A New Snake In The Shinobi World-Chapter 362:

Kyuubi's eyes had taken on a ripple-like pattern?

There was no doubt, Kyuubi was being controlled, and it was through the power of the Rinnegan!

Whether it was a tailed beast or a summoned creature, once controlled by dojutsu, its eyes would take on the shape of its controller's pupils.

Just like Kyuubi at this moment, its eyes had become Rinnegan.

This phenomenon had occurred multiple times in the original events, such as when Sasuke controlled Manda to shield himself from Deidara's explosion, when Obito controlled Kyuubi to attack Konoha, and when all of Pain's summoned creatures displayed the same transformation.

Speaking of controlling summons with dojutsu, it was necessary to mention the art of summoning.

Logically, a shinobi could only sign a contract with one species of summoned creatures in their lifetime. It was impossible to form blood contracts with multiple species at the same time.

But there was one exception.

That exception was shinobi who possessed dojutsu!

Shinobi with powerful eyes could summon two or even more different types of creatures simultaneously.

Even though they couldn't sign a second blood contract, they could use their dojutsu to control other summoned creatures, effectively allowing them to summon multiple species at once.

This was exactly how Pain controlled his summons and how Sasuke commanded his hawk.

To put it simply, Orochimaru's blood contract covered all the snakes in Ryūchi Cave, meaning he could only summon snakes.

If he wished to summon another species, he would have to use dojutsu to control an entirely new creature. Once controlled, he could then summon that new species in addition to his original contracted summons.

However, the second species of summoned creatures would consist only of individually controlled beings, not an entire race bound by a summoning contract!

Back to the present.

Rasa was still in shock as he looked at Kyuubi, controlled by the Rinnegan.

After all, the ability to control a tailed beast with dojutsu was an extremely terrifying prospect for other villages.

"Rinnegan..." He turned his gaze toward Pain. "So that's how it is…"

As Kazekage, he was naturally well-informed.

Even if he had never seen the Rinnegan before, he had at least heard of it.

These were the legendary eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.

"Lord Kazekage, for the sake of your village's safety, please consider Lord Orochimaru's proposal!"

A gentle yet firm voice echoed through the battlefield.

Hearing this, Rasa frowned. "Who are you??"

"My name is Uzumaki Kushina… well… the former Jinchuriki of Kyuubi."

"Kyuubi's Jinchuriki… What?! You were Kyuubi's Jinchuriki?"

This time, Rasa was truly stunned.

The name Uzumaki Kushina might not have meant much to him, but the title "Kyuubi's Jinchuriki" certainly did…

There was no doubt, Kushina had willingly followed them to Sunagakure.

Having barely recovered, she had entrusted her daughter to Nonō and pleaded with Orochimaru to let her come along.

Her sole purpose was to temper Orochimaru's bloodthirsty tendencies and advocate for peace.

And in truth, she had succeeded.

Because of her presence, Orochimaru had indeed restrained himself from killing indiscriminately.

Seeing her striking red hair, Rasa had no choice but to believe her claim.

However, what puzzled him was, if the tailed beast had been extracted, why was Kyuubi's Jinchuriki still alive?

Of course, now was not the time to dwell on that. The most pressing issue was whether he should yield to Orochimaru.

Gaara was his son, that was undeniable.

But as a shinobi, he had always been prepared for sacrifices.

If Gaara were to die, he might grieve for a moment, perhaps even shed a few tears.

But if the village fell, it would mean that he, as Kazekage, had failed.

Without a village, there would be no nation. Without a nation, there would be no family.

The consequences of failure would be far worse than losing his son.

Should he surrender Shukaku?

That might mean only losing a single tailed beast, but no one could predict what further consequences would follow.

But if he refused…

Just Kyuubi alone was enough to destroy them.

Not to mention, standing beside Orochimaru were Sasori, Pain, and the Rinnegan itself.

Could Sunagakure really stand against these three powerhouses and Kyuubi?

Rasa felt his thoughts spinning in turmoil.

Sasori's combat ability was at most on par with his or Chiyo's.

But Orochimaru had already proven capable of effortlessly eliminating the Raikage and a Jinchuriki who could possibly stop him?!

If a battle broke out, and Pain joined the fray alongside the massively destructive Kyuubi, the outcome was obvious…

"Damn it… this guy…"

"Lord Kazekage, you must not give in!"

"That's right, Lord Kazekage! Let's fight them together!"

"Idiot, stop spouting nonsense, that's Kyuubi!"

"Kyuubi? So what? As long as we attack together—"

"Shut up! Orochimaru is controlling Kyuubi! Doesn't that tell you everything?"

"Dammit…"

Hearing his subordinates' frantic arguments, Rasa gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly.

This… was the crushing weight of absolute power.

In the past, it had been the First and Second Hokage.

Now, it was Orochimaru, Pain, and Kyuubi.

Was the shinobi world truly doomed to kneel before Konoha once more…?

—

Meanwhile, as Orochimaru was using his overwhelming power to force Rasa into submission, a group of Konoha shinobi had arrived at the seaside border of the Land of Lightning!

There were about a hundred of them, all clad in ANBU masks.

Leading them was a man with bandages wrapped around his right arm and eye.

As they gazed at the massive factory before them and the dense ranks of clone soldiers, the shinobi of Konoha were left in shock.

"An army of this scale… it's enough to dominate any large-scale war!"

"Unbelievable… this is simply too powerful! As expected of Lord Orochimaru!"

"Indeed… this isn't something an ordinary man could accomplish."

The members of Root were trained to remain silent, yet even they couldn't hide their astonishment at the sight of Orochimaru's base and the sheer number of clones.

Clones.

That word alone was enough to instill shock.

It was a concept beyond the understanding of ordinary shinobi, let alone the fact that these clones possessed combat abilities equal to their own.

Danzo himself was even more thrilled.

Because in addition to the forces Konan had taken to the Land of Frost, there were still more than 10,000 clones here.

And at this very moment, all 10,000 of them were waiting for Danzo's command.

He had waited far too long for this moment.

"This man actually used technology to create such an army? Unbelievable!"

Whoosh!

Just as he finished speaking, a young man in a white robe suddenly appeared before him.

"Who?"

The sudden arrival immediately put the Root shinobi on high alert.

Danzo, however, remained unfazed. Raising his hand to stop his subordinates, he looked at the young man and spoke in a solemn tone.

"You must be Orochimaru's son, correct?"

"My name is Mi."

The young man smiled gently and bowed respectfully to Danzo.

"As per my father's orders, I am here to assist Danzo-sama in infiltrating Kumogakure!"
