Naruto, the time-traveling Naruto has an incredible understanding!.

Inside Konoha.

In the laboratory.

Orochimaru, who was always extremely confident whenever he stood here, now frowned.

And in front of Orochimaru was Jiraiya who was in a huge nutrition cabin.

Jiraiya's body no longer had any injuries at this time.

However, his body was still full of tubes and his eyes were closed.

"Still not working?"

Tsunade also came here and looked at Orochimaru's condition, although she did not show much emotional fluctuation.

But she knew that this was the greatest expression of Orochimaru's emotion.

"His injuries are not just physical."

"Although I can use some means to make him fully awake."

"Can……"

"If you do that, it's very likely that he will lose part of his memory, or even his personality."

"So, I want to continue...working hard."

Orochimaru spoke somewhat helplessly.

With Orochimaru's current means, if he wants to resurrect a person... as long as that person has a cell still alive, Orochimaru can do it.

but……

This method of resurrection is actually equivalent to using this cell to re-cultivate life.

Through some special means and resources, the growth rate of life can be greatly accelerated.

There is only one drawback to this kind of training.

That is, the person who reappears will lose too many things.

The biggest problem here lies in the soul.

Although Orochimaru had also done research on the soul, he had not done it to this extent.

"let it go."

"Jiraiya didn't regret the choice he made."

"There is no need for us to force it."

"Wait for Naruto and Sasuke to return to the village and ask them if there are any other solutions."

Tsunade nodded.

After looking up at Jiraiya again, he turned and left.

After Tsunade left, Orochimaru still stood there.

"It seems that we can only try that method."

"if you can……"

Orochimaru said, pulling out a mask.

Then, as if he had made a decision, he put the mask on his face.

The body began to tremble.

Then, they started dancing.

"Buzz!"

When Orochimaru stopped dancing, a wave of vibrations came from his body.

The next moment, a huge shadow appeared behind Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru."

"The ninja of Konoha."

"You, calling me out, do you know the price?!"

A voice slowly came from the phantom of the god of death.

"The price of the soul."

"However, this body is not mine. It only contains my consciousness."

"So, I called you out not for a deal, but for cooperation."

"I heard something from Naruto. If you are willing to help me with this, then we in Konoha will definitely recommend you."

Orochimaru was not clear about the details of what Naruto and Sasuke were going to do.

But the general direction is known.

The Grim Reaper in front of him looked very ferocious and a little weird.

But, he had heard Naruto mention that the so-called God was also among their mission targets.

It was only because of this news that Orochimaru decided to give it a try.

"Recommend me?"

"Orochimaru, you may have misunderstood something."

"Neither of them would make me make such a concession."

"If you have nothing else to do, then I will take this consciousness of yours away."

It was obvious that the Grim Reaper had no great interest in such an exchange.

"In that case, please take my consciousness away."

"excuse me."

"Master Death, come on."

Orochimaru didn't continue speaking.

He raised his hand and prepared to take off his mask.

"Wait, what do you need me to help you with?!"

Just when Orochimaru's hand was about to be placed on the mask, the Grim Reaper interrupted him.

"I need to know how to repair the wounds of the soul."

"It's not me. I am quite satisfied with my current state."

"What I want to repair is his soul."

Orochimaru pointed to where Jiraiya was.

Of course, this cooperation is not just about saving Jiraiya.

If Orochimaru could have the ability to touch souls just once, perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could master this ability.

This is a huge breakthrough for Orochimaru's research.

"Repair the soul?"

"What you want is not to repair the soul, but to snatch the power of the soul from this world."

"However, I do have the means to do this kind of thing."

"But, I can't do it."

Death spoke with some sarcasm.

It is obvious that the God of Death wants to increase his bargaining chips at this time.

"Sir Death, you may have misunderstood something."

"This is a ninja from Konoha and also my best friend."

"He is very important to me."

"If Lord Death wants to get something from me, then this can be used as a valuable asset."

"Can……"

"What you want now is not what I have, but the power of Naruto and Sasuke."

"So, I can't give you a choice."

Orochimaru looked sincere.

It was as if he was telling the god of death that one plus one really could only equal two.

The Grim Reaper was speechless for a moment.

Because he did have such a thought just now.

But, it was directly exposed by Orochimaru. Doesn’t the God of Death have any face?

So, both of them fell silent.

Orochimaru has already revealed all his cards, and the God of Death is unwilling to agree to it.

After a while.

"I can promise you, but I need something from you..."

"Let me leave the mark of death on your body."

"This way, you can use some of my power."

"I won't put any restrictions on you."

"Of course, the senjutsu chakra in your body that belongs to the Ryuchido Cave will not be affected."

"How about it, can you agree?!"

Death stated his request calmly.

but……

There was a hint of expectation in these words.

"it is good!"

Orochimaru didn't hesitate.

Although he knew that the God of Death would definitely be able to get something from him.

But these are not important!

"Then, the next thing is up to you to do."

"remember."

"The abilities you are using now may be hated by this world."

"So... don't use this method lightly."

"If the backlash is too great, your own soul will be devoured as well."

"I'll cover it up for you this time."

After the Grim Reaper finished speaking, the shadow slowly turned into nothingness and disappeared.

As the shadow disappeared, a large amount of information appeared in Orochimaru's mind.

At the same time, a gray-black aura also merged into Orochimaru's body...
