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

Chapter 46 The King of Talk Shows: Caught in a Dilemma

The wind had stopped on the forest path.

Orochimaru stood there, his golden vertical pupils revealing a playful, cat-and-mouse expression.

Sasuke's hand holding the kunai was steady, at least on the surface, but he was actually not confident at all.

Naruto, who was standing next to him, saw it clearly; Sasuke's back was already soaked with sweat.

"Hey, Sasuke."

Naruto deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to Sasuke. Fortunately, Orochimaru did not immediately come up to kill them all.

"Why do I get the feeling that you were pretty brave just now? You even dared to confront the Sannin? If I'm not mistaken, we'd be one-shotted by him, instantly killed within five seconds."

Sasuke didn't turn around; his eyes remained fixed on Orochimaru, as if afraid that the other might do something.

"Shut up, you loser, how dare you talk to me like that."

"Aren't you one too?"

Sasuke's words carried a sarcastic tone, and also a hint of unease.

"When you slammed your fist on the table in front of Tsunade at the casino, I thought you were going to get punched into a pulp. I don't know about the others, but I always felt that the Sannin were at least no weaker than my father, Fugaku Uchiha."

"She's really not someone to mess with. That's Tsunade. She could even blow up a mountain with one punch."

Naruto was speechless, but he still confessed honestly.

"You think I'm so confident? I'm just pretending!"

My legs are shaking!

"I took a gamble, betting that she wouldn't kill the child, and that the lecherous immortal was right there."

"If the lecherous immortal weren't here, I would have run away long ago."

Sasuke's expression changed instantly.

"Do you have someone to guarantee your safety?"

"I'm really in a bind now. Just now, I felt that I couldn't lose in terms of momentum, especially not to you."

"Even you dared to slam the table against the Sannin. I was scared away. If word gets out, won't I, Uchiha Sasuke, be outshone by you?"

Naruto immediately became unhappy.

"Are you stupid? Is saving face more important than substance? We're really in a life-or-death situation right now. Although I just told you quietly that the Lustful Immortal is coming soon, it won't be that quick."

"What's the rush? Are you just indulging in a moment of verbal sparring?"

The two exposed each other's shortcomings and refused to admit defeat.

His previous aggressive and arrogant demeanor was all an act.

Compared to a true Kage-level powerhouse, they were just two chicks who had just learned to walk.

Even with the cheat code Roy gave them, or with their awakened bloodline.

The gap is still dimensional, it's simply not enough to compare.

Orochimaru could kill them with the mere flick of his finger.

"Kabuto, is there something you want to tell me too?"

Orochimaru suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Kabuto dusted himself off, his face still bearing that annoying fake smile.

"Lord Orochimaru."

"I can't stay out for too long this time. I've already reported the latest intelligence to you, and the upcoming undercover mission is quite demanding. We can't arouse suspicion, and we can't afford to delay. It's best to resolve this matter quickly."

Orochimaru waved his hand.

"I understand the situation. Go ahead, I'm fine here."

"Besides, you probably won't be able to get involved in what happens next. You'll only get in the way and cause more trouble."

Dou nodded.

He glanced at Sasuke and said coldly.

"Sasuke-kun, the ninja world is vast, and you can't win by taking shortcuts or relying on luck. Next time we meet, I'll show you what it means to respect your seniors."

After saying that, Kabuto disappeared into the depths of the forest, leaving Orochimaru alone to face the two boys.

Naruto and Sasuke are under even more pressure, but Orochimaru is not in a hurry to make a move.

He stared with great interest at the black earring on Sasuke's ear.

"That's interesting."

Orochimaru licked his lips.

"The shop manager gave you some small toys, which are really amazing. I'm becoming more and more interested in him."

"Can it also block psychological manipulation?"

"But in the face of absolute power, all of this is superfluous and useless."

In the end, Orochimaru decided to stop acting. He had seen enough of the show, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from him.

Orochimaru didn't use ninjutsu or genjutsu, or perhaps he felt that using them against two brats would be beneath him.

It was merely a pure killing intent, similar to Tsunade's actions in the casino; the movements were almost identical.

Naruto and Sasuke suddenly felt everything go black and couldn't move.

It felt like being tightly coiled by a giant python, making it difficult to even breathe, and cold sweat streamed down my forehead.

"Is this... the true Legendary Sannin?"

Naruto gritted his teeth, while Kagura's Mind's Eyes issued a frantic warning.

In his perception, Orochimaru was like a bottomless black hole, devouring everything around him.

"You lecherous immortal... hurry up..."

Naruto shouted in his heart.

Sasuke's kunai was almost crushed.

He wanted to move, but his body wouldn't obey him.

Fear stemming from his biological instinct overwhelmed his will.

Orochimaru took a step forward.

"Stop struggling, just come with me."

I will give you everything you want.

Orochimaru reached out and grabbed Sasuke's neck.

Just as it was about to touch Sasuke's skin.

A white figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the two.

Smoke and dust billowed up, and a powerful shockwave forced Orochimaru back.

With long white hair, a red vest, and carrying a huge scroll on his back, Jiraiya.

He stood there, like a mountain, blocking all the murderous intent.

"Yo, Orochimaru."

Jiraiya's voice rang out.

With his usual boldness, and a complex look in his eyes, Orochimaru was once his bond, but he was not capable of bringing Orochimaru back to the village.

This was also Jiraiya's lifelong regret.

"have not seen you for a long time."

"Bullying children is not the style of the Sannin."

Orochimaru withdrew his hand.

His golden vertical pupils narrowed.

"Jiraiya".

"You're always so nosy."

Jiraiya scratched his head.

"no way."

"Well, that's what happens when I'm the babysitter for these two brats."

He turned his head and glanced at Naruto and Sasuke behind him.

"Are you alright?"

Naruto and Sasuke both breathed a sigh of relief; their legs had finally stopped shaking.

The suffocating sense of oppression also disappeared.

"A lecherous immortal!"

Naruto almost burst into tears.

"If you don't come soon, I'm going to be eaten by a snake!"

Sasuke didn't say anything, but he put the kunai away.

Leaning against the tree trunk, panting heavily, he survived.

This is the world of the strong.

Without strength, you don't even have the right to speak.

"Leave the rest to me."

Jiraiya turned around to face Orochimaru.

Orochimaru.

"You'd better not interfere in Konoha's affairs."

"And Sasuke too."

"As long as I'm here, you can't take him away."

Orochimaru smiled.

"Then let's give it a try."

"I'd also like to know if you've made any progress over the years."

The two great ninjas and the three great ninjas finally met again on this occasion after many years, but it turned into a fierce battle right from the start.
