As night fell, Sasuke was still sitting in meditation beneath the Waterfall.
Even though Naruto, his training partner who was with him every day, had left the village to travel, Sasuke did not relax for even a moment because of this.
After finishing a day of physical strengthening training, he was now organizing the learning and understanding of the preliminary content of the Electromagnetic Cannon technique by his Shadow Clones throughout the day.
Even though he had been studying this content for almost two months, Sasuke still felt a huge headache looking at these advanced mathematics and physics concepts.
With Sasuke's personality, he didn't really like learning these things; he preferred to just charge ahead.
Compared to patiently studying, he would rather use his brain to defeat and kill powerful enemies.
Fortunately, according to Sasuke's estimation, with the help of many Shadow Clones, he would be able to systematically understand all of this content in at most half a year.
The rest would need to be slowly comprehended in practice.
Just as Sasuke was diligently studying, Orochimaru, standing in the shadows dozens of meters away from Sasuke, couldn't help but stick out his long tongue and lick his lips.
Looking at the young and vibrant Uchiha body sitting in meditation not far away, Orochimaru felt his emotions were somewhat feverish at this moment.
"Sasuke Uchiha? Itachi's younger brother, so young, and he already seems to have considerable strength."
He recalled the information he had learned from Danzo.
Knowing that this Uchiha orphan was training with Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, and usually had guidance from Kakashi, the elite Jonin in the village, and his classmate teammate Jiraiya.
Although Sasuke was still young, he already possessed considerable strength.
He didn't need additional training and could be directly used as an object for Orochimaru's reincarnation.
And now, Orochimaru had seen it with his own eyes; Danzo had not deceived him.
Originally, Orochimaru had planned to test the strength of his reserve vessel in the Chunin Exam arena, and then use power as bait to lure him to his side.
However, before the plan could even begin, some accidents occurred.
His favored Sasuke actually didn't participate in the Chunin Exam, which made Orochimaru lose many opportunities to probe.
Fortunately, Yakushi Kabuto, his trusted spy, had gathered enough information and clearly knew Sasuke Uchiha's usual habits.
Thus, at this moment, Orochimaru was able to accurately find Sasuke in this wilderness.
"It's just that the cost of collecting information is a bit expensive." Recalling the invoices that Yakushi Kabuto had brought back for reimbursement not long ago, even Orochimaru, who was never short of money, felt a twinge of pain.
Spending more than ten million taels on food and drink in two months was a luxurious life that even he had never enjoyed.
Most of his money was used for experiments and burned away.
"But fortunately, the final result is good."
Thinking like this, Orochimaru no longer concealed his aura.
Walking out of the shadows, he walked step by step towards Sasuke Uchiha, who was sitting under the Waterfall.
Sasuke, who was already a little irritable because of the math and physics content he was organizing, suddenly felt a powerful aura with malice appear without concealment, and his mentality instantly exploded.
Sasuke opened his eyes and looked at the person who came with displeasure.
He immediately saw a figure with pale skin, long black hair draped over his shoulders, jade ornaments hanging from his ears, wearing a kimono, and a wicked smile on his lips.
"Where did this idiot come from? He looks a bit familiar, but I don't think I've ever seen him before."
The moment Sasuke saw Orochimaru, this thought popped into his head.
Before he could say anything, Orochimaru on the opposite side spoke, his voice magnetic, carrying a strong aura of confidence: "Nice to meet you, Sasuke-kun, I am Orochimaru."
Sasuke frowned and said, "The legendary Three Ninja? The S-rank Rogue Ninja Orochimaru?"
This powerful and cold aura does match the legends.
"It seems Sasuke-kun has heard of my name, then the next thing will be easy to say, I am here this time to sincerely invite Sasuke-kun to join my command, I can give you more powerful power."
"I have also heard about your matter with Itachi-kun, to be honest, with your current strength, you are not his opponent, but if you can get my help, it will be different."
"Come on, come with me, it is not impossible to even help you get revenge."
Seeing Sasuke's expression moved, Orochimaru knew that the other party had heard of his name, so he could save a lot of words, so he did not hesitate to persuade him.
Coupled with the wanton publicity of the powerful aura on his body, it is definitely very attractive to ordinary ninjas.
If it were someone else, he would definitely bow down without hesitation.
Sasuke in the manga is also like this. He has witnessed Orochimaru's power with his own eyes, and learned that the other party has successively killed the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Hokage. Itachi gave him a hand of stupid younger brother to deepen his hatred.
Almost instantly, his mentality collapsed. He didn't even care about Naruto, his good friend, and went straight to the Hidden Sound Village, which led to the story of the crown prince chasing his wife for hundreds of episodes.
But Sasuke at this moment is in a completely different state.
Sasuke, who has been practicing with Naruto, has strong strength, and has opened the Mangekyo Sharingan at a young age.
If it weren't for being deeply influenced by Naruto's steady thinking, he should have been eager to find Itachi for revenge at this moment.
What's more, his friends and his industry are all here.
Under such circumstances, how could the confident Sasuke care about an Orochimaru.
Hearing Orochimaru's invitation, he immediately sneered and said: "Itachi, I will kill him myself, you mere Rogue Ninja, dare to be arrogant, Orochimaru? You little brat, I will kill you today, and scatter your ashes."
While speaking, he did not hesitate to form a seal, and opened his mouth to spray the Dragon Flame Song Technique.
The sky full of fire spread out, almost instantly covering Orochimaru's figure.
Last time, Sasuke wanted to take Zabuza as his first whetstone since his debut, but unfortunately the plan failed and Naruto stole his head.
And this time, facing Orochimaru, Naruto is not here and will not steal his head, which is a great opportunity.
As long as he can defeat, or even kill Orochimaru, the S-rank Rogue Ninja, then he, Sasuke Uchiha, can also prove his strength to this Ninja World, proving that Uchiha is still that famous family.
Moreover, the effect is many times stronger than Zabuza as a whetstone.
After all, Zabuza is just an elite Jonin.
But Orochimaru is already a shadow-level powerhouse who has been famous for many years, and is a first-class powerhouse recognized by the whole world.
"I've got your head!"
Sasuke's eyes were fiery, and his pupils naturally turned blood red, with three tomoe swirling within.
