By the time the Kumogakure assault squad was discovered, they had already reached the outskirts near Konoha!
Konoha, Hokage Building.
"Lord Koharu, Lord Homura! This is bad! The assault squad led by the Third Raikage is already very close to Konoha!"
Yamanaka Kawahara's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
No one had expected Kumogakure's Raikage to act at such a time.
"What?!"
Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado stood up.
The assault squad led by the Third Raikage was discovered only after they had gotten so close to Konoha.
"Who else is in the Village?!"
Homura Mitokado forcefully threw off his clothes and changed into combat attire.
"Orochimaru and Tsunade, from Konohas Sannin, are here!"
Yamanaka Kawahara replied.
"Kawahara, immediately contact Orochimaru and Tsunade.
Tell them to stop the assault squad led by the Third Raikage; we'll be there soon!"
Utatane Koharu made a swift decision, intending to rush to the location of the Kumogakure assault squad as quickly as possible.
In terms of speed, no one could be faster than Orochimaru, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Now, only Orochimaru and Tsunade could stop the Raikage!
It would take some time for them to get there at their speed.
Just then, Yamanaka Kawahara's voice rang out again.
"Lord Koharu, Lord Homura, Orochimaru said that she and Tsunade are enough to intercept Kumogakure's assault squad.
Don't forget the Zero-Tails is still with her; if they can't win, she can always release the Zero-Tails."
"That's right, the Zero-Tails! How could we forget it!"
"The Zero-Tails has always been sealed by Orochimaru; we all forgot about its existence."
Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado relaxed.
They had both planned to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura having left Konoha, they were Konoha's last line of defense.
At the same time, Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, who was ready to go with her to intercept Kumogakure's assault squad.
Considering that the enemy they faced was the Third Raikage, who was known to possess the strongest shield and the strongest spear, she took out a scroll and handed it to her.
"What is this?"
Tsunade looked at the scroll in her hand.
"Forbidden Technique: Reverse Cursed Seal Blood Imprint, a necessary condition for performing the incomplete Regeneration Technique."
"Forbidden Technique?"
Tsunade had never heard of the Reverse Cursed Seal Blood Imprint Forbidden Technique before, and the Regeneration Technique was even more unheard of.
"Time is short.
What I'm about to say, I will tell you in the Genjutsu World."
Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Hikari, extended her hand to her, and said, "Hikari, pull Tsunade and me into the Tsukuyomi Genjutsu World.
I need three days in the Genjutsu World to teach Tsunade how to use the Regeneration Technique.
You can also learn it; this incomplete Regeneration Technique grants a temporary immortal body when activated."
"Mm."
Uchiha Hikari nodded, activated her Mangekyo Sharingan, and left the Eight Thousand Spears imprint on the backs of Orochimaru and Tsunade's hands.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Uchiha Hikari activated Tsukuyomi, and Orochimaru and Tsunade were pulled into the Genjutsu World without any resistance.
"Orochimaru, shouldn't you explain how many things you've hidden from me?"
Tsunade stepped forward and forcefully hugged Orochimaru's shoulder, speaking in an unfriendly tone.
She knew Orochimaru was hiding things from her, but she had hidden far too much.
Just now, she had noticed that Hikari showed no surprise at the scroll in Orochimaru's hand, clearly knowing what the scroll was and what the Forbidden Technique: Reverse Cursed Seal Blood Imprint was.
"Too tight! Are you trying to kill me?"
Orochimaru patted Tsunade's arm; she could still feel things in the Genjutsu World.
"It's your fault for hiding so much from me."
Tsunade loosened her grip a little.
"Forbidden Technique: Cursed Seal Blood Imprint is a Forbidden Technique of the Uzumaki Clan.
It creates a living Sealing Technique formula at the cost of one's own life force to kill enemies.
It is a Forbidden Technique among the Uzumaki Clan's Forbidden Techniques that harms oneself before harming the enemy."
Orochimaru then changed the subject, saying, "And Reverse Cursed Seal Blood Imprint is an even more sinister Forbidden Technique I developed based on the Cursed Seal Blood Imprint.
It can plunder the life force of any living being for one's own use.
The Reverse Cursed Seal Blood Imprint scroll stores the life force absorbed from the Zero-Tails Cells cultivated flesh, using life force as the source of power to activate the Regeneration Technique, thereby achieving a temporary immortal body."
"Zero-Tails Cells... immortal body..."
Tsunade frowned slightly.
As a master of Medical Ninjutsu, she clearly understood what an immortal body meant.
"It's not truly an immortal body.
As long as the head isn't destroyed, even the most severe body damage can regenerate, including the heart."
Orochimaru pointed at her temple and said, her tone carrying a hint of disdain for the incomplete Regeneration Technique.
From a scientific perspective, the brain is the organ that stores memories and manages the body.
However, the Ninja World has souls, which means that brain damage is irrelevant.
As long as it can regenerate, there's no need to worry about losing memories or anything, as the memory's carrier has shifted from the brain to the soul.
"Alright, even with three days in the Tsukuyomi Genjutsu World, there's not enough time to explain everything.
If there's an opportunity later, I'll let you know what I've been hiding."
Orochimaru pinched Tsunade's cheek and held Uchiha Hikari's hand, who appeared beside her.
"Hikari has Sealing Technique as her foundation, Tsunade you are proficient in Medical Ninjutsu, and Regeneration Technique requires a certain understanding of both Sealing Technique and Medical Ninjutsu to be successfully cast."
Orochimaru felt that three days might not be enough. There was no other way than to try her best to make Tsunade successfully cast the Regeneration Technique, otherwise, facing the Third Raikage would be too dangerous.
In that case, she might as well go herself!
