Chapter 146: The Fourth life experience game.
While Orochimaru was studying the body he had just switched into using the Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu, Naruto was flirting with Hyuga Hinata.
"Naruto, what did you do to Teacher Orochimaru..."
"I didn't do anything too excessive to him; I just deepened the thoughts buried in his heart and manifested them."
Naruto explained calmly. Compared to Orochimaru, who had already been hit by Kotoamatsukami, the delicate body in his arms was what he should be paying attention to now.
"Then..."
"Alright, we haven't seen each other for many days. Why discuss that guy Orochimaru?" Narutointerrupted Hyuga Hinata's questioning. "I'm more concerned about your body."
"Ah? My... body..."
Hyuga Hinata's face suddenly turned red. Naruto's words were truly ambiguous. Furthermore, since girls tend to develop earlier than boys, Hyuga Hinata's figure had already begun to take shape, showing glimpses of her future grace.
"Don't squirm..."
Naruto gritted his teeth. After Hyuga Hinata had undergone cellular-level modification, the scent on her body had naturally changed, and this change was undoubtedly more attractive.
He was almost unable to control his primal urges!
"I..."
The long-absent steam reappeared above Hyuga Hinata's head. She naturally felt the changes in Naruto's body as she leaned against him. While stopping her shy squirming, she closed her eyes bashfully.
Naruto naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He pinched Hyuga Hinata's chin with one hand, tilted it up slightly, and lowered his head to capture her soft lips.
The happy, relaxing time passed quickly. Although Naruto wanted to linger with Hyuga Hinata a while longer, the System would not allow it.
Indeed, the System, which had been silent for a long time, finally showed some activity.
[The fourth life experience game is about to begin. Please be prepared, Host.]
The mechanical voice was so familiar. Naruto's body jolted. After finding an excuse to leave and leaving a Clone to look after Hinata, he hid in an abandoned Root base.
This was the power of the Flying Thunder God. As long as there was enough Chakra, Naruto could travel anywhere in the Ninja World at will, and the time spent was negligible.

...
Opening his eyes abruptly, Naruto looked around. The surroundings looked quite retro; judging by the era, it was an ancient time similar to the Ninja World era.
Propping himself up, Naruto hurriedly checked his body.
"Did I not replace anyone's body this time?"
Naruto reached a conclusion, but then doubt arose in his heart. "The whiskers on my face are gone, and my body's current state... is this the world after death?!"
There is a difference between a flesh-and-blood body and a Soul body. Naruto, whose control over his own body had already improved by several levels, could naturally tell the difference.
But just as Naruto intended to continue investigating the specific state of his body, a huge, never-before-seen monster appeared before his eyes.
"Spatial fluctuations?"
The appearance of this giant monster was not without warning; it was accompanied by spatial fluctuations similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique. Clearly, this monster was not a creature belonging to this place.
Their bodies were almost entirely black, with the head covered by a Bony mask. A long white nose, like an elephant's trunk, was embedded in it, and the huge empty hole in the chest was also quite eye-catching.
Having just scrutinized the monster for a couple of moments, it quickly noticed Naruto as well. After looking down to observe Naruto, it took heavy steps and charged toward him.
He was being treated as food!
Naruto immediately understood his situation. Getting up quickly, he formed hand seals, wanting to mobilize the Chakra in his body.
However, Naruto's body was actually empty, with no sign of Chakra existing.
Just as Naruto stood up, the monster's attack followed. Its huge elephant trunk swung violently, shooting toward Naruto at high speed, intending to wrap him up.
Naruto was naturally aware of the danger. If he were caught by that long trunk, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to, and he would eventually become a delicacy in the monster's mouth.
Boom!
A booming sound rang out as Naruto nimbly dodged the giant monster's strike. The long trunk, having missed its target, naturally left a large crater in the ground.
But then, the stone slabs that had shattered into fragments turned into specks of light in mid-air and finally vanished.
This strange scene stunned Naruto for a moment, but he then performed an emergency crouch, dodging the monster's second attack.
"Relentless!"
With a few clean leaps, Naruto distanced himself from the giant monster. Unable to use Chakra and with no suitable weapon in hand, Naruto's only means of attack was Taijutsu.
But given the difference in their sizes, Taijutsu really wouldn't be very effective.
All Naruto could do was run!
And running was not shameful. Not having figured out the situation of this world yet, Naruto didn't want to easily put himself in a dangerous position.
But just as Naruto had said, this monster was truly relentless. Its intelligence was not high, and once it had identified Naruto as prey, it pursued him doggedly.
A large number of crude ancient buildings were destroyed. Naruto relied on his agile movements to dodge and weave through them, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake off the monster chasing behind him.
Furthermore, after a large amount of exercise, Naruto suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his head, and a sense of hunger surged through him like a tide.
"A Soul body can actually get hungry?"
Naruto, who was constantly dodging attacks, was somewhat incredulous, but the feedback from his body was exceptionally real. Naruto's mobility had indeed noticeably declined compared to before.
"What should I do?!"
Naruto, who had slowed down, felt anxious. He had almost failed to dodge several attacks just now. If this continued, Naruto would sooner or later become a delicacy in the monster's mouth.
"Wanderer! Get out of the way!"
An anxious shout reached Naruto's ears. Narutoreflexively turned his head to look back. A crimson sphere suddenly condensed in front of the monster's white mask, its contained power heart-stopping.
Having finished charging, the monster's powerful strike followed. That rapid flight speed made it impossible for the slow-moving Naruto to avoid!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Naruto, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly noticed something was wrong—he hadn't been hit.
"Thanks!"
Naruto was very grateful to the person who had saved him. However, after blocking the monster's strike, the person dressed in a Black kimono was also injured.
"Go quickly! The aftershocks of the battle will inevitably affect you!"
"I enjoy the thrill of battle, and I already have a suitable weapon." Naruto bent down to pick up a Long sword that had fallen to the ground, casually performing a couple of flourishes. "Mind if I borrow this?"
