Chapter 185: The Successive Hokage of the Impure World
[If only I could look you in the face from the beginning and discuss the truth with you on an equal footing...]
[…At this point, no matter how much a loser like me tells you, you won’t listen. So, this time, I want to at least let you know more of the truth…]
Itachi used his hands to pull Sasuke's head closer to his own, until their foreheads were finally touching.
【It doesn't matter if you never forgive me. 】
[No matter what you become in the future, I will always love you. ]
Sasuke stared blankly at Itachi as he turned into a beam of light and flew into the sky.
【I……】
He looked at Itachi's disappearing figure, and all his words finally turned into silence.
……
In the Ninja World
Different people have different opinions.
Some people believe that no matter what the reason, a coup is wrong.
Some people believe that the Uchiha had every reason to launch a coup.
Some people, standing from the perspective of the Uchiha clan, believe that what Itachi did was intolerable, especially killing ordinary people and children who knew nothing.
There were also people who stood on the side of the Ninja World and Konoha, believing that Itachi prevented a war that was about to break out, and that those of them who were still enjoying peace were also the beneficiaries, so they could not utter the words of accusation no matter what.
Itachi was fighting to protect peace, to protect his brother, and to protect the name of the Uchiha clan entrusted to him by Shisui, who was like a brother to him. He bore all the bad reputation and all the sins alone. So no matter what evil things he did, he was a hero to Konoha and the entire ninja world.
A hero who killed his parents and massacred his entire clan.
Such people, they have to bear the kindness of each other...
Not to mention the twisted mood of everyone in the ninja world.
In the secret testing base, Orochimaru's focus is basically on Kabuto.
Orochimaru looked at Kabuto and licked his lips.
"Kou. If I'm not mistaken, that's you, right?"
Dou pushed his glasses up and asked doubtfully, "It was indeed me, but that doesn't seem to be the state of the curse?"
Orochimaru looked at Kabuto with interest and said in a hoarse voice: "That is the Sage Mode of the Ryuchi Cave. I didn't know that you, Kabuto, have the talent to practice senjutsu."
"Moreover, you have integrated into my cells... Hehehe, you are such a loyal subordinate."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.
"Is it possible that I was really sealed by Itachi?"
He has many backup plans, and even when facing the Shiquan Sword, he believes that he will not be sealed.
But if he wasn't sealed, why would Kabuto live like him?
He never underestimated his own personal charm, and he knew Kabuto very well.
After he was sealed, Kabuto began to doubt his beliefs, so it was not surprising that he lived the way he did.

Sasuke looked at the sky in the direction where Itachi disappeared.
The image of Itachi came to mind.
Then came everyone in the clan.
Sasuke murmured: [What is a family? ]
Then, the image of the Third Hokage and a group of Konoha ninjas appeared in his mind again.
What is a village?
Then there are the Five Kage...
What is a Ninja?
[How on earth am I…]
Just then, Suigetsu and Jūgo burst in.
[Is it you? ]
Shuiyue asked: [What are you doing here? ]
Sasuke said calmly: [Stop the Impure World Reincarnation. ]
[You are always like this, unwilling to explain things to others. ]
【Anyway, there's someone I have to meet now. I'm going right now.】
Shuiyue asked: [Who? ]
【Orochimaru.】
Suigetsu was shocked: [Huh? What are you talking about? Didn't you kill Orochimaru a long time ago? ]
[That man has a very tough life, how could he disappear so easily? ]
[Family...Village...I want to meet someone who knows everything! ]
Screen turn
Sasuke formed seals with his hands and pressed one on the seal position on Hongdou's shoulder.
【The seal to dispel evil! 】
A snake head emerged from the curse seal, then the snake opened its mouth and Orochimaru crawled out.
[I didn't expect that you are the ones who resurrected me? ]
Shuiyue, who was hiding behind Doudou, popped her head out and said with a frightened look: [Hello...long time no see.]
Sasuke said bluntly: [Orochimaru, I want you to do something. ]
……
After seeing this scene, the ninja world was in an uproar.
"Is Orochimaru immortal?"
"This guy's tenacity is too exaggerated!"
"It's fine that Sasuke didn't kill him, but after Itachi sealed him, he could revive him without even removing the seal!"
"Is it because of the curse? As long as someone has the curse, he can always be resurrected?"
"As expected of Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, he has many tricks up his sleeve...even if they are only for saving his life."
Then, everyone in the ninja world saw the Uchiha clan at the Nanhe Shrine, and Orochimaru put on the death mask and took back his hands...
"Orochimaru is so powerful! He can actually take things back from the hands of the god of death?"
"The successive Kages of Konoha Village have been resurrected!"
"I can see Hashirama, Tobirama, and Minato again!"
"This period of time... is when Madara's plan began, and he became the enemy of the entire ninja world, right? In other words, this is the Fourth Ninja World War?"
on screen
Orochimaru slapped the ground.
[The Impure World Reincarnation Technique! ]
The four White Zetsu on the ground screamed and straightened up.
[Very good, here we come. The people who know everything, the modern Hokage! ]
Ninja World
"Finally I see Hashirama again!"
"It's still Hashirama's silly face that looks more friendly!"
"Yong Daimei is still as handsome as ever!"
"Tobirama looks more serious than before. I miss the little one who always liked to cross his arms across his chest."
"The Third Hokage looks like a monkey."
"..."
on screen
Shuiyue looked at Hashirama and whispered: [Is this the first Hokage, Hashirama himself, who is known as the God of Ninja? ]
With a serious face, Tobirama said: [Is it that ninja named Orochimaru again? ]
Hashirama asked: [What's going on? ]
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: [I guess the Shiki Fuujin technique that sealed us was released, and then the Impure World Reincarnation was used.]
Minato was surprised and asked: [How could the seal be broken? How did Orochimaru do it? ]
Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice: [You underestimate me, Minato. I have been studying the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, the clan's old site that no longer exists, and the documents scattered everywhere since the sealing technique was lost.]
Minato said: [It seems that we have been resurrected in this world. ]
Hashirama leaned slightly, looked at Minato and asked: [Who are you? ]
Minato turned around and pointed at the five words on the divine robe behind him.
【I am the Fourth Hokage. 】
[Oh! You are the fourth generation! I see! It seems that the village is peaceful, right? ]
Minato's tone was somewhat awkward: [Um... I'm not sure if it's peaceful now, because I died before the third generation and was sealed earlier than him.]
[Is that so? Weren't you sealed together with Sarutobi? ]
[Yes, it was because of other things.]
Hashirama asked curiously: [Who is the fifth generation then? ]
Minato scratched the back of his head.
He doesn't know this either...
Fortunately, Orochimaru helped him to clear up the confusion for Hashirama: [It’s your granddaughter, Princess Tsunade.]
