Chapter 303: Forced to disappoint you

Chapter 303: Forced to disappoint you

Of course, Orochimaru's views and his secret experiments are an old question that Naruto has already touched upon in his reflections. But it's not that important. As long as the snake isn't drawing attention or up to something troublesome, it can be useful. Human experimentation in Konoha is forbidden until the end justifies the means. Probably, Orochimaru understands this, so he is unlikely to start a riot. Anyway, the Hokage summoned him for a reason. He had his own goals - directly related to the future.

To some extent, Naruto had been expecting something like this long before this conversation. True, he thought that Orochimaru would start asking more questions. But it seems that information about the future and his changed personality was enough for him. The Sannin wanted to find out the answers personally, clearly aware that there was something behind the Hokage's words. That's what made him different from other people...

"Well, if that's the case..." Naruto didn't point it out. He knew very well that controlling someone like Orochimaru would not be easy.

"Since you agree and even spared me questions, we'll end here.

"Fu-fu-fu, it's much more interesting to communicate with you like that ..." Orochimaru smiled slyly, realizing the meaning of the words of the Hokage. He clearly understood his position, but still made a decision.

"I can't wait for our cooperation, Naruto-kun." I'm sure we'll have many memories together...

Because of the cheeky grin of this snake, he could not help a wry smile:

- I guess so.

"Fufufu, this answer makes me tremble even more..."

The Hokage ignored this and decided to clarify one more detail:

"What about Kabuto?" Do you have the ability to bring him back to work?

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised.

"Unexpectedly... But, perhaps, I have to disappoint you," he stopped smiling:

— I tried to contact my negligent student, but, unfortunately, he decided to leave science in the past. I can't blame him for that...

The snake sighed and did not continue. In the past, he had tried to talk to Kabuto once, but it was all in vain. Former colleague began a new life.

"Well, that's a pity..." even though Naruto said so, he didn't really get upset, but only changed the topic:

"How soon will you arrive in Konoha?" And what will happen to the Sound Village?

"To be honest, it would be better if someone like you and hundreds of resurrected ancestors fought on our side. Disrespect for the dead? Just nonsense. I don't care how many old bones would have to be lifted in order for more people like Neji to survive that war.

Hearing those words, Orochimaru only smiled. Many thoughts swirled in his head, but he was no longer surprised by what he heard from the current Hokage. Cruel truth. And this fanatical boy, suddenly began to support such logic?

"Amazing..."

In fact, Naruto was a terribly dangerous and talented shinobi. If not for his innate stupidity, educated naivety, he would have achieved much more. All this despite the fact that, in fact, he had already reached the top. Even with all his shortcomings, Naruto sat in the Hokage chair and was one of the strongest ninja in the world, but what would be, his thoughts are wider?

It was these theories that attracted Orochimaru. The trembling desire to see what this upgraded Naruto Uzumaki would achieve made him ignore even the reasons for these changes.

Even if his personality is replaced by another... What's the difference? Watching him is much more interesting than the last predictable fool.

"Fufufu, well, it's good to hear such words from you. Sunny bowed slightly, and then slyly smiled.

"And since you're offering me Root territories, I certainly won't refuse such a gift." This is a much better place than I expected. Initially, I chose the Forest of Death, but now it seems that I don't even have to think much about the structure of the shelter. Thank you very much.

Naruto waved it off.

"No need, just send Karin to me. Let her take care of this while you sort out your Village.

— Karin? Hm...

Orochimaru bowed with a smirk.

"Understood, Hokage-sama.

"Hmm, is something wrong?"

— No, no, what are you... I was just surprised by your request. But I guess it makes sense... Fufufu, she will arrive as soon as she can. I give my word.

- Good. Naruto nodded briefly. He was actually surprised by the flair of this snake.

"Interesting..."

He wanted to take the opportunity to reach out his hands to his subordinate, but now everything is in question. In any case, if Karin didn't come, or stayed in the Sound Village, it wouldn't be difficult to reach her, especially outside of Orochimaru's control. Now, if she arrives in Konoha, it will become even easier. As soon as the girl falls under his direct control, Naruto will be able to call her to him and do whatever he wants with her. You just need to find a weak spot.
