Orochimaru, are you interested in working for me?
Uchiha Nan looked at Orochimaru in front of him and stated his thoughts simply and directly.
Orochimaru!
Would you be willing to be my fifth ox or horse?
Although Orochimaru in this world has completely transformed into a villain, single-mindedly pursuing immortality,
They even completely abandoned their principles and moral bottom line... using ordinary, innocent villagers of Konoha for experiments. Even in the original world, Uchiha Nan would not tolerate such behavior.
However... Uchiha Nan still admired Orochimaru's talent and abilities; useful people are often given special consideration.
We'd love to have as many cattle and horses as possible.
so.
Even though Orochimaru had fallen to such a low point, Uchiha Nan was still willing to give him a chance. After all, Konoha didn't lack Orochimaru's experimental resources, nor did it lack death row inmates who were willing to sacrifice themselves for Konoha. As long as he met Orochimaru's research needs, he wouldn't be foolish enough to risk being killed by him to cross the line.
"Sorry, I don't have that thought right now."
Orochimaru was slightly taken aback.
He clearly hadn't expected Uchiha Nan to suddenly recruit him, and immediately rejected Uchiha Nan without a second thought.
He has already established his own ninja village, and has several wealthy patrons in the Land of Rice Fields supporting him. His research funding is also quite ample... There's absolutely no need for him to... work under someone else for a living.
Relying on heaven or earth is not as good as relying on yourself!
"Ah... this really hurts me... the conditions I offered were exceptionally generous... and you weren't even interested in hearing them."
"You're not cute at all now; you're nothing like you were when you were little."
"Um?!"
Orochimaru's face immediately showed an expression of embarrassment and anger, and his pupils emitted a threatening light.
This is the kind of tone you'd expect from an elder...
It made him feel uncomfortable all over!
I am Konoha Sannin, one of the Orochimaru of Konoha, renowned throughout the Ninja world!
"They still need education!"
Uchiha Nan saw through Orochimaru's arrogance. This wicked snake was not the harmless Orochimaru from his own world. He wouldn't obediently work for him unless he was suppressed by force.
We must ruthlessly suppress them once!
then...
Uchiha Nan no longer concealed his aura, his eyes instantly switching to Rinnegan mode, and he slowly flew up, opening his arms as if embracing the entire world.
"Accept the pain!"
"Know the pain!"
"If a child misbehaves, a good beating will fix it!"
"Wait a minute..."
Orochimaru's face flashed with terror. Were those eyes the Rinnegan? When did a second pair of eyes like that appear in the Ninja world...? No way...
Shinra Tensei!!
Uchiha Nan didn't give Orochimaru a chance to continue speaking. He immediately unleashed Shinra Tensei, a massive repulsive force that surged forth like a shockwave.
The ground shattered instantly, dust flew everywhere, and a destructive trail stretching for hundreds of meters appeared in Konoha. The huge explosion roared so loudly that all the villagers in Konoha involuntarily looked in that direction.
"So powerful... Is this Lord Nan's power?"
Sasuke slumped to the ground, staring in horror at Uchiha Nan's masterpiece. Was this godlike power truly something a human could possess?
If I possessed this power... wouldn't I be able to kill Itachi Uchiha?
A few seconds later... the dust settled.
Orochimaru's body bent at a ninety-degree angle. Of course... this level of attack was not fatal to Orochimaru, and Uchiha Nan had no intention of killing him. He had only attacked to make Orochimaru understand the difference between him and himself, so that... this bad snake would behave a little.
soon.
Orochimaru got up from the ground, twisted his body to return to his original position, and looked at Uchiha Nan floating in the air, his eyes flashing with an extremely complex light.
Interesting... interesting... a strange Uchiha... possessing another pair of Rinnegan... are he and Pain...? What secrets are hidden here...?
Orochimaru, have you thought it through?
"Are you willing to risk your life for me?"
Uchiha Nan questioned Orochimaru again. If Orochimaru refused again this time, he would have no choice but to kill him, and then Impure World Reincarnation... Don't think you can stop working just because you're dead!
"It would be my great honor."
As expected...
Orochimaru has already behaved himself.
Although he was always stubborn, in the face of true power, he accepted Uchiha Nan's invitation from the bottom of his heart in order to save his life.
He's just someone else's lackey.
We can agree to Uchiha Nan's request for now!
Later... I'll find a chance to sneak away.
Konoha couldn't keep him!
Even Pain, who also possessed the Rinnegan, couldn't save himself!
and.:
Orochimaru was very interested in Uchiha Nan's identity, origin, and Rinnegan, and he hoped to take this opportunity to find out the truth.
"Very good."
Uchiha Nan nodded in satisfaction.
He then briefly discussed his future work plans with Orochimaru.
They enjoy researching Kekkei Genkai, secret techniques, and immortality... Great... these are all excellent topics!
I strongly support it!
"There's no limit to research funding or resources. Your future colleagues will be the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Izuna Uchiha Tobirama Senju. You've definitely heard of Izuna Uchiha... you'll meet him eventually."
"Research projects... there are many... Hashirama Cells... Yin-Yang Release... Bloodline Limitations... and the Tenseigan..."
Or perhaps it's the immortality project you're most interested in. As for the Sharingan, Byakugan, Hashirama Cells, or other bloodline ninja techniques involved in the experiments, I can provide them all.
Orochimaru's eyes widened immediately, and his expression became extremely complicated.
That's all he ever wanted in his life.
The first goal is to pursue immortality, and the second is to learn all the skills in this world.
Because the arts are endless, that's why he seeks immortality.
Now, out of nowhere, a wealthy patron has appeared, willing to sponsor him and provide research resources that money can't buy. The only price he has to pay is sharing the research results... With such a generous patron, isn't sharing the research results a matter of course?
Dude, why didn't you tell me about this great opportunity sooner?!
Going through fire and water, boss!!
"What are the terms like? Are they very generous?"
"That's really generous!"
Orochimaru smiled and nodded. This was the first time he had encountered such a generous employer. His previous employer, Pain, led a group of crazy rogue ninjas who claimed to be saving the Ninja world. At first, Orochimaru was quite interested in this organization.
Saving the Ninja world Ninja world and bringing peace to it sounds interesting, but... Pain actually made him do bounty missions to earn money, saying it was to keep the organization running?
The Akatsuki has lofty ambitions, but it still needs time to accumulate strength and funds.
Isn't this a scam?
Orochimaru saw through this manipulative tactic at a glance, seized the opportunity, and readily accepted it, not even handing over the ring on his hand, treating it as payment for his work in the Akatsuki during this period.
certainly:
The Akatsuki wasn't the darkest.
When it comes to being ruthless, one has to be his former employer, Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi tempted him with the Hokage position. During his years in Konoha, he had served Hiruzen Sarutobi like a slave, completing 16 D-rank missions, 332 C-rank missions, 521 B-Rank Mission, 491 A-rank missions, and 108 S-rank missions. Minato Namikaze, had less than a third of Orochimaru's S-rank missions, only two-thirds of his A-rank missions, and less than half of his B and C-rank missions, totaling 1500 missions. Assuming Orochimaru started missions at age twelve and continued until age 37 (25 years), averaging sixty missions per year, one mission per week, with increasing difficulty based on strength and age, and also participating in two wars in between...
I'm such a corporate slave, and that old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi still won't let me become Hokage...
He couldn't even satisfy his own small interests; he wouldn't provide any research funding, and later, Hiruzen Sarutobi even forbade his own research experiments.
If his former employer, Konoha, could offer him such generous treatment, why would he have defected?
Can he blame himself for defecting?
However, there's something I still need to remind you of first.
"What's up?"
"My task here is time-sensitive and demanding, and we urgently need outstanding researchers, so the workload is quite heavy. I don't know if you can handle it."
Uchiha Nan glanced at Orochimaru, who had a pleased expression, and said quietly.
"Hmph... it's a piece of cake."
Orochimaru was completely oblivious to the meaning behind Uchiha Nan's words.
Will the workload be very heavy?
Hmph, how much bigger can it get?
My body, Orochimaru's body, has undergone special modifications. As long as you provide enough research resources and can meet my needs, I can work here until I die!
"Someone's here."
"Let's go, Orochimaru. Staying here will only cause unnecessary trouble."
Uchiha Nan sensed several Chakra fluctuations rapidly approaching him; it seemed the commotion he had caused had been discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi's Anbu ninja. Therefore...
Uchiha Nan then planned to take Orochimaru away from there directly, as he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble... If he killed all these people, then no one would be there to help him.
" Sasuke, stop standing there and get home. You don't want the Anbu ninjas to take you away for questioning, do you?"
Tobirama, I'm back!
"Look who this person is, doesn't he look familiar!"
Uchiha Nan brought Orochimaru, who was slightly disguised, to the Hokage's office.
Tobirama Unit-01 and Tobirama Unit-02, their original bodies have returned to the Hokage's office, while the other clones are working in the Root's underground laboratory.
What surprised Uchiha Nan was...
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not appear in the Hokage's office. It's likely that he was too timid after being scolded by Tobirama Senju and didn't dare to show his face in Tobirama Senju again.
"Is he Orochimaru?"
Tobirama No. 1 looked up and immediately recognized Orochimaru, a look of joy spreading across his face.
Although he already knew that the Orochimaru of this world was not his beloved Disciple, Tobirama Unit- Tobirama still had a very high initial level of goodwill towards the Orochimaru of this world because of his affection for him.
"That's right."
Uchiha Nan nodded.
" Tobirama, I never expected to meet you here."
Orochimaru stepped forward and greeted Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage being his idol.
A significant portion of his research findings originated from Tobirama Senju.
Moreover, it seems that Lord Tobirama knows him.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries...
Uchiha Nan then told Orochimaru a little secret. He didn't intend to hide his and Tobirama Unit 1's identities from Orochimaru, since Orochimaru in this world would be his new servant in the future.
"As you can see... I am not from this world. Tobirama Senju and I are from another world."
"And in my original world, I was the Third Hokage... You were Tobirama Senju's disciple..."
Orochimaru's expression grew increasingly excited. He didn't doubt what Uchiha Nan said, because Uchiha Nan had no reason to lie to him.
Parallel universes... interesting... absolutely fascinating!
He really made the right choice coming to Konoha this time!
"I pledge my loyalty to the Lord Hokage!"
Orochimaru admired Konoha as described by Uchiha Nan.
Powerful, rich... full of vitality, and on the contrary, it does not prohibit human experimentation, but rather strongly supports it, as long as the research project is approved by the Konoha Science and Technology Department, and its research resources are also uniformly distributed by the Konoha Science and Technology Department.
Konoha is a place he should serve.
" Tobirama, Orochimaru will be your colleague from now on."
"You must nurture him well, just like you would Orochimaru in our world. His body has been modified and can now adapt to high-intensity scientific research. Give him more challenging work and let him fully utilize his scientific talents!"
Uchiha Nan looked at Tobirama Unit 1 and said something that made Tobirama Senju's heart tremble. He had spent so many years with Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan and knew him very well.
Uchiha Nan's heart is black!
You beast!
Uchiha Nan, you born evil Uchiha brat.
You not only won't let me go in this world, but you won't even let Orochimaru of this world go.
If I'm not mistaken, Uchiha Nan plans to bring me, Izuna Uchiha, and Orochimaru from this world back to our original world, and then dump them in a dark, sunless underground laboratory to work for him every day.
However... even though Tobirama Senju had guessed Uchiha Nan's thoughts, he didn't intend to stop her, because: firstly, he couldn't actually stop Uchiha Nan anyway; secondly, it was much better for a group of people to suffer than for him to suffer alone; and finally, it was all for Miha's sake!
These are all great sacrifices!
"No problem."
For Tobirama Senju was lost in thought, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Then, he looked at Orochimaru with a slightly sympathetic gaze and slowly spoke.
Orochimaru, you have a path to heaven but choose not to, and a path to hell but choose to walk right into it.
I hope you cherish the time you have left...
You idiot... How could you thank that heartless bastard Uchiha Nan? My disciples are all so... disgraceful.
"Thank you for your guidance Lord Hokage."
Orochimaru demonstrated his loyalty.
The new boss is so nice to talk to, and the benefits are great. I really want to go to Konoha in another world right now.
