Chapter 260:
Orochimaru's movements were unhurried, and his tone matched the same casual demeanor.
But beneath his words lay an undeniable sense of authority.
It didn't matter the reason or the consequences. If he said no, it simply wasn't going to happen and that applied to anyone who might try to argue otherwise.
Hearing his declaration, Aburame Ryoma and Aoi couldn't help but frown.
The Orochimaru before them seemed entirely foreign.
What did he mean by saying that Konoha's fate had nothing to do with him?
What could have possibly happened to make one of Konoha's legendary Sannin say such a thing?
Meanwhile, the older woman and bespectacled man standing nearby looked at Orochimaru with a mixture of surprise and disbelief. Wasn't Orochimaru still part of Konoha?
How could he speak to someone like Danzo with such confidence and disdain?
