Li Yu and Namikaze Minato were so engrossed in watching the fight that they felt anyone who went up against Orochimaru was just bullying him with numbers, a classic case of the odds being stacked against the odds, and it was supposed to be a one-on-one battle.
"Hehe, you two, stop discussing and come at me together," Orochimaru suddenly appeared beside them, speaking in a mocking, hoarse voice.
"We said it ourselves, he said we should all come at him together."
"That's right, don't say we bullied the few with the many of us later."
Li Yu and Namikaze Minato, shrugged, and indicated that it didn't matter. "You brought it up yourself, so don't blame us."
"Haha, Senju Nawaki, the Fourth Namikaze Minato, Konoha's strongest fighting force is all here."
"Alright, after I've dealt with you all, I'll go to Konoha to complete the plan I didn't finish years ago."
Namikaze Minato initially appeared nonchalant with a smile, but upon hearing Orochimaru's plan to wreak havoc and Konoha Konoha, his face immediately fell, his smile vanished, and his eyes sharpened.
" Orochimaru- sensei, you still love to joke around as always. Have you forgotten how you fled in such a sorry state last time?"
"Snort"
"Last time, I just didn't expect my outstanding eldest disciple to be so capable, and that he had been holding back a trick up his sleeve."
"This time, don't hide it anymore!"
Li Yu's eyes rapidly changed, from the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyo, and then, with another rotation, transformed into the same purple vortex as Orochimaru's.
" Rinnegan! Very good."
Orochimaru floated back to the rooftop and stood opposite Itachi, while Li Yu and Namikaze Minato also came to the rooftop to confront each other.
" Orochimaru- sensei, I think you should stop hiding and call him out!"
"Oh, you found out!"
" Yamato, come out here."
What started as a one-on-one fight suddenly turned into a massive brawl as so many people appeared in a small former Uchiha compound.
Li Yu also failed to detect Yamato's presence until he activated his Rinnegan, at which point he saw Yamato was also hidden within the wall.
Yamato was still wearing the same clothes as the rest of the group, the same outfit as Kimimaro.
" Lord Orochimaru," Yamato, rose from the ground and stood behind Orochimaru.
This outfit made Li Yu feel extremely awkward. This look was too much like a villain's. Was there any chance for him to redeem himself?
" Orochimaru- sensei, it's three against two! We have a slight advantage."
"Hehe, Nawaki, you're overthinking it. The feast I prepared for the weasel hasn't even been served yet."
Orochimaru bit his finger, quickly Hand Seals, and slammed his hands on the ground.
" Summoning Technique "
An unmarked coffin rose from the ground.
"This is Impure World Reincarnation!"
"Here we go again, Orochimaru- sensei, still so unoriginal."
Orochimaru's head popped out from behind, grinning smugly.
" Nawaki, you're seriously underestimating your teacher."
Orochimaru's other meaning is, "You're all just playing with what I left over."
"It's just a puppet that's stronger and can unleash more of its power."
Just like a certain Apple phone nowadays, the memory is getting bigger, the photos are getting clearer, and the battery capacity is getting larger, but essentially nothing has changed, and there's nothing new to see.
"No, no, look, the food is served!" Orochimaru clapped his hands twice, and the coffin lid immediately slammed to the ground, revealing Orochimaru's true face.
Orochimaru has come up with a new Ninjutsu, finally found someone who knows it, and is showing it off.
" Deidara " immediately transformed into a yellow-haired figure, dressed in Akatsuki cloak, and with cracks on his face.
Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Itachi didn't see anything special about Deidara; they were simply amazed.
For Li Yu, who was familiar with the plot, Orochimaru was indeed shocking, and a guess involuntarily came to mind.
No way, you can't believe it. Orochimaru Impure World Reincarnation can be used like this?
Deidara had rows of black cylindrical objects stuck in his nose, and his ears, neck, and limbs had additional black, rod-like objects sticking out of them.
Deidara stepped out from behind his horse, opened his eyes, his purple pupils swirling with black vortexes.
" Deidara, how can he have the Rinnegan?!"
"Isn't the Rinnegan something only Orochimaru possesses? Has it become so common?"
Uchiha Itachi and Namikaze Minato simultaneously raised a series of questions.
"The combination of the Six Paths Puppet and the Impure World Reincarnation... Orochimaru is a true genius! How come I never thought of that!"
"Oh, Nawaki, you actually know so much! No wonder you're my disciple! You saw through the mystery at a glance."
Orochimaru chuckled as he worked on his latest creation.
This is something that has never appeared in the original Hokage manga. Although Nagato could create Six Paths Puppet, he could not use the Impure World Reincarnation.
The Tailed Beast Corps controlled by Obito in the Fourth Shinobi World War shares some similarities, but upon closer inspection, Deidara shows significant differences, distinguishing between professional and amateur.
Orochimaru knew about the Impure World Reincarnation, but he didn't have the Rinnegan, let alone the Six Paths Puppet Technique.
Li Yu has all four limbs intact and is very strong. Although he meets both conditions, he believes in his own strength. He has Wood Release and can create Multi Shadow Clone, which is even more effective than the Six Paths Puppet.
" Ninjutsu that can only be performed by those who have attained the Rinnegan. It involves inserting black rods capable of emitting signals into the corpse and using Six Paths abilities to transform the corpse into a humanoid puppet."
" Orochimaru- sensei, I wonder what the power of your puppet is!"
"Why don't you try it and you'll see?"
"That's right, everyone, art needs to be displayed," Deidara said, looking at Itachi with confidence.
Deidara, who was once subdued by Uchiha Itachi with a Rinnegan, determined to complete his unfinished art.
" Art is an Explosion "
"Itachi, your eyes have no effect on me."
"Haha, then, three against three, let's begin!" Orochimaru laughed heartily.
Itachi felt immense pressure facing Deidara, who possessed the Rinnegan.
Deidara grabbed a large number of small, round balls with both hands and threw them forward. The balls quickly transformed into small spider shapes in mid-air.
"It's so dense, I'll handle it."
Li Yu quickly Hand Seals Shuriken from his ninja tool pouch, and hurled it at the dense group of spiders in front of him.
Shuriken Shadow Clone
The Shuriken in the air immediately multiplied into countless smaller ones, whistling towards the opposite side.
"Drink!" Deidara Hand Seals.
"Boom boom boom"
Even through the smoke, many Shuriken still flew out.
"Thump, thump!" The extra Shuriken were blocked by the wood.
Deidara, contrary to his usual style, actually ran towards Li Yu and his two companions while chewing on clay, looking like a suicide bomber.
Come and experience my art!
Uchiha Itachi was the first to leave to one side, and Deidara, as if locking onto his target, followed after him with a tail whip.
"I hate the Uchiha the most, where do you think you're going?"
This left Li Yu and Namikaze Minato, who were in defensive stances, somewhat embarrassed.
