Chapter 388 Two Villains, Each with Their Own Hidden agendas

"Is it a 'hollow circle'?"

Orochimaru chewed on those two words.

He opened his mouth wide and spat out a bone mask that was on the verge of breaking and whose edges were still crumbling.

This is Aizen's sincerity.

It was a Hollow mask brought from Hueco Mundo to the Shinobi World at great cost.

only……

The world rules are different, and although Aizen did his best, he still couldn't stop the Hollow Mask from dissipating.

Fortunately, my guess was right.

The necromancer Orochimaru would definitely be interested in Hollows, especially since this mask comes from the powerful Adjuchas.

"Are there many undead creatures like this in Hueco Mundo?"

Orochimaru's lips curled up, and his dark golden pupils, like those of a snake, reflected Aizen's shadow.

I don't care about being used.

Just like when they readily accepted Danzo's attempts to win them over, didn't they ever think that they would be betrayed by Danzo afterward?

Of course I've thought about it.

But Orochimaru didn't take him seriously.

He only cares about things that interest him. As for worldly shackles, the Will of Fire, the female body resurrected by the Corpse Reincarnation, and the traitor who is cursed by everyone?

It doesn't matter.

"Enough for Orochimaru's research."

Aizen pushed up the frame of his glasses, the mirror reflecting light and obscuring his vision.

An ambiguous answer.

In fact,

Despite the seemingly amicable negotiation atmosphere, both sides were testing each other.

Orochimaru, the enemy who once destroyed Konoha, appeared naked in the Hokage Building, not even bothering to conceal the death aura emanating from his body.

If it alerts the Shadow Organization or other ninjas.

The negotiations will then break down.

A partner who can't even conceal Orochimaru's presence is not worth negotiating with.

But until now,

Below, the bustling streets were teeming with people. Konoha, which had been revitalized by Aizen's actions, was now a hive of activity.

But no one noticed the conversation taking place on the rooftop.

Orochimaru appears to be thinking,

In fact, he had already made his decision the moment he appeared. He laughed and said in a hoarse voice, "Breaking through the barriers of space, huh? What a crazy and bold decision."

"Even in another world, Aizen, you'd still be an outcast, rejected by everyone, wouldn't you?"

"That's incredibly rude. I'm a captain of the Soul Society, protecting the Soul Society within the Seireitei. My colleagues all adore me."

finally,

Aizen offered Orochimaru five Adjuchas necromancy materials per month as payment in exchange for Orochimaru's help.

Lower your head,

On the palm of his right hand, there is a small cursed snake bite mark, which is said to be a mark used as a means of intelligence communication.

Three black magatama encircling it.

If Mitarashi Anko were there, she would definitely go berserk.

Heavenly Curse Seal.

Once branded, one can never escape Orochimaru's control, and can even be reborn directly within the body of the person being branded through the cursed seal.

especially,

This Heavenly Curse Seal is completely different from the original work, incorporating Orochimaru's understanding of necromancy, making it even more powerful.

"Just a trivial skill..."

Aizen's gaze was calm, and his body emitted a faint white light, indicating that his Shinigami spirit had left his body.

The body collapsed to the ground, limp.

The curse mark in the palm of his hand disappeared.

Aizen opened his palm and found that even though he was separated from his Gikai, the black magatama was still firmly imprinted on his palm.

"How interesting, Mr. Orochimaru!"

There was no panic, nor any fear.

Aizen, who had always treated everything with gentleness, had a rare gleam in his eyes and laughed loudly, "I look forward to our next collaboration."

the other side,

A black snake covered in incantations appeared beside Orochimaru, accompanied by séance smoke.

"Lord Orochimaru, the advance team has found a Gold-level Corrupted Zombie that we cannot defeat."

The speaker looked at Orochimaru, who sat in the head seat, with awe.

Destroy Konoha with swift and decisive action, promote civilian ninjas, and transform the ninja village into a ninja empire.

The strongest ninja in the world.

"Understood. Send me the map coordinates later, and I'll take care of it."

Orochimaru wore a smile, and although he exuded a chilling aura of death, it did not diminish his unique personal charm.

Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was indecisive,

Unlike Danzo Shimura, who turned ninjas into cold, emotionless tools.

Orochimaru is like a mentor who teaches according to aptitude, uncovering the value of those he teaches.

"The meeting is now adjourned."

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Orochimaru's smile faded slightly as he stared at the summoned cursed snake.

These cursed snakes,

They are all products of necromancy, each imbued with his spirit and will, and can be considered extensions of Orochimaru's limbs.

"Aizen, huh? Such clumsy methods really disappoint me..."

Cursed Serpent negotiating with Aizen

A very thin layer of illusion was applied to him, and although he could control his five senses, he was completely unable to cause Orochimaru any trouble.

Necromancer

If the mage is not killed directly, the mage, who is weak in the early stages and can only stitch together a few skeletons, can silently assemble an undead army.

Orochimaru is now clearly able to demonstrate the existence of the Sea of ​​the Dead to the world.

The cursed snake used to transmit information

He was just the weakest member of the undead legion, someone they could create with a flick of their wrist.

boom.

Orochimaru flicked his finger, crushing the cursed snake that Aizen had cast [Kyoka Suigetsu] on, sending it exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

But who knows,

The faint illusory fluctuations did not disappear with the death of the cursed serpent.

Instead, like a maggot clinging to a bone, it tried to entangle Orochimaru's mind along the last faint spiritual pull.

At critical moments,

Orochimaru broke off his little finger and channeled necromancy energy into it.

A lively, wriggling cursed serpent was created.

hum.

The illusion from the mirror image was cast upon the newly created cursed serpent.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Orochimaru suddenly laughed and said in a low voice, "I underestimated you, Aizen-kun. I'm very sorry."

……

Naval Alliance Fourth Detachment

Aokiji looked helplessly at the game map [General's Tomb] that had been claimed by someone else, and hesitated.

According to the established rules among players,

Whoever finds the monster's lair first gets to keep it.

This is done to prevent players from killing and clashing with each other. After all, there is a penalty system, and if players kill each other too much, there will be very severe penalties.

The navy, in particular, which displays a "will of justice," strictly adheres to established rules.

just,

The zombies inside the General's Tomb were actually Dark Gold-level [Ghost Generals].

Moreover, the first player to discover the tomb was the Straw Hat Pirates, a pirate force hostile to the Navy.

This situation,

Established rules begin to become ambiguous.

That is, the blue pheasant.

If it were Akainu, he probably wouldn't even hesitate and would immediately activate [Flame Demon: Meteor Volcano] to control the field.

"Long time no see, Nico Robin."

Exhaling a cool mist, Aokiji looked at the Devil Child, who was being protected by the Straw Hat Pirates.

did not expect,

The orphans of Ohara who were released back then have also become players, and it seems they are on the opposite side of the Navy.

Images of the gunfire and flames that engulfed O'Hara flashed through my mind.

And his best friend, who desperately tried to stop him, but was killed by his own hands...

I feel increasingly lost.

How exactly should the will to justice be carried out?
