Chapter 180 - Chapter 165: Orochimaru, I Know Your Secret!

Uchiha Obito is dead.

Though his body is dead, his spirit will live on in the Ninja World, continuing to cause chaos and tarnish his reputation.

Uchiha Obito will continue to operate like a ghost in the Ninja World, appearing occasionally to take the blame for mishaps.

Isn't this karma?

Uchiha Obito once did a myriad of evil deeds under the name of Uchiha Madara.

Now it's someone else's turn to commit misdeeds under his name.

Uehara Naraku sealed Uchiha Obito's body, planning to hand it over to Yakushi Kabuto later, letting him decide whether to transplant his Mangekyo.

Now it's time to collect the rewards!

Uchiha Obito appeared as a villain far more frequently than the final two major villains, Uchiha Madara and Otsutsuki Kaguya!

The remaining four Uchiha in the Ninja World aren't lacking in popularity; the mission rewards should be abundant.

Side Mission: Defeat Uchiha Obito (1/1), mission completed, reward skill Reincarnation Desperate Realm.

Reincarnation Desperate Realm: Create an absolutely enclosed space where both the target and the user are banished for a one-on-one battle, can be deactivated voluntarily, skill consumes 100 chakra points, skill cooldown 56 seconds.

This skill is somewhat like Princess Kaguya's Amenominaka, seemingly tailored for those with space-time jutsu. Finally, he has a way to limit ninjas using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

Unfortunately, those skilled in Flying Thunder God are already dead.

This makes it feel quite ironic.

If Orochimaru ever gathers the Second and Fourth Hokage, two Flying Thunder God users to attack Uehara, he will certainly give Orochimaru a big surprise!

However, compared to this reward, the next one makes Uehara Naraku's eyelid twitch, just how hated is Uchiha Obito…

Side Mission: Kill Uchiha Obito (1/1), mission completed, reward a hidden inheritance mission.

Hidden Inheritance Mission: Justice shall prevail. State the correct name.

Uehara Naraku's heart began to shake a bit, his hand even slightly trembling while reading these words, he already guessed what his reward would be.

"Voidwalker Kassadin!"

Uehara Naraku almost without hesitation said this name, for he already knew how lavish a reward he would receive!

Mission complete.

Heroic Inheritance activated, Voidwalker Kassadin.

Void Orb: Fires a void orb at a target, prohibiting them from using any jutsu for 3 seconds, skill consumes 70 chakra points, skill cooldown 4 seconds.

Void Blade: Obtain a void blade condensed from chakra, each time a target is attacked with the void blade, it absorbs 20% of the enemy's current chakra energy, skill cooldown none, skill consumes none.

Void Walking: Instantly teleport through space to a target area, the farther the distance, the higher the chakra consumption, minimum consumption 50 chakra points, skill cooldown 2 seconds.

From now on, other skills should be discarded, like Secret Techniques! Useless skills of the Dusk Blade line all belong in the trash!

What a divine inheritance this is!

Damn, from today onwards, no one should even think of speaking to him loudly!

Now that Uchiha Obito is resolved, naturally the other person present needs to be dealt with, as long as Orochimaru is willing to hand over a few of his ninjutsu, and ask Yakushi Kabuto if he is able to acquire Orochimaru's power…

If possible, Uehara Naraku will deal with Orochimaru on the spot!

Henceforth, let Yakushi Kabuto alone bear the mantle of Orochi Style's sect leader and Uchiha Obito's responsibilities.

Before that, another problem needs addressing.

The one hundred thousand White Zetsu sleeping underground.

Uehara Naraku landed beside Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, these two had already managed to capture a few White Zetsu, yet still felt they hadn't gotten enough, clearly exhibiting a bit of unusual greed.

This is quite normal.

A scientist who finds a treasure significant enough to influence the progress of world science would naturally want to gather it all, to conduct all sorts of experiments.

"Alright, no more picking."

Uehara Naraku landed between them, chuckling lightly as he spoke: "There will be chances in the future, just take a few with you, once you activate them with chakra after returning, they will awaken from their slumber."

"Really?"

Orochimaru's palm couldn't hold back, as a pale blue chakra began to swirl in his hand, appearing somewhat mesmerizing.

After speaking, Uehara Naraku noticed Orochimaru's tempted actions and continued to add: "Don't awaken them now, or I'll have to go through the trouble of dealing with them. If I get too carried away, I might deal with you too…"

"…Alright."

Orochimaru stopped his hand, and turning towards Uehara Naraku with a smile, said: "Naraku-kun, it seems that we've both achieved our goals, you killed Uchiha Obito, I obtained the White Zetsu, it was a pleasant cooperation, goodbye."

"What are you thinking?"

Uehara Naraku slapped Orochimaru on the shoulder, suddenly squeezing tightly, lightly laughing: "Did you forget what you owe me?"

Uehara Naraku's hand continued to incrementally increase pressure, his smile gradually becoming a bit intimidating: "No one in this Ninja World can owe me and not pay up! If you wish to continue delaying, I'll kill you now, even the Six Paths Sage couldn't save you!"

"Lord Naraku, please release Lord Orochimaru immediately, we can discuss any issues!"

Yakushi Kabuto nervously stretched out his hand, the Chakra Scalpel's faint green was active in his hand, as he seemed eager to rescue Orochimaru.

Uehara Naraku glanced at Yakushi Kabuto beside him, chuckling lightly, "Kabuto, your limited power can't save your lord Orochimaru. If you want to save him, hand over all his jutsu; otherwise, both of you will die here today!"

"Kabuto, stop!"

Orochimaru waved to stop Yakushi Kabuto's actions.

Orochimaru knew very well that with Yakushi Kabuto's strength trying to oppose Uehara Naraku was akin to a fool's dream.

However, Orochimaru still felt a subtle sense of gratitude.

At least Yakushi Kabuto was still willing to risk his life for him.

Orochimaru's smile did not change, even as Uehara Naraku's grip left a trace of blood on his shoulder. He looked at Uehara and said softly, "But I was in a hurry when I came out, and I didn't bring the jutsu you wanted..."

"Then start writing now!"

Uehara Naraku released his palm, speaking slowly, "Haven't I prepared the materials for you? Use your blood to start writing!"

"..."

No matter how patient Orochimaru was, his gaze subtly turned displeased, being forced to write a Ninjutsu Scroll with his blood...

Can Uehara Naraku, this little bastard, just act like a human?

He is one of the Konoha Sannin, how could he be bullied like this!

The most crucial thing is that Immortal Reanimation and Reanimation are the very foundations Orochimaru relied upon in the Ninja World, how could they be taken so easily!

Orochimaru did not expect that writing a fake scroll could fool Uehara Naraku.

Orochimaru's fingers discreetly clenched within his wide sleeve, planning to summon the First Hokage and Second Hokage to fight Uehara Naraku to the death.

"Want to fight to the death?"

Uehara Naraku twisted his fingers, rubbed his wrist, and then placed his hand on Orochimaru's head, his voice sinister, "Be good, don't mess around, or I'll pull your head off and then kill Mitarashi Anko..."

Orochimaru: "..."

What kind of logic is this?

The front part of Uehara Naraku's words is easy to understand, but what does the latter part mean, how did it become about killing Anko in a matter between them?

Unless Uehara Naraku, this bastard, knows that secret...

"Curse Seal of Heaven."

Uehara Naraku edged closer to Orochimaru, smiling lightly, "When I last met her, I found an interesting secret; her Curse Seal of Heaven contains a piece of your soul fragment, am I right?"

"..."

Orochimaru slowly closed his eyes.

Though he always acted indifferent towards Mitarashi Anko as his disciple, it was just a facade; no one wanted Anko to live long more than Orochimaru did.

Because Anko carried his Curse Seal of Heaven.

The power of the Curse Seal of Heaven could not be entirely sealed by Fuinjutsu.

Besides enabling his Immortal Reanimation, the Curse Seal of Heaven could also slowly accumulate enough chakra after his death for his resurrection.

This duration might be very long, but it was the safest method.

Everyone thought the Curse Seal of Heaven symbolized Orochimaru's evil power, but in reality, it was a resurrection method he was proud of.

When Mitarashi Anko saw Orochimaru, she was eager to tear her former teacher into pieces, yet she did not know she carried the key to Orochimaru's revival within her.

This was Orochimaru's biggest secret.

The next moment, Orochimaru slowly opened his eyes, looking at Uehara Naraku beside him, his gaze gradually becoming cold, "Uehara Naraku, you know too much..."

A person who knows too many secrets doesn't live long!

Uehara Naraku spread his palm, curved his lips into a smile, chuckling, "Yes, but what can you do to me?"

"..."

Orochimaru clenched his teeth, thinking about the possibility of killing Uehara Naraku, this bastard. Although the strength of the First and Second Hokage was formidable, it hadn't reached the peak, making the possibility of directly killing Uehara Naraku here almost negligible.

Even if the Second Hokage possessed the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, capable of pursuing Uehara, his previous performance was somewhat disappointing...

As for the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu's suicide-like method, Uehara Naraku had already proven it ineffective against him.

Moreover, this little bastard Uehara is more skilled at using the Tandem Paper Bomb than any of them.

Besides, Uehara Naraku has a summoning beast capable of devouring souls, especially restraining Reanimation. Slight carelessness could lead the First and Second Hokage to be devoured...

Orochimaru's expression gradually relaxed.

Even if Uehara had a slight chance of escape during the battle or even the opportunity to counter-kill, he couldn't choose to turn hostile.

Of course, if Orochimaru were to make an attempt, he might discover that the current Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama's chance of defeating Uehara Naraku was also nearly negligible.

After a moment, Orochimaru forced a slight smile on his face, "Naraku-kun, what ninjutsu did you say you wanted before?"

"Tut, Orochimaru, you know what my favorite thing about you is?"

Uehara Naraku knew this guy Orochimaru had agreed to compromise, he slowly extended his palm and patted Orochimaru's cheek, like a bully, smiling and praising, "It's your tactfulness, more than anyone else's."
