The remaining fire sword of Konoha

Facing dozens of white snakes rushing toward him, Payne did not panic. His left hand holding the black stick stabbed forward quickly and continuously, each time stabbing the bodies of these white snakes.

"impossible!"

These big white snakes made the sound of Orochimaru from their mouths. After being hit by Payne, they curled up together and regrouped into Orochimaru.

However, Orochimaru looked very embarrassed at this time. Not only was he held up in the air by Payne's right hand, but there were also several holes bleeding from his body. These holes were obviously just dug out by Payne with a black stick.

At this moment, Pain's hand holding Orochimaru began to freeze. Pain frowned and threw Orochimaru's body away.

Orochimaru flipped several somersaults in the air, and finally stabilized his body and stopped.

Looking at the black stick in Pain's left hand, Orochimaru asked gloomily: "What kind of weapon is this? It can actually hit my genjutsu clone."

Payne did not answer Orochimaru, but looked at him calmly and said: "Tell me your choice, join or die."

The black stick in Payne's hand is a substance created by using the power of the Samsara Eye and combining it with the Yin and Yang Escape.

This substance can harm the genjutsu body composed of Yin Escape Chakra. It can not only be used as a weapon, but more importantly, it can be used as a chakra sensor for the Six Paths of Pain. It is the key to Nagato's control of the Six Paths of Pain. But naturally, Payne would not explain all this to Orochimaru.

After hearing Pain's words, Orochimaru fell silent.

Although he was very confident in his own strength, and the power in the curse seal had not yet been used, Orochimaru clearly felt that the enemy in front of him was completely different from his previous opponents!

This man with extraordinary pupil skills and blood inheritance limits seems to have reached a higher level among ninjas.

After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru's expression changed from gloomy to playful. Licking his tongue, Orochimaru asked with interest: "It's not impossible to join, but I have to know what the purpose of your organization is."

Whether he joins this organization or looks for an opportunity to escape, Orochimaru must at least understand the purpose of the other organization first.

"Collect all the tailed beasts and rule the ninja world with absolute power!" Pain said calmly. His tone was very normal, as if this was a very simple thing that could be done naturally.

"Interesting, interesting!" Orochimaru laughed.

After laughing for about ten seconds, Orochimaru stopped, looked at Payne and said slowly: "I'm joining!"

Hearing that Pain's purpose is to rule the ninja world by collecting all the tailed beasts, Orochimaru feels that this is a rare opportunity for him as well.

His current 'Ryogi Seal' has only sealed the Yin Escape Chakra of one Shukaku, and he also wants to use the power of this organization to seize the power of more tailed beasts.

For the Ichibi Shukaku who had just been strangled, Orochimaru not only did not feel pity at this time, but was actually very happy. If Shukaku is discovered by the opponent, not only will he be taken away by the opponent, but it will also be revealed that he is also collecting tailed beasts.

To be on the safe side, Orochimaru also decided not to use the Ryogi Seal easily in front of members of the Akatsuki organization, lest they discover any clues.

Seeing that Orochimaru agreed to join the organization, Payne put away the black stick and threw something to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru took it and opened his palm to see a ring with the word 'empty' engraved on it.

"With this ring, you will be a formal member of the Akatsuki organization. From now on, your partner will be Scorpion."

Yusuke on the other side is still unaware that Orochimaru has joined the Akatsuki organization in advance and is preparing to use the power of the Akatsuki organization to collect tailed beasts.

At this time, he was fighting Liubian Ruohuo in the spiritual world, cultivating his soul power in this way.

Incarnated into a human form, the Ryuken Ruohuo is still very domineering, each sword is opened and closed with amazing power, and the flames on the weapon make a hunting sound with every slash.

Facing the powerful offensive of Ryūren Wakahu, Yusuke was still helpless, unable to parry, and the sound of Ryūren Wakahu continued to ring in his ears.

"Control your spiritual pressure and focus it on the weapon!"

"Don't just focus on defense, you have to look for opportunities to attack!"

"You are the worst class I have ever taught!"

With a clang, the weapon in Yusuke's hand broke with a slash from Ryuken Ruohuo, and he was also thrown away by the powerful impact.

Feeling that Yusuke didn't have much eye power left, Liu Ren Wakahu said calmly: "That's it for today."

After several months of practice, Yusuke could clearly feel the increase in his soul power.

The most direct benefit is that the eye power has been improved. Originally, Yusuke could only hold on for about ten minutes when fighting in the spiritual world, but now he can almost hold on for fifteen minutes.

In addition, Yusuke's energy has increased. Now Yusuke spends less time sleeping than before, but he is less prone to fatigue and his mental concentration has also improved.

In addition to soul power, another gain for Yusuke is the improvement of his swordsmanship. The swordsmanship style used by Ryuken Wakahu is called "Genryu", which was created by Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni, the former owner of Ryuken Wakahu.

Under the guidance of Ryuken Wakahui, Yusuke is also constantly learning the swordsmanship of 'Genryu'. The most important thing in this school of swordsmanship is the control of spiritual pressure, which relies on spiritual pressure to enhance the power of sword moves.

Glancing at the broken sword in his hand, Yusuke asked Ryuken Wakahui: "When do you think I can learn swastika?"

Liu Ren Ruohuo shook his head: "It's far from the time now. The power of Swastika is beyond the control of your current soul."

"However, once you can support fighting in the spiritual world for half an hour, you can almost try the first form of my swastika!"

After completing his training that day, Yusuke secretly left Konoha Village and came to an abandoned shrine.

There is a swirl-shaped symbol on the roof beam of this abandoned shrine, which was the shrine of the Uzumaki clan.

Hidden here is an artifact passed down from generation to generation by the Uzumaki clan - the Death Mask.

There is a mysterious connection between the Death Mask and the God of Death. When a ninja puts on the Death Mask, he can summon the God of Death even without using the corpse sealing technique.

In the original work, Orochimaru summoned the Death God through the Death Mask, then cut the Death God's belly and released the souls of the first to fourth generations of Hokage, and restored his hands.

Slowly entering the dilapidated shrine, Yusuke found a wall covered with masks.

There are nearly a hundred masks with weird and different expressions hanging on the wall, which seem to have been specially arranged to hide the real death mask.

However, for Yusuke, who has strong mental power, the death mask that exudes the breath of soul is like a firefly in the darkness, which can be recognized at a glance.

"Is this the Death Mask?" Yusuke slowly took off the grimace mask with a ferocious smile on both corners of his head and observed it carefully.

Yusuke once mentioned the Shinigami in the Naruto world to Ryuken Wakahui, and Ryuken Wakahui was also very interested in it. After all, it used to be a weapon belonging to the Shinigami in the Soul Society, and I was a little curious about the Shinigami in the Naruto world.

However, after hearing Yusuke's description, Ryuken Wakahui believed that the Shinigami in the Naruto world was not the god who really controlled the life and death of the creatures in the Naruto world, but was more like a powerful monster that fed on souls.

As for Liu Ren Ruo Huo's opinion, Yusuke thought about it and found it very reasonable. After all, in the original work, when Orochimaru cut the god of death's belly, he only released the souls of several Hokage and Orochimaru's hands that were sealed by the Ghoul-Sealing Technique. This shows that this so-called god of death only controls the souls sealed by the corpse-sealing technique.

From this perspective, corpse sealing is more like a psychic technique. The caster sacrifices his own soul to channel the god of death, and uses the god of death to harvest the enemy's soul.

In Yusuke's plan, he thought of using the power of the God of Death to complete the 'Reverse and Two-Year Curse Seal'. The God of Death itself is in the form of a pure soul and feeds on souls. It is composed of very pure Yin Escape Chakra, which is very likely to meet the requirements of the curse seal for Yin Escape materials.

"Although I have confirmed with Ryuken Wakaka that as a Zanpakutō, it can kill spiritual monsters like Death. However, the strength of Death cannot be evaluated yet. If I am not an opponent after summoning it, then His death is unclear."

Yusuke thought for a while, but to be on the safe side he put the Death Mask into the storage scroll. I decided not to rush to summon the God of Death for the time being before I was too sure.

The next day, Yusuke came to the ‘Zochun Teahouse’ that he often visited. This was also Yusuke’s favorite teahouse in Konoha Village.

"Huh? It's you." At this time, Yu Zhi unexpectedly discovered the girl waiter he had met before.

At this time, the girl was wearing a floral apron, and her light gray hair was still in two braids hanging on her shoulders. She looked cute and cute.

When the girl saw Yusuke, she also looked happy and ran up in small steps.

"Yusuke-sama, long time no see!"

Yusuke also smiled and said: "You have become a ninja, why don't you come back to be a waiter in a teahouse?"

Hearing Yusuke's words, the girl was still smiling, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes: "Ninja, it's really not suitable for me."

"When I was a child, I always admired the heroic ninjas when I saw them. I hope that one day I can become a ninja that everyone admires."

"But after actually carrying out the mission, I discovered the cruelty of the ninja world."

From the girl's mouth, Yusuke learned that she was actually his disciple Itachi's former teammate, named Inari Shinko.

During Itachi's mission to activate the Sharingan, captain Minazuki Yuki and teammate Izumo Tenma died in battle, while Inari Shinko was also seriously injured and took several months to recover.

Feeling the cruelty of the ninja world, Inari Shinko realized that he did not have the talent to become a ninja, so he gave up the path of ninja and returned to a teahouse as a waiter.

"I don't have the extraordinary talent of Itachi, and I can't accept the fact that my partner died in front of me. Maybe this teahouse is the most suitable place for me!" As they chatted, Inari Shinko seemed to have fallen into something bad. in memories.

When Inari Shinko came back to her senses and saw Yusuke patiently listening to her words, she suddenly felt embarrassed, her cheeks were red and she hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Yusuke-sama, for wasting so much of your time listening to me, a little girl, complain. "

Yusuke smiled and shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to pay attention.

The two didn't chat for too long, and Inari Shinko continued to work as a waiter.

Looking at the busy figure of the girl, Yusuke picked up the little tea left in his hand and drank it all, but there were so many thoughts in his heart.

"The five major countries, the Akatsuki organization, countless independent small countries, Obito and others are hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities."

"This world is really chaotic, yet extremely cruel."

"And if I come here with a power as powerful as Flowing Blade Ruohuo, can I do something for this world?"
