Naruto: I Traveled with a Max Level Account-Chapter 152 - 551: Orochimaru Narrowly Escapes and Finds Takuya

"Escaped, huh?"

Noticing that Orochimaru had broken free from control, Black Zetsu didn't pay much attention.

Right now, his priority was controlling the rampaging Uchiha Obito.

Like a flowing black shadow, Black Zetsu crawled from the ground onto Obito's body, gradually covering him.

According to the original plan, Obito was supposed to take on the identity of Uchiha Madara, infiltrate the Akatsuki, and lead the tailed beast collection mission.

But the plan had already gone awry. Moreover, the body lying on the operating table wasn't Nohara Rin. Once Obito regained his sanity, he would quickly discover the truth.

It was all a trap, and there was a good chance Obito would desperately try to escape once he realized it.

To prevent any accidents, Black Zetsu swiftly controlled the unstable Obito, forcing his consciousness into slumber and taking control of his body.

With his mind shut down, believing that Nohara Rin was truly dead, Obito became a walking corpse, sinking into a deep sleep and sealing off his own consciousness.

Controlling Obito's body, Black Zetsu muttered indifferently:

"He's still lacking a bit. But with the implantation of a few more White Zetsu cells, he should be able to withstand the strain and burden of the Rinnegan. His eyes are quite impressive."

But they were ultimately useless.

What Black Zetsu and Madara needed was merely a body that could bear the Rinnegan—not a newly cultivated pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

No matter how powerful those eyes were.

"I'll inform Madara-sama and bring the old man's body along. It might come in handy."

With that, Tobi slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.

Controlling Obito's body, Black Zetsu left the underground base, taking the blood-soaked White Zetsu corpses with him.

Meanwhile, having transformed into a snake, Orochimaru slithered far away from the crude base, escaping his captors.

"Cough! Cough!"

In the depths of a forest, Orochimaru crawled out from the snake's body, his skin covered in sticky mucus, a sickly smile on his face.

"Uchiha Madara is truly terrifying."

A pair of ordinary Sharingan—that was Madara's current configuration.

And yet, with such a seemingly mundane setup and his broken body, Madara had still managed to overpower Orochimaru.

Fortunately, when Obito attacked him, the disruption to his soul allowed Orochimaru to break free from the control and escape.

Even though he had escaped, Orochimaru was in terrible condition—utterly drained and weak.

Seeking a place to recover, Orochimaru noticed markings left by Konoha's Anbu and followed them, eventually finding the Anbu squad's location.

The Anbu were currently assisting Minato and Jiraiya in gathering intelligence on other villages and monitoring their movements.

Suddenly, Orochimaru emerged from the woods, clutching his chest with a pale, exhausted expression, startling the Anbu members.

"Orochimaru-sama?"

After confirming his chakra signature multiple times, the Anbu were dumbfounded.

What was Orochimaru doing here?

Suppressing his discomfort, Orochimaru coughed and said, "Take me to your leader. I've obtained critical information about Uchiha Madara."

"Uchiha Madara?"

Not many people knew about him. The two Anbu squads stationed in the Land of Rain certainly weren't aware.

They didn't know whether Orochimaru was telling the truth or not.

"You take Orochimaru-sama to see Takuya-sama. I'll notify Jiraiya-sama."

The squad split up immediately.

"..."

Upon hearing that Takuya was also in the Land of Rain, Orochimaru's face twitched slightly.

The state he was in now? It was all thanks to Takuya!

If Takuya hadn't told him about White Zetsu's hiding place, he wouldn't have rushed there so recklessly.

In the end... he found White Zetsu, but he also found another terrifying figure waiting for him.

As a result, Orochimaru had suffered a miserable defeat and ended up being controlled.

The thought of being manipulated and spilling all his secrets filled Orochimaru with a deep sense of social death.

Orochimaru had shown up with information on Uchiha Madara?

Upon hearing this news, Minato and Jiraiya immediately rushed back to the base.

When they arrived, Orochimaru still hadn't shown up.

"Yo, isn't this our dear Orochimaru-sama? What happened to you? Those injuries must be serious."

Seeing Orochimaru barely able to stand, Takuya couldn't help but tease him.

See? That's what you get for rushing off to confront White Zetsu. Now you've learned your lesson. freёnovelkiss.com

It's a miracle Madara didn't peel your snake skin off.

"All thanks to you, Takuya-kun. If not for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Forcing a smile, Orochimaru responded dryly to Takuya's taunts.

"Orochimaru, did you encounter Uchiha Madara? He's not dead?"

Jiraiya had no patience for their odd banter. He only cared if Orochimaru had information on Madara.

Orochimaru's smile vanished as his serpentine eyes locked onto Jiraiya.

"So what if I did? He's very much alive. Although old and frail, his strength is terrifying."

"Then, Takuya-kun, are you already aware of Uchiha Madara's situation?"

Orochimaru was still furious. He had almost died because of this trap.

"Of course."

Meeting Orochimaru's angry gaze, Takuya smiled calmly.

"After learning some of the Uchiha clan's secrets, I suspected that Madara wasn't dead. But you insisted on going yourself—what could I do?"

It wasn't my fault. You were the one who couldn't resist poking around, so don't try to pin this on me.

Orochimaru: "..."

MMP!!!

Let's see if you're still curious and adventurous after this.

After laughing at Orochimaru's misery for a moment, Takuya continued:

"The Uchiha clan's stone tablet was actually left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. Anyone with a Sharingan can read its contents. The higher the level of the Sharingan, the more information they can see."

"One critical piece of information recorded on it is this: when the powers of the Senju and Uchiha clans are combined, it grants the power of All Creation."

"If the stone tablet was left by the Sage of Six Paths and can be interpreted by the Uchiha's Sharingan, do I really need to explain further?"

Come on, guys, snap out of it.

The information isn't that overwhelming, is it?

Minato was bewildered, Orochimaru's face darkened, and he realized he'd been completely played.

If Takuya could see this information, then Uchiha Madara certainly could as well.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya's mind was stuck on All Creation.

"So, when the powers of Senju and Uchiha combine, it leads to the Rinnegan?"

After a while, Minato finally drew a conclusion.

Such a terrifying power, described as All Creation, must represent the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.

"Something like that. But I feel like the Rinnegan isn't the final form yet."

Nodding, Takuya dropped yet another bombshell.
