Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Among the environments of the entire ninja world, the Kingdom of Tian is second only to the Kingdom of Fire. There are not many high mountains and harsh deserts. The Kingdom of Tian is located in the temperate zone of the continent and has four distinct seasons.

If the land area were not so small and surrounded by big countries, this would be a very livable country.

"Kabuto, you can stop..."

It was the first time for Kabuto to go out with Kato O. He seemed a bit excited and talked a lot along the way.

"Master, is Lord Orochimaru in Tian Country?"

"Maybe, but it might just be a temporary stop..."

Kato Ou took out the food and water stored in the scroll and placed it on the dining table built by Earth Release. Although using scrolls to store non-essential things is considered a great luxury by other ninjas, But Kabuto and he were used to Nonou cooking according to their preferences.

"I can already try to use the chakra scalpel, although some are still not very proficient..."

"Guren's body has recovered, but she doesn't seem to remember when she left that curse mark..."

"Why did Orochimaru-sama plant that curse seal on Guren?"

Although Kato Oo has not told Kabuto anything in detail so far, Kabuto can clearly sense that being sealed by this kind of curse does not seem to be a good thing.

"This matter may go back a long time ago..."

Kato Ou glanced at Kabuto slightly, with a smile on his lips, as if he was reminiscing.

"Once upon a time, when I was studying in Orochimaru's laboratory, I developed a special technique with Mr. Orochimaru..."

"This kind of curse seal is the prerequisite for performing this technique..."

Thinking of Guren's special crystal escape bloodstain limit, Kato Ou also had to admire the magic of bloodstain limit. This special escape technique, which is a fusion of fire escape and earth escape, has a very high upper limit.

"Perhaps Guren was once one of Orochimaru's candidates..."

Kabuto seemed to be very interested in this kind of past events. Although he didn't know what this special ninjutsu was and what the candidate meant, he still looked at Kato Oo expectantly.

The wind came up at an unknown moment, blowing down the golden leaves all over the ground. The autumn sky was exceptionally blue. A slightly feminine voice suddenly came out through the dense jungle during the interval between the two men's conversation.

"It's really rare...to meet Xu Jun here..."

"Does the scenery of Tianzhi Country satisfy Xujun?"

Orochimaru's figure gradually emerged in the jungle with the sound. Kato Oo looked at Orochimaru, not paying attention to the tight body of Kabuto, and couldn't help but reveal a bit of smile in his eyes.

Orochimaru, dressed in white robes, seemed to have remained the same as before.

"Teacher Orochimaru..., such a sudden appearance will scare my cute little apprentice..."

Gently tapping Kabuto's shoulder, Kabuto's body seemed to relax instantly, breaking away from a suppressed atmosphere. With a bit of horror and disbelief in his eyes, he stared at Orochimaru - probably , for the first time he truly felt the terror of the strong...

"Are you Mr. Xu's disciple... Then, it seems that I am somewhat interested..."

"It would be an honor for him to study under Mr. Orochimaru for a period of time..."

Smiling softly, the two seemed to be sizing each other up quietly.

Seeing Orochimaru's almost unchanged appearance, Kato Oo couldn't help but reveal a somewhat inexplicable expression.

"Unexpectedly, Orochimaru-sensei came in person just after he performed the technique. It seems that the reincarnation went smoothly..."

Kato O's voice made Orochimaru narrow his eyes, vaguely gloomy.

Tian Zhiguo is one of his most secret strongholds. He can naturally detect that someone is getting closer and closer to the base, and he is also an unrivaled strong man among his men.

If not, he would not come to investigate in person. No one knows the weak period after the corpse's reincarnation better than him - unless it is the former disciple in front of him.

"It seems that after all these years, Mr. Xu has grown into a truly strong man..."

The two looked at each other, Kabuto stood aside and did not dare to speak, but he could clearly feel the atmosphere that was gradually becoming more solemn.

Orochimaru seemed to want to see his purpose from Kato Oo's eyes, but the corner of Kato Oo's mouth slowly raised a smile - Orochimaru in his weak stage was somewhat too cautious.

"It seems that if I don't tell Orochimaru-sensei the purpose of my visit this time, I won't even be able to get through the gate..."

"Spirituality!"

The big snake emerged from the white mist and slowly spit out a huge crystal coffin from its mouth. A woman was lying quietly in it.

"There are some things, maybe Mr. Orochimaru knows something..."

Patting the big snake lightly with one hand, it turned into white mist and returned to the spiritual world. The eyes of the three of them fell on the woman who seemed to be sleeping peacefully in the crystal coffin.

"Kushina..."

"It seems that the Nine-Tails Rebellion has a lot to do with Mr. Xu..."

Orochimaru looked at Kato Oo quietly, frowning slightly, seeming to be thinking about the causes and consequences of these things, and also seemed to be waiting for Kato Oo to speak.

"There is a very special existence in the sealing technique. It was also used by the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato. It is a forbidden technique used to seal the Nine-Tails - the zombie seal!"

"Over the years, I have inquired about some information. This sealing technique exists in Konoha's Book of Sealings, but it turns out that it flowed into Konoha from the Kingdom of Whirlpool..."

"And Kushina was once a survivor of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and she has a very high status..."

"I think that as one of the disciples of the third generation, who was also in the top ranks of Konoha, Master Orochimaru must know this technique and even checked the book of seals..."

"I'm afraid it's not just that... Xu-kun must have seen Namikaze Minato perform this forbidden technique. The cost is high. Xu-kun won't want to tell me, you will use it yourself..."

As he said that, Orochimaru gently pressed his hand on the crystal coffin, as if he was checking Kushina's condition.

"I originally didn't plan to hide these things from Mr. Orochimaru, but some things are still being speculated. If Mr. Orochimaru is interested, I will tell you some of my guesses..."

"For example..., the God of Death and the Pure Land..."

"Oh?"

"Xujun, who is good at soul secrets, is exploring the power of death and pure land... Let me guess what Xujun wants to do... It seems to be a very interesting thing..."

"Xujun, is it possible that you want to control the Pure Land and the power of the dead?"

Orochimaru's eyes were fixed on Kato Ou, seeming to analyze every expression on his face. He had been exposed to the reincarnation of the dirty earth, knew the reincarnation of the immortal body, and was proficient in the secret art of soul and body. The former disciple in front of him seemed to be becoming more and more ambitious. A little bigger...

Kato Oo was noncommittal and did not answer Orochimaru's question. He just looked at Orochimaru with a smile, and there seemed to be a strange look in his eyes.

"Teacher Orochimaru, are you interested in doing something big..."

"A...'big event' that can overturn the entire ninja world!"
