Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 45 Orochimaru's Temptation? No, it's Sasuke's Hunt.

The atmosphere inside the casino was already very tense; if things continued like this, the two sides would soon be locked in a fierce battle.

Looking at the bill filled with the words "repay the money" written by Naruto, Tsunade felt a surge of anger rising to her head.

Who is she? The legendary Sannin, granddaughter of the First Hokage, and the greatest medical ninja in the ninja world.

Wherever I go, I'm treated like royalty. Now, I'm being publicly pressured by a brat to pay off a debt.

"Kid, you've got guts."

Tsunade gritted her teeth, wishing she could skin him alive.

"But I have no money."

"Even if I had the money, it's not my place to pay this messy debt."

"Let Hiruzen Sarutobi figure out how to deal with the debt Konoha owes."

After saying that, Tsunade kicked over the chair next to her and turned to leave.

"Mute, let's go!"

"Ah? Yes! Lady Tsunade!"

Silent was also a little at a loss and hurriedly followed.

Naruto didn't chase after him; he knew it would be pointless. This was a true powerhouse, and his earlier bravado had exhausted his courage.

His back was almost soaked with cold sweat, but thankfully the other person didn't slap him to death.

However, he stood there, watching Tsunade's angry back.

"Can you escape?"

Naruto muttered to himself as he picked up the bill.

"You lecherous immortal, I'm counting on you this time. Make sure she doesn't get away."

Jiraiya chuckled helplessly to himself, "What kind of mess is this?"

Old friends reunited, but before they could even catch up, they almost came to blows.

Even if you don't get along with the other party, there's no need to start making a scene that's almost unmanageable. How can you invite them back to be the Hokage if you do that?

"Alright."

Jiraiya sighed.

"I'll go and try to persuade her first."

The grove of trees outside Tanbu Street.

Naruto and Sasuke walked along a forest path.

Tsunade, unsurprisingly, refused.

The legendary Sannin, upon hearing about repaying the debt, stopped acting altogether, flipped the table, and walked away.

"That old woman is so stubborn, she's like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard."

Naruto kicked a pebble away from his feet.

"I really want to tie her up and take her back."

"You wish! You think you can tie us up and take us back? Do you even have the strength? Even if you tied us all together, we wouldn't stand a chance against them. But hold on."

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and scanned his surroundings warily.

"She can't escape. The manager said she's our only hope."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the sounds of birdsong and insects disappeared.

"Watch out, something terrible is about to happen."

Sasuke stopped in his tracks, placing his hand on his ninja tool pouch, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

Two people emerged from behind the tree trunk in front.

The silver-haired teenager wearing round-framed glasses and forcing a smile, Kabuto Yakushi, is probably only fourteen years old.

The other is Orochimaru, with long, flowing hair, pale skin, and golden vertical pupils.

Being stared at by those eyes is like being prey targeted by a giant snake, making one tremble deep in their soul.

This is also how Naruto and Sasuke felt at this moment.

"Oh dear."

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue.

"What a coincidence!"

"Konoha's twin stars, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and..."

He stared intently at Sasuke, his eyes brimming with greed, as if he were looking at a priceless treasure.

"Uchiha Sasuke, discovering you during this Konoha incident was an unexpected delight for me."

"I heard you caused quite a stir in Konoha, even Danzo was ousted by your father."

Orochimaru's intelligence network is indeed impressive.

Even though he was far away in Tanabata, he was still fully aware of everything that was happening in Konoha.

"A perfect body..."

Orochimaru began to deceive Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, why don't you come with me?"

"Konoha is too small. The so-called shopkeeper can't give you real power."

"But I can."

"It might even grant you eternal life. It would give you the power to protect your clan, even surpassing Itachi's power, so that if the Uchiha clan faces another crisis one day, you won't be so passive. Right?"

Bewitching—that's Orochimaru's specialty.

They exploit people's weaknesses and make promises they can't refuse.

Sasuke stared at Orochimaru without saying a word, but casually touched the black earring on his left ear.

The cool touch kept him awake.

Roy said that this earring could block psychological manipulation.

Looking at it now, the results are indeed excellent, absolutely fantastic.

Orochimaru's seductive words sounded to him like the buzzing of flies, making him feel restless and irritated.

Sasuke was thinking to himself, "Which idiot is trying to fool people? He's so eloquent, it's a shame he's not telling jokes on the street."

"Sasuke-kun?"

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised that Sasuke did not react.

"Looks like you need a little lesson."

Orochimaru waved his hand.

The Pharmacist Kabuto adjusted his glasses and walked out with a smile.

"Lord Orochimaru, let me do it."

Blue chakra light shone from Kabuto's hand; it was a chakra scalpel.

He looked at the Uchiha boy in front of him who hadn't even graduated yet, his eyes filled with a hint of contempt.

"What an arrogant brat. Does he really think he's a genius? I'm the kind of person who can even manipulate the ANBU."

Kabuto thought to himself, deciding to teach this newcomer a lesson and, incidentally, demonstrate his worth in front of Lord Orochimaru.

"Newcomers always need to be taught a lesson, especially these arrogant brats. If necessary, a good beating will suffice; if that doesn't work, then two."

Kabuto's figure vanished instantly.

As Orochimaru's right-hand man, Kabuto is quite strong, especially at his age.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Sasuke, his chakra blade slashing towards Sasuke's wrist.

"Too slow."

Sasuke snorted coldly, opened his eyes, and his two tomoe spun rapidly, revealing his double tomoe Sharingan.

Stimulated by the night of the genocide in the instance, coupled with the previous training from the shopkeeper, his eyes evolved once again.

Dou's movements were full of flaws in his eyes.

"How is this possible? These eyes... can actually keep up with my speed?" Dou was shocked, but it was too late for him to change his move.

Sasuke did not back down, but dodged the scalpel by sidestepping it.

Then he cut inside the pocket, striking the pocket's ribs with his elbow.

Dou instantly felt his body lose its balance, not expecting the boy to react so quickly.

Before he could adjust his posture, Sasuke's right leg had already swept over.

His strength was astonishing, seemingly a fusion of the Uchiha Fluid Technique with the power generation techniques of the Gangquan Fist, but it was actually the result of Roy's special training.

He felt a little incredulous.

"This...this is the power of the Uchiha? Just from a single exchange..."

Clutching her slightly aching chest, she was still somewhat surprised.

He always believed that he was hiding his true strength, enough to make him stand out from his peers, and that even many Chunin were no match for him.

"You think you're qualified to teach me?"

Sasuke retracted his leg.

Just as Kabuto was preparing to launch a serious counterattack, Orochimaru suddenly stopped him.

"Clap clap clap".

applause.

Orochimaru wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited.

"marvelous!"

"This rate of growth, this fighting instinct!"

"Sasuke-kun, you truly are the perfect vessel!"

Orochimaru opened his arms.

"Come! Embrace me! Do not resist your destiny!"

Sasuke felt disgusted looking at this pervert.

He pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag and pointed it at Orochimaru.

"destiny?"

"My destiny is something only I can decide."

"Power? The power you use to turn yourself into a monster is too low-level."

This remark enraged Orochimaru.

"Low-grade?"

Orochimaru's face darkened, and his killing intent erupted.

But in his golden vertical pupils, besides murderous intent, there was even more possessiveness.

"What an unruly look in his eyes."

"The more difficult the prey is to tame, the more valuable it is to hunt. Sasuke, the more you resist, the more I want to take you apart and see just how much potential is hidden within you."

"You will be mine, and you will definitely be mine."

"Kid, you'll pay for your arrogance."

Sasuke wasn't scared; instead, he laughed.

"cost?"

Sasuke grabbed a kunai and assumed a charging stance.

"I'm here to pick up something."

"The shop manager said you have something good on you, although I don't know what it is."

Although Sasuke was arrogant, he knew very well that there was an insurmountable gap between himself and the legendary Sannin.

He didn't actually rush up to fight Orochimaru to the death; that would have been pure suicide. What appeared to be a charge was merely a deception.

The objective is clear: to disrupt Orochimaru's rhythm and buy time by taking advantage of the moment when Kabuto was repelled.

"Oh? You're just going to spout empty words and not actually attack?"

"A smart child."

Orochimaru licked his lips.

"Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and understanding how to assess the situation. It seems that the shop owner not only gave you strength, but also brains."

Sasuke didn't speak; he was waiting for the perverted sage to return.

If we can just hold on for a while, the situation might turn around.

Orochimaru seemed to have seen through his intentions, but he was not in a hurry.

Cat and mouse is a game that's more fun when played slowly.
