When the Leaf Village was destroyed, Naruto, knowing his parents' identity, couldn't help but harbor resentment towards the village.
From a young age, he was bullied, isolated, and treated as the Nine-Tailed Fox, hated by everyone during his most vulnerable and sensitive years.
In an instant, all the feelings of grievance and anger surged forth.
That's why he left directly after hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's apology in front of everyone.
But soon, he pulled himself together.
What if he was ostracized?
He was Naruto Uzumaki! If they didn't acknowledge him, then he would become someone they would acknowledge!
Becoming a ninja wasn't enough, so he would become a Chunin, then a Jonin.
If that still wasn't enough, he would become the Hokage, respected by everyone.
"How foolish and self-important. Don't you think your enthusiasm is exhausting for others?" Orochimaru sneered, continuously releasing spirit mist clusters, with the swirling mist forming faces of agony and wailing.
As a villain, and an extremely rational one at that, he couldn't possibly agree with Naruto Uzumaki's foolish statements.
Or rather, even ordinary people would find someone like Naruto Uzumaki, who talks to himself, very troublesome.
"Master, a person like Naruto Uzumaki can indeed feel very heavy at times," Alpha said, looking at the forest being continuously destroyed by the intense battle between the two, and largely agreed with Orochimaru's words.
Between the two individuals favored by fate in the Ninja World and the Pirate World, he preferred Luffy—that innate thick-skinned, passionate, and free player who understood how to respect his companions and wouldn't force others to accept his views.
"Don't be brainwashed by Orochimaru. Villains always have a self-consistent theory," Fang Yi said with a smile, having already seen through everything. "Indeed, compared to Straw Hat Luffy, Naruto Uzumaki doesn't have that freedom and detachment, but for ordinary people, Naruto Uzumaki is the hero they need."
Straw Hat Luffy, Shanks, and Roger are the most perfect Adventurers born in the Pirate World—they are driven, passionate, and willing to risk their lives to achieve what they believe in, spending their entire lives pursuing freedom and adventure.
However, such great Adventurers won't help ordinary people who are lost in confusion.
Even when Nami, whom Straw Hat Luffy stubbornly tried to get to join his crew, saw her beloved navigator being deceived by Arlong and her cherished village occupied, Straw Hat Luffy remained silent.
It wasn't until Nami spoke up, and the villagers, led by Genzo, were willing to take up arms and resist, that Luffy would help them.
That's what an Adventurer is.
Only when you are willing to pull yourself out of the mire and put in the effort will an Adventurer extend a helping hand.
"Naruto Uzumaki doesn't have Luffy's keen, almost beast-like intuition that allows him to directly perceive the inner thoughts of ordinary people," Fang Yi said with a smile. "He has never felt warmth, so most of the time, he approaches others in a clumsy and awkward way."
When his best friend Sasuke Uchiha wanted revenge, Naruto couldn't understand, so he could only beg Sasuke to stay.
When Hyuga Neji wanted to break free from his cage, Naruto couldn't understand, so he sincerely promised him that he would change everything.
Naruto didn't understand Gaara's pain of being repeatedly assassinated and betrayed by his closest kin, nor could he comprehend the complex bond between Haku and Zabuza.
He was like a kind child growing up stumbling, taking everything to heart, and then offering what he thought was good to others.
Naruto Uzumaki is passionate, kind, persistent, and resilient. He is willing to stand up for ordinary people who are oppressed, and he is willing to consider anyone who has been hurt.
He's not a fake saint; he is truly capable of sacrificing everything to save the world.
For strong individuals like Sasuke Uchiha and Hyuga Neji, who can change their own predicament, Naruto Uzumaki's love and will are indeed too heavy.
But for those ordinary humans struggling in the mud, Naruto truly does what he says.
He wants to become a hero acknowledged by others, and he truly can do it, shining his sun-like warm light on everyone who longs for sunshine.
"This is bad, these Navy abilities are too troublesome." Naruto Uzumaki, who was almost submerged by the undead army, suddenly felt the pressure greatly reduced.
His holy flame was on the verge of extinguishing, and his armor was pierced with several holes. He had fatal injuries all over his body and had reached his limit.
Facing Orochimaru, who was worth millions in game value, alone was indeed too much. If it weren't for the Holy Light attribute's counter, he wouldn't have lasted even these short two minutes.
Naruto Uzumaki gripped his Claymore tightly, propping himself up with difficulty on the ground.
He saw Orochimaru continuing to run towards the safe zone, apparently with reinforcements coming.
Not far away, a Navy Admiral in a cloak of justice, Sakazuki, released his extremely enhanced Observation Haki and quickly found the two fighting.
"Don't even think about running!" Naruto Uzumaki panted, but still forced himself to use his last bit of stamina, leaping high into the air. His final holy flame condensed on the edge of his golden Claymore, and he swooped down towards the fleeing Orochimaru.
Splat.
Orochimaru turned his head, a hint of anger appearing in his golden snake eyes.
His mouth opened wide, and a purple-quality longsword floated out from his throat, shooting through Naruto Uzumaki's chest like an arrow.
The holy flame completely extinguished, and Naruto Uzumaki's body shattered into white light particles, returning to the nearest town to await revival.
But the slight delay he caused successfully allowed Sakazuki to catch up and intercept the escaping Orochimaru.
"Blond brat, commendable courage, but it's a pity you're not Navy." Sakazuki did not stingy his praise for Naruto Uzumaki.
Although he was furious at being defeated by a young brat, the opponent was young, possessed such great strength, and could confront evil without hesitation—he was simply a natural Navy candidate born to bear justice.
If possible, send Navy scout units to communicate with the Otherworld and see if they can recruit the blond brat.
Orochimaru said with a cold gaze, "Navy, you are not my opponent."
First, he was defeated by the Dragonman leader, losing a large number of undead troops. Then he was chased by everyone, and finally fought with Naruto Uzumaki.
Now, he had reached his limit.
His recovery potions were exhausted, his HP and energy were only 40% of their full state, and his undead army had suffered more than half casualties.
He needed to recuperate for a period of time before he could fully recover his peak combat strength.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have struggled so evenly with Naruto Uzumaki and even needed to use Muzan Kibutsuji's flesh and blood as a shield.
Sakazuki, at the very least, was a Navy Admiral with 500,000 reward points in game value and extensive combat experience.
So Orochimaru didn't want to fight.
"Hellhound!" Sakazuki, without a word, directly unleashed a magma fist, smashing it towards Orochimaru's face.
There was no rule in the Pirate World that you had to stand still while talking; everyone fought while talking, and threw punches first upon meeting, unless your strength was equal to theirs, only then would you have the right to negotiate.
Undead Meat Shield.
Muzan's tattered flesh and blood were pulled out to block the magma fist.
Orochimaru's cold gaze fixed on the burly Navy Admiral, and he said, "Do you want to die, Navy?"
The battle with Naruto Uzumaki had already caused a delay, and if he continued to fight, the subsequent pursuers would soon arrive.
Sakazuki sneered, "If I can, then you try it!"
"Since you're seeking death, then don't blame me, Mr. Navy Admiral." Orochimaru suddenly revealed a sinister smile.
Opening his mouth wide, a brand new body crawled out and ran towards the Elvin Line, while the body standing in place did not transform into snake skin like the Shedding Skin Jutsu, but was an equally intelligent clone.
Sakazuki's Observation Haki sensed that the one escaping was the main body, and he wanted to pursue it but was blocked by the clone.
"All my remaining power is concentrated in this clone. Are you ready to die?" The clone Orochimaru's eyes burst with intense killing intent.
Chasing him like this, did they really think he was a soft persimmon who would swallow his anger?
Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish.
A pitch-black, hexagonal badge appeared.
[Death Duel Badge]: After both players agree to a duel, a [Tier 1 Game Arena] will be opened. Players who die within the arena will truly die.
Like the Gambler's Duel Badge, it was also a rule-type item for arenas.
The difference was that losing a gambler's duel only resulted in a random deduction of reward points, equipment, and skills given to the winner.
But the Death Duel Badge truly meant death.
"Your name is Orochimaru, right?" Sakazuki's face was cold, and he too erupted with strong killing intent, saying, "Are you challenging the justice of the Navy?"
He was not a deserter who would shout for pirates to leave the battlefield after a war had begun.
He was a tough, iron-blooded Navy, Admiral Akainu.
Any action that would disgrace justice would be met with his scorching fist.
After some time,
[Duel End, Winner [Orochimaru]!]
Navy Headquarters, including Fleet Admiral Sengoku and other high-ranking Navy officers, as well as Akainu's game friends, all received a shocking game notification.
The peak combat power of Navy Headquarters, Admiral Akainu, had fallen in battle!
