Orochimaru's Ultimate Trump Card

Orochimaru moved swiftly through the pile of rocks in a bizarre crawling motion, quickly widening the distance between himself and Hinata in just a few seconds.

In fact, when Hinata made her first move, Orochimaru knew that Hinata was no longer the little brat who turned and ran away as soon as she saw him in the Forest of Death.

Hinata has fully grown up.

However, Orochimaru is an extremely arrogant person.

Even though he lost both hands, and even though he was once defeated by Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan, Orochimaru still believed that he could become the strongest Shinobi World, gain the ability to live forever, and grasp the truth of the world.

Therefore, before they actually fought, Orochimaru did not believe that he could defeat Hinata at this moment.

"It seems that ordinary offerings are no longer effective; we need to use stronger offerings..."

Orochimaru fled quickly in the direction where Kabuto Yakushi was.

"After such a long delay, Kabuto should have already prepared the ceremony!"

Using sacrifices infused with the Hashirama Cells to perform the Impure World Reincarnation can revive even stronger dead, but the possibility of it going out of control is also very high.

Before resolving the issue of 'control,' Orochimaru did not want to rashly summon such a dead person.

However, Orochimaru had no time to think about it anymore.

Orochimaru wanted to study Hinata's eyes and body, but he also didn't want to die at Hinata's hands, so he had no choice but to take the risk.

High profits always come with high risks, and Orochimaru was well aware of his current situation.

However, Orochimaru believed that taking a little risk was worthwhile in order to obtain Hinata's body.

That's why Orochimaru didn't choose to run away at the beginning, but instead used the Second Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage to test Hinata's abilities.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Kabuto Yakushi had already prepared the Impure World Reincarnation ritual, and upon seeing Orochimaru, he immediately stepped aside and stood still.

Orochimaru crawled across the ground like a snake, arriving beside Kabuto Yakushi. He barely managed to Hand Seals and shouted, "Impure World Reincarnation!"

Three resurrection rituals, three sacrifices.

The soil on the ground quickly spread towards the offering, completely engulfing it and gradually coalescing into the shape of a 'human'.

In the distance, the Third Raikage and the Second Tsuchikage, who were fighting, instantly collapsed, shedding a layer of dust and transforming into two other people.

Kakashi, slightly out of breath, looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "What happened over there? Did Orochimaru escape?"

Inoichi Yamanaka frowned and said, "It shouldn't be there yet. Let's go check!"

Hinata hovered in the air.

I only caught a quick glance, and the three sacrificial offerings were almost completely swallowed up by something white, a pale color exactly like the White Zetsu.

"Did it incorporate Hashirama Cells?"

Hinata did not act rashly, after all, Orochimaru could not die here without any purpose.

Furthermore, even within the Byakugan's range, Hinata couldn't find Pain's whereabouts, nor could she find Zetsu.

"What on earth is going on? If this keeps up, Orochimaru is really going to be killed by me!"

Hinata was extremely anxious; Black Zetsu was just too unreliable!

"Ughh..."

A chilling scream came from the mouth of the sacrifice. The soil completely swallowed the sacrifice, and colors slowly emerged. The three sacrifices transformed into the appearance of three other people.

In addition to the Second Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage, there is also the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure.

"Is this... Impure World Reincarnation?"

The Second Tsuchikage turned and glanced at Orochimaru, saying with a hint of admiration, "Young man, did you use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive us?"

"Impure World Reincarnation?"

The Third Raikage and the Third Kazekage were slightly puzzled, as the legend of 'Impure World Reincarnation' no longer existed in their time.

Turning back to Orochimaru, the Third Kazekage said with slight anger, "Orochimaru, you bastard..."

Orochimaru, supporting Kabuto Yakushi, was slightly out of breath. Just keeping these three people under control had exhausted all of Orochimaru's energy.

"No need for pleasantries. I summoned you all here not to listen to your idle chatter!"

Orochimaru looked up at Hinata, his eyes flashing with cold light, and said in a sinister voice, "The second match has begun!"

The Second Tsuchikage looked up at Hinata, slightly surprised, and said, "She's actually a little girl... That's quite remarkable!"

The Third Raikage roared, "Hey! Kill that guy who's controlling us!"

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly; these three hadn't immediately attacked. Although they couldn't move freely yet, they were clearly resisting Orochimaru's control.

"This is really troublesome..."

Orochimaru thought to himself, "I must resolve the issue of control as soon as possible!"

Hinata looked at the three Kage below with great interest and said with ill intent, "I say, you three were at least once 'Kage's' who stood at the pinnacle of ninja... Can't you break free from this ninjutsu with your own willpower?"

"You guys are so terrible!"

The Third Kazekage roared, "Don't provoke us, or I'll kill you first!"

The Second Tsuchikage suggested, "She's Konoha ninja... Although I don't want to be controlled, killing her would be beneficial to our village, wouldn't it?"

The Third Raikage's expression shifted upon hearing this, clearly showing that he was quite interested in the Second Tsuchikage's suggestion.

Hinata: "..."

Hinata originally wanted to provoke the three Kage, to arouse their pride as Kage, and forcefully break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, Hinata forgot that this was not the Fourth Shinobi World War. Seeing the genius ninjas of Konoha, these Kage from other villages were clearly also tempted to kill them.

The battlefield is far away.

"This is a very interesting ninjutsu... The old Tobirama Senju couldn't do this."

White Zetsu asked with some curiosity, "Is it because of the use of Hashirama Cells?"

Black Zetsu analyzed, "It should be... Tobirama Senju wouldn't casually desecrate Hashirama Senju's body. Even if it were used for research, he wouldn't transplant Hashirama Cells onto the sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation. It seems we underestimated this ninjutsu before."

After a moment of silence, Black Zetsu continued, "If this technique is further improved, it might be possible to summon Madara Uchiha."

White Zetsu frowned and said, "Didn't you say you were going to use the 'Reanimation Jutsu' to revive Madara?"

Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "Nagato and Obito both have their own ideas, and they may not act according to our plan. The safest way is to revive Madara Uchiha using the 'Impure World Reincarnation' technique, and then use Madara's power!"

"Moreover, the Rinnegan originally belonged to Madara, making him the most suitable sacrifice besides Hinata!"

White Zetsu looked at the distant battlefield and joked, "They're about to start fighting! If we don't act soon, one side might get killed by the other!"

Black Zetsu said, "Go back and inform Nagato..."

High on a mountain further from the battlefield, inside a large tree made of paper, Jue slowly stretched half of his body out from the ground.

"Orochimaru has been forced to use his full strength. Even the Impure World Reincarnation ability has been further enhanced by Orochimaru, and he can almost unleash the full power of the deceased in life."

White Zetsu reported, "Orochimaru does indeed seem to be more valuable than Deidara..."

Obito scolded, "Zetsu! You should grieve for your fallen comrades..."

After saying that, Obito turned to look at Nagato and said in a deep voice, "Once Orochimaru and Konoha have decided who is the victor, we will act immediately!"

Nagato's gaze was cold and sinister. In the dark corner, Six Paths of Pain opened their eyes simultaneously.
