In the Underground Base beneath Otogakure, there was a pristine white research room filled with scientific experiment dishes.

Orochimaru had changed out of the Akatsuki's red-cloud robes and replaced them with a long, white lab coat.
He looked composed and mild, stripped of his former ferocity and sinister chill, leaving only a scholar's indifference.
