Chapter 185 The Agreement
Orochimaru's laboratory.
He had established countless strongholds in various countries, so building basements was second nature to him.
Although the hospital is still under construction, Orochimaru's basement is already taking shape.
Orochimaru and Chiyo were on the lowest level. Orochimaru was drawing a huge Impure World Reincarnation array on the ground.
Kisame Hoshigaki stood by and watched, but you could tell from his eyes that he was not at peace.
Orochimaru said as he drew the array:
"I haven't reformed the Impure World Reincarnation yet, so my combat power is very low right now, but my mind is perfectly fine."
Contrary to what Chiyo had imagined, Orochimaru had not yet mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Even the current version of Edo Tensei is still very rudimentary.
But since Qianyao had already told him what the late stage of Edo Tensei looked like.
Orochimaru will naturally devote his efforts to research, since there is a need for it now.
"Being fully conscious is enough."
Qianyao doesn't need the fighting power of the Impure World Reincarnation right now, since there's still plenty of time.
"Alright, put the offerings here, and put some of the corpses here as well."
Orochimaru drew up the formation and directed Kisame Hoshigaki to do the work.
Kisame Hoshigaki threw the bounty hunters he had captured outside into that circle.
Then they put the body back in its place.
Orochimaru wasted no time and quickly formed hand seals.
"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"
Orochimaru struck down with his palm, and the entire formation began to glow.
A large number of rune papers were swept towards the bounty hunter.
Amidst the howling of the eerie wind and covered by talismans, a beautiful female ninja from the Hidden Mist Village appeared.
Kisame Hoshigaki was clearly agitated.
Qianyao simply pressed his hand down on him, saying, "Wait a moment."
Orochimaru formed hand seals, and the female ninja's eyes slowly began to move.
She raised her hand and looked at her body with a puzzled expression.
"I...I'm dead, aren't I?"
Then she looked up and saw Kisame standing in front of her.
A smile appeared on his face: "Brother Hoshigaki, what's going on?"
Kisame opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.
Chiyo, watching from the side, could only speak up for Kisame:
“You are already dead, but Kisame wants to see you one last time, so he asked us to perform this secret technique.”
"You can only be resurrected and exist for a short time. Do you have anything to say?"
The female ninja glanced at Qianyao and gave him a grateful smile.
Kisame finally managed to gather his thoughts, and a smile appeared on his face:
"We agreed to have dinner together after the mission is over. Let's do it today."
The woman nodded, suppressing a smile: "That's wonderful, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
She didn't mention being killed by Kisame Hoshigaki, as if it wasn't important at all.
“There’s a restaurant in the village, I’ll take you there.”
Qianyao gestured for the two to follow, and they followed behind.
The Uchiha clan's territory was quite large, with all sorts of shops. Chiyo didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so he took the two of them to one of the clan's shops.
Qianyao booked the entire store, leaving the two of them with their own time and space.
He walked outside the shop and saw Orochimaru standing there.
"You're very good at winning people's hearts," Orochimaru said with a smile.
Qianyao said noncommittally, "It was just something I did on the side. Anyway, you'll be researching the Impure World Reincarnation later."
Orochimaru chuckled softly and said nothing more.
"You can't eat after being resurrected with Edo Tensei, right?" Qianyao asked.
Orochimaru shook his head.
Qianyao guessed that was true, since his entire body was made of talismans.
"Are there any missing research equipment?" Qian Yao asked.
Orochimaru pondered for a moment: "The old man hasn't even finished buying and delivering the receipt I gave you last time."
"There will always be a shortage, but some things are hard to buy even in the Land of Fire."
"We'll have to buy it from other major countries."
Chiyo's eyes darted around: "What if there were a channel through the Land of Rock?"
Orochimaru's eyes lit up: "Oh? Where did you get this connection?"
Qianyao pointed in the direction where Deidara and Kurotsuchi were imprisoned in the clan's territory: "Put these two little things back, we'll have to collect some ransom."
Orochimaru looked at him strangely: "You just let them go like that?"
Qianyao has achieved his goal; now it's time to wait for the harvest.
Actually, we could release them now, but that would be a waste.
Orochimaru needed medical equipment, so it was a win-win situation for him.
Chiyo did not directly answer Orochimaru's question, but simply said, "This doesn't matter."
Orochimaru nodded, without asking any further questions.
"In that case, I'll give you a list now."
Orochimaru disappeared and returned quickly, holding a list of medical equipment for Chiyo.
Qianyao looked at the name and recognized each character.
Put them all together, I'm sorry, I don't recognize any of them.
"Alright, I'll hand these over to Iwagakure."
Orochimaru pointed to a few: "These are the most important ones. Although they are not very valuable, they are hard to find."
Qianyao nodded and wrote it down.
Orochimaru asked with some curiosity, "With your strength, you could easily stage a coup by force, so why are you playing this kind of game with the old man?"
Qianyao pondered for a moment. He couldn't very well say that his people were all tools for him to become stronger, and that not a single one of them could die.
So he said, "A military coup has too many uncontrollable factors. Among the Uchiha clan now, only I have such combat power."
"They've trapped me. Itachi and Fugaku can't withstand being surrounded and killed."
"If I get sealed by the corpse demon, I'll be at a huge loss."
"Taking Konoha without shedding blood is my goal."
Qianyao said, half-jokingly.
"The clan is already developing fast enough. The benefits of a violent coup are not enough to support my risky actions."
"After all, I am now the clan leader, and I am responsible for the entire Uchiha clan."
Orochimaru looked Chiyo up and down: "You are the least Uchiha-like Uchiha."
Qianyao smiled and patted Orochimaru on the shoulder: "The road ahead is still long."
He and Orochimaru didn't chat for long on the street.
Then Kisame and Hoshigaki walked out.
The Hidden Mist female ninja wore a smile and a look of relief.
"Brother Kisame, thank you for remembering our promise to have dinner together."
As she spoke, a shimmering white light emanated from her body, and her impure form began to crack.
"I hope your life won't be so hard in the future."
"I hope in the next life..."
Her mouth opened and closed a few times, but no sound came out.
A semi-transparent figure, looking reluctant, flew into the air and disappeared.
Kisame reached out and grabbed it: "Kyoko!"
But all he managed to grab was a bunch of talismans.
The veins on Kisame's hands were bulging, clearly indicating a turbulent inner state.
Qianyao knew that those who were reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation technique could achieve spiritual liberation and escape its effects once they had no regrets.
Orochimaru's eyes were filled with astonishment: "It actually untied itself?"
