Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

The violent chakra fluctuations spread from behind Jiraiya.

Now, Jiraiya finally understood why he had been feeling strange.

He slowly turned his head.

When he looked back at the scene behind him.

In that instant, Jiraiya's expression changed drastically, and his entire face suddenly turned pale white.

His expression suddenly darkened.

At this moment, Naruto, whose body was emitting crimson chakra, was staring fiercely at Jiraiya with his eyes.

Jiraiya, who possessed senjutsu chakra, was now seen as the most threatening existence in Naruto's eyes.

His primary target naturally became Jiraiya.

Sasuke behind him glanced at his left shoulder. The previous Rasengan had struck him solidly.

It didn't feel good at all!

It was basically as if half of his life had been taken.

Though Sasuke now really wanted to settle accounts with Jiraiya.

Delaying any further might cause unnecessary trouble.

"Good luck, Jiraiya. I hope you don't die at the hands of a berserk jinchūriki!"

"Otherwise, that would be too unfortunate!"

Hearing Sasuke's voice, Jiraiya felt extremely frustrated.

Sasuke had actually pushed Naruto into berserk mode.

And it happened to be at this moment.

Otherwise, he could have dealt with Sasuke together with Naruto.

At that time, capturing Sasuke wouldn't have been a problem.

But it was unexpected that Naruto would go berserk right now.

"Sasuke Uchiha, you're the one behind this, aren't you?"

"You actually made Naruto go berserk. Do you know that if this continues, Naruto might..."

Sasuke coldly glanced at Jiraiya.

"What happens to Naruto should be your concern!"

"And next time we meet, Jiraiya, I'll return that strike to you!"

With that, lightning erupted instantly.

Sasuke charged forward and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Watching the direction Sasuke left, Jiraiya was furious.

But there was nothing he could do.

He could only watch Sasuke escape, and his main problem now was...

To figure out how to suppress the berserk Naruto.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Jiraiya wasn't sure if he could suppress the berserk Naruto.

After all, this was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, and his current physical condition was...

Not very good!

"I need to figure out a way to summon Fukasaku and Shima-sama!"

"Otherwise, relying on my current strength, it might be difficult to suppress Naruto..."

He raised his hand, bit his finger... and slammed it onto the ground!

Summoning Jutsu!

Boom!

A massive white smoke spread out.

At that moment, Sasuke, who had already left, looked back at the distant white smoke.

"Summoning a summon beast, huh!"

"Jiraiya, remember this, I won't forget the grudge from that strike!"

Sasuke's current situation was far from good.

Hit by a Rasengan, if it weren't for Sasuke narrowly dodging the fatal blow at the last moment, he would likely be dead by now.

In his heavily injured state, Sasuke couldn't hold out much longer.

He could only try to increase the distance and head toward the Sound Ninja Village.

Then he would find a place to rest properly.

It seemed impossible to hurry back quickly.

But still, his speed was impressive, like lightning.

After running for several minutes, Sasuke had not yet found Orochimaru's whereabouts.

He didn't know which direction Orochimaru had gone, but the final destination would be the same.

Sasuke decided to deactivate his Lightning Release: Shunshin.

He found a safe spot to rest and tended to his injuries.

The Rasengan had caused Sasuke's left shoulder bone to shatter, and the flesh was easily torn apart.

Being able to hold out until now was already Sasuke's limit.

After resting for a whole night, the next morning Sasuke set off.

He felt much better, though his injuries hadn't fully healed.

But at least his mental state had improved significantly.

After returning to the Sound Ninja Village, Sasuke went back to Orochimaru's base.

Orochimaru had long since returned.

The ones who greeted Sasuke were the Four Sound Ninja.

They looked at Sasuke with slightly different expressions.

"Lord Sasuke, Lord Orochimaru instructed me to tell you that after your return, Tsunade, one of the Sannin, has already begun treating Kimimaro!"

"At the same time, after Tsunade finishes treating Kimimaro, we hope you won't make things difficult for her and let this woman leave!"

Hmm?

The first part wasn't surprising, but Sasuke was a bit puzzled.

What's going on with Orochimaru? Why did he want him to let Tsunade go?

Tsunade was treating Kimimaro, but what about Orochimaru himself?

Didn't he want Tsunade to examine his hands?

Sasuke felt something was off.

He decided to visit Orochimaru first.

After asking for his location, Sasuke arrived at a certain laboratory in the base.

It was called a laboratory, but in reality, it was just a room filled with equipment, not meant for experiments at all.

When he opened the door, the first thing Sasuke saw was Orochimaru sitting in a chair with his back to the door.

The entire atmosphere in the room felt strange.

"What's going on?"

Sasuke's first words went straight to the point.

However, Orochimaru didn't get up.

"Good to see you back, Sasuke-kun. I just want to rest alone. Could you please not disturb me?"

Sasuke, who had planned to ask some questions, paused.

Why did Orochimaru seem so down, as if he had lost all hope in life?

His tone carried a sense of despair, almost like death itself.

What was going on?

Confused, Sasuke glanced at Orochimaru.

Since the other didn't want to be disturbed, he decided to leave.

Sasuke exited the laboratory.

At that moment, Orochimaru stared at his hands.

"Hiruzen... Sensei…"

"You've destroyed me again!"

"By sealing my hands, you took everything from me."

It seemed that at this moment, Orochimaru had realized that even if he asked Tsunade to treat him, it wouldn't make a difference.

The problem wasn't with his body; it was with his soul.

The soul taken by Hiruzen Sarutobi left Orochimaru unable to use his hands ever again.

Unless...

He could find a way to retrieve the lost soul.

But Orochimaru knew all too well what the Reaper Death Seal was.

Suddenly, he lost all hope. All these years of work had turned to nothing...

Even with the best possible vessel, turning his body would still be futile. His hands would never recover!
