Chapter 718 My dear Itachi-san!
As Uncle Snake performed the spell.
The next moment, a coffin quickly rose from the spiritual formation.
"Reincarnation from the dirty soil!"
"What kind of technique is that?"
Boruto was shocked when he heard this forbidden technique, while Kawaki looked confused. However, looking at Boruto's reaction, it is known that this is probably not a simple ninjutsu.
"I heard from my father and master that it is an absolutely forbidden technique that can revive the dead!"
"Forbidden technique to resurrect the dead? Wouldn't that be able to resurrect your mother?"
"It's different! Father said that it is a forbidden technique that desecrates the dead. Not only does it require the sacrifice of the lives of the living, but it will also defile the souls of the dead. It is very dangerous. It must not be used casually. Besides, that kind of resurrection is not a resurrection at all."
Boruto couldn't imagine the horrific scene where his mother would have to obey Orochimaru completely after being resurrected by the Impure World Resurrection.
Not to mention that I can't accept it, even my father Naruto can't accept it!
"Your father? Otsutsuki Naruto? He knows so much about Impure World Reincarnation?"
"He's right. But extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."
"Moreover, not everyone can learn and perform this forbidden technique..."
Boruto's explanation made Snake even more confused.
I always feel that Boruto Otsutsuki actually knows myself and the entire Konoha Village better than Uzumaki Kawaki. This is indeed a bit suspicious.
"Who do you want to filth?"
"You'll know right away."
Uncle Snake patted the coffin beside him, and the coffin lid opened, revealing the figure inside.
"The First Hokage!"
"Who?"
Kawaki seems like a rookie and doesn't really know much about Konoha's history.
"The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!"
To be honest, Boruto didn't expect Orochimaru to play such a big game.
There are so many powerful ninjas who have died in history who have the power to rival the Eight-Tails, but Orochimaru directly created one of the strongest ninjas through the Impure World Reincarnation.
A ninja known as the [God of Ninja]!
Of course, Uncle Snake is no joke.
The reason why he appointed the Evil World Hashirama was due to his considerations.
First of all: With Hashirama Senju's strength, except for Naruto, he can guarantee 100% success in taking down any tailed beast or jinchūriki.
Secondly, Hashirama has no mercy on life other than humans, and he was the one who captured all the tailed beasts. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem to ask him to help capture the Eight-Tails.
Finally: When Kakashi told him about Sarada and Sumire's memory problems, Orochimaru had some doubts. But since he was in Konoha Village, it was difficult to perform forbidden techniques to verify it.
Now that he has left the village and sensed something unusual about the identities of Boruto and Kawaki, he naturally wanted to unearth a dead person as a witness.
Can this be used to verify whether there is any deviation in your memory?
next moment.
The Evil World Hashirama opened his eyes and regained consciousness.
"I'm...reincarnated again?"
"Shodaime-sama, I'm sorry to bother you after such a long time."
"You are? Orochimaru?"
The Edo Tensei Hashirama recognized Orochimaru immediately. Although Orochimaru's appearance had changed a lot, his chakra had not changed, so it could not be hidden from Hashirama.
"it's me."
"Hahaha! We meet again!"
"But am I the only one here this time? It looks like I'm in trouble again?"
Hashirama put his hands on his hips and smiled brightly.
He was not angry when faced with the offense of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique; Hashirama had always been very tolerant, and even though he did not like the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation, he would not blame the younger generation of ninjas.
That’s right, even Orochimaru was just an excellent junior ninja in Hashirama’s eyes, and he was Monkey’s disciple at that.
"I'm in a bit of trouble and need your help."
Uncle Snake smiled. As expected, this first-generation adult was the easiest to talk to and the most reasonable.
Even though he might not be able to restrain him, he didn't need to worry about Hashirama posing a threat to him.
To put it simply: it is possible for Hashirama to kill Orochimaru, but it is unlikely that Hashirama can really kill Orochimaru.
Unless I really want to destroy Konoha Village...
"Is it a bother? It doesn't matter if I help."
"But since you are still alive, then those two children, Naruto and Sasuke, should also be alive, right?"
"With them here, is there any trouble that can't be solved?"
At the end of the Fourth World War, even the Six Paths Sage admitted that Naruto and Sasuke had surpassed him to a certain extent, and could even defeat Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
With those two kids in charge of the entire ninja world, is there any trouble that cannot be solved?
If it's a big problem that even the two of them can't solve, even Edoru himself may not be able to solve it, right?
"Otsutsuki Naruto and Otsutsuki Sasuke? They..."
"Wait...what are Otsutsuki Naruto and Otsutsuki Sasuke? Aren't they Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke? When did they change their last names?"
Hashirama was stunned, looking confused.
I don't understand why Naruto and Sasuke suddenly changed their surnames?
Even if it's marrying into the wife's family, it should be changed to Hinata Naruto, or Haruno Sasuke, right?
What's more, with their abilities, who would dare to let them marry into the family?
Is the Hyuga clan tired of living?
When the Edo Hashirama said this, not only did Snake feel shocked, but it also gave Boruto and the others hope.
"Master Shodai, do you still remember your father and master? Has your memory been tampered with?!!"
Boruto asked with great excitement.
In this loneliness of being forgotten and hated by the whole world, he also very much longs to find other companions whose memories have not been distorted.
Even if the other person is not a living person!
"You are?"
"I am Uzumaki Boruto, and my father is Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Ah! Naruto's child? He already has a child? And it's so big now, so good..."
Hashirama was overjoyed. No wonder the yellow-haired kid in front of him looked more and more familiar. After all, there were not many yellow-haired ninjas in the entire ninja world.
"Great! You really do remember your father. Your memory has not been tampered with!"
"Kid, wait a moment and explain slowly. What do you mean by memory tampering? What happened to Naruto?" Hashirama became more and more confused and asked calmly.
And at the same time.
Orochimaru also got the exact answer.
The Otsutsuki Naruto and Sasuke in my memory are indeed different from the Naruto and Sasuke in the Impure World Hashirama's memory!
Between myself and the Evil World Hashirama, one of us must have wrong memories!
Considering that Hashirama had just been brought out of the Impure World and his soul had been in the Pure Land world under the protection of the Six Paths Sage, the chances of his memory being tampered with were extremely low.
That is enough to show that there is a high probability that there is something wrong with my memory!
"Let me explain."
"But we need to confirm again, does Lord Hashirama have any memories of Uzumaki Jigen and Uzumaki Code?"
Uncle Snake took the initiative to ask, ready to make a final confirmation.
"No...wait..."
Hashirama denied it without hesitation, but suddenly his body froze, and his consciousness and memory seemed to be affected and distorted in some way.
My answer became a little vague.
"Uzumaki Jigen? Uzumaki Kaode?"
"Something's wrong. Where have I heard this name before?"
"I remember now! Uzumaki Jigen is the son of the Yondaime, right?"
"I seem to have forgotten a lot of memories...but they are slowly coming back."
"Damn, my consciousness is a little confused..."
The Evil World Hashirama covered his head and frowned, as if he was suffering some kind of mental torture, or as if someone who had lost his memory for a long time suddenly recalled some memories.
But these memories conflicted violently with the original memories, causing confusion and pain in consciousness.
"What's going on? He's not in a good condition..."
Uncle Snake frowned and also noticed something unusual about Hashirama.
This contradictory answer is enough to show that Hashirama's memory has also begun to have problems. You know, even Madara's eternal Mangekyō Sharingan illusion can't confuse Hashirama's will.
It is almost certain that this is not the influence of an illusion!
"It was the Almighty who tampered with the memories of the First Generation!"
"what?"
Boruto continued: "It's a divine art released by the Otsutsuki, and the effect of [Almighty] is lasting. Just like Amado, even if he realizes that there is a problem with his memory, it won't be long before it is forced to correct it!"
Boruto guessed the reason for Hashirama's abnormality.
Hashirama, who had just been released from the Impure World Reincarnation, must have had complete and normal memories, which is why he remembered the identities of Naruto and the others.
However, the effect of the divine spell [Omnipotence] is continuous, like a mental force field covering the entire world. Even if someone's memory is restored or an abnormality is discovered, it will be forcibly corrected by that force.
Just like Amado, even if he realizes that his memory has been tampered with, he still needs to use glasses to replay the truth every day to ensure his normal consciousness.
At this moment, Hashirama had undoubtedly been affected by the omnipotence, and his memory began to be gradually tampered with and distorted.
really.
Even as strong as the God of Ninja, without the power of the Six Paths, he still cannot resist the might of the Almighty!
In other words, it was already very powerful that after the Edo World Hashirama was resurrected, his memory and cognition were not corrected all at once by the omnipotent.
"Magic?"
"Continuous memory correction? There is such a terrifying power?"
"Sbarasi!"
Orochimaru was horrified, but also extremely excited.
After seeing the power of divine arts that surpassed ninjutsu, bloodline web, and even the Infinite Tsukuyomi, how could Snake not be excited?
There really is no limit to science and power!
“What’s so great about that? If the Shodaime-sama’s memory is also distorted, it will be troublesome!”
Boruto cannot understand the scientific madman Orochimaru's desire for research. He is only worried that if Lord Hashirama becomes an enemy, what is the point of their fight?
Boruto knows that the first generation has power second only to his father and master.
With the current situation of Kawaki and I, we are not even enough to fill the gaps in other people's teeth!
Listen to this.
Orochimaru also realized the crux of the problem.
Senju Hashirama, whose memory has not been tampered with, is naturally the most trustworthy partner and strong partner, even though Snake cannot completely control Hashirama.
But if Hashirama's memory was also tampered with and he regarded Boruto as his enemy, Otsutsuki Boruto, then it would be troublesome.
Maybe he will break free from his control and kill Boruto on the spot!
After all, the more determined a person is in his beliefs and will, the less likely he is to doubt his own cognition and goals; after his memory was tampered with, Hashirama would not have the same "spirit of doubt" as Orochimaru.
In short, the Edo Tensei Hashirama can no longer stay with Boruto.
"Master Hashirama, this is a device for tracking tailed beasts. My clone will go with you to hunt down the Eight-Tails. Can you please capture it?"
"Is it possible that the Eight-Tails could threaten the village? No problem, I'll be back soon."
Although Hashirama's memory is still a little confused, he has no problem recognizing Uncle Snake's identity.
He readily agreed to Orochimaru's request and left with his clone to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
As for success or not?
Are you kidding? No matter how bad the Edo Tensei Hashirama's condition is, even if he gives up 999 hands, he can easily defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
that's it.
After temporarily sending the Impure World Hashirama away, Orochimaru looked at Boruto and the others again.
Boruto has already exited the Wedge One form, his face feels a little weak, but he can still hold on.
"Is it okay to let the Shodaime in this state capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"Don't worry, my clone is following you. If anything unexpected happens, I can cancel the Impure World Reincarnation at any time."
Even though we still don't know why Boruto and the others want to catch the Eight-Tails, it won't be a wrong idea to catch it first. Snake won't mind having more research materials in his hands.
"Let's talk about the divine arts issue we just mentioned?"
"What do you want to know?"
"That magic is the culprit that tampered with everyone's memory, right?"
"That's right!"
"You just said that even if memory abnormalities are discovered, that power will forcibly correct the memory and cognition?"
"Yes! Even if you have a problem now, it won't be long before your memory is corrected and you forget and ignore all abnormalities."
Boruto explained that this was the reason why he didn't confess everything to Orochimaru at first.
It would be a waste of time to explain it anyway.
It won't be long before Orochimaru forgets everything.
Finding a way to truly crack [omnipotence] is the most effective cure!
"Is there any way to break this magic?"
"No. Master and we are still searching..."
"Then is there any way to temporarily alleviate the correction of this power?"
Uncle Snake kept asking questions tirelessly. He just didn't believe in perfect abilities without weaknesses!
"Yes. Amado uses the daily video playback to remind himself of the truth, and the monk Guoxin is forcibly controlled by the master's illusion. At present, it seems that there are only these two temporary solutions..."
"Physical prompts and mental manipulation? I see..."
Uncle Snake nodded, thinking for a moment.
If he doesn't find a way to resist the Almighty's continuous modification of his memory, then all the truths he has learned now will be forgotten. Uncle Snake cannot accept the fact that he will continue to be manipulated and played around with.
"In other words, as long as you have the power of illusion that surpasses the Infinite Tsukuyomi, you will be able to resist the memory tampering of the almighty divine art?"
"Impossible! Master's illusion is already the strongest in the world. His illusion cannot offset the impact. He can only continue to barely control the target. Is there a stronger illusion master than Master?"
A master of illusion who is stronger than his master Sasuke?
How could it exist?
The master can only continue to control Master Guoxin. Once the illusion is broken, Master Guoxin’s memory will be immediately distorted by the omnipotence.
Boruto doesn't think anyone can do it better than his master.
"Otsutsuki Sasuke? Or Uchiha Sasuke? He is indeed very strong, but in terms of illusion skills, he may not be the best in the ninja world."
Uncle Snake started to prepare as he spoke.
He quickly drew two layers of spiritual formations on the ground, and took out personal information materials and two sacrificial Bai Jue.
"you want?"
"Another Impure World Reincarnation."
"Who else do you want?"
"The only ones who can be more proficient in illusion than the Uchiha are the Uchiha ninjas."
"Ah? You want Master Udon's clansman? Who are they?"
"Of course it's Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui. I haven't seen Itachi-san for a long time, I miss him so much..."
Uncle Snake grinned grimly and almost couldn't help licking his lips.
Boruto and Kawaki looked at each other and neither chose to stop it.
They could see that Orochimaru was really trying to overcome the effects of the divine art.
Naturally, they had no reason to stop it. Even if they could get one more ally whose memory was restored to normal, it would be invaluable to them.
In just a few moments, Uncle Snake had already arranged a new Impure Earth Ritual.
"Okay."
"Come out, my dear Itachi-san!"
"Reincarnation from the dirty soil!"
