The Seven Ninja Swordsmen
Obito Uchiha was very satisfied with Ōnoki's reaction.
That's exactly the effect he wanted.
"So? Do you want to cooperate with me? The damage Konoha has done to you isn't just physical; can you bear the psychological damage? Especially, are you willing to watch your life's achievements be ruined like this?"
Obito's words were like the whispers of a demon from hell.
The sound echoed back and forth around the Ōnoki ear mushrooms.
Soon, Ōnoki's gaze hardened.
"Let me see how the Impure World Reincarnation is progressing before making any plans."
"Then come with me."
A vortex appeared before Obito Uchiha's eyes, and he entered the Kamui Dimension with Ōnoki.
Inside the Akatsuki Organization's research facility in Cloud Village).
A vortex quickly appeared in the dimly lit space.
"Kabuto Yakushi, demonstrate the results of the Impure World Reincarnation. Our partner has arrived."
Obito Uchiha's voice came first, followed by the appearance of him and Ōnoki.
Kabuto Yakushi ignored it and focused intently on feeling the changes in his body.
Did you hear me?
Obito Uchiha frowned slightly; he felt that Kabuto Yakushi had become just as annoying as Orochimaru.
Kabuto Yakushi slowly opened his eyes. "The results of the Impure World Reincarnation, come with me."
Kabuto Yakushi walked ahead, with Obito Uchiha and Ōnoki following behind.
Soon, after navigating a winding and twisting path, the three arrived at a very spacious underground area.
"Snap."
A crisp snap of fingers.
Several torches immediately lit up the surrounding dark space, illuminating it completely.
What was once pitch black and impossible to see suddenly became clearly visible.
"This is!"
Obito Uchiha and Ōnoki's eyes widened instantly.
The two of them saw a total of seven people lined up against the wall in front of them!
The seven people had different appearances and each held a different kind of weapon.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
Ōnoki was the first to speak in surprise.
Then Obito Uchiha's eyes flickered as he glanced slightly at the somewhat deranged Kabuto Yakushi.
He hadn't expected that after only two days away, the other party would have already created the Impure World Reincarnation Body of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
"Kabuto Yakushi, I didn't expect you to be so fast."
"Is this fast? It's already very slow," Kabuto Yakushi said, sticking out his long tongue.
Over the past two days, he has spent most of his time working on himself, specifically fusing the abilities of the Sound Five.
He integrated all their abilities into himself.
It took him more than a day, meaning that the Impure World Reincarnation Body of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were created in just half a day, and the talismans to control them were also prepared at the same time.
"Can they move?"
After observing the seven people in front of him, Ōnoki asked a question.
"Kabuto Yakushi, the Tsuchikage-sama wishes to see the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
Obito slightly parted the corners of his mouth.
Kabuto Yakushi nodded, his long robe trailing on the ground, and walked towards the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Upon getting closer, he pulled out a Kunai from his hand, with a purple talisman tied to his backside.
"This is a spell I personally modified. It can remove the restrictions on the souls of those Impure World Reincarnation to the greatest extent possible, allowing them to fight based on their past life's experience."
"While it certainly can't compare to its peak in life, it's already several times stronger than the original Impure World Reincarnation."
He spoke confidently, then with a backhand motion, shoved the Kunai into the back of Zabuza's neck, who was carrying Executioner's Blade.
In an instant, Zabuza Momochi's eyes lit up, and he began to move.
He stared blankly at his hands, then his feet and his whole body. "What's wrong with me...? Why am I not dead?"
"No, I should be dead. Where am I...?"
"We can even talk! Great!" Ōnoki was very excited.
This kind of Impure World Reincarnation looks just like a true resurrection.
At this moment, Zabuza noticed that there were several other people in front of him, especially a cold-looking young man in a red robe next to him.
Who are you?!
The Executioner's Blade was suddenly swung down, about to strike Kabuto Yakushi beside him!
In that instant, "Clang!"
The Executioner's Blade hovered directly in front of Kabuto Yakushi's face, unable to move an inch.
What's going on?
Zabuza used all his strength but couldn't move down an inch.
"Snap."
A crisp snap of fingers rang out.
Zabuza's eyes returned to pure black, devoid of light, and he could no longer speak.
Kabuto Yakushi smiled and approached Obito Uchiha and Ōnoki: "This is the effect of my Improved Impure World Reincarnation. It allows them to freely control their bodies, meaning they can fight according to their own combat experience, but they are still under my control. If I want, I can make them stop attacking in an instant, and at the same time shut down their consciousness, allowing me to completely control them."
"I never imagined that the Forbidden Jutsu developed by the Second Hokage could be improved even further..."
Ōnoki muttered to himself.
He saw in Zabuza's behavior that the other party possessed self-awareness.
"Are the others also able to obey orders at the same time?"
Ōnoki spoke first.
The Kabuto Yakushi: "Of course, it's not just seven people. If I wanted, I could control hundreds at once. That's how I use their self-awareness to fight. I don't need to control them myself; I just need to give them orders to do what."
Hundreds of people?!
Ōnoki gasped.
No wonder it was considered Forbidden Jutsu back then.
Fortunately, the First Hokage considered this technique too cruel and immoral, and banned its use.
Otherwise, given the ability to control hundreds of people without dying and possessing self-combat awareness, only Sealing Jutsu could stop the Impure World Reincarnation.
That would mean being in an invincible position.
"Are you satisfied now?" Obito Uchiha, looking at Ōnoki.
Ōnoki nodded decisively. "Satisfied, the Impure World Reincarnation can actually achieve this level!"
He was overjoyed; wasn't this much more effective than the living army he had previously assembled?
It's heartbreaking when living soldiers die, especially since it severely weakens the village's strength. But it's different if the Impure World Reincarnation is used; what's there to feel sorry for when the dead die?
And they won't die easily.
If you encounter a team that doesn't know Sealing Jutsu, you can wear them down until they're defeated.
"Let's cooperate. When should we choose a date to launch our All-Out Attack on Konoha?"
Ōnoki said, sounding slightly excited.
"No rush. Once I've collected the cells of all the former strongest Shinobi World, I'll be invincible before launching a foolproof attack on Konoha."
Obito's lips curled slightly, exuding confidence.
"By the way, the main reason you lost last time was because you underestimated Konoha, especially that Kanami. Underestimating him was your biggest mistake."
