Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

The crying of a baby attracted Jiraiya's attention. He looked at the man and saw that he was holding a baby in his arms. He took out a candy from his arms and handed it to him.

"Would you like one? It's a toffee."

The baby suddenly jumped out from the man's arms, bit the candy in Jiraiya's hand, and fell to the ground while spinning. Only then did Jiraiya see clearly that it was not a baby at all but a puppet in the shape of a baby.

"puppet?"

Jiraiya realized that this man was also a ninja.

The puppet's mouth opened and closed rapidly several times.

"This child is saying that there's no need to seek destiny. We can only accept the fate that has already arrived. The time of war has already arrived. Puppetry-making techniques, which are useless in peacetime, might be sold to a certain daimyo for a high price."

The man stood up and the puppet returned to his arms.

Jiraiya looked at the man's back and watched him leave.

Jiraiya did not stay in this country for long and continued his journey. He met the Kusagakure ninja who kept complaining about the world, and also met the Takigakure ninja who taught children how to survive in troubled times.

I also met the leader of an unknown religion who taught people to avoid disasters through prayer.

The prophecy of the Great Toad Sage... Can I really find the innovator who will bring changes to the ninja world?

Jiraiya was walking in the forest, confused about whether he could find the prophesied reformer. A gust of wind blew smoke from afar.

Over there...

Jiraiya's face changed slightly. He realized that something must have happened over there and rushed over.

The burning village, the screams of people in terror, the crying of children, and the ninjas destroying the village.

Why did these ninjas... attack a village where civilians live?

Jiraiya's pupils suddenly shrank, and without thinking too much, he rushed over and shouted, "Stop it! You bastards, come at me if you dare!"

Jiraiya was responded by several kunai and shurikens, one of which had a burning detonating tag on it.

Jiraiya dodged the attacks of shuriken and kunai. With a bang, the detonating tag exploded and the smoke obscured Jiraiya's vision. The next second, a huge shuriken cut through the smoke and hit Jiraiya in the smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Jiraiya, pierced through the back by a huge shuriken, turned into dust.

"This Shuriken technique, are you ninjas from the Fuma clan? Why would you attack a village where civilians live?"

Jiraiya stood on a tree branch, looking at the ninjas of the Fuma clan over there.

"You're a ninja too, right?"

After a brief fight, the Fuma clan ninjas confirmed that this nosy person was also a ninja.

"I am traveling in search of my disciples."

"Hmph, what are you talking about? The balance between the countries has been broken, and when war broke out, that village was destroyed because of the infiltration of ninjas."

The ninjas of the Fuma clan frowned. Their clan suffered heavy casualties in the war, yet this nosy ninja was leisurely traveling around looking for disciples!

"Is that why?"

"If you don't destroy, you will be destroyed. This is a world where if you hesitate, you will be killed."

The ninjas of the Fuma clan didn't want to listen to Jiraiya's nonsense anymore, and waved their hands to throw kunai and shurikens.

"Wind Style: Swift Wind Control!"

Jiraiya formed the Chen Seal with both hands, and the wind formed by the wind chakra wrapped around the kunai and shuriken.

"what?!"

The ninjas of the Fuma clan looked at the kunai and shuriken suspended in the air in shock.

"Back to you!"

Jiraiya let out a low roar, and the kunai and shuriken flew back, becoming more lethal under the enhancement of wind chakra.

The Fuma clan ninja tried his best to dodge, but a wound on his forehead still left blood. Feeling the pain on his forehead, he said, "Even if you defeat me, there will be another assassin who will attack that village. As long as we live in this cursed ninja world, there will be no peace."

The Fuma clan living in Tianguo Country suffered heavy losses because they responded to the call of Tianguo Country's Daimyo before, but Tianguo Country's Daimyo abandoned them and did not care about them.

The Fuma clan, whose lives were even more difficult, had no choice but to accept various commissions, even such shameful ones as attacking villages where civilians lived.

Jiraiya didn't chase after him. The words of the Fuma clan ninja made him fall into deep thought, about ninjas and this world.

Jiraiya's journey continues. As the war intensifies, he meets many war orphans. He also rescues many war orphans who are on the verge of being killed and exploited by various people with ulterior motives.

Jiraiya couldn't bear to see those homeless war orphans suffer from the ravages of war, but his power was limited. He alone could not change the status quo, let alone bring a stable life to the large number of war orphans.

Looking at those children who regarded him as their only hope, Jiraiya couldn't abandon them. At this time, he thought of White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

If it were this company, let alone these war orphans, it would not be difficult for White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company to buy a country.

After all, White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company is already the world's number one super company.

However, Jiraiya was not sure how much say Orochimaru had in the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company, and with trepidation he turned to the captain of the freight fleet that transported goods for the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company for help.

"I know this is difficult, but please help these children."

Jiraiya looked pleadingly at the captain of the freight convoy in front of him.

"I understand. I will pass the news to the head office as soon as possible."

The captain of the freight convoy was from the Ibri clan. When Jiraiya mentioned Orochimaru, he realized that the white-haired man in front of him should be Jiraiya, a disciple of the Third Hokage, just like Lord Orochimaru.

Jiraiya originally thought that White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company would give him an answer after some time, but he did not expect that the answer would be given so quickly.

In less than a week, not only did they agree to his request, but they also sent people to rescue the homeless war orphans and take them away from the war.

This made Jiraiya realize that Orochimaru's say in White Snake Medical Technology Company was even greater than he had imagined.

The White Snake that brought revolution to the ninja world...

Jiraiya thought of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, and became more and more convinced that the White Snake that would bring changes to the ninja world would be the White Snake Medical Technology Company.

Volume 164: Chapter : Arrangements for War Orphans

In the 31st year of Konoha, 6-year-old Nawaki had been attending the Ninja School for two years.

Orochimaru would take time to guide him when he wasn't on a mission.

Rope Tree has an outstanding talent in physical skills and has mastered the extraordinary strength of the Senju clan. The kunai and shuriken he throws with this extraordinary strength are very lethal, but his accuracy is a bit lacking. It is the kind of thing that no matter how much you practice, it is useless, and whether you can hit the target depends entirely on luck.

It's true that you can't hit anyone, but it's quite intimidating.

Orochimaru wondered if this kid had put all his talent points into melee combat.

As for ninjutsu, Orochimaru was not in a hurry to teach him ninjutsu.

"Sister Orochimaru, look over there! There's a toad with goggles hanging around its neck!"

Shengshu stepped on the trunk and walked slowly on it. He saw the red toad over there at a glance.

"Toad?"

Orochimaru looked over and saw a rather familiar-looking toad.

Is this the toad from Mount Myōboku?

Jiraiya sent them here... Apparently it's for that matter.

Jiraiya asked for help from White Snake Medical Technology Company. She knew about taking care of the war orphans.

This may not be a bad thing for the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company. It would take some time to train people who are loyal to the company. Perhaps there are some war orphans with bloodline limits.

In the original work, Orochimaru traveled around the world, kidnapping, no, taking in many children, including children with bloodline limits, Guren and Kaguya-kunmaro.

"Got you!"

The red toad saw Orochimaru and ran over happily.

"Did Jiraiya send you here?"

Orochimaru looked down at the red toad.

"How did you know?"

The red toad was very surprised, and immediately said: "Yes, it was Jiraiya who asked me to come here. My name is Toad Kousuke, and Jiraiya asked me to give this to you."

Gama Kousuke spit out the scroll and placed it on the ground.

"Bye-Bye!"

boom--!

Toad Kousuke disappeared in the smoke.

Toad Kousuke...it turns out to be this one!

Orochimaru remembered why this red toad looked familiar to him. It turned out to be the communication toad that was killed by Danzo Shimura in the original work.

"Jiraiya..."

Nawaki remembered who Jiraiya was, and suddenly realized, "That's the white-haired pervert! My sister told me to stay away from him, so I wouldn't be led astray by him."

Orochimaru, who was looking at the scroll, almost laughed out loud when he heard what Nawaki said. The scroll in his hand turned into ashes and disappeared. He looked at Nawaki and said, "Nawaki, the homework I assigned to you is to practice your chakra control ability."

"Well! I see!"

Nawaki nodded vigorously and asked expectantly: "Then, Sister Orochimaru, when can you teach me ninjutsu?"

"Once your chakra control ability reaches my requirements, I will start teaching you ninjutsu. How about that?"

Nawase's ability to control chakra is already pretty good now, but Orochimaru thinks it's a bit too early for him to learn ninjutsu. His foundation is not solid yet, so it's not the right time for him to learn ninjutsu.

"Why is this..."

Nawaki was very disappointed. He jumped down from the tree, hugged Orochimaru's arm and said, "Sister Orochimaru, can't you teach me the ninjutsu now?"

"Your chakra control ability is too poor. You may hurt yourself when performing ninjutsu. Besides, your basics are not yet solid. Once you master the three body techniques of the ninja school, I will consider teaching you powerful ninjutsu."

Orochimaru patted Nawaki's head and said it was a bit too early to teach him ninjutsu now. The three body techniques learned in the ninja school were enough for him.

Konoha has not yet fallen to the point where it needs children to go to the battlefield.

"Really!"

Nawaki looked at Orochimaru excitedly.

"Of course, I lied to you when."

Orochimaru had tested the changes in the nature of Nawaki's chakra when he was very young.

Fire, earth, water, and yang, these are the changes in the chakra properties possessed by Rope Tree.

After Nawaki left, Orochimaru wondered whether he should go to the Land of Waves.

The war between the four major ninja villages lasted for more than a year, and Konoha had no intention of getting involved. Not only that, the Konoha high-level officials also proposed to the Daimyo of the Fire Country to relocate the civilians in the villages on the border of the Fire Country to prevent them from being attacked by ninjas.

Orochimaru didn't know how the Konoha high-level officials persuaded the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to relocate the civilians in the border villages.

However, the four major ninja villages should have reacted by now. If they continued to fight, the one that would benefit the most would be Konoha, which did not participate in the war.

The flames of war did not burn Konoha, but facing the requests for help from small countries, Konoha could not pretend not to see it. It can be said that except for the fact that Konoha did not officially participate in the war, Konoha ninjas could be seen in many countries, and they were busy accepting commissions.

In a sense, Konoha was also making money from the war.

As a disciple of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, who possesses considerable strength, often goes out on missions to collect intelligence, protect daimyo, suppress civil unrest, and so on.

"Orochimaru, what are you thinking about?"

Uchiha Hikaru hugged her neck from behind Orochimaru and hung his whole body on her.

Compared to two years ago, Uchiha Guang has grown a lot taller and is not as thin. After many treatments, her body has become very healthy, and her breasts, which had been flat before, have also grown.

"That Rope Tree guy is gone, right?"

Uchiha Hikaru looked around and really hated Rope Tree who always took up Orochimaru's time.

Orochimaru had been away for so long on a mission, and when they finally met, he was disturbed by Nawaki again. Uchiha Hikaru's hostility towards Nawaki was growing, and the more he looked at him, the more he disliked him.

If Orochimaru didn't know what was going on, he would have suspected that they were the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura of this generation.

After all, Uchiha Madara is still alive and well.

Calculating the time, it was almost time for him to open his Rinnegan.

"Left long ago."

Orochimaru raised his hand and pinched Uchiha Hikaru's face, which had become much rounder.
