Naruto: If Sasuke Awakens Entry System

"Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a stream of emerald water shot out like a divine sword, effortlessly slicing through all the venomous snakes.

Orochimaru was deeply shocked. "What? You've even mastered S-rank ninjutsu?"

With a swift motion, Orochimaru was cut in half by the Water Severing Wave. Sasuke narrowed his eyes, a bad premonition flashing through his mind. Something felt off—could it be a substitution?

As expected, the severed body turned into mud, and the next second, a brand-new Orochimaru rose slowly from the ground.

Orochimaru was impressed. "You're so young, yet you forced me to use the Substitution Technique. Truly amazing!"

Sasuke's face was solemn. "What a tough opponent!"

Sakura was afraid. "Sasuke, he's too strong. We can't win. Let's run away."

Orochimaru licked his lips. "It's too late to realize that now!"

Suddenly, Naruto fell from the sky, landing in front of Sasuke. "Run? I swear I'll never be a coward again!"

Sasuke felt a surge of excitement. Since returning from the Land of Waves, Naruto had grown rapidly. If it weren't for his entry system, Sasuke might have been overtaken by him...

Sakura was anxious. "Naruto, don't be stubborn. Staying alive is more important than anything else!"

Sasuke's thoughts turned. On the day of the massacre, he was the only coward who survived. Looking back, he realized how cowardly he had been, unworthy of calling himself an Uchiha.

Naruto declared proudly, "My ninja way has always been to do what I say. If I promise not to be a coward, I won't break that promise!"

With that, he charged at Orochimaru.

Sakura was furious. "Foolish Naruto, why are you showing off?" She hurriedly chased after him, covering him from the side.

Orochimaru said disdainfully, "Little brat, you're too bold. Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

In an instant, a strong wind swept in, immobilizing Naruto and the others before it even reached them.

Sasuke's eyes were determined. He had made up his mind. From now on, he would never flee from the battlefield!

Fight! Only fight! He would carve a bloody path to revenge against Itachi!

Swish, swish, swish—his hands quickly formed seals, and in the blink of an eye, he completed them. "Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire!"

As soon as he spoke, the fire dragon swooped down, flattening the howling wind in one fell swoop.

Orochimaru was shocked. Although fire overcomes wind, his Wind Style couldn't be resisted by just any Jonin. It was clear Sasuke's power had reached the top.

Sasuke flashed and appeared, facing Orochimaru.

Behind him, Sakura was very surprised. "Sasuke, you're here."

Naruto grinned.

The flames blazed all around, the high temperature making everyone sweat. However, Sasuke's heart burned even hotter!

Bang, bang, bang—his heart pounded, and an indescribable power surged through his body. The tomoe in his pupils danced like tadpoles.

[Ding, the host's determination to face difficulties is comparable to that of the heroes of the Warring States Period. Comprehend the new entry by yourself: Leadership Temperament (★☆), do you want to merge?]

[Leadership Temperament (★☆): When the team is fighting, increase all attributes of all members by 10% and all resistance by 10%, and increase movement speed by an additional 10%.]

Great, merge immediately!

Almost at the same time, Naruto yelled, "I don't know why, but I feel so full of strength. I'm going to fight!"

Sakura was also full of fighting spirit.

Sasuke raised his lips. "Let's go!"

Orochimaru's face was gloomy. "A group of young birds who have never seen the wind and waves, don't be too arrogant!"

The battle began.

Sasuke and the others cooperated perfectly, fighting Orochimaru on equal terms for a short period.

Sasuke was particularly outstanding. With his lightning speed and leadership temperament, he moved as fast as a gust of wind, flustering Orochimaru.

Naruto's multiple shadow clones were a headache for Orochimaru.

Sakura used illusions to harass him from time to time. Although they had no real effect, they annoyed Orochimaru.

Just when Orochimaru was about to get serious, Anko appeared unexpectedly.

She gritted her teeth. "Orochimaru, I've missed you so much!"

Orochimaru smiled evilly. "So it's little Anko. Why, are you still resentful that your master abandoned you?"

Sasuke and the others stopped.

Anko said coldly. "Stop talking nonsense. I have nothing to say to a Konoha traitor!"

Sakura was very excited. "Great, with Anko here, we're safe!"

Naruto pouted. "I haven't had enough yet."

Sasuke frowned slightly. One Jonin wouldn't be enough unless there were three or five elite Jonin of Kakashi's level, or Kage-level strongmen...

Anko turned to Sasuke. "Uchiha, why don't you leave?"

With that, she rushed towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru raised his chin and made the "Tiger" seal with both hands. "Curse Seal, release!"

As soon as he spoke, Anko immediately turned pale, staggered a few steps, and knelt on the ground.

Naruto was stunned. "No way, this lady is too weak?"

Anko blushed, wanting to complain but not knowing where to start.

Sakura was petrified. They had fought for dozens of rounds just now, how could a Jonin be defeated in one move?

Sasuke hurriedly checked Anko's entry.

[Entry: Pseudo-Heaven's Curse Seal (Gold ★★☆), Marukomon (Gold ★☆)...]

[Pseudo-Heaven's Curse Seal (Gold ★★☆): A double-edged sword. Qualified people can exert Kage-level combat power after mastering it. Unqualified people will suffer huge side effects, becoming weak and even life-threatening when it attacks.]

Sasuke suddenly realized that the curse seal had made Anko lose the ability to resist.

Orochimaru said sinisterly, "You haven't mastered the power of the curse seal yet. It seems my decision to abandon you was not wrong."

Anko said resentfully. "Damn it, you forced the curse seal on me and abandoned me, and now you're making excuses for yourself. You're a complete bastard!"

Sasuke thought to himself that, as expected, the curse seal on Anko was planted by Orochimaru.

Suddenly, Orochimaru sneered. "Anko, I've seen through your tricks. Konoha's Anbu is coming soon, right?"

Anko said stubbornly. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Orochimaru turned to Sasuke. "It's a pity the fun can only end here. I've seen countless geniuses, and in terms of talent, only Uchiha Itachi can match you!"

Sasuke was furious. "Don't compare me with that man!"

Orochimaru smiled. "Sasuke, Konoha has long been rotten. Staying here will only hinder your growth."

"Come to my side. I promise to provide the best resources to train you and guarantee you'll gain power as quickly as possible!"

Sasuke had no expression on his face.

Naruto and Sakura cursed. "Long-tongued bastard, Sasuke won't listen to your nonsense!"

Orochimaru laughed wildly and then slowly sank into the ground. "Sasuke, my door is always open for you..."

Anko wanted to stop Orochimaru but was powerless and could only watch him disappear.

Sasuke frowned deeply. He had to admit that what Orochimaru said made sense. The peaceful environment of Konoha would indeed slow his growth.

[Ding, repel Orochimaru, reward entry: Summoning Technique: Ryuchi Cave (Gold ★★★☆☆), do you want to merge?]

[Summoning Technique: Ryuchi Cave (Gold ★★★☆☆): This technique is a summoning technique that can summon giant snakes to assist in battle. Note: Ryuchi Cave is one of the three holy places. Legend has it that those who are destined can get the "Ryūnosuke Technique" from it. The power of the technique is so great that it can destroy the world.]

Sasuke was shocked. Ryūnosuke Technique, the power to destroy the world? If he could master the Ryūnosuke Technique, revenge on Itachi would be just around the corner!

He could fuse the terms first and then reverse summon to Ryuchi Cave. Although the summoned giant snake might make people suspect a connection to Orochimaru, as long as he was doing the right thing, he didn't have to pay attention to gossip.

Fortune is sought in danger. System, fuse terms!

[Ding, congratulations to the host for mastering the new term: Summoning Technique: Ryuchi Cave (Gold ★★★☆☆)]

One battle to gain two gold terms, and there's also a chance to get the Ryūnosuke Technique. This wave is truly a big profit!

Soon, the Anbu arrived. With Anko's cooperation, Sasuke and the others explained the situation and continued to participate in the Chunin Exam.

However, due to Orochimaru's interference, Sasuke and the others fell behind and didn't arrive near the central tower until noon the next day. Coincidentally, they happened upon the scene where Ino-Shika-Cho was being suppressed by the Sound Ninja trio...
