Chapter 105: Reunion with Orochimaru

"Lord Hayata!"

Upon seeing Hayata Xuan Yue appear beside them, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Maguma immediately bowed respectfully.

This gesture was not only because the Hayata clan had rescued and taken them in, but also out of admiration for the strong.

The Uchiha clan has always been a tribe that revered strength above all else.

In front of them was a man renowned alongside Senju Hashirama and their ancestor, Uchiha Madara. A man who had achieved the unprecedented feat of living a second life.

Without needing to say a word, they had already pledged their allegiance.

Hayata Xuan Yue nodded and, without hesitation from the Uchiha duo, stepped forward to stand before Sasuke.

"Orochimaru's cursed seal?"

Hayata Xuan Yue, who had studied senjutsu extensively in Konoha, instantly recognized the natural energy within Sasuke's cursed seal.

The cursed seal was not the Sage Mode, as even its developer, Orochimaru himself, had not mastered senjutsu.

This was a secret technique he had developed based on Orochimaru's natural ability to merge natural energy with his body.

However, the cursed seal was crude in its utilization of natural energy, even going so far as to transform the user into something neither human nor ghost.

Hayata Xuan Yue naturally looked down on it.

With Sasuke's potential, there was no need for him to use this seal, which would burden his body and lead him down an extreme path.

Moreover, it also hid a dangerous secret.

"Endure and stay still."

Hayata Xuan Yue instructed the nervous Sasuke, who was sweating profusely.

Without the aid of Orochimaru's cursed seal elixir, Sasuke could only grit his teeth and endure the backlash of the cursed seal, determined not to let Hayata Xuan Yue down. He remained absolutely still, exerting all his willpower.

Hayata Xuan Yue nodded, recalling the Fuja Hoin, a sealing technique he had acquired from the Foundation, and performed a reverse hand seal:

"Release of the Evil Sealing Method!"

Hayata Xuan Yue's right hand slapped the cursed seal on Sasuke's neck.

A flash of red light appeared, and as Hayata Xuan Yue pulled his hand back, he forcibly yanked out a phantom white snake.

Hayata Xuan Yue stomped his foot, and a coffin rose from the ground.

Inside lay a murderer, not yet dead but in a state of slumber, to be used as a sacrifice.

Hayata Xuan Yue pulled once more, and the fragment of Orochimaru's soul within Sasuke's cursed seal was completely extracted and implanted into the murderer's body.

Visible to the naked eye, the murderer's appearance rapidly changed.

What appeared before them finally was Orochimaru, with pallid skin and golden serpentine eyes.

"It's been a while, Orochimaru."

Hayata Xuan Yue greeted the man before him, who had voluntarily split his soul into countless fragments to ensure his survival, with a faint smile.

"Hayata Xuan Yue?"

Orochimaru, or more accurately, a soul fragment of him, narrowed his eyes slightly.

'Have I been resurrected from Sasuke's cursed seal? What's going on? Did I die previously? No, I can sense that the main body is still alive.'

Orochimaru quickly scanned his surroundings and suddenly noticed Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Maguma.

The scent of their bloodline was unmistakably Uchiha.

"Interesting! This is most intriguing!"

Orochimaru extended his long tongue and licked his lips, a gleam of excitement in his eyes as he turned to Hayata Xuan Yue and said:

"It appears, Senior Hayata, that you have brought me to a fascinating place."

Hayata Xuan Yue understood the underlying meaning in Orochimaru's words.

This Orochimaru was not the true body, and with Yuyi Xuan Yue's overwhelming power, he could only watch helplessly as the coffin closed once more, sealed shut by a technique that left him immobile.

It was over.

Yuyi Xuan Yue turned to Sasuke, who looked pale and weak, and said, "The curse mark issue has been completely resolved. Remember, true strength comes from within."

Sasuke, still reeling from the shock of Orochimaru's emergence from his curse mark, nodded vigorously. He had never expected such a development.

"Was that Orochimaru?" Uzumaki Kiba, who had been glanced at by Orochimaru, twisted his neck and said, "He doesn't seem that impressive."

"That was just one of Orochimaru's soul fragments," Yuyi Xuan Yue explained casually.

He didn't bother to destroy this soul fragment of Orochimaru, as it wouldn't affect the true body in any way. It would only deprive Orochimaru of one less resurrection method.

Compared to that, the true Orochimaru was far more valuable.

After all, this soul fragment, regardless of what it knew, couldn't possibly transmit any information to the true body from such a great distance.

Additionally, the power it could exhibit was limited.

Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't mind having more conversations with this fragment in the future.

Afterward, Yuyi Xuan Yue bid farewell to the Uchiha trio and attended to some matters with the Hayata Clan. He also checked in on Shennong and Qingming, who were doing fairly well—one teaching medicine and the other blacksmithing. Then, he focused his attention on perfecting the soul-completing technique.

Half a year later, in a desolate and uninhabited land far from the Land of Keys, Yuyi Xuan Yue stood quietly.

Physically, he hadn't changed much since half a year ago. After all, in terms of bodily functions and actual age, he was only twenty-five years old, right in the prime of his ninja life.

Of course, while there were no overall changes, there were some new developments.

For instance, between Yuyi Xuan Yue's eyebrows, there was now a blue mark—a triple-arched crescent moon, identical to the Hayata Clan's emblem.

This was his own S-rank medical sealing technique, the Yin Seal, which he had developed during the past six months, inspired by Tsunade.

In the original story, only women could perform the Yin Seal, and due to the word "Yin," many assumed that only females could learn it.

However, that wasn't the case.

The Yin Seal truly tested one's medical skills, sealing techniques, and, most importantly, chakra control.

Thanks to the extensive knowledge of medical ninjutsu he had acquired from Konoha half a year ago, along with the added benefit of Sakura's chakra control talent, Yuyi Xuan Yue was able to develop and perfect this technique swiftly once he had the idea.

Now, with the Yin Seal, he could not only store large amounts of chakra for emergencies but also maintain his body's functions at their peak condition.

Rarely, his overall strength, especially his endurance, had improved significantly after living a second life.

Of course, the achievements of the past six months didn't end there.

What Yuyi Xuan Yue had spent the most effort on was improving the Shiki Fujin technique.

Now, he was almost ready.

It was time to take the final step and achieve true peak condition.
