The Mizukage was not the only one shocked. On the other side, Tobirama and the others were stunned as well. After all, the scene before them had hit them hard. Chakra that should only exist inside the human body was appearing from within the earth itself. It was far too horrifying.
Including Hashirama, who was bound by Enkidu, all four of them turned their gazes toward Orochimaru. At that moment, they thought of what Orochimaru had just said: uncovering the truth of the world.
"Orochimaru, is this the truth you were talking—" Before Jiraiya could finish, a bang rang out, and a reverse summoning interrupted him.
"Gray Snake?"
"Lord Enkidu, Lord Shiro said the final stage has already begun. He needs you and Lord Orochimaru to make preparations. The other side may take this chance to act."
"Understood. Can Shiro still hold on over there?" Enkidu asked as he flew down.
"He should be fine. Lord Shiro didn't give any other instructions. Oh, right, Lord Orochimaru." As he spoke, Gray Snake turned to look at Orochimaru. "Lord Shiro asked me to tell you that the Underworld is that lady's territory. Don't stir up unnecessary trouble."
Hearing that, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, slightly concealing the look in them, and said in a low voice, "I understand. Tell Shiro-kun not to worry. I know what I'm doing."
Gray Snake did not believe Orochimaru's nonsense. He knew exactly what kind of person Orochimaru was. Though Shiro had once dragged him back from the path of a mad scientist, his nature was still there. As time passed, this man had become more and more like a magus—a magus who pursued only the Root!
This sort of situation had once happened to Shiro as well, but unlike Shiro, Orochimaru did not reject that change.
So
