Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Splash!

Orochimaru fell from the air, crashing straight into the gold dust wave.

The gold dust surged, quickly lifting Orochimaru up, but no matter how it tried, Orochimaru couldn't stand.

'What's going on?!'

Orochimaru supported himself with his hands on the gold dust, and kept trying to stand up, but his feet felt like flimsy willow branches swaying in the wind, unable to bear any weight!

'Am I injured?'

Orochimaru quickly tried to use his molting technique!

Unfortunately, it was useless.

'In that case…'

A fierce light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he brutally chopped off his legs with a stroke of his left hand, and then, he used Body Revival Technique to regrow his legs. But in the end, he still can't stand up!

'Bastard!!'

Orochimaru's eyes bulged with rage, then he turned his head and looked fiercely towards Hiruzen, who also fell into the gold dust. However, Hiruzen was already dead!

"Do you think death is the end?"

Orochimaru sneered coldly, "Don't be so naive!!"

Using the sand as a hand, he inscribed the technique formula of Impure World Reincarnation on the ground, and tear off a piece of Hiruzen's flesh and place it in the technique formula.

"I still need a sacrifice!"

Orochimaru demanded coldly, "Tobi, bring me a living person!"

"You sure like ordering people around."

Tobi's head emerged from the ground, and his spiral face suddenly opened, revealing Sasuke's full face, "How about this guy?"

Sasuke's face twitched, and there was a fire in his heart.

Orochimaru angrily roared, "Hurry up!!!"

"Got it, got it." Tobi spat out Sasuke and then burrowed back into the ground.

Sasuke got up from the ground, and his eyes flickered as he stared at Orochimaru lying on the gold dust.

Orochimaru shot him a glance. Suppressing the rage boiling within his chest, he said with a gloomy expression, "Sasuke-kun, I advise you to behave, otherwise…"

After saying that, the gold dust covering several streets suddenly began to boil.

Sasuke's expression changed slightly, and he snorted as he quickly stuffed his hands into his pockets, turned around, and pretended to admire the distant scenery.

Not long after, Tobi emerged from the ground and spewed out an ordinary Konoha's resident.

"Very good."

Orochimaru impatiently manipulated the gold dust to push the 'sacrifice' into the Impure World Reincarnation's technique formula, and finally formed hand seals, Tiger - Snake - Dog - Dragon.

Impure World Reincarnation!!

Orochimaru slammed his palms onto the ground, and a gust of wind suddenly arose, and then…there was no more.

"You've got to be kidding me?!"

Orochimaru trembled with fury, "Why is the technique not working?!"

Orochimaru looked down at Hiruzen's body, and his veins bulged violently. His face twisted with anger, wanting to devour Hiruzen's flesh out of sheer hatred!

'Wait!'

Orochimaru's mind suddenly flashed back to earlier scene.

'Shinigami…soul…'

'Could it be that sensei's soul was sealed by the Shinigami, making Impure World Reincarnation impossible?'

'Then, my legs are also because my soul was sealed…'

"Roar~"

At this moment, a resounding roar echoed from a distance.

Orochimaru turned his head and looked, and then saw a huge tortoise covered in spikes suddenly appearing outside Konoha, then quickly moved towards the west by crawling.

'Sanbi?'

Orochimaru's mind raced, and a smile formed amidst his anger, "A diversion to draw away the Akatsuki?"

"Orochimaru, you're in this state now. I suggest you leave Konoha quickly!" Seeing Orochimaru's mood somewhat stabilize, Sasuke spoke up.

"Why? Don't you want to awaken your Mangekyo Sharingan?" Orochimaru's golden eyes filled with rage, hatred, and impatience as he glared at Sasuke.

Sasuke's heart tightened, knowing he might be killed if he said more, so he quickly shut his mouth and turned to look at the Hokage Rock, pretending to admire the view.

Orochimaru clasped his hands together, causing the surrounding gold dust to surge beneath him, covering his legs.

Gold Dust Imperial Funeral!

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with ruthless determination, and the gold dust instantly tightened, grinding his legs into pulp.

Then, the gold dust surged, transforming into two golden legs attached to Orochimaru's waist.

'It feels odd, but give me some time and I'll adapt to it…' Orochimaru balanced himself, controlling the gold dust, and managed to stand, albeit unsteadily, and then, he asked Tobi, "Where are Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi?"

Sasuke's pupils contracted as he abruptly turned his head and glared fiercely at Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, what are you trying to do?!"

"Of course, I'm helping you awaken your eyes!"

Orochimaru replied with a sinister smile, "I've lost my legs. If I don't take something from you, how could I justify Hiruzen-sensei's sacrifice? Right? Hahahaha…"

"You!!!" Sasuke was enraged and was about to retaliate, but he was suddenly enveloped by Tobi, who had silently appeared behind him.

"Let go, let me go!!" Sasuke struggled violently, but as Tobi closed his face, Sasuke's voice vanishedinstantly.

Tobi chuckled and said, "Uchiha Fugaku is gathering the Shinobi of the various clans. As for Uchiha Itachi, he is an Anbu, so he's naturally in the Anbu's Headquarters."

"Very good."

Orochimaru bent low, intending to sprint, but his upper body suddenly detached from his golden legs, causing him to fall face-first into the ground!

Seeing this, Tobi burst into laughter, and then reacted and quickly dived into the ground. In the next instant, countless golden shuriken shot out, turning his previous position into a pincushion.

'Damn it!'

Orochimaru manipulated the gold dust to reform his legs. While walking was manageable, running was still a challenge.

"Tobi, let me enter your body!" Orochimaru demanded angrily.

"Okay." Tobi emerged from the ground, released Sasuke, and then enveloped Orochimaru inside him.

Then, Orochimaru sealed Hiruzen's corpse into a scroll, then grabbed Sasuke, and swiftly headed towards the Anbu's Headquarters.

...

Meanwhile.

Two kilometers away from the Anbu's Headquarters, the Six Paths of Pain, Kisame, Kakuzu, Deidara, and Sasori stood atop a building, watching the fading silhouette of Isobu outside Konoha.

"Is that Sanbi?"

Kisame stroked Samehada, who began to stir, and said with a smile, "It seems that Konoha doesn't want us to go to the Anbu's Headquarters."

"Kisame, Kakuzu, Sanbi will be left to you two." Deva Path Pain stated emotionlessly.

"Understood!" Kisame nodded.

"I'll give you a lift." Animal Path Pain stepped forward, forming hand seals and slamming his palms onto the ground, "Summoning Technique!"

Bang!

Amidst a puff of smoke, a massive bird screeched as it soared into the sky.

Kisame and Kakuzu flickered onto the back of the strange bird, and gradually flew high into the sky.

"Let's continue." Deva Path Pain said flatly, and then continued to rush towards the Anbu's Headquarters.

Behind them.

Shikaku's face sank: "They only sent two members?"

His plan is to draw all of the Akatsuki's members out of the village, but…

"It seems that I've underestimated Akatsuki's strength." Shikaku sighed.

"What do we do next?" Eagle asked.

"We can't let them get any closer to the Anbu's Headquarters!"

Shikaku said coldly, "Eagle, it's time to act!"

"Understood." Eagle waved his hand, "Go!!!"

"Yes!!!"

The Konoha's Shinobi, who had gathered behind them, now numbering in the hundreds, immediately charged forward.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder!"

"Water Release: Water Whip!"

In an instant, various Five-Attributes Ninjutsu madly poured into Six-Paths of Pain, Sasori and Deidara.

"They finally decided to make a move."

Deva Path Pain turned his head expressionlessly, stretched out his hand, his wide sleeve flapped in the wind, "Shinra Tensei!!"
