"Every piece of technology you can see in Konoha was made by Amado. He's also my younger brother."
Well, that was a lot to take in. Orochimaru was speechless for a moment.
The scruffy, middle-aged man with the messy hair they'd just met was the inventor behind all of Konoha's technology?
That was a little hard to believe.
Minato Namikaze was just as surprised. He'd thought Amado was an ordinary shinobi. After all, the man looked so disheveled and unremarkable.
Reality had certainly proved him wrong.
"Nice to meet you. I know who you are, but this is our first time meeting in person. I'm Sanzuchuan Amado. If you ever want to discuss scientific research, feel free to come talk to me."
Since Torifu established the Technology Department a few years ago, Amado had gradually started referring to his inventions as scientific research.

Konoha had also seen many shinobi with a talent for scientific research emerge.
As a result, the Technology Department had grown considerably, and Amado was no longer a department of one.
"Hello, Lord Amado! I'm Minato Namikaze. I look forward to working with you."

Amado nodded. It seemed the Orochimaru from the Otherworld was just as fond of science.
"Of course. We can talk this afternoon."

Even so, Orochimaru still found it hard to reconcile the man who had created all of Konoha's technology with the somewhat scruffy fellow standing before him.
The contrast was simply too great.
