"Sure enough, No. 1, it seems that the plot has twisted back." Looking at the results of the draw in his hand, Naruto raised an eyebrow.

At this time, the qualifiers have all been clear, and the 20-person qualifiers, after ten rounds of 1v1 competition, finally produced nine people.

That's right, because of the spicy-eyed duel between Sakura and Ino, both of them were eliminated, so there will be a 20-person game, but the qualifiers are odd and strange.

Otherwise, why does Naruto always complain about the inertia of fate, obviously he and Hinata, as well as Ningji and Ya, their opponents in this qualifier are different from the plot, but the promotion result is the same, and in the final draw, he unexpectedly got the No. 1.

In this way, after everyone has drawn lots, the battle table for the main match is clear at a glance.

The main competition is also a knockout system, but unlike the qualifiers, there is only one winner in the main competition, so the nine of them are divided into two halves, No. 1-4 is one and a half, No. 5-9 is a half-zone, and finally the winner of each half of the zone competes for the championship.

Temari was drawn as the number 7, so she had a bye in the first round, and she will compete with the winner between Shikamaru and the bandage man Toth for a place in the semifinals.

"Luckily, I can play one less round, how do I remember that her first opponent was Shikamaru?" Naruto looked at the battle table that Mori Noi Biki showed them, and scratched his head in confusion, wondering if there was another plot accident.

Actually, here is his memory is not accurate, Toth did not appear in the main game a month later for special reasons, this guy took the initiative to provoke me Airo in the offseason, and was directly killed by Panda Eyes.

"It's exactly what I want, whether it's the previous thing, or Xiao Li, our accounts can be settled together this time." After confirming that his opponent in the first round was Naruto, Ning Ji took the initiative to come over to him and said, without waiting for him to react, he directly left him with the back of his head and turned away, which made Naruto feel inexplicable.

"......" Naruto was speechless.

Unlike the original plot, Ning Ci in this world seems to have a natural hostility towards him, and he doesn't know when he provoked this guy.

"Brother-in-law...... It's not going to be a sister control. After thinking for a moment, Naruto guessed in his heart.

To say that in terms of interpersonal relationships, he and the original Naruto seem to be no different except for the intimacy with the little girl, could it be that Ningji is jealous?

"It's impossible, it's impossible, the eldest brother-in-law should still be at the stage of resenting the Zong family all day long, I must be thinking too much." Thinking that the duel between his brother-in-law and Hinata in the plot was not much lighter than the current Iara, he quickly tried to eliminate the ridiculous thoughts that just popped up in his mind.

……

At the same time, in the courtyard where the Ninja were staying, Orochimaru, dressed in a yukata and wearing long black hair, was leaning against the gazebo with his back, listening to a Konoha dressed in front of him and reporting something to him.

“…… Above, in addition, Lord Tuanzang also specially instructed that I hope that adults can go to the old place to meet after today's demon moment. The man dressed in the dark of Konoha knelt down on one knee and said at the end with a straight look.

Judging by his words and deeds, this should be the root person.

"Hehe, the old place, it's okay, I haven't seen an old friend for a long time, you go back and tell him, I'll be on time." Orochimaru said with his trademark smile after listening to what the man said.

"Yes, humblely retired." This ninja of the root, after receiving Orochimaru's affirmative reply, nodded yes, and then the whole person was blurred for a while, and left with an instantaneous technique.

After the man left, Orochimaru looked at the fish swimming in the koi pond in the courtyard, smiled lightly and said into the air, "How long are you going to hide there?" Pouch. ”

With Orochimaru's hoarse voice, in the shadows of the courtyard corridor, a figure suddenly appeared, it was Yakushidou.

"No way, I'm still Konoha Shinobi after all, it's not good to be seen by the people at the root, by the way, Orochimaru-sama is really as sharp as ever, and I'm very confident in my breathing technique." Dou stepped out of the shadows and came to Orochimaru's side, smiling in his gentle voice as always.

"Hehe......" Orochimaru looked up at Dou when he heard this, staring at each other with his snake-like fishy yellow eyes, just like a snake looking at its prey, and only after a while did he say again: "Forget about compliments, this is not for you, Dou, let's talk about your thoughts on the invitation of Tuan Zang." ”

If ordinary people are stared at like this, I am afraid that they will either tremble and pee their pants or have a dry mouth and can't speak, only their faces are as usual, as if their hearts are calm and pure, loyal and selfless, which is also the reason why Orochimaru has many subordinates, but he only looks at him differently.

"This is not a compliment, but a genuine compliment, Orochimaru-sama." Dou pushed down his glasses and smiled, and then his face turned pale, and he replied, "As for Danzo's invitation, if my subordinates didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid it's for Naruto-kun." ”

Naruto's resurrection from the dead, not only the top level of Konoha , with the passage of time in the past two days, it is no longer a secret at all, and Orochimaru naturally knew about it for the first time, at this time, after listening to Dou's analysis, Orochimaru stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, thinking about something in his head.

"It seems that you and I have come together, the secret of immortality, hehe, how can that kind of guy ignore it, that guy who claims to have all the power in his hands." Orochimaru said with undisguised greed in his eyes.

He now had to admit that Naruto's surprise to him was something he couldn't stop, far beyond his peers' fighting abilities, wisdom to discern his purpose in advance, and the miracle of resurrection.

All of this added up, and during this time, he didn't even pay much attention to Sasuke, whom he had coveted for a long time, and what he wanted to know now was Naruto's secrets more than Sharingan.

No one was more shocked to learn that Naruto had come back from the dead, because it was he who had pierced Naruto's heart with his Kusanagi sword with his own hands, so he knew better than anyone what this miracle meant.

It's not the reincarnation of the dirt, and it's not a special stand-in technique like he is good at, but a real resurrection, in Orochimaru's opinion, Naruto easily achieved half of his life's pursuit, the "immortality" of immortality.

If it weren't for the fact that Konoha had raised the surveillance level to the highest level after the incident, he would probably have been unable to resist rushing to the central tower to grab people.

"Do you want to modify the plan on an ad hoc basis?" Looking at the growing desire in Orochimaru's eyes, as the one who knew him best, he asked at this time.

Since Tuan Zang has come to the door, it means that it is likely that the future plan needs to be adjusted, but fortunately, from the perspective of time, everything should be in time after a month's effort.

"Nope." Unexpectedly, Orochimaru immediately denied his speculation and said, "Don't worry, Tuanzang has what he has to do now, and after taking off the old man's head, it depends on his performance." ”

His Konoha collapse plan is not enough to have his side and Sha Yin, there is no root to cooperate with the leading party, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to hit Konoha's defense system in the first place, and Tuan Zang has not yet proven its value with him, he is not a person who will cooperate with him to be led by the nose.

Moreover, in his eyes, no matter how much he coveted Naruto's secrets, it was not as good as his long-cherished wish for half his life to completely destroy this Konoha completely.

Thinking of himself, Orochimaru looked into the distance through the courtyard, the birds skimmed over the mountains, the warm wind shook the wind chimes, it was quiet and peaceful, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart when he thought of the things in front of him that were about to be destroyed by him.

"Soon, Mr. Ape Fei, I want you to see me devour all the things you have cherished all your life."

……

On the second floor of the apartment, after many days and a lot of things happening, Naruto finally returned to his warm nest again.

"It's been a really exciting few days...... Naruto sat back in his chair, thinking back to what had happened in the past few days, the written test of cheating, the death in the Forest of Death, and the battle with Xiao Li with all his might, all kinds of emotions churning in his mind, and finally turned into deep exhaustion.

However, he didn't regret it, even if he almost lost his soul in the Forest of Death, even if his amazing resurrection might cause Konoha to be suspicious, including openly exposing Spiral Pill in the game, these were nothing compared to letting him be pulled by the plot like a puppet.

After the country of waves, he was fed up with that kind of life, he was Naruto Uzumaki, and it wasn't, he didn't have that much enthusiasm and positive energy, and he didn't need anyone's approval, or that sentence, go to his Hokage dream.

Naruto laughed, picked up the wine he had bought when he came back, and bit the cork off with his teeth, pouring the golden liquor into his glass, he raised it to the air:

“Longmaythesunshine！”
