Chapter 97 - Chapter 97 Orochimaru's Brainstorm (1)

"Hehehehe. Uzumaki Naruto, you really know a lot. It seems the other soul inside you must be Kushina Uzumaki, right?"

At this moment, Orochimaru had figured everything out.

Why did Uzumaki Naruto know so much? He knew the secret Ninjutsu of the Uzumaki Clan, he knew about the Shinigami Mask, he could set up strange traps, and he could use strange chains.

Orochimaru had figured out all of this.

The answer was that the other soul inside Naruto was a member of the Uzumaki Clan.

Golden hair, surname Uzumaki, with the Nine-Tailed inside him.

Wanting the Fourth Hokage's body tissue and soul.

After connecting all the clues, Orochimaru had figured out Uzumaki Naruto's identity and everything else.

Uzumaki Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage and the previous Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki.

It was likely that the other soul inside Uzumaki Naruto was Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki was proficient in Adamantine Sealing Chains and was an expert with chains, so it was normal for her to know other chain-type Ninjutsu.

After figuring everything out, Orochimaru asked with some confusion.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you should know, right? Do you know who your father is?"

Naruto nodded upon hearing this.

"You want to rescue the Fourth Hokage's soul, you don't mean you have a way to revive him, do you?"

"Hehehe, as expected of Orochimaru, you guessed correctly."

Upon hearing Naruto's affirmative answer, Orochimaru was instantly shocked.

Although Orochimaru understood the Edo Tensei developed by the Second Hokage, he had used it before and knew it was a Ninjutsu for revival.

But, looking at Naruto now, Orochimaru believed that his so-called revival was definitely not as simple as Edo Tensei.

"If that's the case, why don't you revive your mother, Kushina Uzumaki?"

Hearing Orochimaru's question, Naruto also felt a bit helpless.

How could he not want to revive her, but he couldn't do it for now.

He could revive Minato Namikaze because Minato Namikaze's soul had no vessel; he just needed to clone a new body using his cells.

But if he wanted to revive Kushina Uzumaki, the first step would be to Edo Tensei her, and then to pull her soul out of the Edo Tensei.

However, Naruto couldn't do this second step because he didn't have any skills or abilities related to souls.

Ultimately, he would still need to possess the Rinnegan to do it.

Naturally, Naruto didn't tell Orochimaru that much.

"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, give me a way to contact you, and I'll contact you when the mask arrives!"

Orochimaru chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "Aren't you afraid I'll run away? It's not difficult for me to deal with the chains you planted in my body!"

"Moreover, according to my deduction, these chains are a type of agreement; as long as I don't violate the agreement, the chains won't harm me!"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Naruto also nodded, "I believe you can do it."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Living Corpse Reincarnation Ninjutsu, right?"

Hearing Naruto directly expose his secret, Orochimaru's smiling expression instantly stiffened.

Seeing Orochimaru's stiff expression, Naruto thought to himself, "You're trying to scheme in front of someone who has a script and a think tank behind him. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Indeed, while Naruto was communicating with Orochimaru, everyone in the Sealing Space was discussing how to trick Orochimaru.

Undeniably, Orochimaru was one of the most difficult people to deal with in the entire Ninja World.

It wasn't that he was incredibly strong, but because he had both strength and intelligence, and he could adapt, endure, act, and survive.

To trick such a person, even with Naruto's two lifetimes of memories, it would probably be tough.

But, don't forget, he also had a think tank.

Zephyr, who had been an Admiral, and could become an Admiral and train many Marine high-ranking officers, his wisdom was definitely not low.

Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, although he was the shortest-serving Hokage, he was still the Hokage of a village, and the Hokage of the most intricate Konoha, dealing with the old geezers of Konoha's high command in schemes every day, his wisdom would not be low either.

Kurapika, though young, was considered the calm and intelligent one in Hunter x Hunter.

Grey Wolf, while not skilled in schemes or tricks, could realize his various absurd ideas with equally absurd inventions.

Kushina Uzumaki and the Nine-Tailed, as the saying goes, 'three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang'; the two of them together were two-thirds of Zhuge Liang.

With the think tank's various strategies, Orochimaru was now in a brainstorm.

At first, Naruto revealed some information that Orochimaru knew but ordinary people wouldn't.

This alone directly misled Orochimaru, making him believe that Naruto's other personality was actually Kushina Uzumaki's soul.

Then he mentioned Living Corpse Reincarnation, which was Orochimaru's unique Ninjutsu, making Orochimaru even more confused.

Mentioning Living Corpse Reincarnation was also to let Orochimaru know that "he knew a lot of things!"

Finally, it meant he could complete an equivalent exchange with Orochimaru.

After hearing Naruto say Living Corpse Reincarnation, Orochimaru fell silent. He kept wondering how Naruto knew about Living Corpse Reincarnation, whether there was a traitor among his subordinates, and so on.

Seeing Orochimaru remain silent, Naruto smiled and said, "Orochimaru, I know you can easily resolve the chains inside your body, but if you do, you will lose a piece of information!"

Hearing Naruto's words, Orochimaru, who was deep in thought, immediately looked at him.

"Hmm? What information?"

Orochimaru was very interested in the information Naruto mentioned.

"Information about the truth of the Ninja World, or rather, information about where the existence of Ninja came from!"

"Saying Ninja isn't quite right, after all, some samurai also use Chakra. To be precise, it's information about where Chakra came from!"

Naruto's words immediately struck Orochimaru's heart.

Was the information Naruto spoke of important? Actually, for many people, it wasn't.

For many Ninja, where Chakra came from wasn't important; how to strengthen their own Chakra was the most important thing.

But, Orochimaru, who pursued truth and reality, didn't think that way. If he didn't know the origin of Chakra, didn't know the essence of Chakra, how could he make his own Chakra stronger?

Therefore, Naruto's information was very tempting to him.

"Is that so? Alright, I can help you, and I'll genuinely help you. If you want to revive Kushina, I can also use Edo Tensei to help you revive her!"

Orochimaru truly wanted to cooperate with Naruto now.

Naruto knew too many things. Although he didn't know where Naruto learned all these things, it didn't hinder his cooperation with Naruto.

At worst, he could just terminate the cooperation after he had squeezed Naruto dry!

Betraying collaborators was something Orochimaru did often, with nothing to feel guilty about, even if the other party was a six or seven-year-old child!
