Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Moreover, after Tobirama's death, Nawaki also died young. Apart from the Senju clan members who had already integrated into Konoha and whose bloodline had been diluted to an unknown extent, only Tsunade remained as their sole heir.

From this perspective, the Uchiha clan actually had the best outcome among these three clans, as they at least had Obito, Itachi, and Sasuke, plus Madara Uchiha, who is currently in the fountain.

The legend of the Five Villages' Melee is no exaggeration.

Now, the strongest Chika has emerged. Even if all the ninjas were tied up, they might not be enough to defeat him. If he wanted to, he could revive the Uchiha clan at any time.

The small white snake at Chiga's waist poked its head out and spoke.

"Lord Chiga, the Grim Reaper mask should be inside this shrine. Let's go in!"

Chika nodded, casually tossed the small white snake from her waist, and said calmly,

"You should transform into human form first, so as to avoid trouble later."

The small white snake wriggled on the ground, and soon Orochimaru appeared in front of Chiga, soaking wet, and even stuck out his tongue to lick his lips.

Chika frowned and muttered a complaint.

"Can't you act like a human being?"

After saying that, Chiga walked into the shrine. Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then quickly stuck out his tongue and followed Chiga.

As soon as Orochimaru entered the shrine, he began to search around, and eventually he actually found a hidden door and opened the secret room inside the shrine.

Upon entering the secret room, Chiga immediately spotted the Grim Reaper mask hanging on the wall. He gave Orochimaru a look, and Orochimaru promptly stepped forward, took off the mask, and put it on his face.

After putting on the Grim Reaper mask, Orochimaru began to perform a bizarre dance, which looked like a shamanistic ritual.

As Orochimaru danced, a blurry white phantom appeared above him; this was the so-called Shinigami (Death God) in the Naruto world.

As soon as the Grim Reaper appeared, Orochimaru immediately cut open his own stomach. Normally, the Grim Reaper should have done the same, but he did not. He just stared intently at Chiga, completely ignoring Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was stunned. He stared at his abdomen, which was gushing blood, and didn't know what to do.

He's been stuck with Death God G his whole life, but today he's really messed up, and the worst part is he doesn't even know what happened.

Chiga looked up and met Death's gaze; an eerie atmosphere filled the small, secret room.

Orochimaru, however, was about to give out. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a large snake with a human face emerged from it, landing next to Chiga.

He lay sprawled on the ground, looking at Qianhe with a surprised expression, and said...

"I'm so sorry, Lord Senga, it seems some kind of accident has occurred, and I'm unable to release the Fourth Hokage's soul!"

Chiga nodded and said,

"It's alright, your task is complete, there's nothing more for you to do now."

Having said that, Chika took a step forward, gazing at the Grim Reaper floating in the air, and said coldly,

"You're being a bit ungrateful!"

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, wondering if Chiga was talking to the Grim Reaper? Could the Grim Reaper also have consciousness?

However, what happened next completely overturned his understanding.

Then, Death opened its mouth and let out a sinister laugh.

"Hehehehe! Human, your soul looks quite delicious!"

He had never seen a human with such powerful soul force, stronger than all the souls he had ever devoured combined!

Chiga narrowed his eyes, and then, black ripples spread out from his eyes as he activated the Rinnegan.

The unique pressure of the Rinnegan erupted, and the phantom of the Shinigami was gradually blurred under this pressure. His expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock.

"How is this possible? How could you have these eyes!?"

Then, the phantom of Death flickered, as if it were trying to run away.

Chiga naturally wouldn't let him go. A bone-chilling, icy aura emanated from Chiga's body, transforming into a long serpent that coiled around the phantom of death, instantly freezing him into an ice sculpture.

The Grim Reaper's face still bore the mark of terror, just like Orochimaru's; he too was too frightened to even breathe.

He'd really seen something new today. He was just messing around with Kakashi, the Grim Reaper, but Chika was practically robbing him!

Chiga raised his hand and pulled the Grim Reaper, who had turned into an ice sculpture, towards him. Then he punched into the Grim Reaper's abdomen and pulled out a ball of blue energy.

Orochimaru, seeing this, quickly shouted,

"Lord Chiga, my hands are also inside the Grim Reaper's belly, could you...?"

Orochimaru's face showed a very humble pleading look. Chiga glanced at him, but in the end, she still helped him take out his "hands".

Orochimaru was overjoyed and immediately transformed into human form to catch his "hands".

Although he can use his hands through the Reincarnation technique, his incomplete soul still greatly limits his strength, and he cannot use many forbidden techniques.

In the anime, he was only able to use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive the Hokage after regaining his "hands".

After extracting the soul, a purple light flashed in Chiga's Rinnegan eyes, and the ice sculpture formed by the Shinigami exploded and completely dissipated into the air.

Orochimaru couldn't help but ask,

"Lord Chiga, has the Grim Reaper been defeated?"

Chika shook her head and said,

"No, this guy was just severely injured and it will be difficult for him to reappear in the future."

Upon hearing this news, Orochimaru almost blurted it out.

"Does that mean I can't use my Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

"Hmm? What do you intend to do with the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

"Um, I'm just a little disappointed..."

Chiga stared intently into Orochimaru's eyes. Orochimaru, unable to withstand the pressure of the Rinnegan, immediately prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Chiga didn't continue to scare Orochimaru. He closed his Rinnegan and said calmly,

"In the face of the Rinnegan, the Impure World Reincarnation technique is utterly insignificant."

Chapter 317 Orochimaru is convinced

Today, a large crowd gathered below the Hokage Rock, including both ninjas and civilians, all looking up at the newly added head statue above.

And the image on that portrait is Chiga.

Tsunade and the other Konoha high-ranking officials stood at the front of the crowd. Their expressions were complicated. They wanted to leave, but Chiga had already given them orders that they all had to be present today. Anyone who disobeyed would die!

Sasuke and Naruto were also standing in the crowd. Sasuke stared blankly at Chiga's portrait above.

Since learning the truth, Sasuke has felt much lighter. The main reason he was so obsessed with revenge was that he felt Itachi had deceived him and that Itachi's kindness towards him was all an illusion.

But now he knows Itachi's predicament back then. The condition Itachi made to the Konoha leadership was to spare his younger brother's life!

Therefore, his obsession with revenge has lessened; what he wants most now is to find Itachi and make him tell the truth about what happened back then.

Sasuke was mentally calculating how to find Itachi, while Naruto excitedly shouted from the side.

"Senpai Chiga actually became Hokage! I need to work harder too!"

Sasuke glanced at him and casually remarked,

"With your current strength, you think you can become Hokage? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Hmph! What do you know? Do you even know what kind of relationship I have with Senior Qianhe?"

"What kind of relationship could it be? We're from the same clan. Are you his son? And where's your Sharingan?"

Just as the two were flirting, suddenly, accompanied by a thunderous roar, Chika appeared in everyone's sight. Today, he was wearing a white divine robe with five bright red characters on his back: Sixth Hokage.

He looked up and admired his own profile picture for a while, then commented...

"The carving is quite good."

Then, he turned to face the crowd and said loudly,

"Today marks the day I, Uchiha Chika, officially assume the position of Hokage. I have a few things to announce."

Unlike the inauguration ceremonies of previous Hokage, Chiga's ceremony this time seemed somewhat hasty, leaving the people of Konoha looking bewildered and almost no one responding.

However, Chiga didn't care about any of that. He snapped his fingers, and Orochimaru appeared out of nowhere and stood beside him.

Orochimaru's expression was extremely respectful. He bowed slightly to Chiga and said,

"Lord Hokage!"

Tsunade immediately stepped forward upon seeing Orochimaru and angrily questioned him.

"Orochimaru! Why are you here?!"

Orochimaru didn't even turn his head, and said calmly,

"I am the Hokage's most loyal subordinate, why can't I come?"

"What? Loyalty? Are you kidding me?"

Tsunade's mind was racing. Orochimaru was loyal? Then wouldn't Danzo be a sunny, cheerful guy?

In her opinion, Orochimaru was simply beaten up by Chiga and had no choice but to temporarily submit to someone else; who knows what kind of bad intentions he might be harboring.

However, Tsunade truly misjudged Orochimaru this time, and she was genuinely impressed.

At the Uzumaki clan's shrine, Orochimaru witnessed Chiga severely injuring a Shinigami, and he could no longer muster any resistance against Chiga.

He had already concluded that Chiga was the undisputed strongest ninja in the world today. Now that Chiga had become Hokage, he was very curious about how far Konoha would develop under Chiga's leadership.

Of course, the most important point is that Chiga once said,

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique is nothing compared to the Rinnegan."

Orochimaru's main reason for turning evil was the death of Nawaki. He saw the fragility of life, so he began to devote himself to studying forbidden techniques, especially those that could transcend life and death.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique was one of the forbidden techniques he most admired. In his view, this technique had great potential, and apart from the fact that it could not unleash 100% of the deceased's power in life, it was practically perfect.

However, such a technique was "not worth mentioning" in Chiga's eyes, which was a big blow to Orochimaru. Combining this with what Chiga had asked him to do, he vaguely guessed that Chiga also wanted to resurrect the dead.

So even though Chiga gave him his freedom, he still eagerly followed Chiga back to Konoha, wanting to see if Chiga had a more perfect technique than the Impure World Reincarnation.

Chiga looked at Orochimaru, who was displaying a humble demeanor, and said calmly,

"Alright, where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
