I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 111 Sasuke's Mysterious Confidence, Orochimaru's Excitement

"Lord Orochimaru, you seem a bit disheveled."

Yagyu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a White Zetsu clone that was unconscious. He looked at the White Phosphorus Serpent lying on the ground, also bound by green vines, with blood still oozing from its wounds, and teased it with a smile.

"Hehe... I'm sorry you had to see this, Yagyu-kun."

Looking at Yagyu who had saved him, the white phosphorus serpent uttered a hoarse voice.

My mood didn't lighten; instead, it became even heavier.

He didn't care that he couldn't beat Uchiha Sasuke.

It doesn't matter if I die.

If he seizes the opportunity, he can be resurrected in Uchiha Sasuke and Mitarashi Anko at any time.

Of course, it would be even better if I could successfully possess someone now.

However, Yagyu's appearance made Orochimaru very uneasy.

Orochimaru feared Yagyu more than Itachi Uchiha.

After the deal was completed, Yagyu could have easily killed him and Kabuto, but he spared them.

This is not underestimation, but rather an absolute confidence in one's own strength, just like Pain of the Akatsuki.

The fact that they have appeared here again by such coincidence not only means that Yagyu had anticipated this scene, but also that he had been monitoring them using unknown means.

What does he want to do?

Orochimaru was very puzzled.

At that moment, Orochimaru suddenly realized that the restraints on his body had been removed.

Yagyu placed the White Zetsu clone on the ground, pried open its mouth, and smiled at Orochimaru, saying, "Lord Orochimaru, forget about Sasuke's body. Take over this body instead; I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

"..."

Orochimaru remained silent for a moment.

As the previous leader of Akatsuki, Orochimaru naturally knew Zetsu, the only one without a partner, or perhaps he himself was a team.

That White Zetsu possessed numerous clones and its infiltration techniques were arguably the best in the ninja world, yet it was still captured by Yagyu.

Yagyu allowed him to possess a White Zetsu clone. Could it be that White Zetsu's clone is even more special than the Wood Clone, and doesn't disappear?

After only a few seconds of hesitation, Orochimaru launched himself forward and sped toward the White Zetsu clone.

He had no choice!

The White Phosphorus Serpent was enormous, larger than the combined size of Yagyu and his White Zetsu clones.

However, upon approaching the White Zetsu clone's mouth, the White Phosphorus Serpent, like a liquid, surged into the clone's body through a mouth explosion.

At first, the body of the White Zetsu clone swelled up like a balloon, with something wriggling and colliding inside.

But soon, the White Zetsu clone's swollen body returned to its original shape, and it slowly stood up. Its white body transformed into Orochimaru's appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even more amazingly, the White Zetsu clone, who wasn't wearing any clothes, actually produced clothes.

"This body..."

Having just possessed the body of a White Zetsu clone, Orochimaru's pupils constricted as he stared at his hands, exclaiming incredulously, "Unbelievable! Is this really just a clone?"

Orochimaru always has an adjustment period after each reincarnation.

Three years later, the body will break down.

But when he possessed this body, he felt no discomfort whatsoever, as if it were his original body.

Moreover, Orochimaru also sensed a surge of vitality within this body.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you like this body?"

Upon hearing Yagyu's voice, Orochimaru suppressed his urge to dissect himself and study the White Zetsu clone, and smiled at Yagyu, saying, "Ah... Yagyu-kun, you've really given me a big surprise."

"You've come all this way to give me this gift, I wonder what you'd like me to do for you?"

"We'll talk about that later."

Yagyu walked towards Uchiha Sasuke and formed a hand seal with one hand.

The branches attached to Uchiha Sasuke immediately fell to the ground.

"Long time no see, Sasuke."

Yagyu raised his hand and greeted Sasuke Uchiha, who had turned to face him, with a smile.

"When did the future Sixth Hokage of Konoha become allied with the rogue ninja who killed the Third Hokage?" Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but mock.

"Lord Orochimaru is a talented individual; his death here would be a great loss to the ninja world."

Yagyu smiled and explained, "Similarly, if you, Sasuke, are in danger, I will also lend a hand."

"snort."

Seeing that Yagyu was not hostile but rather prepared to act as a peacemaker, Uchiha Sasuke coldly snorted, sheathed his Kusanagi sword, and said, "If you've come to take me back, then don't waste your time, unless you keep me sealed away forever."

"Don't worry, I have no such intention."

Yagyu smiled and said, "I'm not like that clueless Naruto. I know you're just a pure avenger right now."

"Good to know, then that's settled."

Uchiha Sasuke was about to leave.

However, the words Bai Mao had said to him three years ago suddenly came to mind.

So, Sasuke Uchiha left Yagyu with a confident statement: "Next time we meet, I won't lose to you again."

After saying that, Uchiha Sasuke vanished in an instant, leaving behind a Yagyu with a look of admiration.

To be honest, Sasuke Uchiha has a really good character.

No matter how many times he falls or how many beatings he gets, he can always maintain a confident look.

"Yagyu-kun, would you like to come to my place for a while?"

Orochimaru said with a smile.

He didn't care about Sasuke Uchiha's departure.

However, this does not mean that he has given up on the idea of ​​possessing Uchiha Sasuke and obtaining the Sharingan.

On the contrary, Orochimaru was looking forward to the battle between Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, hoping to use Itachi to bring Sasuke to the brink of death and then take over his body.

However, before that, Orochimaru wanted to understand the structure of this new body and Yagyu's purpose in saving him.

It's clear from the fact that Yagyu brought the White Zetsu clone that he knows a lot, such as how the Shinigami Mask can break the Reaper Death Seal.

What exactly is this kid plotting?

"Then I'll take my leave, Lord Orochimaru."

Yagyu nodded with a smile, unaware of Orochimaru's thoughts.

The two then entered Orochimaru's underground base through the crater created by Sasuke Uchiha.

In the candlelit room, Orochimaru poured tea for Yagyu while asking with a smile, "Yagyu-kun, can you now answer my question?"

"Lord Orochimaru, aren't the White Zetsu clones very useful?" Yagyu asked instead of answering.

"Yes, this body is a perfect match for me, almost exactly the same as my original body."

Orochimaru nodded, slightly amazed, "Moreover, the life force here is somewhat similar to Hashirama's cells, yet completely different."

"What's even more incredible is that this is actually a clone, and a physical clone that won't disappear."

Yagyu did not tell Orochimaru that these so-called White Zetsu clones were actually former humans.

Instead, he took a sip of tea and smiled meaningfully, "Lord Orochimaru, your soul entered the body of the White Zetsu clone without any discomfort. Have you ever considered... if the soul of the deceased were summoned and allowed to possess the body of the White Zetsu clone, wouldn't the deceased be reborn in a different way? If the deceased had unlimited chakra, would they be able to unleash their full power from before their birth?"

Swah——

Upon hearing Yagyu's words, Orochimaru had a sudden flash of inspiration.

As if suddenly enlightened, a torrent of inspiration burst forth.

Orochimaru felt as if an electric current had shot through his spine and rushed to his brain. His body trembled slightly, and he exclaimed with excited trembling, "The perfect Impure World Reincarnation technique!"
