Hearing someone, Orochimaru brightened. He tried to find the source of the voice but saw only darkness.
"My name is Orochimaru. Do you know what this place is? How do I get out?"
"These are the Uchiha Clan Sealing Grounds. There's no way out! Can you tell me about the outside world? Has the Uchiha Clan been wiped out by the Senju Clan?"
"Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju built Konoha together. The Uchiha are still alive and well."
"Madara Uchiha? Who's that?"
"The Uchiha Clan leader, the Asura of the Ninja World. You don't know him?"
"No! Perhaps he's one of the younger generations!"
Orochimaru's eyes widened. What do you mean, younger generations? That's Madara Uchiha! If even he counts as a junior, how long has this person lived?
"Why aren't you talking? Do you not want to talk to me?"
"No! I was just wondering how long you've lived."
"I don't know! There's no time here. Maybe a hundred years, or maybe five hundred..."
"You're an Uchiha? Why were you sealed away too?"
"They were afraid of me! So they joined forces with the other Shinobi Clans to seal me away. Will you be afraid of me?"
"Afraid?"
Orochimaru froze. The proud Uchiha Clan could be afraid of someone? They had even joined forces with other clans to seal away one of their own. Not even Madara Uchiha had received that treatment!
"Ah! If I could get out, I'd definitely take you with me."
"If you had Boruto's Jōgan, you could get out."
"..."
Orochimaru fell silent. His greed for the Tenseigan and Jōgan had landed him in this situation. If he had known, he would never have gotten greedy.
We have both the Byakugan and the Uzumaki bloodline. Hopefully, Kabuto can develop the Jōgan someday and find me!
