Yuhi Kurenai looked nervous and quickly unrolled the scroll in her hand, rapidly Hand Seals.
" Evil Sealing Method!"
The chakra within the Silent Blood Armor flowed rapidly toward the Curse Mark on Anko's body. In a short moment, a white snake emerged from her neck and landed inside the sealing barrier.
The next second, the snake's snout opened, and a middle-aged man with waist-length hair and a cold, aloof appearance emerged from the white snake.
"Cough cough, hehehehe... I never expected that the one who would finally release me would be you, my disciple Anko!"
Anko looked disgusted and quickly activated her Silent Blood Armor to maintain the seal, her tone utterly ruthless.
"Don't give me that, Orochimaru. We know you have a way to summon the First Hokage to the Fourth Hokage into reality using your Impure World Reincarnation."
"If you make contributions in the Fourth Great Ninja War, you may be able to gain a certain degree of freedom under surveillance. If you dare to refuse, Uchiha Huayue will erase all the resurrection methods you have set up in the Ninja World."
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's smile gradually faded. He looked down at his hands and noticed the special Curse Mark covering his body.
"Sigh, once you have a man, you forget all the earnest teachings your teacher gave you. This is what they call the ' Silent Blood Armor,' and that guy's talent is truly beyond imagination..."
"Enough with the nonsense! Quickly summon the four Hokage! If it weren't for the things you left for Black Zetsu and those damned laboratories, how could Uchiha Madara have been summoned!"
Anko blushed and couldn't help but shout at Orochimaru, who responded with two chuckles and a cold glint in his eyes.
"What did you say? That Black Zetsu guy raided my lab, he actually dared to do that..."
Although Orochimaru wavered on the moral bottom line of being a researcher, he cherished those precious research data extremely.
Right now, Black Zetsu disturbed his laboratory, but also taken away the specimen of Uchiha Madara that he had painstakingly retrieved from Konoha, which is tantamount to provoking his dignity as a researcher.
Before Anko could urge her further, a powerful chakra surged from the Land of Snow into Konoha. Even those present who were not sensory ninjas could clearly feel the terror of that chakra.
"Alright, I'll use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon the four Hokage to the battlefield and turn the tide of the war. But I have a question: Where is Uchiha Huayue now?"
The two women exchanged a glance and shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they did not know.
"That mysterious young man... I really want to know what direction his research on Immortality Technique is heading..."
With a low grumble, Orochimaru put on the Shinigami mask in front of him, his gaze falling on the five White Zetsu who were already bound hand and foot, and sighed.
"Unexpectedly, after my death, the person who understands me best in this world is still the disciple I always regarded as my successor, the Reaper Death Seal - Release!"
The primitive and simple dance, a sacrifice to the god of Shinigami Orochimaru Orochimaru.
In a short moment, the phantom of the Shinigami Reaper appeared behind Orochimaru, stabbing his abdomen with a short dagger, tearing a rift in his soul.
In an instant, a long snake slithered into the body of the White Zetsu that had been prepared beforehand.
After the appearance of the four scrolls recording genetic information, White Zetsu was gradually replaced by Orochimaru's face, and his hands Hand Seals.
" Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation!"
Dust from the Pure Land gradually covered the bodies of the four White Zetsu, transforming them into figures that should have been sleeping in the Pure Land.
The First to the Fourth Hokage slowly opened their eyes...
Meanwhile, on the battlefield of the Land of Snow, Nagato felt a jolt, as if an unknown force was controlling his body from his heart.
" Nagato, you've really worked hard. After Obito was killed by that brat, you've managed to hold on until now. Now, I'll take your place and restore this world to its original state."
With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, less than a second had passed in the outside world. Nagato, whose eyes had been blinded by hatred, instinctively met Madara's gaze.
The same eyes, for some reason, sent a chill down Nagato, making him feel utterly incredulous.
"Could it be...?"
"That's right, your eyes, your life, your hatred for Konoha and the Ninja World —it was all part of my secret plan!"
In the distance, Naruto and Sasuke looked grim. Their sense of Natural Energy allowed them to perceive a tremendous change occurring within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
"What exactly is going on? Infighting? What is Uchiha Madara saying?"
Ōnoki gazed into the distance, but the intense malice emanating from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the slowly opening ninth eye drew everyone's attention to it.
"Who knows? It's definitely not a good thing. Let's take care of that big guy before he completes his transformation!"
The Fourth Raikage roared, his body enveloped in Lightning Release Chakra Armor, and charged forward at the forefront.
"Wait! The Fourth Raikage, the area around that guy..."
whoosh whoosh...
The roar of fire was deafening, Kuma crimson flames soared into the sky, isolating the area within several miles of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
" Uchiha Flame Formation! Don't bother me, you rabble, until I can fully enjoy this exhilarating feeling."
After speaking, Uchiha Madara turned his gaze and said loudly, completely dispelling the doubts that had been lingering in Nagato's mind.
"What makes you think those eyes are really yours? The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, those Rinnegan, can only unleash their true power after the Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened and two completely opposite powers are combined into one!"
"The predecessor of the Uchiha was a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths and the possessor of the Sage's Eye."
At this moment, Nagato's mind wandered, and his face turned extremely ugly.
"Could it be that these eyes...?"
"For my resurrection, these eyes must be entrusted to a master who can bear the Rinnegan. A person with the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan is the most suitable candidate."
"Although another backup planner died in an accident, fortunately the plan hasn't gone too far astray. Heretical Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"
In an instant, all the dust and debris were stripped away, and the Naraka Path that appeared behind Nagato opened its maw, a touch of emerald green merging into his body.
Steam boiled all over his body, the cold dust gradually peeled away, and hot blood surged from his veins.
"Hahahaha! This is passion! This is the feeling of my blood boiling!!!"
The next moment, the dust in my eyes peeled away, and the illusion simulated from the Impure World Reincarnation could not survive in a vibrant life.
Pfft!
Nagato's eyes appeared in the void. After the White Zetsu silently offered up two Rinnegan, his body was suddenly torn apart by Madara, who then attached a piece of flesh to the chest and abdomen that had been prepared beforehand.
hiss hiss hiss...
White smoke rose, and just as Madara was about to get up, ripples appeared in the space, dragging Nagato's still-warm corpse into the ripples.
"Who are you...?"
"During that time, when I was immersed in darkness, you really took care of me, Madara!"
