In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

Suddenly, several bone spikes blocked everyone's view. Kimimaro spread his arms and used a technique to shield everyone from the sandstorm.

"Kimimaro, thank you." Yamanaka Fu looked at Kimimaro gratefully, then picked up the bottle and drank the water himself; he was the thirstiest among them.

"Ha!" Yamanaka Fu smirked with satisfaction and looked in Kimimaro's direction.

"How long have you been with Orochimaru?"

“A long time.” Kimimaro remained indifferent as he turned to Yamanaka Fu.

"It's been about five years..."

"You're quite accomplished at such a young age... You don't look that old..." Shan Zhongfeng chuckled.

Yamanaka Fu was about to continue speaking when Yoriichi suddenly exuded a chilling aura, startling Yamanaka Fu.

"Lord Kenshin, you..." Yamanaka Fu suddenly became wary.

"A rebellion has broken out..." Yoriichi said calmly.

"Hiss..." Shan Zhongfeng was stunned and stood there in shock. "Just as you predicted."

"What do you mean?" Jugo stood to the side, not understanding the conversation between the two, but a hint of tension appeared in his eyes.

Judging from their expressions, this matter doesn't seem to be so simple...

Unlike Jugo, Kimimaro's face remained completely expressionless, as if he had known all along that this would happen.

He glanced at Yoriichi, a look of disbelief and shock in his eyes.

"We...go back quickly!" Yamanaka Fu's eyes sharpened as he drew his long sword.

"Hmm." Yoriichi took out a Flying Thunder God kunai from his pocket and looked at Jugo and Kimimaro.

Unexpected changes occurred; Kimimaro's emotions seemed to be off, his body was trembling, and a bone spur began to appear in his hand.

"Kimimaro-kun, what's wrong with you?" Jugo also noticed something was amiss.

Yoriichi's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at Kimimaro.

"Crack!" Kimimaro drew the bone sword from his body and thrust it straight at Yoriichi.

"Kimimaro, have you gone mad?" Yamanaka Fu's eyes widened as he stepped forward to confront him.

"Bang..." The bone knife and the longsword collided, and the two men were sent flying backward at the same time.

Kimimaro turned gracefully and stood directly on the sand. He smiled slightly and looked at Yoriichi.

"This Kenshin is just an avatar, isn't he..."

Jugo was shocked by what he had just witnessed and hurriedly looked at Kimimaro.

"Kimimaro, what... are you doing?"

Kimimaro remained calm. "I was merely acting out of loyalty to Lord Orochimaru..."

Then he continued:

"If this swordsmanship were real, he would probably have attacked me already. The reason he hasn't is..."

"Perhaps he didn't have much chakra left..." Kimimaro chuckled, his voice becoming sharp and piercing.

"Let me guess? It's probably used to complete the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Clang!" Shan Zhongfeng stepped forward immediately, a cold killing intent appearing in his eyes.

"Lord Kenshin! You and Jugo go first!" Yamanaka Fu shouted and began to attack Kimimaro continuously.

"In vain!" Kimimaro's eyelids swelled slightly, and bone spurs emerged from all directions, surrounding him like a hedgehog covered in thorns!

Yamanaka Fu's expression turned solemn, and he stopped moving forward. He formed a hand seal and activated the Mind Disorder Body Technique. Countless struggling pink marks transformed into tentacles that gradually enveloped Kimimaro.

Once Kimimaro is hit by this move, he will immediately transform into Yamanaka Fu's "puppet". This is a high-level ninjutsu of the Yamanaka clan, and very few people in the entire Yamanaka clan can master it!

Kimimaro chuckled softly, and the outline of a cursed seal began to appear on his body. Upon seeing the seal, Jugo was startled and ran straight towards Yoriichi's location.

In an instant, Kimimaro completed the second stage of the cursed seal transformation!

Transforming into a monster of sharp bone spikes, it charged toward Yoriichi. The next second, the bone spikes extended, about to pierce the throat of the person in front of it!

Yoriichi looked at Kimimaro with a faint expression, lost in memories.

Behind the Hidden Village, Yoriichi and Obito Uchiha sat on a rock, discussing matters of cooperation.

This was also something Yoriichi didn't inform his subordinates through the intercom...

“Now that we’ve covered all that, I have one more very important piece of information to tell you.” A sly glint appeared in Obito’s eyes.

"Speak, what are your terms for the exchange..." Yoriichi noticed the look in Obito's eyes and spoke.

Obito smiled. "You visited Konoha Village some time ago..."

"I believe that besides rescuing Zabuza from Kirigakure, you must have other things to do, right?"

"Otherwise, why would the dignified and cautious Karma Swordsman... take such a great risk to go to Konoha Village?"

“I can tell you, but…” Yoriichi stared at Obito.

"You should at least tell me the specific details of the intelligence you're talking about, right?"

"It's a prophecy from Fang Zun, a prophecy about the life and death of Yin Yin Village..." Obito smiled slightly, his expression behind the mask enigmatic and unfathomable.

"This intelligence is a great show of sincerity."

"What if you lie to me?" Yoriichi asked.

“I wouldn’t lie to you; this represents our sincerity in cooperating! Facts will prove it!” Obito replied.

"Of course... if you're really worried, you can be more cautious, which won't do any harm."

Yoriichi remained silent, only gazing at Obito. He didn't fully trust Obito, but through his understanding of Obito, he didn't feel that Obito was deceiving him.

In fact, he had already thought of this. Even if Obito was telling him the truth, he would be fully prepared, act cautiously, and have multiple plans in place.

“Alright... go ahead and tell me. In return, I will tell you the real and detailed information…” Yoriichi said after careful consideration.

Immediately afterwards, Yoriichi told Obito about Lingyu and Ada, mentioning Ada's clairvoyance, which confirmed that this person was indeed deadly, while concealing the matter of the scientist and the transmigrator.

"Is that so?" Obito listened carefully to Yoriichi's words, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes.

"Clairvoyance...that's indeed a very shocking piece of intelligence..."

Obito paused for a moment, then continued to look at Yoriichi.

"In return, I will give you a detailed account of... the prophecy about Fang Zun."

Chapter 97 The Dance of Ferns

Obito spoke softly:

"This information concerns Orochimaru..."

"Fang Zun prophesied that he would rebel one day in the future, the exact day being... three days after you leave Yin Yin Village!"

Yuan was greatly surprised; he hadn't expected Fang Zun to be able to predict that he would leave Yin Yin Village for a period of time...

A sense of tension and anxiety arose in his heart. Fang Zun's terrifying ability was in no way inferior to Ada's. Apart from his low combat power, Fang Zun's strength and utility were unbelievably high.

Yoriichi suddenly had an idea: after controlling Shimura Danzo with Kotoamatsukami, there was actually another Kotoamatsukami eye hidden in Danzo's eye. Using this eye, he could activate Kotoamatsukami again...

On the day he went to the Uchiha basement, Yoriichi swapped the Sharingan of his clansmen with that of Danzo Shimura. Now, he possesses the Sharingan of Kotoamatsukami, the strongest genjutsu.

If Fang Zun can be controlled using this eye, then aside from the part with the barrier, most of the information in this world will be clearly under his control...

After thinking it over, Yoriichi continued to listen to Obito speak. At this moment, Obito's words gained a certain degree of credibility in Yoriichi's mind.

“Orochimaru will launch a rebellion, kill Danzo Shimura, and trap the members of Root. By then, you won’t be able to save them until you return… Ultimately, you will be powerless to reverse the situation,” Obito Uchiha said.

Yoriichi frowned. He still agreed with Obito's words, not for any other reason than that Orochimaru knew the Impure World Reincarnation technique. In the original work, Orochimaru possessed the genes of the First and Second Hokage, which meant that... he could use it to summon the two Hokage at any time.

Although it's unknown whether Orochimaru currently possesses the genes of either of them, Yoriichi cannot gamble on this. If he gambles wrong, his entire family will lose. There's also a terrifying possibility: if Orochimaru, while Yoriichi is away, secretly assassinates his subordinates and members of the Ryougi clan, he could then summon them back using the Impure World Reincarnation technique...

With so many Kage-level powerhouses, Yoriichi couldn't possibly handle them all by himself...

"Finally, taking advantage of this opportunity, Konoha and the Land of Water began their invasion of Kagehime Village... The final result was..." Obito smiled.

Yoriichi immediately realized that if internal strife broke out in Kagehira, external forces would seize the opportunity to infiltrate, and even with the combined power of two Hokage, Orochimaru would be powerless to reverse the situation...

By then, his opponents will have changed from himself to two major nations. Based on Orochimaru's strength in his previous life, his chances of winning are 0%.

Not to mention that Konoha will definitely send Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Third Hokage—three Kage-level figures—the Land of Water will also have Kagami, Mei Terumi, Chojuro, and the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Orochimaru's strength is less than Fang Zun's. Even if the others team up to hold off the two Kage and the others, Fang Zun alone can defeat Orochimaru. The people around Orochimaru are at most at the level of the Anbu. Kabuto Yakushi, the big boss, has definitely not yet obtained the inheritance of Ryuchi Cave.

In fact, he could not possibly obtain it. If he went to Ryuchi Cave, Yoriichi would personally stop him, or even... kill him.

“The intelligence is good…” Yoriichi smiled slightly.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you, Karma Blade Heart." After saying this, Obito stood up and prepared to leave.

After that, Yoriichi decided to stay in the Hidden Shadow Village instead of going to the Land of Wind in person. He sent an avatar to the Land of Wind and also invited Yamanaka Fu, Kimimaro, and Jugo along.

Yoriichi's true form used the Snake Concealment Technique to remain in the Hidden Shadow Village, observing everyone's every move, while simultaneously training the new skill he obtained from gacha draws, the SSR card [Naruto Uzumaki]'s Sage Art: Giant Rasengan (Sage Mode).

Through this technique, Yoriichi indirectly learned the initial form of the Rasengan. Then, he incorporated his own chakra, pure fire chakra, and completed the nature change within three days!

As for the departure from the Land of Wind, the name Yamanaka Fu was chosen to test Orochimaru. With both him and Yamanaka Fu absent, the Hidden Shadow Village was practically a disorganized mess. Furthermore, Yamanaka Fu could confuse the situation, and since Yoriichi's clone did not possess Yoriichi's purest chakra, it would be easy for Orochimaru to discover the clues.

Yoriichi then bestowed a portion of his chakra upon Yamanaka Fu, allowing Yamanaka Fu and his clone to travel together, thereby paralyzing Orochimaru.

The reason for summoning Kimimaro was twofold: firstly, to recruit him into their camp, and secondly, to confirm to Kimimaro that Yoriichi before him was indeed the true "Kenshin"... thus giving Orochimaru the illusion that he was capable of rebellion once again.

Finally, Jugo was called upon... for...

"Bang!" Jugo stood in front of Yoriichi, activating his second stage. His body turned light gray, like an unyielding rock.

Kimimaro's eyes narrowed; his bone spurs hadn't even caused the slightest harm to Jugo's body.

Is this... the purest power of the cursed seal?

"Whoosh!" A voice came from behind.

Kimimaro reacted instantly, dodging the rapid attack from the mountain wind, which was like a wildly swung whip.

Yoriichi's clone smiled and carefully observed the battle.

"Jugo, go and realize your value," Yoriichi said calmly.
