Chapter 159: Orochimaru: I Don’t Need to Force Myself
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.
