When Orochimaru came back to his senses, the scene before him was no longer the aftermath of the confrontation just now.
The environment was no different from before, raindrops were still slowly falling...
The person in front of him was no different from the image when they first met.
It was as if everything had returned to the beginning.
Nothing had happened.
The rain fell rustlingly...
Everything had returned to the start.
There were no charred white snake corpses on the ground, no shattered clods of earth, no traces at all.
Everything was the same as when they first met.
The only thing different was Orochimaru's mood.
His heart was agitated at this moment.
"I was under a genjutsu?"
Staring straight at Lexon, Orochimaru tried his best to maintain his calm state of mind and asked.
"That's right," Lexon responded with a gentle smile.
"Impossible. I know the genjutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan is terrifying, so I didn't look into your eyes and was wary of any genjutsu you might cast. Moreover, the one communicating with you has always been my clone, not my main body. Furthermore, you haven't transformed your eyes into the Mangekyo Sharingan yet, so it's impossible for you to cast genjutsu on me," Orochimaru said with a dark face.
"Human cognition can be wrong."
Lexon's voice actually didn't come from the mouth of the figure in front of Orochimaru.
In Orochimaru's eyes, the light in front of him twisted.
The figure in Lexon's original position dissipated, and beside the dissipating figure, Lexon's true self was revealed.
In his actual eye sockets, blood-red patterns were constantly spinning.
"You had already created a clone and hypnotized me with the Sharingan long ago?" Orochimaru pondered.
"Yeah," Lexon nodded.
"Then how did you know the location of my main body?" This was something Orochimaru couldn't understand.
The opponent used a clone against his clone. It was normal for the clone's attention to be on the opponent's clone and not notice, but his main body had been hiding underground without showing its face. Why was it discovered and put under a genjutsu?
"I won't tell you."
Lexon kept it a secret.
Actually, the reason was very simple: it was the credit of the versatile keen sense of smell.
It wasn't a day or two since Orochimaru and his gang operated. To avoid the opponent having helpers arrive or escaping again, Lexon activated his keen sense of smell to investigate. Unexpectedly, he discovered Orochimaru's main body playing dead underground.
So, very decisively, he cast a genjutsu on Orochimaru's main body.
Incidentally, he also took the opportunity to touch him while he wasn't paying attention.
Signing in smoothly.
After all, Orochimaru was a treasury of ninjutsu, and many of his ninjutsu were beyond standard specifications.
Such as "Living Corpse Reincarnation" and "Impure World Reincarnation".
Lexon was quite interested in these.
But the reality wasn't as smooth as Lexon hoped. He didn't sign in for "Impure World Reincarnation" but instead signed in for a ninjutsu called "Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Technique".
After viewing the information, Lexon remembered that this was Orochimaru's shedding technique.
[Using the external body as a substitute, the main body is transferred out from the mouth. It requires no hand seals and is the most perfect body replacement technique. It can even avoid Amaterasu, but using it by anyone other than Orochimaru consumes a massive amount of their own chakra.]
This was the introduction to this ninjutsu.
However, because the actual use of this technique was rather disgusting...
And compared to the effect of Demon Transformation, it was far inferior, so this technique was also thrown into the cold palace, keeping company with Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear.
"I fell for it this time." Orochimaru's gaze was unusually cold. "But I won't give up..."
As his voice fell, he was about to turn into thousands of small white snakes and scatter to escape.
"Do you want to make a deal?" Before Orochimaru left, Lexon suddenly spoke.
Orochimaru stopped his departure, looked at Lexon, and said, "What deal?"
"You take me to Ryuchi Cave, and I'll give you a Mangekyo Sharingan," Lexon said slowly.
Ryuchi Cave?
Orochimaru frowned.
He knew exactly what that place was.
His summoning beast, Manda, was a member of Ryuchi Cave.
Ryuchi Cave.
One of the Three Great Sage Regions.
Famous alongside Mount Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest.
It was a place to train in Senjutsu chakra and master Sage Mode.
Lexon wanted to obtain Sage Mode, so he proposed such a transaction requirement to Orochimaru.
"What do you want to do?" Orochimaru asked.
"What else can one do in Ryuchi Cave?" Lexon asked back directly.
"Then is the Mangekyo Sharingan you mentioned genuine? Are you going to give me your own eyes?"
"How could I give you my own eyes?" Lexon shook his head. "Anyway, you just need to trust that I will keep my promise."
Naturally, he wouldn't use his own eyes as a transaction requirement. Although he didn't have any spare Mangekyo Sharingan on hand right now, if he asked Itachi for Shisui's eye, he probably wouldn't refuse, right...
Probably...
To put it bluntly, Lexon was currently getting something for nothing.
"I don't trust you." Orochimaru's voice was low and hoarse, expressing his distrust of Lexon.
With Orochimaru's personality, he naturally wouldn't easily trust someone he had only met a few times, especially since they were enemies just a moment ago...
"Is that so?" Lexon's figure suddenly disappeared.
Crap!
Seeing the opponent's figure vanish, Orochimaru instinctively felt something was wrong. He was about to mobilize chakra to release the technique and turn his body into small white snakes to escape.
But in an instant, Lexon had already appeared in front of Orochimaru, extending his right hand to violently hoop around Orochimaru's head.
Fierce and restless chakra transmitted from Lexon's hand into Orochimaru's body, disrupting the trajectory of his chakra movement.
The chakra Orochimaru mobilized dissipated as a result, and the ninjutsu about to be released was interrupted.
"You can't kill me." Orochimaru's long, narrow eyes stared straight at Lexon, speaking viciously.
"Who knows..." A faint smile appeared on Lexon's face, and the pattern within his blood-red pupils suddenly accelerated its rotation.
Ultimate pupil power radiated from the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Kotoamatsukami."
