In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 91: The existence of another dimension! The difference in strength is huge, don't seek death
In just a few blinks of an eye, Orochimaru, a Kage-level warrior, and Kabuto Yakushi, who was not afraid of Hatake Kakashi at all, had most of their chakra sucked away by the branches on their bodies.

Yagyu did not drain all of their chakra, but after making them fall into a weak state, he stopped absorbing chakra and released the Silent Killing Binding Technique that was immobilizing them.

After breaking free from their restraints, they did not choose to escape.

Because they all know that they cannot escape from this state.

Orochimaru, who left soul fragments in the Heaven's Curse Seal of Uchiha Sasuke and Mitarashi Anko, is actually not that afraid of death.

And through the conversation just now, Orochimaru could also tell that Yagyu came here this time not for Uchiha Sasuke, but for him!
So, Orochimaru quickly calmed down, and under the bandage, he laughed a little hoarsely again: "Such Wood Release and Chakra are indeed not comparable to those replicas implanted with Hashirama's cells. It seems that the Senju of the Forest, which has been in decline for many years, will return to the top of the ninja world again."

After the compliment, Orochimaru got straight to the point: "Since you didn't come here to take Uchiha Sasuke away, and you didn't kill us last time or this time, I guess you must need my help with something!"

Orochimaru's tone was full of affirmation in the last sentence.

"As expected of the legendary Sannin, you can be so rational in this situation."

Yagyu praised, then walked up to Orochimaru, reached his hand into the inner pocket of his black windbreaker, and said with a smile: "I came here this time to make a deal with you, Lord Orochimaru."

After saying that, Yagyu took out a mask from his windbreaker.

It was a white mask with a hideous expression, resembling that of a devil.

"what is this?"

Orochimaru's eyes, which were only exposed, were filled with doubts.

At this time, he obviously had not yet figured out the ability and cracking method of the Shikigami Fūjin, and knew nothing about this mask.

However, Yagyu's next words shocked him greatly.

Yagyu fiddled with the mask in his hand and chuckled, "This mask is called the Death Mask. It is the only way to break the Shikigami Fūjin."

Orochimaru stood up instantly, his eyes with constricted pupils staring at the death mask in Yagyu's hand. His breathing suddenly became extremely rapid and his body was trembling slightly.

If it weren't for reason suppressing the impulse, Yagyu and Kabuto Yakushi had no doubt that Orochimaru would have been unable to resist pouncing on the Death Mask at this moment.

In this regard, Yagyu and Kabuto Yakushi both understand Orochimaru's feelings very well.

Yagyu, as a time traveler, and Kabuto Yakushi, as Orochimaru's most capable assistant, both knew that Orochimaru's obsession with immortality and ninjutsu was beyond everyone's imagination.

In order to gain eternal life and learn all the ninjutsu, Orochimaru is willing to give up everything.

That's right, Sarutobi Hiruzen took away Orochimaru's hands, making him lose the ability to form hand seals and use ninjutsu, which was more painful than killing Orochimaru.

And now, the opportunity to get his hands back is right in front of him, and it is already remarkable that Orochimaru can still hold back.

Looking at Orochimaru whose breathing was extremely rapid, Yagyu did not retreat with the Death Mask in his hand. Instead, he moved the Death Mask in his hand closer and admired Orochimaru's reaction through the window of his mind.

However, his action made Orochimaru calm down quickly.

"what do you want?"

Orochimaru stared into Yagyu's eyes and asked.

Without any hesitation, Orochimaru knew that this Death Mask and what Yagyu said must be true.

If nothing unexpected happens, the transaction that Yagyu mentioned should require the use of his technique.

And at present, he is the only one who knows that technique.

Otherwise, Yagyu would not have taken out the mask of death, let alone been so kind as to help him get his hands back.

"Big people are big people, and their mentality is really good."

Seeing that Orochimaru regained his sanity so quickly and did not lose control and try to snatch the Death Mask, Yagyu could not help but praise him, then casually threw the Death Mask to Kabuto Yakushi with wide eyes, and slowly said: "The power of the Shiki Fuujin is to trade your soul with the God of Death, allowing the God of Death to cut off and take away the enemy's soul. The power of the Death Mask is also to trade with the God of Death, exchanging your soul for the soul devoured by the God of Death."

"Lord Orochimaru, if you want to take your hands back, you must find a sacrifice who is willing to die for you and wear this mask."

"And my deal is very simple. That is to let the sacrifice help you, Lord Orochimaru, get your hands back, and also release the soul of the previous Hokage."

"I see. Your goal is to save the souls of our ancestors?"

Orochimaru looked at the Death Mask in Kabuto Yakushi's hand with a burning gaze, then looked at Kabuto Yakushi, whose expression changed slightly but soon became firm. A relieved smile appeared on his face under the bandage.

Then, Orochimaru nodded to Yagyu and said, "No problem, I promise you."

"I'm not finished yet, Lord Orochimaru."

Yagyu continued with a smile: "After freeing the souls of the previous Hokage, I want you to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to 'revive' them. I want to have a conversation with the previous Hokage."

Hearing this, Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly and he looked at Yagyu deeply.

Obviously, he had guessed Yagyu's purpose.

The conversation is fake, but the real thing is that he wants to get more advanced Wood Release Ninjutsu from the First Hokage, right?
Could it be that there is no Wood Release scroll left by the First Generation in Konoha's forbidden techniques library, or it has been lost?
Thinking of this, Orochimaru suddenly felt happy, and his fear of Yagyu disappeared instantly.

But on the surface, he nodded readily: "It's a small matter, I promise you."

"Then let's get started."

Yagyu raised his head and looked at Kabuto Yakushi who was holding the mask of the god of death.

Orochimaru also looked at Kabuto Yakushi.

Facing the gazes of the two people, there was no fear on Yakushi Kabuto's face. Instead, he took off his glasses and was about to put on the mask of the god of death.

At this time, Orochimaru suddenly said: "Kabuto, go and call Honglian over."

Yakushi Kabuto was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

After walking out of the dimly lit room, Yakushi Kabuto came back with a woman with light purple hair not long after.

Yagyu knew this woman, and her name was also written in Yagyu's diary. She was one of the important characters in the Three-Tail incident in the original work Shippuden, and she was Guren who possessed the Bloodline Limit: Crystal Release.

The other party is one of Orochimaru's reincarnation vessels. If Orochimaru had not been so anxious to obtain Uchiha Sasuke's body and thought he could be reincarnated in time, and had not asked someone to bring Honglian to the base in advance, then Orochimaru's current body would be this woman's.

"Master Orochimaru!"

As soon as Honglian came in, she knelt on one knee in front of Orochimaru, looking at Orochimaru sitting on the throne, her eyes full of fanaticism and admiration.

At this time, Honglian has not yet awakened. Her dream is the same as Kimimaro's, hoping to become Orochimaru's vessel.

For this reason, she felt regretful for not arriving in time, causing Lord Orochimaru to choose Genyoumaru as the reincarnation vessel. She was also very dissatisfied and disgusted with Uchiha Sasuke, who had been confirmed to be the reincarnation vessel three years later.

Looking at Honglian who was kneeling on the ground, Orochimaru asked gently, "Honglian, did Kabuto tell you?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Honglian said fearlessly: "As long as Lord Orochimaru can get back the ninjutsu, I am willing to sacrifice my life." "Don't you regret it?"

Orochimaru said in a gentle voice: "If you don't want to, I can choose someone else to do it."

"I do, and I don't trust those guys either."

Honglian stood up and snatched the death mask from Kabuto Yakushi, looking at Orochimaru with a firm look in his eyes: "My life was originally given by you, Lord Orochimaru. I am very satisfied to be able to live until now. Since Kimimaro and I have not been able to become your reincarnation container, Lord Orochimaru, let me do something for you like Kimimaro."

After saying that, Honglian put on the mask of death without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Yagyu suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Orochimaru.

When it comes to PUA ability, no one in the entire ninja world can compare to Orochimaru.

Even when facing a brainwashed chess piece, Uchiha Madara had to leave a curse seal just in case.

On the other hand, Orochimaru can make his subordinates fight for him without hesitation just by relying on his personal charm.

Even the reason why Mitarashi Anko fell out with him was because Orochimaru did not take her with him when he left Konoha, not because Orochimaru became a traitor.

In addition to Red Bean, there are other important characters such as Kimimaro, Guren, Kabuto Yakushi, and Mitsuki from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

If we don't count these important characters, there must be many people in Sound Village who are willing to die for Orochimaru.

Compared with Orochimaru, Yagyu's advantage of being familiar with the plot and Asashi's PUA ability are too weak.

Only in front of Orochimaru, Yagyu dare not call himself a "training master".

Although there are many people in Otogakure who are willing to die for Orochimaru, Orochimaru obviously does not trust those people.

After Kimimaro's death, the only people he could trust were Kabuto Yakushi and Guren.

What's even more deadly is that Honglian also doesn't trust those guys and is willing to use her own life to ensure that Lord Orochimaru can get his hands back.

Swah——

As Honglian put on the Death Mask, blue chakra energy suddenly surged from her body.

As soon as these chakras emerged, they all gathered inside the Death Mask, as if attracted by a magnet.

After a while, the chakra energy on Honglian's body dissipated.

A spirit suddenly flew out from the mask of the Grim Reaper, floated behind Honglian, and quickly expanded into a Grim Reaper with fluffy white hair, wearing a loose white robe, looking like a devil, and holding a small knife in his mouth.

Of course, only Honglian can see this God of Death, just like only those who use the Shiki Fuujin technique can see the God of Death.

Even so, Orochimaru still felt a bone-chilling chill in his body, and his mind couldn't help but replay the scene of his soul having his hands cut off.

The excruciating pain of being unable to move his hands and even affecting his entire body, causing it to collapse prematurely and forcing him to reincarnate, seemed to have returned again.

After entering the ninja school, Orochimaru began to get used to the pain of fighting.

As a Genin who went out on missions and fought against enemies, he became accustomed to all kinds of injuries and even nearly met the god of death many times.

But after actually seeing the God of Death, Orochimaru realized that the pain and injuries were not as severe as the God of Death's sword.

Even the pain of having one's soul torn apart cannot compare to the blow of the god of death.

Orochimaru, who has a trump card, is not afraid of Yagyu, nor is he afraid of Uchiha Itachi and Tendo Pain who can kill him in an instant.

Orochimaru is more immortal than Kakuzu and Hidan. If he really had to choose one existence to fear, it would probably be the invisible god of death.

Yagyu didn't know what Orochimaru was thinking.

At this moment, he also felt the temperature in the room drop, and then a red light flashed in his eyes, and his expression was full of solemnity.

Invisible!
Yagyu also cannot see the existence of the god of death.

There is no doubt that the level of this god of death is like that of the Six Paths Sage, whose body is dead but whose soul can still move freely between the world of the dead and the world of the living. He belongs to another dimension.

I just don't know if the world where the God of Death exists is the same place as the soul of the Six Paths Sage and the souls of the dead.

If so, that's good news.

The god of death needs a practitioner to use the Shiki Fuujin or a death mask to appear in the world of the living, which requires quite a lot of conditions.

This means that if the soul of the Six Paths Sage returns to the world of the living and takes action in the world of the living, he will also have to pay an unknown price and cannot act recklessly.

Moreover, Yagyu had already revealed his Wood Release technique. If the Six Paths Sage was really powerful, he must have noticed him and might even have discovered that he had Ashura's chakra in his body.

But the Sage of Six Paths did not come to him, either because he was unable to do so, or because he, like everyone else, was deceived by Yagyu.

No matter which one it is, it is good news for Yagyu.

He only needs to continue to maintain his bright image, and when his strength reaches the Six Paths level, he will not be afraid of the calculations and observations of those behind-the-scenes forces.

Poof——

At this moment, the sound of a sharp weapon entering the body was heard.

Honglian did nothing, but a huge knife wound suddenly appeared on her stomach, and blood splattered.

"Ah ah ah..."

Honglian let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground, rolling and struggling.

Above her body, five blue spirits appeared out of thin air.

As soon as these blue spirits appeared, four of them disappeared.

The remaining spirit flew towards Orochimaru and quickly sank into his body.

The next second, Orochimaru's hands flashed blue light.

"Back... back..."

Orochimaru stood up and looked at his hands, which had been freed from the bandages. Not only did his ten fingers regain their flexibility, but his meridians could also mobilize chakra. His voice trembled with excitement: "My ninjutsu... are all back!"

At the same time, Honglian, who was rolling on the ground, also lost his voice.

A blue spirit also flew out of her body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It was obvious that her soul had been taken away by the god of death.

Yagyu came to her body, recovered the Death Mask, and then looked at Orochimaru who had calmed down and was also looking at him, and said with a faint smile: "There is a huge gap in our strength. Don't seek death, Lord Orochimaru."
