The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

To be honest, Orochimaru is now a little bit unconvinced that Souji had temporarily developed the Ice Release Technique during the battle with Konan just now.

Otherwise, explain why Cang Si is so proficient in the use of ice escape!

Moreover, the power is outrageous!

Under the influence of those millions of detonating talismans, the ice lotus just now actually protected the entire ancestral temple of the Uzumaki clan and him, without being affected at all.

You know, Orochimaru could easily feel the earth-shaking outside.

Under such a huge explosion, Cang Si was able to do this. Can you say that his ice escape skills are not high?

But if Cang Si had such a high level of attainment in ice escape, how could he have succeeded in the fusion only just now?

"Haha, it seems that I have accepted an extraordinary disciple!"

After habitually sticking out his tongue to lick his lips, Orochimaru showed a strong interest in Souji himself for the first time.

This cheap disciple has so many secrets!

Orochimaru now really wants to dig them all out.

Of course, it would be even better if he could study Cang Si's body.

Don't get me wrong, this is just a study, there is no other purpose.

As for Soji, after so many years of getting along with him, Orochimaru has never thought of taking advantage of him.

This is very rare for Orochimaru.

Even Orochimaru himself couldn't explain why this happened.

However, at this moment, Orochimaru had already roughly guessed in his mind that Souji had already mastered the ice escape technique a long time ago.

It's just that I was forced to use it today.

At this time, the icy fog around began to dissipate, and a figure was slowly walking towards them not far away.

"Orochimaru-sensei, are you okay?"

Cang Si’s voice arrived before he even showed up!

Before he completely walked out of the ice fog and appeared in front of Orochimaru, Souji's waist-length white hair began to shorten and turn black rapidly.

The snowflake mark in the center of the forehead also gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

In the end, what Orochimaru saw was Souji walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Just now, I seemed to see some changes in Cang Si's appearance. Was it my illusion?"

Looking at Souji who was walking towards him with a smile and was as respectful to him as ever, Orochimaru showed a probing look.

However, Cang Si is quite thick-skinned and he remains calm despite the scrutiny from Orochimaru.

In fact, although it was just a glimpse, Orochimaru was not wrong. Cang Si's temperament and appearance were very different when he walked out.

Before the ice fog, changes had occurred.

However, the only things that changed were the length and color of the hair, and the snowflake mark between the eyebrows.

If I have to say there is any difference, it might be the change in temperament at that time.

That's right!

When Cang Si was defending against Konan's bombing of the Uzumaki clan's ancestral temple with his million detonating talismans, he briefly entered Sage Mode.

That ice lotus was not something else, but the magic spell cast by Cang Si. Ice Escape - Return to Ice Lotus!

Of course, that's just a low-power version.

However, even so, it is still no problem to survive a mere million detonating talismans.

If Cang Si really uses this magic with all his strength, it will be like the scene when Cang Si fought against the Otsutsuki on the moon on the night of the Nine-Tails, with the ice lotus supporting the sky.

That's a defense that can even completely block meteorites!

Therefore, after being unsure whether his normal ice-condensing power could block millions of explosive talismans, Cang Si chose to enter the Sage Mode.

With Cangsi's current research on immortal arts, he can enter immortal mode in three minutes without the need for snowy weather!

It probably won’t be long before he can enter Sage Mode in seconds like Hashirama Senju.

"I'm fine, but it seems that you seem a little different, Cang Si! I'm really curious now, how many secrets do you have hidden?"

After not noticing any other changes in Souji, Orochimaru asked tentatively.

"Hahaha, Mr. Orochimaru, isn't it normal for people to have secrets? The important thing is that I will always be your disciple, don't you agree?"

Cang Si smiled brightly and deliberately turned a blind eye.

Facing a shrewd man like Orochimaru, it is useless to deceive him, and it will only arouse his dislike.

Cang Si knew this all too well.

Therefore, Souji was telling Orochimaru with confidence that he did have a secret, but the latter sentence also revealed that he would never be Orochimaru's enemy.

Orochimaru understood the implicit meaning of Cangsi's words after just a moment's thought.

While Orochimaru was sighing in his heart at the cunningness of this cheap disciple, he also had to admit that Souji's words did win him more favor.

This is something that both of them are well aware of.

Therefore, Orochimaru didn't intend to continue to get to the bottom of the matter.

For him, testing Cang Si to this extent was enough.

"You're right. Everyone has their own secrets. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you have protected the ancestral temple of the Uzumaki clan, I think you should know what the last condition is that is missing in order to lift the seal of the Demonic Sealing Technique, right?"

After skipping over the secret about Souji, Orochimaru also talked about the purpose of their meeting to come to the former site of Uzushio Village.

This also made Cang Si secretly relieved.

Although Cang Si was a little disappointed that he failed to seize Nagato's Rinnegan, there was nothing he could do about it.

You can't have your cake and eat it too!

Who would have thought that Nagato and Konan had already stayed in the old site of Uzushio Village for about a year?

What's more, Konan even had a backup plan and prepared more than one million detonating tags in various places at the former site of Uzushio Village!

Faced with this situation, Souji would definitely not allow the Death Mask in the Uzumaki clan's ancestral temple to be destroyed in order to chase Nagato and Konan.

Although it is said that you cannot have your cake and eat it too, any normal person should know that the bear's paw is definitely more valuable than the other two.

In Cangsi's eyes, the Grim Reaper Mask that can resurrect Minato is a bear's paw. No matter how attractive Nagato's Rinnegan is, he is just a fish to Cangsi!

"Yes, Master Orochimaru, although I asked you to study this ninjutsu a long time ago, I myself have never relaxed.

I have figured out that if you want to break the Shiki Fuujin ninjutsu, you first need a key!

And this key is the mask of the god of death in the ancestral temple of the Uzumaki clan!"

Without even blinking, Cang Si started talking nonsense again.

Has he studied the Demonic Fate over the years?

What the hell is this research?

After knowing in advance that Orochimaru had the ability to break the Shiki Fuujin ninjutsu, why did he still need to spend so much time on it?

Instead of spending time researching the Shiki Fuujin, it would be better to develop more ninjutsu!

However, Orochimaru, who was unaware of this, nodded with relief after hearing what Cang Si said.

Chapter 776: Breaking the Demonic Seal

Ever since he learned not long ago that Souji's strength had surpassed his own, Orochimaru knew that the only help he could provide to this cheap disciple in the future would be in the field of scientific research.

Therefore, Orochimaru is very supportive of Souji's scientific research spirit!

After all, as Cang Si's teacher, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he had nothing to teach his disciple?

Well, in the original work, Sasuke felt that Orochimaru had nothing left to teach him, so he turned around and killed Orochimaru.

Although Souji would not do this, Orochimaru has his own pride.

How could he be willing to accept that he lost to his disciples in all aspects?

Therefore, as long as Cang Si continues to do scientific research, questions will arise, and as Cang Si's teacher, he can demonstrate his value.

From this perspective, Orochimaru is actually quite arrogant!

Afterwards, Cang Si and Orochimaru came to the innermost part of the Uzumaki clan's ancestral temple.

As you can see, everything is gone here. The only things left are the masks of the Grim Reaper either hanging on the wall or falling on the ground.

Cang Si picked up all the death masks, there were 27 in total!

"There are so many of them? Orochimaru-sensei, do you know which Death Mask is needed to unlock the Shikigami Fūjin?"

Looking at so many Death God masks, Cang Si was helpless and had to ask Orochimaru who was more knowledgeable about this.

"Twenty-six of the Death God masks here are fake. They were created by the Uzumaki clan to confuse others. There is only one real Death God mask from beginning to end!"

Orochimaru smiled confidently, and then just glanced at these death masks and determined which one was the real death mask.

"What? All 26 of them are fake? I thought..."

Although Cang Si did not finish his words, Orochimaru understood what Cang Si meant.

"Huh, where do 27 Shinigami come from in the ninja world? It's strange enough to have one of these guys. If there are so many Shinigami, I don't know what the ninja world will become!"

I have to say that Orochimaru's explanation makes a lot of sense.

If there are really 27 gods of death, then who knows which god of death will be summoned when the caster uses the Shiki Fuujin?

What if one thing goes wrong and multiple Grim Reapers appear?

Do the gods of death have to fight each other first, and then whoever the caster's soul belongs to will be determined in the end?

That's really too much!

Well, the picture is also very beautiful, I dare not imagine it.

"I see. Then, Orochimaru-sensei, can we start lifting the Demonic Sealing Art now?"

When asking this, Cang Si's tone was very excited.

After waiting for so many years, he finally waited for the day when Minato could be resurrected!

Orochimaru picked out a mask with a pair of sharp horns from the 27 death masks that Souji picked up. The surface of the mask was painted completely white, and it had a pair of dark pupils. Its mouth was open with sharp teeth exposed, and it looked like a frowning death mask.

"Let's go!"

After picking out the real Death Mask, Orochimaru didn't even look at the remaining fakes and said to Soji beside him.

"Ah? Orochimaru-sensei, where are we going? Aren't we going to unlock the Demonic Sealing Jin?"

Seeing Orochimaru taking the Death Mask and turning to leave, Cang Si asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Remove the Demonic Seal? I can't do that now!"

Orochimaru glanced at Souji and gave him an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

He had always known that his cheap disciple was very smart, so why did he suddenly become a little dull?

"What? Orochimaru-sensei, why is this happening? Didn't you say you knew how to remove the Shiki Fuujin jutsu? Why can't you do it?"

Almost as soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Cang Si became anxious.

He was the one who let Nagato and the Rinnegan escape, but then Orochimaru said that he couldn't lift the Shikigami Fūjin. Wasn't he teasing him?

Therefore, unknowingly, Cang Si

Even the tone of his voice has become not so good.

At one point, Cang Si even had the urge to betray his teacher and ancestors, and he wanted to put Orochimaru in a sack and beat him up.

Don't be so deceiving, hey!

To be honest, Cang Si is absolutely angry and anxious now!

However, hearing Souji's unpleasant tone of voice, Orochimaru smiled instead.

This clever and cunning cheap disciple actually had such a silly moment. Orochimaru was more surprised than just feeling amused.

This feeling is like seeing a person who is usually aloof and has a very high IQ suddenly become embarrassed one day.
