Chapter 1102: Gathering Strength

Boom boom.

The smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion drifted into the air and could be seen from a long distance.

While speeding, Orochimaru looked back, with deep confusion and a hint of subtle fear in his eyes.

He didn't understand why Uchiha Itachi would target him.

You must know that no matter what position he stood on, Uchiha Itachi should not embarrass himself at this critical and sensitive time.

The Yakushi Kabuto behind him reminded: "Lord Orochimaru, he is catching up again!"

"Tsk!" Spitting lightly, Orochimaru said with a dark face: "Never mind him, we don't have time to entangle with him now!"

Just now, Orochimaru tried to fight with the 'Uchiha Itachi' who came to the door, but as a result, they joined forces and didn't get any advantage.

Considering that this might be a conspiracy of the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru decisively chose to retreat.

After all, he didn't know the true identity of Obito, but only confirmed that Obito was not Uchiha Madara, so he couldn't completely trust Obito, let alone put his own safety above the deal with Obito!

In the team, Honglian was a little puzzled: "Master Orochimaru, no matter how powerful Uchiha Itachi is, he is just one person. We don't need to be afraid of him, right?"

Tayuya echoed: "Yes, let's deal with him!"

"Shut up!"

Orochimaru scolded.

Honglian and Tayuya quickly kept silent and dared not say more.

Orochimaru also glanced behind him, and recalled the scenes related to Uchiha Itachi in his mind.

It can be said that his almost paranoid pursuit of Mangekyō Sharingan was largely due to the blow given to him by Uchiha Itachi.

When he had already achieved the name of "Three Ninjas of Konoha", Itachi was still just a little kid.

At that time, he keenly noticed Itachi's talent, and in addition to being shocked, he also had a covetous heart in his heart.

Because as his strength became stronger and stronger, he gradually realized that he seemed to have reached his own limit.

For him who had no blood limit and no sage body, the upper limit was already determined.

Unwilling to give up, he set his sights on other people's bloodline limits and began human experiments that were inhumane in the eyes of outsiders.

But for Orochimaru himself, this was the only way for him to pursue a breakthrough. For this reason, he abandoned everything and chose to defect!

Continuous human experiments and the continuous development of forbidden techniques have loosened the upper limit of Orochimaru's strength.

With the successful development of "Reincarnation of the Corpse", Orochimaru finally gained the ability to seize other people's bodies. At this time, in the rebellious Akatsuki organization, Itachi, who had grown up and become more powerful, appeared in front of him again.

A young body with top-notch pupil techniques and bloodline limits was undoubtedly a fatal temptation for Orochimaru at the time, so he chose to turn his face without thinking.

In his opinion, he was a "Three Ninjas of Konoha" who had been famous in the ninja world for many years and was a powerful ninja who was qualified to run for the position of Hokage. The other party was just a kid who had just turned fourteen years old. It should be easy to take him down without any intention.

As a result, a scene that he would never forget appeared.

Itachi only needed a simple eye contact, an ordinary illusion, to make him unable to move in an instant, and look very ugly.

Soon, Orochimaru gathered his scattered thoughts.

The Land of Rain.

The sky was still drizzling.

In the thin rain, Shinji, wearing a cat-faced mask and a hooded red cloud suit, stood quietly on the crown of a big tree.

Not far behind him, on a big tree, stood three figures wearing hooded red cloud suits.

Karin, wearing a fox-faced mask, folded her arms on the tree branch, leaning against the tree trunk, as if she was closing her eyes to perceive something.

Wuming, wearing an eye-patterned mask, sat on the tree branch, one leg hanging naturally, the other leg casually crossed, his eyes staring at Shinji on the tree crown not far away.

The last figure was Yakumo, wearing a Prajna demon mask, with one hand on her waist, looking around vigilantly. However, this is not Yakumo's real body, but a blood clone following Shinji, a backup for launching the space replacement of the "Red Dragon".

Under the mask, Shinji frowned slightly.

Because he used "Naobi" to connect Orochimaru and Ido, who was responsible for monitoring Orochimaru, Shinji, who was in the Rain Country, felt like he was there in person when Orochimaru annihilated Tanjiro.

Shinji didn't care about the process of annihilating Tanjiro. What he cared about now was Tanjiro's last blow before his death.

He had confirmed that the overlord power that infiltrated the ninja world was in Tanjiro, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

And just when he was about to continue to pay attention to the changes in Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachi inexplicably found Orochimaru.

This familiar scene reminded him of the scene when "Tsugikoku Yoriichi" chased Ubuyashiki Ryuu in the Demon Slayer World.

He knew that the overlord could visualize the fear in people's hearts.

"Could it be that the other party mistook Orochimaru for the 'Lantern Bearer' of the Ninja World? That's right, Orochimaru appeared so coincidentally, and his methods are not weak, which does fit the characteristics of a 'Lantern Bearer'. Haha, I was just in case, but I didn't expect Orochimaru to block a knife for me!"

Chuckling, Shinji began to wonder what would be projected out if he was hit by the Overlord's 'Fear Projection'.

Then, Shinji thought of using Orochimaru to test whether the Overlord's embodiment of 'Uchiha Itachi' could be killed.

Anyway, in his eyes, any power that the Overlord has infiltrated into the Ninja World must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Then he looked in the direction of the headquarters of the Ninja Village Alliance.

In this confrontation with the Overlord, it is important to eliminate the power of the Overlord that has infiltrated into the Ninja World, but this can only barely delay the time for the Overlord to attack the Ninja World, which is a means of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

So if you want to truly solve the crisis, you can only constantly improve your own strength and make yourself capable of fighting the Overlord.

Becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki is one of Shinji's most important goals at the moment.

It's just that Nagato showed more patience than he expected before. Although the Ninja World War has been heated up, he has not made a move.

"What are you worried about? Or are you preparing for something?"

Shinji couldn't guess Nagato's thoughts for a while.

But he had a hunch that Nagato was not the kind of person who liked to wait for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to wait behind. If he didn't make a move, it meant that there must be a reason for him not to make a move. And when he really makes a move, it is likely to be an unstoppable thunderbolt!

By then, a battle for the Ten-Tails will begin in the Ninja World!

Swish

At this time, Neji, wearing a whiteboard mask, and Maru, wearing a snake-faced mask, passed through the rain and landed in front of Shinji, saying in unison: "Sir!"

Shinji nodded.

For this battle, he is also gathering his strength!

The first update is here!
