In the Kingdom of Fire, outside Konoha Village, a group of people slowly walked in the night.

In the sky, the bright moon has turned into blood red, and an ominous chakra comes from afar, affecting the entire world.

Orochimaru stopped and looked in the distance. His snake-like eyes stood up. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Is this ominous chakra a ten-tail? It seems that the battle over there is very fierce."

Uchiha Sasuke also looked there, lowered his head silently, and after a moment he said, "Let's go quickly, we don't have much time to delay."

Orochimaru smiled gloomy twice and turned toward the east.

After walking for a long time, they were not in Konoha Village before a dilapidated tribe, but were a distance from the village.

Ghost Ding Shuiyue looked around and said, "Where is this place? It looks like a dilapidated."

Orochimaru chuckled, "This is the Uzumaki land established in the early stage of Konoha. When the first Naruto pacified the troubled times, he founded Konoha Village. As a distant relative of Chiaju, the Uzumaki tribe also made a lot of efforts in the process of creating the village. Chiaju Hashimara invited them to join Konoha shortly after the village was built.

However, Yuzui is a clan with its own tradition. They did not agree to join completely, but did not completely refuse. So they have the current clan land. Let's go and enter with me."

The four of them walked into the dilapidated ancestral hall, filled with the meaning of decaying time. The entire ancestral hall was half-collapsed, and spider webs and dust could be seen everywhere.

Under Orochimaru, the four of them stopped in front of a wall, with dozens of different masks hanging on it, such as items used in the previous sacrificial sacrifice.

"Ah, it looks so gloomy, why are we coming here?" Gui Deng Shuiyue whispered.

Orochimaru ignored it, but searched carefully. Looking around for a while, his right arm turned into a long snake and took off one of the two-horned ghost masks. "I found it, it's this. Let's leave and meet the person who knows everything."

...

In Konoha Village, the lights are brightly lit at night, and villagers are walking back and forth in the streets and alleys. At this time, shops are open and soft lights are coming out.

The ninja world formed a coalition to fight, but for ordinary people in major ninja villages, life still needs to be passed. After all, the world of ninjas is too far away from them, even if they are actually the group of people closest to ninjas among ordinary people.

In comparison, the villagers in the village at least knew that a big war was happening outside, and many people with ninjas at home were praying constantly, hoping that Konoha's side would win, although they didn't even know who the target of this war was.

And the rest of the ordinary people's cities do not even know that a battle is taking place that determines the fate of the world.

Children's playful sounds occasionally come, and no matter when, for children who are greedy, their world is always simple and simple.

Sasuke stopped and looked up at the sky. After several years, he stepped into his former hometown again. An inexplicable feeling arose in his heart. Perhaps this is the so-called "homesickness".

He jumped over the telephone pole at the highest point and looked down at the entire Konoha. Compared to when he left, Konoha had changed a lot. Not to mention anything else, after Penn's destruction, Konoha was a new village built on the ruins.

"Sasuke, what are your nerves?" Ghost Ding Mizuki raised his head and said.

Orochimaru chuckled, "Let him go. This kind of feeling is exactly the same as before I wanted to destroy Konoha. In any case, this place is the hometown of the past..."

"I don't understand!" Gui Deng Shuiyue shook her head and expressed her confusing understanding.

Sasuke didn't stand on it for long. After about half a minute, he jumped down again and said, "Let's go."

Soon after, they came to a place in the former Uchiha tribe. This place was already ruined, with broken houses and broken walls everywhere.

After Payne's destruction, the Uchiha clan land was not rebuilt.

When he arrived at the former site of the Nanga Shrine, Sasuke made seals with his hands, and the earth made a slight vibration. A stone that perfectly matched the earth rose, and the Sharingan pattern was painted on the back, revealing the deep staircase below.

Orochimaru whispered, "The entire Minaga Shrine has been destroyed. I didn't expect that this mechanism will be kept intact. Is it worthy of being the product of the Uchiha clan? It's indeed a quality assurance."

Sasuke took the lead and went down, "It doesn't matter what is above, the key is what's below."

When you arrive at the bottom of the shrine, the Uchiha stone tablet that runs through the entire Naruto story is quietly placed deep, using fire escape to ignite the torch, and the bright light illuminates the entire room.

Orochimaru shook off his black cloak and whispered, "I'm going to start, stand far away."

Everyone stepped back, Orochimaru took a light breath and put the mask he had taken out on his face. Suddenly, a chakra that did not belong to time enveloped him, cold and desperate, like a god of death.

Orochimaru let out a low roar, as if he was suffering some powerful pain. He tried his best to control his own movements, standing with his arms stretched out, and his hair stood upside down.

Behind him, a white phantom of death appeared, holding a short blade in his mouth and horns on his head, like the legendary evil ghost of hell.

The temperature in the entire room suddenly dropped.

Sasuke's eyes showed Sangouyu, his face slightly condensed. Even though he had experienced many things, he was still cautious about this strange ninjutsu.

As the chakra manipulation changed, "Death" took off the short blade in his mouth and silently cut a wound on his abdomen. Orochimaru let out a muffled groan, and scars appeared on his abdomen, and blood kept overflowing.

At the same time, on the abdomen of "Death", a blue soul light ball appeared, two of which were heading towards Orochimaru and attached to his hands. The long-lost feeling returned to him.

Orochimaru said happily, "I'm back, that's the feeling, my sealed hands."

He took off his mask, blood kept spilling out of his mouth, and whispered, "Shigo, give your chakra to Sasuke, hurry!"
