Chapter 380 Recruiting Orochimaru
The fourteen Jonin were divided into two teams, each team had seven Jonin, the True Super Seven.
Although Orochimaru was already a shadow-level expert at this time, he did not master so many messy secret techniques. At the same time, he would still be unable to deal with seven jounin-level masters.
Even for Orochimaru, the peak figure in the original plot who has mastered various secret techniques, it is not easy to defeat the Super Seven.
In the dark underground cave, Orochimaru covered his chest with his hands, leaning on the stone wall and panting.
The pursuit for several months made Orochimaru mentally and physically exhausted. Because he was worried that a long battle with his opponent would draw away Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru did not dare to fight with his opponent for a long time after being overtaken.
Even because he was worried that the chasing team would find his traces through clues, Orochimaru did not even dare to stay in the same place for too long.
"We have run out of food pills and medicines. If we can no longer get rid of the pursuers, we need to find ways to get new medicines and supplies.
But in this case, the whereabouts will be exposed again..."
Orochimaru frowned, thinking about future countermeasures and ways out, but no matter what, he couldn't think of any way to save his life.
There is no way, the enemy's lineup is too luxurious: Mai Uchiha, the strongest in the ninja world, and Feng Minato, the fastest in the ninja world.
Although these two people have not taken action so far, Orochimaru must prepare for the worst, otherwise the initiative will still be in the hands of others no matter how good the calculation is.
but……
It is impossible to win, and it is impossible to escape successfully. One day he will be entangled by the pursuers. When the pursuers send the news back, and Minato Namikaze and Mai Uchiha attack again, he will definitely die.
As strong as the Kyuubi, he was defeated by Uchiha Mai with a wave of his hand.
So whether he can survive or not depends on Mai Uchiha's face.
Orochimaru estimated that if he secretly defected to Uchiha Mai, he would indeed have a certain chance of survival, but there was also a possibility that Uchiha Mai would chop him up on the spot and feed him to dogs as a record of the superior Fifth Generation Naruto's political achievements.
It would be even more impossible to defect to other ninja villages.
Kirigakure Village is the base camp of Mai Uchiha, Sunagakure Village is the only one who follows Mai Uchiha's lead, and Kumogakure Village has just been educated, and they will definitely not and dare not accept him.
The remaining Iwagakure village still has a grudge against Orochimaru: a few years ago Orochimaru teamed up with Mai Uchiha to depose the four-tailed Jinchuuriki Laozi.
And in the following years, Orochimaru served as the coach of Konoha's anti-Iwagakure forces for a long time.
Looking around, there are enemies all over the world, but the ninja world is so vast that there is no place for Orochimaru.
What should I do? Should I join Uchiha Mai, try my best on my eloquence, and give myself a chance for the 1/2 chance of survival?
Just as Orochimaru was hesitating, there was a sudden movement from the other end of the cave, and Orochimaru was suddenly alert.
After being chased for so long, Orochimaru was as frightened as a bird, and all the plants and trees were in a panic. If he hadn't always maintained such vigilance, he would have died at the hands of his pursuers.
"who?"
Regardless of his injuries, Orochimaru stood up quickly, released chakra to detect the surrounding situation, and at the same time prepared to run away.
"Orochimaru, don't worry, we don't mean any harm."
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground, and walked out of the shadows with smiles on their faces. However, these two strange people could not make Orochimaru feel at ease.
After some investigation, there were no other ambushes except the two weirdos in front of them. It seemed that Konoha's pursuers had not come after them. The two people in front of them were most likely not from Konoha.
Could it be someone from Mai Uchiha?
Orochimaru speculated in his mind that Kirigakure and Konoha were two systems. Konoha was completely transparent in front of Kirigakure, but in Konoha's eyes, the situation in Kirigakure was a fog.
During the Ninja World War, Uchiha Mai found a shadow-level master Kakuto from nowhere to help Konoha overcome the difficulties.
Now Kakuzu is still working in Kirigakure Village. It's also reasonable that there are some talented people in Kirigakure Village that the outside world doesn't know about.
If the two people in front of her are Uchiha Mai's people, it proves that Uchiha Mai wants to protect herself.
"Are you Uchiha Mai?" Orochimaru asked, staring at Black Zetsu closely.
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu looked at each other, laughed, and said: "Our master's surname is indeed Uchiha, but not Uchiha Mai?"
Who else could it be if it wasn't Mai Uchiha? Fugaku?
Orochimaru frowned, suddenly thinking of a possibility, and said hoarsely: "Uchiha Madara?"
"That's right."
Black Jue nodded slightly and admitted, "Our master is none other than Lord Madara.
Orochimaru, don’t talk nonsense, you are a rare talent, and what Madara-sama currently needs is your kind of talent.
Are you interested in doing something for Madara-sama? "
Orochimaru did not answer Fei Heizetsu's question, but asked: "Didn't Madara die in the fight with Uchiha Mai?"
Ultraman lost to Zedi, why did I have such a dream?
Orochimaru said with his own eyes that Uchiha Madara was crushed to pieces by Uchiha Mai's innate body-breaking invisible sword energy. There was no residue left, and there was no possibility of being reincarnated by the dirty soil.
As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and Black and White Zetsu is looking for him now, either because he needs him to resurrect Madara, or because Madara is not dead yet.
"How could a mere Uchiha Mai kill Madara-sama?"
Seeing that Orochimaru was not convinced, Black Zetsu explained: "The Uchiha family has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless secret techniques in the family.
Among them is one, the most perfect and terrifying illusion called Izanagi.
This technique requires a three-magatama Sharingan to be permanently blinded before it can be used. It can turn all the realities that are not favorable to the caster into illusions within a certain period of time, including death.
After the battle with Hashirama Senju, Madara-sama used this technique to fake his death and escape. When fighting with Uchiha Mai, Madara-sama also used Izanaki. "
Orochimaru suddenly realized, and at the same time he became more afraid of the Uchiha clan.
All the realities that are not favorable to oneself can be turned into illusions, which means that only one three-magatama is needed to overturn the outcome of a battle.
And in the Uchiha clan, there are at least a dozen ninjas who have opened three magatama.
Black Zetsu persuaded again: "Orochimaru, Madara-sama needs your strength at this moment, and you also need Madara-sama's strength.
At this moment, you are facing the pursuit of Konoha, and there is no place for you in the entire ninja world. Even the other major ninja villages are afraid of Uchiha Mai's strength and dare not accept you.
If you continue to wander, sooner or later you will die in the hands of Konoha's pursuers.
In the entire ninja world, the only one who can save you from Konoha and Uchiha Mai is Madara-sama. "
Orochimaru was somewhat tempted, but still a little hesitant, questioning: "Why should I choose Uchiha Madara?
Now I know that Madara is not dead yet. If I take this news to Uchiha Mai, I believe he will be happy to accept me.
With him around, it won't take long for me to appear in Konoha openly again.
On the other hand, Madara, you said that he didn't die after the battle with Senju Hashirama, which means that he has been hiding in the dark of the ninja world for decades.
Decades later, he came out again, but was defeated by Uchiha Mai and was beaten to ashes.
Even if he has the forbidden illusion of Izanaki and has the opportunity to start over again and again, why can he beat Uchiha Mai?
I grew up watching Uchiha Mai, and I know how terrifying his strength and his speed of progress are. I dare to assert that after a few months, Uchiha Mai's strength must have improved again.
Madara couldn't even beat Uchiha Mai a few months ago, let alone the current Mai. Why should I choose Madara between the two? "
This is a good question.
As a ninja with no moral integrity and no bottom line, Orochimaru must tend to choose a big man with a high winning rate. At present, Madara has no advantage.
"Madara-sama can't beat Uchiha Mai?
Ridiculous. "
Black Zetsu sneered and said disdainfully: "Uchiha Mai's strength is at best equivalent to Madara-sama at his peak decades ago.
But decades later, Madara-sama has far surpassed himself at his peak. Let me tell you a secret, a secret about Sharingan and Uchiha.
Uchiha and Senju are direct descendants of the Six Paths Sage, the former inherited the Sage Eye, and the latter inherited the Sage Body.
Above the three magatama is the Mangekyo, and above the Mangekyo is the Eternal Mangekyo. After the Uchiha who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan obtained the power of the Senju clan, he could obtain the eyes of the Six Paths Sage, the Samsara Eye.
It was after the battle with Senju Hashirama that Madara-sama obtained the Samsara Eye.
Madara-sama's eyes are two levels higher than Uchiha Mai. If Madara-sama had not left his eyes with Nagato and was old and weak with only 10% of his chakra left, how could he have lost to Uchiha Mai? ”
Playing the erhu with full health, wandering around with low health, it is the legend of the ninja world, Uchiha, Wuming, Madara!
Orochimaru's heart was in turmoil, he didn't expect that there was such a secret hidden in it, the Samsara Eye was actually evolved from the Eternal Mangekyō.
Three magatama evolved into a Mangekyō, and you can get the power comparable to the shadow of a village. How strong would the Mangekyō that surpassed the Eternal Eye be?
The Byakugan, Sharingan, and Samsara Eye are collectively known as the three major eye techniques, which have misled countless people. Come to think of it, the Samsara Eye is the eye of the legendary Six Paths Sage, how could it be on par with the ordinary Byakugan and Sharingan?
Alas, if I had the heart to kill Nagato when I first met him, Just take down Nagato's pair of Samsara Eyes and study them.
No, Orochimaru's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.
More than ten years ago, when he met Nagato, he did have the idea of taking the Samsara Eyes, but it was not strong.
After Jiraiya accepted the three children as his apprentices, Orochimaru gave up this plan and has not thought about it for more than ten years.
This is unreasonable.
According to rumors, the Samsara Eyes are the eyes of the Six Paths Sage. According to Orochimaru's usual style, he would definitely be very interested after seeing them, and use conspiracy and conspiracy, open and secret to seize them.
But Orochimaru has never had such an idea, which is unreasonable.
"It's an illusion."
Black Zetsu smiled and said, "Nagato is a vessel for cultivating the Samsara Eyes, and it is a part of Madara-sama's plan. How could Madara-sama not care about Nagato?
More than ten years ago, you had already been caught in Madara-sama's illusion, so you subconsciously ignored the pair of Samsara Eyes. "
More than a decade ago, Orochimaru was just a jonin.
It was very simple for Madara to use illusion to give Orochimaru a psychological hint and let him not set his sights on Nagato.
Orochimaru nodded slightly and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
If Madara could really get back his Samsara Eye and restore his body to its peak, he would have a good chance of winning against Uchiha Mai.
While thinking, Orochimaru also vaguely guessed the purpose of Black and White Zetsu looking for him.
"You want me to find a way to help Madara restore his body to its peak?" Orochimaru asked.
"That's right."
Black Zetsu admitted: "Orochimaru, Madara-sama and I have always been paying attention to you. Your talent in biological research is no less than that of the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama.
If it is you, it is very likely that you will research the secret technique that will allow Madara-sama to return to the peak of his body."
When it comes to the attainments in biological research, no one in the entire ninja world is more professional than Orochimaru. This is really the right person.
Orochimaru is still hesitating, whether to help Madara who has the Samsara Eye, or to help the non-human Uchiha Mai? If what Black Zetsu said is true, then Uchiha Madara's chances of winning are indeed much higher.
After weighing for a long time, Orochimaru felt that Black Zetsu was not lying, so he smiled and said: "You have successfully convinced me.
I also want to see how powerful Uchiha Madara can be in his peak period after getting back the Samsara Eye."
"A wise choice." Black Zetsu smiled.
White Zetsu, who had been keeping his mouth shut, said, "Since the deal has been settled, let's go back and see Lord Madara.
My White Zetsu clone has sensed Konoha's pursuers, and they are only five kilometers away from here. Orochimaru, your position has been exposed."
"Okay."
Orochimaru nodded slightly. Anyway, there was nothing worth picking up and lingering, so he quickly set off and left with Black and White Zetsu.
A few hours later, the three of them appeared in the underground cave of the Rain Country.
Orochimaru's sight was immediately attracted by Uchiha Madara.
A few months ago, Madara was crushed to ashes by Uchiha Wu, and now he was sitting quietly on a stone chair, old, decayed, and powerful.
Orochimaru could clearly sense that even the now old Uchiha Madara had a chakra in his body that far exceeded any Kage-level strongman.
How terrifying would this old man be after he recovered to his peak?
After that, Orochimaru noticed the pipe behind Madara and the Outer Path Demon Statue connected to the pipe.
Weird, ominous, powerful, the hideous and terrifying outer path demon statue reveals a strange divinity, which makes people want to kneel down.
"Lord Madara, I have successfully recruited Orochimaru."
Black Zetsu knelt on one knee and said loyally: "With the help of Orochimaru, you will definitely be able to recover to your peak at a faster speed to retrieve the Samsara Eye and defeat Uchiha Mai."
"Well done." Madara nodded slightly. Black Zetsu is still my center, worthy of being my child.
Although Madara does not care about Orochimaru's strength, he recognizes the role of Orochimaru.
Senju Tobirama once conducted various researches against Uchiha, and also developed the Flying Thunder God Technique to kill Izuna.
If Orochimaru really has the scientific research ability comparable to Senju Tobirama as rumored, he can indeed be a helper.
