Chapter 113 You have his chakra within you~
The Land of Fields, a secret experimental base.

"You said that Scorpion asked you about my whereabouts a couple of days ago?"

The man with purple eyeshadow stopped dissecting the corpse and turned his neck 180 degrees to look behind him.

As he spoke, he licked his lips with his long, snake-like tongue.

Standing behind him was a boy wearing round-framed glasses.

In response to the man's question, the boy replied respectfully, "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

"However, Lord Scorpion did not inquire about your whereabouts, but rather revealed my identity."

"He already knows that you have lifted his spell."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity on his face: "Interesting."

“Tell him the location of the other base, and let me see what he’s planning to do.”

In his current state, he is not suited to confront that puppeteer. He should wait until he obtains the body of the Uchiha clan before making a move.

However, before that, he could secretly observe what the other party wanted to do.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh.

the other side.

Looking at Scorpion who had suddenly approached him, Li Ang asked with some curiosity, "What? Changed your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Sasori said in a cold voice, "Orochimaru has agreed to my invitation to meet. You will come with me."

After receiving the news that day, he tested the waters.

Just as Li Ang said, the spy he planted next to Orochimaru had already been turned against him.

Without this information, if he had approached Orochimaru based on the information from that undercover agent, who knows what might have happened.

“That toad isn’t so docile,” Li Ang shrugged. “Are you sure we’ll really see him?”

"Let's talk after we get there."

Scorpion turned and walked away.

Seeing this, Li Ang quickly followed.

Orochimaru's abilities are troublesome. If a real fight broke out, very few members of the Akatsuki would dare to say they were guaranteed to win. And even if they did win, you wouldn't know whether he was actually dead or alive.

This is why Sasori, despite having a grudge against Orochimaru, has hesitated to take action.

For Li Ang, it's not necessarily about facing Orochimaru; the specifics will depend on what happens after he meets one of the Sannin.

Soon, the two arrived in the Land of Rice Fields from the Land of Rain, and met a ninja wearing a headband from the Sound Village at the agreed location.

Just as Li Ang had predicted, Orochimaru did not show up immediately.

Upon seeing the two people dressed in black robes with red cloud patterns, the ninja respectfully said, "Lord Sasori, please follow me."

However, in response to his greeting, Sasori simply asked coldly, "Where is Orochimaru?"

Upon hearing this, the ninja slightly turned his body, gesturing for the two to follow: "Lord Orochimaru is waiting for you at the base."

Throughout the entire process, he never inquired about Li Ang's identity.

Li Ang and Sasori followed the Sound Village ninja into a secret underground base.

However, judging from the thick layer of dust on the ground, this secret base had clearly not been used for a long time.

Orochimaru ignored the ninja standing to the side and, controlling Hiruko, looked at the electronic monitoring equipment in the corner that was flashing red light. "You are still the same as before, without any change."

As soon as Scorpion finished speaking, a hoarse voice rang out from the secret base: "Scorpion-kun, it's been a long time."

It was Orochimaru; his voice came through the loudspeakers inside the base.

Electronic devices do exist in the Naruto world, but because ninjutsu is so versatile, their presence is not strong.

Just as Sasori was about to say something in response, Li Ang suddenly spoke up: "Orochimaru, are you satisfied with just the Sharingan?"

Upon hearing this, the underground base immediately fell silent.

Having failed to meet Orochimaru, Sasori had no idea what his partner was planning, so he chose to wait and see.

A moment later, a hoarse laugh echoed from within the underground base: "Hahaha, you must be Scorpion's current partner?"

Orochimaru tried to take control of the conversation, but Leon wouldn't give him that chance.

“My identity is not important. Uchiha Sasuke is with you now, right? If you really intend to use him as a target for the Reanimation Jutsu, you'd better give up that idea as soon as possible.”

Scientists like Orochimaru, who are riddle-solving types, will only find themselves in a passive position if they keep dragging their feet.

Therefore, Li Ang is preparing to release some explosive revelations.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Orochimaru replied in an emotionless voice, "Itachi sent you?"

It's not surprising that he had this guess. After all, although he didn't know the details of the night the Uchiha clan was massacred, he could still make some inferences based on what happened afterward.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Li Ang suddenly laughed: "Orochimaru, it seems that arrogance has blinded you, and you didn't even notice the special features on Uchiha Sasuke."

"His chakra is poisonous."

What do you mean?
Orochimaru, who was hiding in another base, frowned slightly.

After teaching Sasuke Uchiha for so many years, he didn't find anything special about him, and even his talent was far inferior to Itachi's.

However, the Akatsuki member who was with Sasori at the moment, whom he had never met before, said that there was something special about him.

Could it be that I have really missed some crucial information?
Moreover, chakra is poisonous.
This was the first time Orochimaru had heard such a statement.

Just kidding, how could chakra be poisonous?
Before he could think it through, the person on the monitor continued, "Let's go, Scorpion." "Since the master doesn't want to see us, let's not waste our time."

After speaking, the two figures, one tall and one short, walked out of the underground base.

Orochimaru did not speak again until Li Ang and Sasori left the underground base.

However, Li Ang has already cast his bait; it remains to be seen whether the other party will take the bait.

If he takes the bait, he has a lot of information he can use to exchange with the other party.

Unlike Sasori, who only cared about puppets, Li Ang believed that Orochimaru would be interested in the Otsutsuki clan.

But if they don't take the bait
Then Li Ang will have to make another trip to the Sound Village.

……

After leaving the underground base, Scorpion fell silent.

Li Ang knew, of course, that Orochimaru was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do if Orochimaru refused to show himself.

However, before the two had gone far, a figure caught up with them from behind.

He was a boy with silver hair tied in a single ponytail and wearing black-rimmed round glasses.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Li Ang immediately recognized his identity.

Yakushi Kabuto.

He is definitely one of the most inspiring characters in the original work.

I have shed my snake skin and transformed into a dragon!
Although in Li Ang's view, the other party was still far from being a true dragon.

After catching up with the two, the young man, with a gentle smile on his face, said, "Please wait, sir. Lord Orochimaru wishes to meet you."

The boy only mentioned Li Ang, not Scorpion, clearly indicating that Orochimaru did not intend to see him.

"dragon"

Just as Scorpion was about to say something, Li Ang interrupted him with a gesture: "I'm going to see him. I haven't forgotten our deal."

Scorpion knew that if he insisted on going with them, the traitor on the other side would definitely not take the two of them with him.

Therefore, after receiving the promise, he chose to remain silent, since he had no better option at the moment.

Seeing this, Li Ang gestured for Dou to lead the way.

Without any hesitation, the boy turned around and led him towards Orochimaru's location, though they took many detours along the way, clearly worried about being followed.

After quite some time, Li Ang finally managed to enter Orochimaru's true secret base.

Then, led by Dou, he entered a laboratory.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Li Ang was drawn to the neatly arranged bottles and jars on the wall, most of which contained human body parts that were soaking in the solution.

As he was examining the materials, a hoarse voice rang out: "Welcome, may I ask how you are addressed?"

"Just call me Dragon."

Li Ang replied casually.

Then he looked at Orochimaru, who had an eerie and otherworldly aura.

In Li Ang's perception, this famous Sannin was not in good condition at the moment.

He said in a deliberately malicious tone, "This body you seized using the Reincarnation technique probably won't last much longer, will it?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll take action now?"

Reanimation Jutsu is a secret technique created by Orochimaru that allows one's spirit to be transferred into another's body, achieving a different kind of immortality, but the side effects are also significant.

Judging from the timeline, the opposing Sannin probably wouldn't last much longer, which is why they were in a hurry to switch bodies with Uchiha Sasuke.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly. He hadn't expected the person in front of him to know him so well.

Danzo's people?

After a moment, he let out a sinister laugh: "The Dragon Lord has truly exceeded my expectations."

He was certainly afraid that Li Ang would take action, but more than fear, he was curious about the meaning behind Li Ang's words.

However, it's not that killing his physical body will make him completely dead.
Naive.

"I don't understand what you meant by saying that Sasuke Uchiha's chakra is poisonous?"

Orochimaru chose to temporarily suppress his doubts about Li Ang's identity and inquired about more important matters.

Just as the person in front of him said, his body couldn't hold on much longer, which was why he was so worried about Uchiha Sasuke.

Because the other party was the next body he had chosen.

In response to Orochimaru's question, Li Ang slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "I can tell you the truth about the world."

"Including where chakra comes from, how to transcend this world, and how to obtain immortal life."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's first reaction was whether the Akatsuki members in front of him had something wrong with their brains.

But after a moment of silence, he finally asked, "What's the price?"

"I want everything, whether it's ninjutsu, experimental data, or materials."

Hooked.

Li Ang thought so.
