Chapter 660: The White Serpent Pirates - Orochimaru! (III)
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes as he saw the Byakugan... Byakugans.
He had already been feeling extreme fascination regarding the Primordial Tower and Multiverse and the Powers one could obtain by just relying on Items, Skills, and Abilities.
At first, he had thought himself enslaved regardless of the nature of the Grimoire and how it gave sentience to a tale. But, after meeting the other Characters from the Book, greed for power had rekindled in his heart.
He had made his peace with his new identity.
No. That would be a false statement.
He actually loved it.
Orochimaru had one goal; a goal he had been pursuing all his life — Immortality!
The Legacy of Immortal Experiment wasn't about Orochimaru whose tale the Grimoire had devoured. It was about him, the Immortal. He had finally achieved it.
As long as Red remained alive, he would remain alive. It was just that simple.
So Orochimaru had been working on his new goal — Immortality! Keep Red alive. At all costs.
The Grimoire didn't need to instill any feeling of loyalty in Orochimaru when it came to Kai.
