Perception, huh?
Lexon thought to himself.
The White Snake Sage could observe Ryuchi Cave and know everything that happened within it probably by relying on this perception ability...
It overlapped slightly with the sense of smell, but to a certain extent, its function was superior to the sense of smell.
Although he didn't obtain the desired Sage Mode, this was still quite good.
Take it slowly, anyway...
Lexon glanced sideways at the dying White Snake Sage.
The days are still long...
"Blood Demon Art: Pot of the Different World."
Lexon took out a pot from his space ring.
A black, chaotic hole emerged above the mouth of the pot.
Immediately, he threw the remaining head of the White Snake Sage inside.
The hollow different space inside the pot had no natural energy. Even the White Snake Sage could only rely on its internal circulation to recover its body.
This recovery speed would be very slow, requiring a very, very long time to possibly recover to a normal state.
Lexon didn't have to worry about the White Snake Sage recovering its Six Paths level strength... he didn't have to feel troubled.
After all, his own base combat power was only at the Super Kage level.
After settling the White Snake Sage, Lexon casually hung the pot on his waist.
[End Eight Inner Gates]
[End Demon Transformation]
The surging red steam gradually dissipated, and the black entangling aura slowly dispersed.
He returned to the appearance of a normal person.
As soon as he returned to his normal state, Lexon felt his body go a bit sore and weak.
Sure enough, with high-intensity augmentation, the burden is still a bit large...
He adjusted his condition slightly, and soon he fully recovered, the soreness and weakness gone.
Alright...
The matter at Ryuchi Cave is over. Next, it should be...
Lexon's figure flashed, leaving Ryuchi Cave.
...
"No, no... no... don't kill me, I beg you." A burly man was tightly bound, kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy with tears and snot flowing.
However, the young man drawing something on the ground around him paid no attention to his begging.
"I won't rob anymore in the future... I won't kill anymore... please let me go..." The burly man shouted loudly.
"Done." The young man seemed to have completed the drawing, clapping his hands effortlessly.
A strange pattern centered on the burly man extended outward on the ground.
"I beg you... I will turn over a new leaf... I'll be a good person..." The burly man, whose limbs were broken and who had no ability to resist, could do nothing but beg for mercy.
"Ah... I'm not interested in whether you turn over a new leaf or not. I'm just quite grateful that you appeared right when I needed you," Lexon responded for the first time, his expression unusually indifferent.
Immediately, he formed hand seals with both hands.
"Impure World Reincarnation."
The seals completed.
Sheets of white paper suddenly emerged from the burly man's body, wrapping layer by layer around him as he screamed in terror.
Soon, the burly man lost his voice.
The white paper intertwined and fitted together, the body shape suddenly shrinking, gradually transforming into a feminine man wearing a black robe with red clouds.
Black long hair, narrow eyes, and the outer skin covered in paper faintly showed signs of cracking.
At this moment, Lexon's eyes suddenly transformed into the purple-tinged Rinnegan.
With a thought, a huge head of the King of Hell rose from the ground beside him.
Then, the King of Hell opened its large pitch-black mouth. Lexon reached into its mouth, and an illusory purple figure was pulled out by him.
With a casual toss, the purple illusory figure was thrown into the body formed of paper.
After this series of actions, the feminine man seemed to regain consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, his snake-like narrow eyes emitting a cold luster.
"Impure World Reincarnation..." A hoarse voice came from Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation body as he looked at the ground and murmured.
"Yes, the technique you perfected," Lexon said, standing in front of him.
"Uchiha Lexon..." Hearing Lexon's voice, Orochimaru looked up at him. "You killed me... so why did you resurrect me with Impure World Reincarnation?"
"To make you work for me," Lexon responded flatly.
"..." Orochimaru remained silent.
Lexon continued, "You are a smart person with outstanding abilities, but you are also an untrustworthy person. So, this is the only way to make you work for me and obey my commands."
Orochimaru was a genius researcher in the Naruto world. Many forbidden jutsu were perfected by him, and many things were researched by him... a well-deserved genius.
In Lexon's view, he was very useful.
For example, researching and perfecting other forbidden jutsu for him to sign in for, or even finding the corpses of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara to resurrect with Impure World Reincarnation for him to sign in...
But at the same time, as an early boss in the Naruto world, Orochimaru lacked neither ambition nor conspiracy.
He was a completely untrustworthy person.
Because he wanted to utilize Orochimaru's usefulness and make him work for him, Lexon chose to kill him, then resurrect him using the Impure World Reincarnation to control him.
"I know the seals for the Impure World Reincarnation. I can break free from your control," Orochimaru stared tightly at Lexon and said.
Although the Impure World Reincarnation was powerful, it also had weaknesses.
That is, if the resurrected person knew the seals of the Impure World Reincarnation, they could release the caster's control over themselves.
Of course, there were solutions, such as wiping out the will of the resurrected person, turning them into a mindless fighting machine.
But this would run counter to Lexon's purpose.
Lexon wanted a rational Orochimaru, not a mindless fighting machine.
With this slippery snake's combat power of at most two Kakuzus, what use would he be? A side dish for rice? Wouldn't he be slapped to death by Lexon in one go?
"The Impure World Reincarnation requires the caster's chakra as support to be maintained for a long time. You should know this, right?" Lexon looked at Orochimaru, his gaze indifferent.
His meaning was obvious. Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation body needed his chakra as long-term support to a certain extent. If Orochimaru formed the seals to release the relationship with him, he would have to use his own soul as consumption to sustain the existence of the Impure World Reincarnation body.
If this continued, within a few years, Orochimaru's soul would be completely destroyed, and he would die thoroughly.
He wouldn't even be able to go to the Pure Land of reincarnation where the Sage of Six Paths existed in this world.
And because the soul was bound in the Impure World Reincarnation body, even if Orochimaru wanted to use soul reincarnation forbidden jutsu like Living Corpse Reincarnation to cling to life... he couldn't do it.
He could only gradually die within the Impure World Reincarnation body.
Therefore, hearing Lexon's words, Orochimaru fell silent again.
He didn't want to die. He still had many goals unfulfilled: he hadn't destroyed the Hidden Leaf, hadn't researched the multitude of things in the world, hadn't understood the truth of ninjutsu...
However, his ambition and personality made him unwilling to submit to others and completely obey their orders.
He lowered his head, hesitating, thinking, choosing.
"Moreover, if you do well, I might resurrect you completely," Lexon suddenly said leisurely.
Hearing this, Orochimaru suddenly raised his head to look at him.
