Uchiha's Maniacal Laughter

Seeing the farce between the two end, Orochimaru walked over with Yakushi Kabuto, revealing a sinister smile as he said, "Izayoi-kun, Sasuke, are you satisfied with this surgery?"

Judging from Orochimaru's appearance, he didn't seem to be afraid that Izayoi would go back on his word and kick him away after using him.

Perhaps he had a backup plan for resurrection, or perhaps he knew he couldn't resist Izayoi, so he bet that Izayoi was a man of his word.

"Not bad, professional matters should indeed be left to professionals." Izayoi nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "The surgery is done, so now it's time to fulfill the deal."

"Deal?"

Orochimaru was slightly stunned, almost blurting out, wasn't the surgery just now a deal?

Immediately, Orochimaru seemed to remember something, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

He remembered, Izayoi's previous words, helping Sasuke Uchiha with the surgery was later, the first thing was that he wanted something from him.

Because of the Hashirama Cell, he subconsciously ignored the previous words.

At this time, Izayoi also tilted his head to look at Orochimaru, righteously saying, "The surgery is just a return gift for the meeting! Orochimaru, you don't think that just a surgery can offset the White Zetsu Clones and the information about the Death God Mask, right?"

"Hehe... then what does Izayoi-kun want?" Orochimaru forced a smile, cursing inwardly, as expected, he is an extremely scheming brat, setting traps in his words from the beginning.

To want something, and to want what thing, are completely different meanings.

After agreeing to help with the surgery, Orochimaru was equal to agreeing to this deal.

Now Izayoi can completely ask for the sky.

If he doesn't give it, then there is an excuse to turn hostile.

If he gives it, what if the other party wants his most important thing, how should he choose?

At this moment, Orochimaru was once again in a passive position.

If he had known in advance that Izayoi would come here, he would have let Yakushi Kabuto leave with the important things long ago.

At that time, Yakushi Kabuto only needs to find an opportunity to resurrect him.

But now, knowing about the Death God Mask and obtaining the White Zetsu Clones, such a perfect container, Orochimaru doesn't want to die.

No matter how excessive Izayoi's next request is, Orochimaru can only grit his teeth and accept it.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru suddenly woke up.

This brat isn't doing it on purpose, is he?!

First, use the information of the White Zetsu Clones and the Death God Mask to lure him in, and then use this psychology to control him.

Could it be that the Death God Mask is in his hands?

Orochimaru's breathing suddenly became disordered, appearing somewhat rapid.

Of course, Izayoi didn't know that Orochimaru had started to imagine things again.

He was also very direct and said, "I want the Summoning Scroll of Ryuchi Cave, so that Sasuke can sign a contract with Ryuchi Cave."

"Ryuchi Cave?"

Orochimaru didn't expect that what Izayoi wanted was actually the Summoning Scroll.

Looking at Sasuke Uchiha next to Izayoi, Orochimaru's eyes became fervent once more.

If he could get Sasuke Uchiha to sign a contract with Ryuchi Cave, would he have the chance to plant a Cursed Seal on his neck in the future?

However, sensing Sasuke Uchiha's current aura, Orochimaru immediately dismissed the thought.

Unless he retrieved the souls of his hands, he was no match for Sasuke Uchiha in his current state.

Thus, Orochimaru also played a little trick, smiling and saying, "I thought Izayoi-kun wanted the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but I didn't expect it was just the Summoning Scroll of Ryuchi Cave. This is just a small matter, but..."

Pausing slightly, Orochimaru looked at his hands with a troubled expression, "The souls of my hands have already been taken by the Third Hokage, who summoned the Death God. I can't use the Summoning Technique to summon the Ryuchi Cave Summoning Scroll at all. If Izayoi-kun can help me find the Death God Mask, then the Ryuchi Cave scroll will be at your disposal."

After saying that, Orochimaru saw Izayoi's ambiguous expression and felt a sudden unease.

Sure enough, Izayoi looked at Yakushi Kabuto and said, "If Orochimaru-sama can't form hand seals, then let Kabuto-senpai do it. Isn't that what you Three Ninja did when you held a reunion in Tanzaku Street?"

"Hehe... as expected, I can't fool you, Izayoi-kun."

Seeing that Izayoi even knew this, Orochimaru stopped being mysterious and said, "Izayoi-kun, the Death God Mask is in your hands, isn't it! What price do I need to pay for you to give it to me?"

"Why is Orochimaru-sama so sure that the Death God Mask is in my hands?" Izayoi asked with a playful smile.

Seeing Izayoi's smile, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I wasn't sure just now, but now I am. After all... Izayoi-kun, you are too steady. In terms of intellect and calculation, I think even the Nara Clan is far inferior to you."

"Thank you for the compliment, Orochimaru-sama, you are also quite impressive, guessing that the item is in my hands so quickly."

Looking at the ecstatic Orochimaru, Izayoi, engaging in mutual flattery, stated his condition, "Want the Death God Mask? No problem, as long as you help Sasuke master the Sage Jutsu of Ryuchi Cave, I will give it to you."

Sasuke Uchiha, who was watching the show from the side, stared blankly at Izayoi.

Although he didn't know what Sage Jutsu was, exchanging it for something that could break the Forbidden Technique used by the Third Hokage at the cost of his life must be something extremely precious.

This kind of thing might even be a foundation-level treasure for Konoha.

And now, Izayoi was actually using this level of treasure to exchange for greater power for him.

At this moment, a warm current suddenly surged in Sasuke Uchiha's heart, and he felt his eyes getting a little wet.

It seemed that recognizing a Foster Father wasn't so bad after all.

Orochimaru looked at Izayoi with a surprised expression, "You even know about Sage Jutsu?"

"If Orochimaru-sama had my abilities, I believe you would know even more," Izayoi said with a faint smile.

"That's true..."

Thinking of the Uzumaki Clan's Kagura Mind's Eye and the First Hokage's Wood Release, Orochimaru slightly understood.

Immediately, he nodded very readily, "No problem, I can introduce Sasuke-kun to the White Snake Sage and help him learn the Sage Jutsu of Ryuchi Cave."

"Then take out the Summoning Scroll."

"Kabuto..."

Orochimaru looked at Yakushi Kabuto, who immediately understood, formed hand seals with Orochimaru's blood, squatted down, and slammed his hand on the ground, "*Summoning Technique!*"

With a *boom*, the white mist dissipated.

A White Snake the size of an adult appeared out of thin air.

The White Snake seemed to be carrying some mission. As soon as it appeared, it consciously opened its mouth wide and spat out a huge scroll.

On the seal of the scroll, the words Ryuchi Cave were clearly written.

Izayoi patted Sasuke Uchiha's shoulder and said, "Go, sign your name on it with your blood."

"Okay."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded, then walked over, opened the Summoning Scroll, bit his finger, and wrote his name on the blank scroll.

"Then... happy cooperation, Orochimaru-sama."

"Hehe... happy cooperation, Sasuke-kun. Whenever you are ready to learn Sage Techniques, just notify me through the snakes of Ryuchi Cave." Orochimaru's tone seemed a little eager.

It seemed that he had had enough of the pain of losing his hands.

Just like not letting a smoker smoke, for a scientist and a Kage-level powerhouse, losing his hands and being unable to use Ninjutsu was more uncomfortable than killing him.

In addition, Orochimaru now had too many enemies.

The Akatsuki, which was full of S-Rank Missing-nin, and the two major Ninja Villages of Konoha and Sunagakure.

If Izayoi hadn't come to make a deal, he would already be dead.

Now that Izayoi knew his location, the people from Konoha must have also cracked the seals of the Sound Four and Kimimaro, and read the memories from their brains.

Maybe the ninja squad had already set off for the Land of Rice Fields, and he had to move his position as soon as possible.

"Since the transaction has been completed, then we won't disturb you any further, Orochimaru-sama."

"I am looking forward to our next meeting, Izayoi-kun."

"Hehe, me too."

After Sasuke Uchiha signed the contract with Ryuchi Cave, Izayoi exchanged a few polite words with Orochimaru, and then prepared to leave.

Before he had taken a few steps, Izayoi seemed to have remembered something, and couldn't help but stop and turn to Orochimaru and asked, "Orochimaru-sama, do you have two Kusanagi Swords in your hands? Would you like to transfer the other one to me?"

"Izayoi-kun... your information is really well-informed." Orochimaru said quietly, his eyes filled with deep fear.

He indeed had two Kusanagi Swords on him, and was searching the world for the third Kusanagi Sword, but this was something that even Yakushi Kabuto didn't know.

What was going on with this kid? How was he even more evil than him!

However, Orochimaru still opened his mouth wide and spat out a scroll covered in mucus, and said to Izayoi, "This Kusanagi Sword is for you, Izayoi-kun."

"Sasuke, go pick it up." Izayoi said to Sasuke Uchiha.

"Me?"

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the sealing scroll full of mucus, and an expression of disgust subconsciously appeared on his face.

"Nonsense, this is also for you." Izayoi rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "The things that can be collected by Orochimaru-sama are all good treasures. Haven't you heard of the legend of the Kusanagi Sword?"

"Hehe... Izayoi-kun really knows his stuff."

Orochimaru, who was flattered, also smiled and said, "There are three Kusanagi Swords in total, each with its own abilities. The strongest one belongs to the Totsuka Sword, which can not only change its form, but also permanently seal the person who is stabbed by it into a dreamlike Genjutsu space. Over the years, I have been searching for the whereabouts of the Totsuka Sword, but unfortunately I have not found it until now."

Speaking of the end, Orochimaru's tone was full of regret.

Hearing about such a magical weapon, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up. He didn't mind the mucus on the Sealing Scroll and quickly picked it up and wiped it dry.

"We'll be leaving now, Lord Orochimaru." Izayoi waved his hand, friendly reminding, "Oh right, I suggest you relocate quickly. The location of this base has already been extracted by the Interrogation Department."

"Thank you for the reminder, Izayoi-kun."

The polite pair chatted very happily, like old friends.

This transaction was fruitful for both sides.

Sasuke Uchiha completed his heaven-defying change, his strength soared, and his drop rate increased.

Once he learns the Super Hurricane Combination Sphere and Ryuchi Cave Sage Techniques, he will immediately become a top powerhouse in the Shinobi World.

At that time, the drop rate will soar again.

Before the Tenseigan completes its final evolution, unlocking Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Izayoi has a good chance of dropping Sage Eye (Red) again.

And Orochimaru also obtained White Zetsu Clones and the hope of breaking the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

Everyone is a winner.

...

Half a month later, Naka River.

"Hahaha..."

Thick branches grew from the riverbank, connecting to the opposite shore like an arch bridge.

Sasuke Uchiha stood on the branch, laughing triumphantly, looking down at Hinata and Karin standing on the river surface below, his face full of arrogance, "Is that all you've got? Come at me! I'm just warming up."

Looking at the inflated Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata and Karin, who were being mocked, had black lines all over their faces, then looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Eight Trigrams: Empty Wall Palm!"

Hinata made a Tai Chi-like gesture, then pushed out with both palms. The huge Chakra transformed into a shock wave far more powerful than Eight Trigrams: Air Palm, blasting towards Sasuke Uchiha on the branch.

"Too slow!" Sasuke Uchiha sneered, the three tomoe in his eyes spinning.

Then, with just a leap, he easily dodged the attack of Eight Trigrams: Empty Wall Palm.

His body flipped twice in the air, and Sasuke Uchiha had already completed the hand seals, spitting out a wisp of flame towards the bottom: "Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!"

The flame instantly grew larger, turning into a raging fire, like a meteorite falling.

"Water Release: Water Surge!"

Karin put her hands together, and the Naka River under her feet immediately rolled up a large amount of water, forming a waterspout that soared into the sky, colliding with the meteorite-shaped fireball.

A sizzling sound rang out, and white water vapor spread like mist.

"Not good!"

Sasuke Uchiha, who had inflated too much, instantly realized what a stupid thing he had done, and his expression changed drastically.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The sound of breaking through the air entered his ears, and Sasuke Uchiha saw a barrage of blue Chakra appearing in the thick fog.

He hurriedly drew the Kusanagi Sword from his waist, quickly infused it with Lightning Release Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation, and swung the sword at an extremely fast speed to block the violently shooting Chakra.

It turned out that those Chakra were water needles.

Whoosh—

Just as he blocked the Water Release: Heavenly Weeping, another sound of air being torn apart entered Sasuke Uchiha's ears from the left.

Seeing Hinata, who was obviously stepping on the mountain wall and shooting over, Sasuke Uchiha quickly reached out and shouted, "Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!"

His arm transformed into multiple wooden vines, like octopus tentacles, or like a swarm of snakes emerging from their cage, and lashed out towards the flying Hinata.

However, Hinata only let out a delicate shout and punched the incoming wooden vines.

A huge amount of Chakra erupted, instantly blasting the generally tough wooden vines into a sky full of fragments.

The shockwave even blasted Sasuke Uchiha to the ground on the opposite bank from a distance.

Sasuke Uchiha, who was not harmed in any way, had just stood firm when a teasing voice came from behind him.

"Nanda... is that all you've got, Sasuke-kun~~"

A hand pressed against Sasuke Uchiha's back, and tadpole-shaped Cursed Seals immediately spread out.

The battle is over!
