After meeting Orochimaru, I immediately returned to the village. When I arrived home, I breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know why Orochimaru would make such a childish suggestion. As an exploitative person, there is no way he would be so childish!
Regarding this, my first guess was that he was showing weakness and wanted me to look down on him? This seems unnecessary! Suddenly, a person appeared in my mind, a guy who looked like a pitcher plant. Thinking of the unknown Zetsu in the original work, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. Maybe Orochimaru was showing weakness to Akatsuki. It seems that the original work also mentioned that the relationship between Orochimaru and Akatsuki was not harmonious, so he betrayed Akatsuki in the end.
If you look at the original work, you will know that "Akatsuki" is full of unruly madmen.
