The remaining fire sword of Konoha

In a dark room, four people wearing black and red cloud trench coats were talking.

The four people talking were Obito, Zetsu, Xiaonan, and Nagato. These four people are also the real core members of the Akatsuki organization.

Since Yahiko's death, the Akatsuki organization has been completely reorganized. Not only has the members' uniforms been changed, but the entire organization's program has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

At this time, Nagato was not present in his true form, but was attending as Payne after transforming Yahiko's corpse into Tendo Payne.

Due to being ambushed by Hanzo and Danzo in the Rain Ninja Village, Nagato's legs were disabled. Moreover, due to excessive chakra overdraft caused by summoning the outside demon, Nagato now needs to rely on special equipment to stay alive. He has almost lost his ability to move, and all his actions outside rely on the manipulation of Pain's Six Paths.

Although Obito can use Hashirama cells and White Zetsu's tissues to repair Nagato's legs and restore lost vitality, this will also bring Nagato's strength back to its peak or even further, which is not conducive to his control, so Obito Earth did not do this.

"How is the recruitment of members going?" asked Obito, who was wearing a red swirl mask. Obito is still doing things in Madara's name, so Nagato and Konan always think that the masked person in front of them is Uchiha Madara.

"We have found several good players now. The rebel ninja Kakuzu from Takigakure Village, the rebel ninja Loquat Juzo from Kirigakure Village, and the newly recruited Red Sand Scorpion." Xiaonan said expressionlessly.

Since Yahiko's death, Konan's personality has completely changed. She used to be very gentle to everyone, but now she has become cold and cold, always with a cold expression, as if she has lost her emotions.

Hearing Xiaonan's words, Obito frowned slightly under the mask: "The progress is a bit slow. This manpower is far from enough. We need to gather at least ten full members."

"We also hope to have suitable candidates as soon as possible to promote the organization's plan, but there are not many masters outside the various ninja villages. You provided the information on the previous members. I wonder if you have any new candidates here? "At this time, Pain asked Obito in a cold voice.

In the Akatsuki organization's plan, in addition to collecting the nine tailed beasts, it also needs to gather a large amount of funds before doing so, which requires sufficient manpower to prepare. Now Payne is arranging for members to accept high-value bounty tasks on the market to raise funds.

"Some time ago, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, defected. Recently, we also discovered his hiding place. Orochimaru is unpredictable, and we are worried that there will be some risks in finding him. But since you are the leader , it's up to you to decide whether to recruit him into the organization." Hei Jue said on the side.

"Orochimaru is not an easy person to deal with. He should be the strongest among the three ninjas at the moment." Obito added.

Payne disagreed with Zetsu and Obito's words and said coldly: "Under these eyes of samsara, Orochimaru can't make any trouble."

"Give me the information about his location, and I will personally take Scorpion there. If Orochimaru agrees to join, I will arrange for him to be Scorpion's partner; if he doesn't agree, I will take care of him."

A few days later, in a gloomy underground cave, Orochimaru had just sealed the one-tailed Shukaku Yindun Chakra into the 'Ryogi Seal' in his body.

"It's perfect. At this moment, I feel more powerful than ever before." Orochimaru's pale face showed excitement.

If there are people who are familiar with Orochimaru at this time, they will find that Orochimaru's height is a bit shorter than before. The reason for this phenomenon is that Orochimaru has successfully completed his first 'Undead Reincarnation'!

In order to seal Shukaku Ichibi's Yin escape chakra in a new body after reincarnation, Orochimaru did not start the sealing immediately after getting Shukaku, but delayed the sealing until now.

Because of the existence of Yusuke, an academic friend, Orochimaru's technical ability has been greatly improved compared to the original work. The technique of 'Undead Reincarnation' that was supposed to come out in a few years was not only completed ahead of schedule, but also found the 'Two Forms Curse Seal', a method that could temporarily make up for the huge flaw of weakened spiritual power after reincarnation.

Orochimaru became embarrassed when he saw Shukaku, who had shrunk by half in size, with only the Yang Era chakra left in front of him.

At present, he does not have a suitable container that can seal Shukaku. If Shukaku is sealed in the bodies of other ninjas in the form of a jinchuriki, not only does it require a suitable ninja's physique, but also the corresponding sealing technique.

The sealing technique of sealing Shukaku in the ninja body to create a jinchuriki is currently only studied in Sunagakure Village, and Orochimaru does not have enough conditions to create a jinchuriki.

Orochimaru had to take care of Shukaku himself, and Shukaku had a bad temper and was too talkative, which made Orochimaru tire of it; and letting Shukaku go was really a waste.

Therefore, the remaining half of Shukaku became completely useless in the hands of Orochimaru.

After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru decided to kill half of the Shukaku directly. Although it was a pity, he didn't have the extra energy to take care of this Shukaku now.

Of course, even if Shukaku is killed by Orochimaru, he will not really die and will still be resurrected in the Nara Desert soon.

"I wonder if Yusuke-kun has found the material for the 'Reverse Two-Year Seal' that can seal the Yang escape chakra."

Orochimaru couldn't help but think of Yusuke. If he could complete the 'Reverse Ryogi Seal' now, the other half of Shukaku's Yang Release chakra would not be wasted like this.

When Yusuke first proposed the 'Ryōgi Seal', he relied on the extremely powerful Yang Escape Seal Yin Escape Chakra of Hashirama's cells to achieve the effect of using Yang to control Yin, forming the Ryogi Seal.

The principle of the 'Reverse·Liangyi Curse Seal' is exactly the same as the Liangyi Curse Seal. With the help of some kind of material containing powerful yin escape power, the yin is used to control the yang to form a curse seal, so that a massive amount of yang escape chakra can be sealed.

"The Sharingan should be used as a seal material representing the power of escape, but the ordinary Sharingan is definitely not enough. At least it must be the special Sharingan that Uchiha Shisui used when he fought Yusuke-kun before. Eye."

"But it's such a pity that a pair of eyes like that can be used as material for a curse seal."

"The gain is not worth the loss, the gain is not worth the loss!"

Temporarily putting aside the idea of ​​the 'Reverse·Ryogi Curse Seal', Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent, and he slowly walked towards Shukaku.

At this moment, two people wearing black and red cloud windbreakers were approaching the cave where Orochimaru was.

"It looks like this is it." Looking at the entrance-like cave in front of him, Xie said slowly. At this time, Xie was hidden in his puppet Fei Liuhu. The entire puppet's body was lying on the ground, and its voice had been specially processed to make it very hoarse.

"It seems so. We didn't hide our tracks. Orochimaru must have discovered us," Payne said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru slowly walked out of the cave.

Orochimaru had just strangled Shukaku, who had only Yang Eun Chakra left, when he discovered the arrival of Pain and Scorpion.

As if sensing that the visitor was unkind, Orochimaru took the initiative to come to the entrance of the cave to greet him. He also wanted to try out what kind of power his body could exert after he had just been reincarnated and planted the 'Two-Year Curse Seal'.

In the original work, Orochimaru joined the Akatsuki organization relatively late, and Kabuto was working undercover under Scorpion. Therefore, when the Akatsuki organization came to visit, Orochimaru already knew a lot of inside information about the Akatsuki organization.

But now Kabuto has been abducted by Yusuke, and the Akatsuki organization has noticed Orochimaru earlier, so Orochimaru is still very unfamiliar with the Akatsuki organization at this stage.

Looking at the Tendo Pain in front of him, Orochimaru did not recognize that this was one of the three orphans he had met in the Rain Ninja Village with Jiraiya and Tsunade.

For him, he had seen too many such war orphans and didn't take them to heart. At this time, all his attention was focused on Payne's pair of rippled reincarnation eyes.

"These eyes are a very special kind of pupil technique and blood inheritance limit!" Orochimaru stretched out his tongue like a snake letter and licked his lips, thinking secretly in his heart.

Although he saw the unusual eyes of Tendo Payne at a glance, Orochimaru did not recognize that these were the legendary Rinnegan Eyes.

But instinctively, he felt that the pair of eyes in front of him was very powerful. When being stared at by these eyes, Orochimaru felt as if he was a prey with no escape, being firmly targeted by the hunter!

"Orochimaru, long time no see." At this time, Scorpion next to Payne took the initiative to say hello to Orochimaru.

Turning his gaze from Pain to Hiru Koh, Orochimaru frowned and observed carefully, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Are you the Red Sand Scorpion?"

Orochimaru once met Scorpion. At that time, Scorpion had not yet joined the Akatsuki organization, and he had not hidden his body in the puppet Fei Liuhu.

However, with Orochimaru's eyesight, he still found some clues through this puppet, but he was not completely sure.

"Not bad." Scorpion replied.

Orochimaru's signature sinister smile slowly emerged: "I don't know what the purpose of Scorpio is for you to come to visit me dressed so inexplicably?"

Xie snorted coldly: "To put it bluntly, it's baffling. You'd better take a good look at yourself. Zhi Lian Rope doesn't suit you at all!"

Hearing Scorpion's words, Orochimaru's smile froze, and he couldn't help but think of the night before when he and Yusuke traded Shukaku, and Yusuke had suggested that he change his clothes.

"Is this outfit really not good enough?" Orochimaru couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

At this time, Orochimaru was still wearing his signature clothes, with a hemp rope around his waist and a big bow tied behind his back. This hemp rope is called shurien rope in Japan.

Payne snorted coldly: "That's enough, Scorpion, don't talk about these insignificant things, talk about business." He didn't expect that Scorpion and Orochimaru's conversation would become more and more biased, and it would actually get involved in dressing style.

For the powerful Payne, Xie still maintained a certain degree of awe. He said to Orochimaru: "Our organization is recruiting some powerful ninjas as members, and your strength has met the requirements."

"Now you have two choices before you, join or die!"
