Orochimaru's expression looked somewhat unpleasant; it was his first time being so disheveled.
His body was restrained in just an instant.
'This is the Mangekyo Sharingan?'
Before being taught a lesson by Itachi's genjutsu, Orochimaru had absolutely no defenses against the Uchiha's genjutsu attacks.
After all, his strength was already very powerful. If you told him he would be caught in a genjutsu without a sound or trace, Orochimaru definitely wouldn't believe it.
Rengoku's genjutsu wasn't weak to begin with, moreover he was using Mangekyo-level genjutsu eye techniques, of course Orochimaru fell into it.
"Welcome, to the Future World," Rengoku spread both arms wide, as if embracing the entire world.
Then his figure slowly dissipated into the air like a shadow.
The whole world began to change, and Orochimaru found that the surroundings had turned into Konoha Village.
But inside Konoha Village, there was already smoke and fire everywhere, clearly under invasion.
At this moment, Orochimaru suddenly looked up at the sky.
There, a figure stood backlit and unclear, but Orochimaru could hear the words very clearly.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Rengoku was continuously showing a movie to Orochimaru and Guren.
What he was using was exactly the "Illusion Realm" obtained from Fugaku.
If someone caught in this genjutsu dies inside the illusion, their spirit will be damaged.
Sure enough, Guren, who took a direct hit from Shinra Tensei, was already out cold.
In the real world, Guren was lying stiffly on the ground.
Inside the illusion, Orochimaru who was also hit suffered serious injuries.
"What a powerful genjutsu!"
Orochimaru felt that the injuries on his body were extremely real.
He had deep knowledge of genjutsu as well, and at this moment, his mental strength was completely unable to dispel Rengoku's genjutsu.
The world couldn't be changed, he could only change himself.
Orochimaru's body twisted and tore apart.
Transforming into a white snake with eight heads and eight tails, towering several dozen meters high.
It was the Yamata no Jutsu.
Orochimaru stood in the mouth of one of the snakes, "Interesting, even my imagined constructs can take shape."
'Such a genjutsu.'
What shocked him more came next. The Pain who used Shinra Tensei in the sky, after seeing the Yamata no Orochi, he reacted, "Orochimaru? You're not dead yet, still hiding in Konoha?"
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, and a brainstorm already began in his head.
Then his eyes turned frenzied.
"Amazing!"
"Amazing!"
"HAHAHAHA, truly amazing!"
Pain looked at the suddenly appearing Orochimaru and felt quite troubled.
Also, he had just used Shinra Tensei, and couldn't use his abilities again in a short time.
At this moment, Orochimaru's figure twisted from Yamata no Orochi back into human form.
"I agree!", Orochimaru's voice fell, and his whole body disappeared without a trace.
———
When Orochimaru opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the eye of a crow.
Orochimaru froze for a moment, then recovered.
He didn't pay any attention to Guren lying at his feet.
He just looked at Rengoku with shining eyes, "This isn't ordinary genjutsu, is it?"
Rengoku nodded, "This is a technique that peers into the future."
This kind of inconceivable statement didn't get a hint of doubt from Orochimaru.
Because Orochimaru had previously been affected by the remaining Kotoamatsukami from Shisui's remaining eye.
Orochimaru was too clever, his logical thinking was too strong. If the changes were too abrupt, Rengoku was worried Orochimaru would crack it using his logic.
So he used his own eye technique to lay a trap for Orochimaru.
To Orochimaru, this kind of future-peering power was immensely attractive.
For a researcher, it could save countless time.
Plus, he had just taken a hit from Shinra Tensei, and naturally became extremely interested in Pain and his eyes.
Orochimaru would think it was his own desire that led him to cooperate with Rengoku.
"It really is peering into the future?", Orochimaru's expression was full of astonishment.
Although Rengoku had used Kotoamatsukami to alter Orochimaru's trust level, other aspects of Orochimaru had not changed.
Rengoku also didn't implant false memories into Orochimaru.
So these things still had to be slowly explained by Rengoku.
Rengoku responded, "Let's go, I'll explain it slowly back at the clan."
Orochimaru followed Rengoku without any defenses, very naturally.
He didn't even care about Guren on the ground.
Rengoku thought that wasn't quite right, so he turned around and bent down to pat Guren's face.
Guren held her throbbing head and woke up, and the moment she came to, she tried to attack Rengoku.
But a red mark on her body immediately lit up.
Guren let out a miserable cry and fell again.
It was the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Seal obtained by Rengoku from Mui.
"It's fine, I've already become allies with Rengoku."
Though Guren was a little dazed, she still stood up enduring the pain, "Lord Orochimaru, this…?"
Orochimaru just gave her a glance, and Guren immediately shut her mouth.
Rengoku led Orochimaru toward the clan grounds.
Orochimaru recalled the events in the illusion and asked Rengoku, "What I just saw, when was that from?"
Rengoku casually replied, "Something that happens nine years later. The person in the sky is the leader of the Akatsuki."
"His eyes are the Rinnegan. Not only is his combat power formidable, but he also has all kinds of powerful abilities, even resurrection."
A look of interest appeared in Orochimaru's eyes, "Resurrect the dead?"
He had just been researching Edo Tensei, and was wondering if it was a shortcut form of resurrection, when Rengoku added:
"It's true resurrection, not a living corpse like Edo Tensei."
"With that power, even reviving Hashirama Senju is possible."
Orochimaru's expression turned extremely excited. He never expected Rengoku to bring such explosive news.
Then he asked again, "Did I die at that time?"
Rengoku shook his head, "You left a soul fragment with Anko, how could you die."
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and wiped his face, "You even know that."
This was a secret only Orochimaru himself knew. Rengoku really could foresee the future.
Rengoku smiled without replying, because they had already arrived at the Uchiha clan grounds.
The Uchiha clansmen, upon seeing Rengoku, all greeted him one after another.
Then, seeing the two beauties following behind Rengoku, they all showed strange expressions.
Rengoku didn't intend to explain anything to anyone, he directly led the group away.
———
Over in Konoha, the news had also been received.
Uchiha Rengoku had been attacked, but the details were unclear.
Rengoku possessed Mangekyo Sharingan and had very strong perception, so even the Anbu didn't dare to get too close.
Therefore, they didn't obtain any useful information.
They simply reported the incident, not knowing that the attacker was Orochimaru.
