"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with Konoha anymore." Minato whispered.
Things were different.
Their identities had also changed greatly.
The heroes who once guarded Konoha were now on the opposite side of Konoha.
The decaying darkness was still lurking in Konoha, absorbing fresh nutrients.
Such a fate was really ironic.
"I will let Yondaime follow you back to Oto Village. He will use Reiatsu to cooperate with your research." Naruto said with a smile.
"It seems that Naruto-kun is very thoughtful." Orochimaru smiled evilly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and showed a rather playful expression: "By the way, what is Naruto-kun's attitude towards Konoha?"
"Konoha?" Naruto put away his warm smile and said expressionlessly, "I just want to study higher levels of power. If they stop me, I won't mind killing them."
Naruto turned around and faced Orochimaru, his body emitting a cold aura.
His tone was firm and cold.
"I told you, we are the same kind of people."
"Yes, we are the same kind of people. It is very interesting for me to join your research." The face of Orochimaru became dizzy, and his eyes were full of morbid desire for research.
"From your description, this might be the way to immortality, so I naturally won't miss it."
"Then why did you come to Konoha this time?" Naruto asked in an equal tone.
Orochimaru did not mind Naruto's tone, and answered without hiding anything: "I came this time for the collapse of Konoha. I don't know if you know the complexity of the higher-ups in Konoha."
"I know, Danzo and Sandaime, right?"
"Not bad." Orochimaru nodded and looked at Naruto with admiration: Danzo and I have reached an agreement to kill Sandaime through the organization's collapse plan. This way, Danzo will have a chance to rise.
"I can also obtain a large number of Ninja's corpses, and even the blood inheritance Ninja can use for research. Without Sandaime's control, Danzo's movements will be even more unscrupulous. I think it might affect you." Orochimaru revealed a meaningful smile.
"Sandaime, you can't kill him." Naruto shook his head.
"Why?" Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Because he will be one of the main characters who will witness my gift to Konoha." Naruto turned his head, his eyes extremely calm, so calm that it made one's heart turn cold.
From Naruto's eyes, Orochimaru seemed to see that dark childhood and the reason and calmness that came from endless malice.
Although he looked elegant and easy-going on the outside, in reality, his heart was cold, and he would only move toward his goal.
For this kind of person, he could not be bound by fetters at all.
Just like himself.
Even though he was extremely close to Jiraiya and Tsunade, he would leave whenever he wanted and never turn back.
Orochimaru also believed him.
The "gift" that Naruto mentioned was definitely the most brilliant scenery of this Shinobi world.
His heart was filled with anticipation, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a perverted smile. His slender tongue stuck out like a poisonous snake and licked around his lips.
"Since Naruto-kun is so interested, then I'll try my best. After all, Sandaime is also a Kage rank expert. If I go too far, I might die. So, I will try my best to cripple him, so that I can achieve my goal."
"Good."
Both sides reached a consensus, and the process was unexpectedly smooth.
For some reason, the more Naruto looked at Orochimaru, the more pleasing he became. Orochimaru was just like a crazy scientist.
In order to research, he didn't care about gender.
Orochimaru also admired Naruto very much.
If not for Naruto's Kyubi being sensitive, he would have directly invited Naruto to join the Oto Village.
At this time, Minato had already returned to the sealed space. He looked at this scene with slight worry.
From the past events, it could be seen that:
Orochimaru was undoubtedly a cold poisonous snake.
No one could predict when he would be bitten.
Minato naturally did not want Naruto and Orochimaru, who were dangerous characters, to cooperate.
...
The cooperation agreement between two sides reached an agreement, and they were very friendly and prepared to say goodbye to each other.
Before leaving, Orochimaru seemed to think of something, and he said, "Right, I will accept that kid Uchiha. He is a very important experimental material for me, and also a key chess piece for my original plan of immortality."
"That won't do. Sasuke is the person I like." Naruto's expression was gentle, and he spoke in a flat tone.
Hearing this, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura.
Rather than saying that he sneaked into Konoha to destroy his plan, it would be better to say that he was trying to get Kekkei Genkai.
In the past, he was directly defeated by Itachi's Tsukuyomi, and his heart was filled with desire for Sharingan.
Itachi was someone he could not defeat, and the only one left was Sasuke.
Orochimaru had already finished planning, luring Sasuke to join the Oto Village, and then occupying his body.
All of the plans were so perfect.
Unexpectedly, Naruto suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Orochimaru's tone was a bit unkind: "Naruto-kun, I already promised you that I wouldn't kill Sandaime. You should leave Sasuke to me, right? You can't be too greedy."
A cold and strong aura was emitted from Orochimaru's body, continuously pressing toward Naruto.
Naruto's expression was normal as if he did not feel any pressure at all. He said calmly, "Shinigami's research is already enough to satisfy your goal. You don't need to do anything to Sasuke."
"No, no, no. Shinigami's research is too unpredictable. Of course, I have to prepare a backup plan." Orochimaru said coldly.
"It seems that the negotiation is over?"
"Don't worry, Naruto-kun. I will only give Sasuke a small gift. That will increase his strength and won't hurt him." Seeing Naruto's displeased expression, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little panicked, afraid that Naruto would cancel their cooperation.
It was hard to imagine that Orochimaru, one of Sannin, would actually give in, but Naruto wasn't someone who would give up just because he gave a way out.
He was very principled, and also had psychological mysophobia.
The target he had chosen had to grow according to his plan. If he was defiled by Orochimaru, there would inevitably be many variables, and the momentum would inevitably affect his plan.
At that time, it was very likely that he would have one less worthy opponent.
Therefore, Naruto did not back down, and he was completely not Hollow in his heart.
"No, you can't touch Sasuke."
Being rejected again, Orochimaru's expression turned cold.
"Naruto-kun, you are too greedy."
"No, you underestimated the potential of Shinigami and Hollow." Naruto's tone was full of disappointment.
After negotiating with Orochimaru, he also included Orochimaru in his future plan.
But now it seemed that Orochimaru, who stuck to Sharingan, was too short-sighted.
"It's useless. Since Naruto thinks that Shinigami and Hollow have enough potential to make me ignore Sharingan, then prove it to me."
