Katsuyu waved her claws indifferently. "Hmm, it's nothing complicated. It's just a matter of changing the density and properties of the sand. It won't take long to remember. Hahahaha! By then, this big guy will have a life to play with for a whole year! Hahahaha!!!"
Wujie and Katsuyu were also amused. The shadow clone couldn't even maintain itself.
After simply tidying up the surroundings, Wujie said to Katsuyu, "Bring Kakashi. Let's go see Orochimaru first and talk a bit. Otherwise, when we have to let Kakashi go later, our motives won't seem reasonable."
Katsuyu nodded. Then the two used a sealing scroll to seal Kakashi into a wooden doll. Then Wujie performed a few hand signs, forming several runes that locked onto the wooden doll, sealing him. Katsuyu then created a stone coffin and put him inside.
There was no other way. A sealing scroll couldn't seal a living person, so they could only deal with Kakashi this way and seal him.
After finishing, the two returned from the alternate dimension to the real world. The alternate dimension, having lost its chakra sustenance, collapsed, and everything left inside was crushed out.
Wujie and Katsuyu looked around. At this moment, Konoha's secret strongholds of Anbu had been completely destroyed by fire and explosion. Many bewildered civilians were gathered around, looking puzzled.
But when they saw Wujie and Katsuyu appear out of thin air, they instantly understood that this explosion was caused by the battle between ninjas.
So they all fled from here in terror.
For commoners, ninjas were completely uncontrollable natural disasters. Countless commoners died in the aftermath of battles.
Even during the Great Ninja War, enemy ninjas would infiltrate and burn down commoner villages in their own country to weaken the nation's material resources and population.
Although war belongs to ninjas, it is not far from commoners.
Wujie and Katsuyu once again performed the Peacock Method. Two gigantic purple feathered wings extended from their backs. Then, using wind control, they ascended into the sky, rapidly flying towards Orochimaru's location.
It was a mountainous area with a direct distance of only ten kilometers. If they walked on the ground, it would take a long time, but in the unobstructed sky, it only took a few minutes.
Orochimaru and Kabuto weren't too far away. Unlike the Akatsuki duo, they didn't need to leave quickly, so it only took them ten minutes to find their figures.
Orochimaru watched the two flying from a distance, then smiled and stayed in place.
Flying in the sky is naturally fast, but the drawback is that in the completely open sky, the enemy can also detect the target from a very long distance.
Fortunately, the current Orochimaru is not an enemy.
Moments later, Wujie and Katsuyu retracted their purple wings and steadily landed on the ground.
Orochimaru was the first to speak: "Flying, huh? Oh, what a convenient ability."
As he spoke, he glanced at the stone coffin behind Katsuyu, guessing what the two of them had done and what they had gained.
Wujie also smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the compliment. I also find it very convenient."
Especially how the Peacock Method could also be combined with Katsuyu's body to form a disguise.
Orochimaru didn't waste any more words and immediately said, "It seems your time is also tight. If so, let's proceed with our trade now."
Wujie nodded and likewise said, "Naturally. However, the Five Elements Seal is not something that can be casually lifted. I need a willing sacrifice to exchange for your two hands. I suppose this shouldn't be too difficult for you, Mister Orochimaru?"
"Sacrifice? Are there any specific requirements?"
Hundreds of targets instantly appeared in Orochimaru's mind. Everywhere he had established secret bases in the ninja world, he had imprisoned several or even dozens of experimental subjects. So finding a willing sacrifice shouldn't be too difficult.
Wujie replied, "There are only two requirements. First, they must be willing to release the seal. Second, their life force should preferably be strong, to prevent them from dying before the ritual is complete."
Ritual...
Orochimaru pondered for a moment. He had never heard that a sealing jutsu required a ritual to be released. This made it seem as if the one who performed the seal was not a ninja, but some unknown entity.
Orochimaru was still thinking, when Wujie once again said with a smile, "Mister Orochimaru, please don't be in a hurry. Before we continue the trade, I think we also need some compensation to make up for the damage you caused to our trust before."
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and said to Wujie, "Oh, what kind of compensation do you want?"
"I want three tomoe Sharingan, and they must be left eyes."
"Sharingan, what do you want to do with that?" Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, not denying that he possessed Sharingan.
After witnessing the power of the Sharingan, he had always hoped to gain an Uchiha body. Therefore, he naturally researched the Sharingan, so it was not surprising that he had some in his possession. Moreover, he did not conceal his desire for Sasuke. Therefore, it was not strange that Wujie could deduce this point.
Wujie probably guessed Orochimaru's thoughts, so he explained, "Mister Orochimaru should know that I encountered Uchiha Itachi in Konoha. Unfortunately, our interaction was not very pleasant. His left eye caused me a lot of trouble, so I only need to share a similar Sharingan. If Mister Orochimaru has any information he wants to share, you can also exchange it with me."
Uchiha Itachi's left eye, Tsukuyomi…
Orochimaru was instantly sealed by Tsukuyomi when he first attacked Uchiha Itachi. He had a deep impression of this, so to speak.
However, could Wujie's words truly be trusted? He hadn't forgotten how Jiraiya and Tsunade were tricked by him.
Thinking of this, he said again, "Unfortunately, I still can't confirm if the scroll in your hand can truly restore my hands."
"Mister Orochimaru, the same tricky technique cannot be used a second time." Wujie laughed, recalling his second interaction with the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire. "But I can give you some hints to strengthen your confidence. After your two hands were severed, you actually saw that white-haired, dual-horned death god."
The Shinigami sealed by the Reaper Death Seal is normally invisible and can only be seen by the caster and those with sufficient spiritual power.
Orochimaru nodded. He had indeed seen a tall phantom of the Shinigami behind the Third Hokage. He had not talked about it before.
So, after a slight thought, Orochimaru flicked a small snake from his sleeve. Then the snake opened its mouth wide and spat out a cultivation container. This thing looked far more advanced than the glass jar Wujie used for Kamui.
Kabuto Yakushi caught the cultivation container, then walked over. Katsuyu stepped forward and took it from his hand. A three-tomoe Sharingan was floating inside.
Orochimaru chuckled and said, "How about it? Can the trade continue?"
Wujie looked at the Sharingan and laughed, then casually put it away and said to Orochimaru, "Of course. Give me an address. Three days from now, I'll come to find you. Please prepare the items for trade. This price won't be low."
Three days?
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed. Kabuto Yakushi immediately spoke up: "You still need three days? Are you toying with us?"
"Just like your side, our side also needs to make some ritual preparations. And please be assured, Uzumaki never lies. We have always treated every transaction with the utmost sincerity. Besides, even if I were to cheat you, I wouldn't just cheat you out of one Sharingan, would I?"
In the great battle on Short Street, Orochimaru, who had been frantically searching for his Jutsu ability and had been constantly pressured by Tsunade, finally said with deep meaning, "I hope this time, you won't disappoint me again."
After all, the ultimate resolution lay in Wujie's hands. As long as he wanted to retrieve his hands, he could only act according to the other party's steps.
After speaking, he looked at Kabuto Yakushi. The latter then handed a contact address to Wujie and said, "Wait at this place, someone will meet you."
After carefully putting away the address, Wujie bowed simply to Orochimaru and said, "Then, let's meet again in three days."
After speaking, the two disappeared into the alternate dimension. A short while later, two purple figures shot into the sky, flying rapidly towards the distance.
Kabuto Yakushi looked at Orochimaru. Although he showed no expression, Kabuto, who had always been by his side, knew that Orochimaru was very angry at this moment. "Lord Orochimaru."
"Heh heh," Orochimaru chuckled softly, then his face changed, and he said in an icy tone, "This feeling of being threatened is truly exhilarating. Heh heh, I really look forward to what will happen in three days..."
...
The Akatsuki duo and Jiraiya had left Katsuyu's sensory range not long ago. The two were flying rapidly in the direction they had last left. At the same time, Katsuyu was using her Mind's Eye of Kagura to search for their location.
A sensory radius exceeding fifty kilometers was indeed somewhat terrifying for this ninja world. However, in less than twenty minutes, Jiraiya and the others' chakra reactions appeared within Katsuyu's sensory range.
The two adjusted their flight direction and found a mountaintop about twenty to twenty-five kilometers away from them to land.
Katsuyu then said to Wujie, "Brother Wujie, their chakra has all re-converged. They must have started fighting."
Wujie nodded, "Then we must also hurry."
After speaking, Katsuyu opened the stone coffin and took out Kakashi. She then removed the seal on him, letting him lie flat on the ground.
Wujie took out the three-tomoe Sharingan he had obtained from Orochimaru. Katsuyu then took it and carefully transplanted it into Kakashi's empty eye socket.
Then he pricked his finger, and a drop of blood dripped into Kakashi's mouth. Although it couldn't compare to Body Healing, a faint vitality still entered his body.
Katsuyu then guided this vitality to condense on his eye sockets. In just a moment, the severed optic nerve reconnected with the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Thus, they gained another Banner Kakashi.
And it looked brand new.
