A small soul experiment...
These words sound quite strange, especially when paired with the greed shimmering in Orochimaru's eyes, making it even more chilling.
Before Aomi stepped into this barracks, Orochimaru was still a diligent commander, analyzing war maps late into the night, and a hard-working deputy head of research, dedicated to the Root...
But upon learning about the situation inside Aomi, Orochimaru suddenly lost interest in his current work.
It lost all meaning...
Although learning new Kinjutsu in the Root and fighting a war with technology as the main element intrigued Orochimaru, this goal-oriented man never forgot his ultimate desire—
To intercept Senju Tobirama's ultimate Kinjutsu and obtain Aomi's body which could reach immortality!
Why else was Orochimaru working so hard, if not to get Aomi to give him an opportunity alone?
But plans never keep up with changes; Orochimaru did not expect Senju Tobirama to act so quickly, but thankfully, he was always prepared!
During his time settled in the Root, Orochimaru used Aomi's research notes and Kinjutsu to perfect many of his Ninjutsu, including the "Immortal Rebirth Jutsu" that allows possession of others...
"I wanted to devour Aomi's maddeningly fascinating body in a meticulously prepared setting on a memorable sunny afternoon, but alas, time waits for no one..."
Orochimaru stared at Aomi's pondering expression, his body silently scaling over time, the carapace quietly secreting an imperceptible paralyzing aura, while his Chakra was mobilizing in a bizarre manner.
Aomi looked at Orochimaru, a blue-purple light flashed in his eyes, quietly awaiting Orochimaru's performance.
[Eye of the Door Snake]: You possess a strong ability to see through, learn, and copy Ninjutsu, Secret Techniques, and non-organ type Kekkeigenkai!
Orochimaru's Secret Techniques might be tricky, but in Aomi's eyes, their secrets were exposed.
"First, use a special snake venom released from the body to suppress the opponent's Chakra, causing a weakening effect, and then bind one's own soul and Chakra together with a Jutsu, increasing strength, it's a formidable Jutsu..."
Aomi couldn't help but be amazed by Orochimaru's conception.
His new possession Jutsu focuses on the soul...
Unless a ninja masters Spirit Transformation Jutsu or other special training methods, the soul's strength is innate and hardly trainable thereafter.
However, Orochimaru's Immortal Rebirth Jutsu enhances one's soul by peculiar means, so in the tug-of-war of souls during possession, only soul strength matters, unrelated to other aspects.
This extreme approach is like Namikaze Minato's combat style; as long as speed surpasses others, even if single attack power is insufficient, he inherently stands invincible.
Orochimaru's Jutsu is the same; as long as the enemy's soul strength is lower than his, he can disregard physique, Jutsu, combat experience, and directly one-shot!
As Orochimaru's snake venom filled the entire barrack, his somewhat anxious mind also relaxed, this first step was already under his control.
Nonetheless, out of respect for Aomi's prowess, Orochimaru still feignedly asked, further awaiting the snake venom's effect.
"So, Aomi-kun, do you agree?"
"Orochimaru, I agree, but have you really considered it carefully?" Aomi scrutinized Orochimaru's confident smile, asking softly.
Compared to Orochimaru who tried to possess Sasuke in the original timeline, he was indeed better prepared now.
Not restricted by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal on his hands, nor had he undergone repeated Immortal Rebirth causing soul instability, after further refining the Immortal Rebirth Jutsu, Orochimaru indeed had reasons for his confidence.
To Aomi's view, in Orochimaru's current state, even a regular three Tomoe Uchiha couldn't escape his possession...
Though entering his body, there might be some surprise.
There are quite a few tenants inside...
"Aomi, I've certainly thought it through, you needn't worry..."
Orochimaru's eyes flickered: "I mean you no harm, merely wish to help you solve problems, and obtain some research data along the way."
Aomi nodded noncommittally: "Then, the Root's head of research, please feel free to execute."
As soon as the words fell.
Orochimaru suddenly turned into a fierce Giant White Snake, the purple poisonous fog unreservedly enveloping Aomi, with an extremely strong allure in his voice:
"Look at me, Aomi!"
Aomi lifted his eyes, meeting Orochimaru's gaze.
In the next instant, the Giant White Snake exploded on the spot, transforming into a mud-like soul body, rushing into Aomi's body!
Aomi's eyes didn't even move; when Orochimaru revealed his obvious attacking intent, he didn't even use Dojutsu.
"I've been stalling Aomi for quite some time, the snake venom has thoroughly invaded his body, his Chakra and soul are in a weakened state, it's the perfect time for me to seize and possess in one go!"
Orochimaru laughed wildly in his heart: "Thank you, my most esteemed Second Hokage-sama! Without your help, Aomi wouldn't have given up resistance out of self-destruction..."
"But all of this, shall be mine!"
