Thump!
The moment Orochimaru's words fell,
Suddenly, on the ground before him, a mass of eerie purple light immediately appeared!
Then, a huge coffin slowly rose from within!
The coffin was engraved with various complex incantations, and the moment it appeared, the surrounding Chakra began to fluctuate wildly!
The instant he saw this coffin,
Kyo's gaze momentarily froze.
'Huh?'
'Wait-'
'Impure World Reincarnation??'
'Could it be the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, or the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama inside...?'
Kyo remembered that in the original work,
When Orochimaru executed the Konoha Crush Plan, he used the Impure World Reincarnation to summon Hashirama and Tobirama to fight the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
However, just as he was wondering this,
Suddenly,
The lid of this coffin swung open, revealing the scene inside.
Thump!
Standing inside was a middle-aged man with dark blue straight hair, wearing a wide grey robe.
His eyes were tightly shut, and his face exuded a dark, deathly aura.
The moment he saw him,
Kyo couldn't help but be stunned again.
'Huh?'
'What the hell?'
'The Third Kazekage...?!'
Kyo was a bit taken aback.
He never expected that the person Orochimaru would summon this time using Impure World Reincarnation would be him...
At that moment,
Orochimaru on the opposite side immediately noticed the change in Kyo's expression.
He revealed a very pleased smile, grinning widely, and chuckled darkly:
"Hehe, surprised, aren't you, Kyo-kun?"
"Are you thinking, 'How could the Third Kazekage, who was turned into a puppet by Sasori of the Red Sand, suddenly appear here'?"
"Then... let me explain a little for you."
"After all, seeing you, who is always so calm, show a look of shock is indeed a very interesting thing~"
As he spoke, Orochimaru slightly raised one hand and continued with a smile:
"Back then, when I learned that Akatsuki was searching for Sasori of the Red Sand, I also began to investigate him."
"However, unfortunately,"
"When I discovered him in the desert of the Land of Wind, he was already dead."
"Of course, killed by you, Kyo-kun."
"Thus,"
"I successfully obtained Sasori's corpse, along with the Third Kazekage human puppet beside him."
"After obtaining enough body tissue from their corpses, I ordered Kabuto to bring Sasori of the Red Sand's corpse back to Sunagakure."
"Then, using that tissue as experimental material, I conducted a test of this technique."
"I don't know why Sasori of the Red Sand's soul couldn't be reincarnated with Impure World Reincarnation, but... the Third Kazekage went surprisingly smoothly."
Orochimaru smiled clearly.
That's right.
He had certainly tried to reincarnate as well.
But no matter how many times, the result was failure. In the end, with no other choice, he could only give up on him.
He chose the Third Kazekage instead.
After all,
This man was once known as the "Strongest Kazekage".
With an immortal body and unlimited power, he certainly wouldn't be weak.
"..."
At that moment,
Listening to Orochimaru's detailed explanation, Kyo's gaze shifted slightly,
He immediately recalled in his mind.
'So that's it,'
'No wonder Orochimaru back then... had that kind of expression...'
A few months ago,
During an Akatsuki gathering,
When Orochimaru learned that Kyo had killed Sasori, he immediately showed a flicker of surprise.
Although Kyo noticed it at the time, he didn't think much of it.
He never expected that back then, Orochimaru had already secretly obtained Sasori's corpse and the Kazekage puppet...
Kyo pondered, his gaze flickering slightly, not saying a word.
Seeing this from the opposite side,
Orochimaru's smile grew even more intense.
He knew that this time,
Finally, it was the Shinobi World's scientist's showtime.
With that, Orochimaru couldn't help but grin even wider. He suddenly spread his arms wide and said excitedly with a laugh:
"You may not understand yet, Kyo-kun..."
"This so-called Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique that completely transcends the meaning of death!"
"I only need to extract a portion of the deceased's body tissue, or even their DNA, to successfully activate it, summoning their soul back from the Pure Land and sealing it into a living sacrifice!"
"And what is created from this... is the ultimate Shinobi, possessing a completely immortal body and unlimited Chakra!"
"Even you... could never kill such an existence!"
"..."
Hearing this, Kyo withdrew his thoughts.
Then he slightly raised an eyebrow, glanced at the reincarnated Third Kazekage, then looked back at Orochimaru ahead, and said with a light smile:
"Are you sure... he has an immortal body?"
As the words fell,
Orochimaru's expression showed no ripple, still smiling darkly, and said:
"Words are useless now."
"Let you personally witness... his power!"
As he said this,
A kunai with a talisman attached suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's hand.
He raised his hand and instantly thrust this talisman kunai directly into the back of the Third Kazekage's head.
The next moment...
Boom!
White smoke exploded instantly!
From the body of the Third Kazekage, white vapor began to rise and steam up.
At that moment, the Third Kazekage, who had been completely lifeless, now had a faint, flickering sign of life start edappearing on his body!
Seeing this scene,
Kyo's heart stirred slightly.
It seemed Orochimaru didn't intend to let him fight autonomously, but used the talisman to erase his consciousness and emotions.
That is to say,
From now on, he was a fighting machine with no emotions.
Although this state would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the reincarnated individual, making them less fierce than when alive, at the same time, it could also prevent them from having too strong a will of their own and thus holding back...
At that moment, Orochimaru slightly raised his chin and sneered:
"Make your move."
As the words fell,
Suddenly, the Third Kazekage in his grey robe abruptly opened his eyes, and the Chakra around him instantly erupted.
A gust of fierce wind suddenly spread outwards!
Then,
He slowly turned his head,
Expressionlessly looking towards Kyo on this side, his gaze utterly indifferent.
"..."
Looking at the controlled Third Kazekage before him, Kyo couldn't help but slightly raise an eyebrow.
It had to be said,
Compared to the puppet in Sasori's hands back then, this original version before him was indeed a bit stronger.
Even as an Impure World Reincarnation existence, one could still feel his not insignificant power.
'What a pity,'
'This Kazekage really had been persecuted quite badly.'
'While alive, he was secretly killed by Sasori and turned into an inhuman puppet.'
'Hardly had Sasori died when he gets reincarnated with Impure World Reincarnation...'
'There's absolutely no dignity of the Strongest Kazekage.'
However,
Just as he was pondering,
Suddenly,
The Third Kazekage ahead abruptly raised his hand, and with very fluid movements, instantly completed his hand seals and released an attack!
"Magnet Release... Iron Sand Drizzle!!"
Boom!
The instant the words fell,
From somewhere, a massive amount of black iron sand suddenly surged forth, gathering directly in front of the reincarnated Kazekage!
Then, all the iron sand rapidly began to condense, quickly transforming into countless iron sand bullets, shooting down with unparalleled fierce momentum!
The dense black attack instantly surrounded Kyo below, leaving no room for escape!
Compared to the puppet Kazekage controlled by Sasori back then, not only was it faster, but the sense of oppression was also greater.
Kyo's gaze slightly darkened.
'Tsk.'
'I guess this is worthy of the Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Release Iron Sand...'
'Even in a non-desert map like this, he could still gather this much iron sand to attack...?'
'Isn't that a bit ridiculous?'
Although thinking this in his mind, Kyo naturally didn't panic at all.
With a thought, he immediately used Shunpo!
Swish!
Like the sound of a gale passing, Kyo's figure instantly turned into an afterimage, directly vanishing from the spot!
Boom!!!
That countless iron sand attacks all missed instantly, slamming into the ground!
Thud!!!
A huge crater was immediately smashed into the ground, dust filling the sky, obscuring all visibility.
At that moment,
Unbeknownst to everyone, Kyo's figure had directly appeared high in the sky!
Kabuto below instantly narrowed his eyes.
'?!'
'So fast!!'
However,
Before he could react,
He saw Kyo in the air quickly draw the blade at his waist,
Standing in the air, holding the sword with one hand, the sharp tip pointing directly at the reincarnated Kazekage below, expressionless, he said flatly:
"Shoot to kill, Shinso."
Swish!
The moment the words fell!
Instantly, a clear sword hum suddenly rang out!
The next moment, the blade in his hand rapidly elongated, the tip reaching behind the reincarnated Kazekage with incredible speed!
"Pfft!!"
With no obstruction, it instantly pierced straight through his chest!!!
"?!"
Seeing this scene, Kabuto was visibly shaken.
However, Orochimaru on the side, upon seeing this scene, showed no panic whatsoever.
Instead, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he grinned, chuckling darkly:
"Hehe... it's useless!"
"Even if you destroy the heart of an Impure World Reincarnation individual, you absolutely cannot kill him!"
"All his injuries will completely recover in just a moment!"
"Stop your useless efforts, Kyo-kun!"
Orochimaru spoke excitedly and loudly.
He felt as if victory was already in his grasp.
But,
Just then, suddenly, another change occurred-
Kyo, expressionless, quickly retracted the forty-meter-long blade back into his hand, and at that moment...
The reincarnated Kazekage's body directly began to fall forward!
Not only was there no sign of recovery on his body...
Instead, various crumbling cracks began to appear, like dust peeling away!
His reincarnated body began to disintegrate!
The life force of his soul within, at that moment, had completely vanished!
Seeing this scene,
The excited smile that had just been on Orochimaru's face completely froze, his pupils suddenly constricting as a chill surged up!
"?!?!"
'This...'
'What's going on...?!?'
At that moment,
Kyo looked down from above.
He stood high in the sky, his golden eyes burning gently, raising the blade in his hand while smiling and saying:
"Who said I was going to destroy his heart?"
"My blade... cuts both the flesh and the soul."
"?!!"
