Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

"Master Orochimaru!"

Even though he was blindfolded, Kimimaro immediately recognized the familiar voice.

"Lie still." Orochimaru waved his hand, indicating that Kimimaro didn't need to be so polite, and then strode into the room.

He approached Kimimaro's bedside, bent down, and carefully examined Kimimaro's pale and thin face. A rare gentle expression appeared on his face: "How are you? Is Kimimaro feeling any better now?"

"Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto Yakushi suddenly seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly bowed to report, "I have just given Kimimaro a full examination. His current physical condition is very stable, and all the data are within the controllable range."

Orochimaru nodded upon hearing this. "Kimimaro, I've thought of someone who might be able to cure your bloodline disease. However, convincing her will take some time. Until then... I hope you can persevere."

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro trembled as if injected with a powerful stimulant, his face filled with undisguised excitement and gratitude: "Lord Orochimaru! Thank you! I... I will definitely persevere!"

His voice trembled slightly, and his pale face flushed with excitement. Being able to regain his health and serve Lord Orochimaru was more important to him than anything else!

"Ah."

Orochimaru responded indifferently, as if it were just a trivial matter.

He then turned to Kabuto: "Let's go, come with me to the lab, it's time to test the body structure of that 'White Zetsu'."

"Yes! Lord Orochimaru!"

Kabuto's voice unconsciously carried a sense of relief and joy as he quickly followed Orochimaru.

A moment later, two figures walked one after the other in the base's dimly lit tunnel.

Every few meters along the wall, a dim yellow light was embedded, casting long, distorted shadows of the two people.

Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the silent passageway.

Kabuto gazed at Orochimaru's retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked cautiously, "Lord Orochimaru, why did you return so quickly this time? Could it be... that the information Jiraiya gave you was false?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru paused in his tracks.

Orochimaru's footsteps stopped abruptly.

He remained where he was, without turning around, but let out a sigh with a complex meaning and shook his head.

"No, it's true."

Dou was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

If it's true, why did Lord Orochimaru return so quickly?

Orochimaru's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible regret and annoyance.

"Unfortunately, I arrived too late. It seems that those who come from the 'dream' can only exist in the real world for one day."

"The Rope Tree... has disappeared."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru sneered.

He's not stupid; Tsunade's painful reaction couldn't possibly be faked.

He said that only to annoy Jiraiya.

If it weren't for that idiot Jiraiya constantly dragging him along, rambling on and on, and insisting on stopping at the Valley of the End, he would have been in trouble.

How could he have left empty-handed? How could he not have seen Rope Tree?

The Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Fire are adjacent; given their speed and effort, they should be able to return to Konoha on the same day.

Besides, Jiraiya had dared to tease and mock him before, so how could he let Jiraiya off so easily?

It's already too lenient of him to have only made Jiraiya anxious for a few days.

Upon hearing this news, Kabuto seemed relieved, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and his tone even carried a hint of surprise: "So... Nawaki is already..."

Orochimaru glanced at Kabuto out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly chuckled strangely, "Kabuto, your reaction is a bit odd... Is it because your cells are clashing again?"

Kabuto's heart tightened; he had lost his composure for a moment, and Orochimaru had seen through his act!

In a moment of panic, Kabuto hurriedly bowed and said respectfully and flusteredly, "N-no! I... I was just happy for Kimimaro. I was so happy that I lost my composure for a moment."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Lord Orochimaru, let's hurry up and test the White Zetsu."

Orochimaru stared at Kabuto Yakushi's slightly stiff expression, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly chuckled, "You two seem to have a good relationship. Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Yakushi Kabuto secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

Chapter 235 Erzhuzi: Who the hell is spying on me every day?

Konoha Village, early morning, training ground.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Sasuke, caught off guard, was slammed to the ground by Naruto.

The embarrassment was secondary; what frustrated him even more was that he had once again lost focus during the sparring session.

"Sasuke!"

This time, Naruto didn't shout triumphantly as usual. Instead, he put away his playful smile, rushed forward, and reached out to help Sasuke up.

"Sasuke! Are you alright? What's wrong with you these past few days? You seem distracted and completely out of sorts!"

Sasuke, looking annoyed and impatient, nimbly stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said coldly, "I'm fine."

Naruto withdrew his hand, still staring at Sasuke with a puzzled look, and said, "Are you really alright? But you look..."

Sasuke ignored Naruto's question and instead frowned as he looked around.

Under the bright sky, the trees surrounding the training ground were lush and green. His gaze swept over the places where the branches met the blue sky, as if searching for something.

Again!

Sasuke was secretly annoyed.

Lately, he has felt that there is a hidden gaze watching him from the shadows.

Whether training or resting, the illusion of being watched followed him everywhere, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

However, whenever he tried to follow his intuition, he never found any unusual traces.

Who...and from where are they watching me?

"Sasuke, what are you looking for?"

Seeing Sasuke standing there looking around strangely, Naruto scratched his head and looked up at the treetops and sky as well, but found nothing.

……

In the forest outside Konoha Village.

A dark figure could be vaguely seen among the thick tree trunks.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes were closed, and at this moment his mind was sharing vision over a long distance through a crow.

The crow was circling above Konoha, taking in the entire scene of the training ground.

Suddenly, Itachi opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting a mixture of annoyance and hesitation.

He slowly raised his hand, formed a hand seal, and instantly severed his visual connection with the distant crows.

"call……"

The weasel leaned against the tree trunk, exhaled softly, and a rare look of embarrassment appeared on its usually calm face.

"Sasuke noticed it again... Sasuke's senses are really sharp these days."

Itachi was also helpless.

He used to be far away in Amegakure, which was fine since he was far from Konoha.

But now that he's back near Konoha, he's only inches away from Sasuke and can easily see him.

The urge to constantly check on my younger brother's safety and watch him grow up was simply too much to resist.

It seems the frequency of the reconnaissance is indeed too high...

Itachi Uchiha realized that his almost instinctive attention had become a form of interference with Sasuke.

He gazed at the lush greenery swaying all around him, and his expression gradually calmed down.

If this spying will affect Sasuke, then he must restrain himself no matter what.

Thinking of this, Itachi Uchiha slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again a moment later, there was an incomparably firm determination in his black eyes.

it is good!

Decided!

I'm not watching it today!

……

On the training ground.

Sasuke waved his hand dismissively, annoyed: "I'm not playing anymore!"

Naruto was taken aback and quickly followed, asking, "What? You're not going to fight anymore? Sasuke, what are you doing—"

Sasuke didn't even turn his head, saying with utter annoyance, "There's something dirty in there, I can't compete. I'll find a place to train myself."

"Filthy...filthy thing?!" Naruto stood there, stunned, not reacting for a moment. "Hey, Sasuke! Explain yourself! Do you need my help—"

"Need not."

Sasuke didn't stop walking and waved his hand to stop Naruto from following.

Naruto stood there speechless, only able to watch Sasuke stride away from the seventh training ground without looking back.

He ran his fingers through his messy blond hair, muttering in confusion, "Dirty stuff? What is it...?"

After leaving Naruto, Sasuke quickly walked through the bustling streets of Konoha Village and hurried towards the outskirts.

Only by getting away from the crowd and from that annoying gaze can he regain his usual focus and composure.

At this moment, Sasuke already had a clear destination in his mind.

The steep cliff in the forest.
