Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 90 Trading
"Okay, I admit that I was wrong before, Menma-kun, I was rude. What do you want to discuss? Or what deal do you want to make with me? You can tell me now."

Orochimaru exhaled lightly, retracted his Kusanagi sword, looked at Menma in the distance, and spoke in his usual hoarse voice.

The world of ninja is so simple, the strong prey on the weak and the winner is the king.

If Menma didn't have the power to match or even threaten Orochimaru.

There is absolutely no way Orochimaru would sit down and have a conversation like this.

Menma himself is aware of this.

To be honest, Menma had already intended to stop. Orochimaru didn't want to be besieged by the Hidden Leaf Village. Did he want to be discovered by the people of the Hidden Leaf Village in advance?

That's definitely looking for death, and just now when the fourth tail erupted, Menma could already feel the burning sensation coming from the skin all around his body.

This is a kind of erosion of one's body by the Nine-Tails Chakra.

It is something that cannot be reversed at this stage.

This is also a process that every Chuuriki must go through, allowing his body to slowly adapt to the chakra of the tailed beast and eventually achieve perfect fusion.

"Haha, I knew Orochimaru-san was a sensible person."

Menma also smiled lightly, looking at Orochimaru who had completely restrained his murderous intent and returned to his previous deep attitude, and he continued to lie with his eyes open.

"Hehe, tell me, Menma-kun, what exactly is your intention? You exposed my identity and even used the Nine-Tails' chakra. What do you want to get from me?"

At this moment, Orochimaru's slightly narrow snake eyes were staring at Menma and he spoke in a low voice.

"No, no, no, Orochimaru-san misunderstood. It's not that I want to gain something from you, but we need to make a deal that is mutually beneficial, Orochimaru-san."

Menma smiled slightly and said in a firm tone.

"Wow? Then I'm all ears."

Orochimaru said it nonchalantly, saying that he recognized Menma's power only because of the existence of the Nine-Tails.

But Menma is only 12 years old. Orochimaru doesn't think that Menma at this age can bring him anything. What's more, what can a mere kid know about what he is pursuing?
"My intention is very simple. I plan to leave this village in the near future and join Orochimaru-san. Of course, I don't want to become your subordinate, but I hope to cooperate with you. I hope Orochimaru-san can provide me with a temporary place to stay. Then I also hope to obtain some specialized research content and material support from Orochimaru-san, such as cells and some secret techniques. This is my need."

"Is that really the case? Interesting, Menma-kun. Leaving this village? Haha, if my teacher knew this, he might go crazy. But, Menma-kun, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, how are you going to leave the village? Oh, do you need my help? I'd be happy to help."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said with a weird smile.

"Haha, you don't need to worry about this, Orochimaru-san. I have my own way to leave the village. And Orochimaru-san's return this time should not be just for reminiscing about the past, right? So, it depends on whether Orochimaru-san is willing to take in a defector like me."

Of course, Menma would not be so stupid as to directly expose the plan between Orochimaru and the Sand Village here. It would be difficult to explain the source of his information and would be more likely to arouse unnecessary suspicion from Orochimaru.

After all, he was here just to reach a preliminary agreement with Orochimaru. As for what happened later, how could he take the words of two people who had no trust in each other seriously? Everything had to be solved by improvisation and mutual bargaining.

The same effect can be achieved here through some reasonable speculation.

It was obvious that Orochimaru's eyes narrowed when he heard Menma's words, and the dangerous cold light that was faintly revealed was restrained by Orochimaru himself after only a second.

"It seems that Menma-kun has really made a lot of preparations in the past 12 years. These conditions, of course, I have no problem with them, but there is no free lunch in this world, so why should I offer these conditions to you, Menma-kun, I can't see the deal that is a win-win for both of us at all now."

Orochimaru said in a calm tone.

"Don't worry, Orochimaru-san. I believe my conditions will impress Orochimaru-san. The first condition is me, the most orthodox bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, and the Nine-Tails in my body. Are you not interested in me at all? I believe that it will be helpful for some of Orochimaru-san's research, right?"

Menma pointed at himself and said meaningfully.

"You are very brave, using yourself as a condition."

Orochimaru was stunned at first, then he looked at Menma with an interested look and said.

Orochimaru would not be surprised that Menma knew some of his research. At most he got it from Konoha. As for the means, seeing Menma's current strength, Orochimaru did not think it was impossible.

Of course, even if you kill Orochimaru, he will never know that all this is the benefit of being a "time traveler".

"Haha, I always think I'm very brave, and I'm willing to make any exchange just to leave this evil village. Isn't that the case with Orochimaru-san?"

Menma chuckled and said meaningfully.

"Very good, I agree to this condition, or should I say that even if this is the only condition, I will accept the deal you proposed. However, you seem to have something else prepared, eh, Menma-kun?"

"Of course. To be more precise, the second condition is what I carefully prepared for you, Orochimaru-san. It is the relationship between the Sharingan and the Samsara Eye. I think you will be very interested in it, Orochimaru-san. Otherwise, you would not have come all the way back to the village and played such a ninja game with Sasuke-kun."

Menma leaned forward slightly as he spoke each word.

This time, Orochimaru was shocked by Menma again, and his sudden change in expression was the best proof of this.

"What!?"

Orochimaru looked at Menma with a very sharp look. The shock and suspicion revealed in his snake eyes were so clear and so strong.

"Menma-kun, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know what I'm talking about, Orochimaru-san. You don't need to doubt me. Indeed, in your opinion, how could a mere 12-year-old kid like me know anything? But don't forget, there is a creature that has lived for thousands of years in my body. And your partner is not a simple person, is he, Orochimaru-san?"

Menma said with a small smile.
