Chapter 29 The Knife Picked Up Again
Uchiha Abyss...
This is the one Orochimaru is most interested in right now.
His knowledge of the basic Sharingan was limited, while his understanding of the Mangekyou Sharingan, a special form of evolution, remained extremely limited.
That's why we just launched a probing attack.
This tentative behavior differs from that in the original work.
Therefore, Itachi's counterattack was only a slight warning to Orochimaru.
After one round of testing...
Orochimaru, with his keen intuition as a top scientist in the ninja world, sensed that Uchiha Abyss had other plans besides destroying the world.
The masked man suddenly broke ties with Akatsuki...
Danzo became increasingly arrogant...
All of this made Orochimaru realize that Uchiha Gen possessed the Sharingan.
It possesses a unique ability to corrupt and interfere with mental processes.
Like a virus...
If the masked man really does bring Sasuke Uchiha back to the base, then Orochimaru will need to observe the masked man's Sharingan to see if it will cause Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan to become corrupted...
Thinking about this, Orochimaru fell into deep thought.
Both Itachi Uchiha and the masked man mentioned it...
Uchiha Awakening's Mangekyou Sharingan seems to be closely related to concepts such as wishes or dialogue.
According to his speculation, this ability should be very similar to the legendary Kotoamatsukami of Uchiha Shisui.
However, compared to Kotoamatsukami, Uchiha Awakening's eye technique is clearly darker, more aggressive, and more dangerous.
Just as Orochimaru was still immersed in these speculations, the air behind him suddenly distorted, and the masked man Obito reappeared silently.
Orochimaru...
Obito's indifferent voice slowly broke through his thoughts.
That's incredibly fast!
Orochimaru was shocked by Obito's speed.
"Lord Ban, thank you for your hard work."
Obito didn't say much, but casually tossed a few scrolls at Orochimaru's feet...
"These are the body samples you need, all collected from various parts of the ninja world. Next, I'll go and bring Uchiha Sasuke back."
Orochimaru bowed slightly and said humbly, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Madara."
Obito nodded, his gaze, though seen through the mask, remained coldly fixed on Orochimaru: "Don't disappoint me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well."
Obito did not linger; the space distorted again, and he quickly disappeared completely from the spot.
After confirming that the masked man had left, Orochimaru slowly crouched down and picked up the scroll left behind by Obito...
He then took out another special scroll that he had secretly prepared from his pocket.
Sealed within this scroll is none other than the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
The reason he didn't tell Obito about the plan to revive the Second Hokage was because, although he had confirmed that the relationship between Danzo and Obito wasn't entirely controlled by Uchiha Gen's single will...
However, one must proceed with caution to avoid Obito discovering one's other intentions too early.
Orochimaru's plan was very clear.
He hoped to revive the Second Hokage, bring Tobirama Senju back to Konoha, and use Tobirama's high prestige and strength in Konoha to seize power in a certain sense.
The current Akatsuki organization, the five great ninja villages...
There isn't a single person who can single-handedly control the entire ninja world, act decisively, and lead it in the fight against the cataclysmic disaster...
The first generation was powerful, but in other aspects...
Only the legendary Second Hokage has the right to save the ninja world.
The ninja world needs saving...
The Sharingan needs to be studied...
Orochimaru, who considers himself the smartest person in the ninja world, believes that the only way to break the deadly situation of planetary destruction is to summon Tobirama Senju back to the present world...
On the other hand...
In Orochimaru's view, the only person in the ninja world who could truly understand his thoughts and agree with his pursuits was probably the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
"I really went to great lengths to save the ninja world and Konoha... Sarutobi-sensei..."
Outside Konoha Village lies the Forest of Death.
Kakashi gazed silently at the rushing water, his expression focused and composed.
His understanding of the Sharingan deepened, and the constant stream of inspiration naturally led him to want to try more new ninjutsu.
He closed his eyes for a moment, then quickly opened them, and his fingers began to form hand seals at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, the rushing waterfall suddenly splashed water everywhere, and the violent flow of water was guided by an invisible force, surging upwards like a raging storm.
Water Release: Azure Rain!
As Kakashi's deep voice fell, the surging water rapidly dissipated in mid-air...
Countless fine and light water droplets form, spreading out in a dense, overwhelming mist.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and as his Sharingan spun rapidly, his gaze seemed to penetrate the mist, precisely capturing every tiny flow of chakra within it.
Immediately, he rapidly formed hand seals again, his expression becoming even more serious.
Water Escape: Frost Seal!
The next moment, the originally ethereal and light mist instantly condensed into a terrifying chill, and the temperature plummeted.
In an instant, the surrounding leaves and grass were covered with a layer of glistening frost, and even the air seemed to be frozen.
Kakashi quickly pulled out several kunai from his ninja tool bag and hurled them with a sudden swing of his arm.
The kunai sped through the cold mist, but before it had gone far, it was quickly covered with a thick layer of frost due to the extreme cold, and crashed to the ground with a crisp sound.
Kakashi watched all this quietly, a hint of satisfaction mixed with a touch of surprise in his eyes.
Ever since his Sharingan could close freely and was freed from its previous constraints...
He had thought he would prioritize developing the Lightning Blade or other more powerful Lightning Release ninjutsu, but unexpectedly, in just a few days, all the new techniques he created were Water Release techniques.
However, the surprises brought by Water Release ninjutsu are in no way inferior to those of Lightning Release.
In particular, the Water Release technique that was just used, with its special ability to freeze the enemy's movements, combined with the environmental restrictions and sensory barriers created by Cang Yu, formed a perfect tactical combination.
Swordsmanship...
Recalling my father...
For a moment, Kakashi's thoughts seemed to drift back to his childhood...
Kakashi quickly regained his senses, and his grip on the sword tightened even more.
At this moment, Kakashi activated his Sharingan, unleashing his power!
He slowly drew the short sword from his waist, its blade reflecting the icy mist with a chilling light.
His body sank slightly, and in the next instant he leaped up, the short sword tracing a path through the air.
The blade sliced through, causing water vapor to surge and swirl, forming a faint mist that enveloped the blade.
Leveraging the Sharingan's ability to perceive precisely, every strike is aimed directly at vital points, making the swordplay cunning and ruthless.
The blade and water escape techniques were cleverly intertwined, making the attack appear and disappear, and impossible to predict.
Kakashi moved swiftly and agilely, his swordsmanship both nimble and domineering.
As if transformed into a shadowy figure within the mist, the short sword appeared and disappeared, elusive and unpredictable, its killing intent hidden in the shadows.
Meanwhile, in the shadows...
Obito, who had just arrived in Konoha and was preparing to kidnap Sasuke, was looking for Kakashi when he unexpectedly witnessed this scene.
Kakashi, full of vigor and spirit, wielding a sword...
For a moment, Obito fell silent...
