"Nagato, I underestimated you."

Orochimaru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up with a smile. At this moment, he did not hide his intentions at all, he stared at Nagato with bright eyes.

 "However, I will take your body, and it will belong to me forever after tonight!"

Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru quickly formed a seal, and his body suddenly changed sharply, it twisted and swelled, and finally turned into a large white phosphorus snake with a body length of more than ten meters.

This big snake's body is made up of countless tiny white snakes, its huge head is extremely ugly, and its mouth is big enough to swallow an adult human.

This is the form that Orochimaru transformed into after training eight branches jutsu. As long as he swallows Nagato, he can complete the ritual and enter the latter's body.

Nagato was taken aback when he saw Orochimaru transforming into a white phosphorus serpent, but he quickly calmed down.

"So your purpose is to take my body? Yahiko is right, you are the most dangerous person among the three. You are sinister, vicious and unscrupulous."

Nagato sighed with emotion and slowly raised his hands, the Rennigan fluctuated violently as he was ready for a big battle.

"Nagato, here I come!"

Orochimaru didn't talk too much, he just opened his mouth wide and rushed towards Nagato.

He had planned to steal Nagato's body silently, but he now he has to confront him directly and the battle must be resolved quickly, and the reincarnation ritual must be completed before it attracts the attention of the White Snake sage or the Snake Princesses.

"Shinra Tensei."

Nagato snorted coldly and it is naturally impossible that he would allow Orochimaru to get close to him, so he once again used Shinra Tensei and released a strong repulsive force.

"Bang!"

Orochimaru suffered another blow from Shinra Tensei. The huge snake body was difficult to maintain as a single entity, and it exploded in an instant and scattered into hundreds of small white snakes.

Under Orochimaru's control, these white snakes hissed and rushed towards Nagato to bite him.

Facing the continuous attack of snakes, Nagato's Shinra Tensei is not very useful, after all, there is a five-second "cool down".

So, Nagato released a black chakra stick with a sharp tip stretched out from his sleeve, and used it as a weapon to kill all the snakes coming towards him.

As long as they are delayed for a while, once the White Snake sage arrives, Orochimaru will completely fail.

However, Nagato clearly killed many white snakes and was not bitten by any snake, but his body became more and more paralyzed for some reason.

His movements became more and more sluggish, and he was finally overwhelmed by the swarm of snakes and fell to the ground.

Orochimaru's huge snake head looked down at Nagato from a close distance.

"Those white snakes that you killed, once their body fluids meet the air, will turn into anesthesia. This time, you weren't able to guard against it."

While speaking, Orochimaru opened his mouth, "Nagato, I will accept your body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swallowed Nagato into his stomach.

Inside it was a dark space, and blood-red flesh was wriggling on the ground. Nagato was wrapped in a pile of meat, with only his face exposed.

Under Nagato's horrified eyes, a mass of meat about the height of a person rose from the ground, and Orochimaru came out from it.

"Welcome to my mindscape, this is where I will take your body."

Orochimaru opened his arms and smiled at Nagato. As long as he devours Nagato's soul, he can occupy the his body and transfer his consciousness to the body that makes his dream come true.

Although the process has experienced some twists and turns, it seems that Orochimaru will finally get his wish.

"Orochimaru, the White Snake sage has just decided to accept me as her contractor, but you want to take my body. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by her? Do you really think you can hide it from her?"

Nagato questioned coldly, trying to struggle.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Orochimaru suddenly put his hand on his forehead and let out a burst of laughter, his body trembling with laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Nagato asked.

Orochimaru stopped laughing wildly, and shook his head as he said to Nagato:

"I laughed at your ignorance, as you don't understand the White Snake sage at all. All she wants is a contractor with the Rennigan. As for who that person is, it doesn't really matter. You may not believe it. Compared to you, I know the White Snake sage more. It If she knows what I have done, she might not only not be not angry, but will praise me for doing well. This is the natural law that the Ryuchi cave respects - the strong eat the weak."

"I see."

Nagato murmured, as if he had accepted his fate.

"Nagato, now that your defeat is destined, why don't you give up your resistance and take the initiative to join me. I can promise you that I will retake Yahiko and Konan from Obito, and ensure their safety and freedom, and let them live as peacefully as they can in this world."

Orochimaru leaned in front of Nagato and deceived him with his words.

The best case is that the host willingly sacrifices his body and becomes Orochimaru's container.

In that case, Orochimaru will not be repelled by the new body, thus achieving perfect reincarnation.

If Nagato resists stubbornly with his willpower, although he will inevitably be swallowed by Orochimaru in the end, it will definitely have a negative impact on the reincarnation.

"You, are you telling the truth?"

Nagato was silent for a few seconds before asking.

"Of course, because for me at that time, this kind of thing was just a little effort, why should I lie to you."

Orochimaru saw that Nagato's defense had loosened, so he continued to patiently deceive him.

"The last question, what are you going to do after you take my body? If you tarnish Akatsuki's reputation and bring disaster and trouble to the ninja world as me, I will never agree."

Nagato looked directly at Orochimaru, as long as the latter's next words showed any signs of lying, he would definitely not co-operate with him. 

Facing Nagato's question, Orochimaru didn't lie this time.

He stared at Nagato without looking away, and replied word by word:

"Nagato, you have the body of the Uzumaki clan and the Rennigan, and you are the most perfect container in the world. As long as I get your body, I will have the opportunity to realize my lifelong wish - immortality! By then, I will learn every ninjutsu in this world, to answer all the questions in the world, to become an omniscient and almighty existence, thus leading the ninja world to a peaceful and beautiful new era! Isn't this the future you want to see, isn't it the purpose of the Akatsuki? The so-called son of prophecy is the your body, plus my wisdom."

After Orochimaru said that, his expression gradually became frantic.

He firmly believed that he would become the son of prophecy, and using his knowledge to control Nagato's body, he would definitely become the second Sage of the Six Paths.

The snake, who was born to crawl on the ground, had a dream of soaring in the sky, so he set his sights on the young eagle in the nest that had not yet spread its wings.

This is Orochimaru's way of changing his life against the sky.

He uses knowledge and means to fight against bloodline and fate.

Orochimaru and Nagato, the former is a greedy snake, and the latter is a young eagle in the nest. At this time, the snake had opened its mouth and was about to swallow the young eagle.

"Nagato, what are you still hesitating about? Open your heart, accept me, and become one with me! I will make your name resound throughout the Ninja world for thousands of years!"

Orochimaru walked towards Nagato step by step, his eyes becoming more and more frantic.

"I... I refuse."

Nagato said slowly, his voice became cold, and he poured a basin of cold water on Orochimaru's dream.

"Why?" Orochimaru was stunned for a while, he brainwashed him for a long time, and it was all in vain.

"Because your dream inspired me, Orochimaru."

Nagato suddenly smiled and said with a fascinated face, "Learning all the ninjutsu in the world, analysing all the knowledge in the world, obtain eternal life and invincible power, and then bring eternal peace to the ninja world. Such a great Dream, instead of giving it to someone like you, why don't I make it happen by myself?"

"You…"

Orochimaru finally realized that Nagato had never thought of giving up his body and the Rennigan, but kept delaying time.

Forget it, even if it's not a perfect reincarnation, it doesn't matter.

At this moment, Orochimaru lost his patience and completely tore apart his previous facade.

'Gurgle.'

The meat mass squirmed and formed a big snake under Orochimaru's control and tried to swallow Nagato's soul into its belly.

"Nagato, you could have died peacefully and dignifiedly, without any pain, as long as you offered your body to me. But now, I will torture your soul and let you die in extreme despair and pain... "

Orochimaru's voice is like a devil from hell.

This is his mindscape. In this place, he is invincible, and he can manipulate everything here with his mind, playing Nagato with is a simple matter.

"Hahaha!"

Orochimaru couldn't help laughing wildly, as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life. However, just as he was about to fully appreciate Nagato's death—

"Woooo!"

In the mindscape, there was suddenly a loud eagle cry.

"What?!"

Orochimaru was startled and looked up quickly, only to see a majestic giant eagle swooping down from the sky.

Under Orochimaru's horrified gaze, the eagle unfolded a pair of sharp steel claws, grabbed the heart of the snake, and brought it to the air.

"Fizz!"

The big snake in the air hissed and struggled desperately, its body twisted wildly, but under the restraint of its natural enemy, it was unable to fight back, and was finally thrown down heavily.

With a bang, the big snake fell to the ground, bursting into countless clumps of flesh and blood.

Not far away, Orochimaru was also affected by this, and knelt on the ground with a plop, clutching his heart, his expression was extremely painful.

'Damn, what the hell is going on?'

He roared inwardly as he barely raised his head, and found that Nagato, who had been trapped in the meatball, actually came out and looked down at him indifferently.

Behind Nagato, the Rennigan image appeared in mid-air, like the eyes of a God, exuding endless mystery and majesty.

"This is obviously my mindscape, why..." Orochimaru said with difficulty.

"Because you don't know the true power of the Rennigan. In front of these eyes, your painstakingly designed mindscape is just a joke."

Nagato looked sympathetic, and while he spoke, his feet floated off the ground, "Orochimaru, as you said, this is a world where the strong eat the weak. It's a pity that you, who thought yourself as a hunter, are a poor prey. A weakling who will be eaten. And I am your God!"

Nagato then opened his arms, and under the influence of the Rennigan, the mindscape was completely controlled by him.

"How is this possible?!"

Orochimaru was horrified, he never expected to finally lose to the power of blood.

"Now, surrender to me!"

 Nagato suddenly shouted loudly, urging the boundless darkness to flood in like a tide, and the Orochimaru was swallowed up in an instant.

Outside Nagato's room.

The white phosphorus serpent, which was coiled up, slowly opened its big mouth and spit out Nagato, which had been swallowed in its belly.

The next second, Nagato opened his eyes and stood up from the ground. When he found himself sticky and covered with snake saliva and body fluids, he couldn't help frowning:

"Disgusting."

So he made a seal, summoned a stream of water, and washed his body.

During this period, the large white phosphorus snake on the ground gradually shrank again and turned into Orochimaru again.

"Have I failed..."

Orochimaru opened his eyes with difficulty, muttered, and then felt a sharp pain.

It turned out that Nagato created a black stick from his sleeve and penetrated Orochimaru's abdomen, and pinned the latter to the ground.

Orochimaru suddenly let out a painful roar, and subconsciously wanted to use the Orochimaru style Substitute jutsu to escape, but found that he wasn't able to use Chakra.

That's because the Chakra in his body was sealed by that black stick.

Orochimaru's face was ashen, and he realized that he was already a fish on the chopping block, and Nagato can slaughter him at anytime.

Thinking of this, he showed a wry smile and said, "I lost, do it."

'It's finally here.'

However, to Orochimaru's surprise, Nagato did not act immediately, but pulled out the black stick.

"For the sake of the White Snake sage, I won't kill you. But it's not that easy for me to let you go. You 

have to hand over something to me."

Nagato stared at Orochimaru, and his gaze put a lot of pressure on the latter.

"What do you want?"

Seeing that he can live, Orochimaru asked quickly, struggling to get up from the ground.
