Chapter 127 » Embracing Darkness Amplifies Power Tenfold, While Redemption Diminishes It Threefold! Sasuke and Naruto's Descent into Villainy: 60% Complete!

[ In the Forest of Death, an intense battle has begun! ]

[ Orochimaru has intimidated Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura with his overwhelming presence. ]

[ As the three stand paralyzed, unsure what to do, Naruto's dark personality suddenly speaks up, "Give your body to me. Only I can help you overcome this situation." ]

[ "But..." ]

[ "Hurry! There's no time to think. Do you want to die here?" The dark personality urges coldly. ]

[ "Alright!" After a moment's hesitation, Naruto's main personality grits his teeth and surrenders control to the dark personality. ]

[ After all, if they can't break through, they might truly be killed! ]

[ Meanwhile, Orochimaru coldly eyes Naruto and Sasuke, fixing his gaze on the latter. One of his main reasons for coming to Konoha is the Uchiha before him. ]

[ "Heh heh..." Suddenly, Naruto's voice becomes extremely deep, a hoarse laugh sending chills down Sasuke and Sakura's spines. ]

[ "Oh? You can actually break free from my restraints?" Orochimaru looks at him with surprise. ]

[ Naruto slowly turns his gaze towards him, his eyes now crimson red instead of azure. He easily breaks through the genjutsu and immediately taps into the Nine-Tails' power! ]

[ Even Kurama is dumbfounded. It never imagined Naruto could suddenly change into a completely different person, let alone freely use its power! ]

[ Crimson chakra bursts forth wildly! Naruto's battle power skyrockets as he unleashes a barrage of attacks against Orochimaru! ]

[ Under this fierce onslaught, the Snake Man retreats step by step. In the end, he can only use the Snake Substitution Technique to escape. ]

[ Naruto Uzumaki's Corruption Progress: 50% ]

[ "Quickly, give me back my body!" Naruto's main personality struggles hard to regain control. ]

[ "You should be thanking me. If it weren't for me, you all would have died here." The dark personality doesn't resist and returns control to the main personality. ]

[ Sasuke's gaze towards Naruto was now filled with intense wariness, confusion, and above all, jealousy. ]

[ 'Why? How could this usual class deadlast suddenly unleash such powerful strength?' He was breathing heavily, questioning himself. ]

[ You quietly leaned against a hidden tree nearby. Seeing Sasuke's current state, you knew the opportunity had ripened. You began to imprint a second personality onto him — the dark personality had already begun to implant itself in his body. ]

[ {Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Uchiha Bloodline, Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and various Fire Release techniques!} ]

[ At this moment, Sasuke felt as if something had awakened within him. The next second, an ice-cold voice resonated in his mind. ]

[ "Look at yourself, Sasuke! You've fallen so low that you need the class deadlast to protect you!" The dark personality spoke. ]

[ "Who's there? Who are you? Who's talking to me?" Sasuke's mind instantly became alert. ]

[ "I am you! I am the voice in your mind, the deepest part of you!" The dark personality continued, "First, I must congratulate you! Finding me is your fortune! Listen to me, and we'll quickly become powerful! We'll easily surpass Naruto! The potential of our Uchiha clan is far from its limit!" ]

[ Sasuke clutched his head. At this time, Naruto had regained clarity and immediately came to check on his and Sakura's injuries. ]

[ "Are you guys alright?" Naruto asked anxiously. ]

[ "We're fine." Sasuke took a deep breath, looking intently at him. ]

[ Yes! He had already far surpassed him! How could the usual class deadlast become so powerful? Why? ]

[ Sasuke Uchiha's Corruption Progress: 50% ]

Observing this, Yusuke couldn't suppress a chuckle.

As expected of Sasuke Uchiha! Truly worthy of being the ninja world's brooding antihero, the second pillar. His corruption progress is actually catching up from behind! He's already on par with Naruto. At this rate, it won't be long before he surpasses the blond boy.

As anticipated from the second pillar! His descent into corruption outpaces everyone else's!

[ The Chunin Exam's central tower test in the Forest of Death concluded. You opted to be defeated, as standing out wasn't necessary. ]

[ Sasuke felt deeply unsettled after witnessing Naruto's impressive display. Despite his rigorous training, he found himself significantly weaker. ]

[ "Sasuke, there's someone powerful who can help you grow stronger." The dark personality had been whispering to Sasuke over the past few days. ]

[ Unlike Naruto, he didn't resist his inner darkness. On the contrary, he embraced it wholeheartedly! ]

[ Having made his decision, Sasuke quietly slipped away to find the Otogakure ninjas in the exam rest areas. Though surprised by his arrival, they agreed to arrange a meeting with Orochimaru. ]

[ That night, in a small courtyard where Sasuke was staying, he waited patiently. Eventually, his target arrived as promised. ]

[ "Choosing me is your honor and fortune." Orochimaru said, unusually excited. He hadn't expected the Uchiha to be so compliant! ]

[ "Don't misunderstand. I chose you, not the other way around." Sasuke retorted coldly. ]

[ "Very well! Let me bestow upon you the power of the Curse Mark." Orochimaru laughed hoarsely. He cared little for Sasuke's words — as long as the boy agreed to be his subordinate, he had absolute means to make him his vessel! ]

[ As the Curse Mark's power seeped into Sasuke's body, Orochimaru grinned viciously, "Now, your survival depends on fate." ]

[ After his departure, Sasuke, who had feigned pain, immediately dropped his act. Under the dark personality's control, the Curse Mark's supposed suppression powers were inconsequential. ]

[ Simultaneously, his eyes underwent a transformation, directly activating the Three-Tomoe Sharingan! ]

Observing this, Yusuke clicked his tongue once again.

'As expected of turning evil! As the saying goes, 'Embracing Darkness Amplifies Power Tenfold, While Redemption Diminishes It Threefold'. This phrase is indeed correct.'

Inside the swaying carriage.

After seeing Yusuke casually looking up and seeming lost in thought, Mikoto curiously asked, "Master, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, Yusuke lowered his head. Looking at her lying on top of him so casually, almost like an octopus unwilling to let go, he pinched her fair and smooth cheek.

"Nothing much… Mikoto." He thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "You're quite a woman, you know? Because of that, I want to reward you for your efforts."

After saying this, Yusuke waved his hand. He directly spent 500,000 Villain Points to purchase a pink potion of "Eternal Youth."

When the pink potion bottle appeared in his hand, Mikoto couldn't help but widen her eyes. She looked at the bottle with great curiosity.

"Master... What kind of potion is this? It's not... that kind..." As she spoke, her face began to blush.

"Of course not." Yusuke grinned, "Do you think we need that kind of potion? Don't overthink it. This is a potion of eternal youth. Once you drink it, your youth will never fade. Give it a try."

After he finished speaking, he handed the potion to her.

Mikoto nodded gently. Without hesitation, she opened the bottle and drank it all at once.

"Aren't you afraid it might be poison?" Yusuke clicked his tongue.

"If Master wanted to kill me, I would have been dead long ago." Mikoto smacked her lips, savoring the taste, "Mmm... It's quite sweet."

Just as she finished speaking, suddenly she felt her body becoming incredibly hot!

Pink energy began to wash through her! At this moment, all the cells in her body became active. And they would forever remain in their youngest, peak state!

Meanwhile, Mikoto was shocked as she felt the changes in her. Not only did her skin become more delicate, but her mentality also seemed to grow more cheerful. Her whole body exuded a youthful and vibrant aura!

This transformation — she naturally knew better than anyone else what it meant.

"Mmm... Master! This, this is..." Mikoto looked at Yusuke with great excitement.

Eternal youth! Who could resist such a gift?

"This is what you deserve. After all, among everyone, you are the only one who treats me with affection and love. I am very pleased with you, my dear Mikoto." Yusuke smiled gently.

"...Mmm." Mikoto lowered her head slightly, her face blushing as she said, "I... I've already given my heart to you long ago, Master~"

"I know." He laughed.

It was precisely because of this that Mikoto could enjoy benefits that other women couldn't. Unless they also performed exceptionally well, they might not have this chance.

Afterwards, Yusuke lay back on the bed and continued the Life Simulation.

[ Ding! Life Simulation continues! ]

[ Sasuke effortlessly tamed the power of the Cursed Seal of Heaven in just one day, completely transforming it into his own! With his dark personality's mental enhancement, his strength is increasing rapidly. Even the process of learning Chidori from Kakashi has been greatly accelerated! ]

[ In fact, after a mere two weeks, Sasuke has already begun learning an even more formidable technique than Chidori — the Lightning Cutter! ]

[ Meanwhile, Naruto hasn't been idle. Under the influence of his dark personality, he's been engaged in a constant internal struggle. This conflict has indirectly pushed his main personality's corruption progress to 60%! ]

[ Sasuke's corruption progress has likewise reached 60%! ]

[ Now, the much-anticipated final selection round of the Chunin Exam is about to begin! After more than a month of intense training, both Sasuke and Naruto's abilities have improved dramatically! ]

[ This time, Sasuke is present and accounted for. All participating ninjas have gathered, and the event is finally set to commence! ]
