Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 67 Orochimaru's complicated feelings: He agrees to join forces, a strange alliance!

Upon seeing Shingetsu appear, he rescued Yakushi Kabuto.

Orochimaru sneered, "Uchiha...Kamizuki, you actually dare to come?!"

"If the clash of ninjutsu hadn't been so loud, I would have captured you long ago and made you my most precious test subject."

His golden vertical pupils were fixed on Shen Yue, his tone cold yet full of confidence.

"This is bad!" Hearing Orochimaru's threatening words, Kabuto Yakushi, who was being protected behind him, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Although he had witnessed Kamizuki defeat Orochimaru and felt Kamizuki's power and extraordinary abilities, in his deeply ingrained perception and the awe he had developed over the years, Orochimaru was still one of the unfathomable, unpredictable, and terrifying "Sannin".

Although Shingetsu is powerful, he is too young. Can he really deal with Orochimaru in his rage?

However, Shingetsu remained calm, his Sharingan meeting Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils as he said confidently, "Even if we fight again, you won't be able to do anything to me. The result will only be the same as before, drawing the Third Hokage and the others here again. It won't benefit either of us."

"That old man from the third generation!"

"I just didn't want to kill him. As for you, your chakra hasn't decreased at all?"

"Such a fast recovery speed!" Orochimaru heard Kamizuki's words and unconsciously licked his lips with his long, thin tongue, while keenly sensing Kamizuki's aura.

He could indeed feel that after the intense battle just now, Shen Yue's chakra was still plentiful, and the recovery speed was even astonishing, not at all like someone who had undergone high-intensity consumption.

This made him realize how amazing Shenyue's recovery ability was.

Little did he know that Shingetsu, who had successfully fused with the White Zetsu cells, had a total chakra level of two kilocalories.

The recovery speed is also far greater than before, reaching an astonishing level.

Moreover, Shingetsu's Body Flicker Technique, combined with powerful ninjutsu, makes him indeed difficult to deal with.

Realizing that Shingetsu was not bluffing but genuinely had the strength, Orochimaru temporarily suppressed his urge to attack immediately.

His golden vertical pupils gleamed as he asked the question that had been bothering him: "Why do you want to team up with me? I'm an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha. I just tried to kill your subordinates and capture you for experiments."

Shingetsu looked at Orochimaru and slowly said, "In this ninja world, some people are superstitious about bloodlines, believing that everything is predetermined at birth; others believe in hard work and bonds. But only you, Orochimaru, believe in science, in the knowledge and truth to explore all the mysteries of the world. You have dedicated your entire life to scientific research, pursuing immortality, exploring the essence of life, and trying to break the limits of mortals."

He paused, his tone unusually serious and appreciative: "What I want to implement is a strategy of revitalizing the village and even the nation through science and education. The Uchiha clan needs change, and the outdated order of the ninja world needs to be broken by more advanced productive forces and relations of production. In this process, top scientists like you, with your knowledge, technology, and research capabilities, are indispensable and invaluable assets. I desperately need talent like you."

"Is this your ultimate goal?"

When Orochimaru heard Kamizuki's words, especially the phrases "believe in science," "dedicate oneself to scientific research," "revitalize the village through science and education," and "indispensable talent," his golden vertical pupils widened slightly.

He dedicated his life to researching forbidden techniques and exploring the mysteries of life, but he was often regarded as a heretic and a demon by the world. Even his former teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, could not truly understand his pursuit.

At this moment, hearing an understanding and high praise for his path from a ten-year-old Uchiha boy, he was deeply moved and felt a rare sense of having met a kindred spirit.

Although this "confidant" was ridiculously young, his insightful observations and seemingly absurd yet insightful statements made him unable to ignore him.

"Damn it, could it be that in the end, this Uchiha brat is the one who understands me the most?" For the first time, Orochimaru felt a sense of absurdity and strangeness.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

However, he is Orochimaru after all, and he will not easily reveal his true emotions.

His gaze remained cold, carrying a hint of probing and warning: "Hmph, that sounds nice. But I am Orochimaru, a Konoha S-rank rogue ninja, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. I am extremely dangerous. Teaming up with me is like asking a tiger for its skin. Aren't you afraid that I might turn against you at any moment, or use your secrets, or even the entire Uchiha clan, as experimental subjects?"

Shen Yue smiled, a smile brimming with the arrogance and confidence characteristic of the Uchiha clan: "Coincidentally, I am the genius ninja who bears the name of the Uchiha clan. You've already witnessed the power of the Uchiha tonight. I have extensive experience dealing with dangerous individuals. The greater the risk, the greater the reward often is. Besides..."

His Sharingan flickered slightly: "I believe that for scientists who truly pursue truth and immortality, a stable, well-resourced partner who can provide a broad research platform and forward-thinking ideas is more attractive than a temporary employer who may be constantly scheming against each other and whose relationship is full of uncertainty."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

The atmosphere became tense and fraught with a strange tension.

Kabuto, standing to the side, watched the two nervously, sensing that they might start fighting again at any moment.

However, to Kabuto's surprise...

Suddenly, Shingetsu and Orochimaru exchanged a smile.

There was no murderous intent or hostility in that smile; instead, it conveyed a sense of tacit understanding.

The coldness and mockery in Orochimaru's eyes faded somewhat, replaced by a deeper interest and scrutiny.

The Sharingan in Shingetsu's eyes also returned to calm.

"Heh heh heh... Interesting, Uchiha Shingetsu." Orochimaru chuckled hoarsely. "I'm somewhat interested in your suggestion. Perhaps a temporary alliance would be a good option. However, don't expect me to completely obey your orders."

Shingetsu gently stroked the Kusanagi sword in his hand: "Then you'd better watch out for me!"

"That's it?" Kabuto was a little confused. He had thought that their negotiations were about to fall apart and they would start fighting.

But in the blink of an eye, the two of them reached an agreement again?

"Hmph, this alliance is sure to be very interesting!" Orochimaru glanced at the still-shaken Kabuto Yakushi, then at the composed Shingetsu, and finally nodded.

"Then let's join forces and take down Danzo!" Kamui suggested.

Right now, the first person he wants to kill is Danzo.

He cut off Danzo's ear.

Danzo hated him to the core.

He also dreamed of killing Danzo.

Now we have Orochimaru.

With him betraying Danzo, the chances of success are very high!

"The assassination attempt on Danzo, that old fox, is quite different from that old man, the Third Hokage!"
