Naruto: The Ninja World's Life Buyer

Chapter 258 Impure World Reincarnation, the Awakened Twin Shadows

Underground base.

Orochimaru's worktable was covered with ancient scrolls brought out from the forbidden jutsu library. They were fragments of the Impure World Reincarnation technique left behind by Tobirama Senju.

"What a brilliant idea."

Orochimaru rapidly sketched out the technique model on the paper with his pen.

"Using the DNA of the deceased as a coordinate, and the living as a container, the flesh and blood of the living are wrapped in dust, forcibly pulling the souls of the Pure Land back to the mortal world."

"However, the second generation's technique is too crude."

Orochimaru said to Sousuke beside him.

"He left huge loopholes in the soul binding and chakra conversion. This resulted in the reincarnated being losing only one-tenth of their strength, and making it easy for them to break free of control through their own will."

Sousuke carefully examined the complex chakra pathways.

"So how do we need to improve it? Should we strengthen the binding seal?"

"No. Simply strengthening the restraints will only turn the reincarnated person into a rigid puppet, losing their flexibility in combat."

"I have re-optimized the ratio of spirit contract to material recombination. The second generation's technique merely stuffed the soul into the body, while my improved technique allows the dust on the surface of the sacrifice's body to automatically simulate the deceased's meridian system during recombination."

"In other words, the physical attributes of the offering itself are no longer the upper limit. As long as the technique is precise enough, this layer of dust can fully contain the chakra output of the deceased during their lifetime."

Orochimaru's thinking is extremely agile and sharp.

"As for control—"

Orochimaru took out a kunai. A black talisman was tied to the end of the kunai.

"A spell to erase personality. Just implant this in the back of their heads and they'll become the perfect killing machine."

They can even utilize their secret techniques and bloodline limits from their lifetimes to the fullest extent.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Sosuke spoke up.

"Does this technique consume a lot of chakra? Also, how controllable is it? If I put the reincarnated individuals on the battlefield, will they turn around and bite us back?"

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and said, "As long as there are enough sacrifices and the genes of the dead, I can summon dozens at once. This requires a large amount of chakra to maintain the contract. If I wanted to form an army, ordinary ninjas couldn't do it, but I have Sage Mode, which allows me to use an endless supply of natural energy, so consumption isn't a problem—"

"Then there's controllability."

Orochimaru picked up the kunai with black runes on it.

"Once this kunai is implanted, even a Kage-level powerhouse cannot resist it. Unless—the caster actively removes it, or the caster is controlled by an illusion."

"Of course, there is no absolutely perfect technique in the world. If the reincarnated person knows the seal to undo the Impure World Reincarnation, they could indeed turn the tables on the other side."

"But I believe we won't make that kind of stupid mistake."

Sosuke nodded.

"Very good. Let's begin the first physical verification then."

"I have prepared the offerings for you."

Sosuke clapped his hands.

Hyuga Masaru walked in, carrying two people who were bound hand and foot, their chakra sealed by Gentle Fist.

The two men were dressed in Iwagakure vests, and their eyes were filled with fear.

These are prisoners of Iwagakure.

"Let me go! You bunch of Konoha bastards!"

One of the Iwa ninja struggled and cursed loudly.

"Bang!"

Hyuga Katsu kicked him in the knee without any expression, forcing him to kneel in front of Orochimaru.

"The offering is ready." Orochimaru licked his lips.

"Then, what about the deceased's genes?"

Sosuke took two small glass bottles out of his pocket and placed them on the lab table.

"These two were both very important figures in their lifetimes. Hopefully, they can bring a little shock to the battlefield between Iwagakure and Kumogakure."

Orochimaru picked up the glass bottle.

The bottle has a label on it.

The first bottle is labeled: [Sunagakure Village, Third Kazekage].

The second bottle is labeled: [Kumakushi Village - Third Raikage].

Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Where did you get all this stuff?!"

He was shocked.

The body of the Third Raikage was reportedly stolen by the Iwagakure army, and the Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared. This merchant actually managed to obtain their DNA!

"This is a trade secret."

Sousuke smiled.

The materials for the Third Raikage were secretly collected by Kakuzu after he infiltrated Iwagakure.

As for the materials used by the Third Kazekage.

That was given to him by Sasori of the Red Sand. After Sasori turned the Kazekage into a puppet, he came to Sousuke to ask for "wooden bones" in exchange for the Kazekage's materials.

"It's so... wonderful."

Orochimaru was ecstatic.

He seemed to see two masterpieces about to be created.

"The strongest spear and shield, and the strongest Magnet Release. Sousuke-kun, it seems you were prepared all along."

"Just making the most of what we have." Sousuke stepped back two paces, making room for them.

"Let's begin."

Orochimaru clasped his hands together.

A complex black magic circle was drawn around the two Iwagakure prisoners.

Orochimaru placed the two sets of materials at the center of the two formations respectively.

"What do you want to do?"

The Iwa ninja prisoners felt the fear of death and struggled desperately.

"Yin, Si, Xu, Chen!"

"Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation!"

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Screams echoed throughout the underground base.

Countless dust and scraps of paper suddenly surged from the ground, covering the two captured rock dwellers.

The soil enveloped their flesh and blood, forcibly altering their physical form.

The screams abruptly stopped.

When the dust settles.

Standing in the center of the formation were no longer two Iwa ninja.

Instead, they were two people with their eyes closed.

The person on the left has short, dark blue hair and is wearing traditional Sunagakure clothing.

The man on the right is as tall and imposing as a mountain, with a lightning-shaped scar on his chest and a head of wild, gray-white hair.

Their skin was covered with cracks that looked like pieces of shredded paper.

"It's a success."

Orochimaru stepped forward, his eyes filled with infatuation.

He picked up two kunai bound with black runes and plunged them into the back of the heads of the Third Kazekage and the Third Raikage, embedding them completely.

next second.

The two opened their eyes at the same time.

The sclera of the eyes is black, and the pupils emit a faint white light.

Without emotion. Without reason.

Only absolute obedience.

"Let's test their strength."

Sosuke looked at the two "corpses" that exuded a terrifying aura.

"As you wish."

Orochimaru formed a control hand seal with both hands.

The instruction has been issued.

The Third Raikage's body jolted violently.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

A blinding blue lightning burst forth from his body, enveloping his entire form.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

He raised his right hand, his four fingers together.

"Hellish Thrust - Four-in-One Slash!"

boom!

He charged straight at a steel explosion-proof door that was half a meter thick.

It was so fast that you couldn't even see its afterimage.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

He pierced a large hole in the steel gate, which even explosive tags couldn't open, with just four fingers! The edges of the steel turned a dark red, as if melted by the extreme heat.

"This destructive power—it retains at least 80% of its pre-death level!"

Sosuke made a judgment immediately.

"Not only that."

Orochimaru manipulated the Third Raikage to retreat.

"They also possess immortality and unlimited chakra."

"Unless they are sealed with a powerful sealing technique, conventional physical attacks and ninjutsu are meaningless against them."

This is simply the perfect war machine.

Sousuke looked at the Third Kazekage on the other side.

"Try his magnetic escape technique."

Orochimaru forms hand seals.

The Third Kazekage slowly raised his hand.

Inside the underground base, the steel tools suddenly began to vibrate violently.

"Splash—"

All the ironware was suspended in mid-air.

Under the pressure of the Wind Shadow's Magnet Release, they were crushed into extremely fine black powder.

Iron sand.

Black iron sand gathered into clouds in mid-air, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Sand and Iron Boundary Method".

Orochimaru said softly.

The dark clouds transformed into countless sharp spears, piercing in all directions.

If Orochimaru hadn't manipulated the Kazekage to stop the attack in time, the entire basement would have been riddled with holes by those dense iron sand spears.

"Perfect."

"These two weapons are perfect."

He walked up to Orochimaru and lowered his voice.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you know what to do next?"

"Hehehe, of course."

Orochimaru's vertical pupils flashed with a cruel light.

"Deploy these two monsters to the Iwagakure battlefield in the northwest."

"That old bastard Onoki saw the Raikage he had painstakingly killed and the missing Kazekage suddenly turn into immortal monsters and slaughter his troops—"

"I imagine his expression must have been priceless."
