Chapter 590: The Resurrection in Progress

Besides the Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan, there was actually another extremely important and indispensable condition.

That was for a sufficiently powerful expert to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and accept the powerful Chakra that had been gathered.

Originally, Black Zetsu’s plan did not need to consider this point, because if his plan were completed, the person who completed the plan would naturally possess this condition.

But on Nagasawa’s side, it was of course impossible to sacrifice the powerful people on the Konoha side to resurrect Kaguya.

Originally, he had planned to exploit a bug to revive Madara and make use of him once.

However, Orochimaru had volunteered and requested to use his own body to serve as the candidate.

Orochimaru’s reason was curiosity. He wanted to personally experience this rare opportunity.

"Directly assimilating one body into another person’s body. When the time comes, whether I become an Otsutsuki or the Otsutsuki becomes me, it will be very interesting."

Although Orochimaru’s current body had cost him a great deal of effort and could even be said to have reached the level he had dreamed of a few years ago.

But Orochimaru’s horizons were no longer what they used to be. The Hashirama cells that he had once painstakingly researched but could not decipher were now nothing special in his eyes.

He already had a research plan for a new body. Once successful, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap, so using this old body for some waste utilization was also good.

Faced with Orochimaru’s request, Nagasawa readily agreed.

Although exploiting a bug to revive Madara was not impossible, doing so was indeed somewhat cruel.

When Madara was revived, he would think that his plan had already succeeded, that he would become the second Six Paths Sage, and that he would create a peaceful world without war.

In terms of the result, it had indeed succeeded, but not completely.

He had indeed been revived, and he had indeed become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

But he was only going through the motions, and would soon be replaced to resurrect Kaguya.

Since the Tailed Beasts had already been moved by Nagasawa through reason and emotion earlier, there were no interruptions during the process of resurrecting the Ten-Tails, and it was completed very smoothly.

Next, it was Orochimaru’s turn to enter the stage, absorb the Ten-Tails, and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was not a simple matter. One had to possess extremely strong strength and willpower to control the Ten-Tails, rather than become a monster controlled by its power.

Orochimaru’s willpower was naturally extremely strong. It could be said that he was almost inhuman.

In terms of strength, Orochimaru’s body was even stronger than Obito’s in the original story.

Because Orochimaru’s body had withstood the erosion of the inferior Otsutsuki cells extracted from Nagato, his strength had been greatly enhanced.

"Is this the power of the Six Paths Sage..." Orochimaru, who had become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, lightly clenched his fist and felt the indescribably terrifying power within his body.

The word "weak" had been far removed from Orochimaru ever since he entered the Ninja Academy.

At school, he had been an outstanding student, a strong person among the students.

After graduating and becoming a ninja, he had also become a legendary ninja, a strong person among ninjas.

But only after realizing what true power was did Orochimaru feel that he was fragile, that his life was fragile.

So fragile that if Nagasawa wanted to kill him, he would not even need a second sword.

Before Nagasawa, there was not much difference between him and an ordinary person who had never cultivated. Both were weaklings who would die with a single swing of the sword.

Even after successfully deciphering the Hashirama cells, succeeding with the Mangekyo experiments, and creating what he had previously considered a perfect body, he still felt that he was weak before Nagasawa.

But now, feeling the ocean-like power within his body, Orochimaru had a thought.

’Am I still considered weak before Nagasawa now?’

The power obtained after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was even stronger than Orochimaru had imagined. Now he felt that he only needed a thought to directly destroy a so-called great nation.

"How does it feel?" Nagasawa looked at Orochimaru, who had developed the characteristics of the Otsutsuki clan, and asked with interest.

He did not know what connection the Ten-Tails had with the Otsutsuki clan. It seemed that upon becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, one would possess characteristics similar to those of the Otsutsuki clan.

"Very good. I feel better than I ever have before." Orochimaru smiled evilly and licked his lips.

"So good that it makes me not want to come out of this body anymore."

"Although it isn’t impossible, for your own safety, I wouldn’t really recommend doing that." Nagasawa said with a cheerful smile.

Who knew what would happen to Orochimaru’s soul after Kaguya was resurrected in Orochimaru’s body?

Would it be squeezed into a corner of the body? Or would it be mercilessly crushed by Kaguya?

"Indeed." Orochimaru put away his evil smile and nodded.

Although Orochimaru was not lacking in the courage to take risks, he still cherished his life very much. Otherwise, he would not have developed so many Ninjutsu for preserving his life.

Damage to the soul was much harder to repair than damage to the body.

Strengthening the soul was even more difficult. At present, the only method Orochimaru had for steadily and continuously increasing the power of his soul was the Shinigami system cultivation method provided by Nagasawa.

Orochimaru was ultimately Orochimaru. Although he had become slightly inflated in his heart after suddenly obtaining Six Paths-level strength, he quickly regained his senses.

Nagasawa would never do something he was not confident in. It was probably the case that even with his current strength, Nagasawa was confident he could quickly take him down.

"The stronger one becomes, the more one can feel the terrifying nature of you, Nagasawa." Orochimaru sighed, then began using a forbidden technique to detach his soul from his body.

Clearly, he was already so powerful that he could destroy a nation with a single thought, and destroying the world was not impossible as long as he wished for it.

But even with such strength, he still could not see the limits of Nagasawa.

Monster. Orochimaru could only describe him as a monster.

"I just use other people’s resting time to cheat." Nagasawa said something Orochimaru could not quite understand.

In the past, after Orochimaru’s soul left his body, he had to quickly enter another body. But now that his soul had become much stronger, he did not need to be so hurried, so Orochimaru continued observing the changes in his body in his soul state.

"Black Zetsu, it’s your turn." Nagasawa said.

After a thousand years of planning, it was finally going to be realized. Even Black Zetsu, that old schemer, was a little excited.

Several thousand years. It was finally time to complete his mission and resurrect his mother.

Even though the process was different from what he had planned, as long as the result was good, that was enough.

Black Zetsu impatiently entered Orochimaru’s body and began performing the technique to resurrect Kaguya. Orochimaru’s body quickly turned black, as if a white sheet of paper had been soaked in ink.

Just then, a figure dressed in a white robe suddenly appeared at the scene, causing Black Zetsu to reveal a hateful expression and Orochimaru to become surprised.
