The Strongest Hokage

Watching that person flying in the sky made the camp feel terrified, and as he became lower and lower, and got closer and closer, his presence and their horror were getting stronger and stronger.

When Naito’s figure fell to a certain height, one of them has finally managed to get a look on his face, then he immediately recognized his identity.

The stressed atmosphere instantly dissipated.

At that moment, the ninjas who were ready to launch their Ninjutsu froze in their places, then looked at the sky with confused expressions.

“That... That’s not the Tsuchikage! It’s Yuu Naito!”

“Naito-Dono, has finally come to the battlefield again?”

The moment they realized that it was Naito, the expression on their faces became full of respect and admiration.

Under the gazes full of awe Naito landed in Konoha’s camp, then he completely ignored them. With the use of the Ultra Perceive, he quickly determined Orochimaru’s location and headed directly toward him.

All the way long toward Orochimaru walking inside the camp, Konoha’s Ninjas didn’t try to block Naito’s advancement, but they just kept giving him a respectful look.

“Yuu Naito can fly!”

“Yeah... I’m telling you I saw him with my own eyes! Speaking of this made me remember that time when we saw those strange footprints in the clouds...”

Suddenly, the ninja who was talking looked stunned and abruptly stopped talking.

The ninja next to him suddenly widened his eyes and looked at him with a shocked expression.

It turned out that the event they called before a ‘miracle’ was just Yuu Naito walking in the sky!

.....

Naito came straight to the rear of Konoha’s camp. This is where they kept the prisoners to torture them.

It’s difficult to force a ninja to tell his village secrets. Thus, first, you must break his will, then use a unique secret technique, to break into his mind and obtain the intelligence.

It’s almost impossible to make them speak directly.

Each front-line camp will have a prison and a torture area, but this one looked a little bit strange. It seems to have been turned into a laboratory by Orochimaru, and it looked similar to the one he has in Konoha.

For Orochimaru, even if it’s a world war, it’s not important enough for him to stop his researches on the Ultimate Ninjutsu that can give him immortality.

Naito’s arrival wasn’t a secret to Orochimaru, the moment, he put his foot in the camp, Orochimaru got notified.

When Naito walked in this area, he saw Orochimaru coming over toward him, with a smile on his face, then said: “These guys really ended up asking for your help, huh?”

Orochimaru stood there with a touch of mockery on his expression. Obviously, he also felt it was ridiculous from the Elders of the Village to ask for Naito’s help after they made him leave. They didn’t want him to stay because they feared him, but the moment they were in trouble, they asked for his help.

Naito didn’t answer Orochimaru, but gazed at the depth, then walked in.

Silent.

Naito passed directly through Orochimaru’s body as if he was a ghost!!

“It seems that you’ve already transplanted the Mangekyou Sharingan. Did you use Hashirama’s cells?”

Going straight into the interior of the room, Naito looked calmly to his front where Orochimaru was doing some experimentations.

Orochimaru turned around and looked at him with his Mangekyou Sharingan. However, his eyes suddenly turned to its normal state, then he smiled at Naito. Naito looked confused, he didn’t really know how could Ororchimaru pull this out. He seems to be able to activate the Sharingan at will.

Most of the time, the answer is Hashirama’s Cells.

“Well, I have done a lot of complicated experiments so that I could use it, but mentioning it won’t worth wasting your time. This power is nothing compared to yours.”

Orochimaru said that with a firm tone, but he’s evil aura was unusually hidden, it seems that even now he’s still afraid of Naito.

Naito didn’t care much if Orochimaru could use the Mangekyou Sharingan or not. If Orochimaru could somehow awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, perhaps then, Naito will be slightly concerned.

“What progress did you make in the studies of the Soul?” Naito calmly said.

Orochimaru didn’t look surprised that Naito has asked this question. If Naito has come personally to him, then it should be about the results of his researches.

Although Orochimaru didn’t want to share with the others the secrets to immortality, he can’t really say no to Naito.

Moreover, Orochimaru knew that Naito didn’t really care about immortality, he only cares about the soul researches.

Without hesitation, Orochimaru turned to Naito and handed him a scroll saying: “I almost fell into the bottleneck with these research, but this scroll should be more useful to you than the previous one.”

“Also I’ve come to a conclusion... That the body is almost impossible to become eternal, but the Chakra and the Soul could. Of course, the fate of the weak souls will always be the Afterworld. Only with the strong Chakra and the right Ninjutsu, the soul can be forced to stay in this world, and the answer to that may be... The Spirit Transformation Technique.”

Orochimaru looked very serious, he doesn’t really look like that unless he was talking about experiments!

Naito took the scroll that Orochimaru has handed him. But, the moment he heard Orochimaru, his eyes flashed thoughtfully.

The Spirit Transformation can really control the soul, but since the Chakra of the caster can never be infinite, the Soul will never be eternal too.

Naito couldn’t help but think about Hagoromo who have been hiding for centuries in the dark observing the world. He has also given up on his body, and still existed purely in the form of Chakra and Soul.

The Chakra of the Six Paths is too strong. It should be even stronger than the Bijuu. Thus, he could theoretically exist in that form forever.

At the same time, the existence of the Bijuu itself seems to be related to this. The Bijuu doesn’t have a physical form. Their bodies are completely composed of Chakra, and they can be reborn many times. They can’t be killed, this is why they can only be sealed.
