I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

In a busy market in Tian Kingdom, a young man with long black hair and fair skin was buying something.

"You're really hard to find. I just didn't expect you to turn out like this, Orochimaru."

A boy with the same black hair appeared behind the boy at some point. He looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.

"I didn't expect that I would be discovered by you after becoming like this, Ye Lanjun."

The tone of the boy with long black hair was totally inconsistent with his appearance, and instead sounded a bit old-fashioned.

These two people are the dead Orochimaru and Ye Lan who is looking for him.

The other party looked around and said.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

Ye Lan then followed the other party to a house which was not very big. He did not expect that Orochimaru lived here like an ordinary person.

"So what are you thinking about now? It's Obito who caused you to be like this."

Orochimaru, who had changed his body, did not feel as gloomy to Ye Lan, but became more peaceful instead.

"My experiment has been completed in a sense. I had to use this technique when facing death. This is a more perfect technique than the Reincarnation Technique."

Orochimaru on the opposite side very politely poured a cup of tea for Ye Lan. The Orochimaru in the past would never do this.

"Are you just going to take this loss? Where's your Sharingan? Are you not interested in this anymore?"

Hearing that the other party had no intention of causing trouble for Obito again, Ye Lan felt very confused.

The other party gave Ye Lan a very strange feeling. The feedback from the natural energy was obviously correct, which made him doubt whether the person in front of him was Orochimaru.

"That was Orochimaru's business and it actually has nothing to do with me. Besides, it was Orochimaru's fate to die like this. My name is no longer Orochimaru. It is my new name. I hope Ye Lan-kun will call me that in the future."

This confused Ye Lan. Even with his Blue Star thinking ability, he couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that the other party still had questions, he explained softly.

"Originally this experiment was only in the theoretical stage, but Obito's back-up plan forced me to use this trump card. After my body was destroyed by Obito, my remaining cells were reincarnated into this current body with Orochimaru's memories."

He clenched his thin arms. This new body was like a blank sheet of paper. It was artificially cultivated by him. Ethically speaking, it was an artificial human without any parents.

"In other words, you just accepted Orochimaru's memories. You can say it's Orochimaru or not?"

Ye Lan understood it. If he was a native of this world, it would not be easy to fully understand it.

"As expected, Ye Lan-kun, you can understand everything with just two sentences of explanation. You can think so, so I don't want to get in touch with anything about Orochimaru anymore. For now, I just want to live a peaceful life."

Although Michiko says that he is not Orochimaru, his way of thinking is exactly the same as Orochimaru's.

"So what exactly did Ye Lan-kun want to talk to me about? You're not just here to confirm whether Orochimaru is dead or not, are you?"

In fact, the current relationship between Orochimaru and Tsutomu cannot be explained in just a few words. There is another indispensable factor for the successful reincarnation, that is, it is difficult for Tsutomu, as an artificial human, to have a soul. What remains of Orochimaru is not only his memories, but also his soul which is mixed with this body.

"I was curious about you, a scoundrel. I found you only for information about Obito. I guess Obito found you not long after he left Akatsuki."

Si's expression didn't change at all when listening to Ye Lan's teasing, as if he was talking about an irrelevant person.

He thought for a while and said, "Because it has not been long since I was reincarnated, all my memories have not been fully restored. I have only kept the most recent memories. If you want to ask about Obito, I will answer truthfully."

"If you want to ask about Obito, I can tell you that he did find me not long after you joined Akatsuki, but Orochimaru only knew his true identity shortly before his death."

Sure enough, there are some differences. If it were Orochimaru, he would never tell me the information so directly.

Everything has a price. Looking at Si in front of him who was much younger than himself, Ye Lan asked.

"What do I have to give in exchange?"

Si shook his head and said, "Ye Lanjun doesn't need to pay anything, just don't tell other people my information. I don't want to be disturbed."

Ye Lan looked at the other person again. He didn’t expect that the other person would be so kind. It made him feel a little unreal.

He continued speaking regardless of Ye Lan's strange expression.

"In order to deal with Obito, Orochimaru recently unsealed the Shikigami Seal and took back his arm. He also freed the souls of the four modern Hokage and used the Impure World Reincarnation, hoping to use it to fight against Obito."

As expected, no one should be underestimated. Orochimaru is truly a genius to some extent. Most ninjas in this world who want to become stronger are just following the old paths left by their predecessors, which have traces to follow.

No one else can do what Orochimaru does, as he has been able to forge his own path without any experience. The word "genius" cannot even describe Orochimaru's talent.

"The material for Impure World Reincarnation is a creature called White Zetsu. Ye Lan-kun should have seen them in the Akatsuki organization. They have a strong vitality and are very useful whether for artificial human experiments or as materials for Impure World Reincarnation. The strength of a ninja that comes out of the Impure World Reincarnation is infinitely close to that of the one before him."

Ye Lan had also heard this from Shisui. The strength of Mito and Hozuki Gengetsu that Sasuke and Kisame encountered was not comparable to that of ordinary people. They were definitely stronger than before.

Si Jian Ye Lan didn't interrupt him and continued speaking.

"It's just a pity that Senju Hashirama was too powerful, and Orochimaru was completely unable to control him, so he was killed by Obito in the end."

He briefly described the course of the battle, the several ninjas who were resurrected by Obito, and how Tobirama Senju finally released the Impure World Reincarnation and left the battlefield with the bodies of several Hokage.

"So Senju Hashirama only attacked once from beginning to end, and only this time did Obito have to use Izanagi to avoid death?"

He knew that Obito had taken back Kakashi's Sharingan, and that he was already able to open Susanoo. Judging from the description, it was at least the third stage of Susanoo.

Even with such an Impure World Body, Hashirama Senju could easily suppress him. If he had used his full strength, Obito would definitely not have had a chance of survival. However, it now seems that the other party is too Buddhist, and it is impossible to imagine how he founded Konoha.

He nodded. This was the situation. He didn't know anything else and he didn't care much about the subsequent developments.

"Thank you very much for the information. If nothing unexpected happens, Tobirama, the Second Hokage, may return to Konoha. If this is the case, it will be troublesome to capture the Nine-Tails."

Ye Lan scratched his head, wondering how the Impure World Reincarnation technique was invented. He didn’t feel much when it brought convenience to him, but when he knew that the other party had such a powerful back-up, he became a little puzzled.

"Ye Lan-kun, I've always been curious about what the purpose of your Akatsuki organization is now? I feel that everything in Yuyin has changed a lot since you joined Akatsuki..."

The only thing that makes Si curious now is Ye Lan's current purpose. Even though Ye Lan has deliberately restrained his momentum, Si has already seen that the other party's aura is even more powerful than that in Orochimaru's memory, and is not inferior to Hashirama Senju at all.
