Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 160 Orochimaru's trump card: the Impure World Reincarnation technique!

The sky is red.

The world is black and white.

Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi world seemed lifeless.

Orochimaru lowered his head, a cold smile still playing on his lips. He was utterly disdainful of Itachi's methods and showed no fear whatsoever of the pain of the ninja sword piercing his body.

"Itachi, is this all your genjutsu is capable of?"

How could one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha be afraid of such genjutsu torture?

If this brat Itachi Uchiha thinks that this will frighten him, then he is seriously underestimating his senior.

"As expected of Orochimaru-senpai."

Uchiha Itachi drew his ninja sword without a care and plunged it into Orochimaru's body once more. Blood splattered again, but his voice remained calm.

"There's something you've forgotten: everything in the Tsukuyomi world, including time, is under my control. This is just the beginning. We still have seventy-two hours to go in the Tsukuyomi world. During this time, I will continue to stab you with a knife. The pain of being stabbed by a ninja sword is the same as the pain in real life..."

"Seventy-two hours?"

Orochimaru's pupils suddenly widened.

If it were just one or two stabs, Orochimaru wouldn't really care. However, how many times would Itachi Uchiha stab him over seventy-two hours?

"I've already said it, I control the time I spend on Tsukuyomi."

Itachi Uchiha ignored his thoughts, drew his ninja sword again, and slowly plunged it into his chest: "The first second of time in the Tsukuyomi world hasn't even passed yet. Orochimaru-senpai can feel the length of life here..."

As Itachi Uchiha moved, one after another, phantoms of Itachi Uchiha walked over, raised their ninja swords, and plunged them all into Orochimaru's body, blood flowing from the wounds!

however…

These phantoms of Uchiha Itachi, like emotionless machines, coldly stabbed Orochimaru again and again!

"what!"

Orochimaru finally opened his mouth wide in pain!

This Tsukuyomi genjutsu was like an interrogation nightmare for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had no idea when it would end and couldn't keep track of the time he was being tortured; only the caster, Uchiha Itachi, knew the exact flow of time.

Orochimaru didn't know how many times he had been stabbed, and could only feel the pain of the ninja swords piercing his body, when he heard Itachi Uchiha's voice.

"The first second has passed."

Itachi Uchiha's expression was calm and indifferent, but his words sent a chill down Orochimaru's spine: "Seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds remain..."

"Has only been a second...?"

Orochimaru felt the pain he had just experienced. The injuries he had suffered in that one second were many times greater than the injuries he had suffered in his entire life!

however…

Has only a second passed?

For the first time, Orochimaru experienced the length of life through this torture, yet he could only stand helplessly on the cross, watching countless ninja swords pierce his body one after another!

"ah…"

Orochimaru's painful groans echoed through this black and white world.

The real world.

When Itachi finally released Orochimaru from the Tsukuyomi genjutsu, Orochimaru's body involuntarily collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and his arms still trembling...

"This level of illusion..."

Orochimaru's voice trembled slightly; the pain in his brain was still intense, making it impossible for him to recover from the agony: "How is this possible..."

Nothing is impossible.

Uchiha Itachi looked down at Orochimaru, who was lying on the ground, and two shuriken flashed in his hands, as if he wanted to do something to Orochimaru.

"You little brat..."

Orochimaru stared intently at Itachi Uchiha, then let out a low laugh: "So you actually want to kill me here?"

"Of course not."

Itachi Uchiha stared at Orochimaru and slowly shook his head: "However, at least I'll teach you a profound lesson so you won't harbor any more covetous thoughts..."

fortunately.

A figure interrupted them.

Sasori's Hiruko crawled over and said coldly, "A newcomer who's just joined Akatsuki, and you're already bullying your seniors here?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha flipped his hand and instantly withdrew his shuriken.

"..."

When Orochimaru saw Sasori arrive, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. Sasori's arrival had indeed saved him, but it also made him feel somewhat ashamed.

Sasori of the Red Sand will definitely laugh at him, right?

"Can you still stand up? Or can't you?"

Sasori's Hiruko crawled to Orochimaru's side, noticed that Orochimaru couldn't stand up, and even stretched out her tail to wrap around Orochimaru's body, dragging him away from there.

"Looks like I should thank you..."

Orochimaru was being dragged along by Hiruko, looking rather disheveled.

"You're welcome."

Sasori dragged Orochimaru to a mountain staircase at the Akatsuki base, then suddenly stopped, seemingly wanting to do something as well.

Orochimaru was still wondering why they had stopped when he turned his head and saw the steps. His expression suddenly changed: "Wait, what are you trying to do?!"

"..."

Sasori suddenly removed the ring from Orochimaru's hand, loosened Hiruko's tail, and threw Orochimaru directly onto the mountain steps, letting him roll down the steps!

"What are you doing, you bastard!"

Orochimaru rolled down, his teeth clenched in a rage!

"I'm saving you."

Sasori's Hiruko responded in a hoarse voice, then continued coldly, "This is a little face I'm giving you because we once worked together on a mission."

"I'm going to see Pain now and report that you wanted to kill a new recruit in the organization and betrayed Akatsuki. I've wanted to kick you out of Akatsuki for a long time..."

"Run away..."

"Today is your time to escape..."

"Starting tomorrow, I will hunt you down. Enjoy the rest of your time; your eternal life can never compare to my eternal art..."

"asshole!"

Orochimaru could only curse bitterly!

The aftereffects of being hit by the Tsukuyomi genjutsu were still present, and Orochimaru rolled off the cliff without any strength to resist, not even having a chance to reach out and grab a lifeline!

Sasori of the Red Sand, that bastard…

They even took advantage of this moment to attack him!

Orochimaru knew that in his current state, he had absolutely no chance of escaping Sasori's pursuit, and he had to find a way to save himself!

Orochimaru tumbled down the mountain and hurriedly released a small white snake clone from his feet, instructing it to bring Kabuto Yakushi over as soon as possible so that Kabuto could come and save him!

"..."

Sasori glanced at Orochimaru, who was tumbling down the steps, then turned and slowly walked towards the base. He still had to report Orochimaru's defection to Pain.

"..."

Itachi Uchiha also witnessed this scene.

This newcomer, who had just joined the Akatsuki organization, came to understand the camaraderie among the members and experienced the cutthroat corporate culture within the organization.

"Newcomer".

Sasori looked at Itachi Uchiha and calmly gave him a lesson: "If you lose to another newcomer in the future, Orochimaru will be your fate."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head.

Inside the cave at the Akatsuki's base.

Without a second thought, Pain granted Sasori's request and took back Orochimaru's ring.

In Pain's eyes, Sasori, who had truly experienced hardship, was one of his own, while Orochimaru was merely a pawn that could be discarded at any time.

"Since Orochimaru wants to betray Akatsuki, then you should go and get rid of him to prevent him from leaking Akatsuki's information."

"Can."

Sasori of the Red Sand nodded.

Pain even proactively asked Sasori for his opinion: "During this time, Konan will be looking for a more suitable partner for you. Sasori, what are your thoughts?"

"The stronger the better."

Sasori of the Red Sand did not make any troublesome requests.

The land of rain.

Inside a hidden cave.

Kabuto was still obediently waiting for Orochimaru, but instead of Orochimaru, he received a message from a little white snake sent by Orochimaru, asking him to go and rescue someone.

When Kabuto followed the white snake to the foot of the mountain where the Akatsuki base was located, he saw Orochimaru covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and he had scrapes all over his body from rolling down the mountain steps. He could only huddle motionless in a patch of grass...

Orochimaru is in a terrible state right now...

Where can you still see any resemblance to the legendary Sannin of Konoha?

Because Orochimaru's brain is still suffering from the aftereffects of the Tsukuyomi genjutsu, he is even unable to use the Orochimaru-style substitution technique, and his finger movements are somewhat difficult.

Kabuto the Pharmacist was somewhat puzzled.

What exactly is going on?

How come Orochimaru has changed so much in such a short time?

When they parted, he solemnly promised to wait a moment and not move, saying that he would soon retrieve Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan. But when they met again, he looked as disheveled as a beggar who had been thrown out.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Kabuto narrowed his eyes slightly, but ultimately did not take any action. He simply squatted down beside Orochimaru and used medical ninjutsu to heal his injuries with a worried expression.

"pocket."

Orochimaru finally saw his savior.

This moment.

Orochimaru was even somewhat relieved that the person beside him was Kabuto Yakushi.

Because Kabuto Yakushi is a medical ninja, he can heal his injuries; and because Kabuto Yakushi's strength is not too great, it is still within his control.

"Take me away from here first."

Orochimaru, seeing the worried look on Kabuto's face, ordered in a deep voice, "Find a place to hide first. That bastard Sasori will be here tomorrow..."

"Yes."

Kabuto immediately hoisted Orochimaru onto his back and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened? Did Sasori and Lord Orochimaru clash?"

"..."

Orochimaru slowly closed his eyes.

He really didn't want to talk about this much. He couldn't very well say that he was instantly killed by that brat Itachi Uchiha with a single genjutsu and then tortured in the genjutsu world for three days and three nights, could he?

"Let's go first."

Orochimaru didn't want to bring up this painful memory, and simply ordered, "Right now, I can't concentrate on using ninjutsu; I'm no match for Sasori..."

As for Akihara Kagura and such…

Orochimaru can only be put aside for now.

The most important thing now is to avoid Sasori's pursuit. He doesn't think Sasori is a soft-hearted guy. He probably thinks Sasori is a toy that he can play with at any time!

Kabuto Yakushi took Orochimaru to the cave where he was hiding.

Orochimaru remained lying on the ground, unable to get up or move. The aftereffects of the Tsukuyomi genjutsu were too severe, even more damaging to his reincarnated soul.

"Lord Orochimaru, it's time to take your medicine."

Kabuto took good care of Orochimaru.

In fact, Kabuto Yakushi had already realized through his diagnosis that Orochimaru had fallen victim to Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi genjutsu, because Kabuto had seen Sasuke Uchiha's case when he was in Konoha.

of course.

Kabuto Yakushi didn't mention it intentionally.

Kabuto knew perfectly well when Orochimaru would recover and what treatment methods would be needed: "Lord Orochimaru, your injuries will require at least another month..."

"I see."

Orochimaru took out a scroll and tossed it to Kabuto Yakushi: "Now I'll teach you a little trick. Inside is a precious artifact..."

"What?"

Kabuto opened the scroll, inside which was written the number three.

"The Third Generation Kazekage".

Orochimaru wasn't in the mood for riddles and quietly began to recount his achievements: "I've completed a new technique, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, a technique that can revive the dead..."

"The dead have come back to life?"

Kabuto's hand tightened.

At that moment, Kabuto Yakushi immediately understood why Akihara Kagura had sent him to infiltrate Orochimaru's side; the technique alone was of considerable value!

"I obtained some materials about the Third Kazekage from that bastard Sasori and successfully summoned him. As long as that bastard Sasori catches up, release what's inside the scroll and try to use the Third Kazekage to stop Sasori's pursuit. The only problem is that my mind can't control the Third Kazekage's will..."

Orochimaru kept rambling on about the shortcomings of this technique. He already had a hard time controlling the Third Kazekage's will, and it became even harder after being hit by Tsukuyomi.

"However... this is only temporary."

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi and continued in a deep voice, "Once my injuries heal and I perfect this technique, I can attract even more powerful individuals in the future..."

"even…"

As Orochimaru said this, a smile even appeared on his lips: "I've resurrected the legendary First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the true god of ninja, to serve me, and the resurrected dead can use endless chakra..."

"At that time..."

"Even Kagura, whom you're worried about, is no match for me."

"What a pity..."

"Since conspiracy is not an option, we'll have to resort to other means."

This is Orochimaru's trump card.

Once the Impure World Reincarnation technique is fully perfected in the future, it will be Orochimaru's trump card to suppress Akihara Kagura again and obtain her body.

After praising his forbidden technique, Orochimaru began to paint a rosy picture for his only subordinate who could help him: "Follow me closely, Kabuto. Once this technique is perfected, I can easily solve the trouble Kagura has caused you."

"That would be perfect."

Kabuto slowly lowered his head.

finally…

There is hope!

This must be the technique that Kagura needs, right?

late at night.

When Orochimaru was sleeping and resting.

Kabuto went to the river to fetch water and encountered Sasori of the Red Sand, who had come to hunt down Orochimaru. He then revealed his information to Sasori.

"Mr. Scorpion..."

"Now that I am Lord Orochimaru's doctor, I can only guarantee that Lord Orochimaru's mental injuries will heal within three months at most..."

"..."

Sasori of the Red Sand had a strange feeling.

Kabuto Yakushi's professional competence as a medical ninja is questionable! If Orochimaru hadn't been under your treatment, he probably would have recovered much faster!

"What do you need me to do?"

Sasori looked at Kabuto Yakushi and asked, "When I chase Orochimaru, should I go easy on him, or go all out?"

"most…"

"Leaving Lord Orochimaru without anyone to rely on."

Kabuto, looking at Sasori, offered a helpful reminder: "By the way, Lord Orochimaru has a puppet of the dead that seems capable of fighting Sasori..."

"That kind of thing can't threaten me."

Sasori of the Red Sand confidently shook his head. He didn't even need to use the power of the Asura Path; Orochimaru was not someone Orochimaru could handle in his current state. "I'm Orochimaru's teammate, so I roughly know what that thing is. You don't need to worry."

"Then, Mr. Scorpion, could you perhaps remove that undead puppet?"

Kabuto looked at Sasori and offered his opinion: "Completely corner Lord Orochimaru, rendering him unable to use ninjutsu, forcing him to teach me his forbidden technique in order to escape your pursuit..."

"Can."

Sasori nodded and casually tossed a small bottle to Kabuto: "My puppets are all poisoned. This is the antidote I've prepared. Keep it to save your life, and you can also learn how to make antidotes so I don't accidentally hurt you while I'm chasing you..."

First update!

It's getting a little late!

It seems like Sasori and Kabuto have switched roles! Now Sasori is Kabuto's spy!
