Chapter 322:
"As a child?"
Obito was stunned for a moment before quickly recalling that his blood had indeed been drawn once by the Uchiha clan leader when he was a child.
But what does that have to do with his identity?
Orochimaru, unbothered by Obito's confusion, immediately launched into his own fabricated reasoning.
He claimed to have conducted research on the blood sample and found that Obito's power was quite special, somewhat different from the rest of the Uchiha clan. Because of this, Orochimaru said he had paid particular attention to Obito during his research. When they met before, Orochimaru had sensed a familiar aura emanating from Obito, which led him to guess his identity.
This explanation, however, was a complete lie.
A lie so convincing that even Orochimaru nearly believed it himself.
What was the connection between Obito and Orochimaru in Konoha?
Answer: there was none.
