In the midst of his work, Kiba nearly got hit by something Naruto had dropped, and he immediately started yelling in frustration.
But Naruto wasn't paying attention to him; instead, he stood frozen, staring at the screen in front of him.
"Orochimaru? He succeeded in the containment? What's going on?"
On the live broadcast from Sunagakure, Orochimaru could be seen standing in front of the IKEA store, with a group of monsters guarding it.
Jiraiya: "What the hell is going on! Orochimaru, why are you there?"
Orochimaru: "Oh my, I've been found out. I thought I was being quite discreet."
Tsunade: "Answer us! When did you get to Sunagakure?"
Orochimaru: "I've been here the whole time. I've been in Sunagakure for quite a while now."
Tsunade: "You scum! What are you planning?"
Orochimaru: "Why, selling the C-virus, of course."
Tsunade: "What did you just say?!"
Orochimaru: "Do you think yesterday's attack was only aimed at Konoha? I invited other ninja villages to witness the effects of the C-virus. They are very interested in its potential—whether for terror attacks or creating obedient subordinates. It's quite fascinating, really."
Jiraiya: "You monster! How could you do something like that!"
Orochimaru: "Oh, please. It's not my fault; they came to me of their own accord. Human greed isn't something I can change."
Tsunade: "Don't give me that nonsense! If you didn't introduce the C-virus, none of this would be happening! You're going to plunge the entire ninja world into a crisis of terror!"
Orochimaru: "Hehe, wouldn't that be interesting?"
Rhodey: "Virus? Monsters? This sounds like something straight out of an old zombie movie."
Tony Stark: "According to Orochimaru, this C-virus is designed to do exactly that. Imagine launching a war and having a zombie outbreak inside your enemy's ranks—utter chaos."
Diana: "Viruses are disgusting. Such reckless weapons will only bring death to everyone, including the user!"
Akainu: "Interesting. I find this virus quite compelling."
Garp: "Sakazuki, shut your mouth!"
"Now awarding Orochimaru: the Super Beast Creation Machine."
The electronic voice on the screen announced Orochimaru's reward, and a strange-looking machine materialized next to him.
"Hmm? A Super Beast? What's that?" Orochimaru asked, intrigued.
"The Super Beast is a creature far more powerful than regular monsters, with no sense of pain and an unstoppable drive to attack. It is the perfect biological weapon. The Super Beast Creation Machine can fuse ordinary monsters and animals to create these beasts," the voice explained.
Dan: "What! They're giving out a Super Beast Creation Machine as a reward now?"
Nick Fury: "Dan, you know what that is?"
Dan: "Yes. It's a piece of technology from the Aboran people in our universe, used to mass-produce creatures far stronger than regular monsters. Our Earth has been attacked by Super Beasts created by this machine before."
Diana: "So it's an invasion weapon from another universe!"
Orochimaru: "Haha! Creating Super Beasts, eh? Are they like the monsters from Leo's universe? They remind me of the Nine-Tails."
Tsunade: "Don't even think about it, Orochimaru! Our world doesn't have monsters!"
Orochimaru pondered Tsunade's comment for a moment, realizing that the Naruto world indeed lacked any naturally occurring giant monsters.
"Wait a second... What if animals mutated by the C-virus could become monsters?"
A grin spread across Orochimaru's face as the idea took shape. He had already experimented on animals with the C-virus, and the results were terrifying—far more dangerous than human zombies.
"Hehe, this could be an interesting research project."
The thought of fusing his C-virus experiments with Super Beast technology ignited Orochimaru's scientific curiosity, giving him yet another new pursuit.
"Hey, Orochimaru, what is that thing?"
A group of Sunagakure ninjas approached, their expressions wary as they eyed Orochimaru.
His Javo soldiers immediately moved to stand guard in front of him.
Seeing the grotesque, eye-covered monsters, the Sunagakure ninjas instinctively stepped back.
Kabuto: "Orochimaru-sama, the deal is complete. We've given them twenty doses of the C-virus in exchange for ten thousand civilians for experimentation and two million ryo."
Kabuto appeared at Orochimaru's side, giving his report.
Orochimaru: "Good. May our cooperation be fruitful. We'll do business again soon."
Orochimaru smiled coldly before forming hand signs, his body disappearing in a puff of smoke. It turned out that the Orochimaru in Sunagakure had only been a clone.
"See you next time," Kabuto said before signaling the Javo to lift the Super Beast Creation Machine. Together, they quickly left the area.
Jiraiya, who had been watching through the screen, couldn't help but curse under his breath.
He hadn't expected Orochimaru to emerge as the biggest winner of the day.
In just one day, Orochimaru had used the terrifying C-virus to accomplish so much.
It wasn't just Sunagakure—other ninja villages were surely getting involved as well! Who could predict what chaos would ensue in the ninja world?
"Dammit! I should have killed him when I had the chance!" Jiraiya fumed, regretting the mercy he had shown Orochimaru in the past.
Naruto: "Hey, Pervy Sage, shouldn't you be rushing to Sunagakure? They've got that dangerous virus now! If it leaks, the entire village could die!"
Tsunade: "Naruto, don't speak so recklessly. If we rush in without permission, we could start a war. Sunagakure isn't part of our nation!"
Nick Fury: "So, the Naruto world has different ninja villages for each country?"
Jiraiya: "That's right. Most of the time, each country has its own village."
Tony Stark: "If politics are involved, it makes sense. Interfering with another country's affairs could stir international controversy or even lead to war."
Naruto: "Are you saying we should just do nothing while they're in danger?"
Jiraiya: "Naruto, I understand how you feel, but we have to be careful about how we act."
Naruto stood on a ruined rooftop in Konoha, his fists clenched tightly. He looked around at the devastation that the C-virus monsters had left behind.
The once-thriving village was now filled with shattered buildings, and bodies were still being pulled from the rubble. Families cried in anguish as they found their lost loved ones among the dead.
Seeing this, Naruto couldn't accept the idea of standing by while Sunagakure faced the same fate.
