An unprecedented expression appeared on Uchiha Sasuke's face, with a hint of strange mockery, and he looked at everything around him with great interest.

"Is this the scene where the Reincarnation of the Dead is fully unfolded? It's really disgusting."

The inexplicable meaning created when souls with a decaying smell gather together makes people unconsciously want to destroy everything around them.

Orochimaru was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized.

"Shui Mu, it's you!"

Then, Orochimaru's expression became even gloomier.

"It's really surprising. I thought you wouldn't interfere in this matter. You have the ability to see through the future, so you should understand that what I do doesn't hinder you!"

"No problem?"

He made a helpless smile with Uchiha Sasuke's face.

"I don't want to be nosy, but sometimes there's really nothing I can do!"

"Um?"

Mizuki's words made Orochimaru ponder for a while, then he asked tentatively.

"Is it because of you?"

Without waiting for Shuimu to answer, he continued to guess:

"If that's the case, then it means that you, who knew the future events, found that the situation was out of your control... So, I understand. Since you judged that it was impossible for me to obtain Uchiha Sasuke's body, you left a backup plan. What you did gave me a chance to succeed. This is really good news!"

"You are really perceptive. However, now that I am here, this loophole has been plugged."

"You won't know until you try."

Orochimaru, who originally maintained the image of a long-haired man in a kimono, instantly turned into a towering white phosphorus snake, staring at Uchiha Sasuke below with a fierce look.

"Let me see what you have learned from the Eight-Headed Art!"

Crisis contains both danger and opportunity. It is a test as well as an opportunity.

"Still want to hide in that fragile spiritual body? I won't be polite to you then."

"Since you are so anxious, I naturally cannot be rude..."

The butterfly wings behind him flapped, and a silver-haired man emerged from Sasuke's body and slowly flew into the sky, getting bigger and bigger. His pair of wings continuously spread scale powder containing spiritual fluctuations around him.

At the same time, without Mizuki's control, Uchiha Sasuke, with an expressionless face, gradually regained consciousness.

"Big snake, butterfly? I'm not dead, have the reinforcements arrived?"

The dangerous aura of the white phosphorus snake is naturally frightening, and the power contained in the butterfly wings that cover the sky and the sun is also extraordinary.

"Mr. Mizuki, I see!"

Just now, I was in a desperate situation only because of my carelessness and lack of preparation. Now, although the Sharingan eye technique still cannot reverse the defeat independently, it is enough to act as a helper.

In the eyes of Uchiha Sasuke, the white phosphorus snake is undoubtedly extremely aggressive, but the huge soul butterfly not only has the characteristics of alternating between reality and illusion, but even if it is shattered, it can also turn into small butterflies flying in the sky and reunite again.

Here, there are no gorgeous sounds, lights and shadows of ninjutsu, nor the solemnity of the battlefield and the various aspects of life. There is only silent mental consumption and extreme affirmation of one's own existence.

"Is this the scene of a direct confrontation between the spirits? I see..."

Uchiha Sasuke remembered himself struggling under Uchiha Itachi's illusion, and at the same time widened his eyes, watching the two predecessors reveal the essence of their spiritual power in front of their Sharingan, while also looking for opportunities to attack.

At this time, the mental backup that Mizuki had arranged for Uchiha Sasuke gradually began to take effect.

"The power you can mobilize is unexpectedly small. Do you have other backup plans?"

"Why is it so troublesome?"

Shuimu, who has butterfly wings on his back, is also a giant in the spiritual space. It is impossible for two creatures to have any intersection, but they are fighting in such an equal situation.

"I think you overestimate your spiritual power and underestimate Sasuke!"

It is undeniable that it was the butterfly effect caused by Mizuki's series of actions that led to a significant gap between Sasuke's attainments in spiritual practice and illusion and what was expected, but that was a difference in degree, not an essential difference.

The Sharingan is the best spiritual weapon. Sasuke, who was able to open the Three-magatama Sharingan early on, has an absurdly high starting point for his ability to resist mental damage. Not to mention, the illusion techniques inherited by the Uchiha family are not bad in themselves, but they lack targeted guidance.

Sasuke's current level is like a swordsman who has just learned the art and has a magical weapon. Although his swordsmanship is not good and he cannot hit people when fighting against real masters, he can still kill the enemy as long as he hits him. The sharp blade can cut you in half no matter you are a top master or an ordinary person.

Now Orochimaru is like a strong man who is fighting an evenly matched battle with the enemy, while on the other side there is a child with poor eyesight aiming at him with a sniper rifle. Being distracted, he naturally cannot fully utilize his home advantage.

After all, the Mizuki incarnation who is entangled with Orochimaru here is just a remnant of spiritual will. By transcribing the seal, it silently adds an insurance to Sasuke when he releases the second state of the Heaven's Curse Seal. It is still unlikely for him to defeat Orochimaru in the Reincarnation of the Dead.

Why is Mizuki not serious about rescuing Sasuke? Team 7 and Tenzo are chasing behind, and Uchiha Itachi is about to arrive. As long as Mizuki can hold out for a while longer, someone will naturally interrupt the process of the Reincarnation.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, as long as his life is not in danger, everything is fine. Too much experience may accelerate Sasuke's maturity.

The chakra spirit bodies hidden in Sasuke's body are far less numerous and troublesome than those in Uzumaki Naruto. As long as the Indra Chakra, which is not obvious, is not awakened and Mizuki does not make too many changes, there should be no impact. Naturally, it will not alarm the Six Paths Sage who is not yet dead.

The illusion of sealing this time, Sleeping Town, is, after all, only a temporary measure to temporarily support Uchiha Sasuke's mental thinking. After the power that Mizuki infused into it disappears, it will naturally disappear without a trace.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was at a loss in the spiritual battle, just needed such an important buffer period.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Sasuke will still die from his spirit being devoured in the end. If this is really disappointing, it would be better for him to die early so that Mizuki can find another way.

At the same time, he controlled Deidara to use clay to force back the pursuing physical clone of Mizuki and quickly escaped, while at the same time protecting the bodies of Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke who were trapped in the spiritual space beside him from harm.

"Something is wrong. It's taking too long."
