Immediately, Orochimaru threw out two ninja scrolls.
Lexon caught them casually.
He unrolled them and skimmed through them briefly and concisely.
All the steps, details, and precautions for "Living Corpse Reincarnation" and "Impure World Reincarnation" were written clearly.
He closed them and threw them into his space ring.
He planned to read them later.
There was no rush now.
"Good job, Orochimaru," Lexon smiled and praised.
Orochimaru was not happy at all about Lexon's praise. His snake-like vertical pupils stared straight at Lexon as he asked, "Can you release 'Kotoamatsukami' now?"
"I can." Lexon took another leisurely sip of coffee and nodded.
"However... there is one more thing I want you to do..."
Orochimaru's face became somewhat gloomy, and his voice became even hoarser. "You promised me."
"Don't worry, one thing is one thing," Lexon said flatly.
His eyes transformed into the Mangekyo Sharingan in an instant. Pupil power radiated out and injected into Orochimaru's consciousness, instantly breaking the binding set by his "Kotoamatsukami".
As the caster, it was not difficult to release the restraint of "Kotoamatsukami" on others.
"I don't intend to agree to your matter." Orochimaru felt that the control of "Kotoamatsukami" had been lifted, so he spoke a bit more toughly and refused directly.
"No need to be in such a hurry to refuse," Lexon said, wagging his finger. "The matter I'm referring to is the transaction requirement I mentioned to you before."
"Take you to Ryuchi Cave? And then you give me a Mangekyo Sharingan?" Orochimaru asked in confusion.
"Correct," Lexon nodded in response.
"But didn't you already know the location of Ryuchi Cave?" Orochimaru frowned slightly and said.
Lexon changed his posture on the reclining chair, shifting to a more comfortable sitting position, and said lazily, "It's always good to have a guide."
Is that the reason?...
Hearing Lexon's explanation, Orochimaru's frown deepened, and he hesitated in his heart.
Emotionally, he wanted to get away from this troublesome person in front of him as soon as possible, because he had absolutely no ability to control things in front of him and could not predict the trend and direction of development.
But rationally, he wanted to agree to the other party's request because the Mangekyo Sharingan was simply too tempting... He had been craving it for a long time...
"The reason you didn't want to agree to my request before was that you didn't believe I would fulfill my promise, but isn't there a good example right in front of you now?" Lexon spoke slowly. "Facts have proven that I will still keep my promises."
Lexon's words shattered Orochimaru's hesitation and suspicion, making his wavering heart firm.
"I still refuse," Orochimaru answered.
"Then I'll give you another 'Kotoamatsukami'," Lexon replied with a smile.
"Actually, I think we can still discuss this..." Cold sweat faintly seeped from Orochimaru's forehead.
"Discuss what?" Lexon's smile appeared very approachable.
"I agree." Orochimaru's hoarse voice in response seemed unusually firm.
"Then let's go now." Orochimaru was vigorous and wanted to act immediately; he didn't want to drag it out and cause complications.
"We'll go tomorrow." Lexon directly rejected Orochimaru's suggestion. He sat leisurely on the reclining chair, continuing to look at the bright and dazzling night sky, appreciating the beauty of nature.
Since Lexon had stated his thoughts, it was hard for Orochimaru to refute him.
Who let the other party occupy the position of absolute superiority in their status...
However, because he was a missing-nin of the Hidden Leaf, Orochimaru naturally did not have a place to live in the Hidden Leaf. To avoid the trouble of having to find Lexon again tomorrow, Orochimaru said to Lexon, "Then I'll just stay here tonight..."
"Go out and find a place to live yourself."
Orochimaru's words were cut off by Lexon's very "kind" words before he could finish.
"..."
Without saying any more nonsense, Orochimaru left Lexon's room very consciously and found a random abandoned room in this apartment building to stay in.
...
The next day, Lexon slept until he woke up naturally.
After waking up and washing, he heard a knock on the door outside.
He opened the door.
It wasn't the familiar bowl cut and green tights, but Orochimaru's extremely sinister and soft face.
"Ready?" Orochimaru asked.
"Ready," Lexon responded.
"Then let's go."
"Wait a moment." As Lexon spoke, he walked to Naruto's room, knocked, and went in.
It wasn't until late afternoon that Lexon walked out.
He didn't know how long he would be gone this time, so Lexon applied a patch to Naruto in advance.
This was to prevent him from frantically asking Sarutobi Hiruzen about his whereabouts because he was worried, like last time.
As for why it took so long...
Isn't it normal for friends to happily play some fun and interesting games before parting ways...
Lexon thought so.
But Orochimaru clearly didn't think so.
He looked at Lexon approaching him, his face full of black lines.
This is the 'moment' you mentioned?
If I wasn't afraid of your 'Kotoamatsukami' and didn't want that Mangekyo Sharingan, I would have slipped away long ago...
Orochimaru slandered in his heart.
"Let's go," Lexon said to Orochimaru.
You finally remembered to leave.
Orochimaru looked at him coldly, then said, "Follow me."
Immediately, his figure flashed.
Lexon didn't hesitate and instantly caught up with Orochimaru's pace.
Orochimaru's speed was much faster than Kakuzu's.
The slippery snake was indeed a slippery snake; to increase his speed, everything below his neck really turned into a snake.
The speed of his slithering was ridiculously fast...
It was just that the smell and mucus left on the road made Lexon feel a bit nauseous.
Although Orochimaru's speed was fast, Lexon kept up with his speed effortlessly, leaping unhurriedly above him, his face full of relaxed expressions, and he even had the mood to watch the beautiful scenery along the way.
The slippery snake slithering with all his might below couldn't help but be secretly alarmed seeing Lexon's ease.
This man, Uchiha Lexon... it seems he doesn't just rely on that pair of Mangekyo Sharingan...
Unknowingly, Orochimaru had a new estimation of Lexon's strength.
Originally, he thought Uchiha Lexon's strength relied basically on the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the only thing that made him fearful was the pupil technique "Kotoamatsukami".
But now, a small detail in traveling could reflect a lot, making Orochimaru feel that he was terribly wrong.
He re-judged Lexon's strength based on this.
Because the two traveled very fast, under Orochimaru's leadership, they soon leaped into the deep mountains and dense forests. After several turns, they arrived in front of the extremely hidden cave of Ryuchi Cave.
Lexon checked the Ryuchi Cave address Orochimaru had written for him.
Correct.
It matched perfectly.
It seemed Orochimaru really didn't deceive him by giving a fake location or leading him to a fake location.
