Saving Uchiha, Starts by Flipping The Table

"That's right."

Yan pulled out a sealing scroll, waved it, and smiled:

"So? Interested?"

"....."

Obito's other Sharingan is in your hands!!

How did you get that?

Wait.

Orochimaru seemed to realize something!

His breathing began to quicken.

After joining the Akatsuki, Orochimaru's biggest interest had been studying Nagato's Rinnegan.

Aside from that, he was also interested in Obito's Sharingan, especially since Kamui was such an overpowered ability.

He had been coveting it for a long time, and now it was in Yan's hands.

"So, what's the price I have to pay?"

Orochimaru's face was practically screaming, "I want it." Neither of them were good people, so there was no need to hide anything.

If you want it, just say it. No need to beat around the bush. 

"Start writing your self-reflection." 

Yan put away the scroll and reminded Orochimaru: 

"You've done a lot of things that hurt the village's interests, and many of them have damaged your reputation. So, write a proper self-reflection, make yourself sound more pitiful. That way, Tsunade can explain things to the villagers more easily." 

"?????" 

Write a self-reflection? 

What the hell? 

Are you messing with me, Uchiha Yan? 

Orochimaru thought he was hearing things, like he was under some kind of illusion. 

A self-reflection... 

Are you kidding me? 

Seeing Orochimaru staring blankly, Yan waved his finger and said: 

"You don't really think, after I've said all this to you, that I'm just going to let you roam free, do you? 

Coming back to Konohagakure with me is your only option. If you refuse, I'll make you agree." 

Either you cooperate, or I force you. Your choice. 

"..." 

Watching Yan actually pull out a scroll and a pen, clearly waiting for him to write, Orochimaru felt his scalp tingle. 

If it was writing about Ninjutsu, he was great at it. But writing a self-reflection... 

Has he ever done that before? 

"I'll write..." 

Noticing that Yan had already activated his Sharingan, the three tomoe spinning and on the verge of evolving into Mangekyou, Orochimaru swallowed his pride, took the scroll and pen, and started writing. 

"Good, cooperate and write it properly. Don't disappoint me. No rush, we've got plenty of time." 

Yan propped his feet up on the lab table, waiting for Orochimaru to finish his self-reflection. 

Once it's done, they can go back to Konohagakure. 

He imagined Tsunade's reaction when she received Orochimaru's self-reflection—her expression would definitely be priceless. 

And if Jiraiya found out... 

That guy would probably laugh like a pig. 

Orochimaru was reluctant, but he had no choice. Besides, he was interested in Obito's Sharingan. Studying it wouldn't be a bad deal. 

After thinking for a while, he started writing. 

It took him over an hour to finish. 

"Let me see..." 

Yan picked up the scroll and skimmed through it. After reading a few lines, he put it down and looked at Orochimaru. 

Orochimaru's heart skipped a beat. 

Did he write too much? 

At that moment, Yan finally understood how Tsunade felt. 

She always complained about being so angry that her chest hurt. 

And now, Yan was starting to feel the same way. 

"I told you to write a self-reflection, not an essay! And you—Orochimaru, a disciple of the Third Hokage, someone who worked with Danzo for so long—how do you not even know how to shift the blame properly? 

Push everything onto Danzo! 

Why are you making yourself look bad? 

Danzo is already dead. Whatever we say goes. What's he going to do? Climb out of the grave and accuse you?" 

"If you don't put all the blame on Danzo, how are you going to walk in the sunlight again? How will the villagers forgive you?" 

"Rewrite it. Shift all the responsibility onto Danzo. And make yourself sound even more miserable so the villagers will feel sorry for you. 

You're one of the Legendary Sannin! I could grab any random kid from the Ninja Academy, and they'd write a better self-reflection than this." 

Orochimaru: "....." 

Look at Naruto—at first, he was all stubborn, but now? 

When it comes to writing self-reflections, he knows exactly how to twist the story, making himself sound as pitiful as possible. 

Unfortunately, Yan wasn't buying it. 

Yan needed Orochimaru to do the same, to gain the villagers' sympathy. 

As long as the villagers forgave him, Orochimaru could walk around Konoha like a normal person again. 

What the hell?! 

Never in his life did he think he'd be writing a self-reflection. 

Orochimaru's mouth twitched uncontrollably, but in the end, he had no choice but to rewrite it. 

This was harder than conducting an experiment. 

"Alright, this is much better. Have someone fix it up a little when we get back. Let's go." 

After checking Orochimaru's revised self-reflection, Yan was finally satisfied. 

What the hell am I even doing...?

Following Yan back to Konohagakure, Orochimaru still felt a little dazed. Somehow, without even realizing it, he had been brought back just like that. 

"Wait… is that Orochimaru?" 

The guards at the village gate were stunned when they saw Orochimaru casually walking in. Their eyes quickly filled with fear and panic. 

Their first instinct was to sound the alarm, to alert everyone and prevent Orochimaru from causing chaos. 

"What are you doing?" 

Luckily, one of them stopped his partner before he could trigger a false alarm. 

"I'm notifying the others! That's Orochimaru! What if he attacks the village?" 

Hearing this, his partner was so frustrated he wanted to punch him. 

"Open your eyes and look properly! Do you see who's walking in front of Orochimaru? That's our Hokage's advisor! It's obvious that Orochimaru was brought back by him. Do you really think Orochimaru would dare attack the village?" 

"Use your brain, will you?" 

"…" 

The Hokage's advisor actually brought back Orochimaru, a rogue ninja? 

It wasn't just the gate guards who were shocked. Even the Anbu were completely caught off guard. 

But their reactions were faster than the average ninja. Without hesitation, they immediately rushed to the Hokage's office to report the situation to Tsunade. 

Tsunade was handling paperwork as usual when the Anbu suddenly barged in. 

Unlike the Third Hokage, Tsunade never kept Anbu stationed inside her office. If they rushed in without even knocking, that meant something big had happened. 

"What's going on?" 

Shizune stepped forward to ask. 

Tsunade looked up without saying anything. 

Anbu knelt on one knee and reported: 

"Hokage-sama, the advisor has returned… and he brought back Orochimaru, the village's rogue ninja. They've already entered the village and are heading towards the Hokage's office." 

"Huh?" Shizune was stunned. 

Tsunade stood up in shock. "He actually brought Orochimaru back?"
