Naruto: On the Night of the Nine-Tails, I Resurrected the Previous Hokage

Upon hearing this, Obito's pupils contracted sharply beneath his mask, not understanding why the other party knew his identity and his escape plan.

However, he can't afford to waste any more time now.

Since Madara's legacy doesn't contain many Sharingan eyes, he only brought one three-tomoe Sharingan to Konoha this time to use Izanagi.

Therefore, he only has one minute.

Minato and Fugaku rushed over anxiously when they saw the "seriously injured" Orochimaru, only to see Obito's figure slowly disappear.

"What's going on?" Minato asked, looking completely bewildered.

Fugaku's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

This is Izanagi, a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan. Why could someone of unknown identity learn it?

This is considered standard practice for the Uchiha clan; those who can use Izanagi are generally not normal Uchiha clan members.

This forbidden technique is forbidden, but not completely forbidden.

"Lord Orochimaru, how are you?" Minato asked with some concern.

Orochimaru shook his head, then carefully observed his surroundings. Obito was very likely to appear here.

next moment.

Obito's figure appeared more than ten meters away, and a strange spatial vortex gathered in his eye sockets.

Orochimaru seized the opportunity, and a giant white phosphorus snake burst open his body, shooting towards Obito's location.

At the same time, the white phosphorus serpent opened its mouth, which was filled with viscous liquid, and Orochimaru, wielding the Kusanagi sword, slashed at Obito's head.

When Obito entered the Kamui dimension, his body was not in a holographic state, which was the best time to attack him.

boom!

Obito's mask was shattered by Orochimaru's sword, and Obito reacted immediately, entering a Hollowfication state.

However, his wrinkled yet familiar face still caught the eye of Minato and Fugaku.

"Obito? How could it be you? Why would you do such a thing?" Minato stared blankly at Obito, whose face was full of wrinkles and one eye was completely blind.

"It seems the lakeside group's report was correct; you are indeed Uchiha Obito."

After Orochimaru reorganized the barrier team, he told them to report any suspicious chakra they encountered immediately.

Today, Captain Yamanaka Kohan, who was in charge of the perception barrier, immediately informed Orochimaru through the Mind Transfer Technique the moment he sensed Uchiha Obito.

Judging from the intelligence feedback, the barrier team did a pretty good job.

However, they seem to have misunderstood me...

Orochimaru requested that the report be submitted directly to the Hokage; he had no time to deal with the intruders from Konoha!

It seems I'll have to discipline them properly from now on.

Obito glared at Minato with hatred: "Minato-sensei, you're the last person who has the right to ask this question! If it weren't for you always being late, Rin wouldn't be dead!"

Although Obito always made the others wait when the team gathered because he had to help various old ladies, putting aside the facts, was Minato really without any fault?

Just as Minato hesitated, a dark mass suddenly emerged from the ground and enveloped Obito completely.

Orochimaru had been preparing for this for a long time, and with wind-style chakra wrapped around his Kusanagi sword, he slashed at the black mass.

However, even cutting off a portion of that black substance did not affect the opponent's actions in the slightest.

After completely enveloping Obito, they burrowed him underground, and even Konoha's barrier couldn't detect Obito's presence.

Orochimaru had anticipated this.

This is a creature created by Kaguya using Yin-Yang Release; it's something far more advanced. What she wanted wasn't to capture that cunning old bastard Black Zetsu, but to keep a part of his body.

Orochimaru then placed the severed half of Minato's body into the sealing scroll before turning back to look at him.

Noticing that Minato's gaze was still somewhat vacant, Orochimaru waved his hand in front of Minato's eyes.

Once he regained his composure, Minato looked apologetic: "Let's talk about this at the Hokage's residence."

……

Naruto's Mansion.

Orochimaru and Minato briefly reviewed the information about Obito and thus tentatively confirmed their plan to capture him.

However, Orochimaru wasn't too optimistic about this capture plan.

The best solution would definitely be to send Minato with his elite troops to capture him.

However, the era of the Third Hokage has just passed, and the policies of Konoha are now conservative. The Hokage should always be stationed in Konoha.

Of course, only Orochimaru understood that Obito was not the key; the most crucial element was Black Zetsu.

To deal with Black Zetsu, we'll have to see how much we can figure out with half of his body.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble for himself, Orochimaru did not reject Minato's plan.

After finalizing the plan, Orochimaru demonstrated the use of the scientific ninja tools to Minato.

Minato's eyes widened as he watched the wall of water spewed from the scientific ninja tool.

"For now, he can only use it to release basic Fire Release: Flame Bullet and Water Release: Water Barrier. In reality, many ninjutsu cannot be performed yet!"

Sealing ninjutsu completely within a scroll and preserving it for a long time is a major challenge. After several days of research, Tobirama Senju only managed to complete the existing fire-sealing seal and the water-style ninjutsu he was most familiar with.

Fortunately, two ninjutsu techniques, one for offense and one for defense, are enough to fight a primitive ninja war.

Minato shook his head and said, "No, that's already incredibly impressive!"

Minato immediately bought all the scientific ninja tools, since they were all funded by the daimyo, so he didn't feel bad about using them.

However, the small rolls were only produced in a few prototypes and have not yet entered mass production, so they have not been fully delivered.

But this isn't a big problem, since Tobirama Senju is an impure body and can regenerate chakra infinitely, making him perfect for making small scrolls.

It's just that we'll have to put up with a little hardship for Tobirama Senju.

……

After leaving the Hokage's residence again, Orochimaru now had millions of ryo in savings.

"Suddenly, I don't feel like trying anymore," Orochimaru thought to himself, now back home and lying in bed.

However, he accomplished the Arrancar Obito incident ahead of schedule.

The previous destruction of the root force proved that the event would be settled ahead of schedule. Although it was just some insignificant stuff, it was better to take it than not.

"System, process the transaction!"

[Participate in the Arrancar Obito incident, reward: Gedo Statue.]

Upon hearing the system notification that the settlement had been completed, Orochimaru abruptly sat up in bed.

He repeatedly opened his system inventory and confirmed that the Gedo Statue was the same Gedo Statue he knew.

What's going on?

Based on the system's previous track record, these rewards were all sourced directly from this world. Even the two cans of local specialties were specifically compared to the Root's inventory, and confirmed to have indeed been sourced from there.

Oh well, as long as I put it in the system inventory, no one will be able to find it.

I just hope Black Zetsu won't panic when he finds out his mother's outer shell has fallen off.
