[...Rei?]
"The f*ck did you just say?"
[Not the reaction I was expecting...or maybe it was?]
"You're telling
the solution for preventing my potential ejection from this body is to find one of the most mysterious, hidden, and dangerous places in this entire world?"
[That's correct]
"I thought we were past you dicking around with
Notitia"
[Oh, we'll never get past that. But this little tidbit cos straight from the "other"]
"Was the 'other' high or sothing?"
[If it was, I wouldn't know]
"Shit. I wanted good news Notitia. That's not good at all, goddamn it!"
[Yeah...at this point I'm actually starting to feel bad for always delivering bad news to you]
After complaining a little more, Rei decided to move on
"Humph! 'Fair ga' my ass. Alright just tell , how does going to Ryūchi Cave help ?"
[If you're gonna understand, we need talk about barfy-mc-barfsalot]
"..."
[...]
"...What does Orochimaru have to do with this?"
[Surprised you managed to get that]
"Even when skimming over a comic book you pay little attention to, there are so details you just can't forget. And NO ONE could ever forget him"
Rei thought back to his ti reading the the "Naruto" comic books. In particular, the many appearances of Orochimaru and his grotesque habits of regurgitating objects from his mouth and snake-like abilities
[You know Orochimaru had a lot of crazy abilities right?]
"You an those weird powers he gained from all the immoral experintation he did on innocent people, I rember. He was the textbook psychopath of the series who got off way too lightly. Why?"
[His greatest powers like reconnecting his severed body with snakes, transforming INTO snakes, regurgitating new bodies free of damage, and stealing bodies. All of these powers stem from what is known as, "The Power of the White Snake"]
"You're saying that power is gonna help ? I thought you wanted
to go to Ryūchi Cave?"
[Orochimaru created that power after discovering the Ryūchi Cave]
"Where you going with this?"
[Your current problem is one of the soul. And the only type of Ninjutsu known to man that deal with souls are classified as "Tensei Ninjutsu1Reincarnation Ninjutsu". Orochimaru's ability to steal bodies, the "Fushi Tensei2Living Corpse Reincarnation" Jutsu, is a pri example of these forbidden techniques]
"These...'Tensei Jutsu'. They can help
deal with the soul of 'Rei'?"
[They're your best chance. At least, that's what the "other" said]
"He created 'The Power of the White Snake' after going to Ryūchi Cave...are saying I might find a hint there?"
[Maybe. You see while impressive as it is, the "The Power of the White Snake" is just an artificial imitation of the REAL power he sought at Ryūchi Cave. Due to his body being unable to handle becoming a sage. He correctly assud it was connected with the character Jugo, and his clan's unique ability to passively absorb the power of nature and transform their bodies]
"And what was this so called 'real' power he sought?"
[Unknown. The author never clarified it in the comic and before I could ask the "other" any further, the connection was cut. The last words it muttered were..."Dragon God"]
"Dragon God..."
[And while he couldn't obtain this power, just studying it served as the foundation for his most powerful Jutsu. More importantly, all of his "Tensei Jutsu". Now do you understand the importance of finding Ryūchi Cave?]
Taking in all this new information, Rei stopped to ponder before responding again
"...His body couldn't handle that power, which is why he failed and had no choice but to create an imitation. However, with my ??tsutsuki body, I could succeed and gain more power than he ever did"
[Which is more of a boon than you realize, and I'm not just talking about "Rei's" soul. Most don't even realize how dangerous Orochimaru TRULY is. Potentially he's probably one of, if not the most, powerful character's around at the end of the series. And he still didn't obtain this unknown power!]
"I thought he gained Jugo's Kekkei Genkai when he was 'reborn' from Kabuto's flesh?"
[Jugo's clan ability, "Sage Transformation
