Uchiha Tamahiko decided that after he found Orochimaru and returned, he would extract the Nine-Tailed. After all, there wasn't much need for the Nine-Tailed right now, as it could only increase Chakra reserves.
To make the Nine-Tailed willingly cooperate, a period of psychological communication is necessary, which is quite difficult to achieve.
During this time, Minato can help Fugaku calm the Konoha villagers and maintain order. At the same time, Minato can be used as a teleportation gate via Den Den Mushi; if anything happens, Minato can directly use Flying Thunder God to come to Uchiha Tamahiko and take him back.
Also, in the past few days, Uchiha Tamahiko would take some time to visit Fish-Man Island to check the situation. He found that the Marine truly couldn't get in; all their warships were blocked by Sea Kings. Only a few members of intelligence organizations managed to enter and discovered that the Uchiha Clan was not there at all.
Neptune and the others were also freed from mental control. When they learned what Uchiha Tamahiko had done, their faces turned pale. They frantically contacted the World Government via Den Den Mushi, reporting that Uchiha Tamahiko had escaped and was nowhere to be found.
They even had those few intelligence agents search all over Fish-Man Island, but they couldn't find anyone. Finally, Aokiji managed to break through the Sea Kings' encirclement, directly freezing an ice pillar to connect to Fish-Man Island and enter.
Upon realizing that Uchiha Tamahiko truly couldn't be found, and learning that Fish-Man Island had also been messed up by the Uchiha, he could only leave helplessly.
"I'm off. Konoha is in your hands," Uchiha Tamahiko said to Fugaku and the others.
Then, Minato directly used Flying Thunder God to transport Uchiha Tamahiko to the border of the Land of Fire, near the Land of Rice.
This was a coordinate Minato had left during the previous Ninja World War. Minato then immediately returned because he still had to have lunch with his son today, even if he could only watch him eat.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Uchiha Tamahiko then created three Shadow Clones and sent them to search for Orochimaru's whereabouts.
Intelligence indicated that Orochimaru had appeared in the Land of Rice. By now, Orochimaru should have already joined the Akatsuki Organization and was also seeking patrons, and the Land of Rice was a perfect target.
"Found him!"
Uchiha Tamahiko received a message from his Shadow Clone, stating that Orochimaru had been found in the newly established Otogakure.
So, Uchiha Tamahiko immediately rushed over, taking less than an hour.
In a secluded, relatively damp jungle in Otogakure, there was a cave. Uchiha Tamahiko walked straight in. The Ninja who appeared nearby were controlled by the Sharingan Genjutsu before they could even get close, standing still in place, essentially frozen.
After walking about two hundred meters forward, roughly five or six meters below the ground, he finally saw many lights.
"Hiss, hiss!"
However, as Uchiha Tamahiko was about to continue forward, several white-scaled snakes instantly emerged from the surroundings, baring their fangs and biting towards Uchiha Tamahiko.
But immediately, these snakes, like those in a snake charmer's hands, obediently coiled around Uchiha Tamahiko.
"A member of the Uchiha Clan, how strange. Didn't they say that Konoha's Uchiha had completely vanished from this world?"
Orochimaru's figure slowly rose from the ground.
Looking at the Uchiha's Sharingan, he showed a surprised expression.
"Let your real body come out and see me."
After Uchiha Tamahiko said this, he instantly moved, cutting off the head of this Earth Clone Orochimaru with one strike.
The Chakra amount was too low; it couldn't deceive the Sharingan at all.
"What is the other party's objective?"
"The Uchiha are currently being hunted by Konoha, right? Are they looking to form an alliance with me?"
Orochimaru's real body, in his laboratory, was dissecting something.
Upon receiving the intelligence from the Earth Clone, he couldn't help but wonder. The Uchiha showing up like this surely meant they had something to discuss.
However, the other party was a bit too arrogant. Orochimaru planned to teach them a lesson.
As soon as he pushed open the laboratory door, preparing to teach this reckless Uchiha a lesson, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"
Uchiha Tamahiko had no interest in explaining things at length to him, as he did with Minato.
He directly used his mental power to project a video for Orochimaru, showing various scenes from the Pirate King world, along with some ability introductions.
Orochimaru had no power to resist because his soul was damaged from using the Impure World Reincarnation, making him particularly vulnerable to Genjutsu. Coupled with Uchiha Tamahiko's current powerful mental energy, Orochimaru couldn't even break free using Genjutsu Release.
After about two minutes, Uchiha Tamahiko released the Genjutsu.
Orochimaru woke up with a blank stare, quickly regaining his clarity.
"Everything in the Genjutsu just now, was it all real?"
Orochimaru's face was filled with shock.
After all, there was actually another world with such strange combat abilities.
Devil Fruit, Haki—how fantastical were these abilities, similar to Bloodline Limits? A completely new world, with too many unknowns waiting for him to explore.
"Mm."
Uchiha Tamahiko replied, simultaneously raising his right hand to condense Armament Haki for him to see. He then punched the wall, directly creating a large hole. The power was no less than a typical Rasengan.
"This power, it's somewhat similar to Tsunade's monstrous strength, increasing destructive power and also defense?"
Orochimaru's eyes were fixed on Uchiha Tamahiko's arm, observing carefully, even reaching out to touch it, but Uchiha Tamahiko directly dodged.
Being touched on the hand felt a bit too strange.
"Have you thought it through?"
Uchiha Tamahiko then asked.
"You want me to serve the Uchiha, and the Uchiha can take me to that world?"
After Orochimaru finished speaking, he licked his lips with his tongue, looking utterly perverted.
"Bang!"
But Uchiha Tamahiko instantly pressed Orochimaru's head and slammed him hard against the nearby wall.
Because the Sharingan observed that Orochimaru's finger twitched, preparing to form a hand seal.
"Don't try any tricks. You're not irreplaceable; I just think your abilities are sufficient."
"To kill you, I don't need to waste much effort, understand?"
Uchiha Tamahiko warned.
Orochimaru, at this point, could be said to be at his most twisted.
A psychological pervert.
Without a warning, this guy would be hard to control.
And most importantly, threatening someone by controlling their heart with a jutsu was not very effective, because he could always switch to a new body.
Too shameless.
He didn't really have a way to control souls right now, so it was best to make this guy work willingly.
"Cough, cough!"
"Such powerful strength, is this obtained from that world?"
Orochimaru coughed up blood, but he was experiencing the force emanating from Uchiha Tamahiko. This level of strength, he feared, could only be achieved by the body of the Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village.
"Work for me, and I'll tell you the secrets of the world, and how you can obtain a perfect body, how about it?"
Uchiha Tamahiko began to tempt Orochimaru.
"Okay, I'm very curious about that world. You have to give me the freedom to explore it."
Orochimaru said.
He felt the same oppressive force from this Uchiha as he did from the Akatsuki leader.
He confirmed that he was not the opponent's match.
Since the other party was willing to offer compensation, he could still work for them in return.
Of course, Orochimaru would prioritize his own preferences.
"We'll talk about it after you've completed what the Uchiha need."
Uchiha Tamahiko did not agree directly.
For now, it was better not to expose information about the two worlds, especially on the high seas.
Becoming a target for everyone would be very troublesome.
"Alright."
Orochimaru agreed.
Some of the research he had originally envisioned now seemed unimportant.
He just wanted to go to the new world and truly experience what was different.
