Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 72 Impure World Reincarnation Acquired

On the Konoha rescue side, the group followed closely behind the fragrant insect, advancing rapidly...

Kakashi frowned slightly as he looked at the country shrouded in dark clouds ahead. "It seems we're approaching the Land of Rain."

What is Akatsuki doing here? As for the Land of Rain, Kakashi's memory is that in recent years the Land of Rain has had little interaction with the outside world and is somewhat xenophobic. Judging from the current situation, could these circumstances be related to Akatsuki?

Jiraiya, who had some suspicions about this, felt a bit gloomy. The situation was indeed developing in the worst possible way. However, Uzumaki Reikawa should still be alive, but he didn't know the specifics of his condition.

Now that Naruto has figured out the relationship and the cause and effect, he is no longer the unreliable person he used to be. He looks solemn with a somewhat downcast look in his eyes, as if he is thinking about something...

Sasuke, who was standing to the side, was unsure whether to be happy or unhappy when he saw Naruto like this. He was no longer the usual loud and boisterous Naruto and seemed to have become a little unlike himself. Just as he was about to say something to comfort him, he suddenly heard...

"I can't hold it in anymore..." Naruto suddenly started running in a distorted way, twisting and turning.

Sasuke: "??"

Yamato, who didn't know Naruto well enough to know him yet and was following behind, saw Naruto's somewhat 'painful' expression and asked with a serious expression, "Is it Kurama causing trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi turned to look at Naruto, his deadpan eyes widening instantly, as if he knew exactly what was going on.

Noticing everyone turning to look at him, Naruto gave an awkward chuckle, then immediately stopped, clutching his stomach with a pained expression. He shouldn't have drunk so much water before setting off because he was thirsty. "No! No! Um, you guys go ahead, I need to pee..."

The serious atmosphere was immediately broken, and a subtle liveliness emerged...

"..." Sasuke rubbed his forehead. Sure enough, he shouldn't have worried about that idiot. The idiot was still the same idiot! As he thought this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it, as if it were just an illusion if you didn't look closely.

……

"According to my memory, this should be the place..." Bone-kun walked around, stopping to think, mainly because this place was really hard to find.

Just then, Kabuto suddenly leaped out from behind the side stone wall, striking a pose somewhat like The Thinker, and landed perfectly. Looking at the person in front of him wearing a white mask and with short white hair, Kabuto stood up, smiled, and adjusted his glasses. "Hone-kun?"

"..." Ainz Ooal Gown smirked at his obviously flamboyant entrance, intending to ignore him. Then, glancing around, he frowned and asked in a rather unfriendly tone, "Orochimaru isn't here?"

Faced with the sudden coldness emanating from Ainz Ooal Gown, Kabuto's expression stiffened. Knowing that he might be killed if he didn't get to the point, he immediately said, "Don't misunderstand, we are very sincere about this deal. It's just that Lord Orochimaru hasn't been in good condition lately, and he has lost some energy while trying to evade the Akatsuki's pursuit. He only sent me out as a precaution, and I have absolutely no intention of looking down on Genko."

Upon hearing this, Bone-kun immediately understood how Obito had discovered he was a dead man. Moreover, putting himself in Orochimaru's shoes, he couldn't have been careless in such a situation, given his numerous misdeeds and the bounty on his head at the Gold Exchange.

Ordinary ninjas simply lacked the ability to kill him, while those who could find it troublesome, thus maintaining a semblance of peace. However, Genjutsu was caught in the middle, fully capable of attacking him. According to Orochimaru's known information, if Genjutsu were to gather everyone to set a trap for him, he might not be able to escape. In short, Orochimaru chickened out.

Following Kabuto to the stone wall, he pressed a button, and the stone wall in front of him automatically opened a passage that could be passed by one person. Kabuto went in first and then gestured for Ainz to follow.

Looking at the pocket with its back exposed in front of him, Ainz shrugged. This guy is really confident.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru was conducting experiments on Kimimaro, adjusting various parameters. However, no matter what he did, even transplanting some of the cultivated White Zetsu cells, it only seemed to improve the situation. As long as Kimimaro still wanted to use his bloodline limit, the bloodline disease could not be eliminated. This only delayed the onset of the bloodline disease.

Even this kind of cell transplantation didn't work? Orochimaru pondered, his gaze falling on some data from when Kimimaro began training his bloodline limit ability after the cell transplant.

At first, things were fine; the cells were able to recover, and with training, Kimimaro's bloodline ability did indeed increase. However, as his ability increased, the damage to his body increased with each use of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse). Gradually, the small portion of White Zetsu cells that had been transplanted could not keep up with the consumption...

Seeing this, Orochimaru secretly wondered: Perhaps the research direction was wrong from the beginning, or perhaps this disease is the bloodline limit itself? But if that were the case, how did Honinbo, who also has the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), avoid this situation? And he seemed to be completely unaffected.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Orochimaru smiled and licked his lips with his long, wet tongue. It seemed that he would have an answer soon.

However, as soon as Bone-kun stepped out of the passage and saw the light, the first thing he saw was Orochimaru licking his lips, and he immediately froze – it was still disgusting!

"I really don't want to say it, but please keep your tongue to yourself when you talk to me later." Bone-kun walked out slowly, his tone as if he was speechless with disgust.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's expression softened somewhat, and he smiled nonchalantly, saying, "Of course, but I hope you can cooperate with me on a few small experiments later, and answer some of my questions as well. Of course, this is the 'reward' I promised Genjutsu."

As he spoke, Orochimaru tossed a scroll to Ainz Ooal Gown. Ainz Ooal Gown caught the scroll and looked relieved under his mask, thankful that Orochimaru hadn't taken the scroll out of his mouth.

Just as they received the item, on the other side, Uchiha Gen's system suddenly popped up, asking if he wanted to learn the complete version of the Impure World Reincarnation.

"You got your hands on Bone-kun so quickly?" Uchiha Gen hadn't expected this. He had thought he would have to spend time figuring things out after obtaining the Edo Tensei. He immediately selected: Confirm!

At the same time, various kinds of knowledge and techniques slowly surfaced in his mind. Ignoring them for the time being, Uchiha Gen created a clone and disbanded it, passing on this knowledge to Ainz Ooal Gown.

Upon suddenly receiving the memories, Ainz looked at the scroll as if he were examining something. "Actually, we have some understanding of the Impure World Reincarnation. If what you gave us is real, then we will not go back on our word. As long as the experiment does not threaten my own safety, I will do my best to cooperate."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly. "Of course, I've said before that I'm very sincere about this cooperation." He can actually understand it? But the item is indeed real. The reason he didn't try to deceive was mainly because Genjutsu could even get the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan, so it's not surprising that he knows some information about the Impure World Reincarnation.

Although his version was an improved one, it wasn't the only one, which is why Orochimaru handed over the Edo Tensei so readily.

I wonder if Orochimaru will regret it later.
