"Here it comes, here it comes, that look!"
Sasuke's face remained calm, but a hint of tension inexplicably arose in his heart.
Why?
Facing this person, Sasuke's heart was very complicated.
It was he who had guided him to success back then, and it was also this person who wanted to seize his body.
But to be fair, after the Fourth Shinobi World War, besides having a good relationship with Naruto, he would also often visit Orochimaru.
"Oh, you're looking at me a bit strangely."
Orochimaru stroked his chin, then suddenly paused. Why was he imitating Nara Shikaku's movements out of nowhere?
Calmly putting his hand down, Orochimaru looked at Sasuke with a puzzled and thoughtful expression.
"Nothing, but do you need something from me? It's not for research again, is it?"
"That's right, it's for research!"
"You really understand me!"
Orochimaru seemed to understand a little, a unique serpentine smile on his face. He looked at Sasukeominously and slowly said, "I want to research the item you used to cross over."
"That's impossible. We still need it to take us back."
"That's truly a shame."
Orochimaru's thoughts stirred, and he looked at Boruto with interest.
Boruto shrank his neck.
He didn't know why, but no matter which world he was in, looking at Orochimaru made his back feel cold.
"You are Naruto's future son. Not bad."
Boruto: "…"
That's quite unnecessary.
I don't want to be targeted by you, sir.
"By the way, can you tell me where that item can be obtained?"
"The ocean!"
Orochimaru: "…"
Alright!
Can things already be obtained from the ocean in the future world?
Orochimaru's thoughts were nimble, and he looked at Sasuke excitedly: "Are there many treasures in the ocean?"
"Quite a lot, I guess?"
Sasuke thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't really paid much attention to that."
In his world, with the development of technology, combined with some Ninjutsu, things could indeed be salvaged from the ocean.
But he truly didn't know what good things there were specifically.
"I know, there are a lot of things."
Boruto raised his hand and said with a grin, "There's a lot of gold, silver, and jewels, and also very abundant resources."
"For example, there are fish that glow at the bottom of the sea, and some creatures that are said to have lived for a very long time. Last time I watched TV, I heard about a fish that had lived for five hundred years."
Orochimaru's eyes sparkled.
His breathing quickened, and he stared intently at Boruto: "Really?"
"Yes, that's what they say."
"Good, very good."
Orochimaru took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and turned to leave.
He had already gotten the answer he wanted.
Sasuke: "…"
He glanced at Boruto, a half-smile on his face: "You're truly quick-witted, you precisely grasped Orochimaru's desire for immortality."
Boruto scratched his head, lowering it to feign a shy smile.
…
"Naruto!"
Naruto, who was researching recipes with Nine-Tailed, looked up, saw Orochimaru approaching, and greeted him with a smile: "Orochimaru, you've come at just the right time. I was planning to have bullfrog hotpot tonight."
"Bullfrog hotpot?"
Orochimaru was a bit confused, shook his head, shaking off the boiling hotpot from his mind, and stared at Naruto with fiery eyes.
"I'm not into that!"
Naruto was speechless: "Just say what you need. No one can withstand that look of yours."
"Let's go develop the ocean."
"What, you want to be the Pirate King?"
"Pirate King?"
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow: "No interest. To put it bluntly, they're all thieves. I'd be idle to do such a demeaning thing."
Got it!
This is a difference in perception.
When he watched One Piece back then, he also thought pirates were cool.
Oh,
That's right.
It truly lives up to the name of Pirate King; it's all water, the plot is so watered down it makes one want to smash their computer.
"You must have heard something from Future Sasuke and Boruto, right?"
Naruto went straight to the core: "We definitely won't let go of the ocean, but not now."
"Are you talking about this current operation?"
Orochimaru frowned, feeling very dissatisfied with the Land of Wind.
They had all witnessed Naruto's strength, yet they were still jumping around like clowns, wasting time.
Why couldn't they just obediently offer up the Land of Wind?
"I have something good for you."
Orochimaru beckoned, signaling Naruto to follow him.
Soon,
Led by Orochimaru, Naruto followed him all the way to the laboratory.
"Lord."
Yakushi Kabuto was surprised to see Narutoapproach.
This was Naruto's first time visiting their laboratory, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
"Naruto!"
Karin ran over, looking at Naruto excitedly.
Naruto's expression was gentle: "How do you feel here? Are you used to it?"
"I'm used to it!"
Karin was very well-behaved in front of Naruto, saying softly.
"Mm, good. If you need anything, work hard yourself. That's the most correct path."
Orochimaru: "…"
Yakushi Kabuto: "…"
Alright, that's very Naruto.
Karin nodded solemnly; she thought so too.
At least she was very happy here now.
This was incomparable to her previous Village.
"Let's go, follow me."
Orochimaru looked at the few people catching up, beckoned, and led Naruto towards the deepest part of the laboratory.
"Lord Orochimaru is going to…"
Pushing up his glasses, Yakushi Kabuto was stunned for a moment, his expression serious.
That place contained one of Lord Orochimaru's most researched items.
It seemed Lord Orochimaru had encountered something.
Looking at this scene thoughtfully, Yakushi Kabutothought for a moment, then hurriedly followed.
He also had a share in the things inside.
Although Karin was curious, she was just a newcomer and not qualified to enter the deepest part. She could only regretfully vow in her heart to work hard.
"Go, Karin, you can do it! You must grow into the talent that Big Brother Naruto needs."
"Charge!"
In the corridor, the young girl's tender yet firm voice echoed.
…
"This is it."
Orochimaru led Naruto to a warehouse in the depths, looking at the warehouse with some nostalgia: "You know, a few years ago, I was researching mechs in the Akatsuki Organization."
"I actually know about that. You told me. So, was the research successful?"
"No."
"That was too complicated. Although there was some progress, it was tasteless to keep and a shame to discard."
Orochimaru sighed: "I suddenly miss Sasori of the Red Sand. That guy was also a talent."
"Although I didn't research a proper mech, it allowed me to research something different."
"What?"
"You'll know once you go in."
Orochimaru kept them in suspense and opened the warehouse door.
Inside the door, many things were covered by special materials, making them indistinguishable.
"Kabuto, go show the Lord our semi-finished product."
"Okay!"
Yakushi Kabuto rubbed his hands and pressed a button nearby.
Immediately, the covering material was pulled back, revealing the mysterious veil within.
Naruto: "…"
Nine-Tailed and Shukaku occupied Naruto's two shoulders, and they too were now staring dumbfounded at the scene before them…
