Chapter 236: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 107

……

But as Li Ang returned to reality, his expression gradually turned cold; the extent of the Six Paths Sage's "filial piety" exceeded his expectations.

But that didn't mean he would slink away in shame.

Looking at the cold-faced Uchiha Sasuke before him, Li Ang slightly curled his lips.

"Young Master Sasuke, don't you want to know what really happened on the night of the clan's massacre?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke froze for a moment, then a flicker of urgency broke through his icy expression: "Do you know the truth?"

"Of course I do."

Uchiha Sasuke and Indra were entirely separate individuals; Li Ang didn't believe the former would truly obey the Six Paths Sage completely.

Besides, at this stage, the boy was still very young.

With this thought in mind, Li Ang immediately revealed to Uchiha Sasuke the truth behind the night of the massacre—including the roles played by Itachi, Obito, and Danzō.

And unlike Obito Uchiha's sanitized version, he told it exactly as it was.

As he listened, Uchiha Sasuke's expression grew colder, the fire of hatred in his eyes burning brighter.

Seeing this, Li Ang finally spoke his final words: "Come back with me to Kirigakure—I can guarantee that Uchiha Itachi will come for you."

At these words, Uchiha Sasuke fell silent for a long while, then finally uttered one word: "Fine."

After resolving Uchiha Sasuke's issue, Li Ang turned to Orochimaru, who had been watching the scene with amusement.

"Don't look at me, Long Jun," Orochimaru licked his long tongue against his lips. "Sasuke-kun is my partner now—I'm merely fulfilling a small wish of my partner."

"Heh."

Partner?

From Li Ang's understanding of Orochimaru, there was likely a large part of this arrangement driven by the fact that the Three Sages couldn't defeat Two-Colored, forcing him into cooperation.

Of course, he wouldn't say this now—he still needed the man before him to do something.

"Orochimaru, I have a piece of intelligence I think you'll find interesting," Li Ang said, curling his lips slightly. "There are other members of the Ōtsutsuki clan on this planet."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru first froze, then a glint of greed flashed in his eyes: "Then what does Long Jun want from me in return?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch; the Three Sages understood this well.

But the last time, the other had already taken much from him—Orochimaru doubted whether he could afford the price now.

Just as he was thinking this, Li Ang's voice came again: "Simple. I want you to perform the Dead Demon Consuming Seal's release, then summon the Fourth Hokage via Impure World Reincarnation."

After a long silence, Orochimaru slowly narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Long Jun knows me well."

"I've never told anyone about the Dead Demon Consuming Seal's release—but I must decline. I currently have no suitable body for reincarnation."

Li Ang's offer was indeed tempting, but Orochimaru still maintained basic rationality.

After all, if you're dead, you have nothing.

But Li Ang had raised this deal precisely because he had already prepared everything: "I've already prepared a body for you—you'll be satisfied with the new one."

As he spoke, he turned and walked back in the direction he had come from.

Heh, Six Paths old man, you probably never expected I'd openly steal your pawn right in front of you.

Looking at the silent Uchiha Sasuke beside him, Li Ang couldn't help but smile inwardly.
