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

Until one day, this idea was suddenly interrupted...

Always possessing a fighting spirit, the younger sister, a role model for her brother, constantly resisted everything until disaster completely befell her.

My sister... suddenly suffered a terrible blow.

She died, killed by their bullying; her life ended with a single, loud crash.

Perhaps it was despair, but even the most capable older brother, the most show-off brother, the proudest and most competent brother in the family, couldn't stop it from happening.

If even such a powerful older brother could be defeated by them, who can save her?

At the funeral, Yoriichi shed tears of regret. If only he could have let go of his stubbornness that day and told her that his brother had not actually been defeated.

If the older brother can help him... wouldn't the younger sister be less desperate?

The perpetrator of the incident did not receive the punishment he deserved. Everything was so dark. Yoriichi remembered the dark room he was locked in when he was a child. It was when he was playing with his friends that they jokingly locked him in a narrow, empty, dark room.

Yoriichi cried out, but received no response. Everyone had long forgotten about him, leaving only his mother frantically crying as she brought him out of the unconscious room.

The time he spent inside stirred up Yoriichi's deepest fears.

At this moment, the gloom in his heart seemed to weigh heavily on him again, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Boom!" Thunder rumbled amidst the cries of his parents. The dark sky was filled with the pouring rain, like the tears of mourners.

Yoriichi stood up, his head throbbing. He had been kneeling there for so long, and all his tears had been shed.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to the bathroom..." Yoriichi said hoarsely, staggering out of the house.

The air was fresh during the thunderstorm, and the strong wind made Yoriichi feel cool all over. He quietly felt all of this and looked up at the dark sky.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry..." Yoriichi closed his eyes, letting his tears fall with the rain.

Immediately afterwards, he went back to his kitchen and took out a sharp kitchen knife.

He stumbled out, as if he had made up his mind.

“Actually, my brother is a brave person…” Yoriichi raised his head and gave an awkward smile to the rain.

That day, he rushed out and slashed at those who had bullied his sister...

In the darkness, Yoriichi, covered in blood, lay quietly on a dark curb, facing the approaching UAV, and closed his eyes contentedly.

This world... is bleak...

Before he died, Yoriichi thought of Obito from Naruto, and he was probably in the same state of mind as Obito.

But Obito possessed powers that Obito lacked, and he didn't need to live within the established order...

Ultimately, the answer to everything lies in the hands of power...

If only I had that power, I could protect the people around me...

If only the world's powerful served the good and kind, then evil wouldn't gradually replace the beautiful world...

Suddenly, Yoriichi snapped out of his reverie and realized that after that day, he had come to this world, a Naruto world that also revered the strong and was even more cruel.

Fortunately, he appeared within the Uchiha clan...

They possessed the power to stand at the forefront of the world...

If that's the case, what's there to hesitate about?

"Isn't all that hard training every day for this moment, Yoriichi?" Yoriichi removed his tattered mask, revealing his clean and cold face.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed forward without regard for anything else.

Now that he possesses power, he is no longer as cowardly as before...

Now that we have the power to save our comrades, let's give it our all!

Chapter 111 Businessman

Yoriichi remained calm and composed, his chakra circulating rapidly within his body.

Lingyu stood to the side, at a loss, observing Yoriichi's state.

"I'm going in, Lingyu. As for you, you can run away if you want, or fight me to the death." Yoriichi's voice was firm as he stared intently at Orochimaru.

"I have the second stage of the Snake Concealment Technique. We can survive one of the Top Transformation Buddhas. It all depends on your decision." Before Yoriichi finished speaking, he had already rushed over alone.

He immediately activated Phantom Body Flicker, his entire body shooting straight at Orochimaru like a cannonball.

On the other side, Lingyu gritted her teeth slightly, watched Yoriichi's departing figure, and rushed forward as well.

"Who are you underestimating? I'm incredibly powerful!"

With a roar, a hundred marks appeared on her face. She pushed off with her feet and flew out like a whirlwind.

"You guys are quite courageous, but you lack intelligence..." In the distance, Orochimaru's pupils narrowed, turning into boundless joy.

"Once I transform you into a body resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the entire world... will belong to me!"

"Aren't we being too confident?" A voice rang out beside Orochimaru, causing him to widen his eyes in surprise.

A man wielding a long sword thrusts straight at Orochimaru, who desperately dodges and leaps into the air.

On the ground, Shan Zhongfeng arrived at the scene. His eyes were cold, and he was wearing a black robe, giving him the style of a dark assassin.

"Teacher Yamanaka Fu!" Lingyu exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Yamanaka Fu's imposing figure.

Yoriichi smiled slightly, knowing that this would increase their chances of winning by one point.

Orochimaru's expression was extremely cold.

Do you think I'm that easy to lose?

"No...this is all wrong!" Suddenly, a large number of threads appeared in Orochimaru's body. The threads radiated out and directly tore Orochimaru's body apart, allowing him to dodge Yoriichi's bewildered flame chakra's soaring punch.

Yoriichi turned around and stared at Orochimaru, who was connected by threads, his pupils shrinking sharply.

"This is?"

Orochimaru suddenly burst into laughter, "Did you think I didn't make any preparations?"

Prepare for defeat!

Lingyu's gaze sharpened. She stopped in her tracks and said with some surprise:

"It's puppetization..."

Yoriichi was slightly taken aback. What is puppetization?

He'd never even heard of those words before...

"There's no time to explain. In short, it's an extremely sophisticated technique that appeared in the story of the 'merchant' that transforms a person's body into a puppet, thereby granting the sorcerer immortality."

Upon hearing this, Yoriichi seemed to have a clue. Wasn't this what Sasori meant by transforming his body into a puppet?

But how did Orochimaru acquire a puppet-like body, and... what about the techniques mentioned in the merchant's story? Could Orochimaru be related to the merchant?

In the original story, Orochimaru did not obtain the puppet's body... Furthermore, since he defected from Akatsuki, how did he get Sasori's help?

All of this may have nothing to do with Scorpion, but it may be inextricably linked to that person called the Merchant!

Yoriichi didn't have time to think that much. In his mind, Orochimaru was indeed the kind of person who would change himself for the sake of immortality.

However, in the original story, Sasori did not tell anyone about this, which is why Orochimaru did not notice this method.

But why did he find out about this this time?

Yoriichi's mind raced, and he quickly came to a conclusion.

—The time traveler...

Could the "merchant," like Ada, be a time traveler...?

Orochimaru's recent trip to the Land of Wind was to find a merchant, wasn't it?

As Yoriichi drew his fire sword from his waist, he swiftly hurled the Flying Thunder God kunai at Orochimaru.

In the blink of an eye, Yoriichi arrived in front of Orochimaru.

"Kenshin, this is the first time I've seen your face. I never expected... you look so much younger than others!" Orochimaru laughed, his split arm beginning to form hand seals.

"The geniuses in this world are truly extraordinary!"

With a "whoosh," the snake cage enveloped Yoriichi's body, briefly binding him.

"Sword Heart!" Lingyu became worried, drew her Seven Star Sword, and swiftly slashed forward.

"Boom!" A powerful wooden arm descended from the sky, blocking Lingyu's path.

Yamanaka Kaze also charged forward! Orochimaru's head instantly transformed into a white phosphorus snake, tearing at Yamanaka Kaze.

"Bang!" The snake's mouth collided with the sword blade, emitting a piercing screech.

Yoriichi seized the opportunity to burn the snake cage to the ground and rushed out to begin forming hand seals.

Yoriichi's version of Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands followed, and the puppet-like Orochimaru immediately retracted his body, spinning continuously and transforming into silk threads to nimbly dodge Yoriichi's attacks, as smooth as a moving glass window!

Immediately afterwards, Yoriichi smiled.

"We can get started now."

Soon, a boy wielding a sharp bone spike appeared from behind Orochimaru. Without the slightest hesitation, he pierced Orochimaru's chest.

Kimimaro attacked from behind, piercing Orochimaru's head and chest.

Orochimaru's eyes glazed over as he was struck and fell straight down from the sky.

Just now, Yoriichi secretly instructed Kimimaro to make his move through telepathy. The puppet Orochimaru was agile and difficult to capture, so Yoriichi used Wood Release to block his movement first. Then, Kimimaro jumped out from within and delivered the final blow to Orochimaru.

To this end, Yoriichi specifically reminded that the core of a puppet usually lies in the device on its chest. As long as the device is punctured, a modified puppet can be killed!

This method was deduced from the original work, specifically from the way Scorpion died.

In the sky, Hashirama Senju's body paused for a moment, and the process of forming the Top Transformation Buddha, which had reached 90% completion, came to a halt.

The group successfully prevented this deadly move from razing Yinyin Village to the ground.

"Good job, kid! You're doing great!" The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who was tied up to the side, silently gave Yoriichi a thumbs up.

In fact, the time it takes to unleash the Top Transformation Buddha is not very long, and the fact that the group successfully stopped Orochimaru in that short time is indeed worthy of such praise.

Yoriichi stood there, relieved, knowing that this meant no one would die here.
