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

Chapter 371 Black Zetsu Jinchūriki - Orochimaru

10 White Zetsu ignited the Fourth Shinobi World War, with the battlefield located in the Land of Grass.

The first to be affected was the Grass Ninja Village.

Grass Village is just a small ninja village, and its strength is far inferior to that of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Under the onslaught of 10 White Zetsu, Kusagakure was utterly unable to withstand the onslaught and was completely routed.

On the other side, Madara regained control of his body and continued fighting the Sand Ninja.

Since they were already in Sunagakure, Madara didn't mind letting the Gedo Mazo devour the One-Tailed Beast first.

Of the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure is arguably the weakest.

After Black Zetsu took control of Madara's body, he engaged in a battle with the Sand Ninja, causing them heavy losses.

Now, with Madara's power, crushing Sunagakure would not be difficult.

As for Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, he's still a kid and not worth worrying about.

Although Black Zetsu was very unwilling, he still chose to escape first.

Madara thought that after destroying Black Zetsu, Black Zetsu would definitely become less vigilant, which was a good thing for Black Zetsu.

Since Madara believed Black Zetsu was dead, Black Zetsu would have a greater chance of succeeding if he were to launch another surprise attack on Madara.

Using the Mayfly Technique, they left the valley where Sunagakure was located.

Somewhere in the desert of the Land of Wind, Black Zetsu emerged from the ground.

However, as soon as Black Zetsu showed his face, a Yamata no Orochi appeared.

One of the eight-headed serpent's heads peeked out, its gaping maw wide open.

Black Zetsu was swallowed before he could even react.

Black Zetsu: ???
This Yamata no Orochi is Orochimaru's true form.

Orochimaru has his sights set on Black Zetsu.

Orochimaru also saw that Black Zetsu was controlling Madara's body.

Madara thought he had killed Black Zetsu, but Orochimaru discovered that Black Zetsu was not dead.

So Orochimaru, the sixth brother, revealed his true form and swallowed Black Zetsu whole.

As Black Zetsu was swallowed by Orochimaru, a sealing technique was created within Orochimaru's body.

It's a long story, but by the time Black Zetsu realized what was happening, he was already sealed inside Orochimaru's body.

"Orochimaru." Black Zetsu gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Black Zetsu was also very angry.

Black Zetsu was too careless; he focused all his attention on Madara and didn't notice Orochimaru, the sixth one.

It's too late to say anything now; Black Zetsu has already been sealed inside Orochimaru.

It is said that the tailed beasts sealed inside Orochimaru's body are Jinchuriki, but now Black Zetsu is sealed inside Orochimaru's body. So, is he Black Zetsu's Jinchuriki?
You could say that!
However, Black Zetsu and the Tailed Beasts are completely different.

But in Orochimaru's view, Black Zetsu's value is no less than that of the Tailed Beasts, and may even be greater.

What attracted Orochimaru most about Black Zetsu was not Yin-Yang Release, but the secret to Black Zetsu's ability to live for thousands of years, or rather, the art of immortality.

In addition, there's the knowledge Black Zetsu has acquired over thousands of years.

Orochimaru had always longed for immortality.

However, Orochimaru's efforts only extended his lifespan by changing bodies.

Replacing your body with a younger one will extend your lifespan.

However, changing bodies weakens the soul, and it takes three years to change bodies again after each change.

Frequent changes in body can lead to the obliteration of the soul.

Therefore, Orochimaru was very interested in the secret of Black Zetsu's ability to live for thousands of years.

Now that he has become the Jinchūriki of Black Zetsu, Orochimaru has a big smile on his face.

Black Zetsu has been sealed inside Orochimaru's body.

The sealed Black Zetsu was completely unable to escape.

However, getting Black Zetsu to obediently hand over the secret to immortality will definitely not be easy.

"Black Zetsu, we can cooperate in the future," Orochimaru communicated with the Black Zetsu within him.

"Orochimaru, what do you want to do?" Black Zetsu's tone was cold.

At this moment, Black Zetsu was furious.

He was caught off guard and was ambushed by Orochimaru.

Now sealed inside Orochimaru's body, Black Zetsu is feeling very stifled.

Black Zetsu wanted to use Yin-Yang Release, but the sealing technique within Orochimaru's body was extraordinary.

For a time, Black Zetsu was at a loss.

Black Zetsu could guess Orochimaru's thoughts.

Having roamed the ninja world for over a thousand years, Kuro has always maintained a firm grip on people's hearts.

Even when Orochimaru was still a child, Black Zetsu already had a following.

After all, Orochimaru was a disciple of the Third Hokage, and for that reason alone, he deserves Black Zetsu's attention.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Orochimaru earned the title of one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, and his fame began to grow.

As time went on, the number of people paying attention to Black Absolute Orochimaru also increased significantly.

When the light screen appeared, many of Orochimaru's secrets were exposed by it.

By watching the light screen, Black Absolute Orochimaru gained a better understanding of the situation.

Therefore, Black Zetsu still understands Orochimaru quite well.

Knowing Orochimaru's pursuits and personality, Black Zetsu can easily analyze what Orochimaru wants.

They definitely want to live forever.

Of course, it would be best if one could obtain his knowledge of Black Zetsu's thousands of years of history, as well as Yin-Yang Escape.

But Orochimaru's primary goal is definitely immortality.

But to be honest, Black Zetsu couldn't grant Orochimaru immortality.

Even Black Zetsu's two foolish older brothers failed to achieve immortality.

The Sage of Six Paths all died of old age.

Even the Great Toad Immortal, the Slug Immortal, and the White Snake Immortal of the three holy lands, although they have all lived for thousands of years, are getting older and older and still have a lifespan.

Even Black Zetsu has a lifespan limit.

Like the Otsutsuki clan from outer space, they can generally only live for a few thousand years.

Of course, for humans, living to be a hundred years old is already remarkable, and living for thousands of years is simply unbelievable.

The history of ninjas is only about a thousand years, far less than two thousand years.

As for Kakuzu's Earth Grudge, which extends lifespan by replacing the heart, there is a limit. If one thinks that cultivating the Earth Grudge will truly make one live as long as heaven and earth, then one is simply too naive.

However, Black Zetsu has a way to extend Orochimaru's lifespan. He can't say for sure how much, but he has a way to help Orochimaru live for decades or even centuries longer. In fact, he has quite a few ways.

But why would Black Zetsu help Orochimaru?
Unless Orochimaru can demonstrate sufficient value.

Black Zetsu was already quite unhappy about being sealed inside Orochimaru's body.

Let alone helping Orochimaru, Black Zetsu would rather strangle Orochimaru.

There's just no way to kill Orochimaru right now.

Unable to escape, Black Zetsu simply lay down for the time being.

Although sealed inside Orochimaru, Black Zetsu is special, and Orochimaru finds it difficult to kill him.

Of course, Orochimaru has many methods, and he may have a way to completely eliminate Black Zetsu, but it certainly won't be too easy.

"Black Zetsu, you don't want to fall into Madara's hands again, do you?" Orochimaru said with a smile.

What if the Black One refuses to cooperate? Orochimaru, of course, has a solution.

Black Zetsu fell silent upon hearing Orochimaru's words.

Madara believed Black Zetsu was dead, but if Orochimaru handed Black Zetsu over to Madara, could Black Zetsu escape from Madara again? It's definitely impossible.

Orochimaru might have a long time to kill Black Zetsu, or even no chance at all, but Madara could kill Black Zetsu much more easily now.

Black Zetsu was very unhappy about being threatened by Orochimaru, but he had no choice but to compromise.

"What exactly do you want?" Even though he had already guessed, Black Zetsu still asked.

But Black Zetsu was actually just a delaying tactic.

Let's keep Orochimaru calm first.

Although Orochimaru has something, he can't keep Black Zetsu sealed forever. Given some time, he can break free.

Once they're free, they won't be threatened by Orochimaru anymore. Even if Orochimaru tells Madara that he's still alive, it's better than the present situation.

"You've lived for a thousand years, you must know the art of immortality, right?" Orochimaru asked.

Just as Black Zetsu had thought, Orochimaru's greatest desire was immortality.

Immortality is Orochimaru's pursuit.

After witnessing the death of Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, Orochimaru developed the idea of ​​pursuing immortality.

Nawaki is not only Tsunade's younger brother, but also Orochimaru's disciple.

As for Rope Tree's death, it was orchestrated by F4.

After all, Nawaki's conditions are too good; if he grows up, he'll definitely be a potential Hokage.

F4 certainly doesn't want another Hokage from the Senju clan.

It was precisely because Orochimaru saw through the darkness of Konoha's F4 that he became disheartened.

Orochimaru then pursued the truth and wanted to learn all the ninjutsu in the world.

But there are so many ninjutsu techniques in the world. Even if you only learn the most basic ninjutsu techniques in the world, it would take a long time, even for someone with great talent.

Orochimaru believed that human lifespan was still too short.

Orochimaru then began researching the art of immortality.

However, the art of achieving immortality is not something that can be easily researched.

Orochimaru's research yielded some results, but they were far from sufficient.

Now, Orochimaru has placed his hopes on Black Zetsu.

"I possess the art of immortality, but it's a technique beyond S-rank, something you can't learn right now," Black Zetsu began spouting nonsense.

The levels of ninjutsu are determined by the difficulty of training, with S-rank being the most difficult to master.

But now, Black Zetsu is saying he's above S-rank, which is complete nonsense.

As for Orochimaru, he was skeptical of what Black Zetsu said.

Orochimaru believed that Black Zetsu must possess the secret to immortality.

Otherwise, how did Black Zetsu return to the present after Kaguya was sealed away? It's been over a thousand years!

It's certain that Black Zetsu possesses the gene for immortality!
All living things have genes, and Black Zetsu should be no exception.

Lifespan is also related to genes.

Those who can live forever must have longevity genes in their bodies.

Currently, Orochimaru does not possess the genes for immortality. However, if he were given the means to cultivate immortality and attain it, he would then possess the genes for immortality.

Now, Orochimaru is considering obtaining the secret to immortality from Black Zetsu, but at the same time, he also wants to extract the immortality gene from Black Zetsu.

The extraction of longevity genes is for research purposes.

It's not wrong to place your hopes on Black Zetsu.

But Orochimaru enjoys research.

With this two-pronged approach, Orochimaru will surely achieve immortality.

While pondering his own plans, Orochimaru was talking to Black Zetsu about the art of immortality.

Black Zetsu has said a lot, but whether it's true or not is hard to say.

Actually, Black Zetsu isn't entirely nonsense; it's probably 99.9% nonsense!

……

Sand Hidden Village.

Luo Sha's face was grim.

Gaara was taken away by Madara.

Although some of the Sand Ninja from the village gave chase, Madara simply flew away.

It will be very difficult to save Gaara.

Madara will definitely use the Gedo Mazo to devour the One-Tailed Beast.

Once the One-Tailed Beast is devoured, Gaara will die.

Furthermore, the Sand Village lost its tailed beasts, greatly weakening its power.

Considering Madara's power, Rasa sent people to Konoha and decided to form an alliance with the village.

After Sunagakure and Konoha formed an alliance, they asked Konoha for help in rescuing Gaara.

Given Madara's current strength, even Konoha probably couldn't handle him.

However, Konoha's strength is significantly greater than that of Sunagakure.

If Konoha could help, and Konoha and Sunagakure joined forces, the chances of rescuing Gaara would be much greater.

For the time being, Luo Sha didn't have any better options.

A group of Sand Ninja, following Rasa's orders, left Sunagakure and headed towards the Land of Fire, but it would take them quite some time to reach Konoha.

The distance between major ninja villages could not possibly be too close.

In addition, there are smaller countries that act as buffers between the five major powers.

Even for a ninja hawk, it would take quite a while to fly from Sunagakure to Konoha.

As for ninjas traveling, it takes even longer.

……

They didn't leave the Land of Wind either.

In the desert of the Land of Wind, Madara fell from mid-air.

He threw Gaara to the ground.

Gaara is still unconscious.

However, the One-Tailed Beast inside Gaara remained fully conscious.

Falling into Madara's hands filled One-Tailed Beast with despair.

Not to mention that the One-Tailed Beast couldn't unleash its full power, even if it could, it would still be suppressed by Madara.

And now, no one can save Yiwei.

The thought of being devoured by the Gedo Mazo filled Ichi-Tachi with despair.

Madara used a summoning technique to summon the Gedo Mazo.

If Black Zetsu hadn't controlled Madara's body, Madara wouldn't have attacked One-Tailed so quickly.

In Madara's opinion, the One-Tailed Beast was still too weak.

Madara, however, preferred to target the powerful tailed beasts.

However, since they couldn't take down the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails, targeting the One-Tails is acceptable.

In terms of chakra reserves, the One-Tailed Beast doesn't rank third among the nine tailed beasts, but its strength is certainly worthy of being ranked third.

Chakra is one aspect of measuring strength, but strength cannot be judged solely by chakra.

Therefore, although the One-Tailed Beast's chakra might not rank third among the nine tailed beasts, its strength might just be third.

However, even if the One-Tailed Beast could unleash its full power, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to Madara.

If Madara activates Susanoo, or summons a meteor to strike, how will One-Tail respond?
But even the One-Tailed Fox couldn't help but resist.

Therefore, before Gaara's body had recovered, the One-Tailed Chakra was released from Gaara's body again.

But this is only a small portion of the One-Tailed Beast's chakra.

No more chakra would be enough, because Gaara's body couldn't handle it.

This is the limit that Gaara's body can withstand now.

Furthermore, the battle must be fought quickly; if it drags on even slightly, Gaara's body will collapse.

But a small portion of the One-Tailed Beast's chakra was nothing to Madara.

Madara wasn't surprised to see that even the one-tailed creature was putting up a stubborn resistance; it was exactly what he expected.

After all, Madara is going to use the Gedo Mazo to devour the One-Tailed Beast, and if the One-Tailed Beast can resist, it will definitely fight back with all its might.

Although the One-Tailed Beast can only use a small portion of its chakra, it can still perform sealing techniques with that chakra.

Madara also understood the sealing technique of the One-Tailed Beast.

Madara sneered when he saw One-Tailed Beast use a sealing technique again.

No matter how powerful the seal is, it's useless if it can't seal the person.

Madara dodged the One-Tailed Beast's sealing technique with a quick movement.

This isn't even Madara's fastest speed, but the One-Tailed Beast's sealing technique can't keep up. If Madara were to go all out, the difference would be even greater.
