Chapter 117: Naruto: Big Brother Takes You to Have a Good Time! (Please Subscribe!) At the same time. Uchiha residence, laboratory. "So Orochimaru actually let you continue staying in Konoha?" Xia Yan asked curiously. "Isn't he afraid that you will be recognized after appearing several times in the plan to destroy Konoha?" "Yes," Yakushi Kabuto smiled faintly. "Orochimaru-sama ordered me to continue staying in Konoha and continue collecting information for him." Yes, Yakushi Kabuto is still acting as a Konoha shinobi, staying in Konoha! "As for the issue of exposure that you mentioned..." Yakushi Kabuto smiled faintly, his smile carrying a hint of confidence. "I don't think anyone can discover my true identity." Xia Yan rubbed his chin. In the original work, Yakushi Kabuto's concealment was very successful. If it wasn't for Orochimaru ordering him to test Sasuke and even go as far as pretending to assassinate Sasuke, exposing himself in front of Kakashi, he wouldn't have been exposed. He wouldn't have been exposed...
In fact, even during the exposure in front of Kakashi, the main reason was that Yakushi Kabuto didn't hide anything, which allowed Kakashi to discover him. After all, his mission was already completed and he didn't need to stay in Konoha anymore, so naturally he didn't care about being exposed. However, Xia Yan understood that Yakushi Kabuto's background was recorded in Danzo's records. As a former member of Root, his identity and background were arranged by Root. Or rather, his existence was one of the trade-offs between Orochimaru and Danzo. He continues to stay in Konoha. Could it be that Danzo still has some kind of deal with Orochimaru? But the plan to destroy Konoha has already ended! "Oh, come to think of it, Danzo seems to have taken a beating too," Xia Yan suddenly realized. Before Gaara withdrew from Konoha, following the map given by Xia Yan, he swept through the root base all the way, directly provoking Danzo22 and taking the initiative to confront him, receiving a severe beating from Gaara. And Danzo himself is a person who attracts extreme hatred, it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone wants to beat him up. At this moment, when the ninja clan and the high-ranking officials are hostile towards the Third Hokage and Danzo, he has long been voted out of the decision-making circle by the Konoha Shinobi. If it weren't for the injuries he sustained from Gaara's beating, he would have been sent to the front lines to fight the enemy to the death. So it is obvious that his goal of becoming the "Hokage successor" cannot be achieved. Even if the village cannot retrieve Tsunade, they will retrieve Jiraiya - this has been stated by Utatane Koharu and Mito Uzumaki, and has gained support from many ninja clans. In this situation, is it normal for him to continue trading with Orochimaru? However, in the next second... "Lord Xia Yan, may I ask you something?" Yakushi Kabuto pondered for a moment and said, "I have received information from Lord Orochimaru, saying that when you killed the Third Hokage, you used Wood Style. Although I trust Lord Orochimaru's information, may I ask if this is true?" "Yes, that's true." Xia Yan nodded calmly. "In fact, if I hadn't deliberately eliminated the remnants of Wood Style afterwards, there would still be a pile of wood on the battlefield right now." "You already have Wood Style? Then, do you also possess the legendary First Hokage's Sage Body...?" "Yes, I do." "I can't believe he has this too!" Yakushi Kabuto looked shocked. In fact, Orochimaru had felt something was off afterwards. Although the First Generation under Impure World Reincarnation was far inferior to the true First Generation, they shouldn't have lost so quickly in the Wood Style competition. The gap shouldn't be this big!
But if Xia Yan had the body of a Sage, then it would make sense. The immense amount of chakra brought by the body of a Sage is the foundation for the extraordinary power of Wood Style ninjutsu. Wood Style again, and Mangekyō too. Is Xia Yan really this strong?! Isn't this equivalent to the combination of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama? Yakushi Kabuto looked shocked. "It's not as exaggerated as you think." Xia Yan glanced at Yakushi Kabuto and instantly guessed his thoughts. He said, "I don't have as many Wood Style techniques as the First Generation, and there are still many powerful ninjutsu that I don't know yet." "Uchiha Madara is similar in that regard. Although I can also use Susanoo, I still have a lot to catch up with him in terms of applying ninjutsu." Although Xia Yan can quickly integrate ninjutsu into his own fighting style after using cheats, there is still a big gap in battle experience between him and Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. He doesn't have a good opponent to accompany him step by step in adapting to high-level battles. Yakushi Kabuto's shock did not diminish because of this. Even if he can't surpass Senju Hashirama in Wood Style or Uchiha Madara in Mangekyō, Xia Yan, with the combination of Wood Style and Mangekyō, wouldn't lose to either Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara, right? He silently swallowed his saliva and casually asked, "Lord Xia Yan, how did you achieve Wood Style?" "You don't have the bloodline of the Senju clan, do you..." His voice was light and faint, as if he was just chatting casually. But when Xia Yan heard this, he stared at Yakushi Kabuto with a meaningful gaze. Yakushi Kabuto felt a tingling sensation on his scalp from the gaze. "So, Orochimaru left you behind for me!" Xia Yan suddenly laughed. This is not about a deal with Danzo. It's just that Orochimaru is curious about how Xia Yan can use Wood Style! *....... That's the strongest ninjutsu in the ninja world! "Yes, there is that aspect." Yakushi Kabuto swallowed his saliva and felt immense pressure. "Of course, you don't have to say anything. Orochimaru-sama doesn't expect me to extract any information from you." "Of course, if you don't mind, you can tell me." "The combination of Wood Style and Sharingan might help with your new medicine development. I might be able to draw some inspiration from it to assist you in developing drugs." "It's useless." Xia Yan said indifferently, "The way I obtained Wood Style cannot be replicated. Don't even think about learning from it." "Is that so?" Yakushi Kabuto nodded. He didn't think Xia Yan had any reason to deceive him. After all, this man could easily kill him if he wanted to. So what Xia Yan said is probably true... Cannot be replicated? Is Mangekyō Sharingan a unique eye technique? Yakushi Kabuto thought to himself, but on the surface, he said, "I see. However, Lord Natsuhiko, since you already have the Sage Mode and have obtained Wood Style, can you share some cells with me?"
"The combination of Wood Style and Sharingan might bring about even more unique changes in the cells, which could enhance the effectiveness of the medicine we are developing..." "Of course, you can rest assured that I am prepared to never leave the Uchiha laboratory. Your cells will never leak out... If I want to go out, I will submit an application in advance, and you can personally inspect whether I have stolen your cells." He genuinely intended to help Natsuhiko. Although the main reason was to make up for his previous audacity, Yakushi Kabuto really didn't have the intention of giving Natsuhiko's cells to Orochimaru as research material. Even if Yakushi Kabuto dared to give them, Orochimaru might not dare to accept them—what if Natsuhiko came knocking on the door? Natsuhiko also understood this and nodded. "Alright." The Uchiha residence was in complete chaos! It was originally the busiest commercial street in Konoha, and with the end of the plan to destroy Konoha, it became the hottest commercial street in Konoha! Because... It was safe! The entire plan to destroy Konoha, the Uchiha's territory is the only area that has not experienced any attacks. Whether it's the shinobi from Otogakure or the shinobi from Sunagakure, it's as if they can't see him. The large army would rather go around and avoid this place. The defensive power of Akatsuki is also astonishing. They directly crush the scattered enemies and arrest all the looters taking advantage of the chaos. Kakuzu even personally took action and killed an elite Jōnin-level wandering ninja who tried to rob during the chaos. Throughout the entire war, whether it's merchants or guests, not a single person was even scratched! This security force is simply invincible! Capital will naturally gather in the safest place. After this battle, Konoha's prestige has greatly diminished, its strength has weakened, and people doubt whether it can protect the residents of Konoha. Many businesses are worried about this and have withdrawn their investments to invest in the safest area of Konoha - the Uchiha's territory! Because of the Uchiha's outstanding performance, even the price of residential buildings outside the Uchiha's territory has increased! After all, during wartime, the Uchiha also accept civilians and provide them with protection... Upon seeing this, Natsuhiko made a decisive decision. He extracted some of the mercenaries who were supposed to withdraw from Akatsuki after the war and continued to employ them, continuing patrols, pretending to be in a "long-term employment" situation. This has given countless people great confidence! People believe that the Uchiha can protect them, and they believe in the Uchiha's history. Therefore, even though the major ninja clans have reduced their expenses and invested more resources in weapons and equipment due to the start of the war, they have reduced their expenditures in entertainment. But instead, the Uchiha residence is even more prosperous than before the war! Uchiha's signature beauty salons, massage parlors, and clubs are bustling with people and traffic!
At this moment, a person is dragging their companion towards this place. "Naruto, where are you taking me?" Konohamaru couldn't help but ask, "And why did you specifically ask me to transform into an adult... I don't feel like playing anything right now, can I just go home?" As he spoke, there was a hint of sadness in his expression. He is a member of the Sarutobi clan, the grandson of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen! And now, the current Third Hokage has become a complete failure in the eyes of everyone! They believe that he lost the confidence of the Leaf Village, that he was defeated by the mere Wind Shadow of the Sand Shinobi Village, that he weakened Konoha, and that he caused the bloodshed and tears of Konoha Shinobi... In short, everything is the fault of Sarutobi Hiruzen! In this kind of public opinion environment, Konohamaru naturally doesn't have it easy. Feeling extremely depressed, he locked himself in his house, unwilling to face the gaze of the people around him... "I know you're not in a good mood right now." Naruto looked at him seriously and said, "But the more it's like this, the more you should pull yourself together." "I don't want to be like this either." Konohamaru forced a bitter smile and self-mockingly said, "But can I have any other mood right now?" "That's why your big brother brought you here to relax!" Naruto said with determination, "Although you're still young, your big brother will show you how to be cool and fly!" "But with just a few moves, I guarantee you'll feel better!" "Let's go! Follow me!" Saying that, Naruto forcefully pulled Konohamaru forward. Konohamaru looked uncomfortable. Right now, he just wanted to stay quietly by himself and not see so many people. But he couldn't resist Naruto's stubbornness, and in the end, Naruto dragged him to the entrance of a magnificent and grand building. "What is this place?" Konohamaru looked up and saw the sparkling sign of the club. "This place," Naruto's voice unexpectedly carried a hint of emotion and nostalgia. He remembered the words Sasuke said when he brought him here back then. And then he said, "This is a place that is completely incompatible with gambling and drugs!" Incompatible with gambling and drugs? Konohamaru was taken aback and instinctively said, "Naruto, you missed a dirty word." "I, Naruto, am completely incompatible with gambling and drugs!" Naruto said firmly. "Alright, let's go!" "Today, your big brother will show you a good time! Relax and enjoy yourself!"
