I would like to announce that I released a new fiction titled My Life In The Multiverse, check it out and tell me what you think.

After the situation calmed down between Bakorio's team and Orochimaru's, they finally started discussing the real reason for the visit

"Orochimaru, I got some very interesting research regarding bloodlines. I'm pretty sure it could help you advance in whatever crazy goals you want to achieve" Said Bakorio with a smile while putting one leg over the other sitting in a relaxed manner…

"Oh, you really think you can offer me something I don't already know about?" said Orochimaru with an intrigued look, and Bakorio simply smiled mysteriously as he took out a copy of one of the pages of the incomplete bloodline research and handed it to him while saying "See for yourself"

"You are quite confident" said Orochimaru as he took the paper with a smug look on his face not expecting much, but the more he read, the more his expression crumbled and turned into a hideous twisted face as he greedily yelled "Where's the rest? Where did you get this research?"

Orochimaru's mind was racing with all kinds of ideas and theories but what bothered him the most was the fact that someone else was actually doing experiments similar to his, yet he never heard of them 'What the hell is this? Is this something done by the second Hokage? No, even he wouldn't stoop so low as to use humans for his experiments… who's it then?' Before he turned to look at the boy who held the answer to all these questions and was looking at him with a smug look on his face.

"Oh, what do you think? Is my confidence still unfounded?" said Bakorio with the same relaxed smile and Orochimaru finally calmed down and said with a serious look on his face "How much more research do you have regarding bloodlines?"

'Maybe this kid will help me master creating the perfect body…' thought Orochimaru in delight

'The fish took the hook' thought Bakorio before he raised three fingers in response to Orochimaru's question and the latter muttered with a disappointed look on his face "Only three huh? I guess this is logical for such high-level res-"

"What are you mumbling about, I have 30 pages…" Said Bakorio causing a sudden silence to fall on the room surprising even his comrades who begin to understand the importance of this research from Orochimaru's reactions…

"IMPOSSIBLE" Orochimaru stood up suddenly, but there was no anger in his eyes when he yelled this. Instead, His eyes were full of ecstasy and hope that Bakorio wasn't lying to him.

"Well, don't get too excited, what I want you to do is in no way easy" said Bakorio with a sigh that surprised Orochimaru so he calmed down again and put on his business face as he asked

"What do you want?"

Bakorio thought about it for a while before he responded "I want to train under you for a while, I know you are In the midst of researching and developing certain techniques to achieve immortality using Konoha's forbidden techniques as a base and I want you to teach me everything about them. Of course, you will also benefit greatly from this as you can see, I have a lot of information you can't put your hands on"

Orochimaru was surprised again by the in-depth knowledge this kid had of him and started to make him worried but Bakorio soon continued "It's fine to be worried, but believe me, I'm not the one you should be worried around" said Bakorio with a sigh as his face turned dark for an instant startling everyone in the room

'Who could worry you so much when you have two dangerous monsters protecting you?' Was the thought in Orochimaru's head but he didn't voice it out since he could see that even the boy's comrades didn't know what he was talking about.

"Oh, and stop with your stupid desire to take revenge on Konoha, you were stupid enough to let Danzo use you and influence you but he's already dead now…" Said Bakorio while thinking about the information he gathered and how Orochimaru was approached by Danzo after his parent's death and started spewing all kinds of bullshit about his darkness and whatnot, the same way he tried to do to Itachi and in this case. He actually succeeded and Orochimaru grew to be more twisted after that incident and decided to spend his life searching for a way to defy death… and he actually succeeded.

Although, Bakorio didn't know if by this point Orochimaru already developed his Living corpse possession and perfected his curse marks and if he learned how to control the impure world reincarnation…

"I can't promise you anything regarding that matter" said Orochimaru and Bakorio sensed a deep feeling of vengeance suddenly erupting from his heart that made his eyes flicker slightly but no one noticed it.

"We can discuss it later. And I have another request but we will discuss it when you master the research I'm going to give you" Said Bakorio to which Orochimaru nodded in agreement not minding leaving something for later as many things could change…

"By the way, what's the current situation with the Akatsuki?" asked Bakorio to which Orochimaru replied with a mocking look on his face as he said "You really expect me to betray my new friends?"

And Bakorio replied in a matter of fact saying "Yup"

"HAHHAHAHA, it seems you know me quite well… Right now, they are trying to build their reputation so most of the members are required to take mercenary missions to hunt for missing ninja or something similar. Of course, we are also tasked with recruiting people if we find them worthy, want to join?" Said Orochimaru with a smile not minding at all leaking the Akatsuki's information to his new partner

'This guy really is a snake, I should make more preparations in the future before I let him modify my body…' thought Bakorio completely ignoring his invitation before he replied "Did you ever meet the leader of the Akatsuki?"

"No, the members rarely meet… All I know is that he's related to the village hidden in the rain… and he's very dangerous do you know him?" said Orochimaru with a serious look on his face

'Oh, he actually didn't lie, is he trying to test my knowledge or is he trying to buy my trust by warning me? Damn, I hate smart people…' Thought Bakorio before he shrugged and said "Yea, I know a lot about him, maybe I will go give him a visit sometime in the future… want to tag along with me?"

Orochimaru's eyes widened in surprise a little bit before he smiled and said "Sure why not" to which Bakorio smiled faintly and Mukai and Kurama who were watching all of this silently shot each other a knowing look as they both thought 'Poor Orochimaru, your future is going to be very grim'

The next few days, Bakorio settled down on Orochimaru's base and he got to know Kimimaro better. Although, the latter was hard to approach at first since he still considered him as an outsider, but he soon opened up to him when Bakorio bribed him with some candy… Kids are still kids in the end...

'This kid is probably going to die in a few more years, and if he wasn't inflicted with such serious illness, that parasite Orochimaru would have certainly possessed him for his great talent and bloodline…' Thought Bakorio while looking at the white-haired kid in front of him…

"Let's go Bakorio, Orochimaru-sama has called for you to start your training" said Kimimaro and started leading the way…

"Finally…" Muttered Bakorio before he started following after him excited about all the things he was going to learn… and needed to learn to achieve his purpose…
