In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning

In just a few blinks of an eye, Orochimaru, a shadow-level powerhouse, and Kabuto Yakushi, who was not afraid of Kakashi Hatake, had most of their chakra sucked away by the branches on their bodies.

Yagyu did not drain all their chakra, but after putting them in a weak state, he stopped absorbing chakra and released the silent killing technique that immobilized them.

They broke free and did not choose to escape.

Because they all know that there is no way they can escape from this state.

Orochimaru, who left soul fragments in the Heavenly Curse Seals of Uchiha Sasuke and Mitarashi Anko, is actually not that afraid of death.

And through the conversation just now, Orochimaru could also see that Yagyu came here not for Uchiha Sasuke, but for him!

As a result, Orochimaru quickly calmed down, and his mouth under the bandage once again let out a slightly hoarse laugh: "Such wood escape and chakra are indeed not comparable to those replicas implanted with Hashirama cells. It seems to have declined. The Senju of the Forest for many years is about to return to the top of the ninja world."

After the compliment, Orochimaru said straight to the point: "Since you didn't come here to take away Uchiha Sasuke, and you didn't kill us last time or this time, you must have something that needs my help!"

In the last sentence, Orochimaru's tone was full of affirmation.

"As expected of the legendary Sannin, he can still be so rational in this situation."

Yagyu praised him, then walked up to Orochimaru, put his hand into the inner pocket of the black windbreaker, and said with a smile: "I came here this time to make a deal with you, Orochimaru-dono."

After saying this, Yagyu took out a mask from his windbreaker.

It was a white mask with a ferocious expression, resembling a devil.

"What's this?"

Orochimaru's only exposed eyes were full of doubts.

At this time, he obviously had not yet found out the ability and method of breaking the corpse seal, and knew nothing about this mask.

However, Yagyu's next words shocked him greatly.

I saw Yagyu playing with the mask in his hand casually, and chuckled: "This mask is called the Death Mask, and it is the only way to break the seal of the corpse."

Orochimaru stood up instantly, his narrowed eyes staring at the death mask in Yagyu's hand, his breathing suddenly became extremely rapid, and his body was shaking slightly.

If reason hadn't suppressed the impulse, both Yagyu and Kabuto Yakushi had no doubt that Orochimaru would have been unable to resist the temptation to pounce on the Death Mask.

Regarding this, both Yagyu and Kabuto Yakushi understood Orochimaru's mood very well.

As a time traveler, Yagyu, and as Orochimaru's best assistant, Yakushi Kabuto, they all know that Orochimaru's persistence in immortality and ninjutsu is beyond everyone's imagination.

In order to gain eternal life and learn all the ninjutsu, Orochimaru was willing to give up everything.

That's why Hiruzen Sarutobi took away Orochimaru's hands and made him lose the ability to form seals and use ninjutsu, which was even more uncomfortable than killing Orochimaru.

But now, the chance to get his hands back is right in front of him, and it's amazing that Orochimaru can still hold back.

Looking at Orochimaru who was breathing extremely rapidly, Yagyu didn't hold back the Death Mask. Instead, he handed the Death Mask closer to him and admired Orochimaru's reaction through the window of his soul.

However, his move made Orochimaru calm down quickly.

"What do you want?"

Orochimaru looked into Yagyu's eyes and asked.

Without any temptation, Orochimaru knew that this Death Mask and what Yagyu said must be true.

If nothing else, the transaction Yagyu mentioned should require the use of his technique.

And currently, only he knows that technique.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yagyu to take out the Death Mask, let alone help him get his hands back so kindly.

"A big shot is a big shot. He has a really good attitude."

Seeing Orochimaru regaining his senses so quickly and not losing control of trying to snatch the Death Mask, Yagyu couldn't help but praise him, then casually threw the Death Mask to the wide-eyed Yakushi Kabuto, and said slowly: "The corpse has been sealed away The ability is to make a deal with the God of Death and let the God of Death cut off and take away the soul of the enemy. The ability of the Death Mask is also to make a deal with the God of Death, exchanging one's own soul for the soul that is devoured by the God of Death."

"Lord Orochimaru, if you want to get your hands back, you must find a sacrifice who is willing to die for you and wear this mask."

"And my deal is very simple, that is, let the sacrifice help Orochimaru-dono get your hands back, and at the same time free the soul of the previous Hokage."

"I see. Is your purpose to save the souls of your ancestors?"

Orochimaru looked at the death mask on Yakushi Kabuto's hand with burning eyes, and then looked at Yakushi Kabuto whose face changed slightly, but his eyes soon became firm. A relieved smile could not help but appear on his face under the bandage.

Immediately, Orochimaru nodded to Yagyu and said, "No problem, I promise you."

"I haven't finished speaking yet, Lord Orochimaru."

Yagyu continued with a smile: "After liberating the souls of the previous Hokage, I want you to use the art of reincarnation in the dirty soil to 'resurrect' them. I want to have a dialogue with the previous Hokage."

Hearing this, Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly and he looked deeply at Yagyu.

Obviously, he had guessed Yagyu's purpose.

The dialogue is fake. I'm afraid it's true that he wants to get a more advanced wood release ninjutsu from the first Hokage, right?

Could it be that there is no wooden escape scroll left by the first generation in Konoha's library of forbidden arts, or is it lost?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru suddenly felt happy, and his fear of Yagyu disappeared instantly.

However, on the surface, he nodded readily: "It's a small matter, I promise you."

"Then let's get started."

Yagyu raised his head and looked at Kabuto Yakushi who was holding the Death Mask.

Orochimaru also looked at Kabuto Yakushi.

Facing the gaze of the two, Kabuto Yakushi showed no fear on his face, but took off his glasses and was about to put on the Death Mask.

At this time, Orochimaru suddenly said: "Kabuto, go and call Honglian."

Kabuto Yakushi was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

After walking out of the dimly lit room, Kabuto Yakushi came back with a woman with light purple hair not long after.

Yagyu knew this woman, and her name was also written in Yagyu's diary. She was one of the important figures in the original Shippuden Three-Tails incident, Honglian who possessed the Blood Limit Crystal Release.

The other party is one of Orochimaru's reincarnation containers. If Orochimaru hadn't been so anxious to get Uchiha Sasuke's body and thought he could reincarnate in time, and hadn't asked someone to bring Honglian to the base in advance, then Orochimaru's current body would belong to this woman.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Honglian just came in and knelt on one knee in front of Orochimaru, looking at Orochimaru sitting on the throne, her eyes full of fanaticism and admiration.

At this time, Honglian hadn't woken up yet. Her dream was the same as Kimimaro's, hoping to become Orochimaru's container.

For this reason, she regretted not arriving in time, forcing Lord Orochimaru to choose Huanyoumaru as the reincarnation container, and was very dissatisfied and disgusted with Uchiha Sasuke, who had been determined to be the reincarnation container in three years.

Looking at Honglian kneeling on the ground, Orochimaru asked gently: "Honglian, did Kabuto tell you?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Honglian said fearlessly: "As long as Lord Orochimaru can get back the ninjutsu, I am willing to sacrifice my life."

"Don't you regret it?"

Orochimaru said in a gentle voice: "If you don't want to, I can choose someone else to do it."

"I am willing, and I am not sure about those guys."

Honglian stood up and snatched the death mask from Kabuto Yakushi, looking at Orochimaru with firm eyes: "My life was originally given by Lord Orochimaru, and I am very satisfied to be able to live until now. Since Kimimaro and I have not been able to become the reincarnation container of Lord Orochimaru, let me do something for you like Kimimaro."

After that, Honglian put on the death mask without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Yagyu suddenly felt a little admiration for Orochimaru.

In terms of PUA ability, no one in the entire ninja world can compare to Orochimaru.

Even when facing a brainwashed chess piece, Uchiha Madara had to leave a curse seal just in case.

On the other hand, Orochimaru relied on his personality charm to make his subordinates fight for him.

Even Mitarashi Anko turned against him because Orochimaru did not take her with him when he left Konoha, not because Orochimaru became a traitor.

In addition to Anko, there are also important characters such as Kimimaro, Guren and Kabuto Yakushi, as well as Mitsuki in Boruto.

If these important characters are not counted, there must be many people in Oto Village who are willing to die for Orochimaru.

Compared with Orochimaru, Yagyu used the advantage of knowing the plot and the PUA ability of Asashi, which was too weak.

Only in front of Orochimaru, Yagyu did not dare to call himself a "cultivation master".

Although there are many people in Oto Village who are willing to die for Orochimaru, Orochimaru obviously does not trust those people.

After Kimimaro's death, the only people he can trust are Kabuto Yakushi and Guren.

What's more deadly is that Honglian also doesn't trust those guys, and wants to use her own life to ensure that Lord Orochimaru can get his hands back.

Swish——

As Honglian put on the Death Mask, her body suddenly surged with blue chakra flames.

As soon as these chakras emerged, they all gathered inside the Death Mask, as if attracted by a magnet.

After a while, the chakra flames on Honglian's body dissipated.

A spirit suddenly flew out of the Death Mask, floating behind Honglian and rapidly enlarged, forming a Death with fluffy white hair, wearing a loose white robe, like a devil, and holding a knife in his mouth.

Of course, only Honglian can see this Death, just like only those who use the Shiki Fujin can see the Death.

Even so, Orochimaru's body still felt a chilling chill, and his mind couldn't help but replay the scene of the soul with both hands cut off.

The pain of being unable to move his hands and even affecting his whole body, causing his body to collapse prematurely and forcing him to reincarnate, seemed to have returned.

After entering the ninja school, Orochimaru began to get used to the pain brought by fighting.

As a Genin, he went out to perform missions and fight with the enemy, and he also got used to various injuries, and even almost saw the god of death many times.

But after really seeing the god of death, Orochimaru found that those pains and injuries were not as good as the knife of the god of death.

Even the pain of tearing his soul apart was not as good as the knife of the god of death.

Orochimaru, who had a trump card, was not afraid of Yagyu, nor was he afraid of Uchiha Itachi and Tendo Pain who killed him in one glance.

Orochimaru, who was more like an immortal than Kakuzu and Hidan, really asked him to choose a fearful existence, that should be the invisible god of death.

Yagyu did not know what Orochimaru was thinking.

At this time, he also felt the temperature in the room drop, and then his eyes flashed red, and his expression was full of solemnity.

Out of sight!

Yagyu couldn't see the existence of the God of Death either.

There is no doubt that this level of Death is like the Sage of Six Paths, who although his body has died, his soul can still freely travel back and forth between the world of the dead and the world of the living. He belongs to another dimension.

I just don’t know if the world where Death lives is the same place as the souls of the Sage of Six Paths and the souls of the dead.

If so, that's good news.

The God of Death needs the magician to seal away the corpse, or use the Death Mask to appear in the world of the living, which requires quite a few conditions.

This means that if the soul of the Immortal of Six Paths returns to the world of the living and takes action in the world of the living, he will also have to pay an unknown price and cannot be unscrupulous.

Moreover, Yagyu had already exposed his wood escape. If the Sage of Six Paths was really powerful, he must have noticed him, and maybe even discovered that he had Asura's chakra in his body.

But the Sage of Six Paths didn't come to his door. Either he couldn't do it, or he was deceived by Yagyu like everyone else.

No matter which one it is, it is good news for Yagyu.

He only needs to continue to maintain a bright personality, and when his strength reaches the sixth level, he will no longer be afraid of the calculations and observations of these masterminds.

Poof——

At this time, the sound of a sharp weapon entering the body was heard.

Honglian didn't do anything, but a huge stab wound suddenly appeared on her stomach, and blood splattered.

"Ahhhh..."

Honglian let out a miserable scream, and her body fell to the ground, rolling and struggling.

Above her body, five blue spirits appeared out of thin air.

As soon as these blue spirits appeared, four of them disappeared.

The remaining spirit flew towards Orochimaru and soon disappeared into his body.

The next second, Orochimaru's hands flashed with blue light.

"Back... back..."

Orochimaru stood up and watched as he broke free from the bandage. Not only did his fingers regain their flexibility, but his meridians could also mobilize chakra. His voice trembled slightly with excitement: "My ninjutsu...are all back!"

At the same time, Guren, who was rolling on the ground, also lost his voice.

A blue spirit also flew out of her body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It was obvious that her soul had been taken away by Death.

Yagyu came to her body, recovered the death mask, and then looked at Orochimaru, who had calmed down and was also watching him, and said with a smile: "We are very different in strength. Don't seek death, Your Excellency Orochimaru."
