Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Snake Aunt wanted to take Red Bean to Orochimaru, but suddenly hesitated.

Because if Red Bean is taken back, her true form will re-implant the Heavenly Curse Seal into Red Bean.

Just because Hongdou succeeded once doesn't mean he can win every time. If he wins every time, he'll get tired of it!

The red bean was almost eroded to death by the cursed seal that was implanted in it.

Aunt Snake can't let Red Bean go back to suffer that kind of pain anymore.

Actually, her hesitation was useless, because after the red bean lost its curse mark, it was re-implanted with the spores of Liaowu.

Liao Wu removed the curse mark from Hong Dou mainly so that he could make Hong Dou his own possession.

Liao Wu used vines to drag Yamato along, and followed Ichikishima-hime, preparing to meet the White Snake Sage.

But then they saw that Aunt Snake and Red Bean were still standing in the same spot.

He shouted, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow me!"

Red Bean retorted, "You evil Uchiha Ryou, don't yell at Orochimaru-sensei, or I'll fight you to the death!"

"How dare you!"

Liao Wu formed a hand seal, and the spores inside Hongdou's body were activated. Hongdou collapsed to the ground, her face flushed, trembling.

Snake Aunt was furious: "Uchiha Ryou, you're not allowed to bully my student!"

Liao Wu aimed his seal at Snake Aunt, who was now in the same miserable state as Red Bean, her eyes rolling back and her body churning internally.

But Aunt Snake was able to hold on and did not fall to the ground like Red Bean; she just bent her legs and trembled.

Candy peeled a lollipop and ate it, looking at Red Bean and Aunt Snake, the master and apprentice, and sighed, "What a tragic couple!"

Upon seeing the horrific state of Orochimaru and Anko, Yamato roared angrily at Ryogoku, "Uchiha Ryogoku, you bastard, release Anko and Orochimaru-sensei!"

"Yamato, I didn't control you, did I?"

Liao Wu stopped controlling Snake Aunt and Red Bean, approached Yamato, and another spore appeared in his hand.

Since the existence of Ghost Lantern City, Liaowu has never lacked spores. People die in Ghost Lantern City every day; it is full of heinous criminals.

It was their merit that enabled Liaowu to succeed.

Liao Wu implanted spores into the Earth Curse Seal of Yamato.

Yamato tried to activate the cursed seal, but all of his chakra was absorbed by Ryouu.

Furthermore, Yamato was implanted with the cursed seal for a very short time, and can only activate state one now, not the full-power state two.

Even if he could activate his second state, he would still be no match for Liao Wu.

Liao Wu possesses Wood Release that enhances White Zetsu cells. This Wood Release has the ability to absorb chakra even in its normal state, making it even more terrifying than Hashirama's original Wood Release.

The Wood Release technique is overwhelmingly superior to Yamato's.

Liao Wu implanted spores into Yamato's cursed seal, meaning Orochimaru's resurrection cursed seal was not limited to the Heavenly Curse Seal.

The Heavenly Curse Seal is special because it contains fragments of Orochimaru's soul, while the other curse seals are made up of Orochimaru's chakra.

Calling it a soul fragment is a bit out of place; you can think of it as Orochimaru's special chakra.

After the spores of Liaowu were implanted, a white snake emerged from the Earth Curse Seal of Yamato.

This is also a clone of Orochimaru, but not as complete as Snake Aunt.

Liao Wu stepped on the white snake, then threw it to the snake aunt beside him, controlling her to absorb it.

After absorbing the white snake, Snake Aunt's soul grew stronger.

Chakra is a combination of spiritual and physical energy, and it also contains the essence of the soul.

If Orochimaru's sister could obtain more of his cells or chakra, she could replace him.

Besides Orochimaru's chakra, the cursed seal also contains the purest substance—Jugo's bodily fluids.

To put it more elegantly, it's Jugo's fairy enzyme.

This enzyme is able to autonomously absorb natural energy from its surroundings.

Liao Wu accepted the enzyme. He contacted the spores and had them transfer Chong Wu's immortal enzyme to Liao Wu, concentrating it within Liao Wu's curse seal.

Liao Wu touched his neck. After absorbing some of Chong Wu's enzymes, Liao Wu's curse seal became more efficient at absorbing natural energy.

This is a win-win-win situation.

Snake Auntie won by obtaining Orochimaru's chakra; Yamato won again by having his cursed seal removed by Ryougo, thus eliminating the risk posed by Orochimaru.

Liao Wu's cursed seal, having obtained Chong Wu's immortal enzyme, was even more victorious.

A world where only Orochimaru loses has been born!

Of the three wins, Daiwa wins the most.

Because his interstitial cells are now complete.

Why do I say that?

Because the spores of *Lysimachia foetida* are functional interstitial cells that are more powerful than white-skinned cells.

It can provide Yamato with a massive amount of chakra, as well as all chakra attributes, absorption, perception, organic fusion, and self-healing...

Yamato's weaknesses have all been addressed.

There is only one minor drawback: life and death depend on Liao Wu's will.

Yamato is currently just a mini-Hashirama. If the spores don't suppress him, the Wood Release he uses will be the complete Wood Release.

At the very limit, activating the Tree World Descent is no problem.

However, the stats for Wood Dragon and Wood Man depend on Yamato's own stats.

The spores only provide a boost based on the host's ninja stats.

It is impossible for an ordinary person to become an elite ninja comparable to a Jonin after obtaining the Ryūbu spores.

Therefore, Yamato won the most, but he didn't know he had won so much!

He looked at Liao Wu with a very angry gaze.

Liao Wu ignored Yamato's gaze, looked towards Hongdou's side, and walked over. He wanted to obtain the immortal enzyme contained in Hongdou's Heavenly Curse Seal.

Hongdou was taxed by Liaowu. When she saw Liaowu coming over, she hid behind Liaowu in fear.

Liao Wu used his vines to suck the red beans up.

Red Bean cried out for help: "Orochimaru-sensei!"

"red beans!"

Snake Aunt rushed forward, and Liao Wu formed a hand seal, causing her to fall back into the previous tremor.

Snake Aunt could only tremble and helplessly watch as Ryo Wu harmed Anko. She weakly threatened, "Uchiha Ryo Wu, if you dare to hurt Anko, I will fight you to the death."

Liao Wu looked at Snake Aunt with disdain: "The weak have no right to choose how they die. That's reality."

"Uchiha Ryou-wu—"

Yamato tried to break free from Liaowu's vines to rush up and rescue Hongdou; the spores' boost to Yamato was visible to the naked eye.

Yamato easily snapped the vines binding him.

He formed a hand seal, and sharp branches shot up from his hands.

Liao Wu formed a hand seal, directly causing the spores inside Yamato's body to release an electric current.

Yamato was electrocuted and collapsed to the ground, becoming a useless Yamato.

Candy watched from the side and shook her head: "When the candy runs out, we'll give it away!"

Liaowu then came into contact with the spores inside the red bean and absorbed the taurine enzymes within the spores.

Now, the Liaowu Curse Seal is no different from the Heavenly Curse Seal, and he can activate his second state.

But Orochimaru is chasing after them with his men, so they can't stay any longer.

Let's go!

A few minutes after Liao Wu and the others left Tuan Jin Ji's training grounds, Orochimaru arrived with his men.

Orochimaru looked somewhat saddened, as he could sense that the spores he had implanted in Anko and Yamato were gone.

Either their curse seals were broken and they were captured by Liao Wu, or—they died!

Orochimaru was very worried about the second scenario.

Orochimaru is not without emotions.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, but they have very little emotion.

It lacks the emotional center of mammals and does not possess complex emotions such as kinship, friendship, love, guilt, and attachment.

After laying eggs, female snakes usually leave directly and do not raise their offspring. When they meet, it is more about competition or mating, and they do not have a "companionship consciousness".

Orochimaru is detached from emotions, but once he develops feelings, they are hard to forget.

Just like his parents, Orochimaru lost the whole world after they died in battle.

Therefore, Orochimaru warned himself not to develop feelings anymore, because feelings are a burden.

Orochimaru sending Anko to participate in the Sage Trials at Ryuchi Cave signifies that he has already abandoned her.

Since you've already abandoned her, there's no need to continue developing feelings for her.

Orochimaru wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and put on a sinister smile.

Tobirama saw Orochimaru's actions and was somewhat puzzled. Could this snake also shed tears?
