Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

My meticulously prepared funeral arrangements for Hiruzen Sarutobi did not escape the notice of this miracle worker who can see into the future.

Orochimaru remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was experiencing a storm of emotions.

"If I don't agree, what do you intend to do?"

After a few breaths of silence, Orochimaru broke the silence, his yellow vertical pupils fixed on the other person, trying to catch any change in expression under the clown mask.

"As an outsider, I have no interest in interfering with the timeline of this world, except for matters related to the Otsutsuki clan. If you refuse, I can only continue to cooperate with Konoha."

Tetsuya's lips curled up slightly, regardless of whether Orochimaru believed him or not.

"So, what will I get in return?"

Since it was a transaction, Orochimaru naturally wanted to know what he would gain.

Tetsu didn't say anything, but instead glanced at Kabuto Yakushi beside him.

"pocket."

Although Orochimaru only made a sound, Kabuto Yakushi was indeed sensible, and after getting up and leaving the room, he didn't forget to close the door behind him.

"Every member of the Otsutsuki clan is born with immense strength and possesses a power called 'Karma,' which shares similarities with the Heaven and Earth Curse Seal you researched, except that the power they can bear is completely different..."

Speaking of this, Tetsuya has to admire Orochimaru. As the chief scientist who promoted the advancement of technology in the ninja world, Orochimaru's Heavenly Curse Seal can indeed be called a low-end version of the Karma seal. Even with its shortcomings, everyone knows that taking the first step from nothing to something is the most difficult.

They actually have such an ability?

No wonder even this miracle worker who knows the future is pursuing the power of the Otsutsuki clan.

Orochimaru's eyes became incredibly fanatical, as if he wanted to snatch the information about the Karma from Tetsuya's hands and see it for himself.

"Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation!"

As Orochimaru clasped his hands together, a coffin slowly rose from the floor, its case engraved with a large character for "beginning".

With a sickening sound, the coffin lid slowly fell down, revealing a middle-aged man with long black hair and wearing red armor.

Amidst the harsh clanging of bones, Hashirama Senju stepped out of the coffin, glanced down at his hands, and frowned.

"Impure World Reincarnation? This isn't a good ninjutsu. We should have insisted that Tobirama destroy it in the first place..."

Hashirama Senju's gaze swept over Tetsuya, then he slowly turned around and looked behind him.

"Was it this young man who summoned me using forbidden magic? Truly remarkable..."

Hashirama Senju attempted to resist Orochimaru's control, only to discover that the vessel containing him was only at the Genin level. Even without the kunai that stripped away willpower, Hashirama Senju was unable to stop the summoning on his own.

"Ever since the Third Kazekage forcibly broke free of my control, I've slightly modified the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and it seems to be working quite well."

Sensing Hashirama Senju's struggle, Orochimaru dared not be negligent in the slightest, keeping one hand in a hand seal in front of his chest to avoid repeating the mistake of failing to control the Third Kazekage last time.

"Although the offerings were a bit weak, they were still sufficient..."

Under Orochimaru's gaze, Tetsuya stretched out his arm and gently placed it on the shoulder of Hashirama Senju's reanimated body.

"What a pity, it has no connection whatsoever with the Divine Tree..."

As Hashirama Senju's projections lit up one after another, Tetsuya suppressed his elation, his tone filled with disappointment instead.

"The Divine Tree?"

Sensing an opportunity to gain more information, Orochimaru naturally didn't want to let it slip by, and asked with a question in mind.

"Compared to the Divine Tree, you are probably more familiar with another name, which is the Ten-Tails."

Tetsuya withdrew his hand, first tossing the scroll containing some information about "Karma" to Orochimaru, and then began to speak eloquently.

"Every member of the noble Otsutsuki clan receives a Ten-Tails. It is not only the true origin of chakra, but also the tool used by the Otsutsuki clan to harvest life-bearing planets. Before his death, your Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, divided the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine parts, which gave birth to the nine tailed beasts."

Such a secret was unknown not only to Orochimaru, a junior, but even to Hashirama Senju, who had subdued the nine tailed beasts.

"As part of the payment, I'll show you what happens in the future..."

Tetsuya glanced at Orochimaru and Hashirama Senju, raised his hand and grabbed at the void in front of him, then quickly pulled back, dragging out a projection from the void. It was the Edo Tensei body of Hashirama Senju that Orochimaru would later summon using White Zetsu as a vessel to participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

A fragment that occurs in the future?

Hashirama Senju's bright eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked at his other self, who had transformed into a huge screen of light.

In the pitch-black night sky hung a full moon, but its entire body emitted an ominous blood-red hue, appearing extremely eerie.

Under the full moon's glow, stood a man with long white hair. As their gaze drew closer, Hashirama Senju and Orochimaru were able to clearly see his appearance.

"spot!"

Even though the appearance of Madara Uchiha in Six Paths had changed dramatically compared to the image in Hashirama Senju's memories, the First Hokage still recognized his close friend, who had once worked alongside him to establish Konoha and eventually parted ways.

After becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, Madara Uchiha grew two horns resembling a headband on his forehead, and his purple Rinnegan shone brightly in his eye sockets. The collar and hem of his white robe were adorned with magatama patterns, and the aura he exuded made Orochimaru feel breathless.

How could Madara Uchiha's aura be so terrifying?

Even through the light barrier, Orochimaru was still covered in sweat, feeling as if the air had become as heavy as Mount Tai, making it hard for him to breathe.

Is this Madara Uchiha's true strength?

So how terrifying must the First Hokage, who defeated Madara at the Valley of the End, have been in his prime?

Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little scared, secretly glad that in order to guard against the miracle master's other schemes, he had only randomly chosen a genin as the sacrifice when summoning the First Hokage, which greatly limited the strength that Hashirama's Edo Tensei could exert.

Otherwise, it would have been possible for Hashirama Senju to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

In the light screen, Madara Uchiha raised his arm, grabbed a horn from his forehead, and forcefully pried it off, revealing his smooth forehead.

"According to the inscription on that stone tablet, when the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, who possesses the power of reincarnation, approaches the moon, the Eye of the Moon, used to realize the Infinite Dream, will be activated..."

As Madara Uchiha spoke, his forehead suddenly split open, revealing a red Rinnegan with nine tomoe.

Is this still the Sharingan?

Is the Mangekyou Sharingan not the ultimate evolutionary goal of the Uchiha bloodline?

Before his defection, Orochimaru, as a high-ranking member of Konoha, had always coveted the powerful Mangekyou Sharingan of Itachi Uchiha. Orochimaru was no stranger to the secrets of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Now, seeing the red nine-tomoe Rinnegan on Madara Uchiha's forehead, Orochimaru's breathing became noticeably rapid.

As the Nine-Tomoe Ring's inner eye fully opened, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

On the surface of the blood-red full moon hanging high in the sky, a huge pattern was reflected, exactly the same as the red Rinnegan.

"Illuminate the world, Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

As Madara Uchiha spoke with utmost solemnity, the blood-red full moon emitted a faint red light, scattering across every corner of the ninja world.
