The midday sun was dazzling and hot, and even in the dense forest, it was rare to find a shade. In the dense forest, a figure wrapped in a black cloak suddenly flashed out and appeared more than ten meters away in a flash. The ghost-like figure under the clear sky actually made people feel a chill.
The black figure flew past the trees without stopping. Suddenly, the figure paused and turned back the way he came. A moment later, he arrived in front of a big tree. It was one of the big trees that he had passed not long ago. After carefully looking around and making sure that no one was following him, the man no longer hesitated. He let out a low shout, and with a boom, a cloud of muddy dust rose from the tree. Countless leaves flew in the wind, forming a spherical circle that surrounded the man. Even if someone were to peep at them, their sight would be blocked by the dust and fallen leaves.
No one could see that in the encirclement, the tree in front of the black figure distorted and disappeared after a moment. In its place was an entrance that led underground. The black figure didn't stop. With a flash, he disappeared into the entrance. Then, the entrance distorted and disappeared again, transforming into a large tree. The dust and fallen leaves that had been stirred up around them gradually calmed down again. The quiet forest returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
" Pa, pa, pa." The sound of slow footsteps rang out in the dark passageway. Waves of echoes echoed in the narrow passageway, making one's heart feel numb. Finally, the footsteps stopped and a respectful voice sounded,"
"Lord Orochimaru, I've completed the mission you gave me. Ten root members are currently on standby at Base 7. I've also brought Zhishui's eyes.”
A gust of wind seemed to blow past, and then a flame jumped out of the darkness. It brought a dim yellow light in the darkness, illuminating two familiar faces. It was Orochimaru and Medicine Master Dou!
"Well done, Dou. You are indeed someone worthy of my trust. Ah…this is Zhishui's eyes…"
Orochimaru took the transparent container filled with an unknown transparent liquid from his pocket and looked at the demonic Shurakan floating inside. He sighed in admiration.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, with Zhishui's eyes and the help of the group trove, the second step of Lord Orochimaru's plan will soon be realized.”
Dou snorted and laughed, his tone revealing incomparable anticipation.
"It's a pity that I can't get Sasuke's body for the time being, Itachi…so the first step of the plan has to be temporarily terminated. If the first step of the plan could be realized, then the second step would be achieved naturally. That damned Feng Shui Sect…"
Orochimaru first sighed regretfully, then he thought of the hatred in his heart and couldn't help but curse.
"Oh right, how much did you learn from Tuan Zang about the Water Wave Sect?”Orochimaru suddenly asked when he thought of the water gate.
" Ah, I did get a lot of useful information, but Naruto IV shouldn't know about Lord Orochimaru's plan…"
Dou pondered for a moment, then told him everything he had learned from Tuan Zang.
When Orochimaru heard that the water gate had really been resurrected from the dead, and that it did not seem to exist in his own body, but that his soul was residing in the nine-tailed chakra body, he could not help but fall silent.
"Nine-Tails…I see. Did you really use Corpse Ghosts to seal them all back then? It seems that he really doesn't know about my plan. But why did you let me go? Could it be that he still could not use the Nine-Tails 'power as he wished? Yes, there was no mistaking it. With the nine-tailed chakra providing a physical body and the soul residing within it, there was definitely a certain risk in surviving in such a way. That was why he could not fight with all his might! Then, it was easy to guess the next step of the Wave Wind Water Sect. For him, the most important thing now was to return his soul to his body. Hmph, he doesn't have time to interfere with me now, so there's nothing to fear in the short term.”
After Orochimaru calmly analyzed the situation, he finally let go of his misgivings about the water gate. He snorted coldly, as if he had everything under control.
Orochimaru was worthy of being a person who had a deep understanding of the soul. Even though the information that Dou brought did not mention that Watergate had great scruples when using the Nine-tailed Chakra, he was still able to analyze it based on the limited information he had. If Watergate heard Orochimaru's analysis, he would be even more afraid of Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, when the group reported me, I had a question that I still haven't figured out. Why didn't Danzou and Orochimaru find it strange when they heard that the fourth generation Naruto survived with the nine-tailed Chakra body? Using chakras to form a host body, with his soul residing within, could he really continue to live like this?”
Dou seemed to have been confused for a long time and asked.
"Dou, although you are a spy, you don't know much about secrets. Creating a form from the formless, using the spiritual energy of one's imagination as the source was the power of Yin Escape. Injecting life into the form, using the body's energy that controlled life as the source, was the power of Yang Escape. Humph, the Wave Wind Water Gate used the Corpse Ghost Seal to extract the Nine-Tailed Yin-type chakra and seal it in the belly of the Death God, leaving the Nine-Tailed Yang-type chakra to seal on Naruto. The reason why he can appear in his original form now is because he used the Nine-tailed Yin-attribute chakra to create his form…"
"Oh? Wait a minute, why did the Corpse Ghost Seal extract the negative chakra from the nine tails instead of the positive chakra? Could it be that the guy had predicted thirteen years ago that he would have a chance to be reborn one day and had made preparations for it? What a terrifying fellow. He must not let his guard down when facing this fellow! Looks like I have to be more careful when working with Tuan Zang. Otherwise, it would be bad if he finds out…"
After Orochimaru explained to Dou, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed drastically. He was mumbling non-stop as if he was thinking about something, but his voice was so low that it could not be heard. Although Dou saw Orochimaru's lips move slightly, he did not hear his deduction.
In fact, Orochimaru's later speculation was not completely correct. The water gate took the negative chakra of the nine tails into consideration, but the most important thing was that Naruto's physique was more suitable for the positive chakra of the nine tails. And now, Watergate was able to borrow the power of Nine-Tailed's Yin-type chakra to create a new form, but that was just a side effect.
"Creating a form from the formless, using the spiritual energy that controls imagination as the source is the power of Yin Escape. Injecting life into the form, using the body's energy that controlled life as the source, was the power of Yang Escape. So that was the case. Therefore, even if the fourth generation Naruto did not have a body, he could still use the chakra to display that form. However, as the saying goes, solitary yin does not grow, solitary yang does not grow. The existence of the fourth generation Naruto in such a form was bound to be quite risky, so Lord Orochimaru predicted that the most important thing for the fourth generation Naruto was to fuse with his body. Unfortunately, Tuan Zang did not seem to know where the fourth generation Naruto's body was stored. Otherwise, if we can find it, then the fourth generation Naruto will be nothing to fear.”
Dou said with a sudden realization, before sighing with regret.
"Humph, if that old man Yuan Fei made the arrangements…could it be that he handed them over to that fellow? Forget it. It was probably unrealistic to directly destroy the body of the Wave Feng Shui Sect. But I won't let him have it easy, hmph…"
Orochimaru pondered for a moment before shaking his head, giving up on the idea of directly attacking the body of the water gate. After all, it had been such a long time, so the water gate must have taken care of his body long ago.
"Oh, does Lord Orochimaru have any plans?”Dou looked at Orochimaru and sneered. He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Although I still have some misgivings about using the Nine-Tails 'power now, if I leave it alone, sooner or later, he will completely control the Nine-Tails. At that time, it will become troublesome. Humph, humph, humph, they definitely wouldn't allow such power to grow. Because if they wanted to capture the tail beast, the Wave Wind Water Sect would become their biggest obstacle.”
"Dou, you're still a spy in Daybreak, so you'll be the one to pass this information to them. Humph, Xiao and his gang are all pretentious and annoying. It would be good to let them suffer at the Feng Shui Sect. Moreover, knowing that Nine-Tails still had half of his power on the Wave Wind Water Sect, that fellow would not sit idly by. If it was ideal, perhaps Xiao and Muye would go to war. At that time, I would be able to watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits. No matter who wins or loses, it doesn't matter to me. It's best if we fight until both sides are injured. Hmph, hmph, hahahaha…"
Orochimaru laughed out loud without any restraint. His words were actually trying to toy with Mu Ye and Xiao in the palm of his hands! His courage was so great that Dou Du's heart trembled endlessly!
" As expected of Lord Orochimaru. Humph, humph, humph, whether it's Akatsuki or Kiba, they're just chess pieces in Lord Orochimaru's eyes…That's right, if I follow Lord Orochimaru, I'll definitely see all the truths of the world. I'll be the second person after Lord Orochimaru to understand everything in the world! Ah…that day should come soon. Lord Orochimaru, I really can't wait any longer!”
Dou looked at Orochimaru's maniacal laughter. He didn't feel any fear or disgust. Instead, he was deeply intoxicated and fantasized about the day when his plan would succeed.
Almost at the same time, at the entrance of Muye Village, on the main road outside the village, two figures, one tall and one short, were slowly walking. One of them had golden hair and a handsome face with a sunny smile, while the other had a serious expression. His grayish-white pupils reminded people of his awe-inspiring background. It was Shuimen and Ningji who had just left the village!
