Chapter 740: Orochimaru's Conjecture

In the desert on the border of the Land of Rain, a man wearing a black robe and an orange mask is walking slowly.

“Is this the forest that suddenly appeared?” Obito looked at the huge forest surrounded by desert in front of him, and his right eye revealed a solemn expression.

Tobi, who wrapped his body, said: “Yes, Sunagakure has confirmed that this is a forest made with Wood Release. It’s really spectacular!! Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen such a large forest in the desert.”

“Humph.”

Obito walked into the dense forest with a gloomy look. Although there are Sunagakure’s Shinobi nearby, they couldn't discover him. Of course, even if he was discovered, it wouldn't matter, as he will just kill them.

“The only thing that can create a forest of this scale is the Wood Release of Senju Hashirama, the God of Shinobi! Tobi, what's going on?” Obito asked angrily.

“I don’t know, but my initial guess is that it should be Impure World Reincarnation.”

Tobi said, “The guy Orochimaru has mastered Impure World Reincarnation. As long as he gets Senju Hashirama’s cells, he can make Wood Release reappears in the Shinobi World. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of other people doing so, but Orochimaru is currently the biggest suspect.”

Obito has a grave expression in his eye: “Orochimaru... We can’t let him stay in Akatsuki anymore!”

Orochimaru was originally very ambitious and got the perverted Forbidden Technique, Impure World Reincarnation. Obito believed that if Orochimaru is allowed to stay in Akatsuki, he will definitely use Akatsuki to collect the remains of Shinobi World’s deceased experts, so it’s time to kick him out of Akatsuki!

While observing the surrounding trees, Tobi asked with a smile, “What are you going to do?”

“Does Nagato know the existence of this forest?” Obito asked .

“Of course not.” Tobi answered with a chuckle.

“Very well, then let me tell him this information myself.”

Obito said, “Also, let Zetsu to prepare as well.”

“Understood.”

...

In a closed warehouse in a wet market in Amegakure.

Jiraiya looked out the window at the tall towers looming under the heavy rain. He created a shadow clone with a calm face, and then put the shadow clone in a sealed box.

Then he called to the owner of the warehouse and asked him to deliver the box to the central steel tower.

This is the best way Jiraiya can think of to avoid being hit by the rain and reach the central steel tower safely, and it is also the way he can enter that place safely.

“Impossible!”

Unexpectedly, the owner of the warehouse shook his head decisively after hearing his request and said, “No one is allowed to approach the central tower, let alone me, even Amegakure’s higher-ups can’t do so.”

Jiraiya doesn’t make it difficult for him, and said with a carefree smile: “You don’t need to send it to the central tower. As long as it is nearby, where can you send it to?”

“The nearest place you can send it to... Wait, what's in this box?” The warehouse’s owner asked vigilantly.

In Amegakure, the ‘God’ is real, and he does not dare to do anything against the ‘God’.

Jiraiya smiled and cast Genjutsu on him.

The warehouse’s owner nodded drowsily: “So that’s how it is, no problem, I’ll bring it with me!”

“Thank you very much, boss, but this box can't be exposed to the rain.” Jiraiya happily patted the boss on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry, there isn't much else in our village except for rainproof cloths.”

The owner said as he found some black rainproof cloths, wrapped the box layer by layer, and then called several employees to move the boxes to the carriage, and finally transport it to a hut near the central tower.

The rain was heavy, and the raindrops mixed with Deva Path Pain’s Chakra slapped on the black rainproof cloth outside the box, and finally slipped weakly from both sides.

......

The 22th floor of the central steel tower.

Deva Path Pain stood on the edge and looked down at the village shrouded in rain. Although Jiraiya found a way to avoid the rain, he didn’t panic at all. As long as he guarded the entrance of the tower, let alone Jiraiya, even if the three Sannin gathers together, it is impossible to sneak in silently!

At this moment, a slowly spinning spiral ripple suddenly appeared on the top of the central steel tower.

Deva Path Pain’s eyes suddenly closed.

At the same time, Nagato, who is on the top floor slowly, opened his eyes: “Uchiha Obito...”

Obito, who is dressed in black robes, walked out of the spiral ripples, raised his head slightly, and revealed the orange spiral mask: “Long time no see, Nagato.”

“Why are you here?” Nagato asked expressionlessly.

“How indifferent, I’m your ally.” Obito looked at Nagato, who had a skinny face and sunken eyes, like a fifty-year-old man, with a meaningful look in his eye.

“I don’t want to hear nonsense.” Nagato raised his eyes, and violent pupil power flowing in his eyes.

Obito chuckled and said: “Don’t get too excited. I came here this time to share important information with you.”

“Say it.” Nagato doesn’t want to talk nonsense with Obito.

“It seems that you haven’t received the information yet.”

Obito’s laughter subsided slightly, and his voice gradually became more solemn, “Wood Release has reappeared in the Shinobi World.”

“Wood Release?” The corner of Nagato's mouth cracked in a disdainful arc.

A Shinobi who awakened Wood Release Kekkei Genkai did appear among the Konoha’s Anbu.

“I understand.” Konan nodded.

......

Land of Fire, outside Konoha.

Taki, who came from the underground base under the frozen soil of the Land of Iron, was discovered by White Zetsu’s clone after walking around here for a few laps. With his help, he smoothly met with Orochimaru.

“Taki.”

Orochimaru looked at Taki, and there’s an unpredictable smile in his golden vertical pupils golden, “Now, I'm a little curious about where your true self is.”

Taki frowned: “What do you mean?”

Orochimaru smiled and said nothing.

‘Four days ago, Hyuga Taki’s shadow clone disbanded outside Anbu’s Headquarters. Now, after four days, his shadow clone reappeared in front of me.’

‘In other words, the location of Hyuga Taki’s true body is only four days away from Konoha!’

‘Maybe even shorter!’

‘How much shorter can it be?’

Orochimaru turned to look at Konoha not far away.

Somehow, Orochimaru is now more and more convinced that Abyss is in Konoha!

Although he currently has no evidence to support this conjecture.

“Compared to this, I'm more curious about another thing.” At this time, the head of White Zetsu’s clone came out and he started to speak with a smile.

“What is it?” Taki changed the subject very cooperatively.

“A forest suddenly appeared over the Land of Wind. It was suspected to be created with Wood Release.” White Zetsu’s clone said with a smile.

“Wood Release?”

Orochimaru’s pupils shrank, suddenly remembering what happened a few years ago.

At that time, Orochimaru used Hashirama and Tobirama’s cells to use Impure World Reincarnation, but in the end, he can only succeed in summoning Tobirama with Impure World Reincarnation!

At the time, Orochimaru had two guesses. First, Hashirama was still alive, but the probability was not big.

Second, someone is one step ahead of him and summoned Hashirama with Impure World Reincarnation first, so he could no longer summon him.

“How big is the forest?” Orochimaru asked gloomily.

“It's so big, it's dozens of kilometers vertically and horizontally. It feels bigger than Konoha.” White Zetsu’s clone drilled out of his body and tried his best to open his hands as wide as possible.

Orochimaru squinted his eyes, with bright light glittering in his eyes: ‘It is really Shodaime Hokage. Only his Wood Release can create a forest of this scale!’

‘Who?’

‘Who actually summoned Senju Hashirama with Impure World Reincarnation?!’

Orochimaru looked in the direction of Konoha, where Impure World Reincarnation comes from, ‘But Namikaze Minato is the one in charge of Konoha now. With his character, he will never allow his subordinates to practice Impure World Reincarnation and blaspheme the soul of Shodaime Hokage.’

‘Hyuga Taki?’

‘Zetsu?’

‘These two people are possible, after all, when I use Impure World Reincarnation on Uzumaki Clan’s members, these two people were all present.’

But at that time Orochimaru had concealed the huge rune for Impure World Reincarnation, and Orochimaru knew that there was no way the two of them could master the Impure World Reincarnation through simple hand seals.

‘Therefore, the person who secretly summon Shodaime Hokage with Impure World Reincarnation is most likely a Konoha’s Shinobi!’

At this time, Orochimaru's terrifying conjecture once again appeared in his mind: ‘The Abyss is in Konoha!’

‘Could it be that Abyss’s people stole Impure World Reincarnation from the Forbidden Library, and then summon Shodaime Hokage with Impure World Reincarnation...’

‘Wait, there seems to be something wrong.’

Orochimaru’s brows tightly knit.

A few months ago, when he told Minato that Kanpū had joined Abyss, the other party did not show any surprise, indicating that Minato most likely knew about Kanpū joining Abyss.

Then here comes the problem.

If Abyss is in Konoha and Kanpū also joined the organization, then how could Minato not know that someone in Abyss practiced Impure World Reincarnation?

‘Unless my guess is wrong, otherwise...”

‘There is a problem with Gekko Kanpū!’

Orochimaru’s eyes are overflowing with light, and he stretched out his tongue to lick his face excitedly. He felt that he had made an important discovery.

White Zetsu’s clone next to him was chuckling when looking at him, and thought to himself: ‘Continue pretending, I already know that you are the one summoning Senju Hashirama with Impure World Reincarnation. It’s a pity that I can’t find your true body, otherwise...’

‘Hmph hmph.’

As for Taki, he stands with an innocent smile on his face, pretending he didn’t know anything.
