The moment the Soul Retention Technique failed, Orochimaru knew his chance had come, and he immediately used the Super S-Rank Forbidden Technique "Spirit Transformation Technique".
After temporarily transforming his soul into a spirit body and gaining the ability to interfere with reality, Orochimaru used the cursed seal of Mitarashi Anko in Konoha Village to revive himself.
"Ha, instead of running away immediately after being resurrected, you're coming towards me?"
"If I don't get close, how will I know all the interesting things about Naruto-kun?"
"Then why don't you come a little closer?"
After hearing Naruto's words, Orochimaru actually slowly walked over.
"Otama Rasengan!"
"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand!"
boom!
Orochimaru was sent flying and was on the verge of death.
Soon after, another Orochimaru crawled out of the original body.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Naruto-kun, there are many ways to atone for our sins. Wouldn't it be better if we could find a way that satisfies both of us?"

"What atonement? You have no awareness of your own sins at all; you just want to know my secrets," Naruto sneered.
Orochimaru initially wanted to say, "So-called evil and justice are nothing but children's fantasies," but then he realized that Naruto's personality might lead him to kill him upon hearing this.
Ah, he's already condensing the next Giant Rasengan.
"Naruto-kun, I can help you explore how to become the Lord of the Pure Land. I have quite a bit of knowledge about souls." Orochimaru quickly tried to prove his worth.
But Naruto shook his head: "I'll do it myself, it'll just take a little more time."
"But I have prepared a lot of information related to the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and I have even improved the technique once. Don't you want to see it?"
"Do not want to."
At this point, Naruto looked at Orochimaru with some confusion: "Did you come all this way just to say this? If you had just run away, you might have lived a few more days, although I would definitely have found you and killed you with my own hands, so that you would never have a chance to be resurrected."
Orochimaru grinned: "Because I crave immortality."
"Naruto-kun, everything you've shown so far has fascinated me."
"Then when I become the Lord of the Pure Land, I will crush your soul completely in the first instance, leaving you with no possibility of immortality," Naruto said expressionlessly.
Orochimaru remained silent.
He had no doubt that with Naruto's abilities, he would one day become the so-called Lord of the Pure Land, and he didn't seem to have any bargaining chips to impress him at the moment.
Furthermore, judging from Naruto's personality, he values things like justice and evil quite a bit. In Naruto's eyes, he is undoubtedly the kind of person who deserves to go to the eighteenth level of hell.
However, he desperately wanted to achieve immortality, and he saw that possibility in Naruto.
Then Orochimaru pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Naruto-kun, I have a suggestion."
Naruto didn't reply, but walked over with the Giant Rasengan in hand, seemingly too lazy to listen to him anymore.
Seeing this, Orochimaru had no choice but to quickly offer his suggestion: "You could have Sasuke use that eye technique that burns with evil on me..."
Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, the Giant Rasengan slammed down upon him.
After he finished smashing it, Naruto finally understood what Orochimaru was saying, and he couldn't believe it: "You have this kind of masochistic fetish?"
Orochimaru, using the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique once again, didn't even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth before speaking, as if afraid it would be too late if he didn't.
"Since Naruto-kun thinks I am sinful, then let this be my punishment. Let me suffer the pain of being burned forever."
All I want is to continue my research.
Naruto fell silent.
This was the first time he had ever heard someone make such a request.
But when you really think about it, it actually works.
He had this idea when he was talking to the senior Hokage about how to resolve hatred.
The reason it hasn't been implemented yet is mainly because there are so many people in the world, and there are probably quite a few who are sinful, so Sasuke's eye power is likely not enough.
But if it's only used on Orochimaru once, it might actually work?
"I'll go get Sasuke." Naruto left these words behind and disappeared with a kunai.
A few dozen seconds later, he returned with Sasuke.
"The Flying Thunder God Technique? Naruto-kun is indeed a genius," Orochimaru flattered.
Naruto ignored him and instead told Sasuke about Orochimaru's idea.
Sasuke fell silent after hearing this, and couldn't help but glance at Orochimaru a few more times.
Is this person a masochist?
However, Sasuke soon felt eager to try it out.
After activating the Kaleidoscope, Shiken has used it many times, but Mokujin has only used it once and it hasn't had any effect yet.
He was also curious about the effects of the Calamity Day.
Seeing Naruto nod, Sasuke and Naruto then distanced themselves from Orochimaru.
"Let me make this clear beforehand: the Calamity Day will continue until the evil is completely burned away, and the pain will be far more intense than that of ordinary flames," Sasuke warned.
"Come on, what's a little pain compared to immortality?" Orochimaru said confidently.
"The charge...human experimentation, a calamity that will bring disaster to Tianjin!"
Golden flames ignited on Orochimaru's body in an instant, scorching his flesh and soul.
"what!!!"
Even a powerful figure like Orochimaru couldn't help but scream in agony when struck by the Calamity.
At first, Orochimaru was able to grit his teeth and persevere, biting his lip so hard that he didn't even realize he was bleeding.
Later, Orochimaru even rolled around on the ground frantically, pounding his chest and scratching his face to distract himself, drawing blood, only to be instantly healed by Mokuzuhi.
But his obsession with immortality keeps him going.
He tried using medical ninjutsu or water-style ninjutsu, but neither had any effect whatsoever.
This feeling was extremely unbearable. Orochimaru had undergone rigorous training and torture, and he had suffered countless injuries on the battlefield, but all of that combined was not even a fraction of the pain he was experiencing now.
"When...when will my sins be burned away?"
Sasuke scoffed, "You haven't even gone to atone for your sins, so what makes you think you can burn everything?"
Orochimaru was stunned upon hearing this.
Naruto understood.
In other words, Orochimaru must first endure the "first stage"—endless suffering—in order to eliminate the curse of the Hidden Sun.
Once he gets a little used to it, he enters the "second stage"—he can get through it by willpower while still having the time to think.
After a while, the "third stage" will begin—the stage where one can endure the burning pain of the calamity to act and atone for one's sins, and only then will the calamity be lifted.
As for how long each of these three stages will take, how atonement will be done, how long atonement will take, and whether the object of atonement will already be dead...
This is the problem Orochimaru needs to consider.
Orochimaru clearly realized this as well, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.
He even began attempting suicide, spitting out the Kusanagi sword and using it to cut off his own head.
Orochimaru still harbored illusions: to abandon this body and reincarnate through the cursed seal.
However, his speed in beheading was not as fast as the speed at which he healed the calamity.
He then tried bombarding himself with ninjutsu, but it still had no effect.
In fact, even if he successfully abandoned this body, it would be useless, because the Calamity Sun affects both the body and the soul, and will continue to burn forever following the target.
After several tens of minutes and multiple unsuccessful attempts to commit suicide, Orochimaru finally approached a breakdown.
"Kill me! Naruto! Sasuke! Please, kill me!"
Is this still the same Orochimaru?
The terrifying effect made Naruto and Sasuke swallow hard.
"If you don't kill me, I'll kill you all!" Orochimaru roared as he charged forward.
At this point, Orochimaru was on the verge of a mental breakdown and couldn't even use ninjutsu. He was kicked away by Sasuke.
At that moment, Naruto suddenly had an idea: if the healing effect of the Calamity Sun could be broken due to excessive damage, it would be terrible.
With that in mind, Naruto decided to test Orochimaru and make the most of him.
"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"
Naruto didn't go too far at first, fearing that Orochimaru would die and cause the Calamity Sun to lose its effectiveness.
Orochimaru's body was quickly sliced apart by the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken; normally, it would have been cut in two long ago.
However, due to the calamity of the day, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken cut a part of Orochimaru's body into countless small pieces, but it was restored in the next second.
"Again, Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"
With the enhancement of Sage Mode, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken's power increased even further, but it still failed to achieve any effect.
Seeing this, Naruto felt somewhat relieved and activated Sage Mode.
"Sage Art: Wind Release: Great Ball Rasenshuriken!"
The techniques that were once comparable to a typhoon are now being used on Orochimaru alone, like a meat grinder.
However, when the smoke cleared, Orochimaru, fully recovered, reappeared in front of Naruto.
Naruto was shocked. Even with his destructive power, he couldn't kill Orochimaru directly. It seems there's no need to worry about the early removal of the Calamity Sun.
At that moment, Orochimaru crawled over, trembling as he grabbed Naruto's ankle, pleading, "Naruto... please continue destroying my body with your ninjutsu... don't stop..."
