Chapter 36

Minato took it and nodded. After taking it, he did not open it immediately, but put it into the bag on his back!

Seeing there was nothing else, the Third Hokage signaled that everyone could withdraw!

After exiting the Hokage Building, Orochimaru and Minato walked side by side. As they walked, they chatted.

"I really didn't expect that we would have a day where we could get along so peacefully! Minato," Orochimaru said lightly.

"Life is always full of wonders, isn't it! May I ask if you have anything to be busy with next? Mr. Orochimaru," Minato replied with a smile.

"Not for the moment. I need to wait for your, Kushina's, and Kurama's chakra before I can go study Naruto's memory. Before that, I don't have anything else to be busy with."

"That's great! May I ask if you can go to a place with me?" Minato said with some excitement!

"Are you asking to see Obito or Kabuto?" Orochimaru asked in his usual somewhat cold voice!

"It's Obito. Because he used the Mangekyo Sharingan excessively, he is currently recuperating at home. According to what Kabuto said, he needs to transplant the First Hokage's cells to solve this problem. I think you should be carrying the First Hokage's cells with you now, right?"

Minato thought for a moment and said! "That's really a pity. I wanted to take this opportunity to have a good meeting with Kabuto! It's been a long time since I've seen what he looked like when he was a child! I do miss it a bit!"

Orochimaru did not answer Minato's question directly, but said this instead!

Hearing this sentence, Minato breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Orochimaru was already carrying the First Hokage's cells!

The two chatted like this, one sentence after another, walking toward Obito's house.

About half an hour later, they arrived at Obito's house. After knocking and entering, they discovered that Obito was already able to walk on the ground normally, and besides Obito, Yakushi Kabuto was also here!

Seeing Minato and Orochimaru enter, Yakushi Kabuto and Uchiha Obito's expressions were very normal. Kabuto stood up, bowed to them, and just wanted to speak when Orochimaru smiled and said first:

"I didn't expect that we would meet in this way!"

Obito did not speak, while Yakushi Kabuto on the side took over the conversation and said:

"Long time no see, Lord Orochimaru. You just returned to Konoha today, right!"

Orochimaru replied in his unique somewhat hoarse voice:

"Yes, just arrived today. It really has been a long time. The last time I saw you was in the future. I didn't expect that this meeting would already be back in the present! Yakushi Nonou, she is still doing well now, right!"

"Thanks to you, everything is still fine!" Yakushi Kabuto replied!

"Then you must protect her well. Danzo will not easily let her go."

Hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto did not speak again, only his expression became somewhat deep.

"Hehe, Orochimaru, it's been a long time since we've seen each other too, right!" At this time, seeing Yakushi Kabuto's expression was not very good, Obito took over the conversation and said!

"Yo, isn't this the man who incited the Fourth Shinobi World War, the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization, who calls himself Uchiha Madara! How did you become a child? Your complexion doesn't look very good either!"

Orochimaru looked at Obito and said with some ill intent!

"Heh! You're still the same as before!" Obito said with a cold snort!

Orochimaru had joined the Akatsuki for a period of time in the memory world, but at that time he went for Uchiha Itachi's eyes. Although the time was not very long, he and Obito could be considered acquaintances.

"No, I have changed, it's just that you can't see it. If I hadn't changed, you wouldn't be able to see me here in Konoha right now! But relatively speaking, the one who has changed the most should be you, Obito."

"Or perhaps in your eyes I have changed, but in my own view, it's nothing more than finding the self I once lost," Obito said, looking up at the ceiling!

"Is that so! Then I really must congratulate you!"

Seeing their conversation was somewhat tit-for-tat, Minato could only walk out somewhat awkwardly and say:

"Let's talk about the reminiscing later! Can I please ask Mr. Orochimaru to take a look at Obito first!"

"Hasn't Kabuto already looked at him! For his situation, he just needs to transplant the First Hokage's cells. When will you be free to go to my laboratory with me to transplant the cells!" Orochimaru said the first half of this sentence to Minato, and the second half to Obito!

Orochimaru had studied the Uchiha for many years; whatever problems appeared on the Uchiha, he could basically see them directly!

"Anytime is fine. Where is your laboratory? Do you need me to take you there?" Obito looked at Orochimaru and said!

"Trusting me so much? Aren't you afraid I'll take this opportunity to take your Sharingan?" Orochimaru said with some surprise!

"Then will you?" Obito asked back!

"I think probably not, at least not now. But greed is something that sometimes makes people go crazy easily, so don't trust me too much! Because even I can't say for sure when I'll go crazy."

Obito did not reply to Orochimaru immediately, but looked at him quietly, and only then replied: "You said one thing very correctly, Orochimaru!"

"Oh? Which sentence is that?" Orochimaru looked at Obito with some surprise!

"You've changed. The previous you might have used any means to achieve your research, but the current you at least retains a bottom line! So I trust you."

"Oh? Is that so? These changes are all thanks to someone! If I have the chance, I really must thank him properly!" Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips, saying!

"Yeah! We all have to thank that person properly!" Obito agreed with some emotion!

"Then you tidy up and come with us! I have time during this period!" Orochimaru thought for a moment and said!

"That's fine! I have no objections!" After Obito tidied up simply, he followed Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Minato out.

"Where is the laboratory you spoke of? Mr. Orochimaru," Minato asked with some curiosity!

"It's right inside Konoha. I built quite a few laboratories here for research before! But most of them were destroyed by the Third! However, there are some that were preserved."

Minato nodded and did not ask further. After walking for less than 20 minutes, they arrived in a forest. Orochimaru found the switch, opened the entrance leading underground, and the four of them walked in. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
