Ding!
Main Task: Dominate the Ninja School
Task Description: The host has successfully defeated the Four Skipping Class Heroes and has gained the attention of teachers and classmates.
Now, there's only one more mountain to conquer to dominate the Ninja School! This mountain is none other than Uchiha Sasuke, the orphan of the prestigious Uchiha clan, a powerful wielder of the Sharingan, and the reincarnation of Indra, who possesses unparalleled dominance in the Ninja School.
The old king is dead, long live the new king! Please defeat Uchiha Sasuke to achieve the goal of dominating the Ninja School.
Task Hint: This is a main task, it cannot be refused or avoided.
Uchiha Sasuke? A mountain?
Gensou glanced at Sasuke, who had risked defecting from the village to seek his power.
Is this the mountain?
"Let me see your strength afterward," Gensou said to Sasuke.
"Okay!"
Sasuke, thinking that Gensou wanted to understand his strength to teach him better, nodded excitedly.
"Where are we going?" he asked impatiently.
Leading the way, Gensou replied without looking back, "A good place."
...
"Itachi, I brought him."
In the forest, Itachi, who was watching in the direction of the Valley of the End, heard his partner's voice.
Without a change in his expression, he turned around, fixing the head of Sakon on Kisame's shoulder with his right hand. Their eyes met, and the three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly.
Soon, Sakon's eyes, filled with confusion, gleamed with joy in the illusion: "Lord Orochimaru! We successfully brought back Sasuke."
Itachi withdrew his hand and said flatly, "We have located Orochimaru. Inform the leader."
Kisame snapped Sakon's neck and nodded.
Soon, through the ring communication, Pain received the information and passed it to the closest pair of artists.
"Yo~ Sasori, we found Orochimaru's whereabouts. Hmm," Deidara exclaimed excitedly.
"That filthy snake, this time I'll skin him alive!" Sasori's eyes were filled with cold light.
Heretics always despise apostates more.
As fellow seekers of eternity, Sasori had always been unfriendly towards Orochimaru. During the previous hunt for Orochimaru, he was the most active.
But Orochimaru kept hiding deeper, and for a long time, there was no trace of him.
Finding his lair this time made Sasori more excited than ever.
"Let's go!"
"Alright!"
Deidara threw a small clay bird that instantly expanded, carrying him and Sasori. With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, flying swiftly towards Orochimaru's lair.
"Ah!!! Where is Sasuke? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Orochimaru's pained roars echoed through the underground base.
Kabuto, observing Orochimaru's condition, pushed his glasses up with a serious expression and said, "None of the medicines are working. This won't do. Lord Orochimaru, you might need to consider the backup plan."
"Where is Sasuke?" Orochimaru asked unwillingly.
Kabuto shook his head, "No news for a long time. It's likely that the mission failed."
"Even Kimimaro can't do it..."
Looking at his burning, painful hands and feeling the unbearable burden on his soul, Orochimaru finally faced reality and said, "Then..."
Boom!
Before he could finish, an explosion from above interrupted him.
Kabuto's face changed. He grabbed Orochimaru and flashed out of the room.
The next second.
The ceiling of the room collapsed.
Along with it came a shout filled with joy.
"Art is an explosion! Hmm!"
Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions echoed in the underground base.
Orochimaru, having steadied himself, looked up with an ugly expression, "Two troublesome guys have come."
As his voice fell, two figures descended through the hole in the ceiling.
Amidst the dust, the red cloud uniforms of the Akatsuki organization loomed.
Seeing them clearly, Kabuto understood why Orochimaru's face looked so bad.
Quickly, with one hand on his hip and the mouth on his other hand chewing clay vigorously, Deidara smiled and said, "Orochimaru, the traitor, finally we meet again."
"You filthy snake in the gutter, you won't escape this time," Sasori, hidden within Hiruko, said with killing intent.
"Really?"
Orochimaru sneered.
No time to ponder why the Akatsuki found this place now, Orochimaru glanced at Kabuto.
Kabuto nodded, preparing for battle, and said, "Lord Orochimaru, go do what you need to. Leave this to me."
Orochimaru decisively turned and headed deeper into the base.
"Kill him!"
Suddenly, Sasori's voice rang out.
Accompanied by a hand seal he made.
Sand Brain Manipulation!
A technique that uses a small needle to pierce the memory center of the brain, sealing the target's memories. Once the seal is lifted, the needle disappears, and the memories are restored.
The moment Sasori saw Kabuto, he recognized his former informant.
At this moment, he decisively lifted the memory seal.
Kabuto felt his brain swell, and a surge of additional memories flooded his mind.
"So... that's how it is."
Kabuto fully recognized himself.
Following Sasori's command, he turned and struck at Orochimaru.
Then, Orochimaru ran even faster towards the depths of the base.
Orochimaru never once looked back.
Seeing this, Sasori's confident pupils shrank, his face looking grim.
Beside him, Deidara shrugged and said, "I don't know what happened, but Sasori, it seems you were tricked."
"Attack!"
Sasori, never expecting his controlled pawn to betray him, said coldly.
"Should have done this earlier."
Deidara threw a handful of explosive clay grasshoppers that hopped swiftly towards Kabuto and Orochimaru.
"This is really troublesome. Let's hope Lord Orochimaru succeeds in the body transfer."
Kabuto turned around, sighed, and took on the task of stopping the enemy.
The fierce battle began.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Wind Style: Pressure!"
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust!"
Under the terrifying storm of gold dust, the underground base collapsed completely. Sasori and Deidara barely escaped.
Blowing the dust off, Scorpion looked at the transformed Orochimaru, the unconscious, dying Kabuto, and two other notable figures. His tone was displeased: "Still a step too late."

====
The ground was covered in sand and dust.
Under the Edo Tensei, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, first glanced at the puppet master, Sasori, who had just fought him, clearly recognizing the techniques of a Sand Village puppet master. Then, turning his gaze to the nearby Orochimaru, his eyes filled with murderous intent, he roared:
"Orochimaru!!!"
Like the Third Kazekage, he had died in a rather humiliating manner. After all, he never expected his ally Orochimaru to stab him in the back.
Even in death, he couldn't understand Orochimaru's motives.
"Long time no see, Fourth Kazekage," Orochimaru greeted his old acquaintance with a smile.
Thanks to Kabuto's desperate efforts to block them and the labyrinth-like layout of the underground base, Orochimaru had successfully completed his Living Corpse Reincarnation before the Akatsuki members arrived.
Although he hadn't obtained Sasuke's body, he had regained a certain level of combat power to deal with the current trouble from the Akatsuki.
Today's events had taken him by surprise.
It seemed as if an invisible hand had disrupted all his plans.
Orochimaru's golden slit-pupil eyes were filled with cold light.
He swore! He would investigate who was behind this and make them pay!
"Where is this place?"
Another voice interrupted.
Apart from the Fourth Kazekage, another person had been summoned.
Looking around with confusion, Reto asked, "Where is this?"
As a person from the Sand Village, Rasa quickly recognized Reto's identity and spoke respectfully, "First Kazekage-sama, this is the living world. We were summoned by the Edo Tensei."
"Edo Tensei..." Reto muttered.
The true fame of the Edo Tensei technique spread in the ninja world after Hashirama's death, during the reign of the unrestrained Tobirama.
In that era, the Kage from various ninja villages had encountered the Second Hokage. Reto's lack of knowledge was understandable.
Just as he was about to ask more questions, Orochimaru intervened:
"Alright, every time we summon someone, the old folks always have a chat. Let's end it here."
"Given the lesson from Gensou last time, we can't repeat the same mistake."
With that, Orochimaru formed a hand seal, intending to fully control the bodies of the First and Fourth Kazekage.
"Hagoromo Gensou? Why mention him suddenly?" Reto was taken aback. After so many years, he didn't expect to hear the name of someone who had left a deep impression on him from a younger.
But time was limited. Before he could learn more, Orochimaru wiped his consciousness away.
The brief journey of the First Kazekage in the living world ended.
"Now, it's time for a Sand Ninja battle," Orochimaru said with a malicious grin toward Sasori.
The First Kazekage, Reto, and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, quickly charged at him.
"How boring."
Having turned the Third Kazekage into a human puppet long ago, Sasori was indifferent to the so-called Sand Ninja, ignoring Orochimaru's "goodwill" as he joined the fight.
The battle between the Akatsuki and Orochimaru resumed.
Unaware that an old friend had briefly returned to the living world, Gensou led Sasuke across the ninja world.
There were many countries in the ninja world.
Besides the well-known Five Great Nations and occasionally mentioned countries like the Land of Waves, the Land of Hot Water, the Land of Fields, the Land of Snow, and others, there were many tiny countries that didn't even appear on maps.
Even a place the size of a village could be called a country. Even if the daimyo of such a country lived no better than an ordinary rich person, they were still referred to as daimyo.
Sasori's so-called feat of destroying a country was actually about these small countries.
The place Gensou was taking Sasuke to was also one of these small countries.
The Land of Spoon.
A country unknown to the general public but quite famous among rogue ninjas, bounty hunters, and black market merchants.
The reason for its fame was a ninja organization called the Village of Locks that sold information.
"I've been here before!"
After two days of travel, far from the Land of Fire, Sasuke recognized the steel bridge spanning the cliffs ahead.
It was from a mission he had undertaken with Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and other Leaf Village ninjas to exchange prisoners.
He recalled that the Leaf's prisoner was a woman named Hanare, who had ties to Kakashi.
"Is that so?"
Gensou didn't pay much attention to this and led Sasuke to the bridgehead.
There, a group of people was waiting.
Soon, they met.
Upon seeing Gensou, the leader of the group became extremely emotional and exclaimed:
"It's you! It's really you! You look exactly like I remember! Clan Leader, it's so good to see you again!"
The old man burst into tears, kneeling and paying great respect to Gensou, who appeared to be of his grandson's age.
The people behind the old man followed suit, full of reverence.
Gensou stepped forward, helped the old man up, and gestured for the others to rise. He sighed slightly, "Muteni, long time no see."
The snot-nosed kid from back then had turned into a weathered old man.
Seeing the old man's wrinkled face, Gensou could vaguely make out his childhood features.
Watching this touching scene, Sasuke couldn't shake a strange feeling.
If Gensou and the old man switched places, it might be a scene more in line with what people expected.
Moreover, having witnessed this, Sasuke was now deeply aware that the person he was following had lived through two lifetimes, having been resurrected.
Still young with a long future ahead, Sasuke was shocked but not as envious as others might be.
Disinterested in the touching reunion, Sasuke turned his attention to the people present.
He had identified the old man.
During the prisoner exchange, this man, the leader of the Village of Locks, had come to negotiate on this very bridge.
A battle broke out, and he, Naruto, and Sakura had cornered the escaping leader, ready to make him surrender, only for the leader to choose self-destruction.
Reflecting on it now, they had been incredibly naive.
The old man had clearly deceived them, faking his death with an apparent self-destruction while actually escaping.
"Indeed, the Leaf's ninja games only waste one's future."
With this thought, Sasuke continued to survey the group.
Soon, he spotted a striking woman among them.
"You're not dead?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask.
The woman, with a tear mole under her right eye, looked quite charming. Upon hearing him, she turned and, after a brief pause, smiled brightly:
"You're... Kakashi's student, Uchiha Sasuke, right? Long time no see. Do you remember my name?"
"Hanare."
Sasuke replied as memories of that past mission surfaced in his mind.
