Just as everyone was concerned about the outcome of the battle, Orochimaru's capable subordinate, Kabuto Yakushi, noticed something was wrong and peered into Orochimaru's room, only to see Sasuke Uchiha standing there.
"Why is Sasuke here...? That's a giant snake molt. Does that mean the ritual is over? What happened?" Kabuto Yakushi suddenly realized something and his expression hardened.
At that moment, Sasuke Uchiha noticed Kabuto Yakushi and asked, "Is that Kabuto?"
Kabuto Yakushi came out without hiding anything, but he was still very confused. Was this Lord Orochimaru?
Sasuke Uchiha walked out calmly without saying a word.
"Who exactly are you now?" Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha immediately activated his Sharingan and asked, "Who did you say it is?"
He pulled Yakushi Kabuto directly into the illusion space, allowing him to see the memories of the reincarnation ritual.
In his memory, just as Sasuke Uchiha was about to be devoured, the power of the cursed seal on Sasuke's body surged, and he instantly broke free from the attacking flesh and blood, even turning the place into his own territory and turning against Orochimaru.
Orochimaru could only repeat himself over and over again: Impossible, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible.
"Orochimaru, all your ninjutsu... you already know what's going on in front of these eyes, don't you?" Sasuke Uchiha said coldly.
"This is terrifying! Sasuke's consciousness has actually invaded another dimension," Kabuto Yakushi said in shock.
"How could this be? How could this be? I am the immortal Orochimaru, in this place, in this place, I am the one who will analyze this world, the one who will obtain everything."
Orochimaru, however, was simply terrified as he was swallowed.
The scene shifts back to reality, where Kabuto Yakushi exclaims in shock, "Lord Orochimaru is dead... no, it's like..."
"I took everything from him," Sasuke Uchiha replied, then turned and left.
The video ends here, and everyone finally understands what Kitahara Kaede meant when he said Orochimaru coveted Uchiha Sasuke's body, but was instead devoured by him.
So that's how the whole process went.
"Orochimaru, is he dead? And he died such a gruesome death!" Jiraiya's feelings were complicated, but then he thought, what would it be like if he died one day?
I hope it doesn't look that bad!
"Has Sasuke already reached this level three years later? He even outmaneuvered Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin," Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but think. "Am I not yet pushing his full potential out of him?"
Kakashi Hatake could easily imagine that Sasuke Uchiha was only showing a small part of his true potential at that point.
In other words, the Uchiha clan was wiped out long ago. If the Uchiha clan were still around, Sasuke Uchiha would have received a far greater education than he does now, and he might even be comparable to a Jonin by now.
This is not surprising. In the ninja world, it is not uncommon for twelve or thirteen-year-olds to possess the combat power of a Jonin. He himself is a typical example.
There are also Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, his teacher Minato Namikaze, the legendary Sannin, and so on; they are all geniuses of this type.
"So that's how they turned the tables?" Uchiha Sasuke thought for a moment, it seemed that things were much easier than he had imagined.
"No, that's not entirely true." Itachi Uchiha wrote it down on the paper.
In that strange space in the video, besides Sasuke Uchiha, I saw two other people. Those two people are likely the ones who were possessed by Orochimaru before.
If Orochimaru's original plan had been followed, Sasuke's mind and will would have been trapped here forever. Now Sasuke has killed Orochimaru, but he probably won't have completely killed Orochimaru.
In other words, the probability that Orochimaru was suppressed in that alternate dimension is far greater than the probability that he died.
Then we need to find a way to eliminate this hidden danger for Sasuke, otherwise Orochimaru may make a comeback at any time.
Furthermore, considering the so-called legendary, resilient king mentioned in Kitahara Kaede's diary, it shows that killing Orochimaru is not so easy.
Sasuke was too careless. He thought he had killed Orochimaru, but he was outmaneuvered by Orochimaru.
They're still young after all.
At the same time, he had a vague suspicion that Orochimaru's soul might have encountered a problem.
"There must be a limit to reincarnation, so in the later stages of each reincarnation, he even had to lie in bed every day and take medicine to barely survive. That's why the genjutsu was so successful against him back then. Each reincarnation must consume his soul and cause great damage to his body." Uchiha Itachi thought about the situation during the battle.
Although Orochimaru's genjutsu was enhanced by the Mangekyou Sharingan, his resistance to genjutsu was far too low for someone of the Sannin's caliber.
All of this suggests that there must be something he doesn't know.
The only comforting thing today was seeing how Sasuke ultimately turned the tables on Orochimaru.
Thinking of this, Itachi Uchiha lit a small flame, slightly ashing the paper, his face appearing dark and inscrutable in the flickering flame.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Waves, inside a treehouse, Gato, dressed in a suit, was roaring at the ninjas in front of him.
"Failed? I heard you were very skilled ninjas, which is why I paid a high price to hire you."
Hearing this, Zabuza, who was opposite him, said impatiently, "Shut up, it's so noisy."
As he spoke, he raised the guillotine in his hand and slashed it towards Kado in front of him, almost hitting him.
"This time, I, the great one, will take action and kill him with this decapitation sword."
"Are you sure everything's alright? It seems the enemy has also hired some pretty skilled ninjas," Kado said nervously. "And with the Oni Brothers' failed assassination attempt, if they tighten their guard, it won't be an easy task."
"Who do you think I am? I am Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Hidden Mist." Zabuza said impatiently.
"Momochi Zabuza? He is indeed famous, but I advise you not to underestimate the other side. The Jonin leading the team is none other than Konoha's number one technician, Hatake Kakashi, whose strength is definitely no less than yours."
Suddenly, at that moment, the door was pushed open, and a ninja with green hair, wearing a headband from Amegakure and carrying an umbrella walked in.
"Who are you?" Zabuza Momochi glanced at the other man, then looked at Gato and asked, "What, you've hired another ninja?"
"I was just worried you wouldn't be able to handle it," Kado said with an embarrassed smile.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Midori Aoi, a Jonin from Amegakure," the newcomer said, introducing himself.
"Oh, so it's you. I've heard of you. You were originally a Konoha ninja, but you stole the Second Hokage's sword and defected, right? You've been causing quite a stir lately." Zabuza Momochi sneered. "You think you're worthy to compare yourself to me?"
Hearing this, Green Blue Aoi was very angry. "You are a rogue ninja, and so am I."
You are a Jonin from Kirigakure, and I am a Jonin from Amegakure. We are equals, so why do you look down on me?
Zabuza Momochi sneered. How could the Jonin of the Five Great Villages be the same as the Jonin of other villages?
Many of the Jonin from other villages don't even have the strength of the Special Jonin from the Five Great Villages, so how can they be considered equals to them?
What was your status when you were in Konoha? What was my status when I was in Kirigakure?
"If you think you're useful, then come along. But don't hold me back, or I'll kill you too," Zabuza Momochi said dismissively, before getting up and leaving.
Green Aoi's face was extremely ugly, but as a ninja, since he had taken his employer's money, he naturally couldn't just run away like that, otherwise his reputation would be completely ruined.
The mechanism in this ninja world is so unique that even the strongest ninjas still have to serve their employers. Look at the Akatsuki organization, which is ridiculously strong, they still have to find ways to take on missions to make money, instead of trying to rebel and overthrow everything.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gato, I'm not like Zabuza. This time, I'll definitely help you kill that Tazuna."
Green Sunflower looked at Kado and said.
He also harbored a ambition: to use the Thunder God's Sword to defeat Kakashi Hatake and become famous throughout the ninja world.
In the ninja world, the fastest way to become famous is to step on established ninjas. Kakashi Hatake is clearly one such established ninja.
Several days later, Kakashi's team and Kitahara Kaede's team arrived in the Land of Waves.
This is a country surrounded by the sea, almost an island nation, with water covering all sides, and the only way to get in and out is by boat.
"The battle should be starting soon, everyone get ready." As they walked through a forest, Kitahara Kaede was the first to speak up.
They simply followed Kakashi's team at a distance, occasionally having Hyuga Keiko activate her Byakugan to confirm their direction before following them.
The three were also very excited. Although they had been on missions since graduation for quite some time, they had hardly left the Land of Fire. This was their first time in the Land of Waves, and the scenery along the way was quite rare for them.
"Um!"
Hyuga Keiko nodded, then formed hand seals and shouted.
"Byakugan, activate!"
Hyuga Keiko instantly activated her Byakugan to survey her surroundings, and her expression immediately turned serious.
"Feng was right. Besides Kakashi's team, there is another powerful chakra source lurking nearby, whose strength is probably no less than that of Kakashi-senpai."
