Chapter 496: Return to Takiyin Village

As for asking Orochimaru to remove the Ten-Tails seal from his body before reincarnation, don't make trouble. If the Ten-Tails are taken out, the Jinchuuriki will die immediately, even Orochimaru can't use it.

After Obito was extracted from the Ten-Tails in the original work, if it weren't for the Hashirama cells in half of his body and the plot needs, he would have died long ago.

Kakugi was not hiding any secrets. He took the trouble to inform Orochimaru of all the preparations he had made to become a six-level combat power. Every time he heard one, Orochimaru wanted to refuse and shook his head.

As the top scientist in the ninja world, Orochimaru could naturally tell that what Kakugi said was true.

Because of this, Orochimaru couldn't accept it.

Orochimaru actually doesn't mind having some powers temporarily and then losing them. For example, Orochimaru's favorite container, Kimimaro, even if Kimimaro doesn't have the blood disease, no matter how compatible he and Orochimaru are, he will be reincarnated into Kimimaro's body. Orochimaru still has to be reincarnated a few years later, because it is not his body after all.

But this kind of power experience card does not require Orochimaru to spend a lot of energy. Orochimaru also basically studied these thoroughly during the experience card.

But once Orochimaru also wants to embark on the path of Six Paths, the power gained by spending a lot of energy will eventually dissipate, which can be said to be more gain than loss.

What's more, according to Kakugi, Asura and Indra's reincarnation chakra recognized Kakumu and came to him on his own initiative. Orochimaru had nowhere to look for the illusory Asura and Indra's reincarnation chakra.

In the end, Orochimaru had no choice but to give up pursuing this power.

Orochimaru is unwilling to give up the art of reincarnation for the sake of strength. Moreover, Orochimaru has been reincarnated twice now, and from now on, he can only go to the dark side on the road of reincarnation.

Although Orochimaru pursues power, what he always pursues is the truth and infinite mysteries of the world.

The reason why Kazuoki is willing to spend so much time talking to Orochimaru is not only because of the important role Orochimaru will play in Kazuoki's plan, but also because Orochimaru is the scientific research talent that Kazuoki values ​​the most.

In the future, when the ninja world is unified, the heavy responsibility of resisting Tengai Otsutsuki will fall on Konoha's shoulders. At that time, Orochimaru will be Konoha's most reliable scientific aid.

"So, Orochimaru-sama, do you have the answer now?" Kakugi finally asked.

"Haha, don't call me "sir" again, I can't bear it." Orochimaru, who had made his own path clear, returned to his calm demeanor, gently licked the corners of his mouth and said, "I will follow your plan. !”

----

After bidding farewell to Orochimaru, Kakugi used Sora no Shiki to leave.

Although he came out this time to achieve cooperation with Orochimaru, Kakugi had other things to do.

In the plan, although it is still early, some forces should make contact first in order to make the future progress smoother.

For example, Takigakure Village.

......

It was still the largest waterfall in the ninja world. Kakuzu stood in front. This time he was not in disguise, but came wearing a Konoha Jounin vest and a Konoha forehead protector.

"Konoha Jounin Umino Kakugi has come to ask for an audience with Takima, the leader of Takigakure Village!"

Kakugi stood on the edge of the perceived safe distance of Taki-nin and shouted loudly.

"Whoosh!"

A Takigakure jounin quickly appeared, walked quickly to Kazuoki, and asked softly: "Excuse me, is it Umino Kadaki who single-handedly subdued Kumogakure Village?"

Takigakure Jōnin's face was tense, revealing his nervousness, and he couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of saliva when he spoke.

"Ah, it's me." Kakugi nodded with a smile and said, "This is my mission statement, please take a look at it."

Although the ninja world already has the technology to take photos and even movies, and even though Kazuoki has a resounding name in the ninja world, not everyone in the ninja world can recognize Kadomu's face, especially other ninjas. .

Therefore, for tasks such as sending a mission to other villages, you need to have a certificate to confirm your identity, and the mission certificate handed over by Kakugi is one of them.

Takigakure Jōnin took over Kadokaki's mission, and after looking at it carefully, his attitude became very respectful: "Hello, Kadokaki-sama, please come with me."

With that said, he led Kakumu through the waterfall and into the cave hidden under the waterfall.

Finally, they no longer call me "Scorching Release Hornwood" or "Humanoid Tailed Beast".

Kadomu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely.

......

"Welcome, Mr. Umino Kakugi, you really make our village shine!" Takima greeted politely but enthusiastically.

"You're too polite, Chief Takima." Kakugi responded in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

After all, Kakugi's identity at this time is not Shiba Haiyan.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Kadaki took out a letter and handed it to Takima.

"Chief Takima, in four months, Konoha is going to hold an open chunin exam. Villages that are traditionally friendly to Konoha will be invited to participate. I hope you can send people to participate."

"sure no problem!"

Takima readily accepted the letter and agreed without even reading it.

Although Takigakure remained neutral during the three wars, it was emotionally close to Konoha. Takigakure would participate in all the Chunin exams held by Konoha, but rarely achieved results.

However, Takima also has a good mentality, and his explanations to participating genin often emphasize life-saving, which is mainly used to broaden their horizons and train newcomers.

"It's better to read the letter. Hokage-sama also asked you for other things." Kakuzu reminded with a smile.

"Oh? Really?" Takima was a little strange, and he opened the envelope calmly. After a moment, Takima froze and looked at Kakugi with uncertain eyes.

Kazuoki nodded with a smile.

"Is this...Hokage-sama serious?"

Takima waved the letter in his hand, but couldn't help but speak.

What was written in the letter was that the Hokage invited the leader of Takigakure Village to watch the finals of the Chuunin Examination.

"Of course I am serious. Hokage-sama is doing this just to strengthen the friendly ties with Takigakure." Kakuzu said seriously.

"In addition, the Chunin Examination will begin in four months. As for the final decisive battle time, we will notify you separately. We in Konoha are preparing to hold this Chunin Examination as the largest one in history, and we will also invite Nobles from all over the world came to watch the battle."

"Uh...Is that so? Thank you, Hokage-sama, for the compliment." Takima accidentally told the truth.

Takima is not one of those idiots from the Hoshi Ninja Village of the Bear Country. Although Takigakure has the Seven-Tails and the Water of Heroes, Takima has never thought of calling him the "Sixth Shadow" or anything like that.

In Takima's heart, Takigakure might be better than Kusakure's gang of wallflowers, but there is still a certain gap between him and Amegakure, who has a demigod, let alone being tied with the five major villages.

"Isn't it too grand this time?" Takuma asked carefully choosing his words.

Normally there is no chance for Takima to use diplomatic language like this, and this time it was really hard for him.
