How is this going?

Jiraiya looked at what was happening in front of him with some confusion. The smell of blood left on the ground, as well as the broken limbs that had not been cleaned up in time, proved how tragic the previous battle here was.

He just left for a while to send information to the Konoha ninjas on the road. How come the Otogakure ninjas guarding the gate of the stronghold were annihilated in the blink of an eye? What just happened here?

Although it was unbelievable, after being shocked, Jiraiya gradually regained his composure. It would not be the Konoha ninjas who destroyed this group of Otogakure ninjas. They were still on their way here and could not suddenly appear here. This

This means that an unplanned enemy is targeting this place.

And the other party's purpose is probably the same as their Konoha ninjas, they are all coming for Orochimaru.

Standing at the gate of the stronghold, Jiraiya looked at the dark corridor in front of him that was filled with the smell of blood. It was obviously a nice warm day, but the air around him was as cold and cold as winter.

In the deep and endless corridor, the walls and floor were also paved with blood. The corpses randomly discarded on both sides of the corridor were all the bones of Otogakure ninjas.

"Has the entire army been wiped out? This is really too tragic. And this kind of wound..."

Jiraiya knelt down and carefully observed a relatively complete corpse, staring at the wounds on the corpse, and then frowned.

Although the wound was very neat, as if it had been cut carefully, it did not look like a wound made by a sword.

Is it caused by ninjutsu?

Before Jiraiya could think about the next step, a sharp whistling sound came flying towards him.

Without thinking, he jumped back and dodged the attack. He saw an air blade falling ruthlessly from the sky, hitting the ground where Jiraiya was originally, leaving a neat incision, neatly cutting open the ground, and raised the

A piece of dust.

Jiraiya looked solemn, raised his head and stared upwards. The figure flying in the sky blocked the sun just enough. He could barely see that the figure was wearing a red and white miko uniform. He held up his hands, and a white ball appeared on each palm.

The flash made a harsh and sharp sound of air friction, compressing the surrounding air.

"You are from the country of ghosts..."

Jiraiya immediately recognized the other party's identity.

Then his face darkened, as if he thought of something bad.

The doubts were solved. While he was leaving to deliver information to Konoha, it was people from the Kingdom of Demons who attacked this stronghold.

The cuts on the corpses of these Otogakure ninjas were caused by wind knives.

The Tianyu Girl looked down at Jiraiya who was on the ground and began to show hostility and vigilance. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but the air held in his palms was further compressed. The white light shining there could explode at any time, rubbing against the air.

The harsh sound constantly hurts people's eardrums.

The air blade compressed in the palm of your hand is ready to go.

However, just when the momentum of the air blade in the palm reached its peak, suddenly, the sound and the white flash of compressed air disappeared in an instant.

The pressure on Tianyu Nu's whole body suddenly relaxed, giving people a chance to breathe.

She glanced at Jiraiya and flew away without looking back, no longer entangled with him.

Watching the opponent's flying figure, Jiraiya didn't even think about chasing him.

It would be a waste of time to catch up with a flying ninja, and he has not forgotten the purpose of his trip. Compared with the Kingdom of Oni, Orochimaru is more important now.

"What is this place?"

The smell of disinfectant in the air disappeared, and the surrounding environment was completely different from the laboratory.

The visible range is only about tens of meters in radius. As for the space further away, it is shrouded in darkness that even the Sharingan cannot completely see through, like a world of death.

In addition, there was the sound of some kind of creature squirming in my ears.

Zuosuke looked down, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Meat cubes.

The place under your feet is not flat ground, but a huge platform piled up with pieces of meat, and these pieces of meat are constantly squirming, pulsating as if they are alive.

Zuosuke clearly remembered that he had cut Orochimaru's body open with the Kusanagi sword before, so why did he suddenly appear in such a place?

The peculiar smell in the air made him feel physically uncomfortable.

The air here is toxic.

"Zosuke-kun, this is the alien space hidden in my body. It is used to perform reincarnation rituals. When I shed my skin, I will activate my ninjutsu."

The pieces of meat squirmed, and a slender figure protruded from the land made of pieces of meat. It was Orochimaru.

At this time, except for his face, the rest of his body was covered with wriggling flesh.

He stuck out his long tongue, as if he wasn't afraid that Zuosuke would know the answer.

"Shedding your skin? In other words, wasn't the real body that I cut off just now? Sure enough, you have transformed yourself even more than those experimental subjects."

Zuosuke raised his eyebrows and understood.

"This is a necessary process to enter eternal life. All the sacrifices and research so far have been of precious value."

Orochimaru said this, his voice calmed down and not as crazy as before.

But looking at Sasuke's pair of Sharingan, there was still a trace of fiery color left in the golden snake boy, and the greedy Sharingan's desire was undisguised.

"Looking at you now, I really feel sad for my name as a genius. This world of ninjas is dominated by the curse of the blood successor boundary... No matter what kind of genius he is, in the face of the power of the blood successor boundary, he seems to be weak.

It’s insignificant. Among them, Sharingan is the most powerful blood successor limit, because it has the possibility of infinite evolution.”

Orochimaru showed off his knowledge and insights, but could not cause the slightest movement on Zuosuke's face.

"Is this why you covet the power of the Uchiha clan?"

"No, it's just that the Sharingan is closer to my 'truth' than the Byakugan. And when all the materials are gathered together and the route planned, there is a great possibility of implementation. This is done through my hands and personal simulation and calculation

The answer comes out.”

"boring."

"Hehe, whatever you say, you are already in my possession now. There is no need to think about Qianye Baishi coming to save you. The reason why I waited until today to take action is to wait for you to learn the magic of immortality.

After that, I will devour you. In this way, the magic will also become mine."

Orochimaru spoke with a look that saw through everything, as if he already knew that Sasuke and Kakashi had ulterior motives for joining him.

The reason why he endured all this was to get the Sharingan in Sasuke's body and the celestial arts inherited from the Demon Country.

Therefore, even when the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen committed suicide a few years ago and was plotted by the Kingdom of Demons, he did not get angry at all.

As long as you can obtain the Sharingan and Senjutsu, there is no need to care about temporary honor and disgrace.

"It seems you are not ignorant."

After a slight silence, Zuosuke said.

"Of course. Although I don't know what means Qianye Shiraishi has reserved in your body, but no matter what it is, in the world that belongs to me, all actions will become meaningless. Now I,

Closer to the 'truth' of this world."

As Orochimaru finished speaking, Zuosuke clearly felt that the atmosphere in this space had become abnormal.

The flesh under his feet squirmed even faster, as if it was pregnant with some kind of huge terror.

"Body……"

Zuosuke lowered his head and suddenly found that his body could not move.

"Haha, it seems that the binding power of the curse seal has begun to take effect."

Orochimaru looked at Zuosuke, who was motionless in this space, and licked his lips lightly, as if he was about to enjoy a delicious meal.

"Then...it's our turn to truly become one."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands from the wriggling flesh and made a seal.

The pieces of flesh under Zuosuke's feet proliferated rapidly, and these proliferated pieces of meat formed the shape of a big snake, wrapping around Zuosuke's body, opening its huge mouth, and assuming a ferocious posture to devour Zuosuke's body.

Not only that, Zuosuke could vaguely see a few human faces among these proliferating pieces of flesh.

It's just that their consciousness seems to be sleeping, and they seem to be dead. Under such movement, there is no sign of waking up.

Are they the victims who were devoured by Orochimaru before? Zuosuke looked at these human faces exposed from the flesh and suddenly figured out something.

In order to maintain his immortality, Orochimaru must have performed more than just reincarnation rituals on him. Judging from the scale and completeness of the formation of this space, it was not Orochimaru's first time to perform reincarnation rituals.

Obviously, there were several victims who were devoured by Orochimaru before him.

However, Zuosuke soon couldn't take care of these things anymore. The snake-shaped flesh wrapped around his body was like a tightening rope, tightly trapping him and clinging to his body at a terrifying speed, polluting his spirit.

.

"It's absolutely disgusting."

Zuosuke was obviously displeased, and there was a hint of cold murderous intent in the three Magatama Sharingan eyes, pointing directly at Orochimaru in front of him.

Although the body cannot move, the Sharingan is not blocked. For the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, as long as the Sharingan is not blocked, they can continue to fight.

So, Zuosuke began to inject child energy into his pair of Sharingan. A dangerous aura spread out from his body. The snake-shaped flesh on his body seemed to feel something terrifying, and it stopped swallowing directly, and was faintly swallowed by Zuosuke.

The help of children suppressed them and began to evacuate.
