Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"Well...isn't this Hikaru's characteristic?"

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Hikaru's hair. It's not that she hadn't tried before, but no matter how she combed her long black hair, it was still a little frizzy.

"It will look better this way."

Orochimaru noticed that Uchiha Hikaru cared a lot about her hairstyle, so she tied it into a single ponytail with a red hairband.

"How about this?"

Orochimaru pushed Uchiha Hikaru to the mirror. She had her hair tied in a single ponytail, and the hair on both sides looked like a cat's drooping ears, which was very cute.

"Orochimaru seems to know everything!"

Uchiha Hikaru showed a happy smile on her face. Orochimaru gave her the feeling that there was nothing she couldn't do.

"I'm not that great. There are many things I don't know. There is no perfect person in the world. Everyone has their own shortcomings and strengths."

Orochimaru said with a smile.

Uchiha Hikaru followed Orochimaru out of the room and asked curiously, "Orochimaru, where is the Land of Waves?"

"The Wave Nation is an island nation south of the Fire Nation. It's also where the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company is located. The skincare products you use are produced by that White Snake Company."

"So how do we get there? By boat?"

Uchiha Hikaru, who has always lived on the mainland, is looking forward to seeing the sea and wants to experience the feeling of riding a boat.

"I'll take you on a boat trip to the Land of Waves next time. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time."

Orochimaru has to rush to the Land of Waves as soon as possible to deal with some things, but he doesn't have time to take his time to go to the Land of Waves.

"Well, next time then!"

Uchiha Hikaru said in a clever and understanding manner.

Wave Country, White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

In the president's office, Uchiha Guang sat on the sofa, staring straight ahead. She felt dizzy now.

Who would have thought that the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company that we often see on TV is actually Orochimaru's company!

The company president is Orochimaru's subordinate. As soon as they met, he was so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide in front of Orochimaru to apologize.

Uchiha Guang even suspected that she was under an illusion. To cause her to fall under this illusion, one must have an eye power that at least exceeds her Sharingan.

"Qinghe, don't look so devastated. The merchant from the Water Country is dead, so what if there's no evidence against him?"

Orochimaru said impatiently that Qinghe was responsible for this matter, but it was not entirely his fault.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Orochimaru."

Qinghe didn't know how many times he said sorry in just a few minutes.

"That's enough! If you keep doing this, get out of here!"

Orochimaru looked at Qinghe angrily.

"Yes! Lord Orochimaru!"

Seeing that Lord Orochimaru was angry, Qinghe swallowed back the words of apology that were about to come out of his mouth.

Kakuzu glanced at Qinghe with a gloating look, his eyes landing on Uchiha Hikaru.

Is this child from the Uchiha clan?

Why is he following Orochimaru? Could she have kidnapped him?

Kakuzu thought doubtfully.

Orochimaru didn't know what Kakuzu was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely want to drag her to the sea outside the Wave Country to compete with her. Anyway, Kakuzu was difficult to kill now, so if he couldn't kill her, he would beat her to death.

"Now that things have come to this, we know that the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village have their sights set on the formula we have. With all the major ninja villages stockpiling supplies for war, it's only natural for them to take risks to obtain the healing pill formula."

"The Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sandgakure all likely have ideas about the formula. They know very well how important the healing pills are to them if war breaks out. They are a vital medicine that can greatly reduce the number of casualties."

Orochimaru was not surprised at all that this happened. The four major countries had been wanting to acquire the formula of the healing pills from the White Snake Medical Technology Company for a long time.

The Fire Nation was in trouble because she developed the regeneration pill. The daimyo didn't care about the healing pill and asked Konoha for the formula of the regeneration pill, but was sternly rejected by the Konoha high-level officials.

Are you kidding? Even Hashirama Senju doesn't know this important formula...

It is really possible that Hashirama Senju would hand it over, after all, he once thought about distributing the tailed beasts to various ninja villages for free.

"It's not like various countries and ninja villages haven't tried to decipher the formula for healing pills. It's precisely because they can't figure it out that they want to learn the formula. If we can produce healing pills ourselves, not only can we reduce production costs, but we can also be self-sufficient, without the need for companies to provide them."

Kakuzu has a premonition that as the war approaches, White Snake Medical Technology Company and the Land of Waves will also be affected.

"But even if they get the formula, it's useless. They can't get the most important ingredient."

Orochimaru was not worried about the formula of the healing pill being leaked. The most important ingredient was the healing liquid of the Chimera worms. The places where the Chimera worms lived were the mangroves and the land of the Konoha Aburame clan.

"indeed."

Kakuzu nodded slightly, thinking of the Chimaera swarms living in the mangroves.

Those Chimaera bugs are not something that ordinary ninjas can deal with. If you want to capture them alive, you must send out a team of at least senior ninjas. In addition, they have high intelligence and can fly very fast in the air.

"Lord Orochimaru, what should we do with the three people from the Blood Pond Clan?"

Qinghe asked, glancing at Uchiha Hikaru who was sitting over there, curious about who she was and why she was sitting next to Lord Orochimaru.

"You are the president of the company, don't ask me everything. Whether to kill or expel, you should make the decision yourself on such trivial matters!"

Orochimaru said indifferently that she didn't care what would happen to those three minions. They were useless because their blood dragon eyes were sealed by the pupil-sealing curse.

Volume 162: Chapter 5 (K) Uzumaki Chigusa Holds a Vengeance

The beach, which used to be a place crowded with tourists, is now much quieter.

Uchiha Guang walked on the wet beach, and the waves washing over his feet brought a different experience.

The sea is so big...

Uchiha Hikaru looked out at the seemingly endless ocean, and even with his Sharingan he couldn't see the end.

"Mio, can your Byakugan see the end of the ocean?"

Uchiha Hikaru looked at Hinata Mio and asked.

Hinata Mio shook her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I can't see it even with my Byakugan."

When she first saw the sea, Hinata Mio tried it, but ended up exhausting herself.

"Orochimaru, you were alarmed by such a small matter."

Uzumaki Chigusa was wearing a fiery red long skirt that matched her hair color very well. Her beautiful red hair was braided into a pigtail and she wore a yellow sun hat. She had her hands behind her back and was looking at Orochimaru beside her out of the corner of her eye. She keenly sensed that her chakra was a little gloomy.

The little thing that happened in Wave Country couldn't possibly make her like this...

Is it Konoha? Or is it Mito-sama?

Uzumaki Chigusa wondered in her heart what had happened to cause Orochimaru's chakra to become like that.

What's going on with that kid?

Uzumaki Chigusa keenly sensed the chaotic yet strangely balanced chakra on Uchiha Hikaru's body, as if chakra that did not belong to her was forcibly implanted into her body.

This couldn't have been done by Orochimaru!

Could it be the Uchiha clan?

No, the Uchiha clan would never do that.

So what's going on?

Uzumaki Chigusa had many questions in her mind, but she did not doubt Orochimaru.

Forget it, I’ll ask again later!

"Chigusa, if this happens once, it will happen again. In order to gain an advantage before the war begins, any means are worth it. As long as we don't get caught, the company cannot stop cooperating with them."

In the past, Orochimaru wanted to avoid war as much as possible, but now she wants the war to start quickly and end early to avoid wasting her time.

"Will the Land of Waves also be drawn into the vortex of war?"

Uzumaki Chigusa was anxious about this, fearing that her clansmen who had settled in the Land of Waves would lose their homes again, and that Orochimaru's hard work would be burned to ashes.

"You don't have to worry about that. If war breaks out, Wave Country will be the safest country."

Orochimaru is still very confident about this. Konoha will be attacked, but Wave Country will not.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Uzumaki Chigusa believed in Orochimaru's judgment, tugged at her white robe, and changed the subject: "Orochimaru, when can you change your clothes? How long has it been since you last changed out of this white robe?"

"This white robe is very convenient! Is there anything wrong with it?"

Orochimaru looked at the white robe on his body. She thought it was pretty good and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The snake skin made by Princess Ichikishima could be big or small, and could also be used as a scroll to seal some things, so she didn't even need a ninja tool bag.

"I'm not talking about convenience! How can you, as a girl, not love beauty?"

Uzumaki Chigusa had long discovered that Orochimaru had never worn any makeup and was not keen on dressing up. It could be said that he put all his energy into research.

"Too much trouble."

Orochimaru spread his hands and said, "Instead of spending my time on such boring things, I would rather do something meaningful."

"boring……"

Uzumaki Chigusa's fists stiffened. When did dressing up, which was so important to girls, become a boring thing?

"Besides, I don't need to dress up to improve myself. I think my current appearance is good enough. With my research in biotechnology, I can fix my appearance at any age."

Orochimaru felt that her appearance might remain relatively mature in the future. She was really fed up with being patted on the head all the time when she was a child.

Of course, she didn't deny that it felt good to touch someone's head.

"Orochimaru, please allow me to be your experimental subject in biotechnology."

Uzumaki Chigusa quickly grabbed Orochimaru's hands, looking at her with shining red eyes, as if she had seen a savior.

The first thing she does when she wakes up every day is to check if there are crow's feet at the corners of her eyes or wrinkles on her face. Who can understand the pain of being over 30?

"what……"

Orochimaru stared blankly at Uzumaki Chigusa. He had never seen anyone want to become an experimental subject on their own initiative before!

It seems that Chigusa is starting to have appearance anxiety.

Orochimaru came back to his senses and said seriously, "Chigusa, my research in biotechnology is not yet mature. I don't recommend applying it to you right now. Besides, you don't need me to use biotechnology to help you maintain your beauty right now."

Orochimaru looked at Uzumaki Chigusa. She was over 30 years old, mature and beautiful, with elegant manners and a plump figure, and had a healthy and round beauty.

"You are at your most beautiful right now."

Orochimaru said sincerely that from her aesthetic point of view, Uzumaki Chigusa was like a blooming rose, at the most beautiful and charming moment.

"really?"

A faint blush appeared on Uzumaki Chigusa's pretty face. She looked at Orochimaru suspiciously, remembering what she had said about herself before. She pretended to be sad and said, "I don't know who said I had crow's feet at the corners of my eyes, and also called me an old woman. She was so petty after I kissed her, and last time she was..."

Uzumaki Chigusa was bringing up old grudges, all of which were Orochimaru's harsh words to her. They met several times every month, and she remembered everything Orochimaru said.

Some of the words were just casually said by Orochimaru, and he might have forgotten them, but she still remembered them clearly, as if they were all written down in a small notebook.

"It's me! I said it! And could you please stop just talking about the parts that benefit you? If you cut out the beginning and the end, what's the point?"

Orochimaru glared at Uzumaki Chigusa with a flushed face. She had known for a long time that this terrible woman was quite vindictive, but she had underestimated the extent of her vengeance and shamelessness.

Damn it, she was the one who called me old lady first!

And breasts and stuff, she just had to compare them!

Isn’t it just that if it’s too big it will sag?

As for remembering it now?

Orochimaru discovered that Uzumaki Chigusa, the acting queen, could always easily stir up her emotions, especially her anger.

"Just admit it."

Uzumaki Chigusa put her hands behind her back and jumped on the beach in a good mood, looking at Orochimaru from time to time, as if to say, see, I was right, you admitted it yourself!

The only response she got was Orochimaru's eyes that looked like he wanted to hit someone.

"Chigusa, I came to the Land of Waves this time. Besides the matter of the Blood Pond Clan, I have something to tell you. It's about Grandma Mito..."
