Naruto: Mikoto, Tsunade won't let anyone go.

Chapter 165 A Suitable Candidate As Uchiha Kakuyama spoke, he pulled out a small scroll from his robes and tossed it to Orochimaru, then continued:

"Right now, Madara Uchiha is collecting the chakra of the tailed beasts, so that he can truly reach the Six Paths level."

Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words. He had been in close contact with the legendary Uchiha Madara. Even though Madara was currently in the Impure World Reincarnation form, his strength was already at the pinnacle of the ninja world. If he were to take another step forward and become a Six Paths level powerhouse, just how powerful would he be?

However, since Orochimaru had now pledged allegiance to Uchiha Kakuzan, he naturally wouldn't refuse his request. Instead, he looked at the scroll in his hand with some suspicion and then asked:

"What's sealed inside this scroll?"

In response to Orochimaru's question, Uchiha Kakuzan blinked and said with a smile:

"Naturally, it's the final piece of the puzzle."

At this point, Uchiha Kakuyama paused slightly before continuing:

"In this world, I'm currently the only Six Paths level cultivator, which is incredibly boring. Since Madara Uchiha wants to become a Six Paths level cultivator, I naturally want to lend him a hand."

However, if I were to personally deliver this last piece of the puzzle to him, given Madara Uchiha's personality, it might arouse his suspicion.

And you, Orochimaru, are the best candidate.

To be fair, Uchiha Kakuyama went to great lengths.

After all, due to their own actions, Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu's plans had long since fallen apart.

Even Obito Uchiha was almost crippled by him.

Even if Madara Uchiha has been resurrected, it would still be extremely difficult for him to bypass Uchiha Kagaya's obstruction and collect all nine tailed beasts.

Therefore, in order for Madara Uchiha and his team's plan to proceed smoothly and finally unseal Kaguya Otsutsuki, Uchiha Kagaku had no choice but to secretly lend them a hand.

After handing over the contents of the scroll to Orochimaru, Uchiha Kakuzan continued with a smile:

"Don't worry, Orochimaru. If Madara Uchiha really wants to attack you again, you only need to activate that spatial mark to escape unharmed. Even Madara Uchiha cannot stop you."

Uchiha Kakuzan's mastery of space-time ninjutsu had long surpassed that of Minato Namikaze, Tobirama Senju, and others.

Therefore, even Obito Uchiha, who possessed the space-time eye technique, was unable to stop or restrain the spatial mark bestowed upon him by Okazan Uchiha.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Orochimaru subconsciously touched the spatial mark between his eyebrows.

Even though the spatial imprint had already disappeared into Orochimaru's forehead, it was completely invisible from the outside.

However, Orochimaru could still sense the mystery within it, and he could even faintly sense some of the spatial fluctuations.

After touching his brow, Orochimaru's expression softened considerably. He gave Uchiha Kakuzan a slight bow and then said with a smile:

"Since it is your order, I will naturally comply."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's flattering words, Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to remember something, raised his chin, pointed to the Shinigami mask in his hand, and continued:

"By the way, it's best not to use that Grim Reaper mask right now. Wait for my instructions."

Those are the souls of the Hokage of all generations. Uchiha Kakuyama was worried that if Orochimaru rashly released them, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
