Chapter 118 Jiraiya: Orochimaru, I've already figured out your weakness [Fifth update, please subscribe]
Although Jiraiya felt heartbroken seeing his teacher beaten so badly he couldn't get up, he also felt somewhat comforted, as it proved that his teacher wasn't as utterly shameless as Shimura Danzo.
He still had a bottom line, although it has now been broken by it.
If this were twenty years ago, no, even ten years ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have been able to teach Orochimaru a lesson.
Although Orochimaru was the most terrifying boss in the early stages, in terms of combat power, he was only average among the many Kage-level ninjas. In contrast, Hiruzen Sarutobi at his peak was known as the "Ninja Hero" and the "Professor of Ninjutsu," a Kage-level ninja with all five elemental attributes.
It's significantly stronger than a typical movie-level character!
Ten years ago, Orochimaru would never have dared to have such a thought, because if the Third Hokage really wanted to, he could have killed him, or at least spared his life.
However, it is obvious how weak the current Third Hokage is.
He even allowed Orochimaru to grab his collar and mock him.
"You're a ninjutsu professor, so don't disappoint me." Orochimaru was extremely arrogant.
The ANBU members watching were extremely worried and immediately shouted, "Third Hokage, please stand up and protect Konoha!"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru merely glanced coldly at the ANBU member and said, "Fool, it's too late, hahahahaha!"
"Sarutobi, what's wrong with you? This isn't like you at all."
An eye opened on the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), and the voice of the ape demon came from within.
"Completely unlike what you're looking for. What are you hesitating for? It's time to make a clean break."
Upon hearing this, tears welled up in the Third Hokage's eyes, blurring Orochimaru's face as he looked at him.
"Orochimaru, you idiot."
In the blink of an eye, the Monkey King extended a hand from the body of the golden cudgel and grabbed Orochimaru by the neck. Just as he was about to kill Orochimaru, he turned into a clump of dirt and disappeared from the spot.
However, he had barely appeared when the Third Hokage kicked him away.
In order to create a space for himself to deal with Orochimaru alone, he activated the explosive tags that he had just attached to the two previous Hokage.
However, he soon realized something was wrong. His limbs, which had been blown off, were actually healing as the fragments returned.
"What is this?"
Kakashi Hatake watched as the First Hokage and the Second Hokage rose again in the scene.
"Isn't that practically immortality?"
He was shocked to discover that, if he wanted to deal with such an impure resurrected being, he probably had no choice but to confront it head-on.
This simply cannot solve the problem.
"It seems that the only way to solve this problem is to target the caster. Perhaps eliminating the caster will undo the jutsu," Itachi Uchiha thought, looking at the reunited bodies of the First and Second Hokage in the image.
Every technique has a weakness, even a seemingly invincible ninjutsu like this. Itachi Uchiha firmly believed that it must have a weakness.
The Third Hokage in the scene clearly noticed this as well, and immediately realized that he had to find a way to get rid of Orochimaru, the one who cast the spell, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat the First and Second Hokage.
"As expected, we must find a way to deal with the souls bound by the Impure World Reincarnation, otherwise it's meaningless. In that case, we'll have to use the Fourth Hokage's ninjutsu."
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.
"First Hokage, Second Hokage, please forgive me, I must perform that ninjutsu."
Orochimaru, unaware of the gravity of the situation, simply walked to his grass sword and said, "Master, your breathing is very rapid. You're getting old. I've never seen you in so much pain before, hehehe."
"What's so funny?" the Third Hokage couldn't help but ask.
"How pathetic, even you, once known as the God of Shinobi, can't overcome aging."
Just then, in front of everyone, Orochimaru tore off his own face, revealing the face of a young woman.
"What is that? What's going on?!"
One of the secret agents standing nearby was completely shocked and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Who exactly is that young man?"
"Who exactly are you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but ask.
"Is it because it was too sudden, and you can't understand it?" Orochimaru replied. "It's me, Orochimaru."
Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage seemed to instantly realize what was happening, exclaiming in shock, "You've mastered that technique?"
"Hahahaha!" Orochimaru couldn't help but let out a somewhat inhuman laugh upon hearing this. "I've been away from the village for over ten years, and I've suffered a lot, you know."
"You've become a terrifying, inhuman thing." The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru with shock and pain, as if he couldn't accept that his disciple had turned into this monster. "The reason I didn't choose you as the Fourth Hokage is because of your twisted mind."
The scene shifts to the Third Hokage's memories. In a dark sewer, the Third Hokage, along with the Anbu, finds Orochimaru.
I saw Orochimaru engrossed in performing surgery in the laboratory.
When the teacher came to his door, he wasn't surprised. He simply said, "It's a pity that you've finally been found out."
"Orochimaru, what exactly is going on with you?" the Third Hokage demanded.
"I clearly set so many traps, and it surprises me, so it was you."
Orochimaru turned to look at the Third Hokage, who was leading the Anbu, and listened to their accusations against him.
"Recently, many ninjas have gone missing, from genin to chunin, and even jonin from the ANBU. There are also reports of people disappearing without a trace. In addition, there is information suggesting that your behavior is suspicious."
"Lord Orochimaru, why would a ninja like you do such a thing?"
A member of the Anbu was shocked and asked in disbelief.
Orochimaru was one of the earliest members of the Anbu, and even within Root, he was the second member after Danzo.
Therefore, many members of the Anbu regarded Orochimaru as their idol, never expecting that their idol would do such a thing.
"Orochimaru, so it was you who did this! Tell me, what are you doing here?"
The Third Hokage questioned.
Orochimaru finally stopped pretending and directly stated that he wanted to study ninjutsu. He wanted everything, to master all ninjutsu, and to understand everything in this world. There are thousands or tens of thousands of ninjutsu in this world, but to understand these ninjutsu requires a very long time, so he needs a very long time.
The lifespan of the physical body is too short and too fleeting. Even if one is called a Hokage, once he dies, he is gone.
Therefore, he wanted to research the art of immortality.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, including the Third Hokage and the Anbu members in the video, as well as the people outside the video.
"This immortality technique is a method to preserve one's spirit for eternity." The scene returns to the Chunin Exams, where Orochimaru, with a feminine appearance, explains. "In other words, it's a reincarnation technique that requires finding a new body and then letting one's spirit possess that body. The reason I've been pretending to look the same as before is to make my teacher reminisce about the past when we meet again. Aging is truly empty. Seeing you has given me a profound understanding of that. You will die here, while I will gain a younger, more beautiful, and stronger body. Konoha has truly given me a lot of fun."
"
"I see." The Third Hokage finally understood everything. "Is it Uchiha Sasuke?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru licked his lips and then admitted, "That's right, you're right, it's Uchiha Sasuke."
"A reincarnation technique that allows one to seize another's body and achieve immortality of their own soul?"
The third generation leader finally understood and demanded, "How many times has this face and this body appeared before?"
"It should be the second one," Orochimaru said nonchalantly. "I originally planned to train Sasuke to be the way I wanted before taking him, hehehe, but if I want you to regret your career and die cursing your fate, then this face is definitely better."
Orochimaru then transformed back to his original form.
Off-screen, everyone fell silent.
"Orochimaru, what kind of monster have you become? The body you painstakingly sought was Uchiha Sasuke, you wanted to possess his body, and you wanted to obtain the power of the Uchiha clan, right? It's just a pity that you never expected that you would have a day when you would fall apart."
Jiraiya's face showed a mixture of anger and mockery.
His teammate was a renowned genius throughout Konoha from a young age, whose ideas were always completely different from those of normal people, which is why he went down this evil path.
Even he had to admire Orochimaru for being able to develop such a forbidden technique, which could allow a person's soul to be reborn into different bodies to achieve immortality.
He was still as radiant and talented as ever.
However, his talent was not used for good. Even more tragically, this cunning man was ultimately defeated by Sasuke Uchiha.
She was too clever for her own good, and ended up ruining her life.
"Your soul reincarnation must have weaknesses, right? Let me guess. Each reincarnation must have weakened your soul strength. And the soul represents mental power, and mental power represents resistance to genjutsu. That's why you were instantly killed by Itachi Uchiha." At this moment, Jiraiya was frantically combining the information from before to analyze Orochimaru's current state.
Many things that I couldn't understand before, I now understand with malice.
