Orochimaru's Calculations! Undercurrents Stirring
Akatsuki's Secret Base.
The Masked Man returned triumphantly!
Jue leaned closer, looking anxious, and asked, "How is it?"
The Masked Man laughed, "I've successfully made the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path absorb the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails from Naruto and Killer B Bee! The only drawback is that only half of the Nine-Tails... but it's still a huge step forward!"
After saying that, the Masked Man used his Dōjutsu to throw Sasuke: "I picked him up on the way; he might be useful eventually."
"What are your plans next?" Jue continued to ask.
The Masked Man replied, "Of course, we'll summon the Ten-Tails directly, use Infinite Tsukuyomi, and plunge the whole world into Illusory Dreams! ୧⍢⃝୨"
Somewhat worried, Zetsu said, "But we're still missing the Three-Tails, Four-Tails, and Six-Tails within the Shinki..."
"The Four-Tails and Six-Tails were alright; Roshi and Utakata still had some left, but the Three-Tails..."
The Masked Man pondered, "This is indeed a difficult situation... We must resolve this quickly. Now that Orochimaru has resurrected the four Former Hokage, even without the Shinki, they are still a huge problem for us..."
Jue suggested, "Why don't we use the Rinne Rebirth to revive him..."
The Masked Man turned to look at Jue, his eyes sharpening beneath the mask. "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? ╰_╯"
Shut up immediately.
After a while, Zetsu seemed to have thought of something and said, "Awakening the Rinnegan requires the spiritual power and physical body of Sage. Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra's Indra's Chakra in this generation. If we transplant cells from Hashirama's Sage Body into him, what do you think...?"
Jue's words made the Masked Man's eyes light up. "I hadn't considered this before, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try." (▿▿)
Suddenly, the Masked Man's expression changed slightly. "Huh? It seems some little rats have found our base..."
On the other side.
The Raikage was beating Killer B mercilessly. "Beetle! I told you to stay put on Turtle Island, and now look what's happened! The Eight-Tails is gone, are you happy now?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"
"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! Take this 'Lariat'!! (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)"
Not far from the two, Shinki was considering whether to give Naruto another Tailed Beast...
After much deliberation, he gave up.
The Akatsuki was after the Tailed Beasts. Naruto had barely escaped with his life; to give him another one would be like pushing him back into the fire...
At this moment, the Fourth Hokage looked at Shinki with a solemn expression for some reason. "I think the name of the Reincarnation Technique you just used wasn't very good. I've given you a new one. What do you think?"
Shinki nodded with a hint of anticipation. "Go ahead."
"Ninja Art: Infinite Dark Reincarnation Technique - Demon Shinigami's Fate Technique... What do you think? ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"
Shinki gave an awkward yet polite smile: ∩_∩
That's a great name, it's like a joke!
By the time they shouted, the body was already cold!
Shinki: "I think it's a good name, but Fourth Generation, could you please repeat the name you just mentioned?"
The Fourth Hokage repeated with a serious expression, "Ninja Art: Infinite Dark Reincarnation Hidden Demon Shinigami Life Technique! I'm very confident in my naming skills! (ﾉ∇︎ )"
"Hey, you're a bit airheaded." The Second Hokage looked at the Fourth with a serious expression.
"If I were alive, I would have laughed out loud just hearing the name you gave me."
"They're all Hokage now, how come they're acting so silly? 눈_눈"
Fourth: "..."
The First pressed down on the Second's shoulder. "Tobirama, you can't say that. Since the Fourth was able to become Hokage, he must have had some extraordinary abilities!"
"Speaking of which, Fourth, you looked to be only in your early twenties. How did you die?"
Minato scratched his head, a little embarrassed by the First Hokage's question, "To seal the Nine-Tails. (ꈍᴗꈍ)"
First: "Hiss~ To seal the Nine-Tails..."
The conversation stalled mid-sentence, ending in an awkward silence that left both parties feeling very uncomfortable.
Shinki then clapped his hands and stood up. "Alright, you guys keep chatting, I'll head back."
After saying goodbye, I used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Turtle Island!
The First leader clapped his hands, full of enthusiasm, and said, "Yosh! Then we should get moving!"
Meanwhile, Orochimaru and Kabuto were slowly moving from the Land of Lightning towards the Land of Fire Border...
On the way, Orochimaru kept touching the Curse Mark on his face left by the Death God, and the more he touched it, the more heartbroken he became...
"This Curse Mark is branded directly into my soul; no matter how many bodies I change, it will always exist! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"
"Damn it, why me? Why me?! (▼ヘ▼#)"
Kabuto asked, "Lord Orochimaru, the Ninjas I Impure World Reincarnation Tensei are still fighting the Allied Shinobi Forces on the front lines. What should we do...?"
Orochimaru lowered his head, caught in a dilemma.
He wanted to obtain the body of the Shinki, but the Shinki was too powerful and he couldn't control it!
Currently, it seems that the only option is to join forces with the Masked Men to attack Shinki.
But if the Masked Man gains absolute power and the Infinite Tsukuyomi succeeds, all his previous experiments and dedication to science will have been in vain...
"Lord Orochimaru?" Kabuto asked again when he saw that Orochimaru remained silent for a long time.
Orochimaru looked up, his eyes gradually sharpening. "Go find the Masked Man..."
The Land of Lightning, Kumogakure, Headquarters the Allied Shinobi Forces.
When the Raikage and Hokage's observations and experiences were relayed back, smiles appeared on everyone's faces at Headquarters!
"With four Hokage assisting us, we're sure to win this battle! ୧⍢⃝୨"
"Yes, now that the Third and Fifth Operational Units have the support of the Second and Fourth Operational Units, they will soon be able to annihilate all the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjas. Victory is just around the corner!"
"We can't be blindly optimistic. The Akatsuki only needs three more Tailed Beasts to complete the collection of all Nine Tailed Beasts, and half of the White Zetsu Army hasn't even left yet. We can't guarantee they don't have a backup plan..."
"That makes sense. Now that victory is so close, we can't afford to let our guard down!"
"I don't know why, but I always feel a vague sense of unease..."
You're just overthinking it!
While everyone at Headquarters was discussing amongst themselves, the perception and liaison teams were still working diligently.
Suddenly, the giant sensory water sphere in front of the perception class trembled slightly! The dense ripples on it mysteriously disappeared by half!
Ao quickly reported, "The Chakra reactions of the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjas have all disappeared!"
The Mizukage wore a relieved expression. "Finally, these Impure World Reincarnation Ninjas are gone! (^ワ^)"
The Tsuchikage asked, "Was it done by the Surprise Attack Division?"
Inoichi Yamanaka: "That shouldn't be the case. The Surprise Attack Division has only just arrived at the Akatsuki's Hideout..."
"According to reports from the front lines, the disappearance of the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjas does not mean that the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu has been dispelled; they have simply been 'collected' by the caster."
Shikaku Nara: "The person who cast this spell, who's supposed to be collecting the scattered Impure World Reincarnation, probably has another plan in mind!"
"All military units are hereby reminded to declare martial law!"
