Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 162: Catching Up (Part )
Three years of reincarnation period.

This does not mean that this body can only last for three years, but that after Orochimaru changes to a new body, he cannot change it again within three years. Perhaps it is a physical limitation, or perhaps it is a mental obstacle. In short, the three-year period refers to the shortest replacement period, not the longest limit.

That is to say, as long as Orochimaru is willing.

The body he replaced can be used indefinitely.

As long as nothing unexpected happens.

But obviously, something unexpected has happened now.

The damage brought to Orochimaru by the Shiki Fuinjutsu was far beyond his imagination. At first, it was just because he lost his hands, but in the subsequent feelings and experiments, Orochimaru could clearly feel that his body was being corroded by the special power spreading from his hands. Once it spread to the whole body, this body would naturally be destroyed. Before that, Orochimaru must transfer his "soul" out in advance.

Otherwise, it will be destroyed along with the body.

This is also the reason why Orochimaru was so happy when he got the real solution to the Shiki Fuujin Jutsu from Menma, and then couldn't help but go to find Tsunade. This is not just a problem of his hands.

Unfortunately, Tsunade rejected him. The "method" provided by Menma had not yet undergone systematic and complete experiments, and no accurate information had been received from Konoha, so Orochimaru naturally had no idea where to start.

So, in order to solve the serious problems brought about by this procedure.

There was only one solution Orochimaru could consider.

That is to continue to use the Reincarnation of the Undead to replace himself with a new body. If everything goes well and the prediction is correct, the new body can allow him to temporarily get rid of the influence of this technique, and even his hands that have been sealed can be "restored to their original state"!
But this must be only 'temporary'!

Because the 'soul of Orochimaru's hands' that truly belonged to him were already in the belly of the god of death.

In the end, we must return to the real solution provided by Menma.

But now Orochimaru must rely on the Reincarnation Technique to prolong his life.

"Now? Lord Orochimaru, Uchiha Sasuke will probably arrive in two or three days. With Menma-kun's help, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?"

As Orochimaru's most trusted subordinate, Kabuto Yakushi knows better than anyone else how much his lord Orochimaru desires Uchiha Sasuke's body and yearns for the power of the Sharingan.

This time, I finally have the chance to obtain the orthodox Uchiha bloodline.

Are you going to let it go just like that?
Yakushi Kabuto said he couldn't understand.

"Kou, do you think my body can continue to hold on? If it weren't for avoiding Menma's detection, I would have wanted to change my body a few days ago. The corrosiveness of this technique is still far beyond my expectations, ahem..."

Orochimaru shook his head slightly and spoke in a very weak voice.

This was also the most embarrassing time for Orochimaru since he defected from the Hidden Leaf Village. The last time he was killed instantly by Uchiha Itachi.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Orochimaru. I will make preparations immediately."

After all, Kabuto Yakushi is not the person involved, and even with the monitoring instruments, he still cannot perfectly understand Orochimaru's feelings, but Orochimaru's orders are absolute.

After bowing in response, Kabuto Yakushi turned around and went to make final preparations for Orochimaru's reincarnation.

"Sharingan, now is not the time, now is not the time, but one day, hehe, Itachi-kun, whether it is you or Sasuke-kun, everything you have will belong to me, and will definitely belong to me! ! "

At this moment, a hint of extreme madness appeared in Orochimaru's sick snake eyes.

Menma sets off and Orochimaru changes his body.

Different actions taken by each.

At the same time.

Starting from the Hidden Leaf Village all the way to the westernmost border of the Land of Fire, the team led by Naruto also launched the most intense chase battle with the Four Sound Ninjas.

Under the interference of other Konoha ninjas in front of them, it was obviously less than two days' journey at most.

It's a waste of time to add nearly one third of the distance.

They also encountered attacks from some garrison ninjas in certain places. The time wasted was enough to kill several ordinary Konoha middle and lower ninjas.

But it also bought the most critical time for Naruto and Shikamaru's pursuit team.

It took a little more than a day to complete the whole process.

Naruto finally caught up with the Four Sound Ninjas who took Sasuke away.

"You bastards, give Sasuke back to me!"

Naruto saw the Four Sound Ninjas running ahead from a distance and immediately shouted loudly.

A powerful chakra aura burst out from his body, far exceeding that of an ordinary Chunin.

It also directly attracted the attention of the four Sound Ninjas in the front position.

"Humph, they are here to pursue us again. What a bunch of people who don't know how to live or die!"

Tayuya, the only female among the four Sound Ninjas, glanced at Naruto and his group who were hundreds of meters away from them, and said with a hint of disdain in her pupils.

Under normal circumstances, the strength of the Four Sound Ninjas has already surpassed that of most Chunins. After activating the curse seal mode, they can definitely reach the level of Jonin.

In the ninja world, this person is already standing at the top of the pyramid.

In their eyes, they were the absolute confidants cultivated by Lord Orochimaru with great efforts, so how could these rubbish be qualified to be compared with them! ?
"Just like before, defeat them quickly and then set off again."

Tayuya continued in a cold voice.

"No, we have already wasted too much time. We cannot waste any more time. If we make Orochimaru wait any longer, it will be our fault. Jirobo and Kidomaru, the two of you will stay here to stop them. Tayuya and I will take Sasuke away first. Remember, don't fight too long. You can retreat as long as we can delay for a while!"

When Kimimaro did not go into battle.

Sakon is the captain of the four and is responsible for command.

Generally speaking, the other three would still follow Zuo Jin's command.

"Don't worry, Sakon. They're just some little ghosts. There's no problem at all!"

Kidomaru licked his lips as if he were Orochimaru, and said with a cold look on his face.

"Ok!"

Jirobo on the side also responded with a buzzing sound.

He handed the wooden barrel containing Sasuke on his back directly to Sakon who was standing beside him.

As Sakon and Tayuya sped up their departure.

"Buzz!"

"boom!"

Jirobo and Kidomaru activated the curse seal without any hesitation, entering the first form, and then suddenly attacked the position where Naruto, Shikamaru and others were rushing towards from behind.
