Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Orochimaru: Come with me, Sasuke-kun
"Since you know my identity, yet still dare to approach me, do you think you can
defeat me?"
Orochimaru's disgusting tongue slithered at the corner of his mouth.
Sasuke stared at Orochimaru. "Whether I can defeat you, I'll know after I try. But that's
not why I'm here."
Isn't it to avenge your previous defeat?
Now, Orochimaru became even more interested in Sasuke.
This boy was truly full of surprises.
First, the cursed seal showed no noticeable effect. Then, Sasuke's strength increased
rapidly in a short time, his progress accelerating as if he were on a rocket.
This was far beyond what Orochimaru had anticipated.
"Then why did you dare to chase after me?"
Orochimaru gently moved his injured shoulder, the bleeding had stopped.
"For Akatsuki."
Akatsuki?
Orochimaru froze for a moment, surprised that Sasuke knew about Akatsuki.
"How do you know..."
At this point, Akatsuki was still considered a secret in the entire ninja world, a highly
covert organization.
Moreover, the various villages didn't seem to pay much attention to it.
"Itachi is in Akatsuki, isn't he?"
Sasuke said flatly.
Orochimaru knew that Itachi had joined Akatsuki, but he was shocked that Sasuke
knew of its existence.
Given Sasuke's current status and position, it would have been impossible for him to
obtain such intelligence.
What method did this little brat use to find out about Akatsuki's existence?
"You want intelligence about Akatsuki from me?"
Sasuke nodded. "That's right!"
Although Orochimaru couldn't figure out how Sasuke knew about Akatsuki, he had
now caught on to something. Sasuke wanted to find Itachi Uchiha.
The goal was simple. Even if Sasuke didn't say it, Orochimaru knew.
It was for revenge.
Itachi had killed the entire Uchiha clan.
Sasuke must hate Itachi to the bone! Though Orochimaru knew there were other
underlying reasons, this was of little concern to him.
"You want to find Itachi Uchiha for revenge?"
Hearing this, Sasuke remained silent. He hadn't decided whether or not he would kill
Itachi yet.
After all, the current Sasuke was not the same as before.
But the reason for asking about Akatsuki's information was to shock Orochimaru.
If Orochimaru didn't even know about Akatsuki's existence, then what Sasuke really
wanted to ask later wouldn't surprise him as much. In fact, he might even think it was
normal.
Sasuke remained silent, and Orochimaru smiled, thinking that he had guessed
correctly.
"The former Sannin, now the rogue ninja Orochimaru, returning to Konoha... it can't
be that simple, right?"
When Sasuke spoke, Orochimaru's smile faded.
He hadn't expected a brat to guess so much.
"Do you want to know what I'm doing in Konoha?"
Sasuke shook his head. "No! That question isn't important to me."
"I came here for you, Sasuke-kun!"
Suddenly, Orochimaru said these words.
For him!
Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan wasn't really his main target.
To be accurate, Sasuke had only stumbled upon it by chance.
However, by saying this, Orochimaru clearly wanted to distract Sasuke, as it seemed
he didn't want anyone to know about the Konoha collapse plan.
"For me?"
"Sasuke-kun, how about coming with me? You want revenge. I can give you the power
to take revenge!"
Orochimaru now directly tried to lure Sasuke in.
There was no other choice. Sasuke was so outstanding that Orochimaru started to
worry. If he didn't take Sasuke now...
There might not be another chance.
After all, Sasuke was too brilliant, and he was from the Uchiha clan. It wouldn't take
long before he was in danger in Konoha.
Besides Sarutobi, there was also an old hidden coin behind the scenes.
Sasuke might not even know when the other party might secretly eliminate him.
"Give me power?"
"You think you can give me power?"
Crack!
Crackle...
Sasuke's lightning release instantly exploded, and his lightning fully activated.
The furious lightning burst out, instantly splitting the surrounding trees in half.
Looking at Sasuke covered in violent lightning, he looked full of murderous intent.
Orochimaru waved his hand. "Your strength is impressive. At your age, reaching this
level is truly remarkable!"
"But compared to that man, you're still too inexperienced."
"Come with me, and I can help you become stronger, then help you get revenge on
Itachi Uchiha!"
Sasuke looked at Orochimaru.
He seemed somewhat conflicted, and seeing this, Orochimaru continued to persuade
him.
In fact, Sasuke had already been considering leaving Konoha. After all, staying there
was indeed troublesome.
Konoha's environment was very complicated, but Sasuke hoped to take the Forbidden
Sealing Book with him before leaving.
So...
The main purpose of meeting with Orochimaru was to cooperate with him and steal
the Forbidden Sealing Book.
"No! Do you really think you can help me defeat Itachi?"
"I don't believe it!"
Orochimaru was stunned. As a Sannin, his strength was unquestionable.
"Without strong jutsu, it's impossible to defeat that man!"
Hearing this, Orochimaru sensed that Sasuke seemed to have some specific goal.
"So Sasuke-kun, what do you want to do?"
"The Forbidden Sealing Book!"
When Orochimaru heard these four words, his excitement grew.
The Forbidden Sealing Book was something he truly desired, as it contained many
forbidden techniques of Konoha.
But getting it wouldn't be that easy.
After all, it was personally guarded by the Hokage, and normally...
Wait, this might be the best opportunity!
Orochimaru looked at Sasuke. "Perhaps... I can help you get the Forbidden Sealing
Book!"
"If you can get the Forbidden Sealing Book, then I'll go with you!"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes gleamed. "Alright... Sasuke-kun, don't worry. I
will definitely get the Forbidden Sealing Book for you!"
As he said this, Orochimaru was about to say more, but suddenly footsteps came
from a distance.
Orochimaru reluctantly glanced at Sasuke.
"It looks like our conversation is coming to an end. It's a pity, I wanted to talk more
with you!"
