Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

#200 - Chapter 200: Capturing the Tailed Beast Kotoamatsukami (3)

Since the death of Yagura, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure and the Fourth Mizukage, the tailed beast within him, the Three-Tails, also died.

Fortunately, tailed beasts cannot be killed except through sealing, and it wasn't long before it revived.

As for its revival location, Kirigakure naturally knew.

Because after the Sage of Six Paths created the nine tailed beasts, he found them habitats, and those places became the homes of the tailed beasts.

And this lake is the habitat that the Sage of Six Paths chose for the Three-Tails.

However, even knowing that the Three-Tails had revived, Kirigakure still had no intention of capturing it again.

The reason is simple: Kirigakure no longer has the strength to capture and seal tailed beasts.

The current Kirigakure is even more pitiful than Sunagakure.

Sunagakure has always been poor, but Kirigakure is different.

It clearly possesses the powerful Three Great Bloodline Limit clans and powerful ninja groups like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but after the internal chaos within Kirigakure, the Three Great Bloodline Limit clans were uprooted, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also defected one after another, leading to Kirigakure being plagued by internal and external troubles.

If it weren't for Kirigakure having the same geographical advantages as Sunagakure, it's likely that Kirigakure would have been eaten clean by the other major ninja villages long ago.

However, although they don't have the ability to capture tailed beasts, Kirigakure still sent people to station themselves at the lake where the Three-Tails resides.

After all, the Three-Tails was exchanged from the First Hokage with a large amount of funds by Kirigakure. If it were captured by someone else, it would be a great loss.

Unfortunately, how could these Kirigakure ninjas stationed here be a match for Orochimaru? In just over ten minutes, these people disappeared silently.

On the misty shore, Rasa and Black Zetsu only waited here for a short while.

Orochimaru's figure walked out of the forest behind them, with a hint of excitement on his face.

Although his hands cannot be used, some of Orochimaru's jutsu are still easy to use against these ninjas.

"Did you take care of it?"

"Yes!"

Orochimaru nodded.

At this time, Black Zetsu's figure slowly merged into the ground.

"I have completed the agreement and brought you here. What happens next has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, his figure completely disappeared.

Orochimaru looked at it with great interest.

He had already seen that this guy named Zetsu was not simple and was not just the unremarkable intelligence agent he had imagined.

"Since that's the case, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, Rasa and Orochimaru slowly stepped onto the surface of the lake.

In about ten minutes, the two had already arrived at the center of the lake.

The surrounding area was filled with mist.

Whether it was Rasa or Orochimaru, they could feel the huge chakra mixed in the mist.

Orochimaru looked around, then put his hand into the water, his yellow snake eyes staring under the water.

"It should be here. I can feel the huge chakra of the Three-Tails."

Rasa naturally sensed it too.

"Next, it's up to you, Orochimaru?"

The reason why Rasa chose Orochimaru as a partner was, of course, because he valued some of this guy's talents, which could save Rasa a lot of trouble.

"Hehehe! Leave it to me!"

As soon as the words fell, Orochimaru took out a scroll. After opening it, a glass test tube appeared, with purple liquid flowing inside.

"What is this?"

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly.

"A kind of poison I researched, specially used to deal with tailed beasts, which can make their emotions agitated."

After saying that, a small white snake crawled out of Orochimaru's sleeve, bit the test tube, and dived into the water.

"Alright, next, what we have to do is wait."

After doing everything, Orochimaru elegantly stood up again, looked at Rasa, and said with interest.

"It may take some time for the medicine to take effect, Rasa-kun. I wonder if I can ask you a question?"

"Ask away!"

"Hehehe, why did Rasa-kun choose me?"

Rasa naturally understood what Orochimaru meant, and looked at the calm lake surface and said lightly.

"It's very simple, Orochimaru, because you are not someone who submits to fate!"

"!?"

Orochimaru was slightly surprised.

"As a good friend of Jiraiya, you should have heard of his prophecy, right?"

"Ah..."

Orochimaru seemed to have thought of something and responded softly.

"In my opinion, you and Jiraiya are two extremes. You are someone who does not submit to fate, but Jiraiya is someone driven by fate. His whole life is spent searching for the so-called child of prophecy."

Speaking of this, Rasa suddenly changed the subject and said.

"Orochimaru, do you believe in fate?"

A gleam flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he slowly said.

"Rasa-kun, what is the fate you are talking about?"

Rasa thought for a while and gave an answer.

"Orochimaru, the reason why you contacted Sasuke and took him away from Konoha is to take over his body through Impure World Reincarnation, right! Then if I tell you, the so-called fate is: no matter what efforts you make, you will never succeed in taking over Sasuke's body, and instead, everything you do will only complete Uchiha Sasuke!"

Under Orochimaru's slightly horrified and disbelieving gaze, Rasa slowly turned his head and looked at Orochimaru.

"From the moment you witnessed the power of Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan, and were subdued and had your arm cut off by him using genjutsu, your fate was already sealed."

In that instant, Orochimaru suddenly felt cold all over, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Because he suddenly realized it.

Indeed!

Ever since he saw the power of Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan in the Akatsuki organization, and was defeated by the young Itachi, he seemed to be a little too obsessed with the power of the Uchiha clan.

This seems normal, the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan is so powerful.

However, now that I think about it, something feels wrong everywhere.

Because Orochimaru is not ignorant of the Sharingan, and even studied the Sharingan in depth.

After all, the Sharingan on Danzo's arm was transplanted by him.

He certainly knows the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, but it shouldn't make him so obsessed to the point of treating that power as: God!

At this moment, sensing the changes in Orochimaru's chakra, Rasa also sensed something and said with some surprise.

"I see... Orochimaru... you've been set up!?"

Hearing Rasa's murmur, Orochimaru, who was completely feeling uneasy, asked hesitantly.

"Rasa-kun, have you discovered something?"

"Ah..."

Rasa softly said the words that made Orochimaru break out in a cold sweat.

"Orochimaru, haven't you noticed that you have already fallen into some kind of genjutsu? And if I'm not mistaken, this should be the power of Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan: Kotoamatsukami!"
