In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 533 Orochimaru's Ambush
The particle accelerator, which Shimizu personally planned, was so large that it covered an area comparable to a small town, so it was located dozens of kilometers outside Sunagakure.

In addition, with the development of Sunagakure Village, there was a shortage of land, so Shimizu simply moved the production base of the puppet army here.

Large-scale war golems, golem armor, and a large amount of industrial production are all gathered here, facilitating unified management and resource allocation.

Perhaps over time, both this place and Sunagakure will grow to the point where they need to be merged, becoming like two districts of a large city.

To be precise, there should be three districts, because Sunagakure itself has developed into an inner and outer city as it has grown.

"The three large war golems have been fully assembled and equipped with scorched cores. Excellent. The extra scorched cores only need to be modified to become Dragon Roar Cores and Lightning Cores, which can be combined into an energy matrix. Below the Six Paths level, Scorpion and the others should be able to be easily subdued."

"The new batch of ninja academy students will graduate as genin, and the current total number of ninjas in the village is 19,000."

"List of recommended candidates for this year's Jonin promotion..."

With the New Year over, the achievements of Sunagakure Village have emerged one after another, and Shimizu's affairs have become even busier.

Both ninja villages are making intensive preparations for war.

Although both sides are still exercising restraint, they are also testing each other. All it takes is a trigger for the powder keg to explode.

Now, the time is ripe.

Even without the original body, the three puppets, which are almost invincible below the Six Paths level, are enough to sweep away any level of strength.

Even if something goes wrong, there are still more than a dozen shadow clones hidden in their own underground chamber, each possessing extremely powerful strength.

Furthermore, each of these shadow clones condenses a considerable amount of Yin-Yang power.

If there is a truly intractable problem, all that is needed is to infuse all of these Yin and Yang energies into a single shadow clone, which will then, for a short period of time, possess combat power at least equivalent to the combined strength of the Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke.

Even if Kaguya escapes and is resurrected to her peak condition before her death, there is nothing to fear if the Sage of Six Paths does not intervene.

Furthermore, if there's a situation where things can't be contained, a shadow clone can be sent out to notify the main body to return.

With only one step away from the multiverse level, unless the god of the Otsutsuki descends, Shimizu is truly not afraid of anyone.

However, the outbreak of war unfolded in a way that no one could have predicted.

Just as Sunagakure was secretly mobilizing its troops and preparing to advance, a certain city located on the border between the former Land of Fire and the Land of Grass...

"You mean, just because that Rain Village ninja tried to harass you on the street, you killed all the Rain Village ninjas in this city?"

Shimizu sat in the chair, looking at the three goddesses of Ryuchi Cave standing in a row in front of her with a suspicious look in her eyes.

These three have always considered themselves Shimizu's summoned beasts and have caused quite a bit of trouble, even though Shimizu rarely, if ever, has summoned them on the battlefield.

The three stupid snakes, unfamiliar with the human world, caused quite a few laughs, but since they didn't cause any major trouble and even used their near-Kage-level strength to help other Sand Village ninjas a lot, Shimizu let them be.

But this time, they gave him a big surprise.

Although everyone knew that a battle was about to break out, and Sunagakure had already assembled its troops and was just waiting for him to teleport them out, the three idiot snakes' antics caused Amegakure's army to press towards them, striking first.

It was obvious that Amegakure had already assembled its troops and was just looking for an excuse to launch an attack, so it brazenly sent troops into the country.

That team has now been completely wiped out by Shimizu and the Sand Village, who have taken over this place. All over the ninja world, Amegakure and Sand Village ninjas are engaged in battle.

The fuse for a new Shinobi World War was inexplicably ignited by three snakes.

"This... should be considered flirting."

"Hime Tsuratsu hesitated," she said.

"That's right! It's flirting!"

Princess Tianxin looked certain.

“Those guys weren’t drunk at all. They just saw the three of us in the tavern and immediately tried to lay a hand on us, looking like they were asking for it.”

Princess Ichikishima was filled with righteous indignation.

"Yes, yes, he just wants to die, so let's just grant his wish."

"As a result, all the Rain Villages suddenly appeared!"

"We have no choice but to kill people, but we're not killing your people, so it should be okay, right?"

"It's definitely alright, those are all your enemies, Shimizu-sama! Can you give me a reward? I want something delicious!"

"I want something fun!"

"I want it all!"

Shimizu stared speechlessly at the three chattering, silly snakes, signaling them to quiet down. He then asked a few more questions and, referring to the intelligence gathered by the Sand Village ninja below, made his analysis.

The Rain Village ninja on the other side seemed to be deliberately trying to offend these three snakes in order to start a war and force the Sand Village to be the first to strike.

These three silly snakes have done a lot of work for Sunagakure in their daily lives for delicious food and fun things. Although they are simple-minded, they are quite strong, and other ninja villages can't possibly be unaware of them.

Moreover, since it is considered one's own summoned beast, many people will likely conduct targeted research on its abilities and personality.

Because of their naivety and special status, they are indeed more easily manipulated.

only……

Is Yu Yin trying to lure himself here using these three snakes?

If that's the case, then where does their confidence come from?
After thinking it over carefully, Shimizu gave the three snake princesses some silver and told them to find a place to eat, drink, and have fun on their own. Then he flew into the sky and personally explored the surroundings.

Outside the city, in a very secluded mountain cave.

Several ninjas wearing headbands from Amegakure and Konoha were hiding here, their bodies wrapped in white Zetsu cloaks to conceal their presence.

Nagato stood with his back turned, his aura long and deep, his dazzling red hair bright and lustrous, and his whole body exuding a vigorous life force belonging to the Uzumaki clan.

Orochimaru, standing beside him, had a cold expression and his skin was much paler than before. Two small horns had mysteriously sprouted from his head, making him look very similar to the Otsutsuki clan.

Or rather, he can now be considered a nearly pure-blooded Otsutsuki.

In the corner, Fugaku Uchiha stood with his hands behind his back. He looked very similar to Orochimaru, except that the Mangekyou Sharingan in his pupils had a more complex pattern than before.

Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha, Hyuga, Shikotsumyaku. The bloodlines of the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers were now completely fused into Orochimaru and Fugaku Uchiha through the Kira-no-Ya technique.

Even though these bloodlines cannot compare to previous generations due to the passage of a thousand years, in terms of bloodline, the two of them can still be considered as a mini-Kaguya.

In terms of bloodline, if placed among the Otsutsuki clan, he would probably not be inferior to ordinary Otsutsuki such as Urashiki and Kinshiki.

Looking at the dangerous aura emanating from Orochimaru and Fugaku Uchiha beside him, as well as their strange appearance, Nagato's Rinnegan eyes revealed an unconcealable sense of apprehension.

These two guys have been hiding their tracks for the past few months, they really have a secret! They've suddenly become so powerful.

Furthermore, Nagato was truly curious about the powerful chakra perception ability that remained clear even at a distance of tens of miles.

A strong sense of threat had long been lingering in Nagato's mind.

However, in Sunagakure, under the threat of Shimizu, the two of them still need to work together, so now is naturally not the time to fall out.

not to mention……

Nagato shifted his gaze to the middle-aged, green-skinned man behind Orochimaru, who was intently doing push-ups on the ground, and said:

"Is the power of the Eight Gates really as great as you say?"

“Nagato-kun, you can wait and see. If it doesn’t work, our current strength is at least enough to withstand the Fourth Kazekage. Even if Dai’s attack can’t kill the Fourth Kazekage, I think it’s not a problem to seriously injure him. If he tries to escape using space-time ninjutsu, I can easily see through it.”

Orochimaru smiled easily, then opened and closed his eyes, which shone brightly.

One is a scarlet Sharingan with three tomoe rotating, while the other is a pure, transparent eye emitting a faint white light.

Its pupils are blue inside and white outside, with the whites of its eyes being jet black, making them appear even brighter. It looks quite similar to the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

"Your eye..."

Nagato stared at Orochimaru with his Rinnegan eyes and hesitated.

He could sense the power of the pupil in that eye.

Although the Rinnegan's power is stronger, the power in this eye is quite unique.

"It is called the Pure Eye, an eye that can see through everything, even the trajectory of changes in space and time."

Orochimaru said confidently.

He had not anticipated the appearance of the Pure Eye.

It turns out that Senju Uzumaki's bloodline, combined with the Byakugan, can actually serve as this new and miraculous bloodline limit!
After studying it with Tobirama Senju, they were pleasantly surprised to discover that the Byakugan not only possessed the Byakugan's ability to see through chakra pathways and see through chakra paths, but could also see space and time.

This became Orochimaru's trump card, giving him the confidence to deal with Shimizu.

The other two trump cards are Might Guy, who is still warming up with high knees, and the upright coffin behind him.

With the addition of Fugaku Uchiha, who also possesses five bloodlines, and Nagato, who has the Rinnegan and can manipulate the Gedo Mazo, Orochimaru was confident that he could put up a fight with Shimizu, and it was even possible that he could seal him away.

Every combat unit here is far stronger than the original Edo Tensei Hashirama and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

This is the strongest lineup they could assemble!
The first enemy to be dealt with is the Fourth Kazekage, Shimizu, who is also the most mobile!
While top puppeteers like Sasori and Ebizo, who can control giant scorpion-shaped puppets, are certainly very strong, Orochimaru and his group are now confident that they can defeat them.

However, if we take action against them, it's very likely that we'll attract Qing Shui, who has spacetime abilities, which would be very troublesome.

It would be better to lure Qingshui out with a plan first, and then surround and kill him when he has no help.

He's here!

Fugaku Uchiha and Orochimaru suddenly turned their heads at the same time and looked up into the distance.

They now all possess the Kagura Mind's Eye of the Uzumaki clan.

In the distance, Shimizu paused slightly, sensing a chakra fluctuation locking onto her. She then turned her gaze toward the location from which the fluctuation originated.

Inside the cave below.

Orochimaru clapped his hands, and the upright wooden coffin opened, revealing a figure clad in red armor, exuding an aura of domineering arrogance.

Madara Uchiha glanced at the Rinnegan in Nagato's eyes, then at Fugaku Uchiha and Orochimaru, who had changed drastically. His face was gloomy, but he did not speak.

Fugaku Uchiha seems to have broken free from Orochimaru's control under his influence, remaining somewhat detached. Even Fugaku himself is controlled by Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation.

When he was first resurrected by Orochimaru using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he did consider reversing the hand seals to break free from control, but he didn't expect that Orochimaru had already modified the Impure World Reincarnation technique, even changing the order of the hand seals.

Although he could try to forcefully break free from the control, Orochimaru was not weak, and he was currently unable to break free from Orochimaru's chakra control.

Fortunately, Nagato's Rinnegan is still intact, and Black Zetsu is still alive, so there is still a chance to turn the tide!
As a matter of its own will, Black Zetsu could never betray itself!
Therefore, the contingency plans left behind during one's lifetime can still be used in critical moments.

As long as Black Zetsu makes a move and Nagato uses Rinne Rebirth to revive him and reclaim the Rinnegan, he will still have a chance to fight back!
However, Orochimaru and his group have somehow acquired such strength, and the threat they pose to him is now approaching that of Hashirama Senju when he used Sage Mode.

Even with his confidence in his own strength, Madara Uchiha was not certain that he could take on two opponents at once.

So let them fight the Fourth Kazekage to a draw first, then Madara Uchiha will seize the opportunity to capture all the tailed beasts, completely revive the Ten-Tails, and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

The thought flashed rapidly through Madara Uchiha's mind, and Orochimaru hurriedly spoke up:

"According to the plan, we will suppress the Fourth Kazekage, or at least stall him to create an opportunity for Dai."

If we fail to kill him, we must have severely injured him. We must seal him away before he recovers!

"Now, let's do it!"

In the next instant, a towering pillar of fire appeared, striking the clear water in the sky.

"Ok?"

He activated his spatial power and teleported away, only to see a mix of wooden and bone spurs flying towards him.

Could the attackers see through the patterns of spatial changes?
With a hint of surprise, Shimizu instantly conjured a magical shield around himself, blocking the attacks.

The earth trembled, and a crimson Susanoo giant engulfed in flames rose from the ground. The previous pillar of fire had now transformed into a large spear, which the Susanoo giant held in his hand.

Complete Susanoo!
The combined power of multiple Otsutsuki bloodlines allowed Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan to leap forward dramatically. Not only could it recover quickly, but its quality also increased rapidly, enabling him to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan even without fusing with other Mangekyou Sharingan powers of the same origin.
