Chapter 313 - 310 : Cooperation Begins!!
"Haha. With you being this sincere, it’d be unreasonable for me to refuse, wouldn’t it?"
Orochimaru laughed openly, his tone calm and straightforward. He seemed to be thinking about the future.
"From today on, we’re partners."
The two of them exchanged a smile, saying everything without needing more words.
"But... during our cooperation, you’re not allowed to experiment on other people. Especially not innocent ones. No Reanimation Jutsu on them."
Genya looked directly at Orochimaru, reminding him once again.
He wasn’t some bleeding-heart saint, but there was no need to drag innocent people into this.
Of course, if Orochimaru wanted to use someone from the Sarutobi clan as a sacrifice, that wasn’t his concern.
The Sarutobi clan had become the main beneficiaries ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen became Hokage. They were arrogant, overbearing, and completely lawless.
During his time in the Konoha Police Force, Genya had seen firsthand how the Sarutobi clan’s younger generation acted — proud, arrogant, and especially dismissive toward the Uchiha.
On the surface, the Hyuga were said to be the strongest clan in Konoha. But in reality, the Sarutobi clan now held that position.
Especially since they had formed an alliance with the Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane clans — these four clans now controlled most of Konoha’s power.
