The current situation was already the best outcome Yei could have hoped for.
Orochimaru was a cautious man. After learning of Yei's strength, without sufficient intelligence or confidence that he could subdue him, he most likely would not make another move against him...
And from beginning to end, Yei had never intended to make Orochimaru his subordinate. That simply wasn't realistic.
Given Orochimaru's personality, he could never become someone else's lackey!
As for using the Cheat Ability to alter his memories, that was out of the question. When he had altered Daisei, Nami, and Tsurubami Ii's memories last time, they had been unconscious and unable to resist...
If they were awake, they would instinctively resist. One mistake could very well damage Yei's soul!
Orochimaru had definitely undergone specialized training in that area, or perhaps altered his body and soul. Things like genjutsu interrogation should be ineffective against him.
In some ways, memory alteration was similar to certain special genjutsu.
And this concerned his greatest secret. If it failed, the losses would outweigh the gains...
So cooperation was the best arrangement!
Of course, Yei still had to remain extremely vigilant. Orochimaru was a dangerous man, and their clashes would continue in the future!
A transaction? Heh heh... That was only for now!
As long as he exposed even the slightest flaw and gave Orochimaru a single opportunity, Orochimaru would not hesitate to strike at him!
But if Yei was given some time to grow, his strength would only increase with time. By then, Orochimaru would no longer be a threat...
Yei sank his consciousness into the panel—
