Chapter 515: Orochimaru's Purpose
Before Orochimaru came, his purpose of cooperating with Kaito was very simple.
That was to use Kaito and the Kirigakure Village behind him to help him fight against and contain the entire Zero Organization.
When the Zero Organization was first established, Orochimaru was one of the first rebels recruited by the leader of the organization, the guy who called himself Uchiha Madara.
At that time, he noticed that the leader of the organization actually possessed the legendary Rinnegan, which only the Sage of Six Paths possessed.
However, when the leader of the organization recruited him, he did not use gentle means.
Orochimaru knew clearly that he was not the opponent of this leader. He could only be forced to join the Zero Organization and wait for the opportunity to take action.
Later, the monster codenamed "Boar" and named Black Zetsu in the organization provided him with good experimental materials and even the development ideas of many ninjutsu such as "Impure World Reincarnation".
Orochimaru was happy to concentrate and use the resources of the organization for development and research.
However, he did not give up on seizing the Rinnegan and made a lot of preparations in private.
Until recently, Orochimaru felt that he was well prepared.
He also realized that the other party seemed to attach great importance to the development progress of the ninjutsu "Impure World Reincarnation".
Even if he provoked him a little, as long as the research of this technique had not reached the predetermined goal, the leader of the organization would not kill him.
Orochimaru simply launched another sneak attack.
As for the result, Orochimaru did not even touch the corner of the leader's clothes, and was easily defeated by the opponent again.
Fortunately, his guess was right.
Even with such a clear provocation, the opponent finally chose to restrict his freedom.
He was ordered not to leave the base for a single step, and to concentrate on researching and advancing the progress of "Impure World Reincarnation".
Even the subsequent outing missions were done by him using magical ninjutsu called "Impersonation Jutsu".
However, after seeing the magical ability of "Impersonation Jutsu" that is exclusive to the Rinnegan, Orochimaru coveted the Rinnegan, which is known as the Eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, even more.
At the same time, because of his self-proclaimed identity as a "researcher", Orochimaru acted more recklessly.
In fact, with Orochimaru's ability, it is not impossible for him to make up his mind to escape from the so-called base.
Even if there is a possible organization to hunt him down in the future, Orochimaru just thinks it is a bit troublesome and is not too worried.
But 'the leader's Rinnegan cannot be obtained, but the one hidden by Black Zetsu may not be without a chance!'
Yes, because Orochimaru later investigated the organization's base recklessly, the leader gradually began to get used to it.
In an accident, he actually found out that in addition to the Rinnegan in the leader's eye socket, there was actually another Rinnegan hidden by the monster named Black Zetsu.
Even the Rinnegan in the leader's eye may have been transplanted later.
'The Sage of Six Paths is known as the source of all ninjutsu, so since the leader can transplant the Rinnegan, why can't I?'
Based on this idea, Orochimaru is more eager for the Rinnegan.
Moreover, it might be easier to find the Rinnegan hidden somewhere and then escape than to snatch it from a strong man who possesses it.
However, the whereabouts of the monster named Black Zetsu are quite strange, and when it appears, it follows the leader most of the time.
It is too difficult for him, a member of the organization, to capture Black Zetsu or investigate the hiding place of another Rinnegan.
So Orochimaru came up with the idea of looking for allies from outside.
And Mizukage Kaito, who can give headaches to the leaders of organizations with such strength, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for an ally.
However, Orochimaru would never tell Kaito the truth about his true thoughts.
What he wanted was to take advantage of the intelligence and use Kaito to contain the organization and even the leader, and find opportunities from it.
On the contrary, he himself did not have too many demands on Kaito.
As long as he gave the "appropriate" information, he could achieve his goal smoothly.
However, after seeing some of Kaito's strength today, Orochimaru had some new ideas.
'This Mizukage can have such strength at this age, even surpassing the former God of Ninja World, Senju Hashirama. There must be some unknown secrets in him!'
'If I can find out the secret of Kaito and get his body, no, even if I just study his physique, plus the Rinnegan, then I may be able to get a glimpse of the realm of the legendary Sage of Six Paths!!'
Thinking of this, Orochimaru looked at Kaito with more and more fiery eyes.
Even Mei, who was standing behind Kaito, was a little scared.
"Hey! Kaito is asking you, what do you want to get by cooperating with us?!"
The somewhat angry girl's voice brought Orochimaru back to his senses instantly, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips gently.
Seeing this, Kaito and the other two all showed a look of disdain.
Orochimaru himself seemed to be unaware of the eyes of the three people, and spoke again in his slightly hoarse and magnetic voice.
"Get anything? I don't have any demands for Kirigakure for the time being. Zero Organization is our common enemy. As long as you can use the information I provide to fight the Zero Organization, it will be enough."
"And this is just a preliminary cooperation."
At this point, Orochimaru seemed to think of something and looked at Momochi Zabuza who was standing behind Kaito.
Although he was not going to reveal his true purpose, if there was no request, it would seem a bit too cheap to just provide information blindly.
Orochimaru simply pointed at Zabuza and continued to speak.
"If Mizukage-sama is satisfied with the information I will give you later, or if we have any other cooperation, I hope to get a copy of the technology to create Zero Tail from Kirigakure."
Yes, Orochimaru saw from the beginning that the power of the tailed beast in Zabuza was not normal.
Although he knew that Karatachi Yagura in the organization also had the technology to create Zero Tail.
But the technology mastered by Kirigakure seemed to have gone a step further.
Although he was now restricted to the organization's base, it was impossible for him to blatantly take out this new technology for research.
But the leader of the organization could not restrict his freedom forever.
Moreover, the Zero Organization itself seemed to attach great importance to the tailed beasts, and it would not be a bad thing to have one more trump card in the future.
Hearing this, Kaito calmly looked at Orochimaru's pair of snake eyes, his eyes were deep and dark, like a deep pool that was hard to fathom.
Until the silence lasted for a long time, the whistling wind and snow began to gradually subside.
Even Orochimaru, who was originally confident about this trip, began to think involuntarily whether the other party really needed the information he gave and was ready to continue to increase the stakes.
Kaito then slowly spoke to him.
"Okay."
