Kabuto looked at the almost feminine Orochimaru in front of him and took a deep breath.
He then calmed himself down, collected his thoughts, and finally spoke.
"Lord Orochimaru, according to the information I have gathered..."
"Led by Madara Uchiha, he led the Akatsuki members and the White Zetsu army into the border of the Land of Grass."
"As for the Allied Shinobi Forces, led by the Fourth Raikage and Onoki, the two Kage led their shinobi army into the border of the Land of Grass as well."
"It seems that a major battle between them is inevitable."
At this moment, Orochimaru listened to Kabuto Yakushi's report, his long, golden pupils narrowed slightly, but he quickly relaxed.
"Indeed, they've all reached the border of the Land of Grass, so a battle is definitely going to break out."
At this moment, a hint of worry appeared in the eyes of the Pharmacist Kabuto standing to the side.
"Lord Orochimaru, if the Akatsuki and the Allied Shinobi Forces were to fight, wouldn't that affect our Otogakure?"
"Will it spread to other places..." Upon hearing this, Orochimaru stroked his chin, lost in thought.
After a short while, he shook his head slightly.
"Although the Sound Village is located within the Land of Grass, the battle between the Akatsuki and the Allied Shinobi Forces took place in the border region."
"I think...their battle shouldn't affect us."
After listening to Orochimaru's analysis, Kabuto thought for a moment and then nodded repeatedly.
"Well, probably not."
Immediately afterward, Kabuto pushed up his round black-rimmed glasses, which had slipped down to the tip of his nose, and asked again, "Lord Orochimaru, with the Akatsuki and the Allied Shinobi Forces about to clash, should we try to gain some benefits from this?"
"Of course we should try to get the benefits!" Orochimaru replied without hesitation.
"Then what should I do?" Yakushi Kabuto asked.
"Let me think about it." Orochimaru raised his right hand, elegantly rested his chin on his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he grinned and said, "Here's what we'll do. You only have one task: hide in the shadows and observe the casualties of the Akatsuki and the Allied Shinobi Forces. Once someone on either side is killed in battle, you take the opportunity to steal their body."
At this point, Orochimaru paused for a moment, then added another sentence.
"By the way, when you're taking corpses, don't just take any person. I need the corpses of powerful individuals. Ordinary ninjas are just dead; they're not worth studying. Got it?"
"Understood." Kabuto nodded repeatedly in response after receiving the mission.
He immediately prepared to carry out the mission.
however--
Just as Kabuto was about to leave the lab, Orochimaru's voice called out to him.
"Wait a minute, there's something else I need to ask you."
"Lord Orochimaru, may I ask you something?" Kabuto Yakushi said very respectfully.
"By the way, how's Sasuke's training going?" Orochimaru asked.
Upon hearing this, Kabuto looked up and thought for a moment before replying, "I talked to Sasuke before, and he said he's making good progress. Once his strength improves further, he'll go and take revenge on Itachi."
"Okay, I understand." Orochimaru nodded and waved for Kabuto Yakushi to leave.
Kabuto turned and left the laboratory.
At this moment, only Orochimaru remained in the room.
He watched Yakushi Kabuto's departing figure, his long, golden pupils swirling.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he grinned, muttering to himself.
"Hehe, now that I have obtained the art of immortality, it is time to properly study the Impure World Reincarnation technique."
The thought that he had resurrected Madara Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, yet was unable to control him, was unbearable.
After all that, I ended up being used as a tool?
For a moment, Orochimaru was extremely displeased!
Is this tolerable?
I stopped thinking about anything else.
Orochimaru focused all his attention on experimenting with the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
He wanted to delve deeper into the art of impure earth resurrection.
I'll try my best so that next time I summon a powerful being, they won't forcibly break free of my control!
We must seize control of the Edo Tensei!
Chapter 197 Onoki: That's right, he is Uchiha Madara himself!
The Land of Grass, a border region.
The Allied Ninja Forces.
Onoki and the Fourth Raikage both focused their gazes on the open area a hundred meters ahead.
"They're here! They're here!!!"
Onoki's gaunt old face looked very solemn, and his eyes revealed a deep meaning.
"Ah."
The Fourth Raikage nodded heavily in response.
five minutes ago.
As the two led the Allied Shinobi Forces on their journey, they sensed a massive amount of chakra approaching from a hundred meters ahead!
It's obvious without even thinking about it.
The appearance of such a large number of chakra users undoubtedly indicates they are members of the Akatsuki organization!
As the Akatsuki members drew closer to the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Onoki and the Fourth Raikage's expressions grew increasingly solemn.
At that moment, the Fourth Raikage turned to the army of ninja behind him and shouted, "Attention everyone! We are about to meet the Akatsuki, so you must remain highly vigilant and be ready to fight at any time!"
Upon hearing this, more than 80,000 ninjas nodded in unison.
Each of them wore a solemn expression.
Many ninjas even secretly swallowed, looking extremely nervous!
After reminding the ninja army, the Fourth Raikage continued to keep his eyes on the open area ahead.
The next moment, a large number of people poured into the previously empty space.
These people were all members of the Akatsuki organization and the 100,000-strong White Zetsu army.
Onoki and the Fourth Raikage, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately turned their attention to the Akatsuki members who were leading the charge.
When Onoki saw the leader of the Akatsuki group, his pupils contracted sharply, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his thin, bony face.
"This...how is this possible?!"
"Uchiha Madara!!!"
At this moment, Onoki's attention was entirely focused on Uchiha Madara.
He looked the other person up and down.
The more he looked, the more horrified he became!
His eyes revealed utter shock!
At the same time, the Fourth Raikage also focused his gaze on Madara Uchiha, and his expression changed drastically after hearing Onoki's exclamation.
He asked in a calm voice, "Tsuchikage, are you sure he is Uchiha Madara?!"
To tell the truth.
He saw Madara Uchiha with his own eyes.
But deep down, I still didn't want to believe that the other person was the real person.
after all--
Wasn't Madara Uchiha killed by Hashirama Senju?
How could that be wrong?
Moreover, how many years have passed now?
Even if Madara Uchiha were still alive, he would be on his last legs, wouldn't he?
How come she looks so young now?
While still in shock, Onoki was instantly brought back to his senses by the Fourth Raikage's question.
He immediately nodded heavily.
" Um!!!"
“I’m not seeing things!”
"That's Uchiha Madara!!!"
The Fourth Raikage gave Onoki a deep look, and seeing the other's confident expression, he couldn't help but gasp.
Now that even the most senior member, Onoki, has given such a definite answer, it's basically safe to say it's true.
The Fourth Raikage felt immense pressure at the thought of facing Madara Uchiha as his enemy, as if a mountain with no end in sight was pressing down on him.
Make it hard for him to breathe!
The Fourth Raikage's hands clenched into fists unnaturally, even with excessive force, causing his knuckles to make a series of bone-grinding sounds.
Judging from his appearance, it seemed as if he was about to have a major fight with Uchiha Madara at any moment.

the other side.
The Akatsuki members and the 100,000 White Zetsu who had rushed over all turned their attention to the Allied Shinobi Forces in front of them.
Madara Uchiha, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, naturally heard Onoki's horrified voice.
