Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future

The next morning.

Orochimaru arrived at the original Konoha experimental headquarters, which was previously built underground next to the orphanage.

This place had been abandoned for a while, but now the new Hokage needed it.

Of course, it was quickly restarted, and quickly cleaned and ready for use.

Today, Gaara, the Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village who was initially healed in the hospital, had also been moved here.

As a Jinchūriki prisoner who could do whatever he wanted at this stage, Orochimaru naturally wanted to come and personally entertain him.

Soon, he saw Gaara in a room deep inside the laboratory.

Gaara's injuries had basically healed, but full recovery would definitely require a long rest. However, he was not bound by anything at the moment.

There were no chains or other restrictions on him, he was just confined to this room. However, the flask containing the sand was taken from him.

Moreover, there were several elite ANBU guards outside the room.

Although Gaara's strength was good at this stage, he was clearly not as good as elite Jonin without using Shukaku's power.

Besides, his flask was gone and the veins in his hands and feet hadn't healed yet.

It was impossible to escape alone.

He knew this well himself, so he was willing to stay here.

"Good morning, Gaara."

"Orochimaru!"

Gaara looked at Orochimaru gloomily, murderous intent emanating from his eyes.

"It seems you are in good shape! Is the Bijuu inside you so peaceful these days?"

Orochimaru could see Gaara's state at a glance. The striking dark circles under his eyes had disappeared, indicating that Gaara had been resting well lately.

Gaara was stunned.

He had indeed been resting well these past few days, or he had been sleeping soundly as usual.

Previously, due to the Sealing Technique and environmental reasons, Gaara couldn't sleep soundly, fearing that Shukaku would take the opportunity to take over his consciousness and lose himself.

Ordinary people would easily get angry if they couldn't sleep well for a whole day, let alone not being able to sleep for a long time. This also caused Gaara's mental state to become very bad and more extreme.

But ever since he was defeated by the mysterious Konoha ANBU ninja last time, Gaara found that he had an additional seal on his body.

This was dozens of times more stable than Sunagakure's Sealing Technique and was enough to completely suppress the overflow and erosion of Shukaku's power.

He no longer had to worry about Shukaku eroding his consciousness.

Thanks to this, Gaara could finally sleep peacefully.

He slept until he was full every day for the past four days.

As a result, his mental state improved significantly, and he became more rational and calm.

"Are you so afraid of the monster inside me that you don't hesitate to implant this level of Sealing Technique on me?"

Gaara said coldly, not liking Orochimaru at all.

"Seal?"

Orochimaru stepped forward, examining Gaara's body, and soon found the familiar Four Symbol Seal.

Two layers of Four Symbol Seal were superimposed into one, and it was one of the strongest sealing techniques that was difficult and powerful enough to trap the Kyuubi.

"So it's the Four Symbol Seal, and it's indeed that person!"

Orochimaru licked his lips hard, a strange light appearing in his eyes.

"That person? The ANBU ninja who defeated me? You're really hiding someone so strong, who can even defeat that monster."

Gaara shook his head sadly, remembering the frightening yellow-haired ninja.

If he lost, he lost.

Facing a Konoha ninja who could release a ball of that size and blast Shukaku with one attack, Gaara was sure he would lose.

He wasn't a coward.

"Yes! There are only a handful of people in the entire ninja world who can defeat that person."

Orochimaru meant something, but he was also telling the truth.

He was very aware of Minato's strength. That person was a genius who only appeared in Konoha once in a few decades.

And Gaara didn't expect Orochimaru to tell him the identity of the ANBU ninja. Didn't the other party wear a mask just to hide their identity, so how could he tell him so easily?

"What do you want to do here?"

"Can't I come and see the precious Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village? I'm asking for a ransom of one billion ryo from Sunagakure Village and let them redeem you!"

Gaara raised his eyebrow with great disdain.

"One billion? Huh! My father, the Fourth Kazekage, would never agree."

The reward for ordinary Jinchuuriki outside was only tens of millions. How could the poor Sunagakure Village pay one billion to redeem himself?

Moreover, it was his father who wanted to kill him.

"Whether it's worth it or not is one thing, whether they are willing to pay is another."

"Oh! One more thing, your father is dead. He was killed by me."

Orochimaru deliberately gave a stimulus, not intending to hide it from Gaara.

Gaara was shocked after hearing this, but then calmed down.

He had no feelings for his father, Rasa. He was a monster who madly sent people to kill his own son.

If he wasn't worried about Temari and Kankuro, he would have killed Rasa himself!

"Whether he's dead or not is none of my business."

"Oh, you're so cruel! It seems the information is correct, you two are a 'loving father and filial son'!"

"Stop talking nonsense, where are Temari and Kankuro? Did you kill them?"

"Of course not. Good hostages must keep threatening you. If you don't cooperate, you can only ask for them to die."

Gaara looked at Orochimaru again with sharp eyes.

'This bastard is so despicable! But, I have to admit that I am indeed caught at the weak point.'

He still had feelings for his siblings.

If possible, he definitely didn't want Temari and Kankuro to die because of this.

"What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? Of course, I hope you can cooperate with my research and have the Bijuu's power in your body!"

"Impossible, I will never surrender to you!"

Gaara became excited. He had been tortured by Shukaku all his life, so he naturally knew the terror of the Bijuu's power.

He mustn't let Konoha control him!

He absolutely didn't want to be played with and studied by Orochimaru.

"Are you unwilling to cooperate?"

"If the experimental subject can actively cooperate, the progress of the research will naturally increase significantly, and I usually don't like to force others."

"How about making a deal. As long as you cooperate, I don't mind using Impure World Reincarnation so you can see your mother and uncle again!"

Gaara was suddenly shocked and his whole body began to tremble.

He looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked at him with a smile, like a charming devil's voice playing with human hearts.

He knew it was evil, but Gaara couldn't help but want to agree.

This person is so evil!

However, he couldn't resist it!
