Chapter 263 Orochimaru's "Crossing"

There was a faint smell of medicine in Orochimaru's laboratory, and all around were various experimental equipment and specimens. The lights in the laboratory were dim, with only a few weak lights on the central laboratory table, casting a strange light and shadow.

Kabuto stood in front of the experimental table with a serious look on his face. He was reporting to Orochimaru about the battle between Nathan Hawke and Shennong. Orochimaru listened quietly, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something.

"Master Hawke's strength is indeed beyond imagination," Kabuto whispered, a hint of awe in his tone, "In the battle with Shennong, he showed amazing fighting skills and strength."

Kabuto tapped his fingers lightly on the lab table, as if he was organizing his thoughts. He continued, "At the beginning, Master Hawke did not use any special abilities, but instead engaged in a pure close combat with Shennong. Even in this situation, he still showed an overwhelming advantage, with extremely accurate defense and counterattack."

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that he not only relies on his powerful abilities, but also has amazing fighting skills."

Dou nodded and continued to report: "In the second half of the battle, Lord Hawke began to use abilities similar to lightning escape and repulsion. On the way back, I humbly asked Lord Hawke for advice. Lord Hawke told me that this was electrical energy and telekinesis. Lord Hawke combined the burst of electrical energy with telekinesis to bring his body speed and strength to a new level. Although Shennong used the power of Zero Tail and even opened the Eight Gates, he was still unable to match Lord Hawke's offensive."

At this point, Kabuto's expression became more serious, and his voice became a little deeper: "The power displayed by Lord Hawke is almost impossible for Shennong to resist. He uses a combination of electrical energy and telekinesis to make each of his attacks extremely destructive and fast. Under this attack, Shennong gradually lost the ability to resist and was eventually completely suppressed."

A hint of approval flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Very good, such power is enough for me to pay more attention to him."

Kabuto's fingers stopped on the lab table, he looked up, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Lord Orochimaru, what is Lord Hawke's goal? His power is so great, his purpose must be extraordinary."

Orochimaru smiled lightly, his eyes deep and unpredictable: "I am not yet completely sure of Nathan Hawke's goal. But what is certain is that he is pursuing a higher level of power and control. This may be an opportunity for us."

Dou nodded thoughtfully, his heart filled with expectations and doubts about the future.

Before the end of the one-month period in the Naruto world, Nathan Hawke had secretly set up an anchor point in the Sound Village as a connection point between the Naruto world and the Marvel world. Through this anchor point, he can travel back and forth between the two worlds at any time. It also laid the foundation for his cross-world plan.

Before leaving, Nathan Hawke decided to hold an important meeting in the Sound Village. He summoned the Sound Five, Kabuto, Orochimaru, Zabuza, Haku, and the injured Shennong wrapped in gauze. Doflamingo and Borsalino did not have to participate in this meeting.

In the conference room, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was serious. People sat down on both sides of the long conference table one after another, with different expressions on their faces.

The five Sound Ninjas had stern expressions and looked around vigilantly.

Kabuto stood beside Orochimaru, smiling, looking calm and composed. His eyes occasionally glanced at Nathan Hawke, and he was obviously interested in the power and purpose of this new "ally".

Orochimaru had a calm expression, with a sneer on his face. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about Nathan Hawke's future plans and how to get the most benefit from them.

Zabuza and Haku stood aside. Zabuza still had a gloomy and disdainful look on his face, but his eyes showed a little more respect. Haku had a calm face, gentle and firm eyes, and was full of trust and reliance on Nathan Hawke.

Finally, the injured Shennong sat at one end of the conference table, his body wrapped in gauze, looking a little weak. His eyes were full of reluctance and anger, but when facing Nathan Hawke, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Nathan Hawke walked slowly into the conference room, calmly glanced at everyone, and then sat down in the main seat. His expression was stern, his eyes were sharp, and he had an unquestionable majesty.

"We are gathering here today to clarify our future plans and direction of cooperation." Nathan Hawke's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the silent conference room.

Everyone nodded with serious expressions, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became more tense and solemn. Everyone understood that this meeting would determine their future fate and actions.

Nathan Hawke's eyes swept across everyone's face one by one, and finally stopped at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, you are the key person in this cooperation. I hope you can fully cooperate with our plan."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded, "Of course, Master Nathan Hawke. I will do my best to cooperate with your arrangements."

Nathan Hawke nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Kabuto and the Five Sound Ninjas: "Kabuto, you will be responsible for the daily management of the Sound Village and intelligence gathering. As for the Five Sound Ninjas, you will be responsible for training and enhancing the combat power of the Sound Ninjas."

Kabuto and the five Sound Ninjas (after looking at Orochimaru) nodded to show their understanding and obedience.

......

The lights in the conference room gradually dimmed, and after the others left, only Nathan Hawke and Orochimaru were left in the room. Orochimaru's eyes revealed strong interest and expectation, and he knew that the future plan that Nathan Hawke was about to tell him would definitely shock him.

Nathan Hawke stared at Orochimaru quietly, with a deep and calm look in his eyes. He knew that the following conversation would determine their future cooperative relationship.

Orochimaru leaned back in his chair and smiled slightly: "Nathan Hawke, I am very much looking forward to the plan you are about to tell me. Your actions and strength this time have opened my eyes. I am very curious about your real purpose."

Nathan Hawke nodded and spoke slowly: "Orochimaru, I admire a genius like you. Your wisdom and ambition make you stand out in this world. However, I want to tell you a secret, a secret about my true identity."

Orochimaru's smile faded slightly, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "Oh? Go on."

Nathan Hawke's voice was deep and powerful: "I come from another world. In fact, I can travel through multiple 'worlds'. I came to the Naruto world this time because I saw the power and potential here. And you, Orochimaru, I hope you can join me and become my important partner."

Naruto world!

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with shock. He knew Nathan Hawke was powerful and mysterious, but he could not find any information about him and his three men through intelligence. His intuition told him that what Nathan Hawke said was very likely true.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Traveling through the world? Your statement is indeed very interesting. However, if you want me to completely believe you, I need a more powerful evidence."

Nathan Hawke nodded to show his understanding: "You want to verify my words yourself and go to another world to see it for yourself. Only then can you be completely convinced."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with wisdom and cunning: "That's right. Only by seeing it with my own eyes can I be convinced. I don't want this to be a hoax of illusion."

Nathan Hawke smiled calmly: "Very good. We will start the journey soon. I will take you to a whole new world and let you witness my abilities with your own eyes."

Orochimaru's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement. He had never thought that there would be such an opportunity. And this opportunity might open a door to a wider field for him.

"I'm ready, Nathan Hawke." Orochimaru's voice was filled with excitement and determination, "Let me see your world."

......

Nathan Hawke, Borsalino and Doflamingo took Orochimaru back to the Umbrella Corporation. As soon as he stepped into the headquarters, Orochimaru was deeply attracted by the scenery in front of him.

The headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation is located in a modern skyscraper industrial park. It is surrounded by towering buildings and busy streets. The building is equipped with the most advanced technology inside and outside. The streamlined design and high-tech materials show the power and efficiency here. The transparent glass walls let in natural light, making the whole building bright and spacious. Orochimaru has never seen such advanced facilities before, and his eyes are full of irrepressible curiosity and surprise.

"Welcome to Umbrella Corporation," Nathan Hawke said, with a hint of pride and satisfaction in his voice. He turned to a holographic image floating in the air and said, "Intelligent Brain, notify clerk Xiu Magia Beta to come here."

The holographic image of the intelligent computer emitted a soft blue light, and the voice was calm and clear: "Understood, Boss. Beta is on the way."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with surprise. He stared at the holographic image of the intelligent computer and couldn't help but whisper to himself: "This is actually... a holographic image? It's so realistic and intelligent."

Soon, a Shumagia clerk named Beta came to them in uniform. Beta's appearance was extremely realistic, no different from a human, but Orochimaru's keen perception allowed him to quickly realize that this was not a living human.

Beta smiled and said respectfully, "Boss, welcome you, Doflamingo-sama, and Borsalino-sama to Umbrella Corporation. I'm Beta, and I'll be responsible for showing you around."

Doflamingo nodded, snorted, and left.

Borsalino waved his hand and said to Nathan Hawke and Orochimaru: "I'm going to have tea, so I won't keep you company." After that, he used the ability of the Pikachu Fruit's beam to "go off work."

Nathan Hawke looked at Orochimaru, whose expression changed slightly at this moment.

"This... this isn't a human?" Orochimaru was shocked, his expression slightly changed. He had never seen such advanced bionic technology, and his curiosity and desire to explore were aroused to the extreme.

Nathan Hawke saw Orochimaru's surprise and smiled slightly: "This is the latest research and development of our company, called Xiu Magia. Beta is a highly intelligent robot that can complete various complex tasks."

Orochimaru took a deep breath and calmed down his inner shock: "This is incredible technology. Your world is indeed very different from ours."

Beta gestured politely: "Please follow me, I will show you the entire Umbrella Corporation's facilities."

Orochimaru nodded and followed Beta forward. With wisdom shining in his eyes, he silently pondered the principles and possible applications behind these advanced technologies. He knew that this time travel not only allowed him to see a whole new world, but also opened up countless new possibilities and opportunities for him.

Nathan Hawke followed behind them, with a hint of satisfaction and deep thought in his eyes. He knew that Orochimaru's heart had begun to lean towards him.
