"Just as I thought," Orochimaru murmured to himself.
The Ten-Tails is actually the Sacred Tree, but now, the Sacred Tree has been divided into two parts, one part consists of the nine Tailed Beasts, while the other is rely an empty shell of the Ten-Tails: the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Only by sealing the nine Tailed Beasts into the Demonic Statue can the Ten-Tails be revived. Once it fully transforms into the true Sacred Tree, soone with the Rinnegan can then absorb its power to awaken the Rinne Sharingan.
The Rinne Sharingan can only be awakened by those who possess both the power of the Rinnegan and the Ten-Tails. Furthermore, only by casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi through the Rinnegan can Kaguya be resurrected.
In Orochimaru's mory, this was indeed the case.
In other words, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is not rely a world-ending technique, it is also the key to unlocking Kaguya's seal.
"Is there any other way besides using the Infinite Tsukuyomi?" Orochimaru asked casually.
The reason he posed this question was that he suddenly thought of his current predicant. It seed that he only needed to seal the Nine-Tails and One-Tail into the Demonic Statue.
But if he did that, he would be sacrificing himself in the process. As the vessel, it was obviously not worth the risk.
"In my mory, this is the only thod," Black Zetsu responded respectfully.
"Oh?"
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. "I wonder… would it be possible to simply cut the moon apart using the Tenseigan?"
"Cut… Cut the moon?"
The mont these words were spoken, not only was Obito shocked, but even Black Zetsu, who had lived for over a thousand years, was utterly bewildered.
What was this Tenseigan Orochimaru was talking about?
And how could sothing like that… split the moon?
"Haha, just joking."
Orochimaru laughed it off.

An hour later, near the orphanage, space rippled slightly in front of a wooden house.
Three figures erged from a different dinsion, stepping out one after another.
"Zetsu, you go ahead first," Orochimaru waved a hand dismissively at Black Zetsu. "We'll discuss the details after I finish my work here."
"Understood."
"Obito, co with ."
"Alright."
Watching Black Zetsu leave, Obito followed Orochimaru without hesitation.
For him, nothing was more important than Rin.
As long as there was a way to truly bring Rin back, he was willing to cast aside all past grudges.

Inside a secret laboratory, Kabuto was explaining the lab's various functions to Kimimaro and Jugo. When he saw Orochimaru enter, he imdiately greeted him.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
"Sir!"
"Carry on," Orochimaru said casually before leading Obito toward a secluded chamber.
Inside the chamber, there were computers and various scientific instrunts.
One particular device stood out, it was a table with a helt-like apparatus resting on top. Nurous cables extended from the helt, connecting it to other devices.
Upon seeing the advanced equipnt, Obito looked confused.
"This is…?"
"This is a device that captures mory images," Orochimaru explained calmly. "If you want Rin to be resurrected with the sa appearance as before, you'll need to use this."
"Just lie down and put it on."
Hearing this, Obito was montarily amazed by the capabilities of such high-tech equipnt. However, he knew that Orochimaru was an expert in scientific research.
Without hesitation, he followed Orochimaru's instructions, removing his mask and outer clothing before lying down.
As the wires were connected one by one, Obito's mories were projected onto the computer screen next to Orochimaru.
They were all fragnts of his past with Nohara Rin—monts filled with happiness.

Technology had not only granted Orochimaru imnse power but had also made life far more convenient.
Ti passed, and under the combined efforts of shinobi from all over the world, the cities of the Land of Frost were being rapidly constructed.
Earth Release users, Wood Release users, and Water Release users all played vital roles in the process.
Although Orochimaru had agreed to help Black Zetsu resurrect Kaguya, he had taken no action in the days that followed. Instead, he focused on developing various life-improving technologies.
Power stations, high-tech manufacturing plants, and countless other inventions were steadily being introduced.
Of course, all of these developnts were funded jointly by the Five Great Nations.
At first, shinobi from different countries found it difficult to adjust to life in this city.
After all, it was a place where people from various villages converged, each with their own customs, habits, and past conflicts.
Such tensions made normal social interactions challenging.
However, with the clone army and Konoha forces stationed there, no major conflicts arose.
At this point, no ninja village dared to cause trouble in a city built by Orochimaru.
Anyone caught instigating disturbances would face severe collective punishnt, not only affecting themselves but also their families and the nation they represented.
With such harsh consequences, who would dare take the risk?
---
Namikaze Minato, who had been recomnded by Orochimaru to serve as the city's governor, was no pushover.
Even during the city's construction phase, he frequently organized social events to foster relations between different nations.
Did Minato lack his own personal faction?
Not at all, many people from Konoha had co to support him.
Apart from his own disciple Kakashi, there were also four personal guards who had originally served under him:
Yamanaka Ao, Shiranui Genma, and the young yet promising Gekko Hayate.
Additionally, with support from the Uchiha clan, a significant number of independent shinobi, and the 20,000-strong clone army partially placed under his command by Orochimaru, he had more than enough authority to manage the city.

By the 54th year of Konoha, the city, spanning nearly fifty kiloters was nearly complete.
This city not only housed the strongest shinobi in the world but also boasted the most advanced technology and the finest living conditions.
Electric lights, televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines were commonplace.
Microphones, headphones, and communication devices were readily available.
By Konoha Year 55, Orochimaru continued his technological advancents, establishing communication networks and inventing telephones and mobile phones.
By Konoha Year 56, with the assistance of Tsunade, Nono, Mikoto, and Kabuto, these developnts had reached the level of modern Earth.
Skyscrapers, massive digital displays, computers, and even virtual networks were all in place.

"What? You want to resurrect Kaguya?"
In a villa within the city, Tsunade, having just stepped out of the shower, wrapped in a bath towel stared at her husband in shock.
She couldn't understand Orochimaru's thought process at all.
It wasn't that he lacked empathy, but Kaguya was the ancestor of chakra!
"I do have that idea," Orochimaru admitted. "But don't worry, even if Kaguya is resurrected, I'll ensure your safety."
"You know that's not what we're worried about."
"Are you concerned that Kaguya will destroy the world?" Orochimaru asked with a smirk. "Then tell , what if I said that I believe Kaguya wasn't at fault? That the real culprits were her two unfilial sons, Hamura and Hagoromo?"
