Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 100 Orochimaru's Analysis, Izayoi's True Side

"Hehe... The Sound Four and Kimimaro have indeed become your stepping stones."

Seeing Izayoi appear before him, Orochimaru didn't panic. Instead, he let out a hoarse laugh. On his bandaged face, his yellow vertical pupils were filled with heat and greed. He said, "I guessed you were a descendant of Uzumaki or Senju whose bloodline was awakened in the previous generation. I didn't expect you to be even better than I thought. Not only do you have a ninjutsu talent that's not inferior to the Second Hokage, but you've also awakened the First Hokage's bloodline limit."

"What's even more surprising is that you clearly awakened Wood Release long ago, yet you knew how to hide it. After Tsunade took over, you immediately seized this opportunity and quickly became Konoha's hope... This is more than just precocity and cunning. I imagine that in addition to your Senju bloodline, you're also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, awakened the Kagura Mind's Eye, and witnessed much of Konoha's darkness firsthand."

Orochimaru's tone was full of affirmation in the last sentence.

Orochimaru, who had planted many spies in Konoha, easily obtained more detailed information about Izayoi.

The first six years of his life were mediocre, but the next six years he was inseparable from the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan. He was a Minato-style civilian genius.

I thought he pursued the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan in order to climb up the Hyuga clan's ladder and complete a class transition.

Unexpectedly, all this was just his disguise.

He had awakened Wood Release a long time ago and knew that he was special, but he refrained from exposing or showing off. Instead, he kept a low profile and waited until his strength reached the ace combat level before slowly revealing his talent.

Only after his clansmen became Hokage and could serve as his backers did he reveal his true cards.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to expose Wood Release at this time. He should have used Wood Release to subdue the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of the Sand Village during the Chunin Exam.

That is the most suitable stage.

Orochimaru, who understood all this, had a much higher opinion of Izayoi than Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake. Even when he was younger, he was not even qualified to carry their shoes.

Without waiting for Izayoi to speak, Orochimaru smiled and said his guess: "You came to me alone to take off my head and pave the way for yourself to become the Sixth Hokage?"

Izayoi didn't know that in Orochimaru's eyes, he had become a very scheming and calculating guy.

After listening to Orochimaru's analysis, Izayoi couldn't help but applaud, praising him sincerely: "As expected of Lord Orochimaru, with just such a small amount of information, he guessed that I have both the Senju and Uzumaki bloodlines."

whoosh-

At this moment, a shadow appeared behind Izayoi, and the green light was so dazzling in the dim room.

"Lord Orochimaru, run!"

Kabuto Yakushi's voice rang out, and the chakra scalpel in his hand went straight to the back of Izayoi's neck.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how terrifying a Wood Release ninja who didn't need to make hand seals was.

Izayoi was motionless, but suddenly there was a wriggling behind him, and then several wooden vines stretched out, like octopus tentacles, binding up Kabuto Yakushi's limbs and body.

Blue chakra immediately flowed along the wooden vines towards Izayoi's body.

Seeing this scene, Orochimaru's face suddenly became enthusiastic and he said, "Absorbing chakra, it really is the orthodox Wood Release!"

Wood Release is an all-powerful bloodline limit.

Not only does it have both offensive and defensive capabilities, it also has scene-based moves with an exaggerated range, as well as the ability to fly, hide, and seal.

But this is just the world's perception.

Only the old monsters from the first generation, the high-ranking officials of Konoha, and Orochimaru who had done experiments with Wood Release knew that the most powerful ability of Wood Release was actually chakra absorption.

Once entangled by branches, the chakra will be quickly absorbed and become nutrients that help the tree grow stronger and increase its resilience.

The greater the enemy's chakra, the more powerful the Wood Release will be.

When fighting against a Wood Release ninja, you become weaker and weaker, while the opponent becomes stronger and stronger. How can you possibly win?
This is why the tailed beasts became the playthings of the first Hokage.

Seeing that Izayoi's Wood Release also had the ability to absorb chakra, Orochimaru immediately confirmed that the other party was definitely not an experimental subject created by Konoha, but a true descendant of the Senju.

At this moment, in Orochimaru's eyes, Izayoi became a more perfect reincarnation vessel than Uchiha Sasuke.

If he could take over Izayoi's body, with his knowledge, Izayoi's talent and bloodline limit, Orochimaru would not be afraid of Uchiha Itachi, let alone the leader of Akatsuki who possessed the Rinnegan.

However, Orochimaru also knew that with his current strength, he could never be a match for Izayoi.

But fortunately, he still has a backup plan.

Orochimaru quickly calmed down and looked at Izayoi, who had easily subdued Kabuto Yakushi without moving a muscle. He smiled and said, "Izayoi-kun, Kabuto is just eager to protect his master and doesn't have any ill intentions. My body is on the verge of collapse and it seems I can't be reincarnated. How about we make a deal? I'll give you my head and you'll spare Kabuto's life."

"Lord Orochimaru..." Kabuto Yakushi widened his eyes and shed tears of emotion, his acting skills were superb.

If I didn't know why Orochimaru was not afraid of death, Izayoi would have really been fooled by these two guys.

After quickly draining Kabuto Yakushi's chakra and controlling the wooden vines to tie him up like a dumpling, Izayoi was just about to speak.

Another afterimage appeared out of thin air beside him, it was Uchiha Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun..."

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke who appeared out of nowhere with three-magatama Sharingan eyes, Orochimaru was slightly stunned, and then his eyes became hot again.

The simultaneous appearance of two perfect reincarnation containers before Orochimaru's eyes was no less shocking than throwing two unconscious naked beauties in front of a lustful ghost.

If he hadn't lost all his ninjutsu and his body was on the verge of collapse, unable to exert even one tenth of his strength, even if Izayoi was a Wood Release ninja and Uchiha Sasuke had evolved his Genjutsu Eye, Orochimaru would have taken a gamble.

"What a disgusting look..."

Noticing Orochimaru's gaze, Uchiha Sasuke got goosebumps all over his body and said with disgust: "Is this guy really trustworthy?"

"Don't worry, Lord Orochimaru is still very trustworthy." Izayoi said with a smile.

Hearing this conversation, Orochimaru's eyes flashed instantly and he smiled: "It seems that Izayoi-kun is not here to kill me."

"I never said I was here to kill you, Lord Orochimaru." Izayoi said with a smile, "Although I don't know why you have such thoughts, you should be very clear that Wood Release has already paved the way for me. Your brain is at most the icing on the cake."

"Haha...that's true." Orochimaru nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "So, you brought Sasuke-kun to see me, is there anything you need my help with?"

"Yes, I'm here to make a deal with Lord Orochimaru."

Izayoi nodded, then took out two scrolls from his body and handed them to the second pillar next to him.

Uchiha Sasuke understood instantly, took the scroll, opened it, made hand seals and took out the things inside.

With two bangs, as the smoke dissipated, a White Zetsu clone and a metal safe suddenly appeared.

Orochimaru's gaze focused on the White Zetsu clone, and he said in surprise, "This is... Zetsu!"

"It seems Orochimaru-sama also knows about this creature. Is it called Zetsu?" Izayoi pretended not to understand and said, "This guy has a very special ability. He can blend into the earth and plants. If I didn't have Wood Release and he was hiding in the dark and spying on me, I wouldn't be able to find him."

"Hehe... This is the clone of a member of Akatsuki named Zetsu." Orochimaru came back to his senses and smiled at Uchiha Sasuke, "Akatsuki is the mercenary organization that Uchiha Itachi joined after his defection."

Uchiha Sasuke's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he remembered the name of this organization. "This guy's body is a bit special. It's my gift to Lord Orochimaru."

Izayoi squatted down, pried open the mouth of the White Zetsu clone, and smiled at Orochimaru, "Your Excellency Orochimaru, your current body will probably completely collapse in a few days. Do you want to reincarnate into this body in advance?"

"..."

Orochimaru fell silent.

But looking at the smiling Izayoi, he knew he had no choice.

Then, the bandage on Orochimaru's face broke instantly, he opened his bloody mouth, spit out a huge white phosphorus snake, and rushed towards Izayoi and Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Izayoi opened the White Zetsu clone's mouth wider, but his smile did not diminish.

After its yellow vertical pupils quickly glanced at Izayoi and Uchiha Sasuke, the white phosphorus snake finally obediently crawled into the mouth of the White Zetsu clone.

Immediately, the body of White Zetsu's clone squirmed, and its skin turned into human skin color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and clothes appeared out of thin air.

After a while, the White Zetsu clone turned into the appearance of Orochimaru.

"This body..."

Orochimaru, who had successfully reincarnated, slowly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.

No one except Izayoi knew how Orochimaru felt right now.

As I said, there is no perfect ninjutsu in this world.

Even if the corpse is not reincarnated, its weaknesses are very obvious.

When fighting for the body with the container, the container will usually resist. At this time, Orochimaru needs to fight with it in the mental space, and both the spirit and soul will be weakened.

Even if the container does not resist, Orochimaru will fall into a period of weakness after the reincarnation is successful, which is because the soul is adapting to the new body.

But now, Orochimaru has no side effects at all.

Neither the mind nor the soul became weaker, and the soul did not need to adapt to the new body, as if... this corpse was Orochimaru's original body before he learned the art of reincarnation.

What is even more incredible is that this body is just a clone.

There is a big secret on Jue!
Orochimaru realized this instantly and couldn't help but stick out his tongue with a playful smile.

As expected of an organization that possesses the Eyes of Immortal, it seems that there are still many unknown secrets.

At this moment, Izayoi's laughter reached my ears.

"It seems that Lord Orochimaru likes this body very much."

Turning around and looking at Izayoi, who was calm and composed, or more accurately, didn't even take him seriously, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly before laughing hoarsely, "Haha... I really like this gift from Izayoi-kun. So... what kind of deal do you want to make?"

And what Izayoi said next made Orochimaru lose control of his emotions instantly.

"Does Lord Orochimaru wish to release the Shiki Fuujin?"

"call……"

Orochimaru breathed rapidly and asked, "Do you know the solution, Izayoi-kun?"

"I didn't know it originally, but not long ago I found a member of the Uzumaki clan, and then I found out." Izayoi lied without blinking, "Shiki Fuujin is the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. It sacrifices one's own soul and summons the god of death to seal the target's soul. It's an ultimate one-for-one forbidden technique."

"What's the solution?" Orochimaru asked hurriedly.

"The solution is to find the legendary Death Mask, have someone sacrifice themselves to summon the Death God, sacrifice their own soul, and retrieve the soul inside the Death God's stomach." Izayoi hooked Orochimaru into a black carp, spread his hands and smiled, "As for where the Death Mask is, I don't know."

"I see……"

Orochimaru suddenly understood and was half-believing and half-doubting.

However, Izayoi's words gave him a direction.

Next, we just need to investigate the secrets of the Uzumaki clan to find out whether it is true or not.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru felt better and couldn't help but smile: "This information is very important. What do you need me to do for you, Izayoi-kun?"

"I want something, and... help me perform surgery on Sasuke."

Izayoi entered the password and opened the metal password box.

"This is... Hashirama's cells!"

Orochimaru recognized it at a glance, subconsciously ignoring the previous words, and looked at Izayoi meaningfully: "If I remember correctly, most of these things are in Danzo's hands, right? Wasn't that guy killed by the leader of the Akatsuki organization? Izayoi-kun, do you really not know Zetsu?"

"I don't know. I found this in the Hokage Building." Izayoi lied without blinking and smiled, "Thanks to that guy with the Rinnegan, if he hadn't destroyed the perception barrier of the Hokage Building and caused a commotion inside, I wouldn't have been able to sneak in and get the Wood Release Ninjutsu scroll and this thing."

"I see."

Orochimaru suddenly realized again and finally understood why Izayoi, the genius who awakened in another generation, descended into the Wood Release: Tree World.

It's not inherited, but stolen by sneaking into the forbidden technique library.

Uchiha Sasuke understood even more clearly where Izayoi had gotten those illusion scrolls, fire escape scrolls, and forbidden techniques like the Darkness Walking Technique.

Looking at Hashirama's cells, and then at Uchiha Sasuke who possessed the three-magatama Sharingan, Orochimaru smiled and said, "It seems that Izayoi-kun knows a lot."

"Yes, so don't do anything tricky." Izayoi showed a gentle smile and said something that made Uchiha Sasuke feel safe. "If I find out that you are doing anything tricky, I will kill you all."

Although there was no chakra explosion, Izayoi's words made this room built underground, which was already cold and dim due to the dim light, become even colder in an instant.

Especially Yakushi Kabuto, who was killed instantly, couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

Even in front of Hatake Kakashi and Tsunade, he was able to remain confident.

Orochimaru also felt a strong sense of oppression.

He had only felt this kind of oppressive feeling from Uchiha Itachi and Tendo Pain.

This little brat has really grown up.

But on the surface, he also showed a gentle smile and nodded, "No problem, it's just a small matter."
