I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

after one day.

Sound Village.

Inside a dimly lit experimental base.

Orochimaru, holding a white bandage in his left hand and surgical forceps in his right, was intently studying the mysteries of the human body on the operating table.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded from the corridor.

"Pat! Pat! Pat!!"

"Crunch!!"

The laboratory door was suddenly opened.

A man wearing round-rimmed glasses walked towards us.

The newcomer was none other than Orochimaru's trusted subordinate, Kabuto Yakushi!

At this moment, Kabuto looked at Orochimaru, who was intently studying the human body. He opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Instead, they stood aside and simply waited.

At that moment, Orochimaru, who was performing surgery, didn't even turn his head, continuing the operation, and then asked directly, "Have the Akatsuki members arrived?"

Upon hearing this, Kabuto, who was waiting, immediately nodded in response.

"Yes, they're here."

Upon hearing his subordinate's reply, Orochimaru paused for a moment.

He then proceeded to perform the surgery.

"Okay, let them come find me."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto Yakushi nodded repeatedly.

He then left the laboratory.

"Pat! Pat! Pat!!"

A moment later, three footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the laboratory.

"Lord Orochimaru, the person has been brought."

Kabuto's voice came from afar.

Just after he finished speaking, the two Akatsuki members who had followed him entered the laboratory.

The two were none other than Obito and Black Zetsu, who had come from Amegakure!

At this moment, the two of them saw Orochimaru studying the mysteries of the human body, and their eyes narrowed slightly, each lost in thought.

At that moment, Black Zetsu looked at Orochimaru and spoke first: "Orochimaru, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru stopped what he was doing, looked up at Black Zetsu, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehehe, it really has been a long time."

"I remember, the last time we met, your Akatsuki organization was hunting me down, right?"

"..." Black Zetsu's lips twitched slightly, his deep eyes flashed, and he answered with a forced smile.

"That's all in the past."

"People shouldn't always look to the past."

"We need to look forward and face the future."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru grinned and then got straight to the point.

"Speak, what do you want with me?"

After he finished speaking, Black Zetsu looked at Obito beside him.

The two exchanged a glance, and then Obito stepped forward.

He looked directly at Orochimaru in front of him, then extended his hand in a gesture of shaking hands.

"Hello, Orochimaru."

"My name is Afei."

"Tch, stop with the nonsense. Just say what you need to say. I'm very busy." Orochimaru ignored Obito's outstretched right hand, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"..." When Obito saw that the other party ignored his handshake, the corner of his mouth under the orange mask twitched violently, and his blood-red three-tomoe Sharingan flashed with a strong chill.

This is the first time he's been ignored since he turned to the dark side!

And he's a traitor to Akatsuki, yet Orochimaru ignores him!!!

At this moment, he was extremely displeased!

I even felt incredibly frustrated!

But when he thought about what had happened today, Obito could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence.

However, he had already firmly memorized this matter in his mental notebook.

If there's an opportunity in the future...

I'll get my revenge on Orochimaru properly!!!

Obito gave Orochimaru, who was grinning mockingly, a deep breath, and said, "Orochimaru, the reason I've come to you is to ask you to revive someone for me!!"

Upon hearing this, the air in the entire laboratory froze instantly.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly.

As for Kabuto, who was standing to the side, he habitually pushed up his glasses.

After exchanging a glance, Orochimaru grinned and asked with a smile, "Want me to revive someone? Well, I'm a little curious, who is it that you want to revive?"

Obito and Black Zetsu were not surprised that the other asked them this question.

Moreover, when they were secretly discussing resurrecting people, they never intended to hide anything.

Obito, his Sharingan hidden beneath his mask, stared directly at Orochimaru, his tone solemn as he replied in a deep voice, "You've heard of the person I want you to resurrect."

"Oh? I've heard of that before?" Orochimaru was slightly taken aback, his eyes lit up, and he instantly became interested.

He was quite curious: who exactly did A-Fei want him to resurrect?

Seeing Orochimaru's curious expression, Obito said with a serious look, "This person is none other than the strongest clan leader of the Uchiha clan!"

"His strength is comparable to that of Hashirama Senju, who is revered as the God of Shinobi throughout the entire ninja world!!!"

"Furthermore, he led the Uchiha clan in joining forces with Hashirama Senju's Senju clan to establish Konoha Village!!!"

"He once led the Uchiha clan to dominate the entire ninja world!!!"

"To become one of the most prestigious clans in the entire ninja world!"

"he is--"

"Uchiha Madara!!!"

Chapter 157: Researching the Method of Immortality?

　"Orochimaru! I need you to revive Madara Uchiha!"

The moment Obito uttered those words, the atmosphere in the laboratory seemed to freeze completely, as if it had been filled with glue.

Orochimaru and Kabuto both had their pupils shrink sharply, and they froze on the spot.

When they heard that Obito was going to revive the Uchiha clan, they all thought he would revive Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Kagami, or Uchiha Fugaku.

But to their astonishment, they were told that the Uchiha clan's patriarch, Madara Uchiha, was about to be resurrected!

Orochimaru and Kabuto quickly recovered from their shock.

At this moment, Orochimaru grinned and said, "Heh heh, resurrecting Uchiha Madara? You guys really have a lot of nerve."

"What? You don't dare to revive him?" Obito narrowed his eyes, staring directly at Orochimaru in front of him. His brows furrowed slightly beneath his mask, and his tone carried a hint of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru was taken aback.

I was actually looked down upon?

This made him smirk slightly.

However, he wasn't angry. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I dare not revive him? You're really overthinking it!"

"There's nothing in this world that Orochimaru wouldn't dare to do!!!"

In the end, Orochimaru wore an arrogant expression.

He then changed the subject, saying, "Resurrecting Uchiha Madara is no problem, but why should I help your Akatsuki organization resurrect him?"

Upon hearing this, Obito and Black Zetsu's expressions changed, and their gazes gradually turned cold.

They didn't expect to be rejected.

Obito stared coldly into Orochimaru with his deep eyes and asked, "From what you're saying... you want to make demands of my Akatsuki organization?"

“Not bad.” Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “It’s so easy talking to smart people.”

"Hmph, how about I use your life as a condition?" Obito sneered.

"Heh heh, threatening me? Orochimaru showed no fear whatsoever, as if he wasn't the one Obito was threatening, his tone filled with disdain."

"You Akatsuki have held me captive for so long, and I'm still alive and well, aren't I?"

"Would threatening me work?"

Immediately, he tilted his head and waved to the Yakushi Kabuto beside him.

"Dou, see the guest out."

After saying that, Orochimaru continued his human experiments.

Upon hearing this, Kabuto immediately nodded.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Immediately afterwards, he subconsciously pushed up his glasses, then walked up to Obito and said with a smile, "Please go back, both of you."

Upon being ordered to leave, Obito and Black Zetsu's faces instantly darkened, as if water could drip from them.
