Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 106 I am a nobleman

Chapter 106 I am a nobleman

The third match will officially start in another month.

The match lineup for the third game was also finalized after the qualifiers concluded.

Sasuke, Jirobo, Deidara, Naruto, Karin, Temari, Neji, Shino, Gaara.

There were nine people in total, and Karin was lucky enough to get a bye.

Naruto drew number one, and interestingly, Neji was absent because he was cleaning his eyes, so Tenten drew number two for him…

Just like in the original story, the two met.

Naruto was really looking forward to it…

"Main family, branch family, Byakugan, Otsutsuki..."

Naruto chuckled as he looked at the number 1 bamboo stick in his hand.

"Hyuga... Neji."

Sasuke asked curiously, "You seem quite concerned about that guy? He doesn't seem that strong, does he?"

Naruto shook his head slightly: "Based on your own experience, it should be easy to see that strength and potential are not the same thing."

"Can the Byakugan also have Susanoo?"

"Who knows..."

Naruto smiled, turned and left.

He was very interested in Neji.

The combination of high-purity Byakugan and Otsutsuki bloodline will give birth to Tenseigan, which is comparable to Rinnegan.

At least for Naruto who has read the original work, emotionally speaking, he prefers Neji to some random Otsutsuki Toneri.

Not many people are qualified to be born with those eyes, but Naruto felt that Neji should be qualified.

Even if it's not enough, he can use Awashima Myojin to make up for it!

But the prerequisite is that this guy doesn't let go of everything so easily, like in the original story.

A bird in a cage...

The Hokage's child is the Hokage, and the scapegoat's child is the scapegoat...

Naruto didn't like that statement, so he made a change a long time ago—the Hokage's child can also be the Raikage!

In this messed-up world, nothing is impossible if you have enough capital.

All the sorrow and pain stem from insufficient firepower.

As soon as I returned to my lodgings after leaving the Death Forest, there was a knock on the door.

Karin opened the door, and Kimimaro stood outside with Tayuya and Jirobo.

"Naruto-sama."

Kimimaro nodded respectfully.

"Lord Orochimaru asked me to give you his regards."

"Don't just say hello, did he not mention that he wanted you to bring some gifts?" Naruto asked cheerfully.

"Lord Orochimaru asked me to tell you that the cloning technology you requested has made groundbreaking progress, and you will get the results you want by next year at the latest."

As Kimimaro spoke, he turned slightly to the side, revealing Tayuya behind him.

"As for a gift, if you don't mind..."

"I don't mind! Of course I don't mind!"

Naruto stood up with a cheerful smile and greeted him warmly.

"That's wonderful. This is a small gift prepared for you by Lord Orochimaru, mostly some secret ninjutsu techniques..."

As Kimimaro spoke, Tayuya presented a scroll with both hands.

"..."

Naruto opened the scroll and took a look.

The first sentence: "Naruto-kun, you don't think the gift is for Tayuya, do you?"

Naruto silently closed the scroll and tossed it at Kimimaro's feet like trash.

He looked at Kimimaro with an expression that seemed to say, "Hey bro, what's going on?"

"Does he really not care about his own life anymore?"

"The gift is indeed very good."

Kimimaro's lips twitched: "This was just a little joke from the adults..."

"It's not funny at all!"

Naruto snorted and turned to look at Tayuya.

Seeing Naruto looking at her, the pink-haired girl lowered her head shyly.

"She's quite pretty, but unfortunately I don't like to interfere in other people's lives."

Naruto gently pinched the girl's soft chin and chuckled.

"So I'm giving you a choice, and I guarantee that no one will make things difficult for you no matter what you choose."

Tayuya replied without hesitation, "I am willing to follow Lord Naruto!"

Naruto looked slightly surprised: "I thought Orochimaru's subordinates were all loyal to him. That guy has quite the charisma."

"I think she must be a spy Orochimaru sent to infiltrate your inner circle!"

Karin, whose face was dark with anger, quickly spoke up: "Why don't we just kill them?"

Please don't misunderstand.

Kimimaro's expression remained calm: "Almost all of the men under your command who are her age are orphans. Their loyalty to you is simply to become stronger and survive better."

Upon hearing this, Tayuya's tense heart relaxed slightly.

Having experienced so many brutal battles with Orochimaru, she never expected Kimimaro to speak up for her at this moment.

In reality, she was a gift from Orochimaru to Naruto, and had no other significance. This was something Orochimaru told her himself.

However, Orochimaru also told her that if she could get along well with Naruto, she could easily obtain power several times or even dozens of times greater than she currently possessed.

strength…

These were words she couldn't refuse.

What is the purpose of every desperate battle, crawling out from piles of corpses?

Of course, it's an even more powerful force!

Only with strength can one survive better...

Kimimaro was right; her loyalty to Orochimaru was entirely based on all of that.

"Not bad, that's good."

Naruto nodded and beckoned, "From now on, you'll follow Samui."

As he spoke, he looked at Kimimaro.

"Is there anything else?"

"The master is curious about why you came to Konoha."

Kimimaro frankly replied, "My lord said that if it's for the sake of the battle, he can help cause some trouble."

"Did he want to cause trouble himself?"

Naruto scoffed lightly. In the original story, Orochimaru launched the Konoha Destruction Plan at this very moment.

However, it was ultimately just a minor skirmish and did not cause any substantial damage to Konoha.

The power of the Sound Village is still too weak compared to that of the Leaf Village.

But based on Naruto's understanding of Orochimaru, this guy's goal from the very beginning was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Let him do whatever he wants. My disciple is going to kill Danzo. Just tell him not to get in the way. Also, don't delay the research. There may be new research in a while."

"clear!"

Kimimaro nodded slightly and respectfully withdrew.

"You're a pervert..."

Karin bit her lip, her face clearly showing her unhappiness.

"How could that be? You've really misunderstood me!"

Naruto, looking completely innocent, exclaimed, "I'm Karin, a nobleman! Honorary Prince of the Land of Snow, and Guardian Shogun of the Land of Lightning!"

"What do you mean?"

"Silly boy, you mean it's perfectly legal and justified for me to have as many women as I want!"

"..."

Inside the room, Naruto was laughing happily, while Tayuya was at a loss for what to do.

She was older than the Konoha 11s and grew up in a dirty and chaotic place like Orochimaru's experimental base, so she knew a lot and was very clear about her role in being sent to Naruto's side.

"So, what's so special about this woman?"

Sasuke sized up Tayuya: "Doesn't seem very strong. Is she born with a special bloodline?"

Does "good looks count?"

Naruto chuckled: "I'm more interested in beautiful women than geniuses."

"...You'll die from a woman sooner or later!"

Sasuke snorted coldly.

What an unambitious guy!

Just keep being lazy!

I'll surpass you sooner or later!

Just then, the knocking sounded again.

Karin opened the door, and outside were Gaara and his two siblings.

Karin's gaze instantly fell on Temari's face.

"What? You're here to deliver women too?"

"???"
