Wujie asked Orochimaru for five things in total: Hashirama cells, Curse Marks, Sharingan, Dead Soul Jutsu, and biological cloning technology.
Among these things, only the Sharingan was a non-renewable rare resource. All other things could be obtained in large quantities through cloning. Even Hashirama cells and Uchiha Obito's cells could be acquired in large quantities through cloning.
Therefore, for Orochimaru, getting these things was not difficult to accept. The only problem was Wujie's attitude, which was like "you must follow my ideas, otherwise I will not respond to your requests," making him very uncomfortable.
Wujie knew this well, but Orochimaru was just a snake, not enough to make him change his attitude.
Despite being uncomfortable, Orochimaru still had enough rationality to calm himself down. He agreed to all of Wujie's requests, and it didn't take long for him to gather all the necessary items.
Two glass tubes, sealed within them, contained Hashirama cells and Uchiha Obito's cells respectively. Four scrolls contained information on cell transplantation, biological cloning, Curse Marks, and Kabuto's Dead Soul Jutsu. Additionally, there were fifteen sealed petri dishes, each containing five Sharingan of varying tomoe, from one-tomoe to three-tomoe.
After a simple check, confirming there were no major issues, Wujie smiled and said, "Let's begin, Mr. Orochimaru. Prepare to feel the sensation of regaining your arms."
Orochimaru's face showed an enigmatic smile.
They had already cleared a space in this base beforehand, but Wujie could still see dark red, almost black, bloodstains hidden in the cracks of the floor tiles...
Wujie and Xiang Ran changed their clothes, becoming the main and副祭司. Then, they brought the young man to the altar, dressing him up in a way that made him look neither human nor ghost. After that, he spent another half an hour making some seemingly elaborate but actually meaningless preparations.
Then, he formed a few hand signs and manifested four Shadow Clones, making them pose as priests. They sat cross-legged behind him in the four corners of the altar, muttering something in their mouths. But in reality, they were reciting pi, just to make the atmosphere seem a bit more somber.
Orochimaru expressed that he didn't understand, but Wujie stated, "The final right of interpretation is in my hands, so if you don't understand, don't speak!"
With all preparations made, the young man had roughly mastered the usage of the Reaper Death Seal: Release. He knew that after performing this ninjutsu, the Shinigami would take his life, but he had no other choice for his family. Having something to care about meant having a weakness.
Wujie lowered his head to look at Xiang Ran, then said to the young man, "Let's begin. Let's retrieve the Shinigami."
As he spoke, Wujie took out the Shinigami Mask and placed it on the young man's face. The young man took a deep breath, then began to operate the chakra within his body as instructed by the scroll, simultaneously emitting groaning sounds. His body also started to sway, as if he were having a seizure.
In this momentary pause of what was happening, suddenly, as if someone were pulling him, the young man's arms spread wide, and a Shinigami that no one could see appeared behind him! But precisely because no one could see it, Wujie also didn't know that the Shinigami's gaze had briefly lingered on him and Xiang Ran.
The Shinigami held a short blade in its mouth. Under the control of the ninjutsu, it used the short blade to slice open its own stomach. At the same time, a similar wound appeared on the young man's body! Immediately after, five glowing soul orbs quickly flew out from the Shinigami's stomach. One of the smaller soul orbs was attracted by Orochimaru and flew towards him.
The attraction between souls told Orochimaru that it was his hands!
His eyes instantly lit up, and his arms stretched forward. At the same time, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I have researched Hashirama cells for a while. You probably can't fully transform into a Tailed Beast anymore, can you?"
As his words fell, Kabuto also sent a signal. A large number of ninjas and strange experimental subjects suddenly swarmed in from all directions, surrounding Wujie and Xiang Ran!
The ceiling and the surrounding walls also flashed with a glow. The reinforced barrier, arranged in advance, instantly granted them the strength of steel, just like the Hokage Building in the Konoha Crush plan. It was almost impossible to be shattered by battle!
But it was also at this moment that the four Shadow Clones sitting in the four corners of the altar immediately formed a hand sign. Then, they softly chanted, "Barrier - Four Violet Flames Formation!!"
With a thud, a purple light screen instantly rose from all around, completely protecting the Shadow Clones and Wujie! The ninjas who rushed forward immediately stopped, thus avoiding the fate of being burned to ashes by the Four Violet Flames Formation!
The soul orb that was about to return to Orochimaru's body also thudded against the purple light screen and was bounced back!
Yes, the Four Violet Flames Formation could isolate souls! In the Fourth Great Ninja War, the barrier squad used the Four Violet Flames Formation to isolate Gekko Hayate's Reanimation Jutsu.
Therefore, as long as Orochimaru's hands were sealed here, he would be a rat in a trap, not daring to make any rash moves.
Watching the soul orb trapped within the barrier, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly realized he might have been a bit impulsive. His actions were not as cautious as before. Was it because he had lost a part of his soul, affecting his personality?
Would it be better to act later?
No, even if he didn't act, Naruto would surely activate the Four Violet Flames Formation. Just like when they were on the short street, those two wouldn't easily put themselves in danger.
However, even if Orochimaru understood this, he still felt a sense of regret in his heart. If he could regain his hands, he could perform some forbidden jutsus, and then, cooperating with his subordinates, he could certainly capture those two Naruto clones.
Wujie said with a faint smile, "Mr. Orochimaru, please don't rush. The ritual still needs some time. Those two hands will be given back to you later, unlike some people, Naruto would never betray."
After subtly mocking Orochimaru, he and Xiang Ran looked at the young man.
The young man's vitality seemed quite robust. Even with his stomach ripped open, he was still gritting his teeth in place. After observing for a moment, Xiang Ran placed her finger into the Shinigami Mask, making the young man stop groaning.
In an instant, a large amount of life force was poured into his body, but this life force did not act on the young man's body. Instead, it rapidly flowed to an unknown place.
Xiang Ran's brow furrowed, and she quickly withdrew her hand. At this moment, the young man had already fallen to his knees due to the loss of life force.
The two exchanged glances. It seemed their previous guess was correct.
Reaper Death Seal, demanding souls. Reaper Release, plundering life. Spirit and flesh, yin and yang. Once started, the entire process was irreversible. The Shinigami's ability did seem quite special.
Fortunately, Wujie was cautious and didn't rely on Xiang Ran's healing ability to try it himself. After confirming the young man would die, he turned to Orochimaru and said, "Please wait patiently. We'll be done soon. However, the next part is not convenient for you all to watch."
With that, Wujie formed a few hand signs, then softly chanted, "Three Lights Seal - Formation of Sun, Moon, and Stars! Three Talents Seal - Formation of Heaven, Earth, and Man!"
Two layers of seals instantly floated inside the Four Violet Flames Formation.
The Three Lights Seal formed a secret, light-invisible box, blocking the view of others. The Three Talents Seal then formed another box inside the first one, isolating Chakra.
All the soul orbs belonging to the Four Hokage were also sealed inside. But Wujie kept Orochimaru's two hands outside, preventing Orochimaru from making any drastic moves that could affect the outcome.
The four Shadow Clones maintaining the Four Violet Flames Formation said calmly to Orochimaru, "Please be patient. Don't do anything else that would displease us. If you like, we can also fight you to the death on the battlefield later."
Yes, you die, we live.
Orochimaru's face was grim. He asked the Shadow Clone in essence, "What are you plotting?"
The corner of the Shadow Clone's mouth slightly curled up. All of this was just another link in Plan B.
... and so on...
To ensure the successful execution of the plan, they had to obtain as much power as possible, and then create a huge vortex, dragging all five great ninja villages... all into it!!!
The Shadow Clone clearly did not explain the meaning of the plan to Orochimaru. All of them maintained silence, guarding against any abnormal situations that might occur around them.
At the same time, the Eye of Iduna on Wujie's forehead had opened. With the help of the power of Yin Release, a complex rune formation was etched onto the ground. Simultaneously, Wujie also removed the prosthetic eye from his left eye, revealing the Sharingan that belonged to Obito...
At this moment, a large amount of Chakra was poured into it, instantly transforming it into the Mangekyo Sharingan form. Then, he looked at the young man and said to him, "Look into my eyes."
The young man subconsciously raised his head. What he saw was the rapidly spinning Mangekyo Sharingan. His pupils instantly constricted, and he was immediately controlled by genjutsu! The ocular power of the Mangekyo Sharingan had increased to an extremely terrifying level with a simple genjutsu!
Under the influence of genjutsu, he manipulated the Shinigami to use the short blade to slash at the soul orb belonging to the Fourth Hokage! But this abnormal procedure caused the young man to pay a heavy price. His body instantly gushed out a large amount of blood, and all his remaining life force was lost at this moment. Then, with a thud, he collapsed to the ground, becoming a lifeless corpse!
But the Shinigami, under the control of genjutsu, still had to cut a wound on the Fourth Hokage's soul orb, and then...
The portion of Chakra belonging to the Yin Nine-Tails immediately gushed out like a torrent from the Fourth Hokage's body! The Fourth Hokage had sealed the Yin Nine-Tails within himself using the Reaper Death Seal. Therefore, to undo this seal, apart from him actively releasing it, it could only be forcibly separated by the Shinigami.
As soon as the Yin Nine-Tails's Chakra appeared, the two layers of seals around it trembled.
Wujie immediately tapped his staff on the ground. The sealing formation he had arranged in advance instantly flared with light. Before the Yin Nine-Tails's Chakra could materialize and rampage, its power was heavily bound, turning it into a constantly struggling Chakra mass!
