After negotiating with Chizuru, the remaining problem was how to deal with Orochimaru.
As the supreme commander of the front line, he would not be able to leave the camp to find Sasori without Orochimaru's permission.
However, because Asahi worked under Orochimaru and was highly regarded by Orochimaru, for such a trivial request, he believed that Orochimaru would definitely agree.
But what excuse should be used to convince Orochimaru, he still needed to plan carefully.
The information Asahi received was that Sasori had recently appeared near the Land of Tools. Sasori was a puppet master and had betrayed Sunagakure. If he wanted to obtain a large amount of raw materials for puppets, it was indeed very possible for him to appear in the Land of Tools.
If he wanted to go to the Land of Tools, he could not use the excuse of "going out to look for medicinal materials". This would not only arouse Orochimaru's suspicion, but also make Orochimaru unhappy.
Moreover, Asahi was not sure whether Orochimaru knew that he was looking for Sasori's traces.
In order to find Sasori, Asahi asked many ninjas to help. Some of these people might leak the news. And Orochimaru was the commander of the camp, so it's very easy to know something about this.
Asahi thought carefully as he walked towards Orochimaru's camp. After asking for permission to enter, Asahi walked into Orochimaru's camp.
"Orochimaru-sama!" Asahi said respectfully.
"Asahi-kun, what's the matter?" Orochimaru glanced at Asahi and said calmly.
"I want to go out and do something, and I hope Orochimaru-sama can agree." Asahi said.
"Oh? What do you want to do?" There was a hint of curiosity in Orochimaru's hoarse voice.
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Asahi was a little moved in his heart. Having followed Orochimaru for more than a year, and having read the original Naruto, Asahi knew Orochimaru's character very well. Orochimaru would never be interested in anything other than ninjutsu.
"I'm going to find Sasori of the Red Sand." Asahi said truthfully.
Speaking of pretending, Asahi had been living with a mask since he came to this world. After nearly ten years of experience, Asahi was very sensitive to other people's attitudes and tone. Especially when facing Orochimaru, Asahi has always been very cautious.
Hearing curiosity from Orochimaru's tone, Asahi immediately felt that something was wrong. He immediately did not dare to deceive Orochimaru anymore and told the truth.
Anyway, looking for Sasori was not a big deal. At most others would be curious about was why Asahi is looking for Sasori.
"What are you looking for him for?" Orochimaru continued to ask.
"It's a private matter of mine. I hope Orochimaru-sama will allow it." He bowed and said.
"Okay." Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a hint of gloom in his hoarse voice, "But I hope you can give Chizuru's pair of Sharingan to me as a gift when you come back."
'Damn it, Orochimaru has indeed known for a long time that I am going to find Sasori. He even knows about my cooperation with Chizuru.' Asahi cursed in his heart when he heard this.
But if you think about it carefully, in order to ensure his own safety, Asahi deliberately let many people see it when he left the camp with Chizuru, so it should not be surprising that Orochimaru speculated about this.
Thinking of this, Asahi breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but have the idea of nurturing a few close followers. If the search for Sasori was left to close associates, the chances of it being exposed would have been much smaller.
Today was just a trivial matter, but if some important secrets were leaked in the future, it would be a big deal.
"Orochimaru-sama, Chizuru has the strength of an Elite-Jonin, and also has the three-tomoe Sharingan. With my strength, I am afraid that I am not capable of killing him." Asahi said.
"After he fights Sasori, you should have a chance as long as you take action." Orochimaru said gloomily, "I believe you will find a way."
"Yes." Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Asahi could only agree.
"Tomorrow I will assign tasks to you two respectively. You go and agree with him at the meeting place." Orochimaru said.
"I understand."
After leaving Orochimaru's camp, Asahi secretly made a calculation in his heart. Once Sasori's matter was settled, the village would definitely reward Asahi with something. At that time, Asahi could take the opportunity to ask the Third Hokage that he wants to learn the [Flying Thunder God].
Since the last time when he and Minato went to the Land of Wind to perform a mission, Minato had always had a good attitude towards Asahi, so after obtaining the [Flying Thunder God] technique, Asahi could go to Minato for advice. Considering Minato's gentle character, he believed that he would not refuse.
As long as he learned the [Flying Thunder God] technique, Asahi would have more confidence when facing Orochimaru.
As his strength grows, Asahi's position would become clearer and clearer. Asahi and Orochimaru could not be on the same side. Apart from the Hashirama Cells and summoning contract, Asahi now does not expect any good things that he could get from Orochimaru.
His breaking up with Orochimaru was a matter of time, but until he acquired enough strength to be able to deal with Orochimaru, Asahi could only keep a low profile.
"How is it?" Chizuru asked as he walked up to Asahi.
"Orochimaru-sama agreed. Tomorrow he will assign us tasks respectively. However, this task will not be important. Then we will meet ten miles south of the camp, where there is a meatball shop." Asahi said.
"Orochimaru-sama really agreed?" Chizuru still found it hard to believe that Asahi was actually able to convince Orochimaru, and it was within just a few minutes.
Looking at the eleven-year-old Asahi in front of him, Chizuru couldn't help but shudder. The more he came into contact with him, the more Chizuru felt that this boy was somewhat mysterious and scary.
Although this idea was very absurd, there was probably no one other than Asahi who could win over both Tsunade and Orochimaru and even make Tsunade take him as her disciple.
"Yes." Asahi nodded and said, "I will remember my promise. As long as you can force out Sasori's full strength and take me to evacuate safely, I will tell you the eye-opening secrets of Mangekyou Sharingan."
"Humph!" Putting away his shocked mind, Chizuru snorted, and turned around to leave.
For Chizuru, no matter how powerful Asahi's calculations were, he was still a weakling that he could be killed at will.
