Orochimaru screamed at the top of his lungs and rolled off the bed to the floor in pain. His eyes were filled with hatred as he kept cursing the Third Hokage.
Naruto, Hinata, and Itachi Uchiha were sitting around a fire, heating water. Naruto was in charge of heating the water, Hinata was making instant noodles, and Itachi just sat there, looking on.
"Damn Sarutobi! Even in death, you won't let me have peace!" Orochimaru cursed the Third Hokage countless times.
"Add more chili. Instant noodles taste better with chili," Naruto was instructing Hinata on how to cook instant noodles.
Orochimaru was in his secret stronghold, while Naruto was at the Valley of the End. One was wailing in pain, and the other was cooking a midnight snack.
At Orochimaru's place, he was in a pitiful state. Kabuto had been captured by Naruto, and among the Sound Five, Ukon and Kimimaro had also been taken back to Konoha.
All the other Sound Ninjas were dead. Now, Orochimaru was almost alone. The only person he could rely on was Jugo, but unfortunately, Jugo was useless.
After rolling off the bed to the floor, Orochimaru crawled out of the room with great difficulty. Losing Kabuto was to make matters worse.
Just like this, Orochimaru crawled all the way to the dungeon, where there were many test subjects. These were all people with rare constitutions whom Orochimaru had captured during his travels.
According to the original plan, Orochimaru wanted to use a forbidden jutsu. That is Living Corpse Reincarnation[b]Living Corpse Reincarnation[/b], to seize Sasuke's body.
If he couldn't bring Sasuke back from Konoha, then there was a backup plan. He would let these test subjects fight each other, and the last and strongest one would become his vessel.
However, now that he had lost Kabuto and was in a half - dead state, he simply couldn't organize these test subjects to fight each other.
Orochimaru had no choice. He could only crawl into the dungeon and pick whoever was unlucky enough to be chosen by him.
When Orochimaru crawled into the dungeon, everyone in the dungeon noticed his arrival. After a few seconds of silence, they all started shouting.
"Isn't that Orochimaru? The bastard who brought me here!"
"Right! I'd recognize him even if he turned to ashes. That's Orochimaru!"
"Look! Orochimaru seems to be badly injured."
"Who on earth could have hurt Orochimaru like this?"
"Damn it! If I could get out of this cage, I'd definitely twist Orochimaru's head off and use it as a ball to kick around."
"Hey! Orochimaru seems to be staring at me." A man in an iron cage was so scared that he started crying. "Orochimaru is looking at me... What does he want..."
Suddenly, Orochimaru's body exploded into more than a dozen pieces, which left everyone present stunned.
After Orochimaru's body shattered, a white - scaled snake with a human head appeared.
"Aaaaah!" There was an unlucky guy in the cage. Maybe because he was very strong and had a robust build, Orochimaru had his eyes on him.
The white - scaled snake with a human head was like a predator. Its huge snake head lunged straight at the iron cage and easily squeezed through it.
On the other hand, at the Valley of the End.
Itachi Uchiha used Transformation Jutsu[b]Transformation Jutsu[/b] to turn into Sasuke's appearance and stood facing Naruto.
Itachi asked, "Naruto, I've transformed into Sasuke's appearance as you requested. What do you want to do next?"
Naruto said with a grin, "Come on, have a fight with me. No use of Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] or Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b] is allowed, only Taijutsu[b]Taijutsu[/b]."
"Why?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Orochimaru should have changed into a new body and is coming here right now." Naruto opened his eyes, showing a murderous look, and said, "Let's have a fight."
Next, Hinata watched from the side. Itachi, transformed into Sasuke's appearance, fought with Naruto.
This was just for show. Naruto thought it was a fake fight, but unexpectedly, Itachi was playing for real.
"Ouch! Why are you hitting me so hard?" Naruto was stunned for a moment.
"Ouch! Here you go again!" Naruto took several steps back.
Itachi, with a blank expression, continuously attacked Naruto with Taijutsu[b]Taijutsu[/b] without saying a word.
Itachi used his hands and feet, jumping up and down, kicking and stepping. His fists aimed straight at Naruto's throat. His knee strikes targeted Naruto's waist and abdomen. His whip kicks swept across Naruto's lower body, forcing Naruto to keep defending.
"I get it. You must be trying to avenge Sasuke." Naruto immediately realized, thinking: This Itachi guy, the one who bullied Sasuke the most in this world is clearly you. I just pricked Sasuke lightly, and you're already angry...
"Ah—" Naruto shouted and charged forward, raising his fist.
Soon, Naruto was knocked down by Itachi. However, Itachi just wanted to teach Naruto a lesson. After beating Naruto black and blue, Itachi stopped.
"I'll let the matter of you stabbing Sasuke go on behalf of him." At this time, Naruto was lying on the ground, and Itachi, transformed into Sasuke's appearance, was straddling Naruto. Itachi stopped his fist halfway.
Naruto said proudly with a bruised face, "I'll let you return to Konoha and live with Sasuke in Konoha. From now on, you'll have to listen to me."
"There's one condition." Itachi, transformed into Sasuke's appearance, said calmly, "You must never do anything to harm Konoha."
"It's a deal." Naruto reached out his hand to Itachi.
Itachi just smiled faintly and turned away because he sensed someone was coming. He guessed it was Orochimaru.
Itachi, transformed into Sasuke's appearance, left the Valley of the End and rushed towards Orochimaru.
"Great, Sasuke, you've finally come to me." Orochimaru walked out of the darkness. Now, Orochimaru was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and it was obvious that his appearance and body shape had changed.
It appeared that Orochimaru had successfully reincarnated. He abandoned his old body, transferred his spirit to another body, and occupied someone else's body.
Itachi, transformed into Sasuke's appearance, stared fixedly at Orochimaru.
"Beautiful, truly beautiful." Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue. Under the moonlight, the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] was emitting a charming red light.
Orochimaru was very sure that the person in front of him was Sasuke because these Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] couldn't be fake. Only the real Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] could make him infatuated.
Orochimaru thought: Sasuke's pupil power has obviously become stronger. Compared with before, his eyes have changed a lot. It seems a bit familiar... These gorgeous eyes will be mine in the future.
Three years! Just wait for another three years!
I'll be able to use Living Corpse Reincarnation[b]Living Corpse Reincarnation[/b] again. Then I can take Sasuke's body and obtain the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b].
Orochimaru began to envision the glorious future.
However, he soon noticed something was wrong. Orochimaru realized that he couldn't control his body.
Orochimaru panicked and thought: Why? Could there have been an accident with the Living Corpse Reincarnation[b]Living Corpse Reincarnation[/b]? Did I fail to occupy this new body successfully? Why can't I move suddenly... What on earth went wrong...
Soon, Orochimaru finally found the problem. Cold sweat broke out on Orochimaru's forehead, and he looked at Sasuke in front of him in fear.
Sasuke's eyes blazed with an ever - intensifying red light.
