Chapter 691
[“At least it’s better than not seeing any hope!”]
[“Oh, Sasuke finally appears!”]
[“After Naruto’s words, Sasuke appears. Well... the meaning is too obvious.”]
[The screen stretches, and Orochimaru, Suigetsu, and Jūgo, who are also wearing cloaks, also appear. The four of them stand in front of a damaged temple with the Uzumaki clan’s emblem. As Orochimaru sighs, Sasuke takes the lead and walks into the temple. Looking at the evil ghost masks hanging on the wall, he asks, “Which one is it?”]
[Orochimaru takes a step forward, takes off one of the masks after a careful inspection, and turns to the few people in the gloomy atmosphere that Suigetsu feels a little uncomfortable, saying, “Let’s go to the place where all the secrets are sleeping.”]
[The four of them leave the temple and continue to set off. After a while, they arrive in a village. Sasuke Suddenly he jumped up from the street, and after a few jumps, he landed on a high water tower. With complicated eyes, he looked at the Hokage Rock on the mountain wall not far away and everything in his field of vision: "This place has also...changed a lot."]
[Suiyue was puzzled by Sasuke's sudden action, but Orochimaru knew how Sasuke felt at the moment: "It's the same as before I planned to destroy Konoha..."]
[In Suiyue's question, Orochimaru explained: "Even if he and the village have changed, this is his hometown after all. He needs some time to immerse himself in sentimentality and reconfirm his determination by recalling the past."]
[Suiyue immediately understood, and then looked at Orochimaru, testing him with the matter of destroying Konoha. After all, Konoha's combat power has all gone to the front line to participate in the war, and no one in the village can stop them.]
[And Orochimaru was unprecedentedly gentle when he heard this question. After giving an ambiguous answer, he specifically pointed out that they are no longer snakes. 】
["Hey! Why is Orochimaru here? How did these people get together?"]
["What happened after Sasuke defeated Kabuto? Where are they now?"]
["The Uzumaki clan's emblem, a ruin..."]
["Tsk, can't you be more clear? What "a place where all secrets lie dormant"? It's really... weird!"]
["Hey! These people actually ran to Konoha!"]
["They sneaked in quietly, which is not surprising at all."]
["With Orochimaru here, and Konoha's main fighting force must be on the front line, there's no need to make a fuss about this."]
[""Confirm your determination"... Oh, the one who destroyed Konoha."]
["After all, he just met Itachi not long ago. After knowing what he did, Sasuke may have changed his mind at this time. ”]
[“It’s not clear whether Sasuke has changed, but Orochimaru has definitely changed. He looks a bit like the future.”]
[“Indeed, he looks quite friendly.”]
Sasuke, who had just finished investigating an Uchiha ruin and was now staying in a small town, looked at the amiable Orochimaru on the sky with a strange expression: “This kind of atmosphere...”
“Among the four people, Sasuke seems to be the main one...” Orochimaru licked his tongue and said to himself curiously: “What was I thinking at that time... Was it because I had just been resurrected and was lurking before my power was restored...”
[The scene changed, and the four people appeared in the ruins of the Uchiha Nanga Shrine. Sasuke used a seal to move a huge stone slab with three magatama and sealing techniques, and took the three people to the underground secret room to find the truth of everything.]
[In front of the stone tablet passed down from generation to generation by the Uchiha, as two clusters of flames ignited, Orochimaru took the initiative to step forward and let the other three He moved away slightly, and then put on the mask he had taken before without hesitation. 】
【A ball of chakra instantly ignited Orochimaru's whole body like a flame. Amid his uncontrollable cry of pain, a strange and hideous huge shadow appeared out of thin air behind him. It was none other than the god of death summoned by the Shiki Fuujin. 】
【Sasuke looked at the scene in front of him coldly, and remembered the scroll he had obtained not long ago and Orochimaru's explanation - using the god of death mask in the Namen Hall of the Uzumaki clan as a medium to summon the god of death, and then breaking the belly of the god of death at the cost of the summoner's life, so as to retrieve the things sealed in the god of death. 】
["Do you feel like Sasuke is in charge..."]
["Sasuke is the strongest among the four now, so it's normal for him to be in charge."]
["Who knows what purpose Orochimaru has? Don't underestimate him before everything is settled. ”]
[“Nanga Shrine, Uchiha Stele, the one that records the Mangekyo, what are they trying to do here…”]
["Hey! This ghost is not that..."]
["Immortal Reincarnation, the sealing technique that costs one's life!"]
["This is to unlock the seal... Wait! I remember that the seal in this Shinigami is..."]
["Wow! Four Hokage, are we going to revive them next?"]
["Hahaha! If the First Hokage is resurrected, won't someone be able to deal with Uchiha Madara? And with the addition of the other three Hokage, it turns out that this is the opportunity for the coalition to win!"]
["Obito also suffered at the hands of the Fourth Hokage. In this way, he can directly exchange the two opponents and concentrate on dealing with the Ten-Tails .”]
[“Let’s see what the situation is first. Maybe Orochimaru just wants to get back the souls that belong to his hands.”]
[“Speaking of which, Orochimaru’s sacrifice is too great. It’s not worth it to use his life to remove this seal, even if it’s to get back his soul.”]
[“Ha! There are still people who doubt Orochimaru’s ability to save his life! Every time everyone thought he was gone, he would appear alive again not long after. No matter how you think about it, he can’t fall here.”]
“Shiki Fujin... can actually be removed!” Kushina looked surprised, but she quickly figured out the logic.
The vitality of the Uzumaki clan is indeed very strong, but no matter how you look at it, it can’t be compared with Orochimaru’s ability to save his life.
Besides, those who can be sealed by this trick must be enemies that they can’t deal with. In this case, naturally no one will use their own life as a price to release the soul.
Moreover, they did not use the means of soul bodies, so even if the seal was unlocked, it would have no effect, so it was not surprising that Kushina did not understand this.
[And the current situation is indeed developing as Orochimaru described. At the moment when the abdomen of the god of death was cut open, Orochimaru took back the souls of his hands, and at the same time, the four soul bodies sealed in it were released. 】
