Orochimaru, who had just been taught a lesson by Pain, now wore a sinister smile.
Things were getting more and more interesting.
He spent a great deal of time meticulously examining every single dark room and, most importantly, the main cave, not missing a single detail.
After a thorough triple-check,
and carefully identifying all the items,
Orochimaru's findings were as follows:
A large number of body tissues from various White Zetsu, deactivated Hashirama cells flesh, fragments of young hair, fragments of old hair, fragmented tissue of an unknown creature similar to the Eight-Tails but more complex, and various miscellaneous everyday items.
Looking at the neatly arranged test tubes before him, Orochimaru was very excited.
This process of deciphering held a fatal attraction for Orochimaru.
The Akatsuki Organization, it seems, still held many secrets!
After leaving some items behind, Orochimaru packed up the rest and sent them back.
Next, it was time for decryption.
After summoning another large snake, it spat out two unconscious ordinary people.
Other people's lives were not lives; having experienced war, Orochimaru had long lost reverence for life.
Just preparing sacrifices for Manda, Orochimaru's hands were already stained with countless amounts of blood.
After carefully arranging the tiny fragments of hair he had kept, Orochimaru began to form hand signs.
"Edo Tensei!"
Let me see who you truly are.
Dust condensed from the void covered the two unconscious people, growing thicker and thicker.
The two unconscious ordinary people woke up, letting out agonizing and despairing wails.
Orochimaru remained unmoved, his eyes filled with excitement, his long tongue stretched out, licked around, and then retracted.
Gradually, the dust covered the two, and the wailing stopped.
Two new figures slowly began to emerge.
However, one of them immediately shattered, once again revealing the ordinary person inside, who was now completely bruised and undeniably dead.
That young man failed!
Was he sealed?
Or is he still alive to this day?
The other figure gradually became clearer: spiky black hair and full armor, very popular during the Sengoku period.
It wasn't until his face fully appeared that
Orochimaru's pupils slightly contracted.
A big catch!
Having experienced the power of Senju Hashirama, Orochimaru naturally knew the value of the Ninja World's Asura, who was equally famous.
Uchiha Madara's eyes were tightly closed at this moment, as the Chakra reaction was pitifully low with an ordinary person as the Impure World body.
But even so, Orochimaru could still feel the aura of looking down upon the Ninja World emanating from him.
This was Madara's inherent temperament from years of battle, unrelated to his strength or current state.
Orochimaru was extremely excited, imagining the scene when he would control two super-sized combatants, Hashirama on his left and Madara on his right.
Even Pain wouldn't be able to stop them!
However, Yuuki's image immediately appeared in Orochimaru's mind, and the excitement that had just risen quickly receded like a tide.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara alone could not possibly defeat Uchiha Tomoki; there was still a long way to go.
It wasn't that Orochimaru thought Yuuki was stronger than Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara combined; if both were at their peak, either of them should be able to fight Uchiha Tomoki and emerge victorious.
Having personally experienced the immense power of Senju Hashirama, Orochimaru, while also feeling that Yuuki's strength was unfathomable, believed that Uchiha Madara, as the strongest of the Uchiha Clan, would not be weaker than Yuuki, and might even be stronger.
But to unleash the full power of both of them?
That was absolutely impossible for Orochimaru!
Power that could not be completely controlled was as good as no power at all.
Having endured Manda's temper since childhood, Orochimaru was unwilling for anything he summoned not to be fully under his control.
After the initial excitement wore off, Orochimaru decided to recall Madara.
As for awakening Madara and asking for information about this place?
Under such crude conditions, Orochimaru wouldn't even consider it; Madara was Reanimated through an ordinary person, theoretically making his strength extremely weak.
However, the cautious Orochimaru, coupled with his understanding of Edo Tensei, would not blindly believe in the power of the jutsu and think he could easily control Uchiha Madara.
The probability of controlling Uchiha Madara with Edo Tensei was only 98%; how was that any different from having no restrictions?
Didn't he see that Senju Tobirama, whom he was 99% sure he could control, had already broken free?
Without 99% certainty, Orochimaru would absolutely not awaken Uchiha Madara; he was not Tsunade and disliked gambling with such low odds.
