Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Jiraiya: Congratulations, Orochimaru!
"What the hell!?"
"Is Sasuke out of his damn mind?"
"I was just joking, did he really have to go all out like that?!"
Naruto dragged the corpses of everyone present and neatly arranged them in a row.
Just now, Sasuke had activated his ultimate move with zero delay, and everyone at the scene was killed, even Orochimaru couldn't react in time.
And just like that, the entire Otogakure's hideout was blown to smithereens.
If Naruto hadn't protected everyone's bodies, they wouldn't even have a chance to be revived.
Looking at the lifeless bodies of Kabuto, Kimimaro, Jugo, and the others, and then looking at Sasuke and Karin, Naruto scratched his chin, then suddenly grinned mischievously.
He placed Sasuke's corpse right next to Orochimaru's, then positioned their child snugly between them.
"Hmm..."
"A family should stay together."
After doing all this, Naruto pulled out a stack of Totems of Undying and placed one in front of each person.
10 seconds later, with a burst of golden light, Orochimaru was the first to sit up.
"Uzumaki Naruto?"
"What just... happened?"
Orochimaru stood up and asked in confusion. He felt like he'd just had an incredibly long dream.
In the dream, he wandered through a mist-filled realm.
This was an experience he had never had before.
"Oh, you guys just got injured."
In order to avoid being entangled by Medusa, Naruto calmly lied through his teeth.
After all, he really didn't want to be forced into fatherhood like Sasuke.
"Is that so?"
Orochimaru smiled, skeptical but choosing not to press further.
At this time, the people lying on the ground woke up one after another. When Sasuke saw Mitsuki lying next to him, he was so angry that he picked up the kid on the spot.
"You little…!"
"I'm going to beat you to death today!!!"
After saying that, Sasuke pulled out the Heavy Xuan Ruler from his back and hit the boy's butt hard.
"OW…!!"
The child, who had just woken up, let out a bloodcurdling scream before his eyes even fully opened.
"Sasuke, you idiot…!"
"Calm down!"
"Don't beat up my nephew like..."
Bang…
Sasuke knocked the annoying yellow-haired guy away and continued to whip Mitsuki on his leg.
Orochimaru watched from the side with great interest. He was very curious why Sasuke wanted to beat Mitsuki as soon as he woke up.
Meanwhile, Karin stood aside without saying a word.
She had a feeling she knew where they'd just been...
'If I guessed correctly...'
'We should have died just now.'
Naruto rubbed his head and climbed up from the rubble. Looking at the happy scene of the family of three, he couldn't help but take out his Polaroid Camera and started taking pictures on the spot, "NARUTO!!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Sasuke immediately stopped beating Mitsuki and rushed toward Naruto with Three Thousand Lightning Movement.
But Naruto was prepared, and he just flopped backward and vanished on the spot.
In order to facilitate communication, he even left a shadow clone at his original position.
"Heh, Sasuke."
"If you hit me again, I'll have my main body tell everyone about your scandal."
"YOU…!!"
Sasuke's fists trembled, but he held back.
He knew that Naruto was definitely capable of doing this.
"Hmph!"
"That kid has nothing to do with me."
Sasuke said through gritted teeth, sheathed his weapon, put on his hood and turned away.
Orochimaru looked at the base that had become ruins and sighed.
'Damn it!'
'Another base destroyed by Sasuke!'
In just two months, one-third of his hidden bases across the Shinobi World had been reduced to rubble.
When Orochimaru looked at Sasuke, he always felt like he had adopted a natural disaster instead of a subordinate.
…
"White-haired old man!!"
"I have good news for you!!"
The moment Naruto returned to Mount Myoboku, he immediately went to find Jiraiya.
"Have you mastered Senjutsu?"
Jiraiya looked at his student in confusion, feeling a little shocked.
'That's not right...'
'It's impossible for Naruto to learn it so quickly.'
"Don't worry about that!"
Naruto's smile faltered and he glared at the old man fiercely.
'Why is this guy talking about things that are irrelevant? I obviously wanted to share good news with him.'
"Listen..."
"Orochimaru has a kid now."
"Cough…!"
"WHAT!?"
When Jiraiya heard that Orochimaru had a child, he choked on his saliva and started coughing violently.
'That's not right!'
'Didn't Orochimaru say he wanted to live forever...'
'How could he possibly get married and have a kid!?'
"Y-You... What nonsense are you spouting!?"
Jiraiya suddenly felt like the world had gone absurd, as someone like Orochimaru actually had a child now.
And yet, he himself was still an old bachelor...
'Impossible!'
'I must have heard it wrong!'
Seeing that the old man didn't believe what he said, Naruto immediately pulled out the photos he had just taken.
"Look."
"This kid's name is Mitsuki."
"He's Orochimaru's child."
"See? Doesn't his skin look exactly like his??"
Jiraiya took the photo and was stunned for a moment.
"This..."
"This is actually real?!"
"Wait…!"
"Wasn't Orochimaru turned into a monster and destroyed?"
"How is he alive again?"
Jiraiya was even more confused about Orochimaru's resurrection.
However, Naruto responded by saying that Uncle Snake only seemed dead, and even if everyone in the Shinobi World was gone, he'd probably still be hiding in some corner.
Jiraiya thought it made sense and stood dazed for a long time before suddenly grabbing Naruto's shoulders.
"Hold on!"
"When the hell did you start having connections with Orochimaru, you damn brat!?"
"He's a Missing-nin from the village!!"
"And why is Sasuke over there with him!?"
Suddenly realizing the key point, Jiraiya suddenly felt that everything he didn't understand before was now clear to him.
'So back then, when Naruto gouged out those eyes… he must've learned that from Orochimaru, right?!'
'Good, good, good!'
'I was wondering why he looks even scarier than Orochimaru.'
'So you were secretly taking extra lessons behind my back, huh?'
"Quick, take me to Orochimaru now!"
"I'm going to bring him back to Konoha myself!"
Naruto: "..."
Hearing the old man's declaration, Naruto was utterly speechless.
'Not to mention whether Orochimaru is willing to go back with you, even Tsunade would not agree to let Orochimaru, who just caused trouble, return to the village!'
'Just look at what happened to the Land of Grass… it's a lesson for us.'
'That entire country had been ravaged by monsters, and its people are either dead or fleeing.'
'Especially those bastards from Kusagakure who had tormented Karin… they'd all been wiped out.'
Naruto had wanted to settle the score with those scums from Kusagakure, but he couldn't even find them anymore.
If Orochimaru returned to Konoha Village...
Then, he, Uzumaki Naruto, would be the first to disagree.
"What are you spacing out for!?"
"Hurry up!!"
Jiraiya certainly couldn't let go of the chance to get his old friend back, so he tightened his grip on Naruto's shoulders and urged him.
Seeing that the old man was not giving up, Naruto pursed his lips, raised his hand and threw out a portal.
The next moment, the master and disciple reappeared in Otogakure.
They immediately ran into Orochimaru and his group, who were about to leave.
Jiraiya looked at his old friend, whom he hadn't seen for many years, feeling mixed emotions and even a little embarrassed.
Not knowing what to say, Jiraiya shifted his gaze to the child.
Scratching his head, he forced a smile and spoke, "Orochimaru, congratulations."
"By the way..."
"Who is the mother of this child?"
