In the face of dozens of big white snakes rushing towards him, Payne didn't panic, and his left hand holding the black rod quickly stabbed forward continuously, and each time it stabbed on the bodies of these big white snakes.

"Impossible!"

These white orochis made the sound of a large snake pill from their mouths, and after being hit by Payne, they curled up together and re-condensed into a large snake pill.

It's just that the Great Snake Pill looked very embarrassed at this time, not only was he held in mid-air by Payne's right hand, but there were also a few more holes in his body that were bleeding. These holes were apparently just poked out by Payne with a black stick.

At this moment, Payne's hand holding Orochimaru began to freeze. Payne frowned and threw Orochimaru's body out fiercely.

Orochimaru flipped several times in the air, and finally stabilized his body and stopped.

Looking at the black stick on Payne's left hand, Orochimaru asked gloomily, "What kind of weapon is this, it can actually hit my illusion clone." ”

Payne didn't answer Orochimaru, but just looked at the other party calmly and said, "Tell me your choice, join or die." ”

The black rod in Payne's hand is a substance that uses the power of the reincarnation eye and combines it with yin and yang.

This substance can damage the illusion body composed of the Yin Escape Chakra, which can not only be used as a weapon, but more importantly, it can be used as the chakra sensor of the six paths of Payne, which is the key to Nagato's domination of the six paths of Payne. But all this, Payne naturally won't explain it to Orochimaru.

Hearing Payne's words, Orochimaru fell silent.

Although he was very confident in his own strength, and the power in the curse seal had not yet been used, Orochimaru clearly felt that the enemy in front of him was completely different from his previous opponents!

This man with an extraordinary pupil blood inheritance limit seems to have reached a higher level among ninjas.

After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru's expression changed from gloomy to playful. Licking his tongue, Orochimaru asked with interest, "It's not impossible to join, but I need to know what the purpose of your organization is." ”

Whether it's joining this organization or looking for an opportunity to escape, Orochimaru must at least understand the purpose of the other organization.

"Collect all the tailed beasts and rule the ninja world with absolute power!" Payne said lightly. His tone was very plain, as if it was a very simple thing that could be done.

"Interesting, interesting!" Orochimaru laughed.

After laughing for half a minute, Orochimaru stopped, looked at Payne and said slowly, "I'm joining!" ”

Hearing that Payne's purpose was to rule the ninja world by collecting all the tailed beasts, Orochimaru felt that this was also a rare opportunity for him.

His current 'Liangyi Curse Seal' has only sealed one Guardian Crane's Yin Escape Chakra, and he also wants to use the power of this organization to seize more Tailed Beasts' power.

For the Shouhe who had just been strangled, Orochimaru not only did not feel pity at this time, but was very happy. If Shouhe is discovered by the other party, not only will he be taken away by the other party, but he will also reveal that he is also collecting tailed beasts.

And for the sake of safety, Orochimaru also decided not to easily use the Liangyi Curse Seal in front of the members of the Xiao Organization, in case they found clues.

Seeing that Orochimaru agreed to join the organization, Payne put away the black stick and threw something to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru took it, opened his palm and saw that it was a ring engraved with the word 'empty'.

"With this ring, you're a full member of the Akatsuki organization. From now on, your partner is the Scorpion. ”

......

Yusuke, on the other side, still doesn't know that Orochimaru has joined the Akatsuki organization in advance, and is ready to use the power of the Akatsuki organization to collect tailed beasts.

At this time, he was fighting against the flowing blade in the spiritual world, cultivating his soul power in this way.

The flowing blade that turned into a human form was still domineering, and each knife opened and closed with incredible power, and the flames on the weapon slashed and hunted with each of its slashes.

And in the face of the powerful offensive of the flowing blade, Yusuke can still only stand left and right, difficult to parry, and the sound of flowing blades is constantly ringing in his ears.

"Control the spiritual pressure and concentrate the spiritual pressure on the weapon!"

"Don't just focus on defense, look for opportunities to attack!"

"You're the worst class I've ever had!"

With a clang, the weapon in Yusuke's hand was broken in response to the sound of the flowing blade, and he was also slashed out by the powerful impact.

Feeling that Yusuke's remaining pupil power was not much, the flowing blade said lightly: "That's it for today." ”

After a few months of practicing, Yusuke could clearly feel the strength of his soul increase.

The most direct benefit is that the power of the pupil has been improved, and originally in the spiritual world, Yusuke could only hold on for about ten minutes, but now he can almost hold on for fifteen minutes.

In addition, Yusuke has increased his energy, and now Yusuke sleeps less than before, but he is less likely to get tired on weekdays, and his mental concentration has also improved.

In addition to soul power, Yusuke's other gain is the improvement of swordsmanship. The school of swordsmanship used by Flowing Blade is called 'Genryu', and it was created by Yamamoto Motoyanagi Shigekuni, the former owner of Flowing Blade.

Under the teaching of the flowing blade, Yusuke is also constantly learning the swordsmanship of 'Genryu'. The most important thing in this genre's swordsmanship is the control of spiritual pressure, relying on spiritual pressure to enhance the power of sword moves.

Glancing at the broken sword in his hand, Yusuke asked Flowing Blade Wakahuo, "When do you think I'll be able to learn the Swastika?" ”

Flowing Blade shook his head: "It's far from time, and the power of the swastika is not something your current soul can grasp. ”

"However, when you can support the battle in the spirit world for half an hour, you can almost try the first form of my swastika solution!"

After completing his training that day, Yusuke secretly left Konoha Village and came to an abandoned shrine.

There is a whirlpool-shaped symbol on the roof beam of this abandoned shrine, which is the shrine of the former whirlpool clan.

Hidden here is an artifact that has been passed down through the generations of the Vortex Clan, the Mask of Death.

The Grim Reaper Mask has a mystical connection to the Grim Reaper, and when a ninja wears the Grim Reaper Mask, they can summon the Grim Reaper even without using the Ghoul Sealing Technique.

In the original book, Orochimaru summoned the god of death through the mask of death, and then cut open the stomach of the god of death and released the souls of the first to fourth generations of Hokage, and restored his hands.

Slowly walking into the dilapidated shrine, Yusuke finds a wall covered in masks.

Nearly a hundred grimace masks with different expressions hung on the walls, which seemed to have been specially arranged to hide the real Grim Reaper's mask.

However, for Yusuke, who has strong mental power, the Grim Reaper mask that exudes the breath of the soul is like a firefly in the darkness in these masks, and it can be recognized at a glance.

"Is this the Mask of Death?" Yusuke slowly took off the mask of the firstborn's grimaceous smile and looked closely.

Yusuke once mentioned the god of death in the Hokage world to Flowing Blade Wakahu, and he was also very interested in it. After all, it used to be a weapon belonging to the god of death in the corpse soul world, and he was also a little curious about the god of death in the Hokage world.

However, after hearing Yusuke's description, Flowing Blade Wakaho believes that the Shinigami of the Hokage World is not a god who really controls the life and death of the living beings in the Hokage World, but is more like a powerful monster that feeds on souls.

As for the opinion of the flowing blade, Yusuke thinks about it but feels very reasonable. After all, when Orochimaru cut the stomach of this god of death in the original book, he only released the souls of several Hokage and Orochimaru's hands that were sealed by the ghoul sealing technique. It shows that this so-called Grim Reaper controls only the soul sealed by the ghoul sealing technique.

From this point of view, the ghoul sealing is more like a kind of psychic technique, in which the caster sacrifices his soul to channel the god of death and uses the god of death to harvest the soul of the enemy.

In Yusuke's plan, it was the idea of using the power of death to complete the 'Reverse Liangyi Curse'. The Grim Reaper itself is a pure soul form, and feeds on souls, and is itself composed of a very pure Yin Escape Chakra, which is very likely to meet the requirements of the spell seal for Yin Escape materials.

"Although I have confirmed with the Flowing Blade Ruohuo, as a slashing sword, it can slash and kill spirit monsters like gods. But the strength of the Grim Reaper cannot be assessed yet, and if I am not an opponent after being summoned, then it will be unclear that I will die. ”

Yusuke thought about it, and to be on the safe side, he put the Grim Reaper mask into the storage scroll. It was decided that before being sure, there would be no rush to summon the Grim Reaper for the time being.

......

The next day, Yusuke arrives at the 'Poor Spring Tea House', which is also Yusuke's favorite teahouse in Konoha Village.

"Huh? It's you. At this time, Yusuke unexpectedly found the girl waitress he had met.

At this time, the girl was wearing a floral apron, and her light gray hair was still two braids on her shoulders, looking playful and cute.

The girl was also overjoyed when she saw Yusuke, and ran up in small steps.

"Yusuke-sama, long time no see!"

Yusuke also smiled and said, "Haven't you become a ninja, why did you come back to work as a waiter in a teahouse." ”

Hearing Yusuke's words, although the girl was still smiling, there was a faint sadness in her eyes: "Ninja, it's really not for me." ”

"When I was a child, I always looked forward to the heroic ninja adults, hoping that one day I would become a ninja that everyone admired."

"But after actually carrying out the mission, I realized the cruelty of the ninja world."

From the girl's mouth, Yusuke learned that she turned out to be his disciple Itachi's former teammate, named Inari Shinko.

In the mission where Itachi opened the Sharingan, captain Yuki Mizuki and teammate Izumo Tenma were killed in battle, while Inari Shinko was also seriously injured and recuperated for several months before recovering.

Feeling the cruelty of the ninja world, Shinko Inari realizes that she doesn't have the talent to become a ninja, so she gives up the path of a ninja and returns to the teahouse to work as a waiter.

"I don't have the talent of Itachi, and I can't accept the fact that my partner died in front of my eyes, maybe this teahouse is the most suitable place for me!" Chatting and chatting, Inari Shinko seemed to be stuck in some bad memories.

Inari Shinko, who came back to her senses, saw that Yusuke was patiently listening to her words, and suddenly became embarrassed, and hurriedly said with red cheeks: "I'm sorry, Yusuke-sama, for wasting so much time listening to me, a little girl, complain." ”

Yusuke smiled and shook his head, signaling that she didn't care.

The two didn't talk for long, and Inari Shinko continued to work as a waitress.

Looking at the busy figure of the girl, Yusuke picked up the little tea left in his hand and drank it all, but his heart was full of thoughts.

"The five major powers, the Xiao organization, countless small independent countries, and Obito and others who are hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity."

"The world is really chaotic, but it is extremely cruel."

"And if you come here with such a powerful force as the Flowing Blade Ruohuo, can you do anything for this world?"
