The Land of Rice Fields is now also Orochimaru's underground base for establishing the Ninja Village.

Under the dim light of the laboratory, Uchiha Yoru and Orochimaru were conducting research on some kind of Forbidden Technique, while Guren and Kabuto Yakushi, along with Karin, were getting to know each other outside.

In the original story, Guren and Kabuto Yakushi were two people who couldn't stand each other, but in this life, they both showed their goodwill.

"Kabuto Yakushi is skilled in Medical Ninjutsu and currently serves as Lord Orochimaru's assistant, while also handling some management and logistics within the base."

"Guren, Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai ninja, skilled in Ninjutsu, Lord Yoru's tool, and will also be another manager of this base in the future."

After exchanging a glance, Kabuto Yakushi and Guren nodded and smiled kindly. There was no conflict between them; in fact, they would need to cooperate with each other in the future.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"I... I'm Karin, and I have healing and sensory abilities." As the youngest and weakest, Karin stammered, after all, the other two were clearly powerful ninjas, and she was far inferior to them.

Kabuto Yakushi gave Karin a kind smile. Although he had only received a little information, he could already tell how much Lord Yoru valued this child.

"Karin, from now on we will all be Lord Yoru's tools."

When it came to Karin, the newcomer, Guren greeted her with the air of a big sister, affectionately ruffling her red hair, but the shrewd glint in her eyes suggested that she was not as simple as she appeared.

In the later part of the original work, Guren was responsible for managing a base on her own, so it would be a lie to say that she lacked intelligence and skill.

Kabuto Yakushi gently pushed his eyelids open, revealing a wise look in his eyes through his lenses. He could see clearly that Guren, this newcomer ninja, had directly exposed her intentions.

She wanted to prove her worth, so she began to win people over. After all, she was an outsider, and the first step was to unite a portion of the group in order to integrate into it.

"A very intelligent and quick-witted woman," Kabuto Yakushi thought to himself, feeling neither anxious nor at all relaxed.

The more Lord Yoru values them, the higher their worth becomes. He even vaguely guessed what was going on. His dream now was to return to Konoha and return to the Orphanage with dignity.

Moreover, he could sense the methods and magnanimity of Uchiha Yoru, just like Lord Orochimaru. He wasn't afraid that you lacked ambition, but rather that you lacked strength.

Therefore, his most important task now is to enhance his own value. Now that someone is helping him share the burden of managing the base, isn't that perfect?

While the three outside were each making their own calculations, Orochimaru and Uchiha Yoru inside the laboratory couldn't help but show expressions of disappointment.

"Heh, Lord Yoru, your ambition will surely bring a hurricane to the entire Shinobi World."

Orochimaru looked thoughtful, while Uchiha Yoru made no attempt to hide his ambition, nodding with a light laugh and saying, "Just dig up the rotten roots and plant strong saplings in the fertile soil, and they will grow strong."

"Furthermore, if I become the Hokage Konoha, wouldn't Teacher Orochimaru be able to return to Konoha openly and legitimately?"

At this point, Uchiha Yoru paused slightly, turned to his teacher, and offered a huge temptation.

"With the entire Hidden Konoha supporting you, the massive and stable funding will no longer be an obstacle, and you'll also have a large number of research assistants to help you with your research, teacher."

At this moment, Orochimaru was moved. Since leaving Konoha, he had severed his delusions of power. He had only one goal: to achieve immortality, learn all Ninjutsu, and study the true meaning of this world and the true meaning of Ninjutsu.

Beneath their smiling faces, Orochimaru, though somewhat looking forward to a future where he wouldn't have to worry about funding or research materials, and would have countless assistants to help him, remained mostly calm.

"Therefore, I need Teacher Orochimaru to break through the barrier as soon as possible; I need Karin's power!"

Uchiha Yoru's true purpose in coming here this time was firstly to establish a mutually beneficial alliance with Orochimaru, and secondly to Karin.

Karin was also his most valued trump card! And she remained so even later on!

Orochimaru frowned upon hearing this, saying that he never made hasty decisions when it came to his research.

"The Uzumaki Clan's bloodline is indeed very suitable for sealing Tailed Beast. Although it will be difficult to seal the Nine-Tails Karin's body, with your Mangekyō Sharingan, I think the Mangekyo, which is known as one of the Tailed Beast nemesis, will not disappoint me. The most crucial issue now is the Forbidden Technique, the Reaper Death Seal."

At this point, Orochimaru turned serious. "Through the Death God Mask I found in the Uzumaki Shrine in the Land of Whirlpools, I have understood this Ninjutsu."

"This is a product of the Onmyoji Era before the Ninja Era. It is not Shinigami from the Underworld, but rather Shikigami cultivated by generations of Onmyoji. Shikigami follow the most basic principle of equivalent exchange of power."

"According to the intelligence records of your Uchiha Clan, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, sealed the Nine-Tails using this Ninjutsu, and even took half of the Nine-Tails into the stomach of the Shinigami (Shinigami) along with it."

At this moment, Orochimaru chuckled hoarsely, "Night, the price of summoning the Shinigami is the soul, so what's the next step?"

In short, Orochimaru doesn't have that kind of self-sacrificing spirit to offer his own soul to the Shinigami, especially since this is S-Rank Forbidden Jutsu, not something anyone can just learn casually.

Otherwise, how could the Uzumaki Clan have fallen to such a state back then? With each member Reaper Death Seal, who would dare to provoke them?

S-Rank Forbidden Jutsu not only come with a heavy price but also have an extremely demanding learning difficulty.

Seeing Orochimaru's wicked smile, Uchiha Yoru also smiled, as if he had been prepared for this.

"Teacher Orochimaru, I remember your Corpse Reincarnation Technique is almost complete. The only difficulty lies in dealing with the damage to the soul during rebirth. But now I've discovered something very interesting that perfectly solves the problem of soul damage."

As he said this, Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and smiled. With a wave of his hand, a black snake slowly crawled out from his wrist, and finally opened its mouth and spat out a corpse.

Or rather, a sealed body.

At this moment, Orochimaru showed a curious expression. The body was deathly pale, as if it were not human. However, there were too many strange creatures in the Shinobi World, so Orochimaru was not surprised.

"If I hadn't awakened my Wood Release abilities, I probably wouldn't have discovered that this person was secretly monitoring the Uchiha Clan. Although they eventually escaped, they left behind several interesting clones."

White Zetsu! A bio-engineered product cultivated by Kaguya using the Divine Tree. Later, Madara Uchiha's will created the current Akatsuki Organization's White Zetsu, while Black Zetsu deceived Madara, making him believe that he created them.

"A very interesting body, and more importantly, perhaps this can cleverly solve the physical difficulties that the teacher has always struggled to overcome."

This time, Uchiha Yoru went all out, even going so far as to get Orochimaru back on track sooner. White Zetsu's physique can be described as an alternative form of immortality.

As Uchiha Yoru explained, Orochimaru arrived in front of the sealed White Zetsu's body, and after a brief examination, he revealed a monstrous smile.

"A very interesting body." At this moment, Orochimaru raised his head and looked at Uchiha Yoruro meaningful smile. It seems that this disciple is hiding many secrets.

"Lord Yoru, the Uchiha Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the oldest Kekkei Genkai families."

Orochimaru attributed all of this to the Uchiha Clan's deep-rooted resources. After all, there were countless secrets and intelligence that even he had never heard of. Uchiha Yoru was either fighting on the front lines or needed to improve his strength, and these things were not easy to discover.

This requires substantial human and material resources, so the best explanation is that it can all be attributed to the profound heritage of an ancient family.

"I need to do some research and prepare this Ninjutsu. Also, Karin needs to keep her mind and body in top condition."

Orochimaru, engrossed in his research, revealed a fanatical expression, while Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded, "Then I'll be waiting for you, Teacher Orochimaru."

The fact that such powerful weapons as Tailed Beast and Jinchuriki are revered as village-protecting weapons in the Shinobi World is no exaggeration; they are not as weak as depicted in the original work.

Before the Jinchūriki's rampage, their massive Tailed Beast Level Chakra and incredible regeneration made them practically an unlimited Ninjutsu bomber.

The power of the explosion was devastating. Even among the Kage Level ninjas in the Shinobi World, few possessed Ninjutsu capable of attacking like the Tailed Beast Ball. With a single shot, the map was flattened.

Therefore, even though Jinchuriki are so dangerous, they have always been regarded as a deterrent weapon by the major ninja villages.

Knowing full well the other half of the Nine-Tails, the method of capturing it, and even possessing an excellent vessel, it would be utterly idiotic for Uchiha Yoru not to make this decision.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It seems the future will be very interesting. Perhaps the Riding Susanoo Nine-Tails will reappear in Konoha."

As for why he didn't seal it within his own body, Uchiha Yoru had considered it. After all, he now possessed Wood Style Physique and Uchiha blood, and he had also obtained the Nagato 'Uzumaki blood, making him an excellent choice for Jinchuriki.

However, he had a better plan.

Naruto Uzumaki almost reached limitless power with half a Tailed Beast, so Karin Uzumaki shouldn't be too far behind.

In the Shinobi World, in a dark basement.

"Obito, the clone that was monitoring the Uchiha in Konoha has disappeared."

Wearing an Obito, Obito glanced sideways, revealing a strange Sharingan, and coldly stared at the hermaphrodite who had emerged halfway from the ground, revealing a disdainful sneer.

"While I was somewhat surprised, it wasn't unexpected that the awakened Mangekyo of the night would discover you."

Uchiha Yoru, a fellow clansman who had awakened the Mangekyo, and now the head of the Uchiha Clan, Obito with nothing but a mocking expression from Obito.

"Night, is this your dream? Too naive. Becoming Hokage? Utterly laughable. Only creating another world is the true world."

At this moment, Obito was clearly in a state of madness. They were classmates back then. After Kakashi graduated at the age of five, there were only two Uchiha clan members left in the class, not to mention that Uchiha Yoru had a pretty good relationship with him.

"Zetsu, since my old classmate wants to become Hokage, perhaps we can give him a push. As for whether he can ultimately become Hokage, that depends on his own abilities."

Obito revealed a cruel smile; he had already decided what to do.

Their current goal is to collect the Tailed Beast, and they certainly won't let go of any opportunity to weaken the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The differences between Konoha and the Uchiha are now out in the open, but with the Uchiha and Konoha strong, it is unlikely that a full-scale war will break out between the two sides due to their mutual wariness.

Therefore, what he needs is to provide some assistance to the Uchiha side and create turmoil in Konoha.

"Zetsu, sell the information about the discord between the Uchiha clan of Konoha and the Third Hokage to other ninja villages. I think we won't need to lift a finger; someone will step in to help the Uchiha Police Department grow stronger."

At this point, Obito paused suddenly, then said coldly, "And the Rebel Forces in Kirigakure, we need to add fuel to the fire. Selling the same information to other ninja villages, I don't think anyone will let this opportunity pass."

Given the sordid rivalry between ninja villages, how could anyone possibly let such an opportunity pass?

When Rebel Forces breaks out in another country, they will naturally secretly support the weaker side and then watch the two sides fight to the death. This has always been the tactic of all ninja villages.

"Also, I am Madara Uchiha!"

Inside the dark cave, Uchiha Obito revealed an extremely evil Sharingan, filled with madness.

He wants to create a world with Lin!

The Land of Rice Fields, Orochimaru's underground base.

"Reaper Death Seal!"

Si-hai-wei-mao-xu-zi-you-wu-si

Orochimaru, his hands clasped together and wearing the Death God Mask, trembled and twisted, letting out screams. The price of an S-rank Forbidden Technique is extremely high. Instantly, his hair moved without wind, followed by a chilling aura of death.

At the same time, a large amount of Chakra was extracted. At this moment Uchiha Yoruro, who was directly in front of him, showed a Mangekyo expression. His Mangekyou Sharingan was activated, and only with the Cursed Seal within could a shadowy outline be vaguely seen.

Orochimaru, who had just used this Ninjutsu, was sweating profusely, and out of the corner of his eye, he could clearly see the Shinigami appearing behind him.

The purple-skinned, emotionless Grim Shinigami slowly extended his hand, grasped the Death God's Blade he was biting in his mouth, and then slowly sliced open Orochimaru's stomach. In an instant, Orochimaru's body was also injured.

Blood splattered from his abdomen, and Orochimaru let out a painful groan, not only from the physical pain but also from the agony of summoning the Shinigami.

In an instant, a wisp of soul emerged from the Shinigami's stomach, and immediately Uchiha Yoru shouted from the opposite side, "Teacher Orochimaru!"

The cooperation between master and disciple was impeccable. With a loud shout from Uchiha Yoru, Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat and hastily removed his mask.

"Vomit!"

Amidst a chilling, nauseating groan, Orochimaru removed his mask, revealing a deathly pale face belonging to White Zetsu Orochimaru. The next moment, White Zetsu spat out a large White Phosphorus Great Snake.

Before Uchiha Yoru stood a body, which was Orochimaru's original body. The White Phosphorus Great Snake suddenly slithered in, and Orochimaru's body trembled instantly.

"Vomit!"

A large White Phosphorus Great Snake lay limply on the ground, while Orochimaru's body slowly stood up, and the White Zetsu's body opposite him went limp after losing its soul.

"Hehe."

Panting heavily, Orochimaru clearly watched as the Shinigami, having done all this, instinctively tried to harvest souls through the White Zetsu's body, but after grasping nothing, disappeared without a trace of emotion.

Summoning Shinigami, sealing the enemy, and then collecting the soul of the caster—there's a rule in this process: the caster himself is also devoid of consciousness.

"Teacher Orochimaru"

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but sigh, "Snake Uncle truly deserves to be the only one who can exploit the Grim Shinigami's bug."

First, he reincarnated into White Zetsu, then summoned Shinigami, and after using him, he used a Golden Cicada Shell trick to escape back into his own body. Even Shinigami could be exploited. I wonder what the Fourth Hokage would think if he knew.

"Teacher Orochimaru, it seems your Corpse Reincarnation Technique is a bit different, and also!"

Although Uchiha Yoru didn't continue speaking, Orochimaru let out a hoarse, evil laugh.

"Lord Yoru, just as you said, this world has too many secrets, and isn't White Zetsu's body still usable?"

Good heavens! Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru's eyes widened as he looked at the limp White Zetsu in the distance. It made perfect sense.

An empty shell; Orochimaru can't reincarnate at will. Six steps to take off.

"Moreover, Lord Yoru, you're right, there are too many secrets about the soul." Orochimaru's wicked smile clearly Living Corpse Reincarnation was somewhat different, or rather, he hadn't staked everything on this Ninjutsu.

In the original work, Orochimaru's soul almost transformed into White Snake. In this life, under his guidance, Orochimaru maintained a calm and restrained demeanor. The White Snake was merely a temporary vessel for his soul, a vessel for performing Ninjutsu, rather than a bizarre mutation.

Perhaps because of this, this Ninjutsu is no longer limited to once every three years. Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes, pondering to himself, "Could it be because of this?"

Just as Uchiha Yoru thought, without completely transforming his soul into the form of the White Snake, but instead using it as a vessel, it was indeed possible to use the Corpse Reincarnation Technique at any time.

However, the same drawback is that the protection of the soul is more fragile, so Orochimaru's reincarnated body can only be a weak existence, otherwise it will suffer a severe backlash.

The White Zetsu's body was perfect, practically tailor-made for Orochimaru.

I need your support.
