Konoha's forbidden technique... Edo Tensei?!
The moment Kyo's words fell, the entire scene fell silent.
Almost everyone's breathing paused slightly.
Especially Itachi,
As a former member of Konoha's Anbu,
Although he had not personally seen this legendary forbidden technique, he had long heard about it from other senior Anbu.
Anbu wouldn't discuss such confidential matters with the outside world,
But in reality,
In private, they often talked about these things.
And this technique,
Was said to have been developed by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama,
As long as a living person was used as a sacrifice, it was a forbidden technique that could forcibly summon the soul of a deceased person back from the Pure Land and control it to fight!
Because this technique involved the corruption of human ethics,
It was ultimately listed as a Konoha's forbidden technique and sealed away.
Originally,
Itachi only took this as a rumor.
But now,
He never expected,
He would hear this familiar name again here, after so many years...
And Itachi was momentarily a bit stunned.
Kyo suddenly mentioning this technique at this time, could it be that he was going to demonstrate it on the spot...
Realizing this,
A drop of cold sweat couldn't help but appear on Itachi's forehead.
And at this moment,
Besides him, the other Akatsuki's members were naturally mostly confused.
However, the reason they were confused,
Was not because they were shocked.
Rather,
They were indeed a bit unfamiliar with this technique...
After all, this was a forbidden technique that hadn't appeared since the Second Hokage's era; it was normal for them not to have heard of it.
However,
That being said,
When they heard the word "reincarnation", they could still sense something... (T/N: Tensei means Reincarnation.)
However,
Before they could think carefully,
Kyo's gaze slightly lifted, suddenly looking towards Itachi over here, and chuckled lightly:
"Itachi, you're from Konoha, you should have heard of this technique, right?"
"Want to tell everyone?"
As his words fell,
Instantly, everyone's gaze turned towards Itachi.
Indeed,
Just as Kyo said,
Coming from Konoha, he should know a bit more than everyone else present.
And at this moment,
After hearing this, Itachi,
His gaze darkened slightly, and then his heart turned slightly cold.
He naturally had begun to realize what Kyo was going to do, and was naturally a bit shocked inside.
But even so,
His expression still pretended to be calm, and then, after calmly shaking his head, he said indifferently:
"I don't know much about it either, I've only heard of it..."
"It seems to be a Ninjutsu that can summon the souls of the dead from the Pure Land of the afterlife..."
"Developed by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama."
"? ? ?!"
"Summon the souls of the dead?!!
The moment Itachi's words fell, someone beside him exclaimed in horror.
And even Konan and Pain couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.
There's such a technique???
It can actually... directly summon the souls of the dead from the Pure Land?!
Isn't that too ridiculous?!
That Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, is really this awesome???
And at this moment,
Kyo didn't continue to give them time to react, but chuckled and nodded:
"That's right."
"Edo Tensei is precisely... the forbidden technique that can summon the souls of the dead."
"By extracting a certain amount of the deceased's body tissue, and using a living person's body as a sacrifice to become a vessel for the deceased's soul, it is possible through a special cursed technique to directly forcibly summon the deceased's soul from the Pure Land to the present world."
"And, let the deceased's soul attach to the vessel, and finally, cover the living person's body with dust, thus transforming into the appearance of the deceased when alive."
"And now, just as you all see..."
"The formation I'm stepping on right now is the Edo Tensei formation, and that bound guy is the sacrifice for this time."
"!!"
Kyo spoke quickly and methodically,
And the Akatsuki's members beside him, the more they listened, the more they sensed something was wrong.
They could even gradually infer what Kyo was going to do...
For this very reason,
No one interrupted.
Even Pain at this moment also gazed darkly, maintaining silence.
Undoubtedly,
Kyo's words shocked them greatly.
So much so,
That they subconsciously directly ignored other special existences.
Such as the suddenly appearing scroll and formation, and this "sacrifice" that appeared along with the formation...
And at this moment,
No one noticed the appearance of this sacrifice.
Instead, it was Zetsu beside him,
He had always remained silent, originally wanting to wait and see the situation from a distance before speaking.
As a result,
When this bound living sacrifice appeared,
He suddenly realized something was not quite right...
What's going on?
Zetsu's heart was directly full of confusion.
This living person brought here to be used as a sacrifice turned out to be... a person transformed by Zetsu's clone?!
And, judging by appearance...
It seemed to be precisely one of the White Zetsus responsible for monitoring Kyo back then!!
Realizing this,
Instantly, Zetsu under the Outer Path Statue was directly dumbfounded.
"???"
What the hell is going on!?
Was this guy caught randomly???
Impossible!
If caught randomly, how could he possibly have caught a White Zetsu clone!?
Isn't this too much of a coincidence?!
Could it be...
This guy saw through his strangeness...?
Zetsu was immediately stunned.
He could only stand stiffly in place, continuing to watch the situation.
And at this moment,
Kyo over here naturally noticed Zetsu's strangeness, and he found it amusing inside.
That's right.
This living person used as a sacrifice was naturally not some normal person,
Indeed, it was just a villager from Amegakure disguised by a White Zetsu clone.
Only now,
It was already controlled by Kyo's Bakudo and unable to act on its own.
It completely met the conditions for being a sacrifice.
And in fact,
A long time ago,
When Kyo thought of the Edo Tensei plan, he had already considered the choice of sacrifice.
He was not some deranged demon, so he naturally wouldn't directly catch an unrelated person to be a sacrifice.
Therefore, the White Zetsu clone was the best target.
First of all,
This thing fundamentally wasn't human.
There was no need to apply humanitarian principles to it.
Secondly, White Zetsu's body also contained the ultimate cheat called Hashirama's cells, its endurance and compatibility far exceeding that of ordinary normal bodies.
Compared to ordinary sacrifices, it was on the contrary a better choice.
However,
These bits of trivia,
The current Orochimaru naturally couldn't know.
He hadn't even told Orochimaru the source of this sacrifice.
And just now, the special scroll Kyo used wasn't anything rare, just a one-time scroll purchased from the shop.
The function of this scroll was very simple; it sealed a type of forbidden Kido called "Kukanten'I".
By using this scroll, one could directly use this Kido instantly without incantation.
As a forbidden Kido without a sequence number, its power naturally went without saying.
In the original Bleach,
The Grand Kido Chief, Tessai Tsukabishi, once used this Kido to directly transfer everything within the entire space, including the Hollowfied captains and the very ground itself, away.
And currently, Kyo's Kido level had not reached its peak, so he naturally hadn't unlocked this forbidden technique yet.
So, he could only purchase shop items.
Luckily, this thing, as a consumable item in the system shop, wasn't too expensive, so Kyo wouldn't feel the pain.
The Kukanten'I scroll, unlike the selection range of Kido, could freely choose the things within the range to transfer when used.
Therefore, as early as before,
Kyo had already prepared the Edo Tensei formation technique, as well as the White Zetsu clone bound by Bakudo.
So just now, he only needed to use the scroll to easily transfer the White Zetsu in that space directly over.
That would also facilitate performing the technique.
Although he could indeed have Orochimaru prepare everything in the Land of Rice Fields,
But doing it that way would again appear too suspicious.
It was better to operate directly on the spot in front of the Akatsuki's members, which on the contrary had more deterrent power.
Thinking this,
Kyo withdrew his thoughts and continued smiling:
"The Edo Tensei,"
"As a forbidden technique, its difficulty of learning is naturally extremely high. Ordinary people simply can't master it, and I'm the same."
"Therefore,"
"I contacted this former Akatsuki's member, Orochimaru."
"And next,"
"He will bring everyone the real performance."
As his words fell,
Kyo slightly turned aside, looked at Orochimaru, and revealed a faint smile.
Seeing this,
The Akatsuki's members suddenly understood!
So that's it...
After going around in a big circle,
It turned out Orochimaru was here to be a tool...
At this moment,
No one didn't know Kyo's purpose.
He... wanted to use the Edo Tensei technique to summon that Uchiha Madara!
According to the characteristic that Edo Tensei can only summon the dead, if this summoning really succeeded, it could... completely prove the masked man's fake identity!
It had to be said, this truly was an excellent verification plan....
Thinking of this,
Everyone's expressions also gradually became serious.
And at this moment,
No one noticed,
Kisame beside him actually showed, for the first time... a somewhat entangled and complicated expression on his shark-like face.
To be honest,
Regarding the masked man's identity as Uchiha Madara, he was instinctively not very willing to question it.
After all,
He had originally come to Akatsuki because he listened to this Madara's words and wanted to build a world without lies.
But now,
Kyo's verification plan, if it really succeeded, wouldn't it mean that the ideals he had been pursuing were all false...
