In a spacious room deep within the laboratory, Kabuto Yakushi had prepared a series of intricate reincarnation rituals. Ryun stood quietly in a corner outside the ritual circle, while Orochimaru and a White Zetsu took their places at the focal points of the reincarnation array.
"Summoning, Impure World Reincarnation!"
Following the hoarse voice, the distinctive dust of the Impure World Reincarnation instantly enveloped the White Zetsu's body. After letting out a piercing scream, the White Zetsu transformed into the likeness of Obito Uchiha in the very next moment!
After a brief wait of a few seconds, the three saw Obito Uchiha slowly open his eyes.
"Where is this..."
Obito Uchiha glanced around the unfamiliar surroundings. When his gaze fell on Ryun in the corner, his pupils abruptly contracted, and his body tensed up sharply.
Ryun said nothing, merely watching the other quietly.
'I am already dead, aren't I? Why can I still see this demon? Has he died too?' Obito Uchiha thought to himself.
He had never witnessed the Impure World Reincarnation. In fact, Orochimaru in this lifetime rarely used this forbidden technique for showy fights. Those who knew of this forbidden technique were few, and Obito Uchiha naturally was not among them.
"This is definitely not hell, though for you, that might not be the case... You were originally dead, but we have revived you. Your soul now belongs to us. There is no other path for you but to serve us!"
Orochimaru gave a hoarse chuckle and politely explained.
"Wh, what nonsense are you talking about???" Obito Uchiha refused to acknowledge this absurd and cruel reality.
"Nonsense? If that's what you think, then so be it!" Orochimaru replied with a helpless smile.
"What exactly are you doing?" Obito Uchiha glared furiously at Ryun in the corner.
"My teacher has explained it quite clearly. While alive, you helped me awaken my eyes and helped me collect the tailed beasts. Even in death, you can still be of use to me." Ryun suddenly spoke to him with a smile.
"You!!!"
Obito Uchiha was both shocked and furious. He never expected this demon, Uchiha Ryun, would not let him go even in death!
"You were always a helpful child since you were little. Just consider this as helping us once more..."
Ryun said something so shameless that even Orochimaru found it despicable.
"Bastard. Don't even think about it."
Obito Uchiha raged, wanting to resist, but in the next moment he found that he could not move.
"It's useless. Teacher, have him use his ocular technique to absorb those glasses."
With a wave of his hand, Ryun used his gravitational force to forcibly requisition Kabuto's pair of gold rimmed glasses.
"Alright."
Obito nodded. In the next moment, he actively seized control of Obito Uchiha's body and used Kamui on the gold rimmed glasses floating in mid air.
As a spatial vortex appeared, Kabuto's gold rimmed glasses vanished in an instant. Ryun, in the next moment, revealed an expression as if he had anticipated this.
"Kamui."
Ryun also activated Kamui. The gold rimmed glasses, which had just disappeared from everyone's sight, materialized out of thin air once again.
With a gentle wave of Ryun's hand, the glasses were placed back on Kabuto's face.
"What's going on. Your ocular techniques." Orochimaru vaguely guessed something.
"Yes, our Kamui dimensions are connected." Ryun openly stated this secret.
"You are the robber who stole my eyes." Obito Uchiha said through gritted teeth.
His consciousness was still not sealed by Orochimaru, so he could still speak. Only his body's control was taken by the caster.
"Now, now, don't make false accusations. I merely borrowed your eye sockets to awaken my eyes. These eyes originally belonged to my father." Ryun smiled as he rebutted the statement.
"There's no need for you to be angry. When you gouged out Nagato's eyes back then, you also knew those eyes weren't his but Uchiha Madara's. You felt perfectly at ease gouging them out. Why are you so angry when the same thing happens to you."
Upon hearing Ryun's words, the angry expression on Obito Uchiha's face visibly froze, yet he could not find suitable words to refute.
"Accept your fate. I can grant you ten minutes of freedom to go see Kakashi. That guy is currently in our Village of Heaven."
When Obito Uchiha committed his evil deeds, he always wore a mask. Even when he died back then, the clown mask was still on, so many were unaware of Obito's crimes.
Ryun gave him brief freedom so he could go talk to his good friend and share his final words.
Sakumo Hatake had voluntarily submitted the Hatake clan's sword techniques to the Village of Heaven, so this father and son pair also gained the opportunity to become ninja again and join the Village of Heaven.
"What."
Obito Uchiha exclaimed in surprise instinctively, but before he could ask for details, in the next moment his entire body turned into a vortex and was directly teleported before Kakashi Hatake.
"Huh."
The sudden appearance of the familiar figure before him scared Kakashi, causing him to fall onto his rear.
"Kakashi." Obito Uchiha instinctively touched his own face, only to realize with shock that the clown mask was gone.
Without the clown mask, he was innocent and clean. Kakashi should not know of his sins.
"Obito." Kakashi shot up to his feet the next instant and embraced Obito Uchiha tightly.
The moment he was tightly hugged, Obito Uchiha visibly let out a huge sigh of relief. His good brother was indeed still kept in the dark.
"My good brother, wu wu wu."
Inside the laboratory room, Ryun and Orochimaru paid no further attention to Obito Uchiha, instead beginning another reincarnation target.
Following Orochimaru's instructions, Kabuto took out a small piece of dark brown earth stained with blood.
Orochimaru took the soil and then looked at Ryun.
Ryun placed his hand on the shoulder of a White Zetsu, transferring a small portion of his own sage chakra into the White Zetsu's body.
"That's enough. Although it doesn't have my body cells, my sage chakra combined with the Ten Tails' power should be sufficient to control that fellow."
The next reincarnation target was Uchiha Madara. The reincarnated Uchiha Madara would, at most, only possess a pair of Rinnegan and definitely would not have the Ten Tails' power.
Even without Ryun's body cells, relying solely on the latest improved version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the Ten Tails' power, and divine power, he felt confident in firmly controlling a small Six Paths Madara.
Although Uchiha Madara also knew the hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation, that was for the original version. It would be utterly ineffective against the current stage of the technique.
"Summoning, Impure World Reincarnation."
Accompanied by the familiar swirling dust, another White Zetsu's tragedy unfolded once more. Its pale face instantly transformed into the likeness of Uchiha Madara.
The moment his soul returned to the real world, Uchiha Madara suddenly opened his sharp, purple Rinnegan eyes.
