That's why he needs eternal life.
There was a technique that he cared about a lot, which could even be considered a different kind of immortality.
That is the Impure World Reincarnation technique developed by the Second Hokage.
The souls of the dead are summoned back from the underworld, and the living are sacrificed to them.
This is an extremely evil and despicable technique. Tobirama Senju used this technique and was despised by the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and others.
Orochimaru studied this technique for a period of time, and in his opinion...
This is an extremely useless technique; the summoned ninja is not much stronger than the living person used as a sacrifice.
He only absorbed a portion of the knowledge and used it in his own method of achieving immortality.
but now……
Perhaps... this is our trump card for a future counterattack!
Yes, Orochimaru has already decided that he will lose this battle against Uchiha Kagami.
It's not just his own judgment.
The old man said more than once that only the First Hokage could defeat Madara Uchiha.
A white snake slithered out from Orochimaru's sleeve, swallowed the entire Scroll of the Sealing Book, and then vanished with a bang.
He stared silently at the empty space and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
“Old man, I can’t do what you did and die for this village.”
"Survival is the most important thing, and there are still so many interesting things waiting for me."
"but……"
"No matter what, I've become Hokage. At least I'll stay here with my life."
A dimly lit corridor.
Danzo waited, leaning on his cane.
Orochimaru stopped and looked at him, somewhat impatiently.
"What are you trying to say now?"
"I'm not an old man who will always indulge you!"
Danzo sneered: "We conducted Wood Release research together. Hiruzen tolerated me, but didn't he tolerate you?"
"If you're going to spout this nonsense, please leave."
Orochimaru walked past without expression.
"Orochimaru, only Wood Release can deal with the Sharingan."
"The time is not right yet. If Uchiha Kagami really reaches the level of Madara back then..."
"We can lie in wait and continue to study Wood Release. Sooner or later, we can create a Wood Release ninja as powerful as the First Hokage!"
Orochimaru stopped, his cold, serpentine eyes fixed on Danzo.
"Just like back then, are you going to back down again?"
"Heh, Danzo, you are not qualified to cooperate with me."
"You don't deserve to live either."
"Let me be blunt: if I win, your best outcome will be imprisonment."
“If Uchiha Kagami wins, I will tell him all your information. Do you think the Uchiha clan… will let you go?”
"Don't even think about hiding, Danzo."
"Without the village's protection, you won't even be able to get past Sakumo Hatake."
"You think I'm a coward who's afraid of death?!"
Danzo's face trembled slightly, filled with extreme anger.
Orochimaru slowly walked away, his indifferent voice drifting back.
"Think what you want, it doesn't matter."
"The old man needs your shadow, but I don't."
"The so-called Hokage..."
"Not only the light of the village, but also the darkness of the village."
Thirty kilometers from Konoha.
Ninjas moved through the dense forest, their unintentional release of killing intent startling birds into flight and causing beasts to crouch.
At the head of the group, Uchiha Kagami was dressed in dark blue with the Uchiha clan crest embroidered on his back.
Sleeve White Snow and long sword Narumi hung at his waist.
Among the Uchiha clansmen following closely behind, Shinka's aged eyes were slightly moist.
When he was just old enough to remember things, he leaned against his mother's chest and pointed to the person walking away in the sunset.
"Who is that?"
He still remembers his mother's answer.
“That is our clan leader, Uchiha Madara.”
"The hero who led us from the Warring States period to peace..."
"Where is he going?"
His mother hugged him tightly, tears wetting his cheeks.
"Mom doesn't know... but Mom can't go with him..."
Mom... I already have you.
The Uchiha clan is reluctant to let go of this hard-won peace.
Shenhuo's mother died during a mission.
He later learned that... his mother could have survived if she had received timely medical attention...
However, because she was a member of the Uchiha clan, even ninjas with less severe injuries received treatment earlier than her.
Wipe away the moisture from the corners of your eyes.
Did you see that?
This boy gave me the answer.
The Uchiha clan doesn't need to go anywhere.
Konoha is the hometown of the Uchiha clan.
Our hometown.
As the outline of the village came into view.
Uchiha Kagami's lips gradually curled upwards, and he smiled heartily.
As he moved, he clasped his hands together, and his immense chakra seemed to materialize, stirring up a whirlwind.
A layer of blue-purple energy swirled around Uchiha Kagami's body, creating a dreamlike and illusory scene.
The earth roared as if it were being torn apart.
The crack continued to extend, tearing the barrier apart!
Flames flowed from the cracks in the ground.
Countless rocks burst forth from the ground, shaped like sharp blades.
The massive rock blade was covered with scorching magma.
In an instant, the seemingly peaceful town was transformed into a lava hell!
Dragon Vein - Earthquake Core - Cliff Sword!
Chapter 75 - The Four Symbols Seal
Sensory ninjas patrolled the area around the barrier at all times, and Konoha was on high alert, entering a state of maximum combat readiness.
But it was all in vain.
The flaming sword rising from the earth shattered their last remaining illusions.
In the end, it still came to this.
Konoha did not want the mentally unstable Uchiha to enter the upper echelons; the Uchiha wanted to be treated equally and fairly.
In fact, the Uchiha clan never even considered wanting a special status.
They are confident that they can earn their rightful place through their own abilities.
Madara Uchiha had foreseen this day would come.
Uchiha Kagami did not attempt to negotiate or issue a challenge to Konoha.
He will do this once he has enough power.
Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? So from a young age, he deliberately distanced himself from people of other ethnicities.
I just don't want to hesitate at a time like this.
He even understood Nagato.
If he had asked Jiraiya about his ideals back then, Jiraiya's answer would have been to stop him...
Uchiha Kagami was mentally prepared to kill him.
Kagami never considered himself a good person, nor did he have any grand principles such as maintaining peace in the ninja world.
He just wanted to prevent the people he cared about from sinking into the mire of suffering in this world.
Just like I said at the beginning... Itachi Uchiha.
You and I are the only similar Uchiha.
It's just that we care about different things.
There was not much panic; under the immense crisis, the power of Konoha Village had already been united.
After several days of being out of contact with the Eastern Front, information was finally delivered by Nara Shikakumi and Uchiha Kagami.
Orochimaru, Mitomon, and the others stood on the broken wall.
Lined up in a row were thousands of Konoha ninjas.
They were all elites from various ninja clans and civilian ninjas. In a war of this magnitude, ordinary genin wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder.
Uchiha Kagami looked up and met Orochimaru's gaze, somewhat surprised, and slightly parted his lips.
"It's not the Third Hokage, it's you, Orochimaru."
Orochimaru revealed a strange smile.
"Did I disappoint you, Kagami-kun?"
Uchiha Kagami shook his head.
"No, it should be said that this is an unexpected surprise."
"That way, there won't be any need for any of the usual pre-battle exchanges."
"If it were the third generation, I bet even now he'd still be lecturing me with some grand principles."
Orochimaru's mouth stretched into a wide grin, his smile gradually becoming inhuman.
"You're right..."
"Is it the eagle pecking at the snake, or the snake devouring the fledgling?"
"It's a very simple thing!"
Orochimaru leaped out, and his body underwent a tremendous change while he was in mid-air.
