Konoha: Start with the card-drawing mobile game

Deeply aware of the limitations of human beings' short lifespan, Orochimaru once conducted in-depth exploration of immortality.

The immortal ninjutsu that can get rid of any injury and only need to pay a large amount of chakra to recover from a fatal state - the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique is a product of that period.

In addition to this substitution technique, there is also a ninjutsu that completes the alternation of life spans through body replacement and can indirectly achieve immortality.

"Reincarnation Technique"

Orochimaru hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to use the puppet technique to perform this untested ninjutsu on Hinata Xia's body.

Compared to Orochimaru's future specialty ninjutsu, the prototype of Fuzo Reincarnation, this reincarnation jutsu in its early stages is obviously a bit too clumsy.

It has only been used on experimental subjects, and there has been no successful case of maintaining conscious consciousness after reincarnation.

Judging from the experimental subject's loss of resistance to illusions and mental abnormalities after reincarnation, the damage to its soul during reincarnation has reached a shocking level.

In the same way, Orochimaru drew the curse mark for reincarnation on the white-haired clone on the same test stand.

"I hope you can get through it!"

There was some expectation in his eyes, Orochimaru formed a seal with his hands.

On the test platform, Hinata Xia, whose body was on the verge of collapse, used puppetry as a medium. He raised his blood-stained hand and formed seals at almost the same frequency.

"The art of spiritual transformation!"

This is Orochimaru's improvement of the reincarnation technique, using the power of the spiritual transformation technique to become a spiritual body.

Through point-to-point contact with the spirit body, the 'reincarnation technique' is indirectly released in the state of the spirit body, and directly invades the body of the clone.

It is somewhat different from the traditional reincarnation technique of forcibly invading the opponent's consciousness, fighting through the collision between souls, and then destroying the opponent's soul to occupy the reincarnated body.

The reincarnation technique performed with the spiritual transformation technique is obviously more gentle, eliminating the step of "using the reincarnation technique to separate the soul from the body", and the damage to the soul has obviously been significantly improved.

Moreover, under Orochimaru's deliberate manipulation, the instant clone had no self-awareness at all.

Therefore, the wear and tear on the soul during reincarnation is greatly reduced.

And the backbone of this clone was cultured based on Rixiang Xia's body tissue, so there would basically be no rejection reaction.

The snake-like vertical pupils flashed with excitement, and Orochimaru raised a smile on his lips: "The spirit body escaped successfully!"

Orochimaru's highly recognizable hoarse voice echoed in the laboratory, which also made Beiruhu, who was squatting in the corner of the laboratory, feel unspeakable fear.

'very scary.'

Beiruhu's face covered by bandages was full of fear. In his eyes, Orochimaru was completely out of the human category.

He conducted experiments on humans that were even more bloody and cruel than his own, captured the Hyuga clan, which had a high reputation in the ninja world, and then dug out his eyes and cultivated them.

The 'Hashirama cells' named after the first Hokage, are densely packed with prototype Byakugan in the culture stage in the culture dish.

Swallowing, Bei Liuhu turned his head to the side and looked at the ninja wearing red armor and vaguely exuding powerful pressure.

"Also, the ninjutsu to resurrect the dead strong"

Under the suppression of the enhanced version of the spell specially made by Orochimaru, Senju Hashirama completely lost his consciousness.

‘The control kunai is at the back of the head, right? ’

Hirohu once witnessed Orochimaru putting a kunai with a charm on the back of the head of the first Hokage, and then covering the consciousness of the first Hokage when the "Unscrupulous Earth Reincarnation" technique was activated.

Looking at the first-generation Hokage who had become Orochimaru's puppet, Hirohu suddenly remembered the actions of the second-generation Hokage - Senju Tobirama's dirty body that day.

‘What the second generation Hokage can do, the first generation Hokage should also be able to do! ’

Beiruhu witnessed the communication between the second generation Hokage and Orochimaru.

Not only the really powerful chakra fluctuations, but what Senju Tobirama said: 'The ninjutsu I created' and 'the backhand I left behind' also shocked Beilihu greatly.

If Orochimaru's quick eyes and hands hadn't been able to remove the Jutsu of Earth Reincarnation in time, I'm afraid they would have become the prisoners of the Second Hokage now.

'What if I take out the control seal on the back of the first Hokage's head'

He raised his head and looked at Senju Hashirama who was in a state of filthy earth. Senju Hashirama's empty eyes and the filthy earth cracks on his face were reflected in Beilihu's red pupils.

A bold guess emerged in Bilihu's mind, but he quickly put it away.

‘Now is not the opportunity, we need a better time’

Orochimaru touched his neck through his clothes. In order to make him feel more at ease, Orochimaru left more than one curse mark on his body.

Tongue, neck, abdomen, heart.

This also indirectly induced the growth of the seeds of resistance in Beilihu's heart. Breaking away from Orochimaru's control and retrieving his own Kiyaro Jutsu is his current goal.

‘Can we use Orochimaru in reverse to collect Onigaro’s materials? ’

Strange thoughts appeared again, and even Beiliuhu himself was startled by this thought.

'Hinata, Uchiha, Senju, Kaguya.'

Looking at the neatly marked corpses and body tissues stacked indoors, Bei Liuhu's ambition continued to grow.

‘Find a way to escape from the curse seal first and find an opportunity to kill him! ’

Beiruhu once again set his sights on Senju Hashirama (The Reincarnation of the Earth), which should be his most powerful trump card against Orochimaru.

'Orochimaru won't kill me for the time being, he still needs me to assist him in experiments and perfecting the art of Oni Meiluo! ’

Before the 'Orochimaru Killing Plan' can be carried out, he has more important things to do.

Relying on the curse seals distributed all over his body and his outstanding scientific research capabilities, Beiruhu, who has become half of Orochimaru's deputy, has gained Orochimaru's initial trust.

‘Learn Orochimaru’s cloning technique and create another body that is free from the control of the curse seal! ’

Beiruhu's ambition continues to spread in his red eyes, and he needs to keep in mind the 'reincarnation technique' that Orochimaru is performing for Hinata Xia.

Pry into the steps of the reincarnation jutsu, and then find a way to get Orochimaru's body-changing ninjutsu into your hands.

This is Bi Liuhu's current goal. After all, he still has value.

"That is, soul?"

Bei Liuhu opened his eyes wide and stared at the soul body that separated from Hinata Xia's body in surprise.

"Spiritual transformation technique, successful!"

As early as the first meeting, after getting the blood sample of the Hyuga branch collected by Hinata Natsu for himself, he handed over the scroll of spiritual transformation to Hinata Natsu.

The purpose was to use Hinata Xia to practice the method of reducing the soul damage of the 'Reincarnation Technique' for himself.

However, what Orochimaru didn't expect was that Hinata Natsu was not proficient in the art of spiritualization at all, and there was another reason for the soul to leave the body this time.

In Hinata Xia's body, Otsutsuki Hamura observed the movements of the outside world through the light curtain.

Just now, after finding the method to release the spiritual transformation technique from Hinata Xia's memory.

Otsutsuki Hamura forcibly mobilized chakra along Orochimaru's seal method, simulated the release of the spiritual technique, and expelled Hinata Xia's soul from the body.

"It's too crude, a method of forcibly transferring the body!"

As Hinata Xia's body gradually lost its vitality, Otsutsuki Hamura frowned.

Through special means, he added aura-condensing chakra protection to Hinata Xia's spirit body, which was an added layer of protection.

Prevent Hinata Xia from becoming a fool due to soul damage after being reincarnated into a clone body.

"It's this clone!"

After seeing the clone that he had left behind under the guidance of Orochimaru, Otsutsuki Hamura immediately mobilized the chakra previously stored inside the clone.

In response, the chakra remaining in the clone body felt Hinata Xia's approach and immediately started preparations for soul transfer.

‘It’s a completely different aura than when Kato Dan released the spirit transformation technique. Why is her spirit body like this? ’

Looking at Hinata Natsu, whose body was intact and moving in a spirit state, a kind of doubt couldn't help but arise in Orochimaru's heart.

Due to insufficient research on spiritual bodies, Orochimaru did not discover anything unusual about Hinata Natsu.

For example, with the help of Hamura Otsutsuki, she became an overly powerful and tough spirit.

Exhaling outward, Orochimaru immediately guided Hinata Xia's soul to approach the clone.

"Just imitate my seals, and I will help you complete the reincarnation technique through another medium!"

After speaking, Orochimaru placed his palm on the clone's forehead and injected his chakra into the clone's body through the 'Puppet Curse'.

"Get ready, there may be an unstoppable tearing feeling in your spirit body!"

The hoarse voice disappeared instantly, and Orochimaru mobilized his chakra stored in the clone's body like a puppet.

As Orochimaru formed the seal, the clone put his white fingers on his chest simultaneously and formed the seal at the same speed.

Hinata Natsu, who was floating in the air as a spirit body, immediately kept up with Orochimaru's seal speed.

It doesn't take much effort for her to let Orochimaru control the clone to release the 'reincarnation technique'. She only needs to establish the connection with the clone through the seal and wait silently for Orochimaru's further progress.

"The art of reincarnation!"

With a hint of excitement, Orochimaru released this ninjutsu that had never had a perfect reincarnation record.

The white-haired clone with dull eyes clasped his hands together, and the crisp clapping sound echoed throughout the laboratory.

After Hinata Natsu completed the seal, she immediately felt the weak connection established between the clone and herself.

"There shouldn't be any rejection reaction, let's try it!"

The white-haired clones were cultivated mainly from Ri Xiangxia's cells, and their unique advantage in adaptability meant that they would never experience any abnormal rejection reactions.

Hinata Xia, who was in the spirit state, nodded and touched the clone's chest with his own body.

Suddenly, the chakra that Otsutsuki Hamura had reserved inside the white-haired clone had a strange reaction.

"So smooth?"

Orochimaru's face was full of doubts. During the experimental stage, all the test subjects of this 'reincarnation technique' were brutally tortured when replacing their bodies.

The scream, as if he was undergoing some kind of torture, was deeply imprinted in Orochimaru's mind.

‘The research and development of immortal corpse reincarnation comes to an end! ’

Resolutely giving up the research and development of immortal reincarnation, this crude reincarnation technique seems to have entered the stage of "complete research and development" with the help of this experiment.

Attributing the credit to the perfect adaptation of the clone and the art of spiritual transformation, Orochimaru looked at Hinata Natsu who disappeared in front of the clone with interest.

The white-haired clone opened its eyes, and the consciousness belonging to Hinata Natsu successfully completed the reincarnation with the dual help of Otsutsuki Hamura and Orochimaru.

"What about the soul?"

Something called consciousness gradually appeared in the hazy eyes of the white-haired clone. After turning his eyes, Hinata Natsu truly felt the special feeling of coming back from the dead.

Suddenly, Orochimaru stretched his head in front of Hinata Xia, and something called murderous intent appeared in his snake-shaped eyeballs.

The strong killing intent was released from Orochimaru's body, covering and suppressing Hinata Xia's consciousness.

‘Illusion! ’

By making the opponent fall into fear through killing intent, the illusion can be released. This is what Orochimaru used on Uchiha Sasuke in the Forest of Death.

"Similar to the last time I pulled you into the illusion world, it seems that your soul was not damaged too much during the reincarnation!"

Entering the illusion space with Hinata Natsu, Orochimaru said hoarsely.

"Lord Orochimaru, thank you very much!"

In the illusion space, Hyuga Natsu, who had changed into a new body, immediately expressed his gratitude to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru stretched out his finger and pointed at Hinata Xia's forehead: "But your caged bird seems to have not changed!"

Hinata Natsu immediately lowered his head and looked at his forehead through the floor of the illusion space.

Although there are no traces of the caged bird's mark on this body, she still retains the light green mark in her spiritual state.

Even after switching bodies, this curse of slavery and shame still haunts him like gangrene attached to his bones.

"It seems that the caged bird has been underestimated. This thing is actually linked to the soul."

"Also, when you complete the body switch, the brain cells in your original body have been destroyed by the caged bird!"

Two pieces of news that Hinata expected came from Orochimaru's mouth, making her start thinking about the future path.

"I will use the sealing technique to suppress it first. After the war is over, maybe the guys at the root will be able to do something!"

In Orochimaru's view, the guy who has the most hope of cracking the caged bird now is probably the one who has an extremely rich accumulation of sealing techniques.

‘The seal that eliminates the root cause of tongue trouble, the seal of eight trigrams, the seal of self-karma curse, and the seal of the four inner phenomena’

After counting Shimura Danzo's research on curse seals in detail, it seemed to Orochimaru that the foundation of sealing techniques he had accumulated far surpassed his own.

"Roots."

After hearing the familiar words, Hinata Natsu immediately recalled the Uchiha who recruited him.

‘I should be a member of the Roots now, right? ’

Hinata Natsu suddenly realized something, and an understanding of the Uchiha tribe that recruited her suddenly appeared in her mind.

‘Their goal is Orochimaru? ’

But on the bright side, Hinata Natsu remained calm and listened quietly to Orochimaru's speech.

"Your body is in a wonderful state." Orochimaru objectively stated the state of Hinata Xia Xin's body and added:

"The corpse bone veins are too strong to be mobilized, and the Hyuga bloodline is in a suppressed state and cannot open the Byakugan. It is completely maintained by Hashirama cells."

"You must be uncomfortable without the Byakugan, but it doesn't matter!" Orochimaru suddenly smiled and told his latest scientific research results:

"Through cloning, I can already mass-produce Byakugan!"

"When the first batch of cloned Byakugan are completed, I can replace you with a pair of Byakugan."

After saying that, Orochimaru formed a seal with one hand and silently recited the word 'solution'.

The illusion world created by Orochimaru was immediately shattered, and Hinata Xia's consciousness instantly returned to reality.

Lying on the experimental table, Hinata turned his head.

In her new body, she caught a glimpse of her original body out of the corner of her eye.

Under the influence of the caged bird, the only surviving white eye had lost its brightness, forming a contrast with the empty eye socket on the other side.

After the brain cells were destroyed by the caged bird, his delicate face had lost its previous appearance.

"The look of my death."

The image of death that she had seen countless times in her dreams appeared before her eyes, but the fear that penetrated her bones had disappeared.

Lifting her wrist, which was extremely weak from being in the culture solution for a long time, Hinata Xia touched the top of her head.

Although there is no mark of the caged bird like the original body, the vague feeling of restraint and control is still there.

"Successful, but I will tell you what you need to pay attention to later."

The old voice appeared in Hinata Xia's ears, and she immediately recognized it as Otsutsuki Hamura's voice.

"This body is perfect, even without the Byakugan!"

A slightly moving voice came out, and along with the transfer of his body, Otsutsuki Hamura came to Hinata Xia's new body at some point.

Taking a deep breath and feeling her new body, Hinata put her wrists under her body and forced her weak body to sit up.

"Okay, let's put on this costume!"

Orochimaru walked out of the mysterious room with a piece of dark clothing in his hand and a brand new green vest in his arms.

"I will arrange a new identity for you while the clone Byakugan is being cultivated."

Throwing the clothes and ninja vest into Hinata Natsu's arms, Orochimaru approached Hinata Natsu's forehead and placed his palm on it.

"The restraining ability of the caged bird has been greatly weakened, but it is best to stay away from those clans."

"I will mobilize you to the front line consisting mainly of civilian ninjas. You just need to wait for the Byakugan to be trained."

Orochimaru took out a Konoha forehead protector from his ninja tool bag, put it on Hinata Xia's forehead himself, and pointed to a room that could be used for rest.

"Okay, it's better for you to take a rest before adapting to your new body."

After Orochimaru finished his instructions, Hinata climbed down from the experimental table and dragged his extremely weak body towards the room near the corridor.

Looking at the back of Hinata Xia who had switched to a new body and was slowly moving forward, a sense of pride could not help but arise in his heart.

"Successful, such a perfect state."

Very satisfied with his masterpiece, Orochimaru took out Sarutobi Hiruzen's autographed letter from the mouth of the psychic snake beside him.

"Just transfer him to the genin team that's short of people here!"

Among the scrolls, there is the newly mobilized genin that Hiruzen Sarutobi personally arranged on the Kirigakure battlefield—Kosuke Maruboshi.

The distribution of the two genin teams is exactly: Matt Dai, Maruboshi Kosuke,——

Orochimaru's fingers were attached with chakra and he wrote Hinata Natsu's name in the empty space.

In a woods, Uchiha Cheru, wearing A Fei, was waiting for something.

After a moment, Hei Zetsu poked his head out from the ground, exposed half of his body and said, "Urgent news, it seems that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are about to appear in Kirigakure Village!"

"After tearing apart Konoha's front this time, they finally couldn't bear it any longer!"

Hei Jue smiled and then said: "And you know what, things seem to be getting interesting!"

"oh?"

Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Uchiha Toru raised his head and turned his thoughts away from Hinata Xia.

"Originally I just wanted to spread rumors." After arousing Uchiha Toru's interest, Black Zetsu continued, "That Uchiha Fugaku seems to have really activated the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
