When Katsuragi and Jiraiya returned to Konoha with the animal path and the Shura way, nothing happened in the village, except for Naruto Kakashi and his party, who were looking for Sasuke's return.

"Did you find Sasuke?"

After visiting Hinata and returning to the place that Tsunade had arranged for the Shikigami to be arranged, Katsuragi asked about Ichimoku Ren and the Sake Swallow Boy.

"Found it."

Ichimoku nodded at first, and then said to Katsura with some guilt, "But we didn't succeed in bringing him back." ”

"You didn't solve the Great Snake Pill with the Wine Swallowing Boy?"

Katsuragi is a little strange, although Ichimoku Ren and the Wine Swallowing Boy may not be able to kill Orochimaru, but it should be possible to defeat him, in this case, even if he is hard tied, Sasuke can be caught back.

"The one called Orochimaru and Yakushi Dou, the two of them summoned a large group of undead people to come out." Ichimoku explained to Katsuragi, "They pestered me and the sake swallowing boy, so they didn't bring Sasuke back in the end. ”

"I'm sorry, Katsuragi, for disappointing you."

Looking at a glance with a look of self-blame, Katsura Mu hurriedly waved his hand and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not your fault, you've done enough, it's that I didn't take this into account." ”

Then Katsuragi began to ponder, in the original book, Yakushi Dou was the one who took the technique of reincarnation of the filthy earth to the extreme, but that was after the death of Orochimaru, he completed the transformation of himself and was about to start the four wars.

But now that Xiao hasn't even started the plan, the Filthy Earth Reincarnation has already begun to improve, which makes him feel that it should be his own influence.

Dou watched him go to the underworld through the reincarnation of the Filthy Earth, and with his relationship with Orochimaru, it was impossible not to tell Orochimaru about it, and Orochimaru was jealous of him and more curious, so it was absolutely possible to deepen the study of the art of Filthy Earth Reincarnation.

"I'm going to have to take a moment to see what the art is now."

Katsuragi thought silently in his heart, Dou himself is a very smart person, otherwise he can't always improve the reincarnation of the filthy soil, and Orochimaru's wisdom will only be above Dou, not weaker than him.

Therefore, when these two people are together, it is very likely that the technique of reincarnation of filthy earth will be improved even more terrifying than the original book.

But thankfully, Sasuke hasn't been taken away by Orochimaru, which makes Katsuragi feel a lot more relieved, after all, things have changed so much, and it's not impossible for Orochimaru to improve the reincarnation of the corpse and shorten the cooldown time or something.

After saying hello to the Kazuki gods, Katsuragi planned to go and see Naruto, and as soon as he returned to the village, he went directly to check the status of Hinata and Hanabi, so it was not clear how Naruto was doing.

When he came to Naruto's house, there was not a single light in the room, Katsuragi sensed it, found that there was no one in the room, thought about where Naruto might go now, and then came to the Dead Forest, and not long after, he found Naruto in a training ground.

"Sasuke, how did he reply to you?"

From the treetops, Katsuragi looked condescendingly at Naruto who was cultivating and asked.

"Katsuragi!?"

Naruto raised his head, and when he saw Katsuragi, his expression recovered a little, and said, "You're back, and Tsunade said that you went on a very important mission with the lustful immortal, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's done." Katsuragi jumped down from the tree, patted Naruto on the shoulder, and continued to ask, "What about you guys, how is Sasuke doing now?" ”

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Naruto fell silent, and then said in disappointment, "He's changed, he's become very cold, not like him at all." ”

"Ugh."

Katsuragi sighed, close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, this sentence is not unreasonable, staying by Orochimaru's side for so long, if Sasuke does not change, he will feel strange.

"Katsuragi, I still don't understand." Naruto raised his head in confusion, looked at the starry sky, and asked softly, "Sasuke said that he chose Orochimaru because of his strength and in order to know the truth of all this." ”

"What truth is he looking for?"

Looking at Naruto's confused look, Katsuragi replied, "You know that all of Sasuke's clansmen were killed by his brother, and he wants to know why Itachi did this, so he is crazy about his pursuit of strength." ”

"Then why don't you stay in Konoha?" Naruto turned his head, looked at Katsuragi, and asked even more confusedly, "Kakashi-sensei is so good to him, and you have been helping him, why do you have to defect to that Orochimaru!?" ”

"I don't understand."

Katsura Mu said angrily, then sighed again, and guessed: "Maybe he's too anxious!" ”

"Impatient!?"

Naruto looked puzzled.

"If you improve your strength in Konoha, you can only improve step by step, little by little, Sasuke is afraid, he is worried that he will never be able to surpass Itachi who is better than him." Katsuragi found a clean place to sit down, and continued:

"After all, while he is improving, Itachi may also be improving, Itachi's strength is stronger than him, and his talent is better than him, if he goes through the normal way, he may feel that he will not be able to surpass Itachi in his life."

"Then can you follow Orochimaru?"

"Although Orochimaru's strength is not the strongest, he is almost unmatched in the ninja world in terms of techniques and body modification research, do you remember that he put a spell mark on Sasuke at the beginning."

Naruto, of course, didn't forget, nodded and said, "The one around the neck." ”

"That spell mark can greatly increase Sasuke's strength in an instant, although it is very harmful, but no one in Konoha can do it, even if there is a similar outbreak of ninjutsu, it will take many years to cultivate."

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Naruto fell silent again, he could feel Sasuke's loneliness, but he couldn't feel his desire to pursue strength for revenge, the reason why he pursued strength was to be recognized by everyone and become the Hokage.

"Is revenge really that important to him?" Naruto muttered to himself.

"He's actually an idiot." Hearing Naruto's muttering, Katsuragi said angrily, "I've already helped him investigate a lot of things, and I've told him that there's something hidden here, and we'll help him." ”

"But this guy is still so stubborn, he has to think about solving it himself."

"Katsuragi, do you know about the Sasuke family?" Naruto looked at Katsuragi in surprise, and then asked urgently, "Can you tell me?" ”

"In short, there are many hidden secrets in the matter of the Weasel Extermination." Katsuragi sighed, with a little helplessness in his eyes, but he didn't tell Naruto too much, Danzo has now been killed by him, and Sasuke has no chance to find someone to take revenge, and if he says it, there are only three generations that are almost invisible now.

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Naruto was a little disappointed, but he didn't continue to ask, he knew that if he could say it, Katsuragi would definitely tell him.

"What are you going to do next?" Katsuragi looked at Naruto and asked, wondering if Naruto would give up after this blow.

"I'm going to improve my strength and bring Sasuke back!" Naruto replied with a firm face, if he failed once and gave up, he wouldn't be Naruto anymore.
