Four Reincarnated Kage!
Kakashi Hatake's judgment was correct.
Because Sasuke Uchiha did indeed choose to defect voluntarily.
When Orochimaru and Obito Uchiha found him and offered to make him stronger, Sasuke Uchiha had already decided to defect from Konoha.
Even though...
The opponent is a dangerous missing-nin!
However, in order to complete his revenge, Sasuke Uchiha didn't care at all about the source of his power. As long as he could kill Itachi Uchiha in the future, he was willing to abandon everything!
"Snort..."
Sasuke Uchiha, having chosen to side with Orochimaru, still maintained his arrogance. "I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Of course not..."
Orochimaru didn't care about Sasuke Uchiha's personality. Looking at the proud young man before him, he stuck out his tongue and greedily licked the corner of his mouth. "I really hope Sasuke-kun becomes stronger and stronger..."
Most...
It is possible to awaken the Rinnegan in the future.
At that time, the fruits of my labor will be even more abundant!
Unfortunately...
Not long after Orochimaru and Obito Uchiha left Konoha with Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake caught up with them by following their Konoha!
"If it weren't for the problems with the operation over there..."
Orochimaru noticed Kakashi Hatake following him and his gaze fell on Obito Uchiha: "So that's Obito- kun's former best friend who doesn't want to give up on you..."
"Snort..."
Obito Uchiha snorted coldly, showing disdain for Kakashi Hatake who was chasing after him, and leaped towards Kakashi Hatake's direction to meet him!
"I'll hold him off, you guys retreat first."
"I'm truly grateful..."
Orochimaru's smile immediately deepened.
Seriously...
Oh, Konoha ninjas...
It seems like everyone can never escape their entanglements.
As Orochimaru thought this, his gaze fell on Sasuke Uchiha, as if he saw the shadow of another blond-haired brat in him...
As well as...
The teacher of that blond brat.
If nothing unexpected happens...
Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki should be training in the Land of Fire right now. If they receive news from Konoha that Sasuke Uchiha has been taken away by them, it will be a real problem for the master and disciple.
"Let's go."
Orochimaru smiled and Sasuke Uchiha to follow him quickly away, "If we leave too late, it won't be good if the news gets out to people who shouldn't know..."
Before the words were even finished!
A splash of water suddenly flew out from the forest!
Orochimaru's smile vanished instantly, and he hastily raised his arm, only to have the water droplet pierce through it like a bullet!
"This is..."
Orochimaru!
This move reminded him of a boy he had captured!
This is...
The Hozuki Clan's Water Gun Technique!
The Water Gun Technique that instantly pierced his arm was clearly of high skill, far surpassing the level of the boy named Suigetsu Hozuki that he had captured!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Suddenly, a loud laugh echoed through the forest.
"Young people these days are truly remarkable..."
The Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, emerged from the forest, scratching the back of his head somewhat sheepishly, seemingly embarrassed by his sneak attack. "I was fully prepared to ambush you, yet I still failed..."
"..."
Orochimaru's face, however, was devoid of any smile.
Because he had already vaguely discerned something from the newcomer.
This guy...
It turns out he's a person Impure World Reincarnation!
The Shinobi World ...
There is also a user skilled in the Impure World Reincarnation technique!
"All right."
Seeing that Orochimaru didn't respond, the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, didn't feel embarrassed talking to himself. He deliberately opened his palm and continued, "Although my ambush on you, junior, failed, the outcome of our battle shouldn't change... right?"
"Who is this guy?"
Sasuke Uchiha instinctively looked at Orochimaru.
"Don't young people these days even recognize me?"
The Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, couldn't help but stroke his smug little mustache, a wrinkled expression forming on his face. "This is truly forgetting one's roots..."
"The Second Mizukage... Gengetsu Hozuki."
Orochimaru's snake-like eyes narrowed, revealing an extremely dangerous look. "Compared to the Second Mizukage appearing here, I'm more curious about the jutsu Impure World Reincarnation the Second Mizukage..."
After all...
It's not hard to guess Gengetsu Hozuki's identity.
A powerful individual who is highly skilled in the Water Gun Technique, and who was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation with extremely precious offerings, must have a very high status.
"You guessed right!"
The Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, gave Orochimaru a dramatic thumbs-up before slowly shaking his head. "Unfortunately, I can't tell you the answer to the second question..."
"But..."
"I already guessed it."
Orochimaru's expression shifted, his eyes fixed on Gengetsu Hozuki in front of him, as if he had already seen through who was behind him.
"Pocket..."
"Is it you?"
Orochimaru's eyes immediately turned dangerous, as if he wanted to confirm his guess. "Besides me and Lord Shirou, if there's anyone else in this world who can master the Impure World Reincarnation, it's you..."
Especially...
Such a high level of perfection in the Impure World Reincarnation!
When Orochimaru thought of this, his inner suspicions were completely confirmed. He thought of the assistant who used to follow him around and could only help him with chores, and couldn't even participate in combat missions. His face turned extremely ugly!
"As expected of Lord Orochimaru..."
A cold voice appeared in Orochimaru's ear.
However...
Even faster than that sound is a sharp blade!
A tall, thin figure covered in bandages appeared out of thin air from behind Orochimaru, and his Ninja Blade suddenly pierced through Orochimaru's body!
"It really was you..."
Orochimaru's face finally darkened to the point of looking like it was about to drip water. He turned around and looked at the figure that appeared behind him, but he spat out a mouthful of blood with contempt!
"The Second Tsuchikage Mu..."
"Pocket..."
"You bastard..."
"You've really been hiding a lot of good stuff from me!"
As Orochimaru spoke, his eyes turned icy cold, but his actions were far faster than his voice. "However, do you think that just because you've mastered the Impure World Reincarnation and Impure World Reincarnation two Kage, you're qualified to betray me?!"
The next moment!
Orochimaru's mouth suddenly opened!
Another Orochimaru suddenly emerged from his mouth!
"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"
Orochimaru swiftly used his Orochi-ryū Substitution Technique to land in a safe position, and his hands quickly closed, instantly summoning two coffins!
"My collection..."
"But I'm no less capable than you..."
Snap!
The lids of the two coffins slammed shut!
Two figures emerged from the coffin!
Fourth Mizukage, Yagura!
Fourth Kazekage Rasa!
Orochimaru did not utilize the two Kage during the Chunin Exams, as he needed to rely more on the power of the Past Hokage. The two assassinated Kage were unlikely to play any role in that battle and were merely kept as backups.
Now...
That's exactly what it'll do!
The tide of battle seemed to turn in an instant!
In terms of sheer numbers, Orochimaru, along with two Kage, could potentially face the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage. Three Kage-level against two Kage-level might even have an advantage, especially since Orochimaru is well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Impure World Reincarnation users...
"Lord Orochimaru's collection is indeed extensive..."
Yakushi Kabuto's words came from the Second Tsuchikage Mu, Mu, his tone always carrying a hint of respect for Orochimaru: "It seems I acted a little too hastily..."
"But..."
Yakushi Kabuto's voice quickly became serious again as he earnestly explained the differences between them to Orochimaru: "Lord Orochimaru, the difference between Kage is vast. At least your two artifacts don't seem to be performing very well in battle..."
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, died in an assassination attempt by Kisame Hoshigaki; the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, was killed by Orochimaru himself!
On the contrary...
The Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage are quite powerful...
At least these two Kage were active in the dangerous Warring States Period when they were young, and their most famous defeat was at the hands of Shirou Emiya...
Coincidentally, almost all the well-known strongmen in the Shinobi World had been defeated by Shirou Emiya, so their defeats were nothing to brag about.
"Then..."
"Let's see who's truly capable!"
Orochimaru's face flashed with a mocking smile. He was well aware of the difference between the two Kage, but the two Kage he summoned were only there to cover for him!
True combat power...
Rather, it is himself who is extremely aware of the shortcomings of those who Impure World Reincarnation!
Most importantly...
I happen to have an ally nearby!
As soon as Obito Uchiha Kakashi Hatake, reinforcements will arrive immediately!
"Sasuke-kun, move away."
Orochimaru held up his finger while gently soothing Sasuke Uchiha's emotions. "Although you've already witnessed the strength of someone like Lord Shirou, I think you wouldn't mind seeing another battle at the Kage level. Such opportunities are rare..."
