"..."
Has this guy still not given up?
Who knows if that bastard invested more money here, but Orochimaru—the same guy who skimps on wages—actually sounds confident now.
But honestly... working here holds zero appeal for him!
The director is still waiting for him!
Of course, Kabuto doesn't outright refuse. Instead, he smiles just as politely and says, "Let me think about it a little longer! Thank you, Orochimaru-sama!"
"Fine! What a clever guy! You've already learned to negotiate terms!" Orochimaru shrugs, still smiling. "Of course... if you have any other demands, feel free to bring them up! Rest assured, for talent like you, I'll do my best to accommodate!"
What's the most important thing in the Ninja World's new era?
Talent!
And this guy has indeed helped him a lot!
After a bit of half-hearted poaching, he and Kabuto resume their recent experiments.
He has to admit, the research project that guy handed him is no joke.
No wonder... the Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird Mark has remained unbroken since the Warring States Period. It definitely has its merits!
But as a genius, given enough time, Orochimaru is fully confident he can crack it!
"Your boss has some serious ambition!" Orochimaru sighs in admiration. "He actually wants to break the Caged Bird to control the Hyuga branch family!"
"..."

As Kabuto has some connection to that bastard, he has some idea of what the guy's real goal is.
It's definitely not this!
Of course... he doesn't bother explaining. Instead, he keeps analyzing the data in his hands.
Though, recalling how Orochimaru's various bases have been acting suspiciously lately, like they're preparing something big, Kabuto—after a moment of hesitation—said with a smile, "Recently, many bases seem to be preparing for something big? It seems you're hiding something from me!"
"Well, Kabuto, you haven't joined me yet~" Orochimaru replies with a sly, mysterious smile. "This is a secret of the base, after all~!"
What?
Do I have to tell you about the OEM for the Root Studio?
"Though, if you join us, I will never hide anything from you, Kabuto!"
Hearing this, Kabuto chuckles. "What an honor!"
"So, Kabuto, have you decided?"
"Let me think about it! How about you tell me the secret first? Maybe I'll agree right after?"
"So cunning! Kabuto! I really like you more and more!"
"It's my honor!"
While the two sinister guys were outmaneuvering each other, on the other side...
The White Zetsu Review Team continues its quest to find a boss!
...
This is the Land of Rain.
A country where it rains year-round.
"Rain Prison?"
"This place is a maze! Even worse than Konoha Prison, and that's the biggest ninja village! If we couldn't move underground, we'd be totally lost!"
"Is the next target here? Huh? What's that in your hand?"
"Oh~, just a flyer someone handed me on the way. Apparently, some [Yuto Amusement Park] is opening soon, so I got curious and took one. There's even a coupon—discount on tickets if you buy them during the opening!"
"Yuto Amusement Park? What's that? Damn! That bastard is really rich!"
"Enough! Stay focused! Remember our mission! Reviewer, who's the next target?"
At this, the Judge White Zetsus turn to the Reviewer White Zetsu holding the notebook. All the profiles of potential candidates are recorded in that little book!
"Sunagakure rogue ninja—Sasori! Also known as the genius puppeteer of Sunagakure. Even in his youth, he earned the title 'Sasori of the Red Sand'—proof of his talent!" The Reviewer White Zetsu slips back into work mode, adjusting his glasses with an air of impartiality. "According to our investigation, it was found that he was the one who poisoned the Third Kazekage. His skills are exceptional. After disappearing for years post-defection, he was captured by Uzumaki Nagato and has been imprisoned here ever since. Now, Sunagakure currently believes he's dead. This background fits our criteria perfectly! It can minimize unnecessary complications!"
"Ohhh? A missing ninja! That does fit our criteria. But after being locked up for so long, can he adjust to the outside world? And does he even have money?"
"He's a puppeteer! That's a marketable skill! Puppet masters and modification specialists in Sunagakure are making bank these days! And the years in prison? Isn't that even better?! He must be full of resentment—ripe with darkness! Once he realizes the Ninja World has abandoned him, he'll definitely want to change it!"
"But if he's so strong, why hasn't he escaped?"
"As for this..." The Reviewer White Zetsu flips a page and says with a serious expression. "Records show he's attempted multiple prison breaks over the years, but without fail... every single one failed! There's even a rumor that Rain Prison can become so solid thanks to his... contributions."
"???"
What does that mean?
He tried to escape but ended up helping reinforce the prison?
All the Judge White Zetsus stare in confusion, but even the Reviewer White Zetsu says he doesn't know—the information is just as baffling to him!
So, they drop the question for now.
"Does he even want to leave?"
"He should want to!" The Reviewer White Zetsu nods. "After all, he's planned so many escapes. Even if they all failed, he never gave up!"
"But right now, he looks..." One Judge White Zetsu hesitates, discreetly pointing at the red-haired young man sitting by the window, sipping tea and eating, completely at ease. "He seems pretty relaxed!"
"Probably just an act! How about we help him escape?" The Reviewer White Zetsu adjusts his glasses. "Even if this 'officially dead' guy doesn't end up as our boss, his hatred for the Land of Rain would still be useful for our plans!"
Black Zetsu is getting impatient~
After reviewing so many candidates, since this one fits so well—why not give it a shot?
But then...
"How do we help him? Grab him and dive underground together?"
One White Zetsu raises a hand. The others exchange glances before...
"Let's start by tossing him a note! Just try it and see!"
They decide to take the first step!
At this moment.
"He's standing up! He's standing up! Move quickly!"
Amidst the clamor, Sasori of the Red Sand also stands up. For some reason, he feels like someone is watching him today.
But...
Who could it be?
After all these years, he has grown accustomed to life here and has long given up on planning prison escapes again.
Think about it.
Here, he has food, a place to sleep, and the people inside are pleasant to talk to. As long as he does a little work, there's nothing else to worry about. Why bother escaping?
That's right.
After several failed escape attempts, he has begun to... face reality!
Besides, the prison has been renovated so much that even he barely recognizes it anymore.
How could he possibly escape?
It's impossible!
With a sigh, after eating and drinking his fill, Sasori prepares to go back and rest.
However.
Just then.
Suddenly.
"Plop! Roll, roll..."
A small paper ball stealthily rolls to his feet. Sasori blinks in surprise.
Who threw this?
But after a quick glance, there are too many people around, and he didn't pay special attention, so he doesn't know who threw it!
Curious, he crouches down, picks up the note, and unfolds it.
"?!"
Instantly.
He freezes.
Written on the note is...
[Tonight at 9 PM, on the east corridor, at 3 o'clock direction. I'll help you escape!]
"???"
Another prison escape plan?
Aren't you tired?!
...
Meanwhile.
Hidden in the shadows, the White Zetsu observing the scene nods in satisfaction upon seeing the target pick up the note.
Especially that stunned expression—clearly, he's considering the escape plan.
This... is surely a success!
After exchanging glances, they're about to prepare for the operation at 9 PM when—
Suddenly.
"Report! Someone's planning to escape the prison!"
A loud shout echoes.
The White Zetsu, who had thought everything was going smoothly, stare dumbfounded at the scene ahead...
The red-haired young man.
Sasori of the Red Sand of Sunagakure.
The reformer of the Land of Rain prison.
Without hesitation, he hands the note to the Land of Rain prison guards.
Then.
Satisfied, he walks back to his cell to rest.
"..."
The White Zetsus fall into silence before collectively turning to the Reviewer White Zetsu.
[Didn't you say he wanted to escape? Why did he report it without hesitation?]
However.
Reviewer White Zetsu: ...
[Don't ask me! I have no idea either!]
Had this guy gone crazy from being in prison too long?
