Chapter 208 Sasuke, I Really Want You

The country of fields.

In a cold, dark cave, Orochimaru's base was located.

Snakes prefer shady places, and Orochimaru is no exception.

The main reason for choosing such a remote location is: remoteness = chaos = doing whatever one wants.

Orochimaru's experiments required a lot of 'materials', and in such remote places, if one or two people were to be lost, no one would care, much less dare to.

Moreover, Orochimaru's various experiments were heavily criticized by the 'righteous' faction in the ninja world, which is why he chose such a remote place to establish his base.

At this time, Orochimaru was in the base.

He lay nestled in the soft sofa, his brow furrowed, deep in thought about an ultimate question.

Among his subordinates, who was the traitor?
Orochimaru had been investigating this problem since he was in Konoha's prison, when he was working on his enlightenment.

Why did this thought suddenly come to mind?
Everything stemmed from the failure of the [Konoha Crush Plan]!
Since escaping, Orochimaru has been pondering why the [Konoha Crush Plan] failed.

The sudden appearance and rise of Naruto Uzumaki is undoubtedly the main reason!

Orochimaru was shocked at the time.

Where did this kid come from? How is he so strong?
Even the gift he had carefully prepared for the Third Hokage was defeated?

Although he wasn't there in person, the battle between Naruto Uzumaki and the First and Second Hokage was incredibly intense, and even from that distance, Orochimaru could feel the terror.

Before starting the plan, Orochimaru personally tested the strength of the First and Second Hokage.

I thought that the First and Second Hokage were invincible and the [Konoha Crush Plan] was safe, but who is this kid Uzumaki Naruto who suddenly appeared?
Orochimaru didn't know.

Therefore, this was the main reason for the failure—an accident.

If this is the primary reason, then the secondary reason for the failure is the loss of control by the first and second generations!

Yes.

During the battle, Orochimaru noticed something unusual: the reanimated First and Second Hokage were beyond his control!
Orochimaru was immediately terrified!
Everything was tested and working perfectly, so why did it suddenly become uncontrollable?
Orochimaru thought about this problem for a long time!
Finally, he came to the conclusion that the first and second generations had been sabotaged.

If nothing was sabotaged, Orochimaru knew that even if he couldn't defeat Konoha or Naruto, he could escape with him without any problem.

The second generation's Flying Thunder God technique was a precaution he took, leaving himself a way out even when he had a 100% success rate.

As expected, the plan went awry!
This escape route was originally intended to be used, but when Orochimaru was preparing to flee, he discovered that the Second Hokage was no longer under his control.

In the past few days, Orochimaru has been recalling his research on the Impure World Reincarnation. He personally carried out the entire process without any flaws.

He racked his brains but couldn't figure out where the loophole was.

However, as it turns out, there must have been a loophole.

A traitor has emerged from the 'snake den'!
This traitor is right beside him, making him extremely uneasy!
So, after parting ways with Obito Uchiha, Orochimaru returned to his base and launched a 'Great Purge,' beginning a thorough investigation of everyone around him!

As a result, Orochimaru searched the entire base, looking for Kimimaro, Jugo, and other experimental subjects, but still couldn't find the traitor.

Even Kabuto, whom he had always trusted the most, was investigated by him, but he only suspected him and did not find any evidence!

"If it's not Kabuto, then who is it?"

Orochimaru was completely baffled; this question had become an unsolved mystery.

Finally, Orochimaru turned his attention to the two 'experimental subjects'.

He remembered that the two test subjects were two Jonin who suddenly appeared nearby, and they were very strong Jonin. It took him some effort and time to finally subdue them.

Judging from his conversation with the two men before their deaths, they came here out of a sense of justice after hearing that people had gone missing.

This became the material for his resurrection of the First and Second Hokage through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

After thinking it over, Orochimaru fell silent for a while longer.

Although their origins were strange, there was still nothing wrong with them.

Orochimaru was starting to have an existential crisis! He wanted to continue his search, but because of the purge, many of his men had died, so Orochimaru had to stop for the time being.

Although he had to find the traitor, he couldn't stop pursuing his "ideals".

So, in the end, he could only think alone in this dark room.

Squeak~~~
The door was opened, and the dark room instantly became much brighter. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the person who had entered was bald, reflecting the light in.

"Black Mamba?"

Orochimaru's slightly hoarse voice rang out, and he frowned as he looked at his 'partner' who was monitoring him.

"You can also call me 'Lao Da'."

Black Mamba replied in a muffled voice. He glanced around to make sure Orochimaru was still there, then turned and left!

bang~
The door was closed, and the room was plunged into darkness again.

This is not the first time this has happened.

This has happened many times since the arrival of this 'Black Mamba'. The Black Mamba's purpose is to come and take a look, to make sure he sees Orochimaru's presence, so as to achieve the purpose of surveillance.

This behavior is both bizarre and mechanical.

Orochimaru was already familiar with his strange behavior, but that did not stop him from wanting to kill him.

However, he couldn't afford to offend the people behind him.

Thinking of that masked guy, Orochimaru smiled darkly, "Obito Uchiha."

In the past few days, Orochimaru only learned about 'Uchiha Obito's' recent "great achievements" through news and newspapers.

He single-handedly fought against the Hidden Cloud Village, defeated the Fourth Raikage A, and kidnapped the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, among other things.

Orochimaru knew from his past impressive achievements that he was probably no match for Obito Uchiha.

Not to mention he's from the Uchiha clan, and he has that troublesome Mangekyou Sharingan.

The thought of those eyes triggered Orochimaru's PTSD again!
I wish I could have eyes like those.

Orochimaru did have one goal in mind—Uchiha Sasuke!

can.

Thinking of that blond-haired guy in Konoha, Orochimaru knew that no matter how much he longed for him, he would have to give up the idea as long as that person existed.

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

A hoarse, low voice rang out: If he could, Orochimaru would prefer Naruto's body.

pity.

He lowered his head and began to examine himself.

This body is excellent, just as Obito Uchiha said, it will never die, and even the most severe wounds can heal naturally.

However, while such a physique is not bad, it is far from the upper limit of the Uchiha clan!
Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips.

Sasuke, I miss you so much!

rustling~~
A small snake crawled out from the corner, came to my feet, and opened its mouth to spit out a newspaper.

Since his release from prison, Orochimaru has also developed the good habit of reading newspapers.

He casually picked up the newspaper, and just one glance made his eyes widen involuntarily.

The joy and boundless greed in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Finally, there is hope of achieving our goal!
