"These guys have become a lot noisier since you saved them last time."
He reached out to turn the doorknob and pushed the door in. Sure enough, a large group of guys were arguing over some food.
"Sasuke, Kimimaro, you're back."
Everyone immediately put down the food in their hands and rushed over like lightning to observe the changes in these two after learning Sage Art.
Kidōmaru propped his chin with one hand and circled around the two, wondering if he could notice any difference from before.
"Kidōmaru, Sage Chakra can only be detected when using Sage Art."
Kimimaro saw Kidōmaru's confusion and patiently explained. He didn't want to be treated like an exhibit and be stared at back and forth.
"So that's how it is. Will the appearance change when using Sage Art be the same as when using the Cursed Seal?"
"Well, the White Snake Sage in the Ryūchi Cave said that the better one masters Natural Energy, the easier it is to control the Sage form. I'm a bit worse than Sasuke - sama in this regard. When I'm in Sage Mode, horns will grow on my head."
"Eh! Really? Show us quickly!"
A large crowd immediately rushed up and surrounded the two tightly. Looking at the eager eyes, Sasuke was too embarrassed to drive them away immediately. He could only frown and look at Orochimaru, his expression as if complaining to Orochimaru.
Why don't you rein in these childish guys quickly!
Their eyes met, and Orochimaru understood. He pulled a long face.
"Alright, disperse. Sasuke and Kimimaro just came back. They need to rest. There will be plenty of opportunities to watch in the future."
"Eh? Lord Orochimaru, we're just curious. Can't they show us a little?"
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows when he saw his formerly loyal subordinates starting to rebel. His tongue stuck out long.
"Be obedient quickly. I won't say it a second time!"
Seeing their boss getting angry, the crowd finally dispersed reluctantly.
"Orochimaru, come to my room with me. I have something to tell you privately."
Listening to Sasuke's almost commanding words, Orochimaru wasn't angry. Instead, he patiently followed behind him and entered the room under the curious gazes of everyone.
............
"Rare indeed, Sasuke. You actually invited me alone to talk. What important thing has happened?"
"Manpower. You should have many other experimental bases besides this one. I want to select some people from the other bases to come here."
"Oh, aren't these Sound Ninjas enough? They are all the elites I've selected. You just need to tell them what to do."
Sasuke's expression was calm and cold. He completely ignored Orochimaru's words and said to himself.
"Suigetsu, Karin, and Jūgo. I want these three to come and help me too."
Orochimaru's face changed and he frowned. How did he know this information? He had always strictly managed the experimental bases and never mentioned them to Sasuke before. Moreover, Sasuke even knew the specific names of the people in the bases.
Although Jūgo told Sasuke himself, Karin and Suigetsu had just arrived not long ago, and their information hadn't even been registered yet. But Sasuke already knew. This is really incredible.
Could it be that during his time at the Ryūchi Cave, he was cultivating while gathering information? In that case, there must be a large intelligence network behind Sasuke.
"What's up? You're frowning. Is it that hard for me to ask you for some guys?"
Coupled with this condescending tone and manner, Orochimaru was almost certain that this kid must be hiding something.
Thinking about how he had carefully laid out a plan to lure himself into the trap from the very beginning, and his own obsession with the Sharingan. He knew it was a trap, but he still rushed in blindly.
Later, Sasuke revealed one earth - shattering secret after another in the ninja world, the feud between Indra and Asura, as well as the great potential contained in Sage Art and Hashirama's cells.
Sasuke was luring him step by step, as if standing on a high place, knowing every move he made, how much ability he had and what he could do, and how to arouse his greatest interest.
Danger!
Orochimaru couldn't help but think that even when their transaction is all over, would Sasuke really obediently hand over his body to him?
But even so, Orochimaru's mouth still curled into an excited smile. His long tongue licked his dry lips, and his gaze towards Sasuke became more and more intense.
It's really interesting. This sense of danger that stimulates every pore makes him can't help but get excited.
"Okay, but I also have a condition. These kids came to join me. I can't just give them away like gifts. As long as you have the ability to subdue them, I won't interfere."
"Don't worry about this. I have the ability."
"When do you plan to set off?"
"In a couple of days..."
"Bam!"
There was a violent noise. The entire door on the wall was forced open from the outside, and a large group of people suddenly poured into the small room.
........
"Jirōbō, get off me quickly. You're crushing me to death!"
Tayuya, who was at the bottom of the pile of people, shrieked and cursed.
This damned fat guy was pressing on her, almost making her unable to breathe.
"Sorry, Tayuya. I'll get up right away."
.........
"What are you guys doing?"
Sasuke and Orochimaru's cold gazes landed on everyone like knives. They knew they had caused trouble and knelt down in the room together, so nervous that they were trembling.
"Sorry, Lord Orochimaru. We didn't mean to eavesdrop, but it's so strange. We're already excellent enough. Why do we still need to select people from other bases?"
"This is a decision between me and Sasuke. You just do your own jobs well."
Tayuya turned her face to the side, obviously not happy about what they were doing.
"Kimimaro, say something!"
"Jūgo is my good friend. I have no problem with him coming here. It's just that I've never heard of the other two. Are they really that powerful?"
Kimimaro looked directly at Sasuke without any evasion, hoping to get an answer from Sasuke. After all, the tacit understanding formed between the two after their cultivation at the Ryūchi Cave was unparalleled.
"Yeah, that woman named Karin not only has super strong sensor abilities, but she also knows Medical Ninjutsu. This is an essential asset for team operations in the current Ninja system!"
"What about the other one?"
"Suigetsu. I recognize his strength and Bloodline Limit. That guy grew up in Kiri. His strength is also pretty good. He's suitable for reconnaissance and such activities."
