After resolving the slightest misunderstanding between the two sides, Naruto Uzumaki continued to grin while using the Outer Path Golem to restore the chakra lent to him by the Nine Tailed Beasts into the purest chakra under the care of Nagato, and tried to use these chakras without any spirit or information to awaken the Nine-Tails in his body.

Sasuke Uchiha, on the other hand, with a reluctant expression, followed behind Orochimaru, who was about to grin to the root of his ear, and was examined in order to customize a prosthetic hand that would allow him to regain his full combat strength.

"Don't look so guarded and scared, Sasuke-kun...... It's like I'm going to eat you. ”

Orochimaru said in a brisk tone as he couldn't help but smile as he drew Uchiha Sasuke's blood, and leaned down to measure the various data of the other party's broken arm.

"Isn't it, Orochimaru?"

Sasuke Uchiha frowned unaccustomed to being touched by the section of his left hand, and asked as calmly as he could.

"Well, it looks like I've made a pretty bad impression on you in your world......

Orochimaru gently shook the blood collection bottle that took Uchiha Sasuke's blood, and didn't care about the strange eyes of others, licked it with his tongue on the needle used to take blood, and then continued to smile and say:

"But judging by your previous actions, our relationship is not just bad...... Can you still recall how you felt when you activated the Celestial Curse Seal, Sasuke-kun? ”

"That kind of thing, along with your ambition to devour me, was all buried by me and Itachi," Uchiha Sasuke looked at Orochimaru who was staring at the side of his neck with a cold expression, "Besides, the so-called curse mark is just a clumsy imitation of immortal arts, even if it is the curse mark of the sky, it can't be compared to the real immortal mode...... At this time, what do you do when you mention that kind of thing? ”

"You're right, even the Heavenly Curse Seal is just a degraded version of the Immortal Mode."

Orochimaru smiled playfully, put Uchiha Sasuke's blood on the reagent rack on the side, and then asked rhetorically in an intriguing tone while activating a petri dish that cultured intercolumnar cells:

"But is that really all it has, Sasuke-kun?"

"What do you want to say?"

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, and inevitably recalled the scene when he used Orochimaru's body from the Heavenly Curse Seal on Mitarai Red Bean to resurrect Orochimaru, who should have been sealed forever by Itachi and destroyed his body and soul.

"You've seen the ninjas of the Otsuki clan, don't you think that the forbidden art of the Heavenly Curse Seal has partially touched their mysteries?"

Orochimaru turned his head and asked with a look of awe-inspiring pride.

“…… Wedge? ”

Listening to the words that Uchiha Sasuke gently spit out in an extremely solemn tone after being silent for a moment, Orochimaru licked his cheeks very happily, and said to himself with a sneer:

"After the mercy revealed to me that the Otsuki clan was able to transform their information and chakra into a special form of existence called a 'wedge' when their bodies were destroyed, and continued to be reincarnated and resurrected, I have been thinking about the difference between the 'wedge' that can carry all their information and power and my Heavenly Curse Seal......

"Is there a difference in the level of strength? Or is there a difference in the choice of reincarnation containers? I thought about it for a long time, and even when I was reincarnated in the artificial body I am now, I took the initiative to let the 'wedge' of the Otsuki Kaguya himself observe the whole process on the sidelines, hoping to find the difference between the two techniques. ”

But the answer that the mercy gentleman gave me was not fundamentally different...... Ah, can you understand the surprise and trembling I felt at that time, Sasuke-kun? ”

Uchiha Sasuke gasped lightly, and finally looked at Orochimaru in front of him again, with extremely solemn, serious, and even somewhat admiring eyes.

Is there really any essential difference between the Great Snake Pill who realizes the resurrection through his own body and the Heavenly Curse Mark that has selected the container, and the Great Barrel Wood Clansman who completely records his own information and chakra through the technique of "wedge", and slowly thaws, revives, seizes, and resurrects in a qualified container?

No.

They are all just resurrected beings from the chakra information recorded in the heavenly curse seal/wedge, or in other words, they have all transformed their own life forms into the "information" that resides in the chakra.

As long as the chakra that belongs to them continues, their "life" will not end;

As long as these messages can find the next container that can carry them, they will always be able to revisit them again.

"What the hell are you ...... What has he turned into himself, Orochimaru? ”

"Instead of asking me this kind of question, you should think about it, for those big barrels of wood who can cross the starry sky and use the wedge technique to live forever, what really matters is whether it is the chakra fruit that gathers all the creatures on the earth, the chakra, or the information that belongs to that planet that is recorded in the chakra."

Orochimaru entered the data he had just measured into the petri dish of the intercolumn cells, and then injected some of Uchiha Sasuke's blood into the petri dish, and then said to Uchiha Sasuke with a wicked smile:

"Except for the Otsuki Kaguya, which originally existed as the guardian and sacrifice of the Otsuki Ichiki, at least one Shiki, the two members of the Otsuki clan, the Peach Shiki, should all be beings who have devoured the chakra fruit...... But in their battles with you, did they really show strength that was far superior to that of Kaguya Otsuki? ”

"I'm afraid not...... Otherwise, with an incomparably weak large barrel of wood Kaguya, who has the power to easily dismantle the moon into pieces, it is speculated that there is a difference between her and her in terms of level, and the state is more complete Ichi and Peach, so he should have the strength to completely destroy the entire ninja world in a short period of time, and that kind of strength is obviously not something that you and Naruto Uzumaki, two people whose strength has been stagnant for a long time, can fight against. ”

"Then since the Chakra Fruit has not allowed the Big Barrel Wood Clan to gain a leap in absolute strength, then its true meaning is probably more focused on the planetary information that can further transform their life level."

And if the information that really matters...... Then the Heavenly Curse Seal, which can also transmit information and achieve resurrection, has an infinite value that is countless times more important than improving combat effectiveness...... What do you think, Sasuke-kun? ”

Uchiha Sasuke didn't speak, just looked at Orochimaru, who opened his arms in front of him, as if telling some kind of beautiful dream, and after many years, a sense of fear for the guy in front of him was born in his heart again.

You, who have received Kaguya's near-unconditional indulgence...... What kind of monster has it become, Orochimaru?
