Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Orochimaru, not being in his true form, had limited strength. Under the immense pressure of Hagoromo Gengetsu, he could only watch helplessly as the coffin closed again and a sealing technique was placed on it, rendering him unable to move.

It's all over.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked at Sasuke, who appeared to be recovering from a serious illness, and said, "The problem with the cursed seal is completely resolved. Remember, true strength lies in your own power."

Sasuke, who had never expected that Orochimaru could be pulled out of the cursed seal on his neck, nodded heavily with lingering fear.

"Was that Orochimaru just now?" Uchiha Jun, feeling uncomfortable after being glanced at by Orochimaru, twisted his neck and said, "He didn't seem like much."

"That was just a soul clone of Orochimaru," Yu Yi Xuan Yue explained casually.

He did not destroy Orochimaru's soul clone on the spot.

After all, even if he were killed, it wouldn't affect Orochimaru's main body; it would just mean he would have one less means of resurrection.

In comparison, Orochimaru himself is still quite valuable.

In any case, no matter what Orochimaru's soul clone knows, it's impossible for it to travel thousands of miles to transmit the information to the main body.

In addition, the amount of strength that can be exerted is limited.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue doesn't mind talking to the other party more in the future.

Afterwards, Yu Yi Xuan Yue bid farewell to the three Uchiha and went to the Yu Yi clan to handle some matters. She also checked on Shen Nong and Qing Ming, one teaching medicine and the other blacksmithing. After their performance was deemed satisfactory, she began to focus on solving the problem of soul repair.

half year later.

Far from the Land of Keys, on a desolate, uninhabited land, Yu Yi Xuan Yue stood quietly.

Compared to six months ago, his appearance hasn't changed much. After all, considering his actual age based on his physical functions, he's only twenty-five years old now, right at the peak of his ninja career.

Of course, while the overall design remains unchanged, there are still some new elements.

For example, on the forehead of Yu Yi Xuan Yue, there is an extra three-strand crescent moon mark, a blue mark that is the same as the Yu Yi clan's emblem.

This is an S-rank medical sealing technique called Yin Seal, which I developed in the past six months, inspired by Tsunade.

In the original work, only women can use the Yin Seal, and because of the word "Yin," many people mistakenly believe that only women can learn the Yin Seal.

But it's not.

The Yin Seal truly tests an individual's medical skills, sealing techniques, and, most importantly, precise control of chakra.

Thanks to the extensive medical ninjutsu knowledge he acquired from Konoha six months prior, coupled with Sakura's refined chakra control talent,

With a clear idea in mind, Yu Yi Xuan Yue developed and perfected it very quickly.

Now that he possesses the Yin Seal, he can not only store a large amount of chakra for emergencies, but also keep his body functions at their peak.

It is quite remarkable that his overall strength, especially his endurance, has improved significantly after surviving his second life.

Of course, the achievements in the past six months are not limited to this.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue spent the most effort on improving the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique.

Preparations are almost complete.

It's time to take the final step and reach true peak performance.

Chapter 106: Kill the donkey after it has done its job?

A cold, fierce wind howled in, sending sand and gravel flying across the desolate ground.

The weather isn't very good today.

However, the gloomy sky was quite fitting for what was about to happen.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue thought for a moment, then stomped her foot, and a coffin covered with sealing spells rose from the ground.

The coffin lid opened, and Orochimaru skillfully stepped out, smiling as he looked at Yui Gengetsu and said, "We meet again, Yui-senpai."

After saying that, he looked around at the unfamiliar scenery and said knowingly, "So, is this the official start?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded, not surprised that Orochimaru's guess was correct.

Over the past six months, he has had many exchanges with the most capable scientist in the ninja world.

His initial plan was to forcibly search Orochimaru's brain to find information that would be useful to him, such as the complete version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

However, when Yu Yi Gengetsu actually made his move, he discovered that Orochimaru had taken exceptionally good precautions in protecting his memories.

Although his soul was divided into multiple parts, making it difficult for Orochimaru to resist powerful genjutsu, as an expert in souls, he did an exceptional job of preventing the secret from being leaked.

The secrets of the brain remain unexplored.

As for physical torture and interrogation, it was child's play for a ruthless person like Orochimaru, and Hagoromo Gengetsu had no interest in doing it.

He was originally prepared to just get rid of Orochimaru, who was completely unresponsive to reason.

However, considering that Orochimaru was an expert in the field of souls, and that he had recently encountered several soul-related problems with the Reaper Death Seal technique, he decided to give it a try and asked a few questions.

Surprisingly, Orochimaru was quite cooperative in this regard.

As long as they don't pry into his secrets, Orochimaru is quite willing to exchange insights on various aspects such as the soul, ninjutsu, and chakra with his equally talented senior, whom he considers a kindred spirit, in a scientific manner.

Seeing this, Yu Yi Xuan Yue abandoned her murderous intent.

In the time that followed, the two exceptionally talented individuals explored many topics related to the soul and chakra.

It must be admitted that Orochimaru gave him a lot of inspiration in terms of the soul, which enabled him to completely improve the Reaper Death Seal Technique in half a year.

Therefore, Hagoromo Gengetsu ignored Orochimaru's petty actions during this period.

But now.

"The Reaper Death Seal Technique, huh? I really want to see with my own eyes how you, Hagoromo-senpai, completely resolved it." Orochimaru habitually licked his lips and looked at Hagoromo Gengetsu.

After his hands were completely sealed by the old man Sarutobi, he had always wanted to study the Reaper Death Seal Technique in order to find a way to remove the seal on his hands.

Therefore, when he learned that Yu Yi Xuan Yue was researching the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, he was happy to join in and offered many useful ideas.

Unfortunately, it seems we won't be able to see it anymore.

Orochimaru spread his hands, looking innocent, and said, "Senior Hagoromo, are you going to discard me now that I've served my purpose? That's not something someone like you should do."

Although the person in front of her, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, did not show any killing intent.

But Orochimaru, whose hands were stained with too many lives, could not possibly have foreseen that Hagoromo Gengetsu was here to summon him.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, whose thoughts had been seen through, remained calm and simply said, "The coffin that sealed Orochimaru, I suppose you've already broken the spell on it. It's been lying there quietly all these days, Orochimaru, you must have had a hard time."

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a self-deprecating smile, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Hagoromo-senpai. But even so, you wouldn't take my little tricks seriously, would you?"

"You underestimate yourself, Orochimaru. Even if you're just a soul clone."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue shook her head, then suddenly brought up several key points of the improved Reaper Death Seal Technique, looking at Orochimaru with a half-smile:

"According to your plan, Orochimaru, I can indeed achieve my goal of restoring my soul. But you deliberately ignored, or rather, concealed, one point: the issue of the caster paying with their life seems to be resolved on the surface, but in reality, it's just a delay. Once I restore my soul, everything will be fine at first. But after a while, I will still be swallowed whole by the Grim Reaper."

"Orochimaru, am I right?"

Orochimaru's fake smile finally disappeared.

His golden vertical pupils gazed intently at Yu Yixuan Yue, then he shook his head and sighed:

"As expected of Senior Yu Yi!"

"As expected of you, Orochimaru."

From the very beginning, Hagoromo Gengetsu was not fooled by Orochimaru's inquisitive scientist persona.

He knew perfectly well that Orochimaru, who appeared to be human, was in reality a cold and venomous snake.

If a venomous snake doesn't bare its fangs, is it still a venomous snake?

Orochimaru's various subtle actions, ostensibly preparing for a successful escape, were actually intended to mislead Hagoromo Gengetsu.

His true killing move was hidden in the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, which he personally participated in the entire improvement process of.

Once Hagoromo Gengetsu successfully unleashes his modified Reaper Death Seal, Orochimaru won't even need to intervene; he will only face death.

Someone with slightly less knowledge, or someone who wasn't as meticulous, would very likely have been fooled by Orochimaru.

Hagoromo Gengetsu, who knew Orochimaru's true nature, did not.

Orochimaru, do you now feel that you died unjustly?

The moment the truly improved version of the Reaper Death Seal Technique was completed, the Orochimaru soul clone in front of him was no longer of any use, and Hagoromo Gengetsu had no interest in keeping this venomous snake by his side any longer.

Just to be on the safe side, it's natural to clean it up before the plan even begins.

Orochimaru calmly shook his head: "Since we lost, of course we are not wronged."

"However, if the improved version of the Reaper Death Seal is not done according to my method, but according to yours, Senior Hagoromo, have you thought about how to face the wrath of the Grim Reaper?"

The wrath of Death?

Yu Yi Gengetsu understood the deeper meaning behind Orochimaru's words.

He said calmly, “Let Him come.”

The proper way to break the Reaper Death Seal is to use the Death Mask from the Uzumaki Clan's storage hall.

Although Yu Yi Xuan Yue sent people to search for it, perhaps due to the butterfly effect, when the people she sent arrived at the storage hall, it was already a complete ruin.

Forget the masks, not a single tile was intact.

They tried to find clues, but had no leads whatsoever.

That is why Yu Yi Xuan Yue decisively chose to forge a new path.

As for whether this action will provoke the wrath of the so-called "Grim Reaper".

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was very curious about whether He would actually participate, or whether it would be just a rigid procedure as some people speculated, without any emotions or desires.

Knowing his fate was sealed, Orochimaru didn't care much about dying, since what appeared here was just a clone of his soul.
