Chapter 255: Everything is as planned
When he saw Naruto lying on the ground covered in blood, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression suddenly became gloomy. Without thinking too much, he quickly stepped forward to check on Naruto's condition.
Although he looked bloody, he was not injured at all, which confused the anxious Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He could only shift his attention to Mitarashi and Anko who were not far away, and hurried forward to ask, "What happened here just now?"
Faced with the question, Mitarashi Anko, who was slumped on the ground, reminded anxiously.
"Sir, Orochimaru just left. It's not too late to catch up with him. We must not let him escape again!"
Upon hearing this, even though he knew it would be difficult to catch the other party, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately ordered the Anbu to search the Death Forest.
After doing all this, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and continued to ask, "Now tell me everything that happened just now."
Mitarashi Anko, who was slumped on the ground, quickly told everything she had just heard and seen.
"Just now, Orochimaru appeared... and that little devil seemed to be possessed by something, calling himself Ajuramaru..."
He told her all the details without missing a word. After listening, Sarutobi Hiruzen cautiously reminded her, "Today's events must be kept strictly confidential."
Mitarashi Anko did not doubt him and immediately responded with certainty.
"I understand, Sandaime-sama."
But then he turned around and Sarutobi Hiruzen came to Sakura again and gave her some instructions, then he looked at Sasuke who was also in a coma.
Especially when his eyes fell on the curse seal on the other's neck, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression had become extremely ugly.
I can only speak it in my heart.
"Choosing Uchiha Sasuke as the vessel, it seems that you have completed that technique, Orochimaru..."
Until nightfall.
The Anbu that went to search found nothing, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had to temporarily stop the search mission and look at Naruto and the other person who were still in a coma.
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not disqualify the two of them, but instead took their men away, but he also left several Anbu hiding nearby.
……
When the sun rises, the sunlight shines.
Sakura, who was hiding under the tree hole, looked at Naruto and the other man who were still unconscious, with only deep worry in her eyes.
But that's about it.
Three figures suddenly appeared on the open space not far away. They were the three Sound Ninjas who were also taking the exam.
Sakura also noticed the arrival of the three people and quickly turned around.
The leader of the opposing team, a Sound Ninja with a hunched body, covered in fluffy fur, his entire face covered with only one eye exposed, spoke first.
"It seems he hasn't woken up yet? That woman over there, wake up Sasuke now, we want to fight him!"
Facing these three people, especially the opponent's Sound Ninja forehead protector, Sakura seemed to remember something. Her expression suddenly became slightly uneasy and angry as she questioned.
"You were sent by Orochimaru, right? You've made Sasuke like this, and now you want to challenge him. What's your purpose?"
However, no one answered this question in the end, but the man with long hair standing on one side stood up and sneered.
"Don't waste your time talking to her. Just let me kill all three of them."
The three of them were about to take action.
Little did they know that there were several Anbu hiding in the darkness, and if the situation went wrong, these three people would be killed here immediately!
But that's about it.
Naruto, who was lying on the ground, finally woke up slowly and opened his eyes slowly, but he immediately sensed the murderous intent.
He quickly stood up and looked at the three people who were preparing to attack not far away.
Sakura also noticed the movement behind her, turned around and said in surprise, "Great, Naruto, you're finally awake!"
However, the three people on the opposite side mistook this as an opportunity and immediately attacked in the direction of Sakura and the others.
Seeing this, Naruto in the tree hole threw out several three-pronged kunai without hesitation, and with a thought, he held the knife with one hand.
The figure turned into a golden stream of light.
In just a moment, the heads of the three men were separated from their bodies, while Naruto landed steadily on the ground and sheathed his sword.
A system notification sounded in Ajuramaru's mind, "Ding! It was detected that the three Sound Ninjas had strong negative emotions when they were about to die, and 3000 emotion points were obtained!
Attack to gain 1500 ghost power, and % will be fed back to the sword master! 】
When the system's prompt sounded, Naruto's body was slightly improved again, and he just turned his head and looked at the bodies of the three people calmly.
Just as he was about to say something, the memory of the battle that day kept appearing in his mind, and after digesting it, Naruto hurriedly said in his heart.
"Thank you, Ajuramaru."
However, his thanks did not get a response from Ajuramaru, and Naruto did not care too much.
Instead, he walked forward to put away the kunai and found a scroll of earth on the three people. After doing all this.
Then he returned to the tree hole, and when he saw Sakura, who looked tired, he hurried forward and said with a sincere smile.
"Thank you for taking care of us, Sakura. Take a good rest first. I am here for you."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Naruto."
Hearing this, Sakura finally lay down on the ground and closed her eyes. With Naruto by her side, she was finally able to fall asleep peacefully.
Seeing this, Naruto went straight to Sasuke, looked at him who was still unconscious, and couldn't help but ask in his heart.
"Ajuramaru, do you know what's going on with Sasuke now?"
This time, Ajuramaru finally spoke up and responded, "He has been cursed, which means that he has now become that guy's vessel.
In short, he is now a backup body for that guy.”
After learning about the situation, Naruto hurriedly asked.
"Is there any way to solve this problem?"
Upon hearing this, the corners of Ajuramaru's mouth in his body slightly raised. It was obvious that he had already expected this scene, or that all this was part of the plan.
The purpose is to give power to Sasuke reasonably.
I only heard Ajuromaru speak slowly, "This is parasitism at the soul level, but there is a way, which is to use some of my power to suppress the soul in its body."
When Naruto heard this method, his first reaction was not for himself and Sasuke, but for Aguramaru, "Will that affect you?"
In response to the concern, Ajuramaru asked back sharply.
“It doesn’t have much impact on me, but it has a huge impact on you. Dividing some of my power means that you will never be able to use my true power!
Even so, will you save him?"
