Orochimaru didn't really believe what Naraku had said about the Sharingan and its abilities. He had never heard of the Sharingan having such powers; it was simply too unbelievable.
Orochimaru thought Uchiha Nara must have had some unknown spies or intelligence network that had infiltrated Root. That seemed much more likely.
First Hokage Cells were contraband, but Orochimaru had plenty of them. He wanted to see what Nara was up to.
Orochimaru didn't hesitate any longer. He unrolled the scroll and pressed his hand against it, summoning two long, slender glass tubes, each about thirty centimeters long.

Two snakes slithered out of Orochimaru's sleeve. Holding a glass tube apiece, they stretched toward Naraku's desk.
Naraku remained calm, but secretly stayed on guard.

"Heh, that's what I'd like to know too. Naraku, you should tell me
