As he watched Qian's figure sink into the ground and vanish, Orochimaru fell into thought.
Just as Qian had expected, based on his demands, Orochimaru had indeed made some guesses about his goal.
But it was precisely because of those guesses that Orochimaru was so astonished.
Because as far as he knew, Natural Energy had never been easy to control, and Sage Mode was not so simple to learn.
