Becoming a God by Increasing Favorability in Naruto

In the dense forest outside the Land of Fire's Tanzaku Town, Orochimaru and his group unearthed an old underground base.

Inside the base, Tayuya entered and stood with the other three Sound Four members, including Jirobo.

After receiving the Performance Magic Summoning Beast from Furen, Tayuya, who had already fully entrusted herself to him, saw her affection for him skyrocket, reaching 98%. Just a little more, and it would hit 100%, granting Furen another opportunity to take control.

Kabuto walked past them with a tray, saying, "Tomorrow is the last day to meet with Tsunade. Be ready and stop wandering around." After leaving that remark, Kabuto didn't even glance at them and made his way toward Orochimaru's room.

Under the dim candlelight, Orochimaru lay on a bed soaked with the blood of a Sound Ninja he'd just killed while being given medicine.

"Ugh... my body..." Orochimaru groaned in pain, his body trembling from the agony. Ever since the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sealed half of his soul, Orochimaru had been living in constant torment.

"Please take your medicine," Kabuto said as he entered the dimly lit room, carrying a tray with a cup of water and several of his specially prepared pills.

"I don't want to take something with only temporary effects..." Orochimaru raised his head to look at Kabuto, his eyes filled with bloodlust due to the intense pain, craving blood to numb his suffering.

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, unfazed by Orochimaru's murderous gaze. "This is my own concoction. It should alleviate your pain." He hesitated for a moment, then added, "Orochimaru-sama, I still think it won't be easy to convince Tsunade..."

Orochimaru didn't respond, only letting out a sinister laugh.

In Tanzaku Town, Furen had switched into his Konoha ninja attire, ready to find Tsunade and her group.

As he stepped into the crowd, he spotted a familiar figure. "Shizune?" Furen called out to the woman holding a small pet pig in her arms.

Hearing her name, Shizune turned to see a ninja she didn't recognize. However, after noticing the Konoha forehead protector he wore, she understood and internally praised his appearance.

"Such a handsome Konoha ninja."

Shizune's affection for you +5%

"Hello," Shizune greeted him politely, bowing slightly.

"I'm Furen of the Moonlit Night, from Team 7 under Kakashi-sensei," Furen introduced himself.

"Team 7? Are you in the same squad as Naruto?" Shizune asked, suddenly recalling something.

"Yes," Furen confirmed.

Shizune gasped, covering her mouth in surprise. "You're the one who became a Special Jonin during the Chunin Exams, right?"

"I'm surprised you remember me, Shizune-senpai," Furen replied modestly.

Shizune's affection for you +10%

People with strength are always welcomed and admired, especially by women.

Shizune smiled, "Since you know Naruto, I was actually about to meet him. Want to come along?"

Furen followed Shizune to the inn where Naruto and Jiraiya were resting.

Before Jiraiya could even speak, Naruto rushed up, "Furen, what are you doing here?"

Furen pulled out the B-rank escort mission scroll he'd accepted from the Village of the Hidden Waterfall before leaving Konoha. "I just finished a mission in the Land of Waterfalls. On my way back to Konoha, I ran into Shizune-senpai, and when I heard you and Jiraiya-senpai were here, I decided to drop by."

"Finishing a B-rank mission alone? That's amazing!" Naruto's eyes sparkled as he stared at the mission scroll in Furen's hand.

Jiraiya ruffled Naruto's hair, "Furen's already a Special Jonin. You've got to work hard to keep up with him."

"Yeah!" Naruto shouted, his energy rising. He then proudly displayed the technique he had just learned.

"A-rank ninjutsu—Rasengan!"

"Watch closely, Furen!"

Chakra began swirling rapidly in Naruto's hand, forming into a small, palm-sized blue orb that spun with intense speed.

"Heh, this is an A-rank technique!" Naruto said proudly, flashing a grin at Furen.

Furen stared at the spinning blue Rasengan for a while, seemingly lost in the flow of chakra circulating within it.

"Hey, Furen, what are you doing?" Naruto was about to say more when Jiraiya clamped a hand over his mouth.

"Naruto, don't say anything. Keep the Rasengan rotating," Jiraiya said in a low voice. "Furen is studying how your Rasengan works."

Seeing Jiraiya so serious, Naruto didn't argue and continued to focus on maintaining the Rasengan.

After watching it for a few minutes, Furen extended his hand and began to manipulate his chakra. A Rasengan identical to Naruto's formed in his palm.

In just a few minutes, Furen had completely mastered the technique that had taken the Fourth Hokage three years to develop, using only Naruto's example and his knowledge of the Tailed Beast Ball.

Jiraiya, watching this, nodded in approval, "As expected of Konoha's greatest genius..."

"What?! When did Furen become Konoha's greatest genius?" Naruto looked at Jiraiya in shock.

"If he isn't, then who is? You?" Jiraiya teased, rolling his eyes at Naruto.

Dispersing the Rasengan in his hand, Furen glanced at Jiraiya and thought, "If I remember correctly, tonight is when Tsunade plans to drug and knock Jiraiya out..."

Furen's arrival had been perfectly timed, right at this crucial moment before the breaking point of the Legendary Sannin.
