Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Country of Fields.

In a clearing within a forest, Orochimaru watched the figure emerge from the woods, his gaze sharpening as it landed on the pair of round eyes: "So it really is the Rinnegan."

"but……"

Orochimaru's gaze fell on Yahiko's face, and he laughed, "You were one of those three children from back then, but according to intelligence, you should have died as a result of Hanzo and Danzo's conspiracy, so... you were just a puppet!"

Yahiko said in a detached voice, "As expected of one of the Legendary Sannin!"

Orochimaru looked at the pair of Rinnegan eyes, licked his lips, and chuckled, "Since you've come to invite me to join Akatsuki, this is rather impolite!"

White Zetsu next to Pain chuckled, "This is just in case. I hope you don't mind too much. After all, it was quite unexpected that you were able to defect from Konoha."

Orochimaru chuckled, "It seems I've been underestimated by you."

Bai Jue laughed and said, "No, no, we believe in your strength, otherwise we wouldn't have extended an invitation to you."

"But now Konoha has a new God of Shinobi, and no one dares to say they can definitely win in front of him."

Orochimaru nodded in agreement: "That's true."

"However, Shuichi-kun and I have a very good working relationship."

"I told him about leaving Konoha a long time ago, so naturally he won't interfere."

"To be honest, your actions are somewhat unnecessary."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jue quickly smiled and apologized, "I'm very sorry, we didn't have that information. Of course, you could also consider this a form of insurance."

Orochimaru, however, didn't seem to care; he certainly understood the deeper meaning behind it.

However, he is only interested in the Rinnegan right now.

puppet?

The main body should be nearby!

Pain sensed Orochimaru's evil intentions but didn't care, saying, "If you can gain our approval, you will naturally be able to see the Akatsuki."

"The God of Dawn?"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "I'm actually more interested in the Rinnegan than Akatsuki."

As soon as the words fell, a deafening roar erupted. On either side of Pain and White Zetsu, a giant serpent burst forth from the ground, its gaping maws snapping down to bite.

"What an evil fellow!"

Bai Jue smiled helplessly, and his body immediately sank down to become one with the earth.

Pain snorted coldly, slammed his fist into the ground, and with a boom, two jets of water gushed out from beneath the earth, impacting the swooping serpents and rendering them unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, two black rods extended from Pain's sleeve, and with a casual flick, they pierced through the giant snake's body.

Bang bang!

The two large snakes disappeared.

However, Orochimaru seized the opportunity to flick his right hand forward, and two venomous snakes swooped out, coiling around Pain's body and biting his neck from both sides.

"Gotcha!"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue: "Although it's just a puppet, we can find the real body quickly by capturing it."

He stepped forward, but his expression suddenly changed.

The two venomous snakes that were biting Pain suddenly exploded into a bloody mist.

Shinra Tensei!

Pain casually raised his hand, unleashing an invisible force that caused Orochimaru to pause before being sent flying backward, leaving trees to fall and dust billowing in his wake.

"What happened?"

"This power..."

Orochimaru was initially shocked, then became excited: "Is this the power of the Rinnegan?"

"As expected of the Sage of Six Paths' eyes!"

boom!

His body slammed heavily to the ground, but Orochimaru laughed.

Pain, the Deva Path, appeared nearby, and White Zetsu emerged from the ground: "He wasn't taken care of, was he?"

"It's not over yet."

As soon as Pain finished speaking, he saw Orochimaru in the pit in front of him suddenly raise his head and open his mouth in an extremely exaggerated way. Another Orochimaru roared out from it, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake tail, swimming at an extremely fast speed, raising billowing dust.

"So fast!"

White Zetsu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, only to see Orochimaru flash past his eyes.

behind.

White Zetsu turned his head and saw Orochimaru open his mouth, from which a sharp sword rapidly extended, aiming straight for Pain's back.

But when the sword was less than a centimeter away from Pain's back, it could not go any further. Then, an invisible force erupted again, and the sword and Orochimaru flew out again, then exploded into a cloud of smoke with a bang.

"It's a clone!"

Bai Jue looked up and saw countless shuriken whistling down.

Multiple Hand-Sword Shadow Clone Technique!

However, Orochimaru's true form was hidden in the tree.

Pain dodged backward, leaving a dense array of shuriken on the ground.

"It seems this ability requires a lot of chakra..."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue, about to launch another probing attack, when Pain extended his right hand again.

All things guide the heavens!

Orochimaru's expression changed drastically. His body was uncontrollably pulled by a suction force and moved towards Pain.

"Repulsive and attractive forces..."

"What incredible power!"

Orochimaru immediately raised his hand, and several venomous snakes slithered out, heading straight for Pain.

But Pain immediately rose up, and Orochimaru's body followed suit, then crashed to the ground with a thud as Pain's hand fell.

The hidden shadow with multiple snake heads was neutralized.

Orochimaru rose from the ground, his snake tail transforming into legs as he stood up. Looking at Pain, he laughed, "No wonder even Shuichi couldn't do anything to you."

If it were the real body, it would probably be even more powerful.

Orochimaru was secretly wary, and after thinking it over, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to test the waters and restrained his ambition.

Pain sensed it and said, "Now you can join the Akatsuki, right?"

Orochimaru said, "Okay, but what are the benefits of joining?"

Bai Jue laughed, "Isn't protecting you enough?"

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Of course."

"I don't need anyone's protection."

Pain asked, "What do you want?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue: "I'm not interested in war, I'm only interested in researching various ninjutsu, including tailed beasts, of course."

"Therefore, if I capture a Tailed Beast, I also need a portion of its chakra for research."

Pain immediately agreed: "Okay."

Orochimaru then looked at White Zetsu: "A clone cultured from Hashirama cells? That's amazing technology."

Bai Jue felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at.

Orochimaru said to Pain, "If you can hand him over to me for research, I can give you a very big surprise."

Pain remained calm: "Oh?"

"Interstitial cell transplantation?"

Orochimaru's gaze sharpened, and he chuckled, "So you've already had the transplant!"

"I see. You are from the Uzumaki clan, a distant relative of the Senju, and you have these eyes."

"However, that's not what I'm talking about."

Bai Jue quickly replied, "Hey, I'm not for sale!"

Orochimaru, however, regarded the White Zetsu as a creation of Nagato, and smiled as he formed hand seals.

The next moment, two coffins emerged from the ground in front of him.

generation!

Second generation!

Upon seeing the words on the coffin, Bai Jue was startled: "Could it be that technique...?"

Bang!Bang!

The coffin lid fell to the ground, and Bai Jue couldn't help but say, "It really is this."

"Orochimaru, it's no wonder you're wanted by Konoha!"

"If Hoshino Shuichi knew you were toying with the souls of the First and Second Hokage, he probably would have taken action against you too, right?"

Pain, looking at the two people in the coffin, was also secretly startled: "The First and Second Hokage?"

White Zetsu explained from the side, "This is a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, called Impure World Reincarnation. It can summon the soul of the dead back from the Pure Land, bind it in the body of a living sacrifice, and cover it with impure earth, so that it can retain the abilities it had in life."

"I must say, this is indeed a very amazing ninjutsu."

Orochimaru instantly grasped a point from White Zetsu's words: the one who possessed the Rinnegan was not the one who created this person.

"Then... Uchiha Madara?"

"interesting."

Orochimaru smiled to himself and said, "He's right, this is indeed the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"Of course, this is just a defective product. If someone like him were used as a sacrifice, the reanimated person would have power close to that of the original body."

Pain replied, "If you perform well, I can grant your request."

Bai Zetsu spread his hands helplessly and said, "You guys really don't know how to respect people."

However, he knew that Pain was not referring to him.

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Then, the cooperation is settled."

Pain nodded slightly, then turned around: "Then come with me. From today onwards, you'll be my team!"

After Konan became the leader of Amegakure, he began to act alone.

As for the White Zetsu, they were intelligence support personnel.

Now that Orochimaru has arrived, it's a good time to team up.

Of course, this was a last-minute change of ideas.

Because of the Impure World Reincarnation technique!

Soon, Orochimaru met Nagato, and beside Nagato was Hanzo, who was also a puppet.

This made Orochimaru's pupils shrink: "They actually killed Hanzo and turned him into a puppet."

A moment later, after putting on the ring and donning the Akatsuki's distinctive red cloud-patterned robe, Orochimaru officially became a member of the Akatsuki.

……

In the Forest of Death, in the heart of Konoha Village, high in the treetops, Hoshino Hideaki, who had been sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.

On the treetop opposite, Tobi, the White Zetsu, appeared: "Lord Shuichi, I'm very sorry to disturb your training, but according to information from the Akatsuki, Orochimaru has become a member of Akatsuki."

"Moreover, you would never guess that Orochimaru has an amazing trump card up his sleeve."

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled upon hearing this: "A trump card?"

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Bai Zetsu and A Fei immediately showed a shocked expression: "As expected of Lord Xiu Yi!"

"That's true."

"Orochimaru actually controlled the First and Second Hokage."

Hoshita Hideichi was not surprised, but he couldn't help but think to himself, "Since Orochimaru is willing to show off, it seems he wants to use White Zetsu as a sacrifice."

"Nagato will be wary of him, but Black Zetsu will definitely grant his wish."

"So, it seems like Edo Tensei Madara will be released sooner than expected."

Shuichi Hoshino has enough confidence in this.

His threat was enough to make Black Zetsu resurrect Madara Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation method ahead of schedule.

For a moment, Hoshino Shizuka couldn't help but feel excited.

So incredibly lonely!

"Tobi, what's the situation in Kirigakure?"

"Issue Shizuka asked."

Bai Zetsu Afei quickly replied, "Just as you predicted, Lord Shuichi, the Kaguya clan is getting impatient and will likely take action soon!"

Hoshino nodded and immediately sent a clone to Kirigakure.

He's going to bring Kimimaro back!

Kimimaro's bloodline disease is mostly incurable, but he can learn about and research Shikotsumyaku from Kimimaro. (End of Chapter)
