Ransom

Several nearby Konoha ninja exchanged glances.

They knew Orochimaru enjoyed researching Forbidden Techniques.

But they had not expected Orochimaru to so directly put everything he possessed on the bargaining table.

A Konoha Jonin could not help drawing in a breath.

"This is no longer an ordinary collaboration."

"He is actively joining Fang Xu's faction."

Another person looked at Fang Xu, the shock in his heart growing even stronger.

Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninja, was actually willing to serve him in exchange for those technologies.

Yet everyone else shared
