Chapter 162: Catching up (3rd update)

Three years of reincarnation.

This is not to say that this body can only last three years, but that after Orochimaru changes to a new body, he cannot continue to change it within three years. Perhaps it is due to physical limitations, or perhaps it is due to mental limitations. In short, the three-year period refers to the shortest replacement period, not the longest limit time.

That is, if Orochimaru is willing.

His replaced body can be used indefinitely.

As long as nothing unexpected happens.

But obviously, something happened now.

The damage caused by the zombie sealing technique to Orochimaru was far beyond imagination. At first it was just because of the loss of his hands, but in subsequent experiences and experiments, Orochimaru could clearly feel that his body was being destroyed. Once the special power corrosion spreads from his hands to the whole body, the body will be naturally destroyed, and before that, Orochimaru must transfer his 'soul' in advance.

Otherwise, it will be destroyed along with the body.

This is why Orochimaru was so happy when he got the real solution to the corpse sealing technique from Menma, and then couldn't help but go to Tsunade. This is not just about his hands. Problem.

Unfortunately, Tsunade rejected him. The 'method' provided by Menma had not been systematically and completely tested, and accurate information had not been transmitted from Konoha, so Orochimaru naturally had no way to start.

So, in order to solve the serious problems caused by this technique.

There was only one solution Orochimaru could consider.

That is to continue to use the immortal reincarnation to replace himself with a new body. If everything goes well and the prediction does not go wrong, the new body can allow him to temporarily get rid of the influence of this technique, even his sealed hands. Everything can be 'restored' again!

But this must be only 'temporary'!

Because Orochimaru's pair of 'hand souls' that truly belong to him are already in the stomach of the God of Death.

In the end, we must return to the real solution provided by Menma.

But now Orochimaru must rely on the art of reincarnation to extend his life.

"Now? Orochimaru-sama, Uchiha Sasuke will probably arrive in two or three days. If Menma-kun is dispatched, there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?"

As Orochimaru's most trusted subordinate, Yakushi Kabuto knows better than anyone else his Orochimaru-sama's desire for Uchiha Sasuke's body and his yearning for the power of the Sharingan.

This time, it was finally possible to get a chance to become an orthodox Uchiha clan bloodline.

Do you want to let it go so directly?

Kabuto Yakushi said he couldn't understand.

"Kabuto, do you think my body can continue to hold on? If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding Menma's detection, I would have wanted to change my body a few days ago. The corrosiveness of this technique is still far beyond my ability. Expect, cough.”

Orochimaru shook his head slightly and said in a very weak tone.

This is also the most embarrassing time Orochimaru has been in since his defection from Konoha Hidden Village. The last time he had to be killed instantly by Uchiha Itachi.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Orochimaru, I will prepare immediately."

After all, Kabuto Yakushi was not a party involved. Even with instruments for monitoring, he still could not fully understand Orochimaru's feelings, but Orochimaru's order was absolute.

After Yakushi Kabuto bowed in response, he turned around and went to make final preparations for Orochimaru's reincarnation.

'Sharingan, now is not the time, now is not the time, but one day, hum, Itachi-kun, whether it is you or Sasuke-kun, everything about you must belong to me, and it will definitely belong to me. me! ! ’

At this moment, a hint of ultimate madness appeared in Orochimaru's pair of sickly snake eyes.

Menma sets off and Orochimaru changes bodies.

The different actions each carried out.

At the same time.

From the Hidden Leaf Village to the westernmost border of the Land of Fire, the team led by Naruto also engaged in the most intense pursuit battle with the four sound ninjas.

Under the interference of other Konoha ninjas in front of them in different ways.

It's obviously less than two days' journey at most.

It was forced to add nearly one-third of the distance.

In some places, they were blocked by some guarding ninjas. This delay caused the death of several ordinary Konoha genin.

But it also really bought the most critical time for Naruto and Shikamaru's pursuit team.

After spending a little more than a day before and after.

Naruto finally caught up with the four Sound Ninja who took Sasuke away.

"You guys are weak souls, please bring Sasuke back to me!"

Naruto, who saw the four sound ninjas galloping in front of him ten minutes away, immediately roared out loudly.

A powerful chakra aura erupted from his body that was far beyond that of ordinary Chuunin.

It also directly attracted the attention of the four sound ninjas in the front position.

"Hmph, we are actually chasing soldiers again. What a group of people who don't know how to live or die!"

Tayuya, the only female among the four sound ninjas, glanced at Naruto and his group who were hundreds of meters away from her and others, and said with a hint of disdain in her pupils.

Under normal conditions, the strength of the four sound ninjas is already greater than that of most chunin. After turning on the curse seal mode, they can reach the level of jounin.

In the ninja world, this is already an existence that stands at the top of the pyramid.

In their opinion, they and others are the absolute confidants cultivated by Lord Orochimaru with great efforts. How can these rubbish be qualified to be compared with them! ?

"Same as before, defeat them quickly and then set off."

Tayuya then said coldly.

"No, we have already wasted a little more time. We can't waste any more time. If we make Orochimaru-sama wait any longer, it will be our fault. Jirobo and Kidomaru, you two will stay to stop him. They, Tayuya and I will take Sasuke-sama and leave first. Remember, you don’t want to fight, you can retreat as long as you wait for a while!”

When Kimimaro did not appear in the battle.

Sakon is the captain of the four-person crowd and assumes the responsibility of command.

Under normal circumstances, the other three would still obey Sakon's command.

"Don't worry, Sakon, there's nothing wrong with just some brats!"

Kidomaru licked his lips like Orochimaru, and said with a hint of coldness.

"Um!"

Jirobo on the side also buzzed in response.

He handed the barrel with Sasuke on his back directly to Sakon beside him.

As Sakon and Tayuya sped up further to leave.

"Buzz!"

"boom!"

Jirobo and Kidomaru also opened the curse seal directly without any hesitation, entered the first form, and then suddenly attacked towards the position where Naruto, Shikamaru and others were galloping from behind.
