Chapter 283 Aburame Shisei Discovers the Anomaly

In addition, it can be used to test evil gods, so it has many uses.

But before he could even take action, his subordinates had already done the job.

Unroll the sealing scroll, place the piece of internal organ tissue in the center of the prepared technique, then take out the spores and catalyze them into White Zetsu.

Aburame Shisei clasped his hands together, and chakra surged forth. The jutsu on the ground glowed with a dark purple light, enveloping the White Zetsu.

White Zetsu let out a silent hiss, its body began to twist and decompose, turning into countless paper-like substances that converged towards the central tissue.

However, the result he expected did not happen; the paper scraps suddenly stopped the moment they came into contact with the tissue.

Instead of reforming into human form as usual, they floated and hovered in the air before finally falling helplessly to the ground and turning to ashes.

At the center of the procedure, the tissue belonging to Kato was completely intact.

The Impure World Reincarnation attempt failed.

Aburame Shisei stared at the tissue, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

There are only two possibilities for a failed Impure World Reincarnation: one is that the organization is fake, but the chakra fluctuations cannot be faked; the other is that the deceased did not die at all, and the soul has not yet entered the Pure Land and is still wandering in the mortal world.

If Kato Dan didn't die... then what about the corpses reported from the battlefield?

Aburame Shisei quickly recalled everything that had happened recently: the Land of Lightning's sudden invasion of the Land of Hot Springs was particularly abrupt and unexpected, unlike the work of Black Zetsu...

Their invasion created the conditions for the arrival of the evil god, allowing them to meet the evil god a second time.

He remembered that at the time, there seemed to be a man in black next to the Fourth Raikage.

Previously, his attention was entirely focused on the Evil God Cult, and he hadn't paid much attention. Now that he thought about it, the figure's style of dress was completely different from that of Jue's subordinates.

Firstly, it's not Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu never appears in front of him; this is an unspoken agreement.

The people he recruited were not unknown figures in the ninja world. Even if they wanted to hide their identities, they would use another identity to disguise themselves, not this method.

There was also the death of Kato Dan.

They were supposed to make the move, but it seems someone anticipated their prediction and preemptively created the illusion that Kato Dan was dead.

Aburame Shisei closed his eyes and sorted out all the illogical points in his mind one by one.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "So that's how it is... someone is playing a much bigger game."

He took out another communication bug and infused it with chakra.

Soon, Orochimaru's hoarse voice came from inside the insect's belly: "Zhicheng-kun, you're contacting me now, have you changed your mind?"

"Kato Dan isn't dead," Aburame Shisei said bluntly.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the communication line, followed by Orochimaru's deep laughter: "Heh... Interesting, very interesting. Tsunade has been depressed these days, and even the old man is awarding her honors and preparing for her funeral."

Everyone thought Kato Dan was dead, but he turned out to be alive?

But that's not right. My men personally examined it before and confirmed that it was indeed his body.

Aburame Shisei said, "I tried the Impure World Reincarnation, but it failed. My soul hasn't entered the Pure Land yet; it's still a living soul. The body may be real, but the soul may have been imprisoned or transferred in some way."

"Is that so? I thought that poor child would never see his father after he was born." Orochimaru sighed, then continued, "But since Shicheng-kun brought it up, does he want me to help him find his soul?"

Tsunade has a child!

This difference from the original work instantly sparked a new idea in his mind.

However, there is indeed an opportunity to confirm this now: finding Kato Dan's soul.

"Do you have a solution?"

"You can give it a try. I happen to have a secret technique that can track soul fluctuations that are strongly associated with a specific body, provided that the soul is still in the mortal world."

"Zhicheng-kun, you refused to trade with me before, did you already obtain his body tissue?"

Aburame Shisei didn't deny it: "So what if it is?"

Orochimaru's voice was tinged with grievance: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel the trust between us needs to be rebuilt."

After a moment's thought, Aburame Shisei said, "Regarding Jugo's flawed immortal body, I can give you a research direction."

"Oh?"

"His problem likely stems from the mixture and imbalance of his energy system. The massive physical energy that awakened too early far exceeds the control of his mental energy, naturally making him prone to going berserk. If we can guide him to specialize in one type of energy, or reorganize the power within his body, there might still be a chance to remedy the situation."

"That's a reasonable guess. But Zhicheng-kun, since you can see the problem, don't you have a concrete solution?"

"I have an idea, but I don't need to tell you everything," Aburame Shige said calmly. "This information is enough for you to help track down Kato Dan's soul. As for the follow-up... we'll make the next deal after you find his soul."

"Heh, you're still so cautious."

Orochimaru didn't seem surprised: "Alright, I accept. Give me half a day; I need to prepare for the ceremony."

"As for the location, I just happened to be sent here by the old man to take over Tsunade's position. I wasn't planning to come, but Tsunade developed hemophobia."

Of course, the most important thing is that Tsunade is pregnant, and the living genes in her belly are very attractive to him.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After the call ended, Shisei Aburame left the underground palace and headed straight for the Land of Fire.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru had arrived at the morgue. Seeing Kato Dan, whose face had been completely restored and who looked as if he were already alive, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's truly amazing that a person's soul can exist independently. I guess only you could achieve such an effect. But who on earth is so bored as to deliberately preserve your soul?"

Orochimaru was completely baffled by this. At that moment, he noticed the ordinary-looking little girl outside the room.

The other person noticed his gaze, immediately lowered their head, and looked extremely nervous, clearly hiding lies and secrets.

Orochimaru stepped forward, saying, "Little sister, don't be nervous."

"Your skills are excellent; you have a real talent for anatomy and restoration. It's a waste of your talent to just be an external staff member. Why don't you come and work under me?"

"Lord Orochimaru... It's an honor to be chosen by you. But I've always aspired to be a true medical ninja. So I'm sorry, I choose to continue following Lady Tsunade!"

"Are you sure it's Tsunade, and not Shiraki Strategist?"

The little girl's pupils dilated!

Orochimaru said regretfully, "What a pity, I was originally going to give them double the treatment!"

The girl instantly relaxed, looked up excitedly, and exclaimed, "Really?"
