#201 - Chapter 201 Capturing the Tailed Beast·Three Tails (4)
“Kotoamatsukami!? What is that?”
At this moment, Orochimaru felt that something was completely wrong.
“Oh, you don’t know!? That is a unique genjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan that Shisui Uchiha possessed after awakening his Mangekyō Sharingan. It can invade the opponent's brain without them realizing it and modify their will! After Shisui Uchiha died, one of his eyes was taken by Danzo, and the other fell into Itachi's hands.”
“!!!”
Orochimaru felt as if his brain had been suddenly struck hard, and a chill from the bottom of his heart made him feel cold all over.
He looked at his hands with some disbelief, and said with an ugly expression.
“Are you saying that I was subjected to genjutsu by Itachi, and my will was modified, which made me…”
Rasa nodded.
“Just at that moment, I felt a strange chakra on you. I can be sure that it was Shisui's chakra? As for why I am so sure?”
Rasa took out a scroll, and after opening it, the same glass test tube appeared in his hand.
Orochimaru looked over and could clearly see the floating three-tomoe Sharingan in the glass test tube.
This made Orochimaru, who already had some guesses, look even more ugly.
“This is?”
“This is the other eye of Shisui that I snatched from Danzo, so I am quite familiar with his chakra.”
“!!!”
Orochimaru's whole person became extremely gloomy, exuding a terrifying baleful aura, and he shouted that name fiercely.
“Itachi… Why, why did he use this genjutsu on me? Isn't he afraid that I will covet the Sharingan and attack his brother?”
“The answer to this question is very simple. Itachi definitely loves his brother… Then… there is only one answer, Orochimaru… Itachi is using you as a whetstone on Sasuke's path to growth!!!”
“……”
The entire lake surface began to ripple.
This was not a sign of the Three-Tails appearing below, but rather Orochimaru's chakra beginning to riot due to anger.
Anyone whose will is modified and used as someone else's stepping stone would be unhappy.
Not to mention a proud figure like Orochimaru.
As for doubting the truth of what Rasa said, Orochimaru no longer doubted it.
At this moment, the veins on Orochimaru's forehead throbbed with anger, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.
However, Orochimaru is, after all, Orochimaru, and he quickly calmed down, but the gloomy smile on his face did not disappear.
“What a calculation, Itachi, but now, your brother is in my hands, and I will take good care of Sasuke.”
“No… I advise you not to do that?”
“???”
Rasa's dissuasion once again puzzled Orochimaru.
“Why?”
“Because of what I said: fate, if you don’t want to cause trouble for yourself!”
“……”
Orochimaru seemed to have vaguely figured out something at this time, and asked tentatively.
“The Child of Prophecy?!”
“Some things, it’s good if you understand, don’t say it out loud!”
Rasa's reply made Orochimaru's face turn ugly.
“Then what should I do? Should I just wait for everything of mine to be taken away?”
Rasa did not answer, but asked.
“Orochimaru, what kind of relationship do you think we should have now?”
Orochimaru immediately understood Rasa's meaning and replied with a smile.
“If I said that before today, Rasa-kun and I were just in a cooperative relationship, but now, I think we can become friends!”
“Friends!? I like friends. In that case, as a friend, I will give you a gift!”
“A gift!?”
Under Orochimaru's somewhat surprised gaze, Rasa took out another scroll.
“This is Danzo's right arm!”
Orochimaru was no stranger to this arm, because he had created it.
However, he was still happy about it. On the one hand, it was a gift from Rasa as a friend, and on the other hand, it was the Sharingan on it. That guy Danzo was very stingy with the Sharingan.
However, what does this mean?
Just as Orochimaru was puzzled, Rasa slowly said his thoughts.
“Actually, I’m very strange, Orochimaru. With your scientific strength, why do you have to target Sasuke’s body? Don’t you think that with your strength, you can completely clone and cultivate a perfect body with your own genes?!”
“!!!”
At this moment, Orochimaru really felt that his will had been modified by Itachi.
That's right, why didn't he think of this aspect? Taking his own genes as the main component, incorporating Hashirama's cells and the power of the Sharingan, he could completely cultivate and clone an excellent body that was most suitable for his soul.
Instead of the strange, neither male nor female state he was in now.
At this moment, Orochimaru's gaze towards Rasa completely changed.
“Hehehe, now it seems that my agreeing to Rasa-kun’s invitation was the best choice I have ever made in my life. This is just the beginning, and I have already seen the vast world that Rasa-kun spoke of.”
“That’s good. Then, our cooperation can continue more happily!”
“Of course!”
Just then, the lake surface churned again.
However, this time it was not Orochimaru releasing his chakra, but a huge creature was surging up from under the water. Countless bubbles emerged, and the lake surface began to ripple.
“It seems that the Three-Tails is about to come out!”
“Yes, leave the rest to me!”
Along with the two of them, the lake water, like a mountain, surged up, turning into a torrential rain. A huge turtle covered in spikes and with three tails appeared in front of the two of them, looking at them angrily with its one eye.
“It’s really exaggerated!”
Orochimaru said with emotion, while also being curious about how Rasa would subdue this tailed beast next.
Rasa took two or three steps forward, put his hands together, and said slowly.
“I know you have your own consciousness. I have no malice towards the tailed beasts, I just need a little of your chakra, so, I’m sorry.”
Under Orochimaru's incredible gaze, Rasa put his hands together.
“Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees…”
Rasa is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, but sometimes he has to, because at this moment, he is not talking to the tailed beast, but showing his attitude to the owner of these tailed beasts: the Sage of Six Paths.
He doesn't have the capital to say tough words yet…

A day later, when the Kirigakure ninja realized that something was wrong and came here, all they saw were the corpses of their dead companions, the calm lake surface, and the missing Three-Tails…
