It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

She had been carefully controlling her strength, afraid of killing the rascal, but it seems she had underestimated it...

With the powerful sensory abilities of Sage Mode, Zhi Xue quickly found Orochimaru, who was still on the run, and followed her trail, transforming into a streak of cyan light and flying into the sky.

Not long after, the Konoha troops who had finished dealing with the Sand Ninja arrived. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shisui were also there, and they were somewhat troubled by the sight of the devastated land and the Chunin Exams arena flying high in the sky.

"Orochimaru really knows how to cause me trouble..."

Twenty kilometers north of Konoha, in a deep pool, Orochimaru was sucked up by Shisue using the Universal Pull.

Feeling completely paralyzed, Orochimaru looked at Shiki, who was radiating a blue light, and a deep fear was reflected in his pupils.

"You...who are you?"

Orochimaru's fear level +300...

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want to ask you for a favor after we've sparred." Zhi Xue waved her hand to disperse the thick Sage Chakra surrounding her, and Orochimaru's pupils widened in shock when he saw the Mangekyou Sharingan with its pair of clover shuriken.

Orochimaru's fear level +400...

Orochimaru's fear level +400...

Orochimaru's fear level +400...

Chapter 225, The Impure World Reincarnation Technique

In a cave ten kilometers away from Konoha, Ayaka asked the shadow clone beside her.

"Senior Xu Tong will be alright, right?"

Hearing the worry in Ziyanghua's voice, the shadow clone shook his hand.

"Don't worry, with her strength, there aren't many people in this world who can counter her. Orochimaru, as a rogue ninja of Akatsuki, should be able to capture her quickly. Once she returns to take care of the aftermath, everything will be alright."

Hearing the shadow clone calmly lying on the straw reading comics, Hydrangea breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems Senior Void Eyes is indeed very confident. However, this attack on Konoha by the Sand Village is truly unexpected. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong...

While the hydrangea was still praying for the snow to stop in the cave, Orochimaru heard the snow-stopping request and his mood calmed down considerably.

"If I were to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique on figures from previous generations, I'm afraid I'd need a lot of materials... Why don't you let me go, and we can discuss the details another day when I've prepared them..."

“No need. I’ll give you the cells from the Golden Horn and Silver Horn soon, but before that, I need to see what you’re capable of…” Zhi Xue took out a small bottle of blood.

Although she obtained the initial version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, it was still far from Orochimaru's improved version in terms of functionality. Therefore, Zhixue planned to use her Sharingan to copy it several times when Orochimaru used the technique, in order to improve the initial version.

Looking at the blood vial that Zhixue handed him, Orochimaru tentatively picked up a small portion of the blood with his Hidden Shadow Snake Hand.

"Although I can help you, the Impure World Reincarnation technique requires many things to be prepared besides the recipient's physical tissues..."

Snapped!

Zhi Xue took out a large altar, a dozen candles, and some items that could be used to set up formations and draw lines from the system's space, which startled Orochimaru.

“Tell me what’s missing,” Zhi Xue said, tapping the altar and making a series of crisp sounds.

There are many items in the system space, and most of the items in the ninja world are for sale. With her current financial resources, this shameless snake shouldn't even think about making excuses.

Orochimaru:……

After much commotion, Orochimaru, under the oppressive power of Shisue, finally set up the formation used for the Impure World Reincarnation technique on the ground.

Of course, her earlier successful execution of the Impure World Reincarnation technique simply by forming hand seals was all pre-planned. As an S-rank forbidden technique of Konoha, its use is quite complicated.

After spending 15 minutes completing the formation, Orochimaru placed a lucky Sound Ninja in front of it. As Orochimaru's hands moved, the Sound Ninja was gradually swallowed up by the white impure earth.

As puffs of white smoke rose from the Sound Ninja's body, a Sand Ninja who had been killed by Konoha ninjas during the Konoha Crush plan looked around at the scenery in confusion.

Wait, he was almost in the Pure Land, how come he was pulled back again?

Seeing the confused look in the eyes of the Sand Ninja, Zhixue clapped her hands.

clap clap clap...

"Well done, little snake. The Impure World Reincarnation Technique is indeed much stronger than the original version." In the Sharingan's vision, the Sand Ninja's chakra was much stronger than the original version, so it seems that many improvements were made along the way.

"I never expected you to be interested in such forbidden techniques that manipulate the souls of the dead..." Orochimaru glanced at Shiki's delighted expression, and a sense of fear crept into his heart.

This guy was practically invisible a few years ago, but his talent and strength later became monstrous. Now he's even taken a liking to this forbidden technique. I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse for the ninja world...

While Zhixue was still secretly working with Orochimaru, Konoha had imprisoned some Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja, intending to have a good talk with their village later and buy the ninjas with money.

The expressions of the Sand Village ninja when they heard that Rasa was missing were quite interesting, while Gaara, who was in a solitary room, seemed to have little feeling about it.

His childhood was saved by his master; the father he imagined had died years ago when Yashamaru toyed with his last shred of affection…

After personally counting the number of people in Konoha's prison, Hiruzen Sarutobi had the Anbu record it in their notebooks.

"I never expected Orochimaru to use a borrowed knife to kill someone, and she almost tricked me..." Hiruzen Sarutobi walked out of the prison with his hands behind his back.

Looking at it now, while Konoha doesn't have major internal conflicts, it's quite powerless against external threats...

After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi also planned to go to the Uchiha clan to find Shisui and see what he thought. But on the way, he suddenly encountered Itachi Uchiha, who was carrying a child with tattered clothes and two red dots on his eyebrows.

"One against seven...who is this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed at the child Itachi was carrying and asked in confusion.

He didn't recall having such a person in the village.

"Lord Hokage, this brat secretly infiltrated the Uchiha clan's rear while we were fighting the Sand Ninja, trying to kidnap children his own age. Also, his abilities are very strange..." Itachi raised his other hand and looked at his palm, where blood was still seeping from the bandages.

Bones emerging from his body? It feels like the Kaguya clan, but Itachi isn't too sure, since that clan has been extinct in Kirigakure for who knows how many years. Fortunately, the battle ended quickly, otherwise he might have actually succeeded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Kimimaro, who was still unconscious, and ordered him to be taken to the sealing squad for imprisonment.

Orochimaru is actually using children to raid villages now? And he's even setting his sights on the Uchiha clan. It seems this disciple who's gone astray has absolutely no self-respect…

Chapter 226, Mission Complete

In the southern border region of the Land of Lightning, the remains of many ninjas from the wars of bygone years are buried. In this desolate place filled with graves, two people dressed in black trench coats and wearing rain hats have arrived.

After observing the surroundings with her Sharingan, Zhixue used a tracking talisman (worth 20 coins each) from the system shop to locate the graves where Kinkaku and Ginkaku were buried.

“It should be here…” Zhi Xue glanced at the uneven grave mound in front of her with her scarlet eyes, and used earth-style ninjutsu to neatly dig it open, revealing the coffin containing Jin Jiao’s remains. Not far away, she also dug out the coffin containing Yin Jiao’s remains.

Orochimaru felt somewhat ashamed as he watched this little girl in front of him dig up a grave and break off a piece of bone.

After cutting off the two people's body tissues, Zhi Xue buried them back in, since she was only borrowing the Nine-Tails' chakra and didn't really have any great grudge to dig up their graves.

After Zhixue dealt with the body tissues of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Orochimaru spent 10 minutes preparing before unleashing the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The figure on the magic circle struggled and was swallowed by the white impure earth. After a moment of silence, two ninjas wearing white Cloud Village Jonin vests and with two horns on their heads appeared.

Seeing the two figures that had been reborn, Zhixue went up and patted their muscular bodies, then asked Orochimaru, "Can you make them transform into their tailed beast forms?"

Orochimaru:……

"Ahem, Tailed Beast transformation should be possible, but it requires awakening first. Besides, these two killed the First Raikage and the Second Hokage during the First Shinobi World War, and their strength is unfathomable. If..."

Orochimaru didn't continue, but Shiyuki understood his concerns.

Orochimaru is not in good condition right now. If he is not controlled, he may break free of control, which would lead to unpredictable and serious consequences. But this is not a big deal in front of her.

"Hey, hey, just summon them all you want. These two won't stand a chance against me," Zhi Xue said to Orochimaru, activating her Mangekyou Sharingan.

Looking into those chilling eyes, Orochimaru felt a shiver run down his spine. He then nodded, formed hand seals, and relaxed his control over Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

The consciousness of the dead, summoned to the mortal world, gradually awakened. When Golden Horn opened his eyes and saw the numerous graves around him and his own inhuman state, he instantly realized what was happening.

"You actually fell for a defeated opponent's ninjutsu? How embarrassing, little brother."

"Really? Brother, but it looks like we've been dead for many years. I wonder which madman actually thought of releasing us?" Silver Horn crossed his arms and looked at Orochimaru and Shizuru not far in front of him.

How did an adult who looks unhealthy and a little kid who's not even as tall as the grass on the grave next to them dare to summon their brother?

"The rest is up to you..." Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Orochimaru released his control over Kinkaku and Ginkaku, then ran off in a flash.

Beneath the dim clouds, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers approached Zhi Xue and said, "Kid, we're the legendary brothers who can fight the Nine-Tailed Fox to a draw. Haven't you thought about the consequences?"

Seeing Jinjiao squatting down and looking at her with a fierce expression, Zhixue simply shrugged.

"Of course I've heard of the names of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, but so what? If you two are willing to hand over the Nine-Tails' chakra yourselves, then I can let you two go play for a few days."

Hearing Zhi Xue's extremely arrogant words, Yin Jiao also laughed out loud.

"Hehehe, brother, it seems we've been underestimated. Even without the Six Paths Ninja Tools, there are probably not many in the ninja world who can rival us."

“That’s right. If it weren’t for the forbidden techniques that old man Tobirama Senju used, we might have already carved out a territory in the ninja world.” As Kinkaku responded to Ginkaku, he released a terrifying wave of chakra, which was like a muffled thunderclap that made people feel a chill.

Jinjiao intended to scare the little devil in front of him, but the effect did not seem to be very good. Zhixue did not feel afraid in front of Jinjiao, but instead took off her bamboo hat.

When Jinjiao and Yinjiao looked at Zhixue's lovely face and her scarlet eyes, they were also somewhat surprised.

Is that the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Five minutes later, Kinkaku and Ginkaku were pinned to a mountain several kilometers away, and the crimson Nine-Tails chakra in its half-tailed beast form was gradually absorbed into a teapot by Zhixue.

"This...how is this possible?" Pinned firmly to the edge of the cliff by the black rods, and feeling the Nine-Tails' chakra constantly draining from their bodies, Kinkaku and Ginkaku looked at Zhixue with disbelief.

Even without the aid of the Six Paths Ninja Tools, they shouldn't have lost so quickly.

"The chakra of six tails? Not bad, that should be enough." After glancing at the struggling Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, Zhixue flew to Orochimaru's side.

"Alright, I've sealed off a portion of Gold and Silver Brothers' chakra. You can now undo the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Orochimaru looked at Shiki, who still showed no signs of fatigue, and a hint of incomprehension flashed in his cold, narrow eyes.

She couldn't understand why this little guy's strength had improved so rapidly in just six years; it was simply unbelievable.

Orochimaru released the Impure World Reincarnation, then watched Shiki leave and followed her.

"What are you doing following me? Do you want to freeload off me?" Zhixue pointed at Orochimaru and said.

Orochimaru:……

Under the dim sky, Orochimaru watched Shiki leave, spread his hands, and looked somewhat surprised.

"They...they just let me go like that?" Orochimaru suddenly felt an absurd sense of being rejected as he watched Shiki leave without the slightest hesitation.

"No, what am I thinking? It's best to hide and avoid trouble now..." Seeing that Shiyuki had disappeared, Orochimaru transformed into a giant snake and ran towards the Land of Rice Fields.

It seems the ninja world is still too dangerous... Perhaps it's better to play it safe, focus on developing the technology tree, and pursue a better body only after our numerous experiments have been successful...

After obtaining the Nine-Tails' chakra, Zhixue heard the system notification.
