Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 62: The information was wrong, Orochimaru was shocked, Kamizuki made a request, and Orochima

"This kid is strange; he seems to have known I was coming!"

The more Orochimaru fought with Kamizuki, the stranger Kamizuki's behavior seemed.

He hasn't used any powerful ninjutsu yet, and the entire fight has been taijutsu, as if he's afraid of disturbing others.

Even when the two were fighting, he could clearly feel that Shen Yue looked at him as if he were a precious treasure.

It's a bit like the way he looks at his experimental subjects.

"Did I run into a pervert?"

He had a vague feeling that he had fallen into Shenyue's trap.

The other party seemed to have been waiting for his arrival.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Another intense exchange of physical techniques ensued.

Whoosh!

Shen Yue and Orochimaru retreated simultaneously, creating distance between them.

Shen Yue remained calm and composed, showing no signs of fatigue or shortness of breath.

The Sharingan stared intently at Orochimaru.

"One of the legendary Sannin, and this is all?" Shen Yue couldn't help but mock, while feeling quite pleased with himself.

Even the legendary Sannin are no longer mysterious to him.

"Arrogant Uchiha brat!" Orochimaru's expression was furious as he carefully examined Shingetsu's condition, a hint of doubt and confusion appearing in his golden vertical pupils.

"We just exchanged blows, and his chakra doesn't seem to have decreased at all!"

"Could it be that Danzo's intelligence was wrong, or... has his strength increased dramatically again in a short period of time?"

"Could this also be the power of the Sharingan, the power of the Uchiha clan? It's truly captivating!"

Orochimaru harbored many doubts.

Previously, Danzo's intelligence indicated that Shingetsu's chakra reserves were insufficient to support the high-intensity consumption of battle.

But now it seems...

That's not true at all.

However, he was more inclined to believe that Danzo's information was incorrect.

After all, in his understanding, the only ninjutsu that could greatly increase chakra in the short term was Sage Mode.

However, Shenyue's body did not transform into an immortal.

"Orochimaru, stop for now. Even if you keep fighting, you won't be able to do anything to me!" Kamui said calmly.

"Why do you seem to have known I was coming all along? What did you mean by saying you've been waiting for me for a long time?" Orochimaru stared intently at Shingetsu with his golden vertical pupils.

Shingetsu did not answer directly; his Sharingan gleamed with a calm light in the night.

He abandoned his aggressive stance, and asked in a calm yet undeniably authoritative tone:

"Should we join forces?"

Orochimaru was taken aback by these words.

His slender tongue unconsciously licked his lips, a playful expression on his face.

"Uchiha brat, your thinking is so unpredictable. We were just fighting hand-to-hand, risking our lives, and now you want to talk about cooperation with me, a Konoha S-rank rogue ninja?"

"Uchiha Shingetsu, your audacity is even more astonishing than your strength," Orochimaru retorted with a cold laugh. "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Konoha, by your clan, and by the Third Hokage?"

"Konoha Village, and the entire ninja world, has become corrupt and disappointing."

Shen Yue's voice was calm, as if stating a very simple fact, but his tone contained a coldness and disappointment beyond his years.

This caused Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils to narrow slightly.

"Hmph, a little brat with quite the big mouth. Wants to change the ninja world? What's the difference between you and those lunatics?" Orochimaru thought of Pain and the others in Akatsuki.

The opponent possesses the Rinnegan and is incredibly powerful.

He also has Sasori of the Red Sand under his command, as well as many other top-tier ninjas in the ninja world.

However, Payne's plan seemed too idealistic to him.

In his view, talking about changing the world is the most naive and ridiculous thing to do.

Instead of wasting time on that, it would be better to carefully study the mysteries of the human body, prolong life, learn all the ninjutsu in the world, and master all powers.

To become the ultimate being, transcending everything.

Shen Yue ignored his sarcasm and continued, her gaze seemingly piercing through Orochimaru's heart:

"Orochimaru, your heart is filled with resentment towards this world, anger at the brevity of life, and fury at your thirst for truth yet being bound by worldly rules. Your pursuit of immortality and your exploration of all the world's mysteries are essentially driven by a desire to transcend this disappointing framework. And I need your help!"

He paused again as he spoke.

"I won't talk about vague concepts like peace or fear like Xiao does. What I want is something more practical: breaking down old production relations, establishing a new order, and using power for creation rather than an endless cycle of destruction. In this process, scientists like you, your knowledge and research will be extremely valuable."

"Oh, you even know about Akatsuki's existence?" Orochimaru was even more surprised when he heard Kamizuki easily mention Akatsuki's existence.

This organization is extremely secretive, even to him.

It was only when Pain unleashed Shinra Tensei and captured him that he became aware of Akatsuki's existence.

How did this ten-year-old Uchiha boy find out?

Of course, more importantly.

What Shenyue just said.

He feared death, aging, and losing everything.

The core issue is utter disappointment with this ninja world.

After all, his parents died in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

The trauma it caused him was too great.

"Uchiha Shingetsu, your insight is even more terrifying than your ninjutsu!" Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils gave Shingetsu a deep look, his eyes filled with deep apprehension.

"Oh, so you're agreeing to join forces with me and become my ally?" Kamizuki continued to extend an olive branch to Orochimaru.

"Hmph, to be your comrade, you stupid Uchiha brat, thinking that having some strength means you can control everything? Don't you know that comrades are meant to be betrayed?" Orochimaru stuck out his long, bright red tongue, seemingly trying to provoke Shingetsu.

However, to his surprise...

"You're right!" Shen Yue seemed to have ignored Orochimaru's sarcasm, and while pondering seriously with his chin in hand, he nodded.

"Hmph. You think that by saying that I'll think you're magnanimous and a leader worth following? You Uchiha brat, you're too naive!?" Orochimaru felt a surge of anger rising within him upon seeing Kamizuki's reaction.

Shingetsu seemed completely oblivious to Orochimaru's taunts.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, having come up with an idea.

"Got it!"

"Let's leave it at that!"

As he spoke, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he reached out his hand to Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, become my son, bear my name, and make a name for yourself in this ninja world!"

"What did you say, you Uchiha brat!" Orochimaru could hardly believe his ears.

Who is he?

One of the legendary Sannin of Konoha!

S-rank rogue ninja!

Who would dare make such an impolite request to him?

"Oh, you're not satisfied? I already said, I don't need you to be my partner. You can be my son. That way, we'll be father and son, and I'll definitely love and care for you like your own father!"
