Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 899 An unexpected meeting
Seeing Qingming getting closer and closer to him, Orochimaru recalled the kunai that Qingming had thrown at him not long ago, and checked his own condition, and made a decision without much hesitation.

He stopped and suddenly faced Qingming, forming a seal and performing the "spiritual communication technique" again.

However, this time, he did not plan to summon spiritual beasts such as thousands of snakes, but directly summoned a coffin.

That’s right, it’s just an ordinary coffin.

It emerged from the ground and stood upright. There was no decoration on it, and it looked as simple as a newly made coffin.

However, it was this simple coffin that made Qingming stop in his tracks.

He looked at the coffin and knew in his heart that his goal had been achieved. Orochimaru had indeed mastered the S-level forbidden technique - Impure World Reincarnation!
If he guessed correctly, the inside of this coffin should contain the Impure Earth Body that he created in the underground laboratory in Konoha Village a few days ago.

This kind of Impure Earth Body not only has the characteristics of infinite chakra, but also has a large degree of immortality, which can be said to be very difficult to deal with.

"I just don't know who this Impure Earth Body is, how well Orochimaru has mastered it, and how strong he is?"

Qingming thought so in his heart.

On the other side, seeing that there was only solemnity and caution in Qingming's eyes, without any curiosity or fear, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel moved.

He stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and asked tentatively: "Lord Qingming, from the look of you, it seems that you know what is in here?"

Qing Ming did not pay much attention to Orochimaru's temptation, but just waited for the other party's next move.

Qingming was not worried that the other party would waste time with him here. The kunai that Minato Namikaze gave him had already been activated by him, and the other party might come over at any time.

Therefore, Orochimaru would definitely not waste too much time with him here.

As expected, seeing that Qingming did not respond with a word, Orochimaru immediately withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the coffin in front of him as if he were looking at a rare treasure, half talking to himself, half introducing it: "This is my first work, I hope you can enjoy it."

As he spoke, his hand seal changed.

Then, there was a "bang" sound, and the lid of the coffin fell to the ground, revealing the figure inside.

The moment he saw this person, Qing Ming's pupils suddenly shrank.

He was not frightened by the cracks all over the man's body, but was surprised by his identity.

Step~
Heavy footsteps sounded.

Inside the coffin, the man took a step forward and stepped one foot out of the coffin.

Step~
Another step to follow.

The man had both feet out of the coffin.

The faint light from the sky shone on him, reflecting his face.

It was none other than Danzo who was killed by Qingming a few months ago.

However, Danzo had just come out of the coffin and seemed to be still not fully conscious.

This made him not pay attention to Qingming, with whom he had a life-and-death feud, at the first moment. Instead, he followed the connection of "Immortal Reincarnation" and turned to look at Orochimaru on the side.

The moment he saw Orochimaru, he seemed to wake up from a dream and regained consciousness.

The next moment, his expression became extremely ugly, and he shouted directly at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, how dare you make me a puppet? Are you going to betray the village?"

However, facing the furious Danzo, Orochimaru had no intention of explaining. Before he could continue to get angry, he interrupted and said, "Danzo-sama, please take a look over there first."

As he spoke, Orochimaru raised his chin and pointed at Qingming.

Seeing this, Danzo temporarily suppressed his anger and looked towards Qingming in the direction he pointed.

In just a moment, he stood there in a daze.

But the next moment, he roared: "It's you? You evil Uchiha brat, how dare you kill me? Do you know what you have done? What on earth does the Uchiha clan want to do?"

Originally, Qing Ming wanted to say something, but after hearing the other party's series of questions, he immediately lost interest in talking to him and just watched his performance quietly.

At the same time, I am also carefully feeling the difference between it and the real person.

At first, he was indeed surprised that Orochimaru's first Impure World Form was Danzo.

After all, after Danzo was killed by him, his body was burned to ashes.

In order to perform the "Impure World Reincarnation" and pull a person's soul from the Pure Land, at least a hair or gene of the target is needed as a medium.

And this is the condition that has been improved by Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi.

Now.
When Orochimaru first learned this technique, the requirements would become more stringent. For example, a piece of flesh and blood tissue in the body.

But obviously, Danzo, who was burned to ashes, did not have this.

But Orochimaru did it.

In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, Orochimaru already has Danzo's body tissue in his hands.

Considering the birth of Yamato who was a fusion of Hashirama's cells, and the Sharingan arm transplanted by Danzo later, Qingming felt that this was not impossible.

As an ambitious man, Danzo might have asked Orochimaru to study the method of fusing Hashirama's cells and Sharingan for him a long time ago.

In this case, it is normal to hand over some experimental samples.

These experimental samples can be used as materials for Orochimaru to perform the "Impure World Reincarnation".

With this thought in mind, Qingming immediately recalled the entire process of his fight with Danzo. After confirming that he had not revealed any other important information except the Mangekyō Sharingan, he felt relieved.

In this way, Orochimaru won't know too much from the other party.

Well.
Although it seems that they don't have time for such communication, it is still a hidden danger.

Today, Orochimaru can perform the "Impure World Reincarnation" and summon Danzo's soul from the Pure Land, so as to obtain information about him by understanding the whole process of how he killed the other party.

So, what about tomorrow?

Is it possible for other people to summon some souls related to him in a similar way and know his secrets or arrangements?

This has to be guarded against!
"It seems that I need to complete the 'Heart Sealing Soul Contract Instant Body Seal' as soon as possible."

Qingming thought so in his heart.

Only by perfecting this technique, giving him the means to bind souls, could he ensure that certain secrets would not be leaked.

Fortunately, he has already mastered the 'Spiritualization Technique', and once it is perfected, he can start trying to perfect this technique.

In addition, the soul in front of him might be able to provide him with some help.

Thinking of this, Qingming looked at Danzo with a different gaze again.

Perhaps he felt uncomfortable being looked at by Qingming as if he was examining merchandise, and Danzo suddenly became furious.

He gritted his teeth and said to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, forget about turning me into a puppet for now. Now, release your control over me immediately. I will eliminate this hidden danger for the village today."

As he said this, he stared at Qingming, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Seeing this, Orochimaru chuckled twice, and without saying anything in rebuttal, he really released the restrictions on Danzo.

In fact, this is also a forced choice.

For Orochimaru now, the Impure World Body is not so easy to control, and it may get out of control if he is not careful.

If you want the opponent to not lose control and fight according to his ideas, you must suppress his power.

But the reduction in strength will make the ninjutsu less effective and thus won't provide much help.

Thus, we entered a death spiral.

And this is also the reason why Orochimaru had never used this technique in previous battles.

Because whether facing Jiraiya or Uchiha Qingming, an ordinary helper cannot affect the overall situation at all.

Now it is different.
As an Impure World Body, Danzo is willing to fight!
In this way, he would not have to suppress the opponent's combat power, but could completely remove the restrictions and allow him to exert 100% or even 120% of his combat power.

In this way, he gained a helper with fairly good strength. Even if he could not kill Qing Ming, he could at least tie him up and give him a chance to escape.

Not only that, he can also accumulate relevant experimental data through this battle, so as to prepare for the improvement of "Immortal Reincarnation" in the future.

With this thought, Orochimaru couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, looked at Qingming and said: "I hope you have fun next time!"

As he spoke, he turned around and left the battlefield.

After seeing this scene, Qing Ming did not try to chase.

Not to mention that his purpose of verifying whether Orochimaru has mastered the "Immortal Reincarnation" has been achieved, so there is no need to keep pestering him. Even if he wants to chase him, Danzo in front of him will not let him pass.

Moreover, as mentioned before, he was also interested in Danzo's soul.

In this case, there is no need to pursue.

As for the task assigned to him by Minato Namikaze
The other party hasn't shown up yet, why does he care so much?
