According to subsequent inquiries, Uzumaki Nagato's legs were not injured during the operation to eliminate the Akatsuki organization.
In other words, with Nagato Uzumaki's current physical condition, he does not need to create Six Paths puppets to perform various tasks for him. He can use all the abilities of the Six Paths of the Rinnegan by himself.
Uchiha Obito who still has both eyes, and Uzumaki Nagato who is not disabled, the two are undoubtedly nearly twice as strong as in the original!
Hatake Akira is confident that he can hold back and subdue Uchiha Obito, but if an Uzumaki Nagato is added...
Hatake Akira didn't dare to make any guarantees at all.
Although there are three super-kage-level fighters in Konohagakure Village, namely Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, and Sakumo Hatake, with the addition of Hatake Akira there are four in total.
It is definitely a winning situation when four are against two.
But then again, Uchiha Obito also possesses rogue spatial abilities, and the Hidden Leaf Village is completely defenseless against him.
With Uchiha Obito leading the way, he and Uzumaki Nagato will definitely be able to come and go freely in the Hidden Leaf Village.
what does this mean? !
This means that the powerful Konohagakure Village will inevitably suffer great losses due to the energy released by the complementary abilities of the two people.
If Uchiha Obito's brain was a little more normal by then, he would lead Uzumaki Nagato to fight a guerrilla war against the Hidden Leaf Village...
The scene can already be imagined.
Perhaps except for Minato Namikaze, Akira Hatake, Kakashi Hatake and Sakumo Hatake, everyone in Konoha Village will be under the threat of death from Uchiha Obito and Uzumaki Nagato.
This is the disadvantage of having concerns. When dealing with the enemy, you have to distract yourself and consider the people behind you who need protection, which will undoubtedly give the enemy another opportunity.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. This sentence could not be more appropriate to describe Uchiha Obito and Hatake Akira at this time.
Therefore, if Hatake Akira wants to solve this dilemma, he has only two options.
One is to subdue and kill Uchiha Obito;
The second is to resurrect Nohara Rin and bring back Uchiha Obito who has fallen into darkness.
Qi Muming was confident that he could achieve the above two points, but after comparing the two methods, Qi Muming still chose the second method.
Uchiha Obito is a genius, and his combat power and abilities are worthy of Hatake Akira's attention. In the major changes in the future, he can provide considerable help to Hatake Akira.
But if they want to implement the second method and resurrect Nohara Rin, Orochimaru will become an obstacle that cannot be avoided.
However, with the tacit approval of Minato Namikaze and the full support of Akira Hatake, Orochimaru made smooth sailing on the road of scientific research. His progress was so terrifying that even Akira Hatake was a little surprised.
A secret laboratory that Konoha opened specifically for Orochimaru.
In a corridor paved with whole marble slabs, the sound of two pairs of footsteps came from far away.
Two figures were reflected on the smooth and flat surface, they were Orochimaru and Hatake Akira who was walking side by side with him.
"Ming Jun, how do you feel about the environment here?"
Walking in the corridor, Orochimaru pointed at the many items displayed in the corridor and asked Hatake Akira with a smile.
"It's OK, not too spooky."
Qi Muming carefully felt the surrounding environment and gave a relatively pertinent evaluation.
Orochimaru no longer has to conduct research in secret. With the full support of Konoha Village, the conditions for scientific research in all aspects are simply excellent.
And because of this, Orochimaru's mentality is slowly returning to normal. Although he still does some crazy things occasionally, they are still more or less within the controllable range.
The above two points are the real key points to make this test base more "sunny".
"Haha, I think so too."
Orochimaru nodded slightly, then looked at Hatake Akira hopefully, "Ming-kun, I remember you said at the beginning that you would fully support my scientific research career."
Hearing Orochimaru say this, Hatake Akira raised his eyebrows and his heart skipped a beat.
With a hint of madness in his voice, Hatake Akira glared at Orochimaru, "I say, you haven't spent all the research funds again, have you?!"
"You are the one who understands me the best, wise lord."
Orochimaru grinned, "I have been interested in many research projects recently, so...it is inevitable that the expenses are high."
"Orochimaru, that's not how you calculate the accounts!"
Hatake Akira stretched out his hand and scratched his silver hair, almost pulling out a few strands. "I remember last month... half of the compensation for the defeat of the Wind Country was given to you!"
"Ming Jun, you may not know how much research funds are spent."
Orochimaru showed a very embarrassed expression at the right time, "And there are only a few hundred million in research funds, which is nothing but a drop in the bucket for some very important research."
"For example, the relationship between the body and the soul. The cost of this research project alone would be over 100 million taels."
Glancing at the silent Hatake Akira next to him, Orochimaru showed a sly smile, "Akira-kun, add another 10 billion... no, 7 million!"
"As long as you add another 7 million taels of funds, I will be able to revive Nohara Lin within two months!"
"Are you sure you're not trying to blackmail me into continuing to increase your research funding?" Hatake Akira looked at Orochimaru suspiciously. He didn't believe what he said at all in his heart.
"how come!"
Orochimaru flatly denied it, and then pulled Hatake Akira forward, "Let me show you my research results, and you will believe everything I just said."
Hatake Akira didn't say anything else and followed Orochimaru's footsteps and walked forward quickly.
The research base built for Orochimaru covered a large area. The two walked left and right for nearly two minutes before finally reaching their destination.
"arrive."
As Orochimaru finished his words, a huge metal gate appeared in front of Hatake Akira.
This metal gate is at least three people tall. Hatake Akira is not sure what its main metal composition is, but he can understand the complex sealing runes engraved on the metal gate.
"This is... a sealing technique used to bind something?"
Hatake Akira could recognize the general function of this large-scale sealing technique from the complicated sealing runes, but if he wanted to go deeper, Hatake Akira still had to study it carefully.
But with Orochimaru around, Hatake Akira might as well ask directly.
"As expected of a wise ruler, you can tell the specific effect of this sealing technique with just a glance."
Orochimaru first praised Hatake Akira, and then explained the specific function of this large-scale sealing technique for Hatake Akira with a smug look on his face.
"This sealing technique is one of my recent research results." Orochimaru pointed to the complicated sealing runes on the gate, "Its main function is just as Mingjun just judged, it exists for binding."
"And what this sealing technique binds is the soul."
"Soul?" Hatake Akira raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you could actually do it!"
“It’s not a very complicated matter.”
Orochimaru's expression was indifferent, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth betrayed his true thoughts.
"I just took the Kato clan's spirit transformation technique as a reference, incorporated some of the ideas of Impure World Reincarnation, and finally combined it with the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique to create it."
The more Hatake Akira listened to Orochimaru's explanation, the more he felt that Orochimaru was showing off.
“Are you showing off?”
Orochimaru didn't expect that Hatake Akira would ask so directly. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Haha, Mingjun, you really understand me!"
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, "Yeah, I'm just showing off!"
Orochimaru suddenly opened his arms, his face almost crazy, "I found a way to make human souls immortal, isn't this worth showing off?!"
"And I also discovered a very interesting existence. He may be one of the keys for me to further understand the truth of the ninja world!"
"This is indeed something you should brag about." Hatake Akira agreed, and then asked Orochimaru, "But I want to know, what incredible existence did you discover?"
"grim Reaper!"
"The God of Death?" Hatake Akira was suddenly shocked. "Is it the God of Death that exists in the Pure Land?"
"Correct!"
Orochimaru nodded, "I wonder if Ming-kun would be interested in coming in with me to see the true face of the God of Death?"
"what do you mean……"
Hatake Akira's brain froze for a moment. "The sealing technique on this metal gate is used to bind the god of death?!"
"if not?"
Orochimaru glanced at Hatake Akira, "If it weren't for the construction of this gate, my research funds wouldn't have run out so quickly."
After saying that, Orochimaru shook his head with some regret, "If I had more funds at that time, I could have used all chakra metal to build this door."
Gudong.
Hatake Akira suddenly swallowed his saliva, pointed at the metal gate in front of him, and asked Orochimaru with trembling words, "Are you saying that this metal gate contains chakra metal?"
"if not?"
Orochimaru spread his hands, "You don't think that ordinary metal materials can trap the spirit form of the god of death?"
"What's more, ordinary metal cannot withstand violent chakra, so the sealing technique of the Soul Binding Seal naturally cannot be engraved on it."
"So...how much chakra metal did you use?"
Hatake Akira has realized something, and he suddenly has the urge to curse Orochimaru for being a spendthrift!
"Just like other types of metals, 1:1."
Orochimaru calmly reported a ratio, "The cost of purchasing chakra metal is almost 7 million taels."
"7...7...hundred million...?"
"Yes." Orochimaru nodded, "For scientific research, I think this money is nothing."
"Besides, do you think 7 million taels is a lot?"
“Not much!”
Hatake Akira was heartbroken. Orochimaru actually spent so much money just to build a broken door!
"Compared to my research results, it's really not much."
Orochimaru's expression remained calm. "After all, Nohara Rin's resurrection also depends on this gate. Otherwise, we won't be able to keep Nohara Rin's spirit, that is, her soul."
"what do you mean……"
"Literally, Nohara Lin's soul is also bound behind this gate."
