"It hurts~" she said.

Shenyue Xingyun: "Endure it."

After saying that, the chakra surged forth with increasing intensity.

The power of the cursed seal is immense, further enhanced by natural energy, making it difficult to unleash. The Divine Moon Nebula could only continuously increase its energy output.

Visibly, Mitarashi Anko's face grew paler and paler, and a fine layer of sweat quickly seeped from her forehead.

Then came a scream of pain.

Her voice was so loud that Shenyue Xingyun had to cast a barrier to isolate the sound in the room.

However, Uzuki Yugao, who was standing nearby, could hear it.

Her face flushed red, and she couldn't help but reach out to support Mitarashi Anko's shoulder, saying with concern, "Anko, keep your voice down."

Mitarashi Anko's eyes welled up with tears as she cried, "It hurts!"

Uzuki Yugao thought to herself, "Even if it hurts, you can't scream like that."

She was almost overwhelmed by what she heard.

"Alright, all done," Shenyue Xingyun said. "It's all over."

A faint wisp of dark energy lingered around Mitarashi Anko's wrist, slowly dissipating over time.

"Parker, try to remember this scent." With these words from Shingetsu Nebula, Parker immediately stepped forward, not daring to get too close, but only sniffing lightly from a distance.

"OK~ No problem."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Hongdou, Xiyan, you two should rest first."

"Parker, come with me."

Chapter 448 Kushina's Shock

Finding Orochimaru is no easy task.

Although Parker could remember Orochimaru's scent and information, he had to search close to the ground. Even the Golden-Winged Black Eagle couldn't ride the Divine Moon Nebula, so its efficiency was naturally slow.

In any case, it's much better than aimlessly searching or waiting for news.

Two days later.

Border of the Land of Fire.

Parker ran faster and faster through the woods.

"hurry up!"

"The smell is very strong; it should be up ahead."

Upon hearing Parker's reminder, Shingetsu Nebula released her senses.

Soon, at the edge of his perception range of five kilometers, he sensed a significant energy fluctuation.

The fluctuations weren't limited to one person, but one in particular stood out as particularly powerful and carrying a chilling aura; it was undoubtedly Orochimaru.

Shingetsu Nebula told Pakkun to wait for him. He placed his sword finger between his eyebrows and, following the energy fluctuations he sensed, unleashed a surge of chakra.

Meanwhile, five kilometers away.

Orochimaru sat on a fallen tree trunk, his gaze fixed on the campfire before him.

"Gather our strength and establish a ninja village."

Orochimaru muttered to himself.

"One's own strength is ultimately limited."

"Research requires a lot of resources and manpower."

"Konoha is not suitable for me, and relying on other forces is not a long-term solution."

"We must have our own strength."

The firelight flickered in his serpentine eyes, reflecting his ambition.

Just as he was envisioning a grand future, the firelight flickered.

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes suddenly snapped upwards!

In a flash, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

Upon recognizing the person who approached, Orochimaru suppressed his surprise and panic, and smiled.

"nebula."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Shingetsu Seiun looked at Orochimaru in front of him and let out a soft breath.

"Yes, it's been a long time."

Seeing that Shingetsu Seiun had no intention of suddenly drawing his sword, Orochimaru felt somewhat relieved and quickly pondered the purpose of the other party's visit.

Although he and Shenyue Xingyun knew each other, so much time had passed that they were no longer considered close friends.

He had barely left Konoha when the latter caught up with him so quickly, which clearly showed that they were in a great hurry.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You came for the red beans?"

Only then did he vaguely recall that Mitarashi Anko had indeed mentioned the name Shinzuki Seiun a few times in front of him.

Could it be that the two have a close relationship?

“Not entirely,” Shenyue Xingyun said truthfully.

"I've called you here for two things."

"First, take back the curse mark on the red bean."

"Second, help me resurrect someone using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Orochimaru narrowed his snake-like eyes: "Heh~"

"Nebula, you really don't hold back at all."

Shenyue Xingyun: "You've already been very polite."

"If it weren't for the fact that you resurrected me with Edo Tensei last time, I would have promised to remember your kindness. Just for the curse mark you placed on Anko, I would have already drawn my sword."

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly.

He then said, "Since you have already obtained the Impure World Reincarnation technique, why do you still need my help?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "...For personal reasons, I cannot explain."

Orochimaru paused for two seconds, then said, "Alright."

"I can help you with the Impure World Reincarnation."

"As for the cursed seal... in fact, the cursed seal greatly enhances a ninja's abilities, which is also a good thing for Anko."

Shenyue Xingyun: "I don't care about any of that."

"I only care about the results. The curse mark on the red bean cannot be left."

"Orochimaru, I'm not discussing this with you."

The target of the cursed seal could become a vessel for Orochimaru's reincarnation, and Shingetsu Seiun could not take that risk.

Sensing Shingetsu Seiun's unquestionable attitude, Orochimaru had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him and agree to his demands.

He asked, "Then let's use the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Are the materials ready?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "No."

"There's still time; we haven't found a suitable death row inmate yet."

Orochimaru paused for a moment: "Did you bring the organization of the reincarnated ones?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "I brought it."

Orochimaru: "It's fine as long as you bring it."

"As for death row inmates—I do have a suitable alternative."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll and gently unfurled it on the ground.

On the scroll were arranged fist-sized psychic spells.

Orochimaru put his finger in his mouth, bit it until it bled, formed a hand seal, and pressed it onto the summoning jutsu seal.

"Spiritual communication!"

"Bang!~"

As the smoke drifted by, a white figure trapped by sealing runes appeared before the two.

Upon seeing this figure, Shenyue Xingyun's expression changed drastically.

"Where did you get this thing?"

The white figure was covered in sealing runes and was still struggling faintly. Its exposed skin and pale face were all too familiar to Shen Yue Xingyun.

It's a White Zetsu!

Where did Orochimaru get this thing from?

Orochimaru looked at Shingetsu Seiun with surprise: "You recognize this thing?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "This is the first time I've seen this."

Orochimaru: "I previously joined an organization."

“There’s someone in the organization who always has this thing with him; I find it quite interesting.”

"I picked up some of them when I left later."

"Just a casual gesture?" Shen Yue Xingyun glanced at the scroll, noting that one of the summoning spells had disappeared, leaving more than ten. Her eyes twitched slightly. "It really was a casual gesture, huh?"

Orochimaru smiled.

"This thing is very interesting."
