It was discovered.
Orochimaru's first thought was this.
This seems a bit unreasonable since these Kinjutsu have always been sealed in Konoha's forbidden jutsu room, never seen by anyone. How did Uehara Naraku, just a ninja from the Land of Rain, manage to discover it?
Just as Orochimaru began to suspect Yakushi Kabuto, Kabuto suddenly spoke: "Lord Naraku, Lord Orochimaru has already given the Kinjutsu to you. If you doubt us, then this transaction shouldn't happen..."
"I don't doubt it at all!"
Uehara Naraku looked at Orochimaru and chuckled: "I just wanted Mr. Orochimaru to help me experiment a bit, is there a problem with that?"
"Forget it."
In Orochimaru's pupils, a trace of ferocity appeared as he slowly lifted his head to look at Uehara Naraku: "But Reanimation has a problem. Some powerful ninja, after being reincarnated, will display even greater strength, and I can't control them with my chakra."
Uehara Naraku's expression froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "No matter, I can kill Kabuto now and have you perform the Reanimation Jutsu on him, even now you're still so stubborn, let me see you demonstrate!"
"I can do it myself!"
Yakushi Kabuto glanced at Uehara Naraku, pushed his glasses, and gripped his Chakra Scalpel, ready to cut his own throat at any moment.
"Stop, Kabuto!"
Orochimaru's face was incredibly grim as he stopped Yakushi Kabuto.
Because the scroll was fake, if he really performed the Dead Demon Consuming Seal hand seals to use Reanimation, his secret would be exposed in the end.
If Orochimaru decided to turn against Naraku at the last moment, it would all be for nothing, and he would lose a very talented medical ninja in Kabuto.
"Act, keep acting!"
Uehara Naraku chuckled as he looked at Orochimaru and continued: "Didn't you tell me this was the Reanimation Jutsu?"
As he spoke, the smile on Uehara Naraku's face instantly disappeared. He punched the ground beside Orochimaru, shattering it beneath him!
Uehara Naraku's expression was like unmelting ice, his voice cold: "Orochimaru, the most important thing for a person is credibility! Without the spirit of a contract, how can you gain a foothold in the Ninja World! Even deceiving a young guy like me, are you even human!"
"..."
Orochimaru looked at Uehara Naraku speechlessly.
How does this little brat have the face to say such things?
Clearly, it's Uehara Naraku forcing this old man to his death!
Orochimaru coldly looked at Uehara Naraku and said: "If you hadn't forcibly demanded my research results, I wouldn't have chosen to deceive you."
Uehara Naraku's expression stiffened for a second, then he said in a deep voice: "I can kill you anytime and stop your resurrection!"
This sentence choked Orochimaru.
After a moment, Orochimaru shook his head and said with some sadness: "Naraku-kun, a cherished ninjutsu means more to a ninja than his life..."
Orochimaru's voice was even trembling towards the end.
At this moment, Orochimaru even had a hint of the helplessness of an aging man.
Uehara Naraku even wondered if he had been pushing Orochimaru too hard all this time, and if this might be a bit excessive...
After a long while.
Uehara Naraku extended his hand, pulled Orochimaru up, and dusted off the dirt on him: "Alright, it's just three Kinjutsu and two Summoning Scrolls, whether you want to give them to me or not, I can still kill you anytime."
Orochimaru: "..."
Can this guy ever speak like a human being?
But it seems there's still a chance of things turning around...
Just as Orochimaru felt a bit lucky that his momentary candid statement softened Uehara Naraku's heart, Uehara Naraku continued: "If you give me the scrolls now and behave in the future, you can live and keep your research; if you don't give me the Ninjutsu Scrolls now, you'll die, and it will be a miserable death."
"..."
Orochimaru didn't know what to say. Is Uehara Naraku truly heartless?
Now it seems there's no room for negotiation.
If they fought, there would still be risks.
After all, Uehara Naraku has plenty of cards up his sleeves, and he can even summon Pain to join the fight, along with a Summoning Beast capable of crushing Manda with one punch.
Orochimaru sighed softly, looked at Yakushi Kabuto, and said in a low voice: "Kabuto, help me prepare three new scrolls!"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
Yakushi Kabuto also looked helpless.
Orochimaru's fingertips pressed hard, cutting his finger once again, vowing that someday he will repay today's humiliation!
An hour later.
Three scrolls fell into Uehara Naraku's hands.
Side quest: Obtain Yamata Jutsu (1/1), task completed, reward 100 Gold Coins.
Side quest: Acquire Immortal Reanimation Jutsu (1/1), quest completed, reward 100 gold coins.
Side quest: Acquire Reanimation Jutsu (1/1), quest completed, reward skill: Son of Death.
Son of Death: Places a death mark on the target's head, slowly harvesting the target's life energy until the target dies; after the target's death, enslaves the target's soul and body to continue fighting, duration 45 seconds, skill consumes 100 points of chakra, skill cooldown 60 seconds.
Orochimaru's own ninjutsu seems to be really unpopular, the system only gave the minimum reward.
As for Son of Death, the skill looks a bit lame.
But if it enslaves the target's body and soul, it might make the target fight with full strength!
However, Uehara Naraku already possesses the Reanimation Jutsu, so this skill seems really redundant!
Uehara Naraku casually pulled out a White Zetsu, inputting chakra into its body, awakening the White Zetsu.
Immediately after, Uehara Naraku pulled out Uchiha Obito's corpse, removing the Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan from Obito's body.
Clearly, what he intended to do was self-evident.
Orochimaru's eyes showed a trace of envy, he likes collecting any powerful ninjas, though Uchiha Obito did not display much, no one would deny an Uchiha with a Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Oh, by the way."
Uehara Naraku turned to Orochimaru and said, "Mr. Orochimaru, can you provide me with a coffin? By the way, give me a sample of Hashirama cells?"
"..."
Orochimaru's expression turned even worse, what did Uehara Naraku think of him, always taking things from him arbitrarily?
Half a minute later.
After Orochimaru injected Hashirama cells into Uehara's revived White Zetsu, it immediately succeeded in awakening Wood Release, a scene that filled Orochimaru with joy!
It's just a pity that this White Zetsu that awakened Wood Release won't live long.
Orochimaru knew that Uehara Naraku wanted to use this White Zetsu as a sacrifice for Reanimation, and he lamented, "Sacrificing a Wood Release ninja for Reanimation, isn't that a waste?"
"Only this way can the Reanimated achieve their maximum potential, right!"
Uehara Naraku shook his head, slowly clasping his hands, and continued lightly, "If the Reanimated's power is too strong, it's easy to lose control, I don't really mind, but Mr. Orochimaru, your power…"
Orochimaru: "..."
This matter indeed needed attention.
But Uehara Naraku was clearly verbally attacking him again, whatever he wanted, he'd give, so why humiliate him like this?
"Ninpo: Reanimation Jutsu!"
Uehara Naraku's palm suddenly slammed on the ground; a string of incantations swiftly formed, appearing on the ground, and Uchiha Obito's body rapidly turned to ashes, enveloping the White Zetsu's body!
In the Netherworld Pure Land.
Uchiha Obito's soul was still apologizing to the petite girl Nohara Rin when his soul suddenly floated back to the mortal world!
Moments later, Uchiha Obito was resurrected using this White Zetsu!
However, there were still several cracks on his face, similar to when Orochimaru previously resurrected the First Hokage and the Second Hokage... but not quite the same.
Yakushi Kabuto softly questioned, "Is using a White Zetsu as a sacrifice for Reanimation still not adequate?"
"No, it was adequate."
A fervor flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
Since the previous sacrifices were inadequate, the First Hokage and the Second Hokage couldn't fully use their power; their power was restricted by Reanimation.
However, a White Zetsu allowed them to use sufficient power, if too much power is used, some cracks appear on the face.
These cracks indicate that their power is so immense, even the best materials can't restore them to their prime!
Clearly, Uchiha Obito is not weak.
After Reanimation resurrection, Uchiha Obito's face showed obvious rage, perhaps because he had never possessed a pair of dual Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan, he still only had that one Kamui Sharingan and one ordinary Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Uehara Naraku felt a bit regretful.
Uchiha Obito coldly surveyed those present, suddenly clenching his fist tightly, "Bastard, how dare you use Reanimation to disrupt my reunion with Rin! You promised me!"
Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow, surprised at Uchiha Obito's impressive will, almost breaking free from the binds of Reanimation!
As expected of the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki in history!
Relying solely on a crush on a little girl, his will became so formidable!
Uehara Naraku abruptly lifted his fingers, concentrating on controlling Uchiha Obito with his immense chakra, guiding him into the coffin, completely ignoring Obito's furious expression.
Reanimated beings wanting to break free from control must either have strong enough power to break the binds or a strong will to break free from control.
However, all these prerequisites involve the technique user not competing for control of the Reanimated's body.
If it were Orochimaru now, perhaps Uchiha Obito could likely break free with his will and strength, but unfortunately, Uehara Naraku was controlling him.
Uehara Naraku closed the coffin lid, letting Uchiha Obito fall into slumber, patting the coffin with a sigh, "Why should we talk about love, wouldn't it be better to focus and become the mastermind behind the scenes of the Ninja World?"
