Orochimaru's Doubts

But with only a thousand phones sold, only a small portion of Konoha had gotten one.

Everyone else had merely heard about them or watched from the sidelines.

They were also extremely eager to get a phone.

Many people who had not bought one today regretted it somewhat and planned to get one tomorrow to try out.

Orochimaru had no idea what Shimura Danzō was
