Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"What's the matter? I'll tell you everything I know!"

When Jiraiya heard that Orochimaru had something to ask of him, he walked beside her with a smile on his face and glanced at the two people behind him, "What about them?"

"I think they're sleeping soundly."

"sleep?"

Jiraiya had a weird expression on his face and gave a dry laugh.

"You mentioned before that you were practicing Senjutsu Chakra at Myoboku Mountain. Can you tell me about that? What was it like to absorb natural energy? If you can't tell me, just pretend I never asked. There's no need to feel embarrassed, Jiraiya."

Orochimaru asked with interest, it is necessary to master the Sage Mode. She has no special bloodline and no bloodline limit. If she wants to make a qualitative change in her strength, it is necessary to practice the Sage Mode.

"There's nothing I can't say. It's a very tough training!"

Jiraiya clenched his fists and spoke with a sad face about how he applied toad oil on Mount Myoboku to sense and absorb natural energy. In order to increase credibility, he also told the embarrassing story of how he almost turned into a toad.

Natural energy... the energy that is everywhere on the planet. The sacred tree absorbs the natural energy of the planet and produces chakra fruits.

Whether it is the Sage Mode of Myoboku Mountain or the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, they both absorb natural energy. One has the characteristics of a toad, and the other has the characteristics of a snake.

Why do different changes occur when both absorb natural energy and refine fairy chakra? Is it because the methods of absorbing natural energy and refining fairy chakra are different?

So, what will the Sage Mode of Wet Bone Forest look like?

Orochimaru's mind flashed with a mask on Tsunade's face and her body secreting slime like a slug.

I seem to understand. Since it is also a place of inheritance, why Tsunade doesn’t learn the Sage Mode of Shitbone Forest.

Tsunade loves beauty, otherwise she wouldn't use chakra to keep herself young because she can't accept her aging.

No, rather than saying that Tsunade loves beauty, it would be better to say that all women love beauty.

Orochimaru sat at the table and paused his writing. Thinking of Tsunade's look when she looked at cosmetics before, his eyes lit up. He closed the notebook, changed to another one, and began to write quickly.

Women love beauty and are willing to spend a lot of money for it.

If I could use my medical knowledge to develop skin care products like lotions and masks...

The only trouble is that this business requires a caravan.

I need partners or subordinates who are loyal to me.

Orochimaru's mind flashed with Kakuzu, who would become Akatsuki's moneybag in the future. If he wanted to recruit such a powerful ninja who didn't recognize anyone in public, he could just convince him with money.

Of course, the premise is that he doesn't kill you in one encounter. He is not someone who is willing to listen to other people's nonsense.

If I don't have the strength, looking for Kakuzu will just mean I'm asking for death. I still need to improve my strength. I need to at least have the strength of a Jonin before I can start my plan to make money.

At present, while improving our capabilities, we are developing things that can make money first.

Orochimaru put down the last stroke, closed the notebook, and put it aside. He held his chin with one hand and looked at the framed photos on the table. One was a photo of her, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the other was a photo of Tsunade wearing a nurse's uniform.

How long can this peace last...

Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency when he thought of the Second Shinobi World War.

After living in this world for over a year, she had no sense of belonging to Konoha. As for the Will of Fire, it wasn't even a spark, let alone a small flame. But in times of war, she was still willing to contribute to Konoha.

Myoboku Mountain, the hidden village.

"Little Jiraiya, what did you bring back?"

Fukasaku used the reverse summoning technique to summon Jiraiya to Mount Myoboku and looked at the cloth bag in Jiraiya's hand curiously.

"Love-loving pills specially made for a cute girl!"

Jiraiya proudly held up the bag of military pills in his hand. With these military pills, he could find an excuse not to eat Sister Shima's insect dishes.

"Hyouliang Wan? How can something as unhealthy as that be as delicious as the food I cook?"

Shima stared at the Hōryōmaru in Jiraiya's hand with a bad look on his face.

"Sister Shima, it's not like I eat all the time..."

Jiraiya hid the Hyouryo Maru behind his back and said with a forced smile, "Actually, compared to eating Hyouryo Maru, Big Sister's cooking is more delicious!"

"is it?"

Zhima said with a smile, "Tonight is an all-insect feast! Eat to your heart's content!"

All... All-insect feast...

Jiraiya swallowed hard, his face turning green.

Volume 34: Chapter : Targeting the Akimichi Clan

"Orochimaru, the Chunin Exam is in a month. With the strength of you, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, you could have participated in the Chunin Exam a long time ago. What are your thoughts?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the book in Orochimaru's hand. He really couldn't understand it. He was okay with ninjutsu, but he couldn't get any guidance on anything other than ninjutsu. If he really had any problems, he would need Orochimaru to guide him.

"The Chunin Exams?"

Orochimaru calculated her age and realized that she was seven years old now. After her birthday, she could say she was eight years old. She didn't mind taking the Chunin Exam. With her strength, she was invincible among her peers.

"Jiraiya is still training at Myoboku Mountain. Can he catch up?"

Orochimaru remembered Jiraiya crying and complaining that he died from the insect dishes he ate at Myoboku Mountain. It was really miserable, but also really funny.

"According to the time, he should be back in Konoha soon."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about the pattern of Jiraiya's return to Konoha from Myoboku Mountain.

"I have no objection to taking the Chunin Exam, and Tsunade probably won't object either." Orochimaru put the book on his lap, "Sarutobi-sensei, with our strength, wouldn't it be a bit of a bully for us to take the Chunin Exam?"

Orochimaru knew very well that he, Tsunade, and Jiraiya had already surpassed the strength of Chunin, and to be honest, it was a bit of a bully to take part in the Chunin exam.

"I can't help it. I'd love to just appoint you as Chunin, but that's against the rules."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spread his hands helplessly. The opponents were randomly matched. If anyone met his disciples, they would be unlucky.

"Orochimaru, what do you think about the police force being too strict in enforcing the law?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly thought of the complaints received by the police force. On the one hand, the police force was impartial, and on the other hand, they were complaints from the villagers, and they could not ignore the complaints from the villagers.

"Sarutobi-sensei, there's nothing wrong with enforcing the law impartially."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and expressed his opinion. If the Uchiha police force abused their power and bent the law, Konoha's top leaders would have a headache. "The police force must be strict enough to effectively crack down on illegal activities in the village. They will consider the consequences before doing evil."

“What should we do if overly strict law enforcement leads to complaints from villagers?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again.

"My suggestion is to investigate whether the villagers who made the complaint have any connection to the people who were arrested. People who want to live a good life in the village don't want the village to be in chaos, and they won't shield troublemakers. Strict law enforcement can bring peace to the village. Although it may be a bit inhumane, it is better than letting troublemakers go without warning."

Orochimaru frowned at this point, pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "After all, this is something that Sarutobi-sensei, as the Hokage, should consider! Is it appropriate for you to ask a child like me for his opinion?"

“Young people have different views from older generations.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, he thought he was right to ask Orochimaru's opinion.

"whispering sound."

Orochimaru took out a Bingliang pill and threw it to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Teacher Sarutobi, this is a Bingliang pill with a modified formula. Please try it."

"Oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Hyouliangmaru in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He knew that Orochimaru had bought medicinal herbs from the pharmacy run by the Nara clan many times. He thought that if he didn't ask, Orochimaru would not tell him what she bought so many medicinal herbs for. He didn't expect that she would directly take out the finished products.

"Please rest assured, this is a finished product, a tested product. It is twice as effective as ordinary military ration pills, with one-fifth of the side effects."

Orochimaru had taken at least 10 million taels from Danzo Shimura, and she felt a little embarrassed for taking advantage of him, so she further improved the modified formula.

The stronger the efficacy of the Bingliang Pills, the greater the burden on the body. If you continue to use it, you will have to make a choice between enhancing the efficacy and the side effects.

Of course, before handing it over to Danzo Shimura, I have to inform my dear teacher Sarutobi first.

Sarutobi Hiruzen treated her well. The Hyoryo Maru, a strategic material that was very important to the village, also involved the Akimichi clan. Naturally, she didn't want Sarutobi Hiruzen to know about this matter afterwards.

She would feel guilty if she did that.

Of course, what she did was not considered as backstabbing Danzo Shimura. Sarutobi Hiruzen was her teacher. As a disciple, if she didn't show off her achievements in front of her teacher, who would she show off in front of?

"Side effects... one in five?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru in shock. If it were during wartime, with this kind of food pill, the ninjas of Konoha would be able to exert even greater combat power.

"Strictly speaking, the side effects are less than one-fifth of those of ordinary military ration pills..."

Orochimaru paused here and continued, "Sarutobi-sensei, you are aware of the side effects of the Bingliang Pills. I have tried many things, but I cannot completely eliminate their side effects. The stimulating effect of the Bingliang Pills is a burden on the body. In a sense, this is also a side effect. Being in a state of excitement for a long time will affect the brain."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the Bingliangwan into his mouth without hesitation and bit it into pieces. He said in disbelief, "Hmm, it tastes like sardine balls!"

After taking the Bingliang Pill, Sarutobi Hiruzen soon felt himself becoming excited. His body, which was originally a little tired from dealing with documents and reports, became full of energy.

“I also made some improvements to the taste.”

Orochimaru said with a smile, very satisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen's reaction. She had gone to Sarutobi Biwako in advance to inquire about Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite food, and then made the sardine meatballs.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with his hands, and with a bang, the smoke dissipated. Ten Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in Orochimaru's house, and the room, which was not very spacious to begin with, suddenly became narrow.

"Sarutobi-sensei, don't you feel crowded?"

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and his shadow clones with a hint of condemnation in his eyes.

"Yes... a little bit, hahaha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled awkwardly and released his shadow clone.

"So, Orochimaru, regarding the price of the Bingliang Pills."

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly thought of the price issue. If the price was too high, not all ninjas would be able to afford it, and he also had to consider the many Genin.

Feeling the recovery of his physical strength and chakra, Sarutobi Hiruzen could be sure that as long as there was no problem with the price, once Orochimaru's improved Bingliangwan appeared in Konoha, the Bingliangwan made by the Akimichi clan would be eliminated from Konoha's history.

"As for the price, since it requires a relatively expensive medicinal ingredient to neutralize and reduce the side effects, the cost is 50% higher than ordinary military ration pills."

Orochimaru paused here and continued, "After improving the production process, the cost can be reduced significantly, probably about 20% higher than ordinary Bingliang Pills."

"Twenty percent?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought the cost would skyrocket, but he didn't expect it to be 20% higher than ordinary Bingliang Pills. Now the Bingliang Pills of the Akimichi clan are completely finished. Even if the price of Orochimaru's improved Bingliang Pills is a little higher than ordinary Bingliang Pills, it will become the first choice of many ninjas.

However, the Akimichi clan...

The money earned by the Akimichi clan from selling Bingliangwan accounts for almost three-quarters of their income.

It is well known that everyone in the Akimichi clan is a foodie, not only because of the family secret technique, but also because they are naturally fat and generous and love to eat.

It is common sense and custom for Konoha's ninjas to carry military ration pills with them when they are on missions. They can not only serve as emergency food, but also as life-saving medicine at critical moments.

It can be seen how much money the Akimichi clan can make by relying on the Hyoryo Maru.

If the Akimichi clan lost their source of income...

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind flashed with the image of the Akimichi clan members who were as thin as a bolt of lightning, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead when thinking of this.

If that were to happen, no one would ever call the Akimichi clan fat pigs again...

If Orochimaru was not allowed to announce the improved Bingliangmaru, it would be too unfair to her. This was the result of her research, and he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Sarutobi-sensei, you seem distressed. Is it my research that's causing trouble?"

Orochimaru guessed what Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried about. It was nothing more than the income problem of the Akimichi clan. His research results appeared in the market of Konoha, and the military ration pills sold by the Akimichi clan would undoubtedly suffer a fatal blow.

Let me ask you, who would choose inferior products when there are better options?

It's not that Orochimaru looks down on the Akimichi clan's Bingliangwan, but their Bingliangwan is too simple and crude. She seriously doubts that those fat guys with good hearts and fat bodies have never thought of improving the formula of Bingliangwan.

What? Are there side effects?

What's wrong with the fight pill having side effects?

Who let you eat it?

It's really just living off the past.

"It's like this, Orochimaru. Konoha's military ration pills are all provided by the Akimichi clan. If your improved military ration pills appear in Konoha, the Akimichi clan will lose its largest source of income."

Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a moment and expressed his concerns in a deep voice. Orochimaru has always shown a maturity far beyond his peers. He believed that Orochimaru would understand what he was worried about.

Orochimaru said with difficulty, "Sarutobi-sensei, the funds for improving the formula of the Hyorogan were provided by Danzo-sama."

"what?!"
