The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 364 Dual Soul Fusion 1

Upon hearing Hongdou admit her mistake, Qianyao glanced at Orochimaru, who was busy beside him.

But Orochimaru remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Qianyao pointed at Orochimaru: "Your teacher doesn't need to apologize."

Anko was also stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening and obediently stood behind Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was quite satisfied to see that Chiyo had captured two more White Zetsu.

Because he had already experimented with it, and White Zetsu was practically a universal material.

Not only are all attributes the same, but all of them are also vegetative state attributes.

It is suitable as both a sacrificial offering and a test subject.

"Du, take these two materials with me."

At Qianyao's command, Kabuto immediately came up and took White Zetsu away.

He knew that Orochimaru particularly liked this experimental subject.

Two of the ones Qianyao sent earlier have already been used up.

At this moment, Orochimaru turned his head and glanced at Anko.

"I'll give you two options now. One: I'll remove your curse mark now, and you'll never feel pain from it again."

"Second: I will improve upon your current spell seal so that you can learn immortal arts, but if you don't practice for enough time each day, you will experience labor pains."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and circled it around, his eyes filled with a mocking light as he looked at Anko.

Many scenes of her learning from Orochimaru flashed through Anko's mind.

She knew this would be another important crossroads in her life.

Perhaps this was the last chance the teacher was giving her.

Without much hesitation, Hongdou replied directly, "I choose the second path; I want to learn immortal arts!!"

She wasn't stupid; not to mention that the number of people in the entire ninja world who knew Sage Mode was less than five.

She had heard countless times about how Chiyo had scared Hiruzen Sarutobi away by activating Sage Mode.

Orochimaru's lips curled slightly, and he finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Red Bean, come with me, Qianyao, let's go find Death and demand our people back."

Chiyo, also ready to enjoy watching Death being fooled, joined in with great interest.

They followed Orochimaru to the basement.

Several people whom Qianyao recognized but had never seen before arrived.

"Greetings, Lord Orochimaru."

The Sound Four—Jugo, Suigetsu, and Guren—lined up to bow to Orochimaru.

These people were nominally there to support Konoha Village, but only Chiyo knew this.

Orochimaru had specially transferred these people over to conduct new experiments.

Orochimaru didn't stop walking; he merely glanced at them and said, "No need for formalities."

Orochimaru's perspective has broadened considerably, and he has let go of some things from the past.

For Orochimaru, going through these mundane rituals was a waste of time, especially since this was in his laboratory.

Chiyo glanced at Jugo. This guy had been staying in the Sound Village all along. Who was controlling him? Guren?

When Orochimaru passed by Jugo, he slapped Jugo's body and pulled out a lump of body tissue that looked like putty.

Then he led Hongdou and Qianyao down the path.

Kushina was sitting at the table, studying the mask that Chiyo and Orochimaru had brought back together.

It wasn't the Grim Reaper, but one of the others.

"How is it going? Are these masks working?"

The mask has been here for a while, and Chiyo gave it to Nagato and Kushina for research.

Compared to Kushina, Nagato did not learn much about the Uzumaki clan.

I knew a little about Kushina when she was young.

Kushina actually managed to research and create these masks:

"These masks can be used as magical artifacts, or to enhance the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan."

Qian Yao raised an eyebrow; it really wasn't a waste of his time to pick them all up.

Orochimaru didn't let Kushina continue talking to Chiyo, but instead gave her instructions:

"Go back first and retrieve Minato's memories."

"ah!"

Kushina covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Chiyo.

Qianyao smiled and nodded, indicating that it was true.

"Great! I'll be right back!"

Kushina cheered and immediately used Shadow Release to get to Naruto.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, directed Kabuto to bring over two White Zetsu.

Then he came to Hongdou's side and pulled open Hongdou's collar to reveal... the Heavenly Curse Mark.

Orochimaru formed hand seals and then pressed the lump of life tissue he had taken from Jugo directly onto Anko's neck.

"untie!"

With a hoarse shout, countless black threads extended from the Heavenly Curse Seal, spreading out in all directions towards Red Bean.

Hongdou also felt a wave of weakness wash over her, and she swayed and collapsed to the ground.

Orochimaru didn't pay any attention, and simply pulled his hand outwards, from which a huge snake head emerged.

The snake's head opened, and a giant Orochimaru emerged from it.

After the excruciating pain subsided, Hongdou was completely shocked. Why was her teacher inside her Heavenly Curse Seal?!

Orochimaru inside the Heavenly Curse Seal slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Orochimaru outside.

"I never imagined that I would revive myself."

"It seems you've found a better path."

Orochimaru, who was inside the red bean, had a more sinister expression.

Orochimaru, who was outside, appeared more composed.

"We have indeed found a better path."

"Alright."

After Orochimaru emerged from the red bean, he responded and transformed into a snake, then crawled into Orochimaru's wide-open mouth.

This scene is extremely terrifying; an ordinary person's sanity would plummet if they saw it.

After the two Orochimarus merged into one, Orochimaru's gaze towards Anko softened slightly.

Next, we got down to business.

Orochimaru put on the Grim Reaper mask, and a chilling aura of chakra appeared on his body.

The tearing sensation was so intense that even someone like Orochimaru was in agony, flailing his arms and legs in pain.

Fortunately, a few seconds later, Orochimaru opened his arms wide, and then the image of the Grim Reaper appeared behind him.

Although no one can see this Grim Reaper, their bodies instinctively sense the threat.

Under Orochimaru's control, the Shinigami removed the dagger from the corner of his mouth.

Then he cut open his stomach.

At the same time, Orochimaru's abdomen was also cut open.

A phantom soul flew directly into the air.

Orochimaru removed his mask and then slammed his palm into the ground.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

The talisman kept spinning and covering White Zetsu. Amidst White Zetsu's heart-wrenching screams, he became a completely different person.

Then Orochimaru, his face covered in cold sweat, waved to Chiyo.

Qian Yao nodded slightly, and a figure stood up directly from the shadow beside him.

It is that clone that has been absorbing natural energy.

Orochimaru opened his mouth, and a snake emerged from it, then charged fiercely towards Chiyo's clone.

However, the snake did not merge into it; when it bumped into Qianyao's clone, it was as if it had hit a wall.

The snake's corpse was left on the ground, and its soul merged directly into it.

Chiyo's clone's appearance changed in a flash, transforming into Orochimaru's likeness.
