Naruto's Endless Pretense

Orochimaru made a hand seal with his hands, as if he could activate ninjutsu at any time.However, Sasuke ignored his actions and just removed the right hand holding the knife from Kabuto's neck and raised it high.

"Speaking of which, will I switch to this Nodachi? Thanks to your blessing, I realized that White Fang-senpai cut off the black sword that his son gave me. I was very sad at that time."

Wisps of electric sparks flashed back and forth on Daoxue's blade along with harsh noises, and the fairy mask and black auspicious clouds also appeared on Sasuke's face.Huge chakra exploded around Sasuke, high-voltage current bounced in the air, and the heat generated by the electrical energy turned impurities in the air into plasma.Lines of shimmering blue light swirled in a spiral shape accompanied by chakra flow.Neither Sakon nor Kabuto could withstand the pressure and took two steps back.

"By the way, I haven't introduced this sword to you yet. It's called Snow, and it's 1.5 meters long. It's a rare nodachi. What's important is that its raw material is the Thunder Sword among the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords. Teeth, so it also has that ability.”

Before he finished speaking, Daoxue's blade suddenly shot a dazzling beam of light into the sky.The clouds were split by the beam of light and swirled around it.There was a muffled thunder, and then five bolts of lightning suddenly pierced the sky, splitting the ground a foot around Orochimaru.

"Yes, just like its name, Daoxue, it has the power to control thunder and can be called the God of Thunder."

Sasuke raised the long sword high, and a large amount of senjutsu chakra was continuously introduced into the air through the special material of the blade, transforming the originally non-threatening clouds.The large amount of thunder attribute chakra caused it to undergo qualitative changes, and the muffled thunder seemed like the roar of a rare beast.

In fact, as long as Sasuke wants, he can use the Thunder Release Kirin in the original work at any time.However, this kind of thunder and lightning that does not create cumulonimbus clouds and relies solely on the control of clouds by magical chakra is still much weaker than the magic that is performed with the help of the power of nature in the original work.But even so, its power can be considered as a forbidden technique.

"How about it, do you want to try whether your magic is faster or lightning speed?"

Orochimaru felt the terrifying amount of chakra in the clouds, and then looked at Sasuke who was at ease.In the end, he chose to compromise and formed a seal sideways to open the door of the stronghold.

"Sasuke-kun always brings me surprises. It's just the cells of the first Hokage. It's not a rare thing. I'll give it to you as a gift."

After Sasuke saw Orochimaru giving in, he no longer maintained his ninjutsu.He dispersed the thunder attribute chakra on the snow and put it back into the psychic diagram. The thunder clouds in the sky gradually returned to their original appearance because they were not transformed by the magical chakra.Under the leadership of Orochimaru, Sasuke and Sakon quickly entered the stronghold.

Orochimaru's stronghold is hidden deep down, like a snake's lair, which is also in line with his full snake attribute setting.Walking in this cold and damp tunnel, Sasuke always felt very uncomfortable, as if he was being targeted by a predator in the dark.

Orochimaru and Sasuke walked side by side, seemingly treating him as his equal.But the interested eyes and the tongue that stuck out from time to time made Sasuke increasingly wary.

"By the way, why would Sasuke-kun want the cells of the First Hokage? The First Hokage is Tsunade's grandfather. Unlike people like me who have fallen out with Konoha, you won't do this without any important reason. One step?" Orochimaru asked in a deep voice.

"There's no important reason, I'm just interested and want to study it."

Facing Orochimaru's questions, Sasuke seemed very calm.For example, obtaining first-generation cells is a simple matter.But Orochimaru became excited after hearing this.

"Oh? If so, does Sasuke want to get my immortality technique? As long as he masters this technique, he will have enough time to master all ninjutsu and exhaust all the truths in the world."

"What?" Sasuke couldn't help laughing. "You don't want to

Has it reached my body?This is the Sharingan you have dreamed of. "

"No, my desire for the Sharingan is still strong. But after reincarnation, the soul will have a weak period of three years and cannot change the container again. So I won't take action against Sasuke-kun for the time being." Orochimaru shook his head and denied, There was a hint of hope in his eyes.

"It's just rare to meet someone who also likes research and I'm a little excited. And I'm very curious about what Sasuke-kun, who is a genius far beyond me, can achieve."

Sasuke paused upon hearing this and looked at Orochimaru with some pity.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in eternal life, and I'm different from you. I'm just purely interested in the power of Wood Release, so I want to get Hashirama's cells."

There are many means of immortality in the world of Naruto.There is the danger of earthly resentment that transforms oneself, and the reincarnation of the corpse that seizes the bodies of others.If you are unwilling to harm others, you can also work towards the direction of the Sage of Six Paths to achieve a form of existence where chakra lasts forever.Or simply eat the fruit of the sacred tree and become an existence like Kaguya that cannot be killed.

But Sasuke does not long for eternal life, he just wants to get the life he expects.The human heart is insufficient, and eternal life will only lead to greater greed.In the endless river of time, can you endure the people you know gradually grow old and die?Can you endure countless separations between life and death?

Imagine if you were about to die, what would you do?Some people may collapse, while others may be open-minded.In the last moments of life, it will be a mixture of various human brilliance and primitive desires.Then everything will return to nothingness, and you will only sigh about the meaning of this life.

And so it is with eternal life.You will no longer have hope, and you will no longer have the growth brought about by disappointment.Because there is a lot of time, no matter what, I can achieve my previous wishes and goals.Gradually, the mind will not be able to keep up with the pace of the body and will begin to decay, become empty, and lose the meaning of existence.

The so-called extremes usually have similarities.Choosing eternal life actually means choosing meaningless death.

After gaining great power, perhaps Sasuke can gain the ability to live forever.But if this is the case, it represents the inevitable numbness of the soul and indifference to worldly things.Because I have seen so much of everything, I don’t care anymore.Once the mind becomes numb and empty, people will become empty and powerful gods.

And gods are not humans after all.Sasuke only longs for people's happiness, enough touching, and enough bitterness.It is enough to have close friends and experience ups and downs with the people you like.

Orochimaru wants to pursue the truth in the world. This may be an eternal proposition that can support him to continue to live.But on the contrary, he will also become lonely and indifferent.What will happen to Orochimaru when Tsunade and others die?

Sasuke didn't know, he only knew that there was loneliness and loneliness in Orochimaru's eyes that could hardly be noticed by others.He may not have any companions on his path.

"What a pity, but this way I can take Sasuke-kun's body without any worries."

Orochimaru chuckled miserably, then stopped.

"We're here, Kimimaro's room."

Sasuke opened the door.Kimimaro looked like a corpse on the hospital bed, his face covered with a white cloth, and various tubes inserted into his body. His expression was painful but fervent and determined, and he still did not give up the desire to live.

"You're finally here." Kimimaro said with difficulty.

"Ah, here I am."

Sasuke took the white coat from Sakon and put it on, took out a magatama earring from his pocket and played with it.The blue magatama was thrown up and down, shining with crystal luster.It seemed like the radiance of the moon, but also like the contempt of the gods.

"Get everyone out of here, Kabuto you too. Staying here will only get in the way. I can handle Kimimaro's illness by myself."
