Chapter 179: Orochimaru: He’s Tempting Me!
After understanding the reason, Itachi was very firm.
He canceled his plan to take Sasuke away for now.
"Itachi, do you really trust this guy?" Kisame was still wary of Orochimaru.
"It's not him I trust."
Itachi didn't trust Orochimaru, but he was very sure that Orochimaru wouldn't dare to face Madara, at least not openly.
So Sasuke was truly safe for a short time.
Besides, Orochimaru was right.
Once the war started in the future, all that was left was him and Kisame. It would be difficult to protect Sasuke's safety in a chaotic battle, let alone take advantage of the opportunity to seize the Rinnegan.
It was indeed better for Sasuke to stay in Konoha.
"Wise choice!"
Orochimaru took Sasuke and couldn't hide the smile on his face.
❀❀❀
Soon, Kisame helped Itachi and left.
After seeing them leave, Orochimaru also relaxed a little.
Tonight's drama was full of twists and turns.
Although he failed to meet all expectations, this result was pretty good for him.
He only sacrificed one arm in the whole process, not to mention it was no problem for him to reattach his broken arm.
Only poor Sasuke.
He was unconscious the whole time, not only missing the 'good opportunity' to catch his father's real killer.
After waking up from sleep, he would find many scars on his body.
Then, Orochimaru split into two shadow clones.
One of them checked Sasuke's wounds and healed him, the other jumped into the ravine, ready to rescue the four Otogakure ninjas.
Although cunning like a snake, Orochimaru never left his subordinates within reach of his abilities.
In this aspect alone, he was far superior to Danzo.
Orochimaru himself went to Lux. He obviously still had many questions and wanted to consult with this mysterious man.
"Is something wrong?"
"I still have some questions, Sir. Is this convenient?" Orochimaru was very polite. He didn't dare to be rude even though he wasn't sure about Lux.
"You want to ask where Madara came from, right?"
"Thank you, Sir. I'm indeed very curious and want an answer."
Orochimaru had long been curious about where Hashirama, Tobirama, and the others came from.
With his wisdom, it was easy to judge that Hashirama and the others did not live in this era, otherwise, they wouldn't ignore the current situation of Konoha.
But they and Madara were now living humans.
This was truly contradictory.
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
"Are those people from the past?"
"Correct!"
After receiving an accurate answer, Orochimaru's heart trembled and became very hot, and bright fireworks seemed to bloom in his eyes.
His biggest enemy in this life was lifespan and time!
In the face of eternal time. Except for gods, no matter how strong a ninja was, they would turn to dust.
Only by conquering eternal life and defeating time could he reach the other side of truth!
Now he had personally confirmed that someone could travel through space and time, conquer death, and cross the long river of time, how could he not be excited?
Still the same sentence.
What he feared most was not that his end point was too far away, but that his end point didn't exist!
As long as there was still, it meant that he could come. There was no news more encouraging for Orochimaru than this.
"Them, you brought them here?"
"Yes."
"Can humans really travel through space and time, from the past to the future?"
"They can."
Lux could be sure of this, even if she set aside her own system and her parallel world.
The ninja world itself had powers and props that could traverse space and time, including Ryumyaku.
It's just that, these things were more or less limited and could easily cause chaos and rejection in space and time itself.
But it was enough to prove that time could be reversed!
"I didn't expect that anyone could actually travel through space and time! However, the price to pay must be very high."
"You can't afford it."
Lux's meaning was clear. Orochimaru couldn't do it, but it didn't mean others couldn't.
After all, it cost almost nothing to travel through space and time and cross worlds.
Orochimaru clearly understood, and he was very wise, so he immediately asked:
"What do you need, Sir? Just ask and I'll do my best to satisfy you!"
Orochimaru understood the principle of equal exchange best: if you want to get something, you have to give something.
As long as he could get a glimpse of the 'secret of space and time', he was willing to pay any price!
After all, how many people were willing to sell themselves for a little increase in strength!
"Orochimaru, make a deal."
Lux decided to be more straightforward.
Orochimaru, unlike Hashirama Minato, didn't need to be given too much guidance, and he himself didn't oppose the unification of the ninja world.
It would be better if his goals and transactions were clear, which might stimulate Orochimaru's desire and accelerate the unification of Parallel World 3.
"Very good! Sir, please tell me."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said in anticipation. He also really liked trading, which was much better than goodwill without reason.
"Get rid of the Akatsuki organization, and I can take you to the future."
"The future? Can you see me in the future?"
"You can see it."
Orochimaru's breath shortened again, and his eyes became sharper.
Who wouldn't want to meet themselves in the future?
How high could he reach in the future with his own talent and efforts?
Orochimaru himself couldn't even estimate it!
But thinking about it, he definitely wouldn't be disappointed. Could it be that he had conquered death and touched the truth of life?
Then, could his current self also contact him?
So that he could save decades of accumulation and achieve success in one step?
Thinking about this, Orochimaru became more excited and almost couldn't help but twist his waist.
Orochimaru took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked again:
"Does Sir have a grudge against Akatsuki?"
"No."
"Then?"
"There's a second deal, do you want to hear it?"
Lux had no explanation and couldn't explain it clearly.
The reason didn't matter, it was just a deal.
Orochimaru's personality was also very suitable, he wouldn't be too aggressive, he only cared about goals and results.
"Of course, I want to hear it."
"Deal 2: Destroy the five great villages and give you a god's corpse!"
"If it can be completed within three years, this god can even be alive!"
Hearing this, Orochimaru's breath froze, and he froze in place.
A pair of snake eyes unconsciously contracted violently, which was enough to see the shock in his heart.
"A god?"
"Yes. At least at the level of Rikudo Sennin, a god who holds the secret of eternal life!"
"How about this? Is this enough?"
Lux threw away her chips.
There were several members of the Otsutsuki clan who were comparable to Rikudo Sennin, including Ishiki, Momoshiki, Urashiki, Jinshiki, etc.
Although describing them as gods was a bit exaggerated. But in the eyes of ninjas, and in the simple understanding of the ninja world, the Otsutsuki Clan was indeed no different from gods.
Moreover, they had Karma comparable to immortality, which could be considered to meet Orochimaru's requirements.
As long as Orochimaru as the Fifth Hokage could quickly unify the ninja world and complete the main mission of Parallel World 3.
Lux really didn't mind taking one or two Otsutsuki as bargaining chips for the reward.
Besides, if Orochimaru could really use this to develop even more heaven-defying technologies, he would be able to feed other worlds and accelerate the unification of other ninja worlds.
Just getting a lot done with one stone.
He couldn't lose this deal no matter what.
He was sure that Orochimaru himself wouldn't be able to refuse.
