Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

“It’s getting more and more interesting.”

Just as Orochimaru was about to rush in to defeat 'Itachi' who didn't have the Mangekyou Sharingan, he saw a pair of strange eyes and then his whole body became paralyzed.

"Who gave you the audacity to attack the Uchiha clan?"

Orochimaru entered a spiritual space.

A crescent-shaped blood moon appeared in the sky, and Orochimaru's entire body was confined to the black water, unable to move.

"Who is it!" Orochimaru shouted into the mental space.

Tread.

Uchiha Shisui appeared on the surface of the water.

He stepped forward and approached Orochimaru. "Lord Orochimaru, it's been a long time."

"It's you! Shisui of the Body Flicker!" Orochimaru saw that it was Uchiha Shisui, who had made a name for himself on the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War, and he also saw complex patterns in the other's eyes. He immediately realized that the other was the holder of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"I never expected... that the Uchiha clan could still have someone like you at this moment."

"I underestimated you."

Uchiha Shisui sneered, "After Lord Orochimaru defected from the village, his standards have risen considerably."

"Heh." Orochimaru chuckled coldly, then prepared to put his hands together to dispel the genjutsu.

"it's useless."

"This is no ordinary illusion."

Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan rotated slightly. "This is the mental space created by my Mangekyou Sharingan. Unless you have eyes like mine, it is impossible to break through it."

"Impossible!" Orochimaru refused to believe it, stubbornly resisting the limitations of the genjutsu and trying to clasp his hands together.

"Hmph! Since that's the case, for the sake of Konoha's peace, don't blame me." Shisui finished speaking, and his left eye began to move: "Kotoamatsukami!"

"What...?!" Orochimaru's eyes widened in confusion. "What...what did you do to me..."

"The strongest illusion technique, Kotoamatsukami."

"It can permanently change your will."

"Be loyal to the village and protect Konoha, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru's body trembled involuntarily. He knew he was under a genjutsu, but he couldn't remember what kind of genjutsu it was.

"Shisui! Spare me! I'm willing to atone for my sins, just let me be a member of the village again..."

Seeing this, Shisui brought Orochimaru out of the mental space, then explained what had happened to Itachi. The two of them took the unconscious Orochimaru away and headed towards Konoha Village.

At this moment, the other observers were speechless.

Ground.

"That looks like Orochimaru." Huang Tu swallowed.

“That’s right…” another Jonin from Iwagakure responded.

In the woods.

Upon seeing this, Konan immediately released the paper clone she was controlling and, with an innocent expression, continued to accompany the current Hokage, Tobirama Senju, to inspect the site.

Tobirama Senju, being the person he was, naturally saw through Konan's little trick, but he didn't care. He wished that other ninja villages could help them deal with the 'Uchiha' matter.

Inside the examination room, Jiraiya's expression was somewhat complicated.

He returned to the village in the last two days, and the changes in the village shocked him. What surprised him even more was that not only was the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju resurrected, but even Tsunade's younger brother had been resurrected.

And there's also Xiao Nan.

He believed that Konan must also be a resurrected ninja, but he didn't know how to ask her.

Yesterday, he went to the inn specifically to find Konan, the representative of Amegakure, but was met with a response from the Amegakure genin, as Konan, a jonin, refused to see him.

Therefore, he still doesn't know what has happened over the years.

Just then, a member of the secret service outside suddenly reported.

"Second Hokage, there are Uchiha ninjas outside requesting an audience. They've captured an S-rank rogue ninja..."

"Huh?!" Tobirama Senju was somewhat surprised. Could it be that a 'super smart guy' really went to the Uchiha clan's territory?

But upon hearing that it was an S-rank rogue ninja, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"

"Orochimaru."

Upon hearing this, apart from the representatives of Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Konan, the representatives and ninjas of the other villages were all taken aback.

Chapter 30 The True Owner of the Rinnegan (Please read on, please vote!)

The first exam isn't over yet.

In the Hokage's office, Tobirama Senju also brought Orochimaru over to explain the situation to the current Fifth Hokage, and also summoned Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Orochimaru?"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw that familiar figure, his pupils shrank and his whole body trembled.

But just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to make his move, he noticed the other person's friendly smile and the helpless expressions of everyone in the office, and then asked:

"What the hell is going on."

"Teacher, it's been a long time. You've aged a lot, but thankfully, you've chosen an outstanding ninja to succeed you as Hokage..." Orochimaru said gently.

Everyone:......

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was familiar with Orochimaru, couldn't help but take a step back and slap himself hard across the face with his last remaining left arm.

"Hiss—I'm not dreaming... Teacher, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju crossed his arms, looking somewhat helpless: "It's the Uchiha."

"Orochimaru attacked the Uchiha clan's territory, but was... was 'defeated' by a ninja named Uchiha Shisui using his eye technique."

When he learned that there were eye techniques that could modify a person's consciousness, Tobirama Senju almost couldn't resist taking action and personally dealing with this terrifying 'Uchiha'. However, he quickly remembered that the other party was not a real human, and he suppressed his trembling heart and asked for more information.

The good news is that this eye technique has a cooldown period, requiring about twenty years to recover.

The bad news is that Tobirama Senju wasn't sure if this ninja named 'Shisui' would automatically refresh his 'cooldown'...

However, on behalf of the Fifth Hokage, he still highly praised the Uchiha's actions and promised to allow Shisui to view one of the ninjutsu techniques within the sealed scroll...

Of course, it was also because Tobirama Senju believed that the dead ninjas would not remember this matter at all, or even if they obtained the forbidden technique he developed, they would not learn it, that he felt at ease granting them the authority.

But what Tobirama Senju didn't expect was that this 'Shisui' was playing dirty tricks.

He suggested that the reward be given to Sasuke and Bufan, both high-ranking ninja in the clan, and that he didn't need it.

Therefore, Tobirama Senju inexplicably owes two Uchiha children the right to view a sealing jutsu...

Hiruzen Sarutobi was one of the people who knew about Shisui's eye technique, along with Danzo and Itachi.

Therefore, upon learning that the current 'Uchiha Shisui' could actually use the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but shudder: "So... that technique... was given to Orochimaru, right?"

Senju Tobirama nodded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his once-proud disciple: "Orochimaru...you...you..."

"Master, what's wrong with me?" Orochimaru asked, puzzled. He didn't remember being hit by a dojutsu. "But, I heard from Tobirama-sama that the Uchiha clan is in trouble, right?"

"I think so too."

"When I attacked the Uchiha clan's territory just now, I killed an Uchiha ninja, but 'Uchiha Itachi' inside the clan's territory seems to have forgotten..."

Although Orochimaru has lost the memory of being controlled by the eye technique, he still remembers what he did.

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but ask, "You killed that Uchiha ninja, where did you go afterward?"

Orochimaru shook his head slightly: "I don't know either. All I know is that after Itachi Uchiha arrived, that Uchiha ninja disappeared, and even the few drops of blood I collected were gone."

"Hiss—" After hearing this, Tobirama Senju became even more wary of the Uchiha clan.

"In other words, that Uchiha ninja might 'resurrect' in his current form, so even if we kill all the 'Uchiha ninjas,' it will be of no use."

Everyone nodded slightly.

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru with a puzzled expression and couldn't help but ask, "How did you suddenly become the leader of Otogakure?"

Orochimaru sneered, "Jiraiya, I'm not like you. If I want to research the art of immortality, I need a lot of funds and a lot of experimental subjects..."

"You're more terrifying than I imagined, but thankfully..." Tobirama Senju trailed off, deciding not to reveal that fact, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, you wouldn't attack the village's ninjas, would you?"

“No.” Orochimaru ‘remembered’ his identity. “I am willing to atone for my sins. As long as I can regain my identity as a Konoha ninja in the shadows, I am willing to offer the Land of Rice Fields to Konoha Village.”

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Hokage, Kakashi, couldn't help but take a deep breath: "That's not necessary. Konoha Village has no interest in managing other countries. You should manage it yourself."

Tobirama Senju nodded. The situation in Otogakure and Land of the Rising Sun was still uncertain. If it turned out to be a trap, that would be bad.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward and seized the opportunity to ask, "In that case, can you tell me what happened after you left the village?"

Orochimaru then said almost everything he could, but he didn't mention the details of the research involved in the experiment.

"What! Konan and Pain with the Rinnegan... Can you describe what Pain looks like?" Jiraiya exclaimed in shock.

Tobirama Senju: "So that Jonin from Amegakure didn't come here to participate in the Chunin Exams, but to gather intelligence."

Jiraiya, Konan is your disciple, isn't she?

Jiraiya nodded: "Second Hokage, Konan was indeed one of the three disciples I took in during the Second World War... but not long after returning to Konoha, I heard the news of their deaths..."

“According to Jiraiya, he’s probably not wrong.” Orochimaru smiled and continued, “Pain’s current appearance is very similar to one of the orange-haired children from that year, perhaps because of the death of the other red-haired child…”

Orochimaru also remembered that the red-haired child's bangs were so long that they covered his eyes. So Jiraiya must have seen the red-haired child's Rinnegan, which is why he decided to take him as a disciple.

How despicable! If I had taken him as my disciple, the Rinnegan would be mine now!

"So... Nagato is dead?" Jiraiya's eyes dimmed. "No wonder Konan refused to see me when I went to her yesterday."

But Tobirama Senju sensed something was wrong: "Fifth Hokage, I heard that your Sharingan is being used up a lot, is that right?"

Kakashi Hatake nodded and said with a wry smile, "Yes, Second Hokage, not only does it continuously drain my chakra, but it also cannot be turned off."

"Jiraiya, I'm asking you, what's the name of that orange-haired kid? Is he a ninja from the Blood Clan?"

Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's words, Jiraiya paused slightly and shook his head: "When I was training Yahiko, I didn't notice any bloodstains on him. As for chakra, Yahiko's chakra was not much; it was normal. He only had water and earth attributes."

Nagato, on the other hand, had a lot of chakra and possessed the talent of having all three chakra natures...

“Then it seems the person who died was not Nagato, but Yahiko,” Tobirama Senju confirmed.

"This...this..." Jiraiya was somewhat taken aback.

Orochimaru understood Tobirama Senju's meaning and let out a hoarse laugh: "No wonder...no wonder I always felt that 'Pain' was a bit strange. It turns out he was a puppet."

Seeing Jiraiya's still confused expression, Orochimaru continued to explain:

"Jiraiya, actually the principle is very simple."

“Yahiko is an ordinary child. If you train him, he might become a fairly good commoner ninja. But commoner ninjas cannot withstand the power of the Rinnegan, let alone use it.”

"So, red hair, high chakra levels, and the ability to possess all chakra natures mean that Nagato is no ordinary child."

"He must be a member of the Uzumaki clan from the Land of Whirlpools, which was destroyed during World War II."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya was shocked, Kakashi nodded slightly, understanding Orochimaru and the Second Hokage's meaning, while Hiruzen Sarutobi looked ashamed for not intervening and missing out on a powerful Rinnegan user.

"What is the Akatsuki's mission? What are its objectives?" Having gathered so many S-rank rogue ninja, Tobirama Senju did not believe that the Akatsuki was merely an organization that existed for the sake of Amegakure's development.

Orochimaru shook his head slightly: "I don't know either. I hadn't gained the organization's trust yet. In the end, after the failed attack on Itachi Uchiha, I chose to defect."

Jiraiya: "..."

As expected of you.

"You... you only joined Akatsuki because of the Rinnegan." Tobirama Senju couldn't help but cover his forehead.

Orochimaru, unconcerned about the world's gaze, nodded in agreement: "That's right."

"After being defeated by Pain, I thought about finding an opportunity to take his Rinnegan... but I never had the chance."

"Therefore, I set my sights on Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"How strong is he?" Tobirama Senju asked.

"Very strong."
