Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 403 Installation Spell

Madara is different from other ninjas. Others either "kneel down" or don't want to kneel down and give up "making money".

Ban wanted to make money while still standing up.

When he was deceiving Obito, that was the case.

While maintaining a high-class image, he also acts as a mentor who cares about the younger generation.

At that time, Madara had already given the Rinnegan to Nagato. He was old and frail, and relied entirely on the Gedo Mazo to prolong his life. He was extremely weak.

The only backup plan is a Sharingan in one of his unfortunate eyes, which is used to provide vision in case he needs to activate Izanagi.

This moment is just like that moment back then.

So now he is extremely weak, and the fact that he is a resurrected body also means that he is immortal.

It's even better than the previous single-use Izanagi.

Then, he could perhaps regard Granny Chiyo as Obito from the past.

However, he couldn't make it too obvious; he had to find a reason.

Otherwise, Tobirama would definitely notice something was wrong.

Madara had already gotten information out of Hashirama that Tobirama and Orochimaru were currently in the process of researching new techniques and would not interfere unless absolutely necessary.

This means that he only needs to find a suitable reason to avoid Tobirama's initial scrutiny, and then he will have a chance to take advantage of Tobirama's inattention to complete his plan and successfully revive!

"Honey, we've pretty much seen Amegakure. Take me to see Konoha now, and then I want to see all five great ninja villages to see what the ninja world is like now."

After Hashirama returned from shopping, Madara spoke in a quiet tone.

This is the simplest and most direct method Madara came up with: directly proposing to visit all five great ninja villages, thus concealing his true objective of going to Sunagakure.

As for Hashirama, who was to go with him?

Without Tobirama's surveillance, Hashirama could easily make up some excuse to get away with it.

"Alright, but I still want to..."

Hashirama was very happy and pleased that Madara had taken the initiative to ask to see the five great ninja villages.

This means that Madara is willing to understand and accept the current ninja world.

However, Hashirama was still thinking about the technique that would give the reanimated body senses.

After all, he bought so much delicious food, intending to enjoy a meal once he felt like it.

Besides, traveling to five major countries with Ban Zhou, that can be considered tourism, right?

If you don't feel anything while traveling, and there's no fun in eating, drinking, or having fun, how boring would that be?

"Um."

Ban looked uninterested but casually agreed.

His original goal was to restore his senses.

In particular, his current body is too weak, and he has almost no senses.

Only after regaining his senses could he confirm many things.

For example, he would have to confirm whether Granny Chiyo's forbidden resurrection technique was reliable.

Lacking sensory abilities, he could only perceive things through his body.

"Alright, let's go!"

Hashirama was overjoyed to see Madara agree and began to rush towards the laboratory, pushing his wheelchair.

As a VIP user (research subject) in the Amegakure experimental facility, Hashirama Senju naturally had access to a prestigious VIP passage.

What's more, the second generation just came here to say hello.

Therefore, Hashirama and Madara didn't need to queue or contribute points; they were directly assigned to their roles.

"Madara, look, this is the majesty and dignity of the God of Ninjas."

Hashirama proudly raised his chin, like a child showing off a toy to a friend.

"idiot."

Ban cursed in a flat tone, but felt something was off inside.

This feeling of smooth sailing made Ban feel like he was cutting in line to enter the crematorium incinerator.

Fortunately, Madara didn't see Tobirama again; it was Orochimaru who set up the jutsu for them.

There was nothing wrong with the process...

"Wait, what are you trying to put inside me?"

Halfway through, Madara suddenly called out to Orochimaru, looking wary.

He hadn't forgotten that Tobirama, in his previous body, had placed a drug targeting chakra!

Orochimaru's actions are now highly suspicious!

"You mean this?"

Orochimaru gestured to the scroll in his hand. "This is just an ordinary sealing scroll. Can't you even tell the difference, Madara-sama? Oh, right, Madara-sama doesn't have sensory abilities right now. That was my oversight."

"...A sealing scroll?"

Orochimaru's words reflected his true thoughts, but they sounded sarcastic and unsettling to Madara.

"This technique can only restore sensation, not the function of organs. If I had to describe it, it's like a kind of illusion technique applied to the body resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation."

Therefore, if you want to enjoy food using this technique, you must place a scroll inside your body; otherwise, the food will not be digested and will only accumulate in your body after you swallow it.

Orochimaru provided an explanation.

This idea was given by Scorpion, the creator of the technique.

When the scorpion uses his sense of taste to sample some poisons, some of which are corrosive, he places a container in the throat of his human puppet to contain the poison.

This gave Orochimaru the idea of ​​installing a sealing scroll inside the reanimated body.

Upon learning the reason, Madara said nothing more and obediently allowed the sealing scroll to be installed.

However, what Madara didn't know was that the sealing scroll had a storage capacity.

It's not that Ban didn't know, but rather that he overlooked or didn't pay attention to this detail.

Like before with Yekura and the others, Orochimaru knew they were going to eat, so he gave them a few extra scrolls.

Anyway, it's extremely convenient to install the Edo Tensei body; you can just have someone or yourself deliver a heart-piercing punch and put the scroll inside.

But Orochimaru didn't remind Madara and Hashirama of this.

Moreover, the scroll between the pillars is indeed empty, but the inside of the scallop contains something.

Furthermore, because the scroll has been modified and is always open, once it is full, the first thing put in will come out.

The first thing put into the scroll was the sister medicine that Tobirama had specially made.

According to Tobirama's tests, this chakra-targeting drug, when applied to Sasori's techniques, produces an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Tobirama had not yet conducted any human experiments on the specific effects, nor had he ever done so, deciding to wait and see Madara's reaction.

What? You're saying Tobirama swore an oath that he couldn't attack Madara after being resurrected using Edo Tensei?

Yes, he didn't make a move; wasn't it Orochimaru who did?

And so, a time bomb was planted in Ban's body.

Similarly, this procedure also presents a significant problem for people with freckles.

This technique can be freely activated and deactivated, but that requires a certain amount of chakra and precise chakra control.

The requirements aren't high; reaching the basic level of a Chunin is enough.

But given Ban's current situation, it's clearly impossible for him to do so.

In other words, Ban cannot perform a closure procedure.
