Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Orochimaru held up the fish strung with steel wire in his hand, hoping that these fish, which had been tortured and just wanted to be freed as soon as possible, could still be eaten.

Volume 23: Chapter : Painting a Pie for Danzo

At night, the cold moonlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

Deep underground in the No. 0 Training Ground, Orochimaru followed behind Danzo Shimura, observing everything around him.

Building a training ground underground, without sunlight for a long time, would cause health problems, right? Not to mention anything else, your personality would become increasingly dark and depressed.

"Orochimaru, this is the Anbu training department. I am the manager of this department and the one who formulates the Anbu training plan. The Anbu are the direct subordinates of the Hokage. They are the ninjas who protect Konoha in the dark and are also the unsung heroes."

"An unsung hero?"

Orochimaru looked at Danzo Shimura who was walking in front of him with confusion.

"Anbu members don't leave behind corpses after death. This is to prevent the enemy from obtaining information."

Danzo Shimura looked at Orochimaru who seemed to be in deep thought. He was very patient with such an outstanding genius. He would let her know the existence of Root little by little and guide her to join Root actively.

This was done not only because Orochimaru was Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, but also because Orochimaru was outstanding enough, far surpassing the geniuses of the major families, and those geniuses pale in comparison to her.

"Many things that the Anbu do are shady things. They eliminate those who are a threat to the peace of the village. In the village, the Anbu ninjas are a highly feared existence."

Shimura Danzo's tone was calm, and he observed the expression on Orochimaru's face with his peripheral vision. He could see very little information from that childish face.

"Even so, the Anbu is necessary. Some things have to be done by someone."

Orochimaru is not averse to Anbu ninjas, but he will still feel uncomfortable if he is targeted by an Anbu ninja. That feeling is like being inexplicably bullied by an uncle in a hat.

Although in the original work the existence of the Anbu almost only appears in the form of soy sauce and cannon fodder, only when you really live in this world do you know that the existence of the Anbu is indispensable. It is because of the existence of the Anbu that the Hokage can sit in the office and see through most of the things happening in the village. It is also because of the existence of the Anbu that the movements of ninja villages in various countries can be grasped in a timely manner.

All the dirty work is done by the Anbu. Both that world and this ninja world need a group of people like this.

Danzo Shimura was slightly stunned, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes. He didn't expect Orochimaru to understand the significance of the existence of the Anbu so quickly, and he admired her even more. But at the same time, he was also very clear that such a rational Orochimaru must have planned what he wanted to do long ago, and it would probably not be so easy to guide her to join the Root on her own initiative.

"Orochimaru, have you been learning medical ninjutsu recently? Why did you give up escape techniques and turn to studying medical ninjutsu?"

"Master Danzo, I have some ideas. I lack the corresponding medical knowledge, so learning medical ninjutsu is just a side job."

There was a glint in Orochimaru's eyes, as if he had mentioned something that interested him.

I don’t know if Danzo Shimura can become my angel investor... I don’t know when I will be able to have my own research lab just by relying on the income from writing books.

"Oh, what kind of idea?"

Danzo Shimura continued speaking following Orochimaru's words.

"The formula of the Bingliang Pills is no secret in the ninja world. I have studied the formula of the Bingliang Pills. The Bingliang Pills use a combination of various medicinal herbs to achieve the effect of making the user euphoric and tireless, and restoring physical strength and chakra. However, taking too much Bingliang Pills can have serious side effects. I want to improve the formula of the Bingliang Pills, and for this, I need medical knowledge."

Orochimaru said this sincerely, but in fact she was just trying to flatter Danzo Shimura.

Eating too much of something like Bingliang Pills is harmful to the body. All medicines are poisonous. No matter whether it is a tonic or any other medicine, eating too much will not be good for you.

The idea of improving the Bingliang Pills was just a fleeting thought that came to her by chance.

The reason why she said it out was, on the one hand, that she lacked investors, and on the other hand, through Shimura Danzo she could see more hard-to-see books. To her, the Shimura Danzo in front of her was no longer an old villain!

But it is Doraemon, Danzo, who will grant your every wish!

It’s the plus version, the rich Doraemon, Danzo, and A-mon who can easily come up with the funds she needs!

"Improved Hyouryoku Maru?... If it succeeds, it will be a good thing for the ninjas in the village."

Shimura Danzo suppressed his surprise and put on a kind smile. "Orochimaru, if you need any help, you can tell me. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be able to achieve something."

This is Lord Danzo?!

When the guards around Danzo Shimura saw the smile on his face, a hint of shock flashed in their eyes. They shouldn't have had any emotions, but at this moment they actually felt a little scared.

"I need more books on medicinal herbs, Master Danzo. If possible, I hope you can financially support my research. Please believe me, I will give you satisfactory results."

Orochimaru looked at Danzo Shimura seriously, with a hint of uneasiness on his face, and clenched his clothes tightly with both hands.

"Okay, Orochimaru, I believe you."

Danzo Shimura will not give up the opportunity to win over Orochimaru.

Besides, he didn't think Orochimaru's research would cost too much money.

Once Orochimaru successfully improves the Hyouryo Maru, he will also have a share of the credit. When the ninjas in the village eat the improved Hyouryo Maru, won't they thank Danzo Shimura for his kindness?

Why not want the fame that can be gained by spending a little money?

As for whether Orochimaru could successfully improve the Hyouryokumaru, he was not worried at all.

Danzo Shimura still wanted to see Orochimaru's research fail, as he felt he owed him something, so he wanted to win over Orochimaru.

Therefore, whether Orochimaru's research fails or succeeds, he will not lose anything.

He won from the beginning!

The next day, Orochimaru looked at the piles of medical books in his home, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The roots move so fast!

Orochimaru quickly obtained the research funds. As if to express his trust in her, Danzo Shimura directly sent her 200 million taels. You should know that an S-level mission only costs one million taels.

She was confident that she could embezzle most of the two million taels and still give some of the proceeds to Shimura Danzo.

If I want to improve the Bingliang Pills, this little bit of money is not enough!

"Orochimaru, come train with me...huh?!"

Tsunade pushed open the door of Orochimaru's house and saw the mountains of books in the house. She thought she had walked into the wrong house, so she went out and closed the door to make sure she was in the right place. She opened the door again and looked at Orochimaru swimming in the ocean of knowledge, confirming that this was Orochimaru's home.

Tsunade pointed at the terrifying mountain of books with trembling fingers, "Orochimaru, what are these books?"

"Tsunade, you're here."

Orochimaru raised his head, looked at Tsunade standing at the door, and said with a smile: "This is a book sent by the Hokage Assistant."

"Hurry up and go train with Tsunade."

"Don't bother us here."

"Go, go, go!"

Orochimaru's shadow clones are all more unique than the other, and he really doesn't like being disturbed when he is reading.

Hokage Assistant?!

Isn't that the extremely annoying guy!

Even my grandma doesn't like him!

Tsunade was shocked. When did that guy become so kind?

Volume 24: Chapter : Prophecy

"Orochimaru, the Hokage's assistant, Danzo Shimura-sama, is not someone you can easily approach."

Tsunade leaned over to Orochimaru's ear and whispered. Then she looked around and lowered her voice even lower, "Let me tell you, even my grandmother doesn't like him very much."

Granny Mito dislikes Danzo, perhaps because her good and evil senses can sense some of Danzo's thoughts? After all, Granny Mito is still the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Possessing the ability to sense good and evil, no matter how respectful you appear on the surface, if you have some bad thoughts in your heart, they will definitely be sensed.

Orochimaru looked astonished and said calmly, "Maybe it's because Danzo-sama is in charge of the Anbu training department? Staying in the dark for too long will be affected to some extent."

"Tsunade, let's go train."

"Okay, let's go practice!"

Tsunade wanted to say something, but after hearing Orochimaru say that he was going to train, she threw those words behind her.

training ground

boom--!

Tsunade's body was flashing with lightning, and her hair exploded slightly under the effect of the lightning chakra. Her fist flashing with lightning hit the rock, leaving a deep pit in the rock without using any special force.

Orochimaru was holding a book in his hand, observing Tsunade's training.

Tsunade, who is good at medical ninjutsu, should have some understanding of the acupoints of the human body. Even if she cannot release chakra like the Hyuga clan, what would happen if she used lightning chakra to stimulate some acupoints?

The image of Might Guy using the Eight Gates appeared in Orochimaru's mind. The Eight Gates are the eight most important acupuncture points in the human body that control the flow of chakra. If the acupuncture points of the Eight Gates are stimulated by lightning chakra, what kind of power can be exerted?

No, stimulating the Eight Gates would cause too much damage to the body, and besides, the Eight Gates is not suitable for Tsunade.

Practicing the Eight Gates is not that easy. Both Might Guy and Rock Lee have talents in physical skills. More importantly, they can devote all their energy and time to physical skills. The opening of the Eight Gates one after another is a reward for their hard work.

With Tsunade's extraordinary strength and terrifying destructive power, if she attacks with all her strength, except for a few extremely abnormal beings, anyone who is not killed will be crippled.

In this way, stimulating some acupuncture points in the body can speed up the flow of chakra. Although it is far inferior to the Eight Gates, it is enough for Tsunade.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru waved to Tsunade, "Tsunade, come here, I have something to tell you."

"Orochimaru, what's wrong? What did you see that you don't understand?"

Tsunade pulled her fist out of the rock, the lightning flashing on her body disappeared, she calmed her breathing, picked up the towel beside her, wiped the sweat from her face, and walked over.

"I have an idea. Since you are good at medical ninjutsu, maybe you can create your own lightning ninjutsu."

"My own Lightning Release?"

Tsunade's bright brown eyes sparkled as she looked at Orochimaru, "So, you want to help me develop Lightning Release Ninjutsu?!"

"It's not that I help you develop Lightning Release Ninjutsu, but that you develop your own Lightning Release Ninjutsu, a Lightning Release Ninjutsu that only you, who are good at medical ninjutsu, can use."

Seeing Tsunade so excited, Orochimaru smiled. Perhaps because she was much older than Tsunade in her heart, she was very patient with Tsunade, who was a bit violent and lively.

"My thoughts are this..."

Orochimaru expressed his idea of a lightning technique suitable for Tsunade.

"Using lightning chakra to stimulate the acupuncture points in the body? This does require a deep understanding of the acupuncture points in the human body. The acupuncture points in the human body are very special, and if you are not careful, it is easy to cause irreparable damage to the body."

Tsunade understood Orochimaru's idea and knew why she said that only she could use the Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

"This lightning ninjutsu is very dangerous."

"So, if you want to complete and use this Lightning Release Ninjutsu, only you can do it. I am only responsible for providing you with the concept, and the rest is up to you."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with a hint of smile in his eyes, "I believe you will be able to complete this technique soon."

In the original work, Tsunade has superb skills in medical ninjutsu and is well-known in the ninja world. Orochimaru believes that Tsunade's talents are not limited to medical ninjutsu.

From Tsunade's rapid progress in Lightning Release, it can be seen that if she is a genius, then Tsunade is a monster with Senju bloodline.

There is no doubt about the educational level of Mr. Sarutobi, but in terms of training, he chooses to train his disciples based on their interests. This can greatly bring out the talents of his disciples, but it can also easily bury them.

Tsunade could have become a more powerful ninja, but in the original work she is just a rough-and-tumble ninja.

"Then let's start from now on!"

Tsunade has always been a person who acts impetuously and does what she says. With Orochimaru's encouragement, Tsunade seemed to be injected with chicken blood and felt that she could do anything.

"Tsunade! Orochimaru! You're here!"

Jiraiya waved his hands and looked at Tsunade and Orochimaru with a happy smile on his face.

"Jiraiya, you're back. How's your training going?"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya who was running over in a good mood.

"Me? I'm fine! I'll surprise you and Sarutobi-sensei soon!"

Jiraiya's smile was confident, revealing a row of white teeth, but soon his expression turned into distress, with a rare hint of confusion.

"However, the Great Toad Immortal has not yet made any predictions about me."

"A prophecy..."

Snapped--!

Orochimaru closed the book in his hand and stared at Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, do you really think that your future can be determined by prophecy?"

"..."

Jiraiya fell silent. From the mouths of the toads like Boss Fukasaku, Sister Shima, Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro, he learned that the predictions of the Great Toad Sage had never been wrong and all his predictions were bound to come true.

But he couldn't answer Orochimaru whether his future could be determined by the prediction of the Great Toad Sage.

Seeing Jiraiya's silence, Tsunade urged, "Say something, Jiraiya!"
