<em>"That despicable snake is still dreaming of taking Sasuke''s body…"</em>
In the vastnds of Wano, the ninjas were enjoying their favorite anime, <em>Naruto Shippuden</em>. Episode 113 began with a detailed recap of everything Orochimaru had done to prepare Sasuke for this very moment.
<em>"All of this for a longer life… what a vile viin!"</em>
Raizo gripped the cup in his hand so tightly that it nearly broke.
<em>"A trivial punishment, you say? Haha! Hiruzen sacrificed himself to give you a solid p! Stripping you of the ability to use your arms again—something that was a part of your very soul—and you call it a trivial punishment?"</em>
Raizo mocked Orochimaru''s description of what Hiruzen had done to him as a "trivial punishment."
The battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru remained vivid in Raizo''s memory—and in the memories of all the ninjas in Wano—even to this day. That battle revealed the immense power level of the Hokage and disyed the might of the ninja world to the residents of the pirate world in its finest form.
The allure of ninja battles had already captivated every corner of this world!<em>"Oh! There''s Sasuke!"</em>
As Sasuke appeared in the dimly lit room, Raizo and the other ninjas breathed excitedly. The Sharingan… that divine eye. It was a power every ninja in this world wished to have.
Raizo and the other ninjas were no exception.
With that, the introduction ended, and the spectacr opening theme began, enthralling all listeners at that moment.
The long-awaited and highly anticipated anime had officially begun.
...
<em>"What an incredible disy of ninja techniques… Sasuke is so powerful."</em>
Oden stood on the balcony of the Shogun''s castle, able to clearly see the screen of the <em>Art Store</em>, which was broadcasting the current episode of <em>Naruto Shippuden</em>.
Beside him, a small child clung to his robe—his son, Momonosuke, who had only recently learned to walk and stand.
On the other side was his wife, Whitey Bay, whose expression was one of awe after witnessing the synchronization between Sasuke and his brother Itachi in the shbacks. Their coordinated movements were truly remarkable.
<em>"As expected of the genius brothers… The Uchiha n is incredibly terrifying. If Itachi hadn''t ughtered them, they might have taken over the entire ninja world."</em>
Whitey Baymented the tragic fate of the Uchiha n.
<em>"There''s a n simr to the Uchiha, or rather, a unique race in our world as well… the Lunarians. Coincidentally, they also manipte fire thanks to their racial abilities."</em>
<em>"They were a superior race that ruled the world in the past."</em>
Oden shared some long-forgotten history to educate his wife.
<em>"Lunarians? I''ve heard of that race. I wonder if they''vepletely gone extinct or if there are still a few left, like Itachi and Sasuke."</em>
<em>"Heh, who knows… In any case, the Uchiha are human, not a separate race. What sets them apart is their prestigious bloodline. Let''s see how Sasuke escapes Orochimaru''s grasp first… Otherwise, his revenge against his brother will never beplete."</em>
With that, Oden and his wife continued watching the episode.
<strong><em>...</em></strong>
<em>"Is he finally going to kill him?"</em>
<em>"He said he no longer needs to learn anything from him, so it''s clear he knows Orochimaru''s goal."</em>
<em>"Of course, he knows! Do you think Sasuke is stupid?"</em>
<em>"But how will he escape Orochimaru''s grand scheme? I wonder…"</em>
<em>"It seems the battle is about to begin. Without a doubt, the victor will take everything!"</em>
Aboard the <em>Moby Dick</em>, the Whitebeard Pirates were also enjoying thetest episode of <em>Naruto Shippuden</em>, drinking all kinds of wine and chatting cheerfully.
<em>"Gurarara! Truly, obtaining the Sharingan is tempting… but immortality is even more so. It''s clear Orochimaru''s ultimate goal is immortality, but this time he''s chosen a tough nut to crack."</em>
<em>"That boy Sasuke isn''t simple. He''s grown into a formidable challenge for you, Orochimaru."</em>
Whitebeard didn''t feel disgusted by Orochimaru''s ambitions or his methods. After all, he was a pirate and had no right to despise a strong man who had found his purpose in life.
To Whitebeard, Orochimaru was precisely that type of person—a man who had found his calling, just like himself.
He was also someone who sought a family. The difference between them was that Whitebeard had seeded in his pursuit, while Orochimaru had only partially seeded.
<em>"He''s definitely a model viin, Oyaji… Even among cold-blooded pirates, he''d rank at the top."</em>
<em>"Of course, Sasuke would never ept such a person as his mentor. Even if he appeared to ept him on the surface, deep down, he always felt disgusted by him."</em>
Marco said with annoyance, as he also disliked Orochimaru''s despicable personality and his tendency to treat people like tools. It reminded him of ckbeard.
<em>"Well, it seems things are getting more and more interesting."</em>
Whitebeard poured more sake into his mouth, wiping his lips as he watched Sasuke and Orochimaru''s exchange.

<em>"What you''ve done, pathetically trying to reach the power of the Uchiha by using drugs to surpass your body…"</em>
<em>"To me, it''sughable and disgusting for someone like you to want to im that name."</em>
Sasuke paused for a moment, scrutinizing the pitiful sight of Orochimaru before continuing:
<em>"And above all, I despise the way you treat people."</em>
Memories of Orochimaru''s cruel experiments on innocent humans shed through Sasuke''s mind.
<em>"Do you even have a goal?"</em>
<em>"You move from one hideout to another, carrying out your experiments."</em>
<em>"You manipte life after life to overturn the order of this world."</em>
Sasuke added more power to his long chakra de, which pierced Orochimaru''s arms as he struggled in pain.
<em>"You keep exploiting others for your pathetic and selfish reasons."</em>
Saying this, Sasuke remembered his brother Itachi, who was also a master maniptor.
<em>("Why, brother?")</em>
<em>("To test my abilities.")</em>Itachi answered indifferently.
<em>("To test your abilities…? Is that all? Is that why you killed everyone?")</em>
<em>("It was necessary.")</em>
...
<em>"You make me sick."</em>
With those words, Sasuke pulled out his de and attacked Orochimaru.
But in this life-or-death moment, Orochimaru revealed his true form.
<em>"A snake with white scales! Is this your true form?" </em>Sasuke smirked mockingly.
<em>"You''ve conducted experiment after experiment to move from one body to another, only to end up like this?"</em>
<em>"And now, Sasuke, give me your body!"</em>
[The battle began!]

On <em>Punk Hazard</em>, the World Government''s scientific base, Caesar Clown watched the live broadcast from Marijoa with excitement.
<em>"How can a pathetic brat like youprehend Orochimaru''s scientific achievements? Shirorororo!"</em>
At this moment, Caesar Clown mocked Sasuke, who had insulted a weakened Orochimaru.
Their mindsets were strikingly simr—both were mad scientists. Thus, Caesar Clown felt a strong affinity for Orochimaru, his favorite character in <em>Naruto</em>!
Just like Urahara and Mayuri from <em>Bleach</em>, or Kortopi from <em>Hunter x Hunter</em>, and Doctor Stylish from <em>Akame Ga Kill</em>, these unique characters reflected parts of Caesar''s own personality, and he admired them greatly. Especially Orochimaru, who aimed for immortality!
Not only that, but Orochimaru had achieved some astounding results in his pursuits.
<em>"Shirorororo! You don''t like his treatment of people, and that''s natural! But how else can he achieve his research without studying the human body? He even used his own body for experiments! That''s the resolve of a true scientist!"</em>
<em>"Just be obedient and give him your body, Sasuke. I bet he''ll avenge Itachi for you using your body! Shirorororo~"</em>
<em>"Oh, it seems the battle has started… but why did the episode end!? That was so quick! When''s the next episode!?"</em>
The mad scientist Caesar Clown, along with the rest of the <em>Naruto Shippuden</em>fans, had to wait for the next episode to find out what would happen and how Sasuke would end the saga of Orochimaru that had spanned two seasons so far.
