Chapter 565

"Damn it! What is this brat talking about! He actually looks down on the Hokage!" Naruto yelled angrily, and Sasuke seized the opportunity to taunt him: "After all, he has such an unreliable father, the Hokage, isn't it normal for him to hate the Hokage?"

"Hmph! Your vision is as bad as this brat, not even as good as your daughter! Um... By the way, you are not jealous, Sasuke?"

"It seems that you can't wait to die, the last one!"

[On the other side, Karin completed the mission and returned to the snake cave. After listening to Suigetsu's description of Sarada's situation, she immediately retorted with a stinky face: "Ha! How is this possible! Sarada is Sasuke and Sakura's biological daughter!"]

["Then... that umbilical cord..."]

["It's Sarada and Sakura's! Sakura and Sasuke were traveling together before, and Sarada happened to be born in my base during the trip. It was me who gave birth to Sarada. Helped her deliver the baby!"]

[Hearing this, Suigetsu showed an embarrassed expression and quickly changed the subject: "Is it true? Don't you always talk about Sasuke..."]

["Idiot, as long as Sasuke can be happy, I will be satisfied! And there is friendship between women and men..." Karin responded with an open-minded look, and Suigetsu's mind was full of how to escape from here, and she casually said: "Really, is that true? In other words, you have completely given up your feelings for Sasuke..."]

["You really don't understand at all, there are various forms of ties between people... And Suigetsu, you bastard! Apologize to Sarada! By the way, buy her a pair of new glasses, the ones you gave her before were too small!"]

[Sarada smiled brightly, and the last picture was fixed on the photo of the family of three in front of her.]

[Love, presented here. 】

["What a misunderstanding! Why keep someone else's umbilical cord as a souvenir!"]

["Karin has a really good mentality. She has completely forgotten that Sasuke once wanted to kill her."]

["So the problem is not all with Suigetsu. Look at how guilty he is."]

Sugetsu, who was looking at the sky, couldn't hold it in any longer: "Hey! Can you put the blame on me?!"

Karin: "If not you, who else can I blame! If you hadn't been nosy, would things have become so complicated!"

"You are the one with the problem, perverted girl! What do you want to do by keeping someone else's mother and daughter's umbilical cord? And you say it's like a part of your own body. I can't imagine what you are planning!"

"Suigetsu! You are looking for death!"

"It's over..." Looking at the sky curtain that was silent again, Jiraiya picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said to Itachi across the table: "Next, we will rest in this town for two days. Itachi, you contact the village to see if there are any new arrangements, and then we will continue on the road."

Hearing this, Naruto immediately showed a reluctant expression. Seeing this, Jiraiya patted his shoulder and explained: "Don't show this expression, it's just a daily contact with the village. Our travel plan is likely to remain unchanged. After all, the content revealed by the sky curtain today , either we have already mastered it, or it is too far away from us, so don't worry about being affected. "

"Okay, cheer up! You want to become a Hokage, you don't want to be compared to yourself on the sky curtain!"

"You don't need me to say that!" Naruto swept away his depressed mood, stood up and pointed at Sasuke and said, "Come on, Sasuke! Let's go outside the town to compete, let you experience the power of the future Hokage!"

"Humph! I couldn't ask for it! See how I knock you down, the future Hokage!"

........................................................................................................................................................

Two days later, the four continued on their way.

Since Jiraiya had not told them the specific information of the person they were looking for, Naruto and Sasuke could not calm down without knowing the exact target. If they could not feel the growth of their strength, they would even mistakenly think that this trip was just an ordinary trip.

Seven days passed like this, and just when Naruto thought they would return empty-handed in the River Country, Jiraiya led them to find their target - Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru!" Naruto's face changed slightly and he immediately took a defensive action. Sasuke also frowned and his body tensed slightly., to ensure that they would be able to support Itachi at a distance the moment the battle started.

The dark yellow snake pupils glanced at the two, but Orochimaru ignored them, sticking out his tongue and looking at Jiraiya and Itachi wearing a mask, sneering and saying: "You are very brave, Jiraiya... Bringing these people to find me, aren't you afraid that I will arrest them all!"

"Oh, long time no see, and you threaten me as soon as you open your mouth, Orochimaru... Let's not talk about whether you can spare me from attacking Naruto and the others, the one next to me is very powerful, and it's not a problem to even knock you down in return!"

Jiraiya patted Itachi's shoulder and signaled, Orochimaru stared at Itachi and smiled sinisterly: "Itachi ?... You got this conclusion by referring to the contents of the sky curtain, right? Why don't you try it now to see whether I will be defeated by you or can capture the Nine-tailed Imp and Sasuke under your protection. "

As Orochimaru said this, he made a hand seal gesture, and Jiraiya stopped him immediately: "Wait! Wait! It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously! I came to you for a serious matter."

"Oh...Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, actually came to talk to me, a rebel, about serious matters. I'm quite curious." The malice in Orochimaru's tone remained, but the movement of his hands stopped.

"Huh~ I brought some things that you should be interested in. In exchange, I want to ask you for help with something next." Jiraiya raised the scroll in his hand and said: "Also, this is the order of the village, not my own decision."

Although he said so, Orochimaru knew as soon as he heard it that this must have been Jiraiya's first suggestion.

After all, apart from Jiraiya, there would be no one else in Konoha who would consider cooperating with him.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru stared at Jiraiya for a while, then smiled maliciously and said, "Then follow me, I want to see what you want to do..."
