Orochimaru is currently using a woman's body, but the advantage lies in the high compatibility between their souls; her body is perfectly suited to Orochimaru's soul.
This is why Orochimaru used the same body for many years without changing it. In the original story, Orochimaru's hands were sealed, which caused damage to the body he was using. However, Orochimaru did not change the body unless absolutely necessary, which shows how well the body suited his soul.
When that body reached its limit, Orochimaru had no choice but to switch to Gen'yūmaru's body. However, the rejection of that body was too severe, forcing Orochimaru to turn his attention to Sasuke. But because Gen'yūmaru's body was too weak and he underestimated Sasuke's strength, he was ultimately devoured by Sasuke and cut into several pieces.
This caused Orochimaru to disappear from the Shinobi World for a short period of time, until he was later resurrected from Anko's body.
Naruto sized up Orochimaru. Actually, he had another method he hadn't told Orochimaru: directly possessing White Zetsu's body. That Kaguya was, after all, a product Ōtsutsuki, so its strength was undeniable. But the current White Zetsu...
Since being terrified by Obito last time, he has never appeared again. Even the White Zetsu he planted in Konoha have been recalled. This was somewhat unexpected for Naruto. Could Obito really be afraid?
As soon as Naruto thought of this, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, because he sensed something rapidly approaching Orochimaru's base, and this thing had a rather strong life force. Without even thinking, Naruto already knew who it was.
" Aunt Snake, prepare the barrier; we have guests."
Orochimaru was taken aback when he heard Naruto's words, but he immediately prepared for battle.
Naruto, on the other hand, used Earth Release to quickly determine the direction before diving inside.
That's right, the person who came was White Zetsu. He had received news that Naruto had actually left Konoha and come to Orochimaru's place, and originally wanted to check some information.
But he never expected that Naruto would discover his presence the moment he got close.
"Hey, I found you."
Before White Zetsu arrived, Naruto had already arrived. To prevent White Zetsu from using the Mayfly Technique to escape quickly, Naruto acted decisively.
They immediately initiated a series of control packages.
" Sealing Jutsu: Heavy Sealing of Limbs"
" Sealing Jutsu: Exorcising Demons"
" Genjutsu: The Technique That Is Not Here."
" Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique."
After a series of Ninjutsu, White Zetsu felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by dizziness and paralysis, rendering him unable to move or even circulate his Chakra.
Then Naruto grabbed him by the neck with one hand and threw him in front of Orochimaru.
"Look, Aunt Snake, I feel like you really need this right now."
Orochimaru was somewhat taken aback when he saw the White Zetsu that Naruto had thrown to the ground. Wasn't this his old colleague, the guy who always followed Tobi like a pitcher plant? And wasn't this guy supposed to be half black and half white? Where was the other half?
Meeting Orochimaru's probing gaze, Naruto smiled and explained the matter of Black and White Zetsu. Immediately, Orochimaru's expression turned strange. Were these Black and White Zetsu that interesting?
Orochimaru could certainly sense the powerful life force within White Zetsu. His expression turned somewhat strange; was he going to possess this guy?
Seemingly sensing Orochimaru's concerns, Naruto explained:
"Don't worry, Aunt Snake. This thing isn't that smart. Although they can transmit information remotely, I just cast Genjutsu on him. Right now, he's a lamb to the slaughter. Besides, you might actually find his body useful right now, and you've already felt the life force emanating from him. You might not understand what I mean, but what if I said these White Zetsu are products of a weakened version of the Hashirama Cells?"
Orochimaru was also intrigued when he heard Naruto talk about this, especially the product of the Hashirama Cells. Moreover, after carefully sensing it, Orochimaru realized that what Naruto said was true. This terrifying vitality was truly enviable.
Orochimaru didn't waste any more words and immediately activated the Living Corpse Reincarnation, directly seizing the body of the White Zetsu. The process was incredibly smooth for Orochimaru; he hadn't expected it to be so easy. He had thought the White Zetsu's soul would resist violently, but it was surprisingly effortless.
Naruto watched as White Zetsu slowly transformed into Orochimaru, even his green hair turning into long black hair at a visible speed.
Orochimaru clenched his hands, feeling the power emanating from this body. He never expected such a wondrous creature to exist. When he possessed White Zetsu's body earlier, he felt that White Zetsu's soul was incredibly fragile and could be easily erased by him.
"How are you feeling?"
"Hmm, not bad, much better than I expected."
Naruto smiled. Although White Zetsu's body was excellent, it wasn't suitable for Orochimaru to use for a long time. Moreover, White Zetsu's body had a fatal flaw: it couldn't reproduce. Furthermore, its origins were not minor. If Naruto's guess was correct, it might be the product of Kaguya's first Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Madara Uchiha was completely fooled by Black Zetsu. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the Hashirama Cells were actually products of the Infinite Tsukuyomi from ancient times. Poor Madara Uchiha was kept in the dark, thinking he had created something by accident and feeling smug about it.
As if he had thought of something, Naruto began to look at Orochimaru with a strange expression. If he remembered correctly, the main reason why Black and White Zetsu couldn't reproduce was that they didn't have eggs.
Seemingly noticing Naruto's gaze, Orochimaru looked up and met Naruto's eyes. However, Orochimaru felt a little strange being stared at by Naruto in that way.
Strange, what's wrong with Naruto-kun? Did my Living Corpse Reincarnation fail to work?
Orochimaru examined the area for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong.
In response, Naruto could only helplessly point out Orochimaru's shortcomings.
Looking at the spot Naruto pointed to, Orochimaru immediately pulled down his pants and looked down, only to find it completely empty...
Now Orochimaru finally understood why Naruto had said he might need this body in his current state, and he also understood why he had been asked to research cloning technology. Even without Naruto's prompting, he wouldn't use this White Zetsu body for long; it would only be used as an emergency measure...
Who could stand this? It was like experiencing a painless sterilization...
