Under Orochimaru's lead, everyone walked through a dim passage and arrived at a room that looked very much like an office. This was Orochimaru's usual resting room.
When everyone was inside, Orochimaru spoke, "Alright, can you now tell me where you're from and what your purpose is?"
"My name is Zero. We are from the True Mechanical Technology Empire, or you can call it the Mechanical Empire. The current Empire was built on the foundation of the former Land of Waves. We gathered information on you and found that you are very suitable to be our partner."
Orochimaru extended his tongue and licked his lips, looking at Zero with a sinister smile. "If I'm not mistaken, the Land of Waves is just a small island nation. When did it become a Mechanical Empire?"
"One month ago, the Land of Waves was officially renamed the Mechanical Empire."
"Alright, alright, I'll assume you're from the Mechanical Empire, but what kind of cooperation can your Mechanical Empire have with me?"
Orochimaru didn't believe the Land of Waves had such strong people, nor did he believe this Mechanical Empire was the Land of Waves. He just thought this Mechanical Empire wasn't telling the truth, using the Land of Waves as a cover, not wanting to reveal their true identity.
"The Master ordered cooperation with you. Although I don't think it's necessary, the Master ordered it, so I am here to cooperate with you."
"May I ask who your Master is?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, smiling.
"The Master is the supreme Emperor of the Mechanical Empire, you can also call him His Majesty. I've generally explained our situation, let's talk about our cooperation."
Orochimaru heard these words, frowned, then looked up and smiled, "So what do you need?"
"Specific intelligence on the five great nations, Leaf Village's ninjutsu, forbidden scrolls, and a scroll to locate Ryuchi Cave."
Orochimaru listened to the information Zero requested, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. The intelligence on the five great nations, Leaf Village's ninjutsu, and the scroll to locate Ryuchi Cave could all be given to this person in front of him.
But the forbidden scrolls were a big deal. The forbidden scrolls in the Leaf Village were heavily guarded, and they contained many forbidden jutsu created by the Second Hokage. He wasn't even sure if he could steal the forbidden scrolls himself, let alone give them away. Even if he could steal them, Orochimaru wouldn't hand them over.
"I can give you the intelligence on the five great nations, Leaf Village's ninjutsu, and the scroll to locate Ryuchi Cave, but the forbidden scrolls are impossible. They are in the Leaf Village, it's impossible to steal them."
Orochimaru said to Zero with a serious expression. In Orochimaru's view, the Mechanical Empire was coveting the forbidden jutsu created by the Second Hokage.
"That's fine too, we don't need the forbidden scrolls."
Orochimaru was stunned when he heard Zero's words, not expecting Zero to give up so quickly. But then he thought, Right, it was probably just a test, not a definite demand. After all, if they could get it, it wouldn't be a loss.
"I'm providing so much, what can you provide me?"
After his surprise, Orochimaru immediately wanted to see what kind of leverage Zero could offer. After all, he also wanted to see what kind of reward this person, who claimed to be from the Mechanical Empire, could give.
"Knowledge, vast amounts of knowledge, knowledge you've never had access to before."
Orochimaru frowned when he heard Zero's offer. As one of the Sannin, and having spent half his life researching, he was very confident in his knowledge. But Zero's words, "knowledge you've never had access to before," what did that mean? Unable to figure it out, he said to Zero, "What do you mean by 'knowledge I've never had access to before'?"
"It means knowledge you've never encountered before, and without us, you won't encounter it in the future either."
Orochimaru heard Zero's words and, without further ado, said, "If you can provide the knowledge I want, then this deal can be completed."
"Alright, then our deal is successful."
Zero finished speaking to Orochimaru, then took out a small black square crystal block from a small bag behind her and handed it to Orochimaru. She said to Orochimaru, "This is our communicator. Tap it, and instructions for the communicator will appear. The data is also inside. If you need any help in the future, you can contact us."
Looking at the small black crystal brick in front of him, Orochimaru tapped it, saw the various instructions displayed, and without further ado, stood up, went to the back, and picked up a stack of documents, a thick book, and the Ryuchi Cave location scroll.
"This stack of documents contains specific information on the five great nations. Anyone with some strength will be recorded there. This book contains most of the records of Lightning, Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind ninjutsu. This scroll is the Ryuchi Cave location scroll."
"Alright, our cooperation has been pleasant this time. I hope for future cooperation, Lord Orochimaru."
Zero said, then collected the documents on the table. After Zero had gathered all the documents, she walked out of the office. Just as she was about to step out the door, Zero suddenly turned back and said to Orochimaru with a smile, "We'll have a big operation in a month. Will Lord Orochimaru be joining us?"
Hearing Zero's question, Orochimaru also looked up at the smiling Zero and said, "May I ask who the target is?"
"Takigakure in the Land of Waterfalls, and the Tailed Beast."
Orochimaru heard Zero's answer and was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
"That's quite a big move! Are you confident? The five great nations won't let you easily occupy the Land of Waterfalls, let alone its Tailed Beast. The five great nations might demand the Tailed Beast from you after you occupy the Land of Waterfalls."
"Since we're making a move, we are confident. We're not destroying the Land of Waterfalls. The five great nations won't help the Land of Waterfalls, and the Tailed Beast still belongs to Takigakure."
Zero said with a confident expression. For Zero, the set goal had been achieved. Next was to complete the second goal, occupying Takigakure and the Tailed Beast was the second goal, so she naturally had to carefully consider the consequences.
Looking at the confident Zero, Orochimaru heard her words and thought of another organization, the Akatsuki. As a traitor to the Akatsuki, Orochimaru was still very wary of the man with the Rinnegan who called himself a god.
Upon hearing that Zero's target was a Tailed Beast, Orochimaru instantly thought of a plan: pit the Mechanical Empire against the Akatsuki. Then the Akatsuki wouldn't have time to look for him for a while. As a former member of the Akatsuki, Orochimaru knew that the Akatsuki's goal was also Tailed Beasts. This was a perfect opportunity to let them fight each other while he watched from the sidelines.
"Alright, you notify me when the time comes."
Hearing Orochimaru's reply, Zero nodded and walked out, taking the documents and robot soldiers back to the Land of Fire's capital.
...
After Zero arrived at the Land of Fire's capital, she only had about 100 robot soldiers left behind her. The other 900 special forces were gradually sent by Zero to various countries to find agents and gather intelligence. As for the remaining 100, they went through the Free Trade Company to the Land of Fire and the Leaf Village to gather information. After all, as the strongest force in this world, it was only natural to take them seriously.
At this time, on the other side.
Orochimaru was opening his communicator. It was called a communicator, but it was actually similar to a projector, just smaller and suitable for personal use.
When Orochimaru opened the knowledge left in the communicator, he looked at the screen in shock: Gene Medicine Technology, Energy Transmission Technology, Psionic Medicine Technology, WTS-Mechanical Mining Soldier Technology...
