Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 277 Orochimaru: Am I the sixth brother?

"What? Death?"

In Konoha, everyone watching the light screen stared wide-eyed.

That's right, the figure of Death appeared on the light screen.

There are many legends about the Grim Reaper, but very few people have actually seen him.

Many people doubt whether the Grim Reaper truly exists because they haven't witnessed it with their own eyes.

Even though the Reaper Death Seal had already been revealed on the screen, there were still some people in the ninja world who did not completely believe in the existence of the Shinigami.

For many people, the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave is an existence that is no longer accessible.

Now, seeing that enormous figure on the screen, there's no doubt that it's Death.

Death's face was somewhat ferocious, with his arms outstretched and a short blade between his teeth.

Even through the light curtain, some people felt a tingling sensation on their scalp.

Next, the screen showed Minato summoning the Shinigami to seal half of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and Hiruzen Sarutobi summoning the Shinigami to seal Orochimaru's hands, followed by Orochimaru summoning the Shinigami...

For example, although Hiruzen Sarutobi only sealed Orochimaru's hands when he summoned the Grim Reaper, Sarutobi's own soul was devoured by the Grim Reaper.

and so……

Death: You might make a small profit, but I'll never lose.

However, Orochimaru simply smiled and remained silent.

Looking at Orochimaru, even the Grim Reaper fell silent. He was unlucky to have encountered such a scoundrel.

When Orochimaru obtained the Shinigami Mask, he easily broke the Reaper Death Seal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.

Sarutobi learned about the Reaper Death Seal.

Even now, if Sarutobi were to use the Reaper Death Seal, he could do it.

However, the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique cannot be used casually, since this sealing technique requires the caster to pay with their life.

Minato's Reaper Death Seal could seal half of the Nine-Tails' chakra, but Sarutobi's Reaper Death Seal could only seal Orochimaru's hands? Are you kidding me? He's the Third Hokage! Even if the title of strongest Hokage is somewhat exaggerated, it shouldn't be as weak as the screen says!
Therefore, there is only one answer: the light screen is smearing him.

As for the claim that Orochimaru is the sixth member of the group, well... that doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Any technique can break it; the Impure World Reincarnation can be broken, and so can the Reaper Death Seal.

However, breaking the Corpse Demon Seal is not easy.

Orochimaru was able to easily break the Reaper Death Seal, which is truly remarkable.

Thinking about it, Sarutobi sighed again.

It's a pity Orochimaru went astray; otherwise, he would definitely have been a pillar of the village.

If Orochimaru were here, the village would prosper even more.

how...

Back then, Orochimaru secretly conducted forbidden experiments and even wanted to become Hokage. As Orochimaru's teacher, Sarutobi did not support Orochimaru, but instead supported Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya's disciple.

When Orochimaru's forbidden experiments were exposed, Sarutobi, out of momentary pity, let him go.

Thinking of the 'Konoha Crush Plan' mentioned on the screen, Sarutobi's expression became uncertain.

"My momentary weakness has offended Konoha!" Sarutobi thought to himself, a bitter smile on his face.

However, it's too late to regret it now.

……

"Am I the sixth brother?"

Orochimaru frowned, feeling a little displeased. Why was he called the sixth brother?

Orochimaru was simply a person who pursued the truth.

A person who has transcended base desires hopes to achieve immortality, learn all the world's ninjutsu, and grasp the truth of this world.

For Orochimaru, learning all the ninjutsu in the world would be impossible without a great deal of time, so he strives to develop a technique for immortality.

Orochimaru didn't have much of a clue about developing the art of immortality.

At this moment, Orochimaru reminisces about his childhood.

When he was a child, his parents died. He found a white snake skin in front of the memorial stone. Sarutobi said that the white snake skin represented good luck.

Orochimaru has always kept the white snakeskin he found as a child safe and sound.

Later, he made a contract with Dragon Cave and even met the White Snake Immortal.

As for the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru tried it but failed to learn it.

Sage Mode is not easy to learn.

Tsunade made a contract with Shikkotsu Forest, which is also a sacred place, but she still didn't learn Sage Mode.

To Orochimaru's surprise, it was Jiraiya who surprised him the most.

Jiraiya made a pact with Mount Myōboku.

The three ninjas each made a pact with a sacred land, which together constituted the three great sacred lands.

Jiraiya even learned Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku.

Even though Jiraiya's Sage Mode wasn't perfect, it still surpassed Orochimaru and Tsunade, who hadn't even mastered it.

……

Inside the Grim Reaper's belly, Minato also sighed.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, he, the Fourth Hokage, sacrificed himself. It was thought that Orochimaru would become the Fifth Hokage.

Given Orochimaru's magnanimity, he might surpass him if he becomes Hokage!
But no one expected that the Third Hokage would regain power.

The Third Hokage, who returned to power, failed to elect a Fifth Hokage, which was completely different from what Minato had considered before his death.

What I never expected was that the Third Hokage and Orochimaru, master and disciple, would come to this point. The disciple wanted to kill the master, and the master summoned the Grim Reaper to deal with the disciple. Are they master and disciple or irreconcilable enemies?

But when he thought of Obito, Minato could only smile wryly; he had no right to judge others.

The Nine-Tails' rampage was caused by Obito.

Minato simply couldn't believe it, mainly because Obito had changed so much.

……

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh.

Jiraiya had been teamed up with Orochimaru since childhood, and they had formed a bond. He knew that Orochimaru was a genius.

It's important to know that Orochimaru was the only one among the Legendary Sannin who was born a commoner.

Tsunade, needless to say, is the granddaughter of the First Hokage and is backed by the Senju clan.

Although the Senju clan declined rapidly after relinquishing their name and integrating into the village, they still provided significant assistance to Tsunade during her growth.

As for Jiraiya himself, his family inherited a scroll that allowed him to form contracts with the toad clan of Mount Myōboku, which explains the matter.

Orochimaru, who was originally an ordinary commoner without any bloodline limit, grew up through his own efforts.

Of the three legendary Sannin, Orochimaru was the most difficult to raise.

However, Jiraiya was also surprised that Orochimaru could easily break the Reaper Death Seal and deceive the Shinigami.

Every time Jiraiya saw the old man sealing Orochimaru's hands, he couldn't help but chuckle.

But Jiraiya had received professional training and managed to suppress a laugh, though the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

……

Ah Wei was deep in thought.

The Grim Reaper is an extraordinary power in the Naruto world, but even Orochimaru couldn't control it freely.

In addition, Awei was also curious about the limits of death.

By the way, can the Grim Reaper seal the soul of a Six Paths level being?
If the Otsutsuki clan were to invade the ninja world, how would they respond if the Shinigami were used to fight them?

Having read the Book of Seals of Konoha, Awei also had some understanding of the Reaper Death Seal.

There is a requirement for using the Reaper Death Seal: the caster must have enough chakra, otherwise the target's soul cannot be sealed.

In other words, the strength of a sealed soul is determined by the caster's own abilities and chakra reserves. For example, Minato's limit was sealing half of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

After a fierce battle, the Third Hokage was pierced through the body by the Kusanagi Sword and was on the verge of death, so he could only seal Orochimaru's hands.

In addition, the Reaper Death Seal has a fatal weakness: it is slow. The target must be controlled to ensure that the Reaper can make contact with the target and successfully pull out its soul to devour it.

"If it's to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, is the Reaper Death Seal theoretically possible?" Awei wondered.

Although Kaguya is a special life form, she also has a soul.

The Corpse Demon Sealing Technique targets the soul.

However, controlling Kaguya is difficult, and Kaguya has the largest amount of chakra in the ninja world.

By having the Grim Reaper appear on the screen, Awei actually hopes that some of the geniuses in the ninja world will develop more techniques related to the Grim Reaper.

As for the results, that will take time.

But even if the results are not ideal, there is no loss for Awei.

If it has unexpected results, you could make a fortune.

……

[Regarding Orochimaru's path to redemption...]

Suddenly, the scene on the screen changed, and the Grim Reaper disappeared, replaced by Orochimaru.

As previously stated, Orochimaru successfully redeemed himself during the Fourth Shinobi World War and returned to Konoha after the war.

However, this is truly hard to believe.

Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan caused considerable damage to the village.

Before becoming a rogue ninja, Orochimaru conducted many forbidden experiments in Konoha.

In short, Orochimaru has too many accusations against him.

Konoha is where the most curious people are.

However, instead of showing how Orochimaru was redeemed, the screen showed the scene of Orochimaru's 'resurrection'.

Orochimaru transformed into a white-scaled serpent and took over Sasuke's body, but Sasuke's Sharingan controlled and suppressed his consciousness. Therefore, Orochimaru hid his own consciousness within the Cursed Seal of Heaven on Sasuke's body. When Sasuke was weak, he could use the Cursed Seal of Heaven to revert to his original form.

During Itachi's battle with Sasuke, he sealed Orochimaru with the Totsuka Blade. Orochimaru's small snake, which was trying to save him, was burned to death by Amaterasu while trying to escape. You think that's the end of it? Then you're seriously underestimating Orochimaru.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke used the Heavenly Curse Seal on Anko's body, combined with Jugo's Sage Mode, to separate Kabuto's cells, allowing Orochimaru to be resurrected once again...

[The Cursed Seal of Heaven = Orochimaru's Resurrection Coin.]

Orochimaru: Kill me? Seal me? You're dreaming. I'm the sixth-ranked ninja in the world. You want to destroy me? You'd have to push the ninja world towards the sun...

Red Bean touched a spot on the back of her neck. Although the cursed mark wasn't visible, it was definitely there: ...

Jiraiya:......

Sarutobi: ...

……

Is everything said on the screen true?
If that's the case, then Orochimaru really is the sixth oldest.

I know Orochimaru developed the Cursed Seal, but the Cursed Seal is actually Orochimaru's... resurrection medium?
This is a bit scary.

We've always underestimated Orochimaru!
"Hiss, that's terrifying." A certain ninja gasped.

Previously, I knew Orochimaru was terrifying, but after seeing the Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke, Might Guy, Obito, Madara, and Kaguya, the light screen appeared, and Orochimaru seemed insignificant.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru was able to revive time and time again.

It has to be said that Orochimaru's ability to save his life is truly astonishing.

What is being said on the light screen?
Only by pushing the entire ninja world into the sun could Orochimaru be truly eliminated?

Even if that's an exaggeration, it's enough to illustrate how difficult it would be to completely eliminate Orochimaru.

……

Both Kabuto and Guren looked at Orochimaru, their eyes filled with shock.

Is Lord Orochimaru really as described on the screen?

As for Orochimaru himself, his face darkened.

It is indeed true that the Heavenly Curse Seal was the medium for his resurrection.

But if this continues, Orochimaru's underwear will be stripped off by the light screen.

In the future, it will be much more difficult for Orochimaru to revive.

Sure enough, appearing on the light screen was not a good thing.

Of course, it's fine if you or your subordinates don't appear on the screen.

As for now, some of Orochimaru's secrets have been exposed by the light screen.

This left Orochimaru unsure whether or not to say something.

"Light Curtain, I... thank you so much." Orochimaru muttered to himself.

But upon closer inspection, one can see that Orochimaru's eyes are very cold.

Furthermore, saying that only by pushing the entire ninja world toward the sun can Orochimaru be completely destroyed is giving him far too much credit!

All I can say is that what was said on the screen was a bit too outrageous.

In this way, others might overestimate him after seeing the light screen!
……

In the group chat, Tobirama wanted to have a private chat with Sarutobi.

Orochimaru was a disciple of Sarutobi.

He was, in a way, a grand-disciple of Tobirama.

Knowing that Orochimaru was just a commoner, yet he managed to grow step by step to the level of Kage and research many impressive things, Tobirama was quite impressed.

As for his private conversation with Sarutobi, it was also to learn more about Orochimaru.

Sarutobi watched Orochimaru grow up, and many of Orochimaru's ninjutsu were taught to him by Sarutobi.

Sarutobi must know a lot about Orochimaru.

Currently, Tobirama is quite interested in Orochimaru.

When Tobirama asked, Sarutobi answered truthfully.

As Sarutobi shared everything he knew with Tobirama, Tobirama gained a deeper understanding of Orochimaru.

As Tobirama learned more about Orochimaru, he sincerely admired Orochimaru as a genius.

[Sarutobi: Orochimaru is a genius that only appears once every 10 years.]

[Tobirama: 10 years? Perhaps he'll become a genius that only appears once every 100 years.]

Sarutobi was amazed.

A genius who appears only once in a century?

100 years?
That's way too high a rating.

Konoha's history is less than 60 years old.

How many geniuses have appeared in the ninja world in the last 100 years?
Therefore, Tobirama believed that Orochimaru was a genius who only appeared once every 100 years, while Sarutobi felt that Orochimaru did not deserve such a title.

Geniuses are not lacking in the ninja world.

Konoha, in particular, has many geniuses; otherwise, it wouldn't be known as the cradle of geniuses.

While chatting privately, Tobirama and Sarutobi continued watching the light screen, both curious about how Orochimaru would clear his name.

If possible, Sarutobi also hopes that Orochimaru can be exonerated as soon as possible, and then return to Konoha to contribute to the village.

The death of Jiraiya had the greatest impact on Orochimaru. Having witnessed the deaths of Nawaki and Dan, Orochimaru's mindset was changed.
Even after Orochimaru became a rogue ninja, Jiraiya never gave up on him; the two still shared a bond. Therefore, Jiraiya remained very important to Orochimaru. Consequently, upon learning of Jiraiya's death, Orochimaru's state of mind changed.

The Fourth Shinobi World War, the power of the Otsutsuki clan, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi—all of these were incredibly shocking to Orochimaru…

Most importantly, the main characters need to increase their power, and Snake Auntie can help in some way, so we'll give her a chance to redeem herself.
