Starting with both hands, Orochimaru begs to be his disciple

At the dining table filled with delicious food.

Looking at the gift box in Orochimaru's hand, Jiraiya suddenly regretted it.

His original idea was to see what was in the gift box first.

If it was Sarutobi Hiruzen's gift, it would be more precious than the two things he had in his arms.

He would prepare something better afterwards.

But looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his face suddenly turned ashen.

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat.

Oops, I seem to be in trouble!

Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly shrank his neck.

"Hey, let's eat first, we'll talk later, we'll talk later."

With a wry smile, he hurriedly pulled Orochimaru to sit on the main seat.

Squinting his eyes.

Orochimaru also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.

"Teacher, you didn't give me a detonating talisman, did you?"

He said it half-jokingly, but his tone was a little cold.

Those who are familiar with him know one thing.

Ever since Rope Tree died, the thing he hated most was detonating talismans.

At least for now.

It's not easy to have a birthday, Sarutobi Hiruzen better not cause him any trouble!

After doing experiments over the years, his respect for life has almost disappeared.

He doesn't care about anyone else's life except his own.

"How could that be? Don't worry, it's definitely a good thing."

The transformation from a gloomy face to a smile took less than a second.

Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his hat.

The short, slightly gray hair adds a touch of softness to it.

"Really?"

After glancing sideways for a second, Orochimaru's gaze fell on his own hands.

"Then I'd be interested to see it."

As he spoke, he untied the ribbon on the gift box.

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Why doesn't Orochimaru play by the rules?

Is this still his cold-tempered disciple?

Before he could stop him, Orochimaru suddenly stopped and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen playfully.

He put the gift box beside him.

Orochimaru smiled happily and waved his hand:

"Let's eat first, don't let Tsunade's kindness go to waste!"

"Don't you think so, Tsunade?"

As he said this, he turned to the table and looked at Tsunade who had been staring at the gift box curiously.

Observing Sarutobi Hiruzen's subtle expression, Orochimaru had a vague guess about what was in the gift box.

A gift wrapped specifically with a ribbon is itself unusual.

It was impossible for his teacher to be so subtle when wanting to give him a gift.

Teacher, who are you guarding against?

The things were for himself, and because of his relationship with Jiraiya, he was also very good friends with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In other words, Sarutobi Hiruzen was preventing Tsunade from seeing it!

Considering what has happened recently, the situation becomes very clear.

But Orochimaru was curious.

What are the ingredients of the body-tempering liquid launched by Tsunade?

You know, there are quite a few people in Konoha Village who have scientific research capabilities.

There are quite a few in every major family.

After the negotiations collapsed, the major families should have started studying this thing.

Except nothing comes of it.

Otherwise, this kind of thing is related to the prosperity of the family.

There is a high probability that Sarutobi Hiruzen will not allow him to do research.

What a pity, today is my birthday.

If not, he would definitely take it apart on the spot!

"Oh, you're welcome. Eat as much as you can."

On the left side of the guest table, Tsunade smiled generously.

But she looked away in disappointment.

Unlike others, she was simply curious about what gift Sarutobi Hiruzen would give her.

He signaled Li Quan with his eyes.

It seems to be asking:

"Take a look through it, what's inside?"

At the same time, she would occasionally glance at the gift box next to Orochimaru.

"Trust me, you don't want to know."

Li Quan's voice rang in my mind.

Tsunade was immediately confused.

What the hell, wouldn't she want to know?

For a moment, her heart itched even more.

For this kind of secret that can be known immediately, Tsunade wished Orochimaru would reveal it immediately.

But it was Orochimaru's gift after all.

Tsunade is very restrained in many things.

For example, the communication with Li Quan.

Therefore, for the time being, she suppressed the curiosity in her heart that was like a cat's paw.

The atmosphere became extremely harmonious.

The five people in the room ate their meal together very well.

The relationship between Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsunade and the other two seemed to have returned to the past, when Tsunade and the other two had just become Genin.

They told each other's past scandals and exposed each other's shortcomings.

The only difference is that there is one more person, Li Quan, among the four of them.

Caught in the middle, Li Quan was tactful and didn't say anything.

However, the glances that were cast at him from time to time always made him feel helpless.

Li Quan knew it very well.

The biggest reason why he caught the attention of these four people was not because he had a system.

But he really does have some similarities with Senju Nawaki.

If Shengshu had not died, the person sitting here must also be Shengshu.

From the beginning, he was just the shadow of Rope Tree.

And he has been making use of this advantage.

But Li Quan didn't like this very much.

Now in Tsunade's eyes, he has a different side.

From now on, his connection with Sheng Shu will only become more and more distant.

He wanted everyone to understand one thing.

Li Quan, it will only be Li Quan!

Not anyone's shadow!!

It seems that there is one more target.

Li Quan picked up the juice and took two sips, then shrank his neck with a wry smile.

Hiding behind Tsunade, he avoided Sarutobi Hiruzen's sight.

This old man, what's up with this trick again?!

Looking at the aura on his body, something seems to be wrong!

The joyful atmosphere we have maintained with great difficulty, this old man should stop causing trouble!

……

at the same time.

Inside Baichuan Grocery Store.

After Xiao's first aid, Danzo Shimura, who had just recovered, suddenly opened his eyes.

But those bloodshot eyeballs were truly terrifying.

"What's the situation now?"

"The loss of Toshao?"

"Where did that stinky boy Shimura Nakayoshi go?"

Staring at Xiao who was standing beside him, Danzo grabbed Xiao's collar and asked.

But the sound was a bit shrill and leaky.

Listening to Danzo's three fatal knocks, Xiao swallowed nervously.

"Sir, your nephew has been under an illusion and has suffered a great loss of mental strength. He is resting now."

"As for what happened..."

His eyes were shaking, and Xiao himself was not sure about the news he had just heard.

"Stop talking nonsense and speak to me!"

It’s a good thing that my nephew is okay.

But what Danzo is more concerned about now is what is happening in the store!

"Assistant Sir, please take a moment and I will explain it to you slowly."

Pursing his lips, Xiao gritted his teeth and told the whole story of the incident that he heard from Shimura Nakayoshi.

puff~

Listen to everything.

Danzo Shimura rolled his eyes and spat out blood again.

But this time, he just turned pale and didn't faint directly.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he slowly stood up and picked up an ivory crutch that Xiao had prepared.

"Go find a witness!"

"Even if you don't have any, give me some money and I'll buy you some!"

He took a fierce look at Orochimaru's home from a distance.

Danzo Shimura walked up to the second floor of Baichuan Grocery Store with the help of a cane.

I came to the second floor and took a casual look around.

He walked to the largest desk and moved the brush standing on the table.

Kakakka~

With the sound of the mechanism ringing, a crack appeared in the middle of the table.

Finally, a square secret grid was formed.

Among them, three identical scrolls lay quietly.

The next second, Danzo Shimura used chakra to activate one of them.

"Everyone, listen up! Bring half of your ninjas and meet at the Baichuan Grocery Store!"
