Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

All required materials are ready.

As soon as Sakura's soul separated from her body, in that instant, Orochimaru clasped his hands together, formed hand seals, and used the forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation.

A large amount of dust covered the white sheet.

The soul is drawn in and moves closer.

Accompanied by the screams of the White Zetsu, the dust covering the White Zetsu changed its appearance, gradually becoming indistinguishable from Sakura's.

"That's fine." Obito nodded.

Everything is under control.

Naruto's wishful thinking has been thwarted. The next thing to consider is how to get Madara's soul from Naruto.

Not long after, a strange noise interrupted Obito's thoughts. He looked up instinctively and saw a sharp blade approaching him, its light flashing.

The pupil constricts.

Pfft!

The blade pierced through Obito's left eye socket, penetrated his brain, broke through his skull, and then protruded a small portion of the tip from the back of his head.

The attack came too fast, too accurately, and too ruthlessly. Obito couldn't react at all. His left eye was destroyed, and his brain was also damaged.

"Aaaaah!" Obito roared in alarm, his chakra exploding as he retreated with all his might.

Fortunately, he had the Ten-Tails inside him, along with Hashirama's cells. Otherwise, that sword that pierced his skull would have killed him without any chance of survival.

"Orochimaru! Impossible! How did you manage to break free from my control on your own!"

The injury is healing at a very fast pace, but the damaged kaleidoscope in the left eye cannot be recovered; it has simply returned to the state of a normal eye.

The internal pupil power structure was completely destroyed.

Looking at Orochimaru, who had regained his freedom and whose aura and state had undergone a complete transformation, with the hilt of the Kusanagi sword still in his mouth.

Obito was shocked and furious.

"I didn't expect that I could recover while being controlled." Orochimaru switched to holding the Kusanagi sword.

He felt the powerful chakra continuously surging within his body.

His lips curled slightly, and his eerie, snake-like vertical pupils stared at Obito.

"It's not too late, there's still time."

"You Uchiha people are all very dependent on your eyes."

"Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, without exception, all lost more than half of their strength after losing their Sharingan."

"You probably won't be an exception either."

Obito glared at Orochimaru with a look that seemed to want to kill him.

Orochimaru formed a hand seal with one hand, activating the subjective consciousness of the reanimated Sakura: "Cooperate with me, use the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Chapter 248 Obito: Damn it!

The extent of power depends on who is wielding it.

Orochimaru is a true all-rounder, excelling in all aspects without any obvious weaknesses, and he has pushed each area to its limit.

Beyond that, ordinary people are limited, lacking bloodline limits and powerless to climb.

Putting aside everything else, Orochimaru's extensive combat experience and his transformation into a snake gave him a keen sense of danger.

In a situation where the forces are equal or nearly equal, the advantage will be in his favor.

At the start, it destroyed one of Obito's Sharingan eyes, greatly reducing Obito's Kamui ability and leaving him without any long-range space-time attack methods, only able to become intangible.

“Nothing is truly perfect; everything has some kind of weakness. Observe carefully and find that weakness,” Orochimaru said softly.

He wielded his sword with one hand, unleashing a continuous barrage of killing blows aimed at Obito.

"Okay." Edo Tensei Sakura nodded, looking for opportunities to mark many places with the Flying Thunder God symbol, constantly jumping and flashing around.

While disrupting Obito and coordinating well, carefully observe Obito's every move.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Obito stared intently at Orochimaru, his hatred for Naruto, who had caused this outcome, was intense.

Originally, Obito's right eye Kamui had a time limit for intangibility. If attacked without interval for five minutes, his intangibility could be broken, thus injuring or even killing him.

Currently, due to the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, the duration and speed of using the Single Eye Kamui have greatly increased, enhanced by the power of the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.

Without the ability to control space and time, killing Obito would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"If you only take Sakura with you, Sakura's soul will leave immediately once Orochimaru releases the Impure World Reincarnation."

"Orochimaru now has Naruto's support, and although he doesn't want to admit it, but..."

Obito gritted his teeth in resentment.

With his kaleidoscope eyes, he couldn't even win over Sakura, who had Naruto's support.

Now, with only the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan remaining, her chances of winning against Orochimaru, who is stronger than Sakura, has more combat experience, and can better unleash his power, are slim.

Unless something unexpected happens to Naruto, causing the power transfer to be interrupted, there is no chance.

They tried fighting for more than ten rounds.

Either they couldn't find a flaw and had no way to attack, or they found a flaw, went forward to investigate, only to find it was a trap, a fake flaw deliberately created by Orochimaru.

I almost got infected.

Obito was helpless and disheartened.

"Tell Naruto Uzumaki that I will not give up until I get what I want."

"Ignore Orochimaru and Sakura's attacks; they'll just pass right through him and won't touch him," Obito said coldly.

"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days. He can protect you for a while, but can he protect you forever?"

"Next time, if I find another opportunity and capture a suitable hostage, it won't be like this time."

After saying that, Obito sent Orochimaru and Sakura out of the Kamui dimension, ending this battle that started strong but ended weakly and was destined to have no good outcome.

"I have both the cells of the Madara and the method of using the Impure World Reincarnation."

Obito destroyed the Flying Thunder God mark, then picked up the container holding Madara cells and the scroll containing the Impure World Reincarnation, weighing them in his hands.

"First, I'll learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique, then find an opportunity to get Madara's soul from Naruto, and then..."

He possesses the Rinnegan with nine tomoe, yet he doesn't know how to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

We just need to get the answer from Madara. Then we can end the ninja era and start a new era.

outside world.

A strange, alien dimension, extremely far from the ninja world.

While remaining vigilant and observing his surroundings, Orochimaru casually wrote a secret message on his face to inform Naruto of the situation.

Upon learning that Obito's left eye had been destroyed, he abandoned the operation and expelled Orochimaru and Sakura from the Kamui dimension.

To Naruto's surprise, he immediately wrote: "Now that the crisis has passed, let's undo Sakura's Edo Tensei."

If Orochimaru's situation isn't resolved, he won't be able to use the Impure World Reincarnation to bring Sakura back.

Orochimaru surely understands this principle, which is why he didn't undo the Impure World Reincarnation; he needed to consider his own future.

"So, how do you plan to save me?"

“It’s the same method as with Sakura: kill you, then revive you using the Impure World Reincarnation,” Naruto replied.

"Your rebirth is a power at the soul level. After you return, you just need to find a vessel to complete the rebirth."

"The Reincarnation of the Corpse is not as simple as you say," Orochimaru wrote. "It cannot be done without flesh and blood tissue; my soul alone cannot complete the reincarnation."

To put it nicely, it's reincarnation; to put it bluntly, it's possession.

“Then I’ll sacrifice a little and use the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive you,” Naruto replied.

Orochimaru laughed: "Do you think I'd believe that?"

"Put yourself in my shoes. If you were me, would you entrust your fate to someone with whom you have few ties?"

“In my impure world resurrection state, I am easier for you to control. In fact, you might not even use impure world resurrection on me and just let me die.”

"By the way, didn't you have the Heavenly Curse Seal on Anko? We can use that to perfectly revive you," Naruto added.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, showing some interest, but he did not agree.

It all comes down to a matter of trust.

Furthermore, Orochimaru is not the type of person who trusts others or is willing to entrust his life and death to them.

Right now, he's doing what Naruto said, releasing Sakura from the Impure World Reincarnation. That means that everything from now on will be in Naruto's hands, not his control.

With Hidan's Death Possession blood present, Naruto could easily kill him.

Furthermore, if Naruto goes back on his word, there's nothing he can do about it.

Conversely, with Sakura in his grasp, Naruto would have no choice but to include her in the rescue as well.

Looking around, there was only a desolate place, devoid of water, life, and everything else.

He tried to use psychic abilities, but failed to summon the snake from Ryuchi Cave.

Orochimaru knew that he had no hope of surviving on his own.

"Sakura and I are bound together. If we give up, we give up together; if we save, we save together. There is no third option," Orochimaru wrote.

Naruto, Hinata, Ino, and Sasuke, located on Earth, looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Then let me go find it,” Ino said. “If it’s not in Obito’s private dimension, but outside, then we can find it.”

"Without coordinates, how long will it take to find them?" Naruto shook his head.

"Sakura is an Edo Tensei user, so she doesn't count. Orochimaru still needs to eat and drink."

"Given the alternate dimension environment Orochimaru described, there is no water to drink and no food to eat. I'm afraid you'll starve to death before you even arrive."
