Chapter 295: Trying to Steal Business?
Chapter 295: Trying to Steal Business?
The reason Yuyi Xuan Yue had taken out Orochimaru earlier was to prevent him from constantly using the Impure World Reincarnation technique to bring back the dead and turn the Ninja World War into a grand wish-fulfillment event, just as the Great Snake had done during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Quantity can lead to qualitative change.
While Yuyi Xuan Yue's power was sufficient to deal with the Ninja Alliance, the return of historical powerhouses one after another introduced a significant element of uncertainty.
Although Yuyi Xuan Yue himself was not intimidated by these powerful figures from the past, if their numbers grew too large, his followers would suffer considerable casualties.
More importantly, the Divine Tree needed time to accumulate energy before it could release the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
During this period, if the reincarnated shinobi relentlessly attacked the Divine Tree, they had a decent chance of succeeding.
After all, the Divine Tree's defense was not impregnable, and its massive size made it an easy target.
Among the reincarnated shinobi were many with unique abilities, and Yuyi Xuan Yue couldn't protect every part of the Divine Tree.
"Impure World Reincarnation," Yuyi Xuan Yue mused.
Suddenly, a deafening roar shook the heavens, drawing his attention.
A towering pillar of deep crimson light pierced the sky, shredding the clouds, and causing a large area of the sky to visibly distort.
"Chaos is approaching, and all manner of monsters are emerging," he remarked nonchalantly.
Despite the clear blue sky, the area where the crimson pillar stood was filled with thunder and lightning, bathed in an ominous deep crimson hue.
It seemed nothing short of an evil deed in the making.
More likely, it was the ignorant and fearless act of someone with ambitions of conquering the Ninja World.
There were far too many such individuals in the Ninja World.
Kill one batch, and a new one would soon sprout up to take their place.
Yuyi Xuan Yue had no intention of getting involved.
However, just as he turned away, the deep crimson pillar behind him intensified, and crimson lightning bolts spread out in all directions like snakes.
At the same time, the sky above the pillar rapidly transformed into a massive funnel visible to the naked eye, greedily absorbing all energy in its path.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's eyebrows twitched as he sensed a large amount of chakra from the surrounding area rushing towards the crimson pillar.
It wasn't just happening here.
One kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers... far beyond his expectations, areas were affected by the crimson pillar, and a vast amount of chakra was being drawn towards it.
"That's quite a ruckus," Yuyi Xuan Yue remarked as he extended his palm, feeling the uncontrolled flow of chakra in the air. A cold glint appeared in his eyes.
Someone was trying to steal business from him!
Yuyi Xuan Yue, who considered all the chakra on this planet as his own, would not tolerate others encroaching on his territory.
Additionally, regarding that deep crimson pillar, he had a vague recollection after pondering for a moment.
If it was indeed what he thought it was...
Yuyi Xuan Yue's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly made his way towards the direction of the crimson pillar.
Konoha.
With each Impure World Reincarnation, the village became livelier.
The five great ninja villages had come prepared, sending representatives, including descendants of the reincarnated shinobi, to convince them to join the Ninja Alliance and fight for their descendants and villages.
Faced with moral dilemmas, the reincarnated shinobi had all agreed, but it was challenging for the younger generation of the Five Great Ninja Villages to make them obey orders unquestioningly, as they had done with their subordinates.
Not every deceased shinobi was as amenable as the four Hokages.
As a result, those brought back by the Impure World Reincarnation were free to act as they wished.
Even the most esteemed figure among the living and the dead, Senju Hashirama, could not stop them and could only instruct them to wear cloaks to conceal their cracked appearances and identities, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble.
During this time, the villagers of Konoha witnessed mysterious figures, their faces hidden beneath hoods, wandering curiously around the village, taking in the new and unfamiliar sights.
Unconcerned with these individuals, Black Zetsu swiftly and stealthily made his way into Konoha and headed directly for the storage room containing the DNA samples of the five great ninja villages that had not yet been used for the Impure World Reincarnation technique. With no one noticing his intrusion, he quietly swapped one of the samples, placing Uchiha Madara's DNA into the mix.
Soon after, a group of ninjas entered the room and carefully carried the DNA samples out, preparing to deliver them to Orochimaru for the Impure World Reincarnation.
Hidden in the shadows, Black Zetsu watched with a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
"Lord Orochimaru, a new batch of sacrifices and DNA samples have arrived."
In a spacious secret room, Kabuto Yakushi, his face scarred and cracked, reported to Orochimaru with utmost respect.
Orochimaru patted Kabuto's shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "It seems that only when you're by my side do things go smoothly. It's a shame that Hagoromo Otsutsuki killed you."
Adjusting his glasses, Kabuto replied calmly, "I am no match for your greatness, Lord Orochimaru. But being in this state of Impure World Reincarnation has its advantages—no fatigue, no need for rest, impervious to pain, and rapid chakra recovery. This way, I can better assist you."
"In that case, I shall ensure to reincarnate you more often in the future," Orochimaru said with a smile.
"It would be my honor," Kabuto responded.
As they conversed, they approached the newly delivered DNA samples and sacrifices.
Orochimaru glanced at the names and identities marked on the DNA samples and smiled wryly. "It seems the five great ninja villages have sent their oldest and most venerable members."
Indeed, this batch of reincarnated individuals was of exceptionally high caliber. There were eight DNA samples in total—those of the First Kazekage, First Mizukage, First Raikage, First Tsuchikage, Second Kazekage, Second Mizukage, Second Raikage, and Second Tsuchikage.
"To have so many Kage of a single village gathered here, who would have thought?" Kabuto said with a smile.
"Indeed, we have our beloved Second Hokage to thank for this. Don't you agree, Nidaime-sama?" Orochimaru added, turning to the figure behind him.
A silver-haired Tobirama Senju stepped into the room and gave Orochimaru a stoic glance before replying indifferently, "Begin."
The simultaneous arrival of the eight Kage was a significant event, and as an acquaintance, Tobirama felt it necessary to oversee the process and later explain the current situation to them.
Orochimaru shrugged and obediently began the process, "Respect for elders first. Let's start with the First Four Kage."
