Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

If Orochimaru is resurrected, Kimimaro will completely help him.

The second is Orochimaru himself.

The timing is perfect.

Chapter 356 Chiba Version of the Caged Bird Seal

2023-05-18

"We've spotted Konoha ninjas ahead."

Black Zetsu emerged from underground.

Obito looked into the distance.

"Are there many people?"

"There aren't many, just a few scattered here and there. The defense doesn't seem very tight, which makes it easy for problems to arise. Should we just get past them?"

"Let's infiltrate first, then check their situation."

Obito said.

He didn't know what Konoha's technique was, but without a doubt, they had better keep quiet and prevent Konoha from noticing their movements.

then……

All the White Zetsu charged out in one go.

In the future, Konoha will only become stronger.

Black Zetsu was unsure, and at the same time, a vague unease crept into his heart—

Chiba turned around and glanced in the direction of the village.

Regardless of whether the enemy discovers them or not, they must bite the bullet and charge forward to deliver a crushing blow to Konoha.

Given such an enemy, Black Zetsu could hardly imagine how far the world would progress in his lifetime, and it would be uncertain whether he could maintain his current advantage by then.

Konoha has now united four countries, while they only have the resources of the Land of Rain to support them. If this continues, they will definitely not be a match for them.

Black Zetsu burrowed into the ground, and after running for a short while, he sensed the returning White Zetsu clone. After exchanging words, he learned—

and.

The Konoha ninja in front ran away.

……

after all……

"Well, it's alright for now, but we need to be prepared, as we may need to engage in battle later."

"Chiba-kun, the village has sounded the alarm."

He and Obito have already taken Madara's body with them. If something unexpected happens in this battle against Konoha, he will summon Madara Uchiha.

Such an enemy...

He was silent for a while.

If that's the case.

otherwise.

Has it been discovered?

Six months ago, the Akatsuki organization was extremely powerful, with its nine strong members being virtually unstoppable. But now things are different; Konoha's development has far exceeded their expectations.

If he fails, he can only retreat and wait for the next opportunity.

It is imperative.

The current problem is—

Black Zetsu dared not give the other side time.

The Akatsuki organization today is not the same as it was six months ago.

"We have no choice but to take a gamble. If all else fails, we'll revive Madara."

Every extra minute they were given to prepare, Black Zetsu felt the danger he was in increased several degrees.

There is no turning back now in this battle.

This is definitely not good news for the Akatsuki organization.

Could it be that Konoha has already discovered their actions?

Yagyu Chiba is terrifying.

This side of Konoha.

This is the only way to ensure the plan is executed perfectly.

Black Zetsu thought.

God knows when the next Madara Uchiha will be!

and.

"Ah."

White Zetsu have already invaded the outskirts of the Land of Fire.

This White Zetsu invasion is on a massive scale, with an astonishing number of them. Unlike before, we no longer need to carefully sense them; we can simply open the barrier to perceive the vast number of White Zetsu passing through the ground.

The alarm blared instantly, echoing throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Without taking down Konoha, the Akatsuki cannot complete their plan.

Everyone has already received the news quickly—

Red Bean frowned.

"Battle? Is an enemy trying to invade Konoha?"

"Ah."

Chiba nodded.

He took the red bean into the Forest of Death.

Kimimaro is over here.

Second.

This place is teeming with parasitic insects; the entire forest is their domain. Once Orochimaru emerges, he won't be able to escape.

If he wants to escape, he first has to get past the parasites.

As for the soul.

To be honest, Chiba wasn't without a way to break the Heavenly Curse Seal.

If Orochimaru doesn't cooperate, he can completely block Orochimaru's escape route, forcing Orochimaru to go to the underworld to meet the Sage of Six Paths.

I imagine he would have had more to talk about with the Sage of Six Paths back then.

"Lord Chiba."

"Kimimaro, today I will fulfill my promise to you and revive Orochimaru, but I must make it clear beforehand that my revival is contingent on his cooperation."

Chiba said solemnly, "If Orochimaru still wants to conduct the same kind of experiments as before, neither Konoha nor I will forgive him, nor will we revive him, even if... you oppose me."

His tone was calm.

Kimimaro now is not the same as before.

Having obtained Hashirama cells and White Zetsu cells, his body became much stronger than before. Although he lost the Earth Seal, his abilities actually became stronger.

If he's not afraid of death, he could even activate abilities beyond his current Corpse Bone Pulse.

but.

Chiba was still not afraid of him.

Kimimaro's strength was largely given to him by him, so he had a way to take it back, and in a very simple way.

in particular……

We are now in the Forest of Death, not anywhere else.

Kimimaro nodded slightly.

"I see."

"Then, I begin my resurrection."

Chiba forms hand seals.

Dispel evil with this magic seal!

After forming the hand seals, a series of magical symbols appeared in his palms, and then—

He pressed a palm down on Hongdou's neck.

"what!!!"

Hongdou screamed and collapsed to the ground, clutching her neck.

Chiba infused chakra to relieve Anko's pain, and then accelerated Orochimaru's combination. In the blink of an eye, a figure was pulled out of the Heavenly Curse Seal.

Orochimaru!

Chiba used his palm to restrain Orochimaru.

"Ah!"

Orochimaru's soul howled in agony, his snake head thrashing as if to devour Chiba, but alas...

Its mental strength was not up to par with Chiba's.

He did not use his Sharingan.

That would be blatantly bullying Orochimaru and would also give him an excuse.
