Outside Madara Uchiha's Base.
Madara looked at the terrified Orochimaru and smiled with interest.
Hahahahahahaha!
Had my grandson disguised himself as me before and scared him?
Now that was interesting.
According to Black Zetsu, this Orochimaru was a powerful figure with quite a reputation in the shinobi world.
He wondered what his grandson had done to frighten him this badly.
"Heh."
At Madara's chuckle, Orochimaru started trembling again.
When Obito smiled, your life hung in the balance!
Orochimaru spoke with a mournful expression.
"Lord Obito, my attack on Konoha wasn't aimed at you!"
"I only wanted to test the strength of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!"
Impure World Reincarnation?
Upon hearing the name of the jutsu Tobirama Senju had created, Madara's first reaction was disgust.
But judging by Orochimaru's tone...
Did Obito know about this, or even tacitly permit this bastard to research Impure World Reincarnation?
Out of curiosity.
Madara instantly slipped into his grandson's role and curled his lips into a mocking smile.
"Oh? Do you think I'll believe what you're saying?"
Orochimaru declared with absolute conviction and sincerity.
"It's true, Lord Obito!"
"And I've never dared forget the task you gave me before."
As he spoke.
Orochimaru slowly pulled open his robes, intending to take something out.
Madara watched with amusement and made no move to stop him.
What a joke. Was he supposed to fear a sneak attack from this junior?
Orochimaru took a scroll from inside his robes and respectfully offered it to Madara.
"Lord Obito, I've fulfilled your orders."
"After overcoming countless difficulties, I created Uchiha Izuna's Summoning Scroll for you."
...Izuna?!
A storm surged through Madara's heart, leaving him momentarily stunned.
Obito wanted to reincarnate Izuna?!
Seeing Madara's shock, Orochimaru was briefly puzzled.
Why was Obito Uchiha... reacting so strongly?
But he didn't dwell
