# Impure World Reincarnation and the Netherworld Invasion! (Combined Chapter)
About ten minutes ago.
That was when Aramaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and Jiraiya had just started fighting.
Orochimaru had been observing the battle between the two sides from the side.
His idea was that if the combined efforts of Jiraiya and the other two could put some pressure on Aramaki, then he wouldn't mind joining in and showing off his combat ability.
But after watching for a minute or two, he knew that even with him, the chances of winning weren't high.
Due to the sudden disconnection from Ryūchi Cave, his most proficient 'Snake Series' Ninjutsu couldn't be used.
So, his current strength, relying on other Earth Release and Wind Release techniques, was only at the level of an Elite Jonin. He might not even be able to take down a single Uchiha Fugaku in a short amount of time.
Orochimaru had truly never imagined that Ryūchi Cave would unilaterally cut off contact with him.
One must know that they had signed a Contract. Such a situation had never been heard of in the Ninja World since ancient times.
This made him wary of Ryūchi Cave, and even of all the Holy Lands.
He even started to be cautious about the Sage Mode techniques passed down from these Holy Lands, so it would be best to develop his own unique Sage Mode.
Of course.
In Orochimaru's observation, he felt that even if he could summon the Snakes from Ryūchi Cave, he probably wouldn't be Aramaki's opponent.
The same went for Jiraiya.
What use was it even if he summoned various Great Toads?
They were probably like his Teacher's Enma, unable to withstand even one of the opponent's Heavy Punches.
However, he did notice Aramaki's slight scruple towards Sage Jutsu, which successfully verified this piece of Intelligence.
But the problem was, besides Jiraiya, there was no one else on the entire field who could use Sage Mode.
Minato Namikaze could also use it, but unfortunately, his legs were crippled, and he was still lying on a Hospital Bed in Konoha Hospital.
Orochimaru even felt that Tsunade wouldn't be able to cure him even if she came.
The end of his Calf Bone had been pierced with deep holes, and the surrounding Flesh and Blood and nerves had completely lost their Life Force and necrotized.
Based on all these reasons,
Orochimaru immediately made the Decision: "You guys hold them off first, I'll go get reinforcements."
Taking advantage of the Fierce Battle unfolding between the four in the front, he silently used Earth Release to escape to a distance and acted according to the Plan he had discussed with Shimura Danzō earlier.
Previously, when Danzō told Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage's Office that he was going back to prepare,
he was actually returning to the Root Base to wait for Orochimaru.
Because the current Orochimaru was a Root Ninja under him, considered a trusted subordinate who needed to stand behind him when meeting outsiders.
The Raijin Sword and the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique were both suggested by Orochimaru.
Otherwise, Danzō wouldn't have been able to speculate that the Raijin Sword's Energy might be similar to Sage Mode Chakra.
Of course.
Only someone as Rational, almost cold-hearted, as Shimura Danzō would accept the Suggestion of preparing the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique within his Body.
"Summoning Technique!"
Listening to the distant Rumble, Orochimaru calmly bit his thumb to draw Blood.
He then slammed his palms heavily onto the ground.
Immediately, with a 'bang', a mass of White Smoke erupted.
As the White Smoke dissipated, two sturdy Figures appeared on the ground, seemingly in a deep sleep.
They were said to be sleeping because their bare Chests were still rising and falling with Breathing.
They were said to be sturdy because their Height was estimated to be over two meters, and coupled with their bodies, which were either fat or Muscle, they looked very burly.
Crucially, the two looked very similar.
These two were named Fūjin and Raijin, a pair of twin brothers, currently Chunin of Konohagakure, who had just recently reached adulthood.
In terms of Personality or rather, Intelligence, they were typical simple-minded individuals.
Especially their Desire for Food and their appetite, which even the Akimichi Clan Ninjas couldn't help but admire.
And in terms of Physical Strength.
The Physique of these two brothers could not necessarily be suppressed even if Akimichi Clansmen of the same age used the Partial Expansion Jutsu, and they would become even stronger each year as their bodies developed.
Therefore, every time they went on a Mission,
the main task of the Ninjas on the same team was to carry a large amount of Food for them and then use this Food to direct their actions.
Because as long as they were tempted with Food, these two brothers would become incredibly obedient.
As for why Orochimaru had controlled them beforehand and then Summoned them to this Battlefield, it was to use them as Sacrifices.
That's right.
He was about to perform the Forbidden Technique created by the Second Hokage, which had always been recorded in the Scroll of Seals.
The 'Impure World Reincarnation Technique', which could summon the Souls of those who had long died back to the Human World and resurrect them by Possessing a Physical Entity!
It was quite interesting.
Shimura Danzō had specifically asked Hiruzen Sarutobi for the Scroll of Seals before, asking Orochimaru to quickly read through it to see if there were any usable Forbidden Techniques.
But they didn't know that.
Orochimaru had already sneaked into the Leaf Archives, guarded by multiple Anbu members, several years ago, after the end of the Second Great Ninja War.
Driven by the desire to learn all Ninjutsu, he had long ago sneaked into the Leaf Archives, guarded by multiple Anbu members.
He had read through all the Ninjutsu Scrolls, including the Scroll of Seals.
However, Orochimaru wasn't foolish enough to expose himself, so he simply pretended to review it and read the Scroll of Seals carefully again.
Afterward, he told Shimura Danzō that the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique and the Impure World Reincarnation Technique within it had a high Probability of being useful.
The former offered a chance to take down Aramaki in a Desperate Situation, while the latter could summon the Powerhouses of Konoha's past generations.
The Result was naturally smooth.
However, this Impure World Reincarnation Technique, perhaps because the records were not comprehensive enough,
resulted in Orochimaru only being able to summon three people at a time.
But according to Historical Records, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, had once used this to summon more than five enemy Ninjas.
Furthermore, Orochimaru also noticed that the Physical Fitness of the Living Body Sacrifice had a significant impact on the Strength of the summoned individual.
So he directly found Shimura Danzō and asked him to solve this problem.
Shimura Danzō was also very reliable.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's tacit approval, he had someone go through the Register/Roster of Konoha Ninjas and the Related Information.
Especially those Ninjas who were Bloodline Descendants of the Senju Clan.
Because the Powerhouses Orochimaru decided to summon were two Senju Clansmen, as he couldn't find more suitable Powerhouses besides them.
Finally, they selected Raijin and Fūjin, who were sleeping soundly before Orochimaru's eyes.
Because according to the Investigation, they not only had astonishing Physique but were also Bloodline Descendants of the Senju Clan.
This made Danzō, Hiruzen, and Orochimaru himself suddenly understand.
No wonder they had monstrous Brute Strength and were simple-minded.
It seemed that while their Bloodline Regression/Ancestral Awakening occurred, their IQ was affected to some extent. It was a case of gaining some and losing some, with both blessings and misfortunes intertwined.
Orochimaru stuck out his Tongue and licked his dry lips.
"What a pity. If they were properly trained, they should have been able to become Powerhouses of their generation."
Looking at the brothers who were about to die but seemed to be having sweet dreams, occasionally smacking their lips, he smiled slightly.
"Have a good dream~"
Immediately, he took out a Scroll about ten centimeters wide from the Ninja Tool Pouch tied to his Waist and tore it open in front of him.
[Bang!]
The next moment,
two thick, long Injectors containing pale green Liquid appeared Mid-air, Accompanied By White Smoke.
Orochimaru casually grabbed them with both hands, bent down, and slowly pushed them into Raijin and Fūjin's bodies one by one.
Inside were Nutrient Solution to keep the Cells alive and Cells originating from the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
As mentioned before, no one had successfully adapted to these Cells so far.
But Orochimaru didn't need them to adapt to the Cells; he just needed the Cells to be inside their bodies, as the entire Body would soon become a Sacrifice.
Indeed.
In less than ten seconds, Raijin and Fūjin's bodies showed strong Reactions.
They initially showed painful Expressions in their sleep, but as the Severe Pain intensified, both opened their eyes, twisted their bodies frantically, and wailed continuously.
But Orochimaru was completely indifferent to this, squatting down expressionlessly and activating this cruel Ninjutsu.
"Impure World Reincarnation!"
The black Incantation for Impure World Reincarnation had already been drawn on the ground.
As he slammed his right palm heavily onto the ground, the brothers Raijin and Fūjin were instantly covered layer by layer by a large amount of Soil in their Suffering.
In Orochimaru's view, completing the Ninjutsu as soon as possible would allow them to end their Suffering sooner.
This could also be considered a form of Mercy.
[Buzz! Buzz!]
But just as he activated the Impure World Reincarnation Technique,
two visible Blue Light Pillars suddenly appeared out of thin air above, precisely covering Raijin and Fūjin.
At the same time, they pushed back the Soil that was about to spread to their Faces, and their originally painful Expressions quickly relaxed.
This change caused Orochimaru to frown.
This phenomenon had never occurred when he performed Impure World Reincarnation before.
But when the increasingly dazzling Blue Light bloomed and then disappeared in a certain instant,
Orochimaru saw Hashirama Senju and Senju Tobirama successfully appear, thinking that his Impure World Reincarnation Technique had not failed, and his raised Heart immediately dropped.
As for the Blue Light from before, now was not the time to investigate.
He would just consider it an Anomaly that occurred when summoning the First Hokage himself using his Cells.
After all, he was the 'God of Shinobi'; it wasn't strange for him to have some Special Effects.
He would study it properly when he had time later.
"The two previous Hokage, the Situation is urgent now, I will try to be brief, so please do not ask questions for now."
Orochimaru had a faint Smile on his face and was about to explain the situation.
But unexpectedly, Senju Tobirama suddenly interrupted him coldly.
"We already know the specific Situation. It's quite remarkable that you could learn my Impure World Reincarnation Technique, you are indeed an impressive Ninja. It's also fortunate that you could use it at this time. However, let's defeat that Aramaki first before saying anything unnecessary."
"Uh..."
Orochimaru was stunned, watching speechlessly as Hashirama Senju and Senju Tobirama instantly disappeared from their original spots.
What was going on?
Why did these two dead individuals seem to understand the Situation in the Human World better than he did?
The people he had summoned with Impure World Reincarnation before were always in a dazed state.
This left Orochimaru completely bewildered.
However, he immediately followed them. He wanted to see just how strong these two previous Hokage were.
And while he was at it, he would find an opportunity to tell that Aramaki that these two were summoned by him...
Meanwhile,
in the Pure Land.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo, holding the Sage Staff condensed from Onmyōton, floated above the 'Shinobi Sect'.
With a pair of purple Rinnegan, he looked up at the starless night sky with a solemn Expression.
Because a circular Black Hole was appearing there, visibly expanding and growing larger.
Although both were black, both he and the past Ninja World Powerhouses he had left below
could clearly distinguish which was the night sky and which was the Black Hole that appeared out of thin air.
It wasn't just because of the color, but also because of the scorching and Sulfur Smell Aura pouring out from the Black Hole.
As soon as these Auras entered the Pure Land, they turned into dark red Hikari, making the increasingly large Black Hole even more conspicuous.
It was quite a coincidence.
Just as he had sent the Souls of Hashirama Senju and Senju Tobirama over via Pure Land Summoning through Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation,
this thing appeared in the sky.
"Invaders from another Netherworld?"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's shock at this moment was no less than that of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and others when they learned about the World Government.
He had always thought that external Invasions of the Ninja World would at most come from the Otsutsuki Clan from outside the stars in the Human World.
But he had never anticipated that his Pure Land would be invaded.
"Could it be that the Otherworld Civilization called the World Government is already strong enough to launch Invasions against both the Human World and the Netherworld simultaneously!"
At this point, the Black Hole seemed to have reached its maximum size and stopped expanding.
Surrounded by the vast expanse of Hikari, the Black Hole was like a pitch-black Eyeball overlooking the entire Pure Land.
"Something is coming out!"
Somewhere in the Shinobi Sect, Kondō Muu, wrapped in White Bandages from head to toe, stood atop an ancient Wooden House.
Beside him was his Teacher.
Ishikawa, the First Tsuchikage of Stone Village. However, in terms of Strength, he was stronger, as he possessed the self-created Kekkei Tōta, Dust Release.
Indeed.
The past Ninja World Powerhouses throughout the Shinobi Sect all saw dense Figures pouring out from the massive Black Hole.
The most obvious among them were the Light Masses formed by countless Red Butterflies,
and the Souls of Giants, each standing over twenty meters tall.
Seeing this scene,
Otsutsuki Hagoromo casually set up a Large Barrier over the entire Shinobi Sect, bouncing all the Souls attempting to land inside far away.
Immediately after, he was about to use another Barrier Jutsu to seal the Black Hole in the night sky.
But the Barrier Jutsu he cast with the Sage Staff had only just formed in the sky for less than a second before it was blasted open by a scorching Torrent erupting from the Black Hole.
This made Otsutsuki Hagoromo realize that the opponent's Strength was not inferior to his!
Soon,
the Ninjas guarding the outermost perimeter of the Shinobi Sect witnessed firsthand that as soon as the glowing Red Butterflies landed on the ground,
as the red Aura bloomed, they transformed into 'Humans' with gray-black skin, Hearts and eyes glowing with bright Hikari, and roaring from their mouths?
The running Speed of these 'Humans' was not as fast as Ninjas, but it was much faster than Ordinary People.
Their baring teeth and claws, their completely irrational and frenzied appearance,
would have truly frightened the people present if they weren't all Ninjas starting from Elite Jonin level.
Of course, they were still very shocked now.
Not by their Strength, but by their Quantity.
The glowing Red Butterflies seemed endless, continuously pouring out from the Black Hole and then landing on the ground to become these... things?
Fortunately, they seemed unable to pass through the Soul Barrier set up by the Sage of Six Paths.
This made the Ninjas of past generations breathe a sigh of relief.
Although their Chakra could be replenished fastest in this Pure Land, no one wanted to face an endless 'human sea'.
However,
when a Figure with six Demon Eyes on his Face, with red sclera and gold irises, wearing a purple-black Kimono, stepped inside the Barrier while holding a Scabbard covered in Eyeballs at his Waist,
the Ninjas realized that this Barrier Jutsu did not block all enemies.
Because Otsutsuki Hagoromo was not planning to face all the Invaders alone.
These Souls of past Powerhouses were originally the Military Strength he had prepared to deal with future Otsutsuki Clan Members.
Although it was a sudden Situation, it was also a good opportunity to see the Effect.
"But those few seem a bit troublesome for them..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo narrowed his eyes, looking at the four Figures who had been floating in the sky since coming out of the Black Hole, showing no intention of descending.
The Aura emanating from their Souls was comparable to Hashirama Senju in his normal state.
And the man in the red Coat, with a pair of upturned mustaches, grinning and showing a brilliant Smile,
should be the Strongest among the four!
About ten minutes ago.
