Naruto: Talent Analyst-Chapter 125: Orochimaru and Sasori’s Trump Cards

Kabuto blankly looked behind him.

Why did someone thank him for leading the way?

He didn't even know that someone had been following him.

However, the moment Kabuto saw Yuta, his expression changed drastically.

He immediately recognized the man that had trailed behind him—Uchiha Yuta!

The one who had single-handedly defeated the forces of Kumoakure and Iwagakure!

And now, he had unknowingly led Yuta right to them?

Orochimaru and Sasori must be cursing him right now.

He looked towards Orochimaru and Sasori and sure enough both Orochimaru and Sasori were staring at him with murderous eyes.

"This has nothing to do with me!"

Kabuto defended himself.

All he had done was summon a small snake to eavesdrop near the Hokage building.

After gathering enough information, he had made his way here.

As for how Yuta had followed him?

How was he supposed to know?!

"Long time no see, Orochimaru."

Yuta approached them without any rush, his demeanor completely relaxed.

Now that these two were right in front of him, where could they possibly escape?

Previously, he had planned to track down the Akatsuki after the war to deal with Itachi.

However, since the Akatsuki was still operating covertly within the Land of Rain, finding their base had been a hassle.

But now?

He had a much easier solution.

If he wanted information about the Akatsuki, what better way was there than to extract it from Orochimaru and Sasori?

Meanwhile, Orochimaru internally cursed Kabuto but didn't dare to act recklessly.

"It has been a long time indeed." He admitted with a tone of both nostalgia and disbelief.

"To think that the eight year old boy from back then would rise to fame so quickly."

Orochimaru's words were genuine.

A few years ago, Yuta, at just eight years old, had barely held him off for a minute using the Eight Inner Gates.

But now, this same boy had grown powerful enough to annihilate an entire army of thousands.

In contrast, his own strength had stagnated.

The difference between them had completely reversed!

"I didn't expect your strength to remain at the same level." Yuta said with a shake of his head.

Hearing this, Orochimaru's face instantly darkened.

Even if it was true, was there really a need to say it out loud?

What about his dignity?!

Sasori said in a low voice, "Yuta, what exactly do you want?"

"If you're here for revenge against Orochimaru, or if you want to capture him, you can do so. That has nothing to do with me. I won't interfere."

He made his stance clear. He had no intention of meddling in this grudge between Yuta and Orochimaru.

If possible, he wanted to avoid fighting Yuta entirely.

Not only was Yuta monstrously strong, but this place was also dangerously close to Konoha.

If the battle dragged on, and Konoha's forces arrived, escape would become impossible.

Ditching Orochimaru was the smarter choice.

It's not like he had any particular fondness for him anyway.

Yuta glanced at the black cloak with red clouds that they were wearing.

Yuta calmly said, "Itachi has joined the Akatsuki, hasn't he? I need information on Itachi and Akatsuki."

Sasori tensed slightly.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, was less surprised.

He already knew Yuta had an interest in the Rinnegan, which was linked to the Akatsuki's leader.

And it was only natural for him to have known about Itachi's involvement with the Akatsuki.

However, what surprised Orochimaru was that Yuta had figured out Itachi's whereabouts so quickly.

Still, he relaxed a little. At least, it seemed like Yuta wasn't specifically here for him.

"I suppose I can't hide it from you." Orochimaru admitted with a smirk.

"Itachi has indeed joined the Akatsuki, but I don't know all the details."

"Orochimaru!" Sasori said in a displeased voice.

"How dare you leak the Akatsuki's information?!"

Orochimaru chuckled and felt unbothered.

Sasori likely held some loyalty to Akatsuki.

But Orochimaru?

He had joined the Akatsuki solely out of interest in the Rinnegan.

Now that his pursuit of the Rinnegan had failed, his next target was Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan.

He had just been waiting for the right opportunity to confront Itachi alone.

Yuta nodded and said, "I need the location of the Akatsuki's base."

Orochimaru's expression shifted slightly before he smiled.

He curiously said, "That's quite valuable information. What do you intend to trade for it?"

If Yuta went to the Akatsuki's base and faced Pain, what would happen?

When Orochimaru had first encountered Pain, he had been utterly crushed by that strange repulsive force.

Yuta's strength was undoubtedly formidable, but Orochimaru didn't know how he would compare to Pain.

"Trade?"

Yuta's lips curled into a smirk and he said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm going to torture you both."

In an instant, Orochimaru and Sasori's eyes turned ice-cold.

Torture?

Did he think he had already won?

Just because they didn't want to fight near Konoha didn't mean they were ready to surrender.

"Heh! Seems we'll have to fight today after all." Orochimaru said with some malice in his eyes.

Being stopped by an eight year old Yuta years ago had been a humiliation.

Now, he finally had a chance to redeem himself.

His own strength hadn't increased much in the past few years, but he had acquired new techniques over the years.

Orochimaru bit his finger and swiftly made a series of hand seals.

"Summoning Technique!"

Boom!

Three coffins rose from the ground with a cloud of white smoke.

Each of the coffins was engraved with the characters First, Second, and Third respectively.

"This will be the first time I'm using this in real combat." Orochimaru mused.

"And when it comes to fighting against the Mangekyō Sharingan, these two have plenty of experience."

Licking his lips in anticipation, Orochimaru watched as the coffins creaked open.

Three figures emerged from them.

A black-haired man in red armor: First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

A white-haired man in blue armor: Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

And finally, a withered old man: Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Meanwhile, Sasori wasn't idle either.

With a flick of his wrist, he unfurled a scroll and released one of his trump cards.

The Third Kazekage puppet!
