Before Orochimaru could say anything, that group of Koukis all simultaneously used the Body Flicker Technique and darted towards Orochimaru, instantly surrounding him completely.
"You... wishful thinking!"
Orochimaru snorted angrily. He didn't know which of these Koukis was the real one, and which were clones.
But at this point, all of that was no longer important; Orochimaru suddenly stretched out his hand towards one of the directions.
Immediately, black snakes burst out from his sleeves once again.
"Chidori Current!"
But Kouki didn't give Orochimaru the chance; all of the Koukis attacked together, and a net of lightning instantly landed on Orochimaru's body.
Orochimaru didn't have the same abilities as Hashirama, and was instantly electrocuted and knocked to the ground by Kouki's Chidori Current.
Countless hands simultaneously grabbed Orochimaru, sending him in front of one of the Koukis, and that Kouki's Mangekyou Sharingan turned towards Orochimaru's eyes.
Kotoamatsukami was directly activated.
Orochimaru became dazed for a moment, then immediately returned to normal: "Lord Kouki, what is it that you need me to do?"
Orochimaru's will had been modified by Kouki; now, he had completely become Kouki's loyal subordinate.
"I want you to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki," Kouki told Orochimaru his request.
"I will do my best to help you find those two," Orochimaru immediately replied.
At this time, Kouki moved his mind and released Kimimaro from the Kamui dimension.
Orochimaru glanced at Kimimaro and chuckled: "So it's this little brat! Is he also one of your people, Lord Kouki?"
"That's right; from now on, Kimimaro is no longer a Kirigakure ninja," Kouki nodded, casually instructing Orochimaru, "Take Kimimaro back first; I still have some things to take care of."
"It seems that Lord Kouki values Kimimaro very much," Orochimaru reached out his hand and patted Kimimaro's little head.
"Kimimaro, you'll go back with Orochimaru for the time being, and train with him for now. I'll come see you when I have time,"
Kouki also said to Kimimaro.
Kimimaro nodded, naturally having no objections.
"Alright, Kimimaro, let's go," Orochimaru took Kimimaro's hand and left.
Whoosh!
Kouki also used the Body Flicker Technique, disappearing without a trace.
Not long after, Mei Terumi once again appeared here with a group of Kirigakure ninjas, and they saw the forest that had suddenly appeared on the scene.
They were all stunned.
What was going on?
How did a forest suddenly grow out in the blink of an eye?
It was too bizarre.
They simply couldn't imagine how this could have been done; it was completely shattering their worldview.
…
Kirigakure, in a forest on the edge of the village.
Two figures were walking unhurriedly through the forest; one of them even had a pitcher plant growing on his shoulder, covering his head.
The other figure was a guy wearing a white, strange mask with many swirls stacked together.
They were Black Zetsu, White Zetsu, and Obito Uchiha.
"Obito, have you thought this through? Right now you're Kirigakure's number one wanted criminal, so coming to Kirigakure is a bit risky,"
Black Zetsu said casually as he walked alongside Obito.
Obito's strength was indeed very strong, and the Kamui dōjutsu was also heaven-defying enough, but he was still far from being able to contend with a ninja village on his own.
Even with Yagura on guard, Obito might not be able to beat Yagura.
After all, he was still a Kage who was also a Jinchuriki.
In addition, Kirigakure was their home base, surrounded by water, which provided a great boost to water-style ninjas.
Just like how Rasa in the Land of Wind and Rasa outside the Land of Wind were two different levels, Yagura in Kirigakure and Yagura outside of Kirigakure were also two different levels.
"Kisame Hoshigaki's strength is good, and especially at this time, I need a subordinate like that even more," Obito replied in a deep voice.
He didn't just have Yagura as a puppet in Kirigakure; he also had Kisame Hoshigaki.
The difference was that Yagura was a puppet controlled by Obito using genjutsu, while Kisame was a subordinate who had been brainwashed by Obito using the Eye of the Moon Plan.
After Ao released Yagura from the genjutsu, and Yagura regained his memories, Kisame's identity was exposed.
He was then captured by Kirigakure and locked in the dungeon.
Obito had come to Kirigakure this time to take Kisame with him.
There was no helping it, the Eye of the Moon Plan was simply too grand, and it simply wasn't a plan that Obito could complete on his own; he needed a certain amount of external power.
Although there were many White Zetsu, their strength was so terrible that it was simply appalling; other than Tobi and Black Zetsu, there wasn't a single one who was worth looking at.
They were okay for gathering information, but nothing else could be relied upon.
And Obito couldn't do everything himself, could he?
Kisame Hoshigaki was the first confidant that Obito had truly developed; he wasn't a controlled tool, but someone who truly agreed with the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Obito still valued him very much.
"Obito, you're insisting on taking Kisame away, is it also because of that Uchiha's threat?"
Black Zetsu suddenly recalled something, and spoke up from the side again.
At the same time, the figure that had bloodily abused Obito in Amegakure involuntarily appeared in Black Zetsu's mind.
Obito's voice immediately became a bit annoyed: "Although that person is powerful, I don't really care about him; when we really start fighting, who wins and who loses is still uncertain!"
How could Obito admit that the threat of Uchiha Kouki actually accounted for a large part of the reason why he was so eager to take Kisame away?
Black Zetsu didn't expose Obito, but just said again: "According to the information, Kisame is locked up in the Anbu's dungeon, and right now someone is assassinating Yagura; it's a great opportunity, Obito."
