That's because you don't know how disgusting this snake is.
Hearing Big Mom's disdain for Orochimaru, Naruto didn't explain much and instead turned to look at Pudding, who was waiting nearby.
"Your name is Pudding, right? Please help me search his memories for information related to an organization called 'Akatsuki.'"
Naruto didn't mind directly stating his purpose in front of Big Mom.
In fact, ever since he decided to extract memories from Orochimaru's body, he had already prepared himself mentally for others to learn about the ninja world.
Was he afraid that someone knowing this secret would covet it?
Well, how to put it.
Think about it from another angle.
Didn't everyone know that the wealth in Mary Geoise was so abundant that you could "pick it up without even bending over"?
So why would they rather fight and kill each other on the seas for a little treasure instead of climbing the Red Line to rob to their heart's content?
It was simply because they couldn't win.
Even with Naruto's current physical strength in the ninja world, he dared to reveal the truth about crossing worlds, let alone here.
Did he lack things that others coveted?
The World Government's bounty, various secrets of the New World, and even the location of the final island.
One more didn't make a difference.
Secrets were only death warrants in the hands of the weak.
For the strong, they were just information.
Hearing Naruto's words, Pudding also reacted.
The little girl walked over somewhat awkwardly, still seeming not quite recovered from Naruto's earlier attitude toward her.
She placed her finger next to Orochimaru's head, and then memories were extracted like film strips from inside.
Then, Pudding really became like a projectionist, turning the other's memories into film strips and carefully examining them "frame by frame," searching for corresponding information.
Big Mom only glanced over here once, then continued eating sweets.
The previous table of sweets wasn't nearly enough. What came up now was the second round.
She could also hear that Naruto had a grudge with some secret organization and now that he'd caught a member, wanted to find their hideout.
However, speaking of it, she Charlotte Linlin, had been around for so many years and had never heard of an organization called "Akatsuki."
On this side, Pudding was shocked by what she saw.
Ninjutsu, chakra, ninjas, the Five Great Shinobi Villages, tailed beasts, and human experimentation. Countless pieces of unheard-of information about the ninja world were extracted from his memories.
Pudding instinctively thought this guy's brain had been tampered with.
But no one else had the Memory-Memory Fruit, so they shouldn't be able to create such complete and coherent large segments of memory, right?
According to different categories of memories, Pudding first skipped memories related to "common sense" and "knowledge" and began looking through memories about secrets.
The first thing that came into view was the scene of Orochimaru proposing cooperation with Naruto, using an immortal guy to create a body and take it over.
"Ugh!"
Those disgusting scenes had no censorship at all, impacting Pudding's fourteen-year-old mind.
She almost couldn't hold back from vomiting in front of Big Mom.
But then a somewhat fanciful thought suddenly sprouted in Pudding's mind.
Although that other world didn't look very pleasant either, if she went there, wouldn't she be able to escape Mama's control?
It could only be said that this child seemed to have developed psychological trauma from her mother.
Pudding at this period hadn't experienced as many ups and downs as in her original fate, finally awakening and reestablishing bonds with siblings like Katakuri.
Now, she was just a little girl trying to escape her terrifying mother.
Regarding Totto Land, Pudding didn't have the sense of belonging that strong individuals like Katakuri and Smoothie had.
Here she had to play the role of a "villainess," serving as Mama's accomplice in evil deeds to survive.
This fantasy of freedom only appeared for an instant before being snuffed out by Pudding herself.
If she left here, she wouldn't even have her "last bit of value."
Big Mom's control and teaching had also formed a somewhat distorted value system in this child.
On Naruto's side, he first sensed various emotions churning wildly in the little girl's heart, then saw that she seemed to have suffered some kind of mental "trauma" from Orochimaru's disgusting experiments.
"Oh no!"
He patted his head. This was his oversight.
"Pudding, why don't you just transfer all his memories directly into my brain?"
Naruto's words were shocking. Even Big Mom nearby showed an intriguing expression upon hearing this.
Pudding was even more incredulous.
"Eh? No way!"
"Kid, are you insane?"
Directly extracting someone's memories and stuffing them into your own or another person's brain was, in their view, equivalent to "dumping garbage" into your own mind.
This was like stuffing another person's "self" into your own consciousness.
If one's personal will wasn't strong enough, situations like "personality replacement" could even occur.
"It's fine, I believe you can do it."
Naruto thought Pudding was saying she couldn't do it due to lack of ability.
He was too lazy to respond to Big Mom and instead gently patted Pudding's head.
The warmth from her head made Pudding swallow back the words of refusal she had wanted to say, and the scene of Naruto's earlier genuine praise for her third eye replayed in her mind.
Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto, Naruto-sama!
All three of her eyes sparkled with starlight.
"Y-yes."
Big Mom in the distance saw all of this but said nothing, though her gaze lingered on Pudding for a moment.
Forget it, this one won't do. She's still useful.
Then Big Mom dismissed the thought she'd just had.
With trembling hands, Pudding extracted all of Orochimaru's memories at once. During the process, possibly due to her shaking hands, she accidentally tore off a small section.
Of course, she immediately used her ability to "stick it back together."
"Naruto-san, are you ready?"
Pudding used great effort to change "sama" to "san," then under Naruto's affirmative gaze, she sent that roll of Orochimaru's "memory film" into Naruto's brain.
She had never done this before. At most she had performed data viewing and modification within "local brains." This was her first time "transferring data between brains."
"Mm..."
Even Naruto, in the instant of accepting the massive wash of Orochimaru's decades of memories, showed a moment of confusion and couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt.
This almost made Big Mom nearby have some not-so-good thoughts.
Fortunately, it was only momentary.
Soon, he opened his eyes again.
"This really is... an unexpected harvest."
Naruto's expression was somewhat complex. This was his first time understanding the affairs of the ninja world so comprehensively.
