Chapter 28 Orochimaru's Speculation
As soon as Itachi Uchiha appeared, Obito immediately and without hesitation entered the Kamui dimension.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Orochimaru observed coldly, quickly memorized the key details of Obito's spatial abilities, and then his body quietly melted into a puddle of mud, slowly seeping into the ground.
A moment later, in a secluded woodland outside the fields...
Orochimaru's figure slowly rose from the mud once more.
He glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who had somehow appeared at the door, and gave a half-smile...
"Itachi, what brings you all this way?"
Orochimaru's tone carried a hint of provocation.
Itachi Uchiha stared at Orochimaru expressionlessly, his voice calm and indifferent.
"The leader sent me to ask you when you will be able to return to Amegakure."
"Hehe... I still have some data to collect regarding that falling planet."
Orochimaru answered in a deliberately nonchalant tone.
Itachi Uchiha clearly did not trust Orochimaru, but he did not intend to expose the other party's lies at this time.
His expression was cold and calm, and he spoke in that almost emotionless voice...
"The leader's meaning is very clear: you must return to Amegakure within three days, because the Akatsuki organization is preparing to make its appearance at the Five Kage Summit and fully demonstrate its strength."
"The Five Shadows Conference?"
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow slightly.
It's obvious...
Nagato believed that only by showcasing Akatsuki's full power at the Five Kage Summit could they truly unite the entire ninja world and jointly confront the impending doom.
At that time, facing the threat of destruction, the five great ninja villages will naturally have no choice but to submit.
After figuring out the leader's plans... Orochimaru smiled...
Unfortunately, the leader of Akatsuki was still naive...
Let alone the five great ninja villages, even Konoha alone would not cooperate so easily.
"Hehe, I see... I understand now."
"I understand. I will be back on time within three days."
Nagato's naive thinking led Orochimaru to decide to leave Akatsuki...
Having received a definite answer, Itachi Uchiha said nothing more and prepared to turn and leave.
The instant he turned around, a venomous snake shot out silently from Orochimaru's sleeve with lightning speed, its sharp fangs aimed at the back of Itachi Uchiha's neck.
Just as the venomous snake was about to strike...
Uchiha Itachi, however, turned around abruptly as if he had anticipated this, his crimson Sharingan instantly meeting Orochimaru's eyes.
Orochimaru's body seemed to be frozen, unable to move an inch.
Staring at Itachi Uchiha's deep and cold Sharingan, an uncontrollable fear welled up in his heart.
Orochimaru...
Itachi's voice was as indifferent as ice, yet it carried an irresistible pressure...
"You are still no match for those Sharingan eyes."
"That line again..."
Orochimaru felt a surge of anger and humiliation.
Last time it was Danzo, this time it's Itachi Uchiha...
A few seconds later, Itachi slowly withdrew his eye technique suppression, turned around coldly, and walked slowly towards the door.
Orochimaru stood still, his eyes filled with a complex and sinister expression.
He didn't make another move, but just stared intently at Itachi Uchiha's back, his palms slightly sweaty.
Orochimaru only gradually regained his freedom after Itachi had completely disappeared from sight.
His body trembled slightly, not from fear...
Rather, it was the long-lost, intense stimulation that was constantly arousing his inner ambition and desire.
Obito's figure slowly emerged from the darkness again, his voice accusing: "Orochimaru, you shouldn't be provoking Uchiha Itachi right now."
"Heh... I just wanted to test how terrifying the kaleidoscope is."
Orochimaru chuckled softly.
"Indeed, the Sharingan is terrifying..."
Obito noticed Orochimaru's condition but did not press him further.
"How's the Impure World Reincarnation project going on your end?"
"Don't worry, I've basically finalized the details of the Impure World Reincarnation."
"But before that, I need your help, Lord Madara."
Upon hearing this, Obito asked, "Do we need enough of those powerful ninja corpses?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with this."
It has to be said, this masked man, Madara Uchiha... is indeed quite useful...
He can handle the offerings, and even the corpses of these resurrected ninjas can be dealt with.
This masked man is so easy to get along with.
After hearing this, Obito nodded slightly, his tone full of confidence.
"This is very simple for me. Infiltrating various ninja villages, finding and obtaining those corpses and samples, there won't be any problems."
Since he was already planning to steal the White Zetsu, what's a few corpses compared to that?
His Sharingan made him quite professional at digging up corpses.
Especially now that the ninja world is in chaos, and most of the defensive forces of the major ninja villages will be focused on dealing with the Akatsuki organization and the crisis of world destruction, his actions have become even easier.
This masked man seems extremely dedicated to his partnership, making him a perfect collaborator.
Orochimaru suppressed his intense desire for the Sharingan and his tone softened considerably: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Madara."
"It's alright, this was part of the cooperation all along."
After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru suddenly seemed to remember something: "Oh right, there's one more thing."
Obito raised an eyebrow slightly, asking with interest, "Is there anything else you need?"
Looking at the perfect executive partner in front of him, Orochimaru thought of another interesting thing.
"Regarding Itachi Uchiha's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha..."
Orochimaru's tone carried a hint of cunning and anticipation...
"Lord Madara, could you please bring him here as well?"
Obito's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Leave it to me."
In fact, since he completely broke ties with the Akatsuki organization, he no longer needed to abide by certain agreements he had made with Itachi Uchiha.
For Obito, bringing Sasuke to Orochimaru's side not only met Orochimaru's needs but also made it more beneficial for his future plans.
At least there's one more pawn to restrain Uchiha Itachi.
As for Sasuke's life or death, Obito didn't care at all.
Even if he has great potential for growth, he cannot grow at this stage.
Looking at Obito's almost blind trust in him, Orochimaru quietly realized one thing...
Uchiha Abyss's mysterious Mangekyou Sharingan didn't seem to be able to completely control the masked man in front of him.
Judging from Obito's behavior, that eye technique should be more like a subconscious guidance method rather than a complete and absolute mental control.
In particular, Obito's willingness to take Sasuke Uchiha away without hesitation clearly contradicts Danzo, who was also influenced by Uchiha Gen.
This indicates that Uchiha Abyss's eye techniques have some kind of flaw or loophole in their rules...
It cannot completely erase the target's original consciousness, but can only provide potential ideological guidance.
Since they conflict with each other, the Mangekyou Sharingan representing Uchiha Abyss still has loopholes in the rules.
However, although his goal is Sasuke...
There is also a risk of contamination...
Especially when the masked man is with Sasuke...
but...
It seems quite interesting...
Because up to this point, Obito and Danzo have been acting independently...
Uchiha Gen's true intentions are completely unclear...
Out of curiosity, Orochimaru was even willing to take the initiative to contact Uchiha Abe...
As a scientist, he wanted to know the truth.
