Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Such a disadvantage is not too much of a disadvantage for Orochimaru.

He was once chased out of Konoha like a dog, then defeated by Pain, and joined Akatsuki, running around doing things for Akatsuki.

Then he defected from Akatsuki and fled from the Akatsuki members, hiding and running away.

He wanted to go to Konoha to collect some interest, but his plan to destroy Konoha, which he thought was a sure thing, was ruined by the Third Hokage.

They also sacrificed a pair of hands capable of forming hand seals.

Even now, Orochimaru's hands still can't form hand seals properly.

Because the souls of his hands are still sealed inside the stomach of the Grim Reaper, Orochimaru cannot return to his prime until he retrieves his hands.

If Orochimaru could have returned to his peak condition, he wouldn't have been killed by Sasuke and then sealed away by Itachi.

Having hands, he can perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Impure World Reincarnation is his most powerful technique!

Liao Wu looked at Orochimaru's hand. He couldn't solve Orochimaru's soul problem.

He's not omnipotent!

For example, he can't do a handstand to get diarrhea.

To restore Orochimaru's hands, he needs to find the Uzumaki clan's Shinigami mask and cut open the Shinigami's stomach.

Perfect timing, Liao Wu also needs the other half of Yin Jiuwei inside the Grim Reaper's belly.

The Yin Nine-Tailed Fox is far more powerful than the Yang Nine-Tailed Fox in terms of expressiveness.

Liao Wu said to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, do you have a way to break the seal on your hands?"

Orochimaru nodded: "I found a way to break the seal on the Shinigami in the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools. I want to go to Konoha."

"We'll talk about that later! I'll be with you then to break the seal on the Grim Reaper!"

Liao Wu said to Orochimaru.

Deidara came in and had something important to tell Liao Wu.

"Lord Liaowu, there's a group of spies watching us outside!"

Liao Wu and his group made quite a stir by transferring Kakuzu's funds. After all, the money Kakuzu had accumulated since the Warring States period was a huge sum, enough to make a backward little country rich.

Many people have their eyes on Kakuzu's money!

They could be former subordinates of Kakuzu, people from the black market, or even people from Takigakure Village in the Land of Waterfalls.

Kakuzu died, and his estate became the target of many hyenas.

Liao Wu hadn't spoken yet.

Deidara then clashed with Orochimaru.

Deidara stared at Orochimaru and said, "Orochimaru?! You're Orochimaru?"

Although Deidara and Orochimaru were both members of the Akatsuki organization, they did not join the organization at the same time.

Deidara is Orochimaru's replacement.

Orochimaru was once partnered with Sasori in the Akatsuki organization. Later, Orochimaru attacked Itachi and, fearing punishment, defected.

The Akatsuki organization has put Orochimaru on their blacklist and will eliminate this vile snake whenever they have the chance.

Because of Orochimaru's defection, Itachi and others recruited Deidara.

Deidara filled Orochimaru's spot, forming an artistic duo with Sasori.

Deidara had never met Orochimaru, but he had heard that Orochimaru had defected from the Akatsuki organization, and that the Akatsuki members had issued a kill order against Orochimaru.

If you see Orochimaru, you must rape and kill him!

Deidara almost instinctively reached into his ninja tool bag and pulled out some clay.

Orochimaru sneered, "You're Deidara, aren't you?"

"You don't need to be so aggressive towards me. It seems you've also defected from Akatsuki!"

Deidara said coldly, "I'm not like you. I've been loyal to Lord Ryou from the very beginning. I infiltrated the Akatsuki organization on his orders!"

"Um?!"

Orochimaru tilted his head slightly to look at Liao Wu, somewhat puzzled. He once again had doubts about Liao Wu's existence.

Deidara, the disciple of the Third Tsuchikage and a powerful ninja who wielded the Explosion Release, was actually an undercover agent for Ryougo from the very beginning?

That means this guy has been hiding in the ninja world for a long time.

This person is clearly from the Uchiha clan, but why have I never heard of him before?

Deidara said to Liaowu, "Lord Liaowu, please don't trust this venomous snake!"

"He betrayed Konoha and Akatsuki. He is a traitor who has served three masters, a complete and utter viper."

"Sir, let me blow him up!"

Orochimaru sarcastically remarked to Deidara, "Deidara, you talk as if you're so loyal."

"I remember you were a ninja from Iwagakure and were taught by Onoki."

"It seems we're the same; we both betrayed our ninja villages and the Akatsuki organization."

Deidara scoffed, "Don't compare yourself to me. I was also Lord Ryou's spy back in Iwagakure!"

Orochimaru was taken aback again. Was he also an undercover agent in Iwagakure?

Deidara is not very old, probably around twenty years old, if he is a spy in Iwagakure.

He became a spy for Liaowu when he was around ten years old.

This reminded Orochimaru of his useful subordinate, Kabuto.

He was trained as a spy from a young age and was an exceptionally skilled one.

The most important quality of a spy is knowing how to hide themselves!

However, Deidara's personality is not that of a spy. Before joining Akatsuki, Deidara had joined a terrorist group that was keen on bombing attacks and planned several terrorist bombings.

Back then, he would wear a white cloth over his head, carry a bag, and throw it into the crowd. Even if the bag only contained books, it would still make people flee in panic.

What spy would be so arrogant in showing off?

Orochimaru sensed something was wrong; Deidara couldn't quite hide his emotions.

Who would claim to be a spy the moment they meet someone?

He then asked, "You weren't someone's spy when you were in your mother's womb, were you?"

Deidara nodded loyally: "Of course! My loyalty to Lord Liaowu is engraved in my soul, and my body is marked with Lord Liaowu's mark."

"Cough cough..."

Liao Wu coughed twice, making it sound as if Deidara had been marked with succubus patterns by Liao Wu.

Even Liao Wu, the master, felt that Deidara's loyalty was excessive!

Orochimaru also thought it was too exaggerated!

Deidara, however, remained completely normal, and his expression showed no sign of joking.

He truly believed that he was Liao Wu's spy even when he was in his mother's womb!

So here's the question: what was Deidara doing inside his mother's womb?

Stop his dad from coming in!

Liao Wu glanced at Deidara. The will he gave Deidara through Kotoamatsukami was—to be forever loyal to him!

As for how to be loyal?

This is Deidara's own business!

Liao Wu couldn't possibly read all of his memories first and then completely alter them with the other gods.

He used Kotoamatsukami to send low-level commands, while the details involved Kotoamatsukami influencing Deidara's memories.

His loyalty to Liao Wu's underlying instructions is unchangeable; however, as for the details, many bugs will arise.

Kotoamatsukami is not omnipotent; it can alter a person's memories, but it cannot truly change the past that has become a fait accompli.

This will cause a bug!

Just like in the original manga, during the Five Kage Summit, Ao of Kirigakure discovered that Mifune was being controlled by Danzo's Sharingan.

He first noticed that something was wrong with Mifune's behavior, which is why he used his white eye to probe Mifune's mind.
