Could it be Sai's brother, Shin?
Kawasaki stepped forward for a closer look and found that the hairstyle, attire, and age all matched.
"Orochimaru, can you cure this person's illness?"
Orochimaru walked over and gave it a quick pat.
"Lung disease cannot be cured."
"Out of options?"
Orochimaru shook his head: "No, just give him a whole cloned lung."
Organ cloning is quite expensive.
"Anything that can be settled with money isn't a problem. If you save this guy, his brother will be someone important too."
"You are short-staffed right now."
Orochimaru waved his hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter.
Kawasaki still remembered that Qiming was quite capable in scientific research, and when the opportunity arose, he would put Qiming under Orochimaru's command.
Kabuto isn't with Orochimaru now; how can Orochimaru manage without an ally?
Orochimaru pulled out a scroll: "Kawasaki, here's what you wanted."
Kawasaki took it and unfolded it, and sure enough, it was the Reaper's Seal Release.
"How are you feeling? Do you want to take a break?"
Upon hearing this, Da She Xiao 10016 said in group 1060928735 that Qunmaru excitedly rolled his tongue and asked, "What do you mean?"
Kawasaki nodded.
"Qiming, take Kabuto back. Arrange for the rest of you to stay in the Uchiha guest rooms."
"Kabuto, tell Kimimaro and the others what I'm planning to do. Also, give me the thing Orochimaru asked you to get."
"Red beans... give them to Dou too. Dou, find an excuse to get rid of the red beans."
"That kid who was saved by Bai is still useful. Let's keep him alive for now and save him when Orochimaru comes back."
After Kawasaki finished giving his instructions, he took the scroll handed to him by Kabuto and left with Orochimaru.
There wasn't much time to be affectionate with the little ones.
Jugo and Karin were fine, but Kimimaro and Haku looked a little disappointed. Kawasaki-sama was too busy to even have a chance to chat for a bit longer.
Kawasaki took two steps and then turned back, patting one of his heads with each hand.
"The situation is tense right now, so you guys need to step up your efforts."
Kimimaro and Haku immediately perked up.
"Yes! Kawasaki-sama!"
......
Kawasaki led Orochimaru on a long tour around Konoha.
After all, Namen-do is located behind Konoha.
If I had known this would happen, I should have come to pick it up sooner.
"Kawasaki-kun, I really think Kimimaro and Haku are good."
Kawasaki smiled and said, "Aren't they both exceptionally talented?"
Orochimaru said meaningfully, "This has little to do with aptitude. Both of them have good aptitude, but Haku is not suitable to be a ninja."
Orochimaru was half right; Kawasaki only took them in because of their exceptional talent.
Also, Kimimaro and Haku are on the same side.
They all longed to be needed.
And Kawasaki is the one who needs them.
Haku is indeed not suited to be a ninja; his personality is more suited to being a pharmacist or doctor.
But in the current ninja world, danger is imminent, and one cannot afford to waste one's talent.
At least you have the means to do what you want to do if you're alive.
If you don't work hard, you'll just be left hanging there, having your chakra drained, and eventually becoming a new White Zetsu after many years.
"I'll figure something out about this later."
Kawasaki was secretly plotting something with Itachi.
However, Itachi is still physically weak.
We'll have to wait a while longer.
Danzo's successful escape has indeed disrupted many of my plans, and many schemes now need to be re-planned.
"Orochimaru, have you prepared your 'Infernal Affairs' script yet?"
Orochimaru frowned: "What's 'Infernal Affairs' again?"
Kawasaki chuckled, realizing he'd let something slip: "Oh, it's that infiltration plan Itachi came up with before."
Back then, Orochimaru found Itachi's actions of running between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, acting as an undercover agent for both sides, quite interesting.
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and made a face: "Leave this to me, it's a piece of cake."
......
Outside Konoha Village
Kawasaki and Orochimaru moved with lightning speed, and in no time they had circled around to the back of Konoha Village.
The area is sparsely populated, with lush, towering trees that block out the sun.
Kawasaki followed the old map of the Uchiha clan and soon discovered a dilapidated building.
This is the relic left behind by the Uzumaki clan—Namendo.
It's been so long since anyone has come here.
Inside the Namian Hall, the pillars were full of cracks and holes, and one side of the wall had collapsed.
The roof was riddled with holes, and three rows of masks, totaling twenty-seven, hung on the front wall.
"arrive."
Kawasaki looked up at the masks.
Orochimaru stepped forward, looked around, and casually grabbed the correct one.
"Kawasaki-kun, what are your plans next? The Reaper Death Seal is a life-or-death business, and only I can fool the Grim Reaper."
Orochimaru seemed very interested; Kawasaki was like a treasure trove to him.
Whether it was the topics he brought up, his ideas, or his predictions about the future, everything about him was shrouded in mystery.
Kawasaki's claim that he could truly resurrect the dead piqued Orochimaru's curiosity even more.
In order to better cooperate with Orochimaru in the future, Kawasaki needs to give him a plausible explanation.
During this period of time, Kawasaki had already prepared his plan in his mind.
"As you know, I have awakened the ability to foresee the future."
Orochimaru nodded. Some of the questions Kawasaki raised should not have appeared in this era; they were quite prophetic.
"But my abilities are not limited to predicting the future."
"When I change the predetermined fate of some people, I will briefly gain their abilities, but I can only use them once, and it does not consume anything of my own."
Kawasaki's words made Orochimaru's eyes light up, and he looked infatuated, muttering repeatedly, "Amazing, truly amazing."
"The Rinnegan has a technique called the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, which can revive the dead at the cost of their lives, provided that their souls are not sealed."
"I can also use the Corpse Demon Seal. Whether it can be broken depends on the specific situation. If it doesn't work, there are other ways to go."
Now that Orochimaru no longer seeks reincarnation, he can no longer use his methods to toy with the Grim Reaper.
Therefore, Kawasaki decided to take charge himself.
"Let me try to get Minato's soul out first."
Kawasaki wasted no time, gave Orochimaru a brief instruction, put on the mask, and selected the Reaper Death Seal from the skill bar.
Even without hand seals, the Reaper Death Seal was still activated.
A cold wind blew by, and the illusory figure of the Grim Reaper gradually solidified behind Kawasaki, still holding the scythe in its mouth.
Kawasaki controlled the Grim Reaper following the steps of the Shiki Seal.
Death indeed raised his scythe and cut open his own abdomen.
With a single slash, Kawasaki was left without a wound; instead, an illusory figure took the hit.
A wisp of soul fire emerged from the belly of Death and then vanished into the air.
The Grim Reaper behind Kawasaki slowly disappeared into the horizon.
"Phew..." Kawasaki exhaled, his skills were indeed very flexible and versatile.
I never expected that the Corpse Demon Seal could also be used to unseal it.
Looking at the skill bar, the number of uses of the Corpse Demon Seal decreased from 1 to 0, and then disappeared.
Kawasaki also breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is it, Kawasaki-kun?" Orochimaru had witnessed everything from the side, and now he truly understood the wonder of (Nori's) Kawasaki.
Kawasaki used the Reaper Death Seal directly without forming hand seals or drawing chakra.
Furthermore, after using the Reaper Death Seal, Kawasaki's soul was not taken away; instead, something else took his place.
Kawasaki steadied himself: "It's alright now. Next, it's time to revive Minato."
"We'll leave the Edo Tensei (resurrection technique) to you; after all, you're an expert. We'll talk to Minato and then bring him back to life."
Orochimaru's face revealed a sickly smile.
