Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"Lost again..."

Tsunade walked out of the casino dejectedly and kicked away the stone blocking her way.

"Call me next time too."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and counted the money in his hand in a good mood. He could win money by gambling with Tsunade without any hesitation.

Suddenly, she stopped counting the money and saw a tall, masked man with green eyes and red sclera.

Kakuzu?

How come he is here?

Is it to find the person who is wanted by the black market?

The moment Orochimaru saw Kakuzu, many speculations arose in his mind.

"Orochimaru! You really have sucked away my luck in gambling! Give it back to me!"

Tsunade crushed the dice in her hand and pounced on Orochimaru.

"Your bad luck in gambling has nothing to do with me... Be gentle, I can't breathe..."

Orochimaru patted Tsunade's arm, and his cold white face turned red.

"I don't care, I'll get half of your winnings!"

Tsunade put her hands on her hips and said unreasonably.

"Makes sense."

Orochimaru thought about it, put away his capital, and then divided the winnings into two equal halves.

Illusion?

Kakuzu paused and looked over there. He just felt someone was looking at him.

"Are you really willing to give it to me?"

Tsunade looked at the money Orochimaru handed over. What she had just said was just a joke.

"Don't want it? If you don't want it, I'll put it away."

Orochimaru pretended to take the money.

"Who, who said I don't want it!"

Tsunade snatched the money from Orochimaru's hand, hummed with satisfaction, and stuffed the money into her deflated wallet.

"Come on, let's go find that pervert Jiraiya."

Tsunade said through gritted teeth, thinking of where Jiraiya had gone, she didn't want to go find him.

"Ah."

Orochimaru nodded and the two of them walked down the street.

"How dare you force your beautiful sister? I, Jiraiya-sama, will never allow it!"

"what……"

Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at each other as they heard Jiraiya's powerful shout coming from the hotel.

"You! You!"

Jiraiya rushed into the room and took in the unbearable scene. His confident, cheerful, and reassuring smile froze. He saw the beautiful older sister he had been longing for, holding a small whip, and the strange old man hanging nearby, his body covered in many whip marks. What had happened was completely contrary to what he had imagined.

"Who let you in!"

The woman holding the whip looked at Jiraiya, and the whip in her hand made a snapping sound.

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

Jiraiya let out a terrified scream.

After a chaotic commotion, Jiraiya, with a bruised face, walked behind Tsunade and Orochimaru, saying indignantly, "What? So you're playing a special game! The adult world is so filthy!"

Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

-------------------------------------

Orochimaru's home has changed a lot compared to before. There are now tools for making military pills and a medicine cabinet in the house.

"We've achieved some results in improving the formula of the Bōryōgan, but it still needs to be refined. Compared to the current Bōryōgan, the finished Bōryōgan will have enhanced effects and reduced side effects. As a necessity for ninjas on missions and during wartime, reducing side effects is paramount. This is a test product."

Orochimaru placed a bag of improved Bingliangmeng on the table. As Danzo Shimura was her angel investor, she naturally wanted to let him see her results.

"Yes, I will convey your words to Danzo-sama."

The Root Ninja put away the food pills.

"Please tell Danzo-sama that in order to completely improve the formula of the Hyōryōgan, I need to purchase more medicinal herbs."

"Yes."

The Root ninja nodded and disappeared.

Seeing the root ninja leave, Orochimaru picked up a freshly made soldier food pill, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, feeling the changes in his body.

The spirit becomes excited, and physical strength and chakra are recovering rapidly. Its effect is twice that of ordinary soldier pills, and the side effects are half of ordinary soldier pills.

It was not difficult for Orochimaru to improve the original formula of the Hyoliang Maru. With the use of shadow clones, the research speed was doubled, and the improvement of the Hyoliang Maru formula was completed in just a few days.

It must be said that the book sent by Danzo Shimura benefited her a lot, and improving the formula of Bingliangwan was just a piece of cake.

She not only improved the formula of Bingliang Pills, but also improved the taste of Bingliang Pills without affecting the effect.

If we continue the research, we may be able to make a popular tonic, for example, one that can enhance certain abilities, which will surely be very popular among men.

The reason why the finished product was not handed over directly to Danzo Shimura is naturally well-known.

If she handed the finished product to Danzo Shimura, how could she get funding from him?

It takes a long time. Shimura Danzo wants to win her over and make a name for himself with her achievements. How can he not pay more money?

Training Ground Zero Underground Base

"very good."

Danzo Shimura listened to his subordinates expressing their feelings after taking the Hyouliang Pills with the improved formula of Orochimaru, and was very satisfied with the improved Hyouliang Pills.

As a necessity for ninjas, he had already imagined the impact that the appearance of the new type of military pills in the village would have.

All the ninjas and villagers of Konoha will remember me, Danzo Shimura!

It was me who funded Orochimaru to improve the formula of the Hyoliang Maru. Without me, Danzo Shimura, there would be no new Hyoliang Maru!

When Danzo Shimura thought about how popular he would be in the village, and whether he could even compete for the next Hokage, the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, which was harder to suppress than an AK. He didn't want to smile in front of his subordinates, so the expression on his face became a little distorted and weird.

With Orochimaru's abilities, even if she doesn't join the Root, I might need her help in the future...

Danzo Shimura decided to play the role of an elder well.

Volume 27: Chapter Unique Ninja Tools

Konoha, a ninja village built in a natural shelter formed by forests and rock walls, is more like a prosperous town than a ninja village.

Orochimaru left the Hokage Building and walked on the street. The street near the Hokage Building was the busiest and most popular.

Has it been over a year already?

Orochimaru paused, looking at the shops and people on both sides of the street, touching the electric poles on the roadside. He felt a very strong sense of disconnection, as if he was floating outside the world, not belonging here, and yet living here...

Fantasy yet real.

To be honest, she didn't have a strong sense of belonging to Konoha. It felt like a wanderer working away from home who had no sense of belonging to the city where he worked.

Orochimaru's memory only goes back to these few years, and his memories of his infancy are so vague that he can't remember them clearly. His souls have merged, but Orochimaru's memory is really not enough compared to the vast memory of the other soul over those decades.

When it comes to being a ninja, Orochimaru defines himself as just a worker.

She was killed for a mission that didn't make much money. She didn't kill the person who killed her. That person was lucky.

What do you mean a ninja who fails to complete his mission is a scumbag? I'll go to hell with your spiral fart of the Sage of Six Paths!

In Orochimaru's view, the relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire is more like that of mercenaries and employers.

The Fire Nation allocates funds to Konoha to train ninjas, and Konoha is responsible for the security of the Fire Nation. The daimyo has the right to propose the Hokage of Konoha, that is, the daimyo proposes the candidate for Hokage and the villagers vote.

It seems that I am still too idle. When I am idle, I will think about some boring things.

Orochimaru quickened his pace and saw a boy with thick eyebrows who was very eye-catching in the crowd. He was wearing a unique green jumpsuit.

Matt Dai?

Might Guy's father...is he still attending the Ninja School?

This is really a sportswear that is passed down from generation to generation...

Orochimaru withdrew his gaze and went to the Ninja Tool Street. She wanted to buy some steel wires that matched her chakra. The slight difference in the material of the steel wire would result in different degrees of compatibility with the ninja's chakra.

Green vests are not seen in the current Konoha. In the original work, the green vests worn by Chunin and above seemed to have officially appeared before the Third Ninja World War. In the Second Ninja World War, everyone wore armor.

Ninja Tool Street is a place frequented by Konoha ninjas. There are many ninja tool shops selling various ninja tools. Kunai, shuriken, fuma shuriken, large shuriken, as well as kusarigama, chakra swords and other commonly used weapons for ninjas can be bought here.

Exploding tags, smoke bombs, and flash bombs are essential ninja tools in every ninja tool shop.

So expensive...

Orochimaru held the scroll in his hand and looked at the price, secretly shocked. Even though she had received a lot of money from the angel investor Danzo Shimura, she still felt the pain in her heart when she saw the price of the scroll made of special paper that could store chakra and be used as a storage scroll to seal some items.

Expensive, so damn expensive!

No wonder everyone says Tiantian is a rich woman. If she is not a rich woman, who can afford to use this kind of scroll?

Orochimaru looked at the smiling clerk and bought two scrolls, 100 meters of steel wire that matched his chakra, 10 detonating tags, 5 smoke bombs, 20 kunai, and 50 shurikens.

One hundred meters of steel wire may seem like a lot, but it is actually just a small roll. It has many uses in battle, whether it is used in conjunction with ninjutsu or to set traps. It is a very convenient ninja tool.

“Thank you for your patronage!”

The shop assistants have sincere smiles, and it's rare to meet big customers.

"Come again next time!"

The store manager also had a smile on his face. There were so many ninja tool stores on Ninja Tool Street. Only if they were more humble and had a better attitude would customers come back to buy ninja tools.

Orochimaru put away the ninja tools he had purchased, took out a blueprint and placed it on the table. He asked, "Manager, how long will it take to customize these parts?"

"Let me see."

The store manager picked up the blueprint and looked at the strange-shaped parts on it. There was a tube that looked like a blowgun, and the strange thing was why there were threads in the tube?

What is this spring used for?

What is this little thing for?

As the manager of this store and also the craftsman who makes ninja tools, at this moment, he looked at the blueprint with a face full of question marks, and looked at Orochimaru, wanting to say, "Are you trying to trick me?" But seeing Orochimaru's very serious expression, he thought that he wanted to make unique ninja tools.

Ninjas always have some weird ideas.

"What materials do you need?"

"The materials for the chakra sword. I hope all the parts can match my chakra. I'm sure you can see that I want to make a unique ninja tool."

Orochimaru said with a small smile.

After testing some materials for making chakra swords, Orochimaru found the material that matched his chakra.

The store manager gave a delivery date of one week, and Orochimaru left the ninja tool shop after leaving a deposit.

Orochimaru wanted to make a pocket pistol by custom-making parts, and as for the pistol bullets, she could only make them by hand.

This thing was not made for frontal combat. It is mainly used to catch the enemy by surprise and kill them with one blow when they are off guard. The pistol is made of materials that match her chakra. The speed is enough to throw away kunai and shuriken ten blocks away. Even a Kage-level strongman may be seriously injured or even killed if he is negligent.

Of course, this thing will only have the best effect the first time it is used, and Orochimaru uses it as a life-saving trump card.

She could only slowly research more powerful firearms, as she couldn't remember the blueprints for those things. However, it was not difficult to make a more powerful firearm after making a pocket pistol. It just took some time.

Orochimaru was very clear that he and Danzo Shimura had a mutually beneficial relationship. If they ever fell out, she would raise her hand and shoot him to see the First and Second Hokage, and then run away.

After killing Hokage's assistant Danzo Shimura, he definitely couldn't stay in Konoha anymore.

While Orochimaru was getting research funds from his great enemy, no, from the angel investor Danzo Shimura, he also prepared for the worst.

At the same time, Danzo Shimura, who was in the underground base, felt a chill in his head for some unknown reason, as if his imagination was about to explode at any moment.
