When Uzumaki Naruto "followed the breath" to find his friend again, he saw a strange scene like a dream——

Sasuke, Yuugao-chan and the three members of the Eagle Squad were actually sitting in a kotatsu with Orochimaru.

Moreover, this kotatsu is still placed in the latter’s laboratory.

And now...

These people were actually playing cards.

This too weird scene made Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but rub his eyes, and then he rubbed them again, and finally confirmed that he was not dreaming.

"Why are you so dazed?" Uchiha Sasuke raised his head and asked after being thrown out one-on-one.

"...No." Uzumaki Naruto looked confused and walked over, almost one step at a time, "Why...are you playing cards?" Then he sat down next to Uchiha Sasuke very consciously.

Come down.

"Ask this guy." Uchiha Sasuke raised his chin at the black-haired girl sitting opposite him.

"Hehehe~" Ochiha said a little embarrassedly, "Xiang Rin and the others got some gifts for buying sweets, including this thing called 'poker'. I haven't played it before, and I was a little curious, so I asked Sasuke if he could

Taught me, and then it became like this... As for Mr. Orochimaru, he shamelessly joined on his own initiative, I did not invite him."

The cheeky Mr. Orochimaru: "..." Throughout his life journey, it seems that he rarely faced off against Uchiha Obito, and almost never cheated the other party. At most, he only cheated on Akatsuki's activities.

Funding and experimental funds. Why is his "peer" so hostile to him? I can't understand it.

After hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto silently looked at his friend.

"What?" It was Uchiha Sasuke's turn to play cards again. He pulled out a card from Suigetsu Suigetsu's hand, said "tsk", and closed the playing cards in his right hand at a speed that the others could not see clearly.

He quickly changed the order of the cards, and then passed it in the direction of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru then raised his hand to draw a card, and then threw the two paired cards on the table.

That's right, they are playing the "ghost card".

"No..." Naruto Uzumaki replied while watching them play carefully, "I just... think, I didn't expect that Sasuke would be such a doting type on his wife after getting married." She was willing to go with Orochimaru just because she wanted to play.

Playing cards or something, "After all, you have always behaved very coldly in the past when you were in the Ninja School. No matter how the girls surrounded you, you would always have a cold face without even looking at you, and... um..." he said

As he spoke, he realized something was wrong, and quickly sneered at Uchiha, "That's all in the past, in the past."

Uchiha Obi, who listened with great interest, smiled curiously and said: "Then what? Then what? How was Sasuke so popular in school in the past?"

"That's right..."

"Shut up." Uchiha Sasuke said coldly. There is no doubt that for him, this is considered black history.

"..." Uzumaki Naruto obediently raised his hand and made a gesture to zip up his mouth, but he couldn't help but say, "That's great. I will be so nice to Sakura in the future. Well, even if she wants to in winter

Look at Sakura and go to other countries to get it for her." Hmm, he doesn't want to lose to Sasuke in any aspect~

"...Come on." Uchiha Sasuke replied dryly. Apart from that, he really didn't know what to say. But he believed that this guy could do it. He didn't want to talk more about this topic.

, he treated her a little more warmly because of "parting care", so he turned to say, "So, you have made up your mind?"

"Yes." Uzumaki Naruto nodded vigorously, "My determination has not changed."

"In this way..." Uchiha Sasuke lowered his eyes and said nothing more, but asked again, "Are you having fun?"

"Hey? Is that okay? Okay, okay!" Naruto Uzumaki, who also lacked experience in playing cards with others, nodded quickly, "Take me one!"

Uchiha looked at Orochimaru: "Please turn off the TV, and are there any oranges here?" She remembered that in Naruto's letters, he repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to sit at the table with Sasuke and others.

Eating oranges, watching TV and playing games...

Orochimaru replied somewhat speechlessly: "That is experimental equipment, and this is a laboratory."

"Anyway, it has a screen, so you can use it as a TV." Uchiha replied in Uchiha style, "Also, I want oranges, please hurry up."

Orochimaru: "..." Oh, Uchiha is a group of ancestors, big and small, Sasuke is like this, Itachi-kun is like this, the two people who danced beautifully on the battlefield of the Fourth War are like this, this one looks delicate and weak

, the same is true.

He then stood up, walked to a screen, adjusted it a little, and played a video that some people had taken during the Chunin Examination. It was natural for a large-scale exam like that to be recorded. However, initially,

The written test and the Forest of Death were not recorded. The former was unnecessary and the latter was not allowed by conditions.

Uzumaki Naruto: "..."

Uchiha Sasuke: "..."

——Why is this thing here!

"Wow!" Xianglin exclaimed excitedly, "It's the little Sasuke from the past! Why didn't you show us such a good thing earlier!"

Gui Deng Shuiyue and Zhong Wu deeply agree.

"I got it after being imprisoned in Konoha." Orochimaru turned around, walked to the window and waved to the roof opposite, and said, "Please help me buy a few kilograms of oranges and nuts." Due to the need for confidentiality, surveillance was carried out.

These people of his will keep a safe distance. Because of this, there is no need to worry about what they just said being heard.

The Anbu under surveillance: "..." Don't we want to lose face???

"By the way," Orochimaru added, "It's your future Hokage, Naruto-kun, who wants to eat it. If you want to disappoint him, just pretend you didn't hear it."

The Anbu under surveillance: "..." Buy it! Just buy it!

Orochimaru looked at this movement, turned his head and laughed hoarsely: "You are very popular, Naruto."

Uzumaki Naruto looked at people with dead eyes: "..." This person is really despicable!

"How long is this video?" Xianglin asked curiously.

"Well..." Orochimaru thought for a while, "Not until I launch the plan to collapse Konoha." After that, a large number of people fell into a deep sleep, and naturally no one recorded.

"...It's a shame that you have the nerve to say such things!" Uzumaki Naruto said with a bad expression. He remembered clearly that it was because of this incident that the third generation grandfather... And Sasuke was also killed by Orochi after this.

Maru's lies tempted and coaxed him to leave them and Konoha.

Since then, he has embarked on a long "journey of recovery" and has not yet succeeded in bringing the person back.

To say it was the "beginning of a nightmare" is an understatement.

"Naruto," Orochimaru walked back from the window and replied, "What has happened cannot be changed, and for me, it is meaningless to regret it afterwards. Of course, if you must need it, considering that you are now and

I can also make some appearances of my future identity. But I think you don’t need this.”

There is no doubt that this man has abandoned a considerable part of his humanity, and he doesn't see anything wrong with it at all.

"..."

When Uzumaki Naruto was angry, he said the same words as Uchiha had just said: "Sometimes I really don't understand why those people insist on keeping you."

Facing Uzumaki Naruto, Orochimaru gave an answer that was completely inconsistent with what he had just said——

"Perhaps it's because, if someone like me who is full of evil can be forgiven, then there is nothing that cannot be forgiven. You think so, Naruto-kun is kind-hearted and can forgive everything."

"..." Uzumaki Naruto was slightly startled.

"Okay, Naruto." Uchiha Sasuke gave Orochimaru a warning look and did not let the topic continue. He just said, "You were really stupid back then. Also, do you still remember how you got here?"

Did you beat Ya in a game?" If he remembered correctly, this matter was discussed for a long time after that, and he had heard about it. I have to say, it was impressive.

"...Huh?" Uzumaki Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically, "No! Don't let go!"

However, Ghost Light Suigetsu smiled "hehe", bypassed Uchiha Sasuke and directly pressed Uzumaki Naruto on the table: "Future Seventh Hokage, don't be shy, come on, let me see how you defeated him back then.

Born at the same time."

"..." Don't want that kind of thing————!!!

The Uchiha belt tilted his head: "?" Huh? Naruto doesn't look like someone who would use despicable means to win a game, so what exactly happened in this Chunin Examination game?

after a while……

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

Amidst the laughter of the three members of Team Eagle, Naruto Uzumaki lay prone on the table, almost turning to stone.

"Well...Naruto..." Uchiha tried his best to hold back his smile and persuaded, "You...you didn't mean it at the time...Pfft...I mean, you didn't mean to smoke people, so...

…”

"...You'd better stop talking." Uchiha Sasuke covered his lips with his fists and coughed twice, "Not only did he not comfort anyone, but he made this guy want to die even more."

Uzumaki Naruto: "..." Tat, Sasuke, if you have the ability, don't laugh along with me!!!

"Well, Naruto-kun, please be more open-minded." Orochimaru said comfortingly, "As your position in the ninja world becomes more and more popular, countless people want to study you, understand you, and even understand your strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, these

The video must have been spread throughout the ninja world, and may have even become a collection of some people. Therefore, since those people did not laugh at you in the past, I am afraid they will continue to pretend to have forgotten this matter now."

"Hahahahahahahaha!" The big orange fox in the mental space, which had been laughing since the beginning, began to roll on the floor, and even started to stretch out its paws to rub its duji.

Uzumaki Naruto: "..." Vomiting soul.

"...Hey!" Uchiha stood up quickly, like a cat attacking a fish, hurriedly grabbing the floating soul and forcing it back into the blond boy's mouth, "Cheer up! Naruto! You were not caught at that time.

It’s so embarrassing, it’s too late to die now!”
