Orochimaru had lived for over fifty years. In terms of mory capacity alone, he had already surpassed Naruto.
His cloning technique couldn't possibly have any pre-set 'mory editing' function.
So his mories were no different from the original's.
But unfortunately, every powerful figure on the seas who possessed formidable Conqueror's Haki had a sense of 'self' and self-affirmation far beyond ordinary people.
Conqueror's Haki, to put it a bit idealistically, is essentially using the 'self' to overwrite the will of others.
Therefore, in terms of willpower, Orochimaru's mories couldn't influence Naruto.
'Agakure, huh?'
Naruto not only learned the location of the Akatsuki's base but also gained so information about the mastermind behind it.
'Pain? And that so-called Uchiha Madara...'
If Naruto had foolishly gone ahead with the trade, he probably would have continued to be manipulated by that old snake using this information as bait.
Thankfully, he had a handy life hack that didn't require paying any price.
Things like turning the tables on swindlers weren't new to Naruto.
Accessing the mories was much faster than imagined.
From Naruto's perspective, it was as if he had been born with those mories, and he just needed to deliberately 'recall' them to rember.
The earlier impact was just like when an amnesiac recovers… it was simply because too many images flooded his consciousness in a short ti, causing a 'overload'.
Viewing the Ninja World from Orochimaru's perspective, Naruto also discovered many details he hadn't noticed before.
The relationship between major nations and small nations, Ninjas and civilians, as well as the Daimyos and Ninjas.
'The Ninja World truly needed to change.'
These mories gave Naruto plenty of inspiration.
Orochimaru had hidden away quite a few good things.
Aside from those secrets, there was also a lot of classified information about Ninjutsu, and even data about [Sages].
'Sage Mode, huh? So that so-called Cursed Seal is a failed product of this thing?'
"Are… are you alright?"
Seeing that Naruto seed to still be deep in thought, Pudding, who was nearby, spoke up cautiously, expressing her concern.
This interrupted Naruto's train of thought, but it didn't matter, as there would be plenty of ti later to slowly savor those mories.
His gaze t Pudding's, who looked as timid as a fawn, and he gave the young girl a warm smile.
"It's fine, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing that the cooperation was settled, Big Mom signaled Brulee nearby to take Pudding back.
"You can go back now, Pudding. There's nothing more for you here."
"Yes, Mama!"
Pudding nodded toward Naruto and then walked toward her sister Brulee, who opened a Mirror World's portal.
Before leaving, she took one last glance at Naruto's back.
She couldn't help but feel that she had missed an opportunity to be saved.
At this ti, Pudding didn't even have the most basic independent will and couldn't imagine what her life would be like separated from her family.
No one needed a 'monster' like her, and no one would be willing to accept her.
Then, she rembered the small, bold act she had perford under her mother's watchful eyes… the mory she had 'modified'.
She had inserted a tiny fragnt of her own mory into it.
'Naruto-sama, if you could see it-'
"Wait, don't go just yet."
Suddenly, looking at the still-breathing but mory-wiped 'vegetative snake' body on the ground, an idea inexplicably popped into Naruto's head.
He turned to look at Big Mom and blurted out, seemingly out of nowhere:
"Big Mom, do you want a new husband?"
"Kid? What are you talking about?"
Big Mom put down the food in her hand and looked at Naruto with displeasure.
Everyone in the New World knew that she, Big Mom, was famous for having many husbands. Was there any race of n she hadn't slept with?
'Did this brat really think I would take any man?'
"Don't be in a hurry. Take a look at this first."
As he spoke, Naruto placed his hand on Orochimaru's body and then perford a series of hand seals remove the disguise according to the thod in the mory.
Then, the previously youth-like body, which resembled a fusion of [Hidan Orochimaru], quickly began to show signs of snaketification.
Scales appeared on his cheeks, arms, and sides, and two fangs protruded slightly from the corners of his mouth.
The outlines of his face also shifted sowhat toward that of a snake, though he still largely resembled a human.
This was the true form this body should have had after undergoing modifications and completely rging with that white snake.
"So, what do you think? A Snake-Man Tribe. Probably the only one like him on the entire sea."
Like he was introducing so premium product, Naruto lifted the body and brought it closer to Big Mom for her to inspect carefully.
One of Big Mom's dreams was to establish a [Totto Land] that accommodated all the races of the world. (T/N: The Kanji used for Totto Land ans all countries/nations.)
Therefore, since her youth, she had continuously sought out n from various races to marry and have children with.
After giving birth, she would discard the original husband and wouldn't consider races she'd already had children with.
So far, aside from the Giants and the Lunarians, she had basically succeeded with all of them.
And this so-called [Snake-Man Tribe]...
Big Mom did indeed have a husband from the [Snake Neck Tribe], with whom she bore the daughter [Demon Lady] Charlotte Amande.
The characteristic of this tribe was an extrely long and thin neck, but compared to this so-called Snake-Man, they actually resembled ordinary humans more.
At least they didn't have scales.
Big Mom didn't expect there was actually a race in the world that she, the Big Mom, didn't know about.
This imdiately captured Big Mom's attention, and even her original idea of forming a marriage alliance with Naruto was tossed to the back of her mind.
Naruto waved over Pudding, who was standing to the side.
"Pudding, I'll need to trouble you to implant so mories into him."
"Originally, this guy was a villain who committed every evil imaginable. Since he has no mories now, it's a perfect chance to turn him into a genuine 'good person'."
"I'm sure you wouldn't like a scher running around your territory, would you, Big Mom?"
Naruto's final words were directed at Big Mom, but she currently couldn't care less about such minor details and casually issued an order to Pudding.
"Do as he says, Pudding."
Hearing both Naruto and Big Mom say this, Pudding herself had no objections.
From the mories she had seen earlier, calling this guy a villain was almost a complint.
As Pudding activated her ability,
Soon, a new set of mories was fabricated and implanted into the body.
After the mory implantation was complete, the eyelids of the body on the table twitched, then opened.
Those snake-like pupils scanned the three people in front of it, finally stopping on Big Mom.
"...Linlin?
To be honest, watching Orochimaru use that low, hoarse voice to call out BIGMOM's na gave Naruto an unreal feeling.
He had just said it offhandedly with the idea of making use of waste.
But who would have thought... who would have thought…
And Big Mom seed quite satisfied with this 'new husband'.
Speaking of which... Snakes should be very flexible animals, right?
