Chapter 302: Orochimaru's Answer

The Sannin hesitated for a moment, then smiled slyly.

"Who would have thought that I would hear this from you ... I don't even know whether to laugh or start to be afraid!" I don't understand... I could take those words from Sasuke's lips, from anyone, but from you? Orochimaru's eyes twinkled.

— What are you thinking? I might think you're incapable of such schemes, but... Now I'm not sure. Who are you? What did you do with the Naruto Uzumaki we all loved?

A very sharp and timely question. Naturally, he suspected a lot, but without proper evidence he could not draw conclusions, which is why he asked so jokingly, with his sly grin. But really, he wanted to hear any answer. It didn't make sense to ask in the beginning, but after Naruto's words, it's a must.

- Ha...

He would rather be surprised if Orochimaru asked something else.

"I have indeed changed, but I can assure you, I am Naruto Uzumaki.

And he didn't lie... Almost.

- Some knowledge has changed my understanding and understanding of the world, but this does not mean that I am now pursuing other goals. I still want the world...

And preferably all!

"...only my methods have changed. Knowledge of the future showed me the truth. Now I'm not going to rely on the passive politics of the past, now I want change. That's why I called you. In my opinion, people like you, Orochimaru, can still significantly change the future. What would you do if you were in your hands, the body of one of the Ōtsutsuki? Yes, at least part of his DNA?

The Sannin's face changed drastically and became serious.

"Wait... Ōtsutsuki?" You mean..." He lowered his gaze thoughtfully, touching his chin with his hand.

"Really, it was worth waiting... Have they already appeared?" Or will there be more? Did Sasuke tell you about this?

"Is that so..." The Sannin peered into Naruto's face with narrowed eyes, and then asked:

"Are you saying that we are under threat, and that is why you have changed so much?" It's hard to believe... I know you too well...

He hesitated, narrowing his eyes, waiting for at least some kind of reaction, but received nothing but calmness, and therefore he chuckled and shook his head:

"Ha... Since you're still hiding something, I won't ask, apparently, it's useless," after his usual grin, Orochimaru licked his lips:

"But what you said about Ōtsutsuki's body sounded tempting, and about the opportunity to work in Konoha... Hmm, are you sure you should trust me?" I would say that it looks like you, but now I don't understand if it's true ... All this is fascinating ...

Yulit again...

Naruto asked with a smirk.

- And what have you decided?

"Hmm, what did I decide? Fu-fu-fu, apparently, you decided everything for me... I won't say that it doesn't bother me, but if everything you say comes true, then it's really interesting. I like this future and it will be fun to participate in it.

The Hokage put his fingers together and asked thoughtfully:

- This is your answer?

- Yes. Consider it consent. I was really wondering what are your changes to Naruto Uzumaki and what they will bring to the future. If you so want me to be around, then I'm only too happy to help, but I can't promise that I won't have my own views on things. Have you thought it through?

The Hokage was slightly surprised by this response. In fact, Orochimaru was interested not only in this future, but apparently, he was much more interested in how Naruto would affect him. He may also have been seduced by the bodies of the Ōtsutsuki.

This snake seemed to understand something.... His true motives were still in question.
