After saying that, he turned his head to look at the smaller figure behind him. Kimimaro nodded slightly and knelt on one knee.
"I will never disappoint you, my lord!"
Looking at Kimimaro like this, Mingye was actually quite reluctant. With rigorous training, Kimimaro's abilities would definitely surpass those from the original story. But this double layer of insurance was also a trap he had to set for Orochimaru. After all, even Orochimaru would never casually let anyone see a jutsu like Impure World Reincarnation. Since Mingye could not decipher Impure World Reincarnation, he could only use this method to steal Orochimaru's last remaining valuable treasure. Fortunately, the process was not particularly difficult. Both Kabuto and Kimimaro were already in his grasp now; all that remained was for Orochimaru to jump into the pit himself.
"In roughly two or three years, Orochimaru will appear here. What you need to do is sincerely treat him as your master. You must be willing to do anything for him, even lay down your life. I have also planted Bloodline Disease within your body, an illness that appears to be incurable. Orochimaru may use you, but he will never kill or harm you. Wait. Just like a seed falling into the soil, it needs time to sprout and grow. When the fruit ripens, you will return to the clan and continue shouldering the burden of becoming the next clan head of the Kaguya Clan!"
After he spoke, two figures flashed into view one after another and knelt before Mingye. Kimimaro stood again, bowed to Mingye, then disappeared into the mist with the two of them.
"Everything is under control. It seems I can put down another burden now."
Mingye turned and vanished from the spot in an instant. The final battle was drawing nearer
