimon, Naito would not be afraid of Kage level ninja, and although he would not dare to say that he was invincible under Super-Kage level, he would basically have the qualifications to travel the ninja world without any problems.

At that point, Konoha would no longer be able to contain him.

Naito got straight to the point: "What is your purpose?"

He knew Orochimaru wouldn't go that far just to remind him.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Actually, I'm really interested in the Kusanagi sword, but now I'm more interested in you."

A hint of coldness appeared on Naito's face when he heard these words, suddenly, Orochimaru opened his mouth and spat out a scroll, the scroll fell to the ground and rolled a couple of times, then stopped in front of Naito.

Seeing Orochimaru's actions, Naito frowned, not understanding what Orochimaru meant.

"Inside the scroll is something you need, think of it as a small gift from me, or compensation for attacking you for no reason, but of course, that's all I'll give you," after saying these words, Orochimaru turned around and walked away quickly, and as he did so, an indescribable smile appeared on his face.

As he watched Orochimaru walk away, Naito shook his head and then looked at the scroll at his feet.

What was it that he needed?

What could it be? another Kusanagi sword?

Naito smiled, knowing that was impossible.

Still, Naito ended up opening the scroll with the tip of his Kusanagi sword.

Although a scroll could not harm him, this scroll was spat out from Orochimaru's mouth, so Naito did not want to touch it with his hands.

However, upon seeing the contents of the scroll, Naito froze.

It was really what he needed the most!

The Second Stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode!

As he had already mastered the First Stage, Naito was sure that the training method of the Second Stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode was correct.

At the end of the second stage, there was specific information on how you can also obtain the third and final stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode.

"Orochimaru... What's going on in your head and what exactly do you want?", For the first time, Naito realized that the people in the anime were very difficult to understand, especially Orochimaru.

Naito didn't know how Orochimaru got his hands on this scroll, but it was obvious that Konoha had no information from the scroll, otherwise they would have given it to him long ago.

Instead of giving the scroll to Konoha, it had been given to him.

This was something incredible, and Naito had never thought that the Second Stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode would end up in his hands like this.

"Forget it, if I can't understand it, I won't think about it, I'll just take a good look at this scroll when I have time to train," Naito looked in the direction where Orochimaru went, then shook his head slightly and immediately wiped the scroll before putting it away.

Although he had obtained the Lightning Element Chakra Mode Second Stage training method, he didn't have time to train right now.

The decisive battle is approaching.

...

The ninjas of Iwagakure were gathering, almost all of them were summoned, while the ninjas of Sunagakure were also gathering.

However, the Sunagakure ninja ran into some trouble when they were gathering and got into a fight with the Amegakure ninja.

This was exactly what Iwagakure and Konoha wanted to see.

At this point, the rain country was in complete chaos!

All the way back to the camp, Naito did not meet Orochimaru again, it seems he took another route back.

At this point, the atmosphere in the camp was very heavy.

All the ninja were in full preparation to either attack or defend.

Everyone's expression was very serious.

They all knew that a decisive battle was coming, and that the number of ninja they would face would be at least a thousand.

Against such a number, not even the Jounins dared to pretend to come out of the war unscathed, let alone the Genins.

Genins, basically, were cannon fodder.

However, the number of Genins was not really very large, the largest being the number of Chuunins, the Genins would be the group with the second largest number and the Jounins the third largest group.

After returning to the Konoha camp, Naito went to Sakumo to learn the plan for this decisive battle, as Naito's status was higher than that of a normal Anbu.

However, what he did not expect was an order he received from Hiruzen.

He chose Naito to fight on the front line of the battle, but as Naito, the Genin, not as the Anbu of the special squad, "Yujin".

Naito was very surprised to hear this order.

The reason he was surprised was that once he exercised the power of his Kekkei Genkai, his identity was destined to be revealed, and once he participated in the front line, the Anbu with the codename 'Yujin' would no longer exist.

Why did Hiruzen make this decision?
