Near the Land of Hot Water's western border
Two mbers of the "Company" had arrived at a hidden facility within a forest. Making their way to a lab, a long figure greeted the pair
"Welco. You're just in ti"
"Humph! Ya finished it yet?"
"Mountain, don't be juvenile. We just delivered the stolen Two-tails chakra yesterday"
"And? Do I look like I care?" (Mountain)
"Sigh. While I wouldn't put it so bluntly, I would like to know how long this process will take..."
He turned away from Mountain and faced the only other person present
"...Orochimaru"
"Not to worry Three. I'm about to complete the first 'Lift'. " (Orochimaru)
"Ohhh! So soon?!" (Three)
"How?" (Mountain)
"The concept itself is sothing I dabbled in a bit during my last years at Konohagakure. I simply picked up where I left off, and with actual Tailed Beast chakra in my hands, I can now perform more practical tests" (Orochimaru)
"Hah! Excellent!" (Three)
Although his face was hidden behind a mask, it was obvious from his tone Three was ecstatic to hear such news. The "Company's" investnt had indeed not gone to waste
"Great, you didn't go bankrupt old man" (Mountain)
"Mountain..." (Three)
"What? These are the results we should expect for giving this snake our protection" (Mountain)
"For which, I'm eternally grateful" (Orochimaru)
"I would hope so, Konoha still hasn't given up on hunting you down. Without decent protection, I doubt you'll last long on your own" (Mountain)
"That's quite enough Mountain! Geez, why are you always so eager to make enemies?" (Three)
"Whatever. I'll leave the rest to you" (Mountain)
Mountain turned around and began to leave
"Orochimaru! I want this done as soon as possible! I trust this task shouldn't be too difficult for one of Konohagakure's Legendary Sanin" (Mountain)
"Of course" (Orochimaru)
"Apologies for his manners. Young ones these days have no respect whatsoever. While the "Company" needs this done quickly, we'd rather make sure it's done right. Feel free to move at your own pace" (Three)
"Thank you" (Orochimaru)
"I am curious as to whether or not you have a ti table" (Three)
"If everything goes as planned without interruptions, I believe the span of one year should be enough to complete the Lift" (Orochimaru)
"I see..." (Three)
Three stayed quiet after getting Orochimaru's response. The latter raised his eyebrow, wondering if this answer was unsatisfactory for his employers
"Is that too long?" (Orochimaru)
"No, it's more than acceptable. It just ans we're going to be making so changes...but nothing you need to worry over" (Three)
"Very well...also...about MY partner" (Orochimaru)
"As long as you complete the project, your partner will get what we promised him" (Three)
"All the more reason for
get to work" (Orochimaru)
"A fine attitude. I'll leave you to it, our organization will ensure no one finds or disturbs you. Farewell" (Three)
Three left Orochimaru to himself. Finally alone, he smiled to himself as he worked
{Hehe, to think such a wealthy group could be suckered by Danzo and I so easily. I can't believe they're providing such resources to a rogue criminal like myself} (Orochimaru)
In truth, he had already completed the "Company's" request. "But why give them what they want so soon when I can delay and use their resources for MY experints
