Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Master Hashirama, Listen to My Quibble!
"Damn it!" Naruto shouted in fury, "What the hell is that expression on your face?!"
Then he launched a brutal punch at Uchiha Madara.
"Gaia Whirlwind! Gaia Flying Kick! Gaia Eightfold Strike!" Naruto yelled as he pinned down the Nine-Tails-enhanced Madara and pounded him with a heavy barrage of blows.
Soon enough, Madara once again burst apart into countless scraps of paper, floating into the air like scattered ash.
When he regenerated, Madara found Naruto's massive Ultraman Gaia form crouched right in front of him, huge glowing eyes flickering.
"See? I'm out of energy. You better struggle again, come on..."
Just then, glowing motes of light began to rise from Madara's body—
Itachi had successfully broken the Impure World Reincarnation!
Madara roared with rage, "Bastard! Just you wait! When I'm truly resurrected, I'll kill you all! Fine, I'll let you off this time!"
"The so-called Impure World Reincarnation is a technique to summon the dead," Naruto said calmly to Madara. "But there's a flaw—if the summoned knows the seals, they can cancel the summoner's control! So come, Madara, I offer you a body with immortality and unlimited chakra!"
Naruto activated his Rinnegan, casting a Genjutsu that mimicked the mechanics of Madara's Limbo clones. This wasn't just any illusion—this was his unique Rinnegan technique:
Genjutsu: Drama Puppet!
A Genjutsu capable of deceiving the body directly, ignoring the target's will—similar to the execution technique of dripping water behind a prisoner, making the body believe it's been drained of blood and triggering false death.
Drama Puppet forcibly severs the connection between consciousness and body, turning the target into a controllable puppet.
Madara, under the illusion's control, suddenly performed hand signs, slammed his palm into the ground, and roared:
"Impure World Reincarnation — Release!"
In a daze, Madara found himself once again sealed inside the body of the Impure World Reincarnation.
Madara: "...MMP!"
Elsewhere.
Thanks to the assistance of Yakushi Kabuto, who was still trapped in Itachi's Izanami, Shisui and the others completed the second task Naruto had assigned them: recovering the scroll to unseal the Reaper Death Seal in Orochimaru's old base.
Following the chakra trace Itachi left behind, the group found Sasuke.
"This is Yakushi Kabuto?" Suigetsu asked, peering into the looped illusion Kabuto was caught in. "Why does this look so nasty? That thing coming out of his stomach... it looks like a giant j..."
Everyone: "Shut up! That's too gross! Don't even say it!"
"Why are you here?" Sasuke asked with a frown.
"This is about Naruto's second task," Shisui replied with a grin.
"What task?" Sasuke's brow furrowed deeper.
"To let you vent your anger~" Shisui said playfully, glancing at Sasuke. "Anko!"
Mitarashi Anko stepped forward. "You bastards! If you hadn't promised to help with my curse mark, I wouldn't have followed you! There's still a war going on!"
"Shisui, bring the sample," he said casually.
Shisui pulled out some flesh and blood from the pouch and pressed it near Anko's curse mark.
"Hey! That's disgusting! What are you doing?!" Anko recoiled.
"Do you want your curse mark gone or not?" Shisui snapped.
Grudgingly, Anko allowed it. Shisui pressed the sample into her cursed seal and began weaving signs.
"Sealing Technique — Evil Purge Seal!"
The curse mark began to glow red hot, then flared as it absorbed the flesh sample. From the mark, a white snake slithered out and opened its mouth to release a massive serpent...
Orochimaru emerged, smiling. "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be the ones to revive me. Looks like your master really does think ahead."
"Orochimaru?!" Sasuke growled. "Why the hell did you bring him back?"
"Relax," Shisui said. "We didn't revive him for you to kill. It's just part of Naruto's plan."
"I see," Orochimaru said, glancing at Sasuke. "I saw it all in Anko's curse mark. The mark carries part of my will, derived from natural energy."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "It's not Orochimaru I hate anymore. It's... someone else."
Shisui waved his hand. "We know. That's why we're not asking you to fight him."
Orochimaru approached Kabuto's suspended body.
"How impressive," he murmured. "To achieve this..."
He extended his hand and began reabsorbing his chakra from Kabuto.
"Let's go!" Orochimaru called.
"Go where?" Sasuke asked.
"To the place where all secrets sleep," Orochimaru said with a grin.
The group followed Orochimaru to the ruins of the Uchiha compound in Konoha.
"This is...?!" Sasuke stopped in shock.
"The Uchiha Clan grounds," Shisui answered with a solemn look.
Underground, Orochimaru suddenly called out, "Jūgo, transfer your natural energy to Sasuke."
"Got it," Jūgo replied, placing a hand on Sasuke's shoulder. As he did, six White Zetsu clones burst out of Sasuke's body.
"Damn it!" one of the Zetsu screamed. "How do you even know about this?!"
"Because of my thorough research on Hashirama cells," Orochimaru said, laughing. "Your master must've known this would happen, which is why he sent you all to me."
Then, Orochimaru trapped the six Zetsu.
"Don't we need to unseal the souls trapped in the Reaper Death Seal?" Shisui asked.
"Thanks to Tobi," Orochimaru explained, "when he extracted the Fourth Hokage's soul, the seal was already broken. I only need four Zetsu now. The other two... are yours."
"Amaterasu!" Sasuke's eyes glowed red as the flames incinerated two of the White Zetsu instantly.
"Reanimation Jutsu!" Orochimaru slammed his hand onto the floor.
Scrolls and tags burst with chakra as the remaining Zetsu's bodies were wrapped in paper. Amidst their screams, four resurrected bodies emerged—
"Hiruzen Sarutobi?!" Sasuke roared, immediately punching the Third Hokage's incomplete body.
Orochimaru: "...He's not fully restored yet."
"Huh?" Hashirama blinked. "Where... what year is this?"
"Is it that ninja named Orochimaru again?" Tobirama muttered.
"What's going on here?" Hashirama turned to his younger brother.
The Third slowly reformed. "Wait, how am I alive again? Has the Reaper Death Seal been undone?!"
He glanced to his side—then let out a horrified expletive.
"F**k!"
"What's wrong, monkey?" Hashirama asked, confused. "Why are you cursing?"
Hiruzen straightened up and shouted, "Lord Hashirama! Please listen to my... I mean, my quibble! No, my explanation!"
