"Heh. Looks like you've got quite a grudge against the Third Hokage, Chiya." Orochimaru gave a dry laugh, breaking the silence.
"Of course I do. If that old bastard hadn't broken his promise and teamed up with that old dog Danzo to kill me, I wouldn't have defected. Who enjoys living on edge? Wouldn't it be nice to be a Konoha jōnin, taking missions, earning commissions, and living a peaceful life?"
Chiya sighed helplessly, spreading his hands and putting on an innocent expression.
The corners of Orochimaru and the others' mouths twitched.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he hadn't wiped out an entire family, but that they had wiped out his.
"Looks like the Konoha-born shinobi are getting along well," a commanding, imposing voice suddenly rang out through the tower.

A young woman followed behind him.
Light blue-violet hair, a stunning and coolly beautiful face, and a lovely figure!
She was a few years older than Yuhi Kurenai.
In terms of beauty, she was every bit Kurenai's equal.
Even Chiya, usually so composed, couldn't help but stare for a moment. He sighed inwardly. The Naruto world really was full of beautiful women.
Too bad so few of them got happy endings.
(ps: Sakura-Bitch doesn't count. In Green Pepper's eyes, she isn't beautiful.)
But now that Chiya was here,
he'd make sure all the lovely ladies got their happy endings.
"Leader." Orochimaru gave a perfunctory greeting. Tobi, who had been disguised as A-Fly, had already slipped away at some point.
Pain didn't seem to care about Orochimaru's attitude. He waved a hand, and Orochimaru tactfully left.
As far as Pain was concerned, as long as Orochimaru didn't cause trouble and completed his assigned missions,
