Chapter 705: Searching for Sasuke Uchiha
"So this is the Hidden Sound Village?"
Minato Namikaze looked at this place, which seemed even more advanced than Konoha. The Sound ninja here were all equipped with incredibly peculiar scientific ninja tools. It looked as though these tools possessed considerable power.
"Lord Orochimaru is inside. You may enter," a Sound ninja said, leading Minato and Boruto to the entrance of Orochimaru's residence before departing.
Then, the door in front of them opened automatically.
Watching the automatic door, Minato was quite surprised. The shinobi world of the future had indeed progressed so much compared to his time.
After the two entered, a red light scanned over their bodies for a moment.
"Identity confirmed!" a voice announced. "Son of the Sixth Hokage of Konoha! Please enter!"
With that, an entrance suddenly appeared on what was once a solid wall, revealing a passageway. The two didn't hesitate and went straight in. After walking for a long time, they should have reached deep underground. The subterranean passage built here was incredibly spacious. One could only imagine the amount of manpower and resources that had been spent on it.
"Boruto Uzumaki!"
"And... the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"
"What a peculiar combination," Orochimaru's voice echoed as the two saw the figure standing at the end of the path.
"Orochimaru?" Minato was somewhat surprised, as Orochimaru looked exactly the same as he remembered. But after a moment's thought, it wasn't so strange. That man researched forbidden jutsu for the sole purpose of pursuing immortality, and it now seemed he had succeeded.
"What have you two come to find me for?"
"At a time like this, with Konoha being attacked by four nations, shouldn't you be helping with the war effort?"
Faced with Orochimaru's question, Minato Namikaze was just about to explain when Boruto spoke up directly, "Mitsuki said you are a good person!"
"Mitsuki!"
Hearing Mitsuki's name, Orochimaru's expression remained calm. But the calmer he appeared, the more it meant he cared. After all, he regarded Mitsuki as his own child.
"Speak! What did you come to find me for? I'm very busy and don't have much time to entertain you!"
Right now, Orochimaru had too many things to research. First was the blood of Jugo and Kimimaro, who had become Ōtsutsuki. Next were the blood samples left by Sasuke. These were things that were enough to drive Orochimaru completely mad with curiosity.
"We want to know where Master Sasuke is!"
Sasuke? So they had come here looking for Sasuke?
"Apologies, but I do not know where Sasuke Uchiha is." Saying this, Orochimaru looked at the two of them. "However, with such a major event happening in the shinobi world, if Sasuke wants to do something, he will definitely intervene!"
"So, instead of looking for Sasuke Uchiha, you might as well go back and wait. He will naturally appear when it's time for him to appear!"
"No!" Boruto directly refuted Orochimaru's statement. "Only by finding Master Sasuke now can Konoha avoid an even greater crisis!"
"Konoha needs a ninja to hold down the fort, to ensure the village's safety!"
"Only when Konoha is safe can the war proceed more smoothly, and the war can end sooner!"
"And now my father has been taken away by some unknown ninja. Only Master Sasuke can figure out a way to save my father."
Watching Boruto speak, he looked just like his father, Naruto. Orochimaru felt a bit emotional. The person who once stood before him saying such things had now become the Hokage of Konoha, an intimidating presence that shook the entire shinobi world. Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a wave of sentimentality.
"Orochimaru, can't even you contact Sasuke?"
Of course, there was a way to contact Sasuke. He could send out a communication snake to deliver a message to him. However, whether Sasuke was willing to reply or not was another matter entirely.
"Of course I can, but I can't be sure if Sasuke will reply to my message," Orochimaru said.
"Can't we just find Sasuke directly?" Minato was more hopeful of meeting Sasuke in person.
Boruto, on the other hand, sighed. Although he hadn't had much contact with Sasuke, he knew very well that his Master Sasuke was a person who did things his own way. Who could force him to do something he didn't want to do?
However, just being able to contact him was already great. As long as they could find a way to reach out to him and make an effort, whether it succeeded was not something he could control.
Just as Boruto was about to ask Orochimaru to help send a message to Sasuke, Orochimaru's tone suddenly shifted.
"Seeing Sasuke-kun, while a bit troublesome, is not impossible!"
Huh?! Could Orochimaru really find Sasuke?
"Then take us there quickly! I will speak with Sasuke-kun myself!" Minato was very excited.
But Orochimaru didn't seem to be in a hurry, nor did he seem the least bit worried even after learning that Naruto Uzumaki had been captured.
"Don't be hasty. I still need to prepare," Orochimaru said, turning back to his laboratory and instructing the two, "Wait here for me."
They didn't know what Orochimaru was going to do, but for now, they could only wait. After a short while, Orochimaru emerged, having changed his clothes.
So, Orochimaru had just gone to change his clothes? Boruto was a bit angry. What time was it to be thinking about changing clothes? His father's life was on the line!
"Let's go."
Fortunately, Orochimaru's next words calmed Boruto down again.
Go?
"Where are we going?" Boruto asked as Orochimaru had already begun forming hand seals.
He then slapped one hand on the ground, turned to look at Boruto, and smiled.
"To one of the three great sage regions, Ryūchi Cave!"
Poof!
With a puff of white smoke, the three of them vanished on the spot.
Inside Ryūchi Cave, Minato Namikaze looked at the suddenly changed environment. "Is Sasuke here?"
"No!"
"Sasuke shouldn't be here, but only here can you meet him."
As Orochimaru said this, Minato Namikaze already understood.
"A Reverse Summoning? You intend to have the great snakes of Ryūchi Cave summon Sasuke?"
Hearing this, Orochimaru nodded. "Correct. This is the only way for you to see Sasuke. However, the only snake capable of performing a Reverse Summoning of this magnitude is likely the White Snake Sage."
"Whether she will agree to your request, I do not know!"
Given Sasuke's power, the only one who could likely meet the standard for a Reverse Summoning was the White Snake Sage. And even for her, attempting to Reverse Summon the current Sasuke would be anything but simple. Therefore, Orochimaru wasn't sure if she would be willing to help. He had brought Boruto and Minato here; whether they succeeded or not was up to them.
Led by Orochimaru, they encountered no trouble and met the White Snake Sage directly.
"Orochimaru, I didn't expect you would dare to come back here!"
"You haven't completed a single one of the things you promised us, and you even got Manda killed!"
The moment they met, she began to interrogate him. Orochimaru looked at the White Snake Sage with a blank expression, while Boruto and Minato behind him felt that this matter was probably going to be difficult.
"Didn't I send you Sasuke Uchiha afterward?" Orochimaru retorted, looking at the dense Sage Jutsu chakra fluctuating around the White Snake Sage. "It seems Sasuke-kun has brought you quite a few benefits as well! Isn't that enough?"

📢 An Important Announcement Regarding the Translation and New Directions! 📢
Hello, dear readers and fellow ninja journey companions! ❤️
Firstly, I want to sincerely apologize for my disappearance in the last few days and for the absence of new chapters of our beloved fanfic. I know you eagerly await each update, and I'm very sorry for this unexpected pause.
I have an important announcement about the future of our translation of "Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents." To maintain the quality and consistency you deserve, I had to make a difficult decision: from now on, we will be posting one chapter per day.
"But why?" you must be wondering. The truth is, the process of bringing this story to you has been more complex than I imagined. The website where I find the original Chinese version inserts several slashes (□) in the middle of the words. This makes the image-to-text conversion process enormously difficult. Each chapter requires a meticulous review to ensure no words are lost and, most laboriously, for every word containing these slashes, I need to manually rewrite the Chinese passage to ensure the translation is accurate. 😫
As you can imagine, this consumes a gigantic amount of time, and to avoid compromising the quality of what I deliver to you, I had to slow down the pace.
✨ But here comes the good news and a special invitation! ✨
If you love "Sasuke Uchiha Perfect Talents" as much as I do and would like to see more chapters posted daily, I invite you to consider supporting me on Patreon! With your support, I can dedicate more time and resources to speed up this process.
Check out our goals:
🎯 With 20 paying members, we'll go back to posting 2 chapters per day!
🌟 With 30 paying members, we'll increase to 3 chapters per day!
🚀 With 40 paying members, we'll have 4 chapters per day!
🔥 And with 50 paying members, we'll reach the incredible milestone of 5 chapters per day!
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference and helps me continue bringing this and other stories to you.

I sincerely thank you for your understanding, patience, and all the affection you show. I will continue to do my best to bring you the best possible content!
A big hug and see you in the next chapter! Leanzin
