Chapter 593 Those Who Return and Those Who Cannot Return

"Dad, please come home soon..."

Before leaving, Nanami lingered in Ryuun's arms, reluctant to part, and refused to step into the spirit communication array.

"I know... Dad will come home naturally after he finishes his business. Your family over there is waiting for you..." Liu Yun patted her head and chuckled.

"Um...I'm leaving now..."

Nanami walked into the spirit communication circle, looking back every few steps.

"By the way, have you told Minato, Guy, and the others' relatives?" Orochimaru suddenly asked.

The relatives of these deceased are all waiting for their loved ones to return. Orochimaru's words refer to whether the bad news was given in advance.

"I already said that……"

Liu Yun's clone has already met with Lao Dai, Asuna, and others in private, and he has even met Kurotsuchi from Deidara's family!

"Okay, that's fine then..." Orochimaru breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"They've been preparing for quite some time now, it's time for you to set off!" Liu Yun stopped outside the spirit communication array and gave the final notification.

"Um!!"

Orochimaru and Sasuke nodded simultaneously, while Nanami looked at her father with reluctance and gradually pouted...

"Silly girl……"

Liu Yun looked at her and chuckled. The next second, as the summoning array was fully activated, the figures of the three expeditionary soldiers and the three Otsutsuki prisoners vanished in an instant.

Looking at the empty magic circle, his smile gradually faded.

In the open space next to the Shadow Mansion in Tianyin Village.

Seventy-two sages simultaneously channeled their own sage chakra into the summoning array, while the clone that served as the array's core autonomously absorbed most of the chakra consumption.

The power within his body was being drained by the summoning circle at an alarming rate. In just a few seconds, his chakra was completely depleted!

As the spirit communication array erupted with a dazzling light, a plume of white smoke suddenly rose from the core of the array with a 'bang'.

"came back?"

The ninjas who had been waiting patiently were the first to sense the Six Paths' figure.

"He's really back! It's the First Lord!!!"

"And Nanami-sama and Sasuke-sama!!!"

As the psychic smoke dissipated, the six figures were fully revealed to everyone.

"Nanasheng..."

Kushina shouted loudly, her eyes filled with tears.

"Mommy! Grandma!!!"

The moment Nanami saw her family, she burst into tears. The next second, she instantly appeared beside her mother and grandmother and hugged them tightly.

"Sister..." Jun Lin called out from the side. He was also very happy to see his sister, but the three girls were hugging each other and crying loudly, so they obviously didn't have time to pay attention to him for the moment...

Not far away, Sasuke and Mikoto, mother and son, were also crying tears of joy, hugging each other tightly and refusing to let go!

As for Orochimaru, he went straight to Nagato and his wife and chatted with them with a smile.

Cheers erupted around the Shadow Mansion, the sound deafening. However, soon someone cried out in alarm, because their 'Shadow Lord' suddenly staggered for some reason, and then disappeared from the crowd's sight in the next second.

This was because the chakra in his clone body was about to run out and he was about to die. Fortunately, at the last moment, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to enter Orochimaru's biological laboratory and died there, revealing the true form of the Otsutsuki.

If the Shadow Lord of Tenkaku Village were to die in full view of everyone and reveal his Otsutsuki form, some self-righteous fools would inevitably start speculating wildly...

Seeing the shadow leave, and with the two Heavenly Shadows and their families remaining unmoved, the crowd did not cause any disturbance.

"First Lord, why didn't the other lords come back with you?" someone asked.

"Yeah! Where are Deidara-sama, Guy-sama, Minato-sama, Sasori-sama, Kisame-sama???"

Because of the existence of the Elephant Transformation clone, most people in Tianyin Village believed that Liu Yun, the Shadow, had not personally led the expedition. The higher-ups of Tianyin Village also did not deliberately reveal information about Liu Yun's main body and clone. Even the Shadow Mansion did not respond to these matters, so everyone still thought that there was no Shadow among the people who went to war. At this moment, no one mentioned the most crucial big shot...

Seeing that everyone around him was asking questions and making noises, Orochimaru slowly raised his palm, signaling everyone to quiet down.

In just a few seconds, the previously noisy crowd quieted down.

"They...died in battle!"

The hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone who heard it widened their eyes. The previously quiet crowd erupted into a series of gasps of surprise!

"what!!!"

"They...they died in battle..."

When Asuna, Kurotsuchi, and other family members heard these words, the women couldn't control their emotions and burst into tears. Even Old Dai lowered his head, his eyes red.

However, they quickly adjusted their emotions and showed their strength, because the Elephant Transformation clone had told them about this beforehand, and Liu Yun also assured them that the day he returned would be the day the dead would be resurrected.

The crowd fell silent. Everyone lowered their heads and closed their eyes, spontaneously mourning the fallen hero. Even Orochimaru walked straight to Dai, Asuna, and the others, and bowed to them.

Old Dai and the others also bowed to Orochimaru, and the two sides exchanged a few words, but did not go into further conversation.

"These three guys are all from the Otsutsuki clan, right?"

Kurotsuchi, who had been standing to the side with his daughter, looked at the three Otsutsuki kneeling inside the summoning array and asked in a cold voice.

"Hmm..." Orochimaru glanced at the mother and daughter, then nodded slightly in response.

The next second, the burly Kurotsuchi slapped all three of them hard across the face and kicked the male Otsutsuki hard, sending him tumbling several times on the ground.

"Good fight!"

"Kill them!!!"

The onlookers were instantly enraged and wanted to kill the three to vent their anger. However, Orochimaru had brought these three back to be used as live test subjects, so he would not allow anyone else to kill them.

Of course, if Kurotsuchi and the others wanted to vent their anger, Orochimaru certainly wouldn't stop them, as long as they didn't kill anyone. The Otsutsuki clan members are actually quite resilient.

The three Otsutsuki were all placed under a restriction, rendering them completely unable to move their bodies or speak. They could only watch these humans shouting and killing with either anger or fear.

Seeing that Lord Orochimaru did not stop her, Kurotsuchi fought even more fiercely. All three of them were beaten until their heads were bleeding. In the end, it was Deidara's blonde girl who reached out and pulled her mother back, preventing her from killing the prisoners.

However, the crowd is getting increasingly agitated, with everyone shouting for violence, which is making it a bit difficult for Heitu to handle the situation.

Fortunately, Orochimaru suddenly raised his hand the next second, silencing the restless crowd:

"We've wiped out most of the other Otsutsuki clan members, but I still have a use for these three, so I can't kill them!"
