"So you are the Uchiha member from more than a year ago?"
Orochimaru lowered his gaze to Shōji's chest. A very faint look of coldness was faintly revealed from the depths of the slender snake eyes. His body subconsciously tensed up, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
"Hmph, you don't need to be so nervous at all. Orochimaru, haven't I already said that who I am is not important. What is important is what my arrival means to you? Isn't it?"
Shōji doesn't care at all about Orochimaru's preparation posture, not to mention the current Orochimaru, even Orochimaru who has grown to the limit in Original Work, even though it is difficult for him to kill this old snake skin, it is easy to suppress him, in front of these eyes.
Orochimaru is a person whose advantages and disadvantages are too obvious.
It's simply not easy to deal with.
Of course, even so, Shōji is still prepared for the worst. Anyway, in Shōji's plan, all actions must give priority to ensuring his own safety and identity. Only by ensuring this, can he take the next step.
Any carelessness and laxity will cost you your life.
"What does it mean to me? It seems that you infiltrated Konoha again for me? I thought you were going to attack Konoha and Nine-Tails again."
Orochimaru still had a look of indifference on his face.
"Of course I'm here for you, Orochimaru. Your current situation in Konoha shouldn't be very good, right? I'm here just to make a mutually beneficial deal with you. Believe me, this should be a very good choice for you!"
Shōji smiled lightly, and the ultimate scarlet color reflected in his pupils seemed so rich and cold at this moment.
"Deal? Huh?"
Orochimaru sneered disdainfully as if he heard a joke.
Then there was the look of indifference.
It has undoubtedly shown the attitude of Konoha Sannin.
Shōji was not in a hurry at all, and said calmly, "If I am not wrong, you should have been in Konoha for a long time. Not to mention that Third Hokage's direct subordinate Anbu will catch you soon. You should also be planning to leave Konoha soon. Although you have probably reserved one or two hiding places for yourself abroad, security and reliability may not be the best, right?"
"And I can provide you with an excellent hiding place. Join Akatsuki and join our organization. Of course, this is a two-way street. You can ask the organization for what you want, and the organization also needs you to complete certain mission indicators. In addition, what you pursue can also be verified in our organization. For example, the leader of our organization has the same eyes as the legendary Sage of Six Paths - Rinnegan. Aren't you interested in these? Orochimaru?"
Seductive words, gentle and rhythmic tone.
At that moment, Orochimaru's previous indifference was obviously touched by Shōji's words, especially when he heard the three words 'Rinnegan', the visible expression of Orochimaru changed slightly, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
Orochimaru's body exuded a very dangerous aura at this moment.
However, Shōji still stood calmly and calmly, looking at Orochimaru in front of him attentively, waiting for one of Konoha Sannin to make his own choice.
"What do I have to give?"
It seemed like a second.
It seems like eternity.
After this silent and cold atmosphere lasted for a while.
The hoarse words fell slowly again.
Under the mask, the corners of Shōji's mouth also curved into a beautiful arc.
Many times, trading is not afraid of how difficult it is, let alone the lion opening his mouth. The most fearful thing is to be indifferent. As long as he opens his mouth, it proves that the opponent is interested. Intentional and unintentional are two concepts. The former has a certain success rate at worst, while the latter means that no matter what you do, you will never succeed.
For the current Orochimaru.
What's most important?
Undoubtedly, 'eternal life' is the most important thing.
So does Sage of Six Paths, which only exists in legend, attract Attraction Force to Orochimaru? The answer is yes, Sage of Six Paths is the person Orochimaru thinks is closest to eternal life, and he is not even sure whether Sage of Six Paths is really dead.
At the very least, Orochimaru, as a 'crazy scientific researcher', is skeptical about everything. He will not believe those so-called facts until he has seen them with his own eyes and verified them through experiments. He only believes in his own eyes!
Shōji's words are very attractive to Orochimaru. Attraction Force.
After he defected, he definitely needed to find a place to stay. Although he had no intention of working for anyone, there was still no problem as a transit point. The premise was that the effort and benefits must be proportional, and the risk assessment must be within his own acceptable range.
Original Work did not mention when Orochimaru joined Xiao, nor did it clearly explain how Obito deceived him, but Shōji still had sufficient confidence in his persuasion and conditions.
"Haha, it's very simple. There are only two conditions. One is that you have First Hokage Wood Release cells and part of its active research data. The second is to follow the organization's orders and perform some tasks. Of course, you have the right to refuse the latter depending on the situation, as long as it does not violate the organization's basic obligations!"
"Wood Release cells of First Hokage?"
The latter condition was completely ignored by Orochimaru.
The most important thing to focus on is the former.
It can be said that when Shōji finished speaking.
"Haha!"
Orochimaru showed a strange smile on his face.
When his hoarse laughter fell.
It was not his intention, Shōji subconsciously tightened his body, and the scarlet color revealed by Mangekyō Sharingan, who was exposed alone, became extremely rich.
"Okay! I promise you! This is Wood Release cells of First Hokage and some active research information!"
in the next second.
Orochimaru changed the topic and took out two scrolls from his arms and shot them towards Shōji's position.
Shōji's eyes narrowed.
Take advantage of Mangekyō Sharingan's insights.
Make sure there are no problems with both scrolls as much as possible.
"Crack!"
A scroll caught with a backhand.
"Very good, then the deal is established! Here are part of the organization's information, as well as clothing, and your code name!"
Shōji threw the prepared scroll with part of Akatsuki's information, Akatsuki Red Cloud Robe, and a ring engraved with the word "empty" to Orochimaru in front of him.
Orochimaru caught the ball with his backhand.
"Finally, I would like to advise you, if possible, complete your plan as soon as possible and leave Konoha. Don't underestimate your teacher. After all, he was the former Shinobi Hero!"
Shōji said calmly before turning around and leaving.
