Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 454 Master Orochimaru

"Chiyo, I heard you developed a ninjutsu called -Reanimation Jutsu -?"

After the meeting ended, Li Yaofeng used his clone to call out to Chiyo, who was about to leave.

"How did you know, Lord Kazekage?"

Chiyo looked puzzled. She had developed the Reincarnation Jutsu, and even her younger brother didn't know about it. How could the Fourth Kazekage know?

"Is it finished?" Li Yaofeng asked, using his clone.

"Not yet, but it will be soon," Chiyo replied.

"That's good." Li Yaofeng smiled as he used his clone to say, "Show it to me as soon as it's finished."

"Yes, Lord Kazekage." Chiyo, who had already been affected by Kotoamatsukami, agreed to Li Yao's request for a Wind Release clone without any hesitation.

Reincarnation, the secret technique used in the original work to revive the already deceased Gaara. Li Yaofeng's clone has some guesses that this ninjutsu might involve the soul. After Chiyo finishes developing it, he will come over to see if it can help improve the soul abilities of the main body.

"Sir, where have you been all this time?"

On the way home, Ye Yi rubbed Shouhe's chubby face, which looked utterly dejected, and asked the question that had been bothering her.

"I'm going to learn a ninjutsu," Li Yaofeng's clone casually said.

Ye Yi just wanted an answer; what that answer was didn't matter. Afterward, she didn't ask Li Yaofeng where his clone went.

The two arrived home, where the two ninjas who had been guarding and imprisoning Ye Yi arrived with their wives, mothers, and sisters—four women in total—standing behind the AB ninjas, looking anxious and uneasy.

"Wind...Lord Kazekage!"

The four women stammered as they greeted Li Yaofeng's clone. They were clearly aware of what their husbands and sons had done to the Fourth Kazekage's wife, and now, upon seeing Li Yaofeng's clone, they could barely speak.

"Go in."

Li Yaofeng smiled, opened the door and went in. The two guarding ninjas' expressions changed, and they wanted to say something but couldn't.

An hour later.

The door opened, and two still-attractive women each held a small pug in their arms.

The puppy writhed in his arms, while Li Yaofeng's clone, completely naked, stood facing the gate, gritting his teeth, his two angry little eyes bloodshot.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard the puppy tried, it was no match for the two women and was held firmly in their arms.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Kazekage. I will definitely take good care of Little A."

"Me too."

The two women, holding the small dog in their arms, thanked Li Yaofeng for using his clone.

"Remember, these two puppies can only eat feces and drink urine. Don't feed them anything else, or they will get diarrhea."

Li Yaofeng used his clone to kindly remind him.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage, I understand." The two women each held down the two small dogs struggling wildly in their arms and said in unison.

"Okay, go ahead." Li Yaofeng's clone nodded with a smile, watching the two little dogs, their eyes filled with fear, disappear into the distance.

Not bad!

Li Yaofeng escaped into the body and mind path.

At the same time.

Iwagakure's Earth Release clone, Ishii, has finished its meeting and is preparing to personally go to Kumogakure to sign a peace agreement with the Fourth Raikage.

Compared to the conflicts in Sunagakure, Earth Release clone - Ishii didn't have as many troubles in Iwagakure.

Earth Release Clone - After Ishii disappeared, the entire village was searching for him.

It can be said that the people of Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village) were quite good at dealing with Earth Release clone - Ishii.

However, when the Earth Release clone, Ishii, proposed to seize some of the mineral resources of the Daimyo Prefecture, it was met with opposition from everyone.

There was no other way but to persuade the opponents, Ishii, who used Earth Release: Clone Technique, activated the All-Out Awakening technique.

The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Sand Village have already been dealt with by clones, leaving only the Hidden Leaf Village.

……

Western part of the land of rivers.

Since Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, joined the battle, Konoha has pushed the front line here.

Lightning Release Clone - White Fang's Gray Ruined Lightning, with its powerful and infectious attack, is very effective against Sasori's Sand Iron Lightning Boundary.

In the end, if Sasori hadn't perfected the Shukaku puppet and developed the Tailed Beast Ball, the battle lines would have been pushed all the way to the Land of Wind.

After the disappearance of the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, the battle lines were pushed back for a time, but fortunately Orochimaru was strong enough to hold them off.

However, the disappearance of Lightning Release clone White Fang still caused a huge uproar within Konoha.

Especially Tsunade, who had only recently confessed her feelings to her Lightning Release clone, White Fang, when her lover disappeared, which constantly reminded her of the scene of her younger brother, Nawaki, dying in front of her.

Fear, terror, and other emotions overwhelmed Tsunade, making her feelings for her Lightning Release clone, White Fang, even more intense.

For the past month, Tsunade has been searching for her Lightning Release clone, White Fang, throughout the Land of Rivers. Having witnessed the power of the gray, broken lightning, she believes that White Fang is not dead, but rather trapped somewhere, waiting for her to rescue him.

"Lady Tsunade, Lord White Fang is back!"

One of the ninjas who had come out with Tsunade to search for the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, ran over from a distance and, before even reaching Tsunade, relayed the message from headquarters.

Their esteemed Lord White Fang has returned and is currently at headquarters.

"What did you say?"

"Brother Zuoyun is back?"

Tsunade instantly appeared in front of the ninja, grabbed his shoulder, and showed a look of surprise.

"Uh...yes...yes, Lady White Fang is at the headquarters right now." The ninja being grabbed by Tsunade looked pained; Lady Tsunade's strength was too great.

Fortunately, Tsunade immediately released him upon confirming that her Lightning Release clone, White Fang, had returned, and sped off towards the main camp.

The three ninjas who came with her chased after her with all their might, but in the end they could only watch her figure disappear from sight.

base camp.

Inside the large tent at the central camp.

Lightning Release clones - White Fang and Orochimaru sit facing each other.

"Zakumo-kun, where have you been for the past month? You've made everyone quite worried." Orochimaru asked with concern, but his eyes were filled with observation.

He suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared. If Orochimaru hadn't gained some chakra perception after acquiring Wood Release, he really wouldn't have been sure that the person in front of him was Hatake Sagumo.

It's not that my appearance has changed much, but the feeling... is a little different.

Orochimaru couldn't figure out exactly what was different, so he was very curious about where the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, had gone during the month he was missing.

After all, in the same few days that Lightning Release clone White Fang disappeared, the youngest clan leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, also disappeared.

Although the two were thousands of miles apart and on different battlefields, they disappeared almost at the same time, so it's hard to say there was no connection between them.

Facing Orochimaru's probing gaze, Lightning Release clone White Fang returned a smile, and then, under Orochimaru's kind gaze, softly said, "Kotoamatsukami."

"Wh...Master!"

After his initial shock, Orochimaru immediately addressed his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, as "Master."

Lightning Release Clone - White Fang is too lazy to explain, he simply uses the God of War to clear the way.

At the same time, Lightning Release clone - White Fang, or rather Li Yao, wanted to see if Orochimaru, whose will had been altered by Kotoamatsukami, could still possess that scientific ninjutsu mind.
