Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth in shock, and his pipe fell from his hand. He never expected that Danzo Shimura would find an opportunity to contact Orochimaru right under his nose, and the funds for Orochimaru to improve the formula of the Hyōryōmaru were actually provided by Danzo Shimura.

"Sarutobi-sensei, Danzo-sama is the Hokage's assistant and is there to assist you. He should be aware of the importance of this matter."

There was a hint of confusion on Orochimaru's face, as if he couldn't understand why Sarutobi, the Hokage, was in such a difficult situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen bent down to pick up his pipe. He never expected that even though he was so defensive, Shimura Danzo still had a chance to contact Orochimaru. He said with a headache: "I will talk to Danzo about this matter."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru, who seemed to be in a bad mood, with a trace of self-blame in his eyes, and comforted him: "Orochimaru, your ability is unquestionable. The results of your research and development have contributed to Konoha. There is no need to feel guilty about it."

"I understand, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru nodded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very unhappy and left Orochimaru's house in a hurry.

Lord Danzo, please don't let me down!

Orochimaru's lips curled up into a determined smile. Her goal from the beginning to the end was very clear, to get funds from the angel investor Danzo Shimura while dragging the Akimichi clan into the water.

Bingliangwan is the lifeblood of the Akimichi clan!

Shimura Danzo: Coming at me again?

Volume 35: Chapter : Uzumaki Mito's Strong Appearance

At the Root base, Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had come here again and said dissatisfiedly: "Huruzen, this is not your office!"

"Danzo, Orochimaru showed me her research."

"Huruzen, what do you mean?"

Danzo Shimura's face darkened. Sarutobi Hiruzen had been causing trouble for him again and again. Even a clay man would have some temper, not to mention that he was not a person with a good temper.

Not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would even confront the daimyo.

"Konoha's Bingliang Pills are provided by the Akimichi clan. Orochimaru improved the Bingliang Pill formula with your financial support. The formula is shared by you and Orochimaru."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stated his purpose and also implicitly stated that he would not take the formula from Danzo Shimura.

Of course, Danzo Shimura couldn't take away things that belonged to his disciple, not even his old friend of many years.

"Are you worried about the Akimichi clan? Konoha has a lot of missions for ninjas, wouldn't it be nice to keep them busy? Besides, this kind of thing is your concern, Hiruzen, what does it have to do with me?"

Shimura Danzo said indifferently, what does it have to do with him what happens to the Akimichi clan?

The one who should have a headache is Sarutobi Hiruzen, not Shimura Danzo.

Of course, having said that, the recipe will eventually be given to the Akimichi clan. The Nara clan of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan is the supplier of medicinal materials for Konoha, and they are also old friends of the Akimichi clan.

The Akimichi clan can get medicinal materials from the Nara clan at a cheaper price. Even if it is for Konoha, handing over the formula to the Akimichi clan is the safest and best thing for Konoha.

However, he couldn't just hand over the formula, at least not now.

This would cheapen Orochimaru's research results and his efforts.

"I will inform Qufeng about this matter."

Seeing that Danzo Shimura was unwilling to give up the benefits he had obtained, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to use Akimichi to get the wind.

"Hiruzen, don't go too far!"

Danzo Shimura slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Sarutobi Hiruzen with fierce eyes.

"Danzo, I'm the Hokage, and I have to consider everyone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously, the two looked at each other tit for tat, neither of them wanted to give in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen added, "Danzo, this is for Konoha! The other clans will be watching how we handle this matter. Do you want to make the Hokage and the Konoha high-ranking officials lose their reputation?"

"..."

Danzo Shimura remained silent. Didn’t he help Orochimaru improve the formula of the Hyōryōmaru?

Danzo Shimura funded Orochimaru for the sake of Konoha, so how come in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, he became the culprit who caused the Hokage and Konoha's high-level officials to lose their reputation?

Shimura Danzo sneered and said, "Huruzen, you are too cunning. I can't provide the formula of the Hyōryōgan to the Akimichi clan for free. As the one who improved the formula of the Hyōryōgan, Orochimaru can't just hand over his research results without complaint and let a bunch of fat pigs reap the benefits!"

"Danzo, watch your words! The Akimichi clan is an important ninja clan in Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen glared and shouted harshly.

"Hiruzen, tell me what you want."

Danzo Shimura stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Let's have a meeting. The Konoha high-level officials, the Akimichi clan, and Orochimaru, come together to come up with a conclusion."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice that he could not make the decision on behalf of Orochimaru, and it was impossible for the Akimichi clan to take all the advantage.

Hokage Building, conference hall.

Akimichi Qufeng sat on a chair, looking at the people who had not yet arrived, and felt a little restless. The income from the Bingliangmaru was too important to the Akimichi clan. After knowing what the meeting was about, he had not eaten for more than two hours.

"Qu Feng, it's rare to see you like this."

Utane Koharu looked at Akimichi Tofu who was fidgeting restlessly.

"Hyouryokumaru is very important to the Akimichi clan."

Akimichi Norifu gave a bitter laugh in response to Utane Koharu's teasing. Who could have thought that Hiruzen's disciple had such terrifying talent at such a young age? What was originally a business that could make money even without doing anything was about to fail.

"Improving the formula of the Bingliang Pills is a good thing. You don't need to worry too much."

Mitomon En comforted him, saying that they were old friends for many years, so of course he would help him. However, Orochimaru was Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, and he had a close relationship with him. Moreover, Danzo Shimura was also involved in improving the recipe of the Hyōryōmaru.

For now, he can only help with language.

On the street near the Hokage Building, Tsunade looked at Orochimaru walking towards the Hokage Building, took a few quick steps and stood in front of her, with one hand on her waist and asked: "Orochimaru, what are you doing here?"

"Go to the Hokage building for a meeting regarding the recipe for the Hyōryōgan."

Orochimaru said truthfully, Sarutobi teacher didn't ask her to keep it a secret, so what if he told Tsunade?

Maybe something more interesting will happen.

"A meeting? Who's attending?"

Tsunade was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Orochimaru's improved formula of the Bingliang Pills would have such a big impact.

"Sarutobi-sensei, Danzo-sama, and the village leaders, there should be people from the Akimichi clan."

"You won't suffer any loss, will you?"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru with some worry. He looked easy to bully and would bully him silently.

I'll suffer a loss? How did you know?

Orochimaru didn't know what image Tsunade had of him. He couldn't be someone who was very easy to bully, right?

"With Sarutobi-sensei and Danzo-sama, nothing will happen." Orochimaru patted Tsunade's shoulder, "Tsunade, you worry too much."

Just from the fact that Akimichi Tofu was not a high-ranking official in Konoha in the original work, it can be seen that he is not a person who is keen on power.

What he wants is a wife, children, a warm bed, sleeping until he wakes up naturally every day, eating until he is full, and living a life like a pig.

Having said that, this seems to be the life that everyone in the Akimichi clan wants.

"Tsunade, let's talk after the meeting. I'm running late."

Orochimaru smiled slightly, walked past Tsunade, and quickly walked towards the Hokage Building.

Looking at Orochimaru's back, Tsunade became more and more worried that she would be bullied.

No, I have to tell grandma about this!

"Thunder Release: Thunder Extreme Moxibustion!"

Tsunade formed seals with her hands, her skin became even whiter and faintly flashed with lightning, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hokage Building

A heated debate was going on in the meeting room.

"Impossible, I can't give up the formula! Don't even think about it! I funded Orochimaru to improve the formula of the improved Bingliang Pills, so I have the final say on the formula!"

Danzo Shimura didn't expect that in this matter, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were actually in cahoots with Sarutobi Hiruzen, wanting him to hand over the formula for nothing so that they could be good people?

dream!

"Danzo, calm down. Don't misunderstand us. We are not asking you to give up the formula."

Mitomon En was puzzled to see Shimura Danzo so excited. Based on his understanding of Shimura Danzo, he shouldn't be like this!

The world of adults is so dirty!

Orochimaru listened to the adults' argument, picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a small sip, as if the heated argument had nothing to do with her.

Orochimaru, why don't you say something!

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo looked at Orochimaru who was drinking tea peacefully as if nothing had happened to him, and both wanted to pull her ears and force her to say something.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were very satisfied that Orochimaru did not make any inappropriate remarks. It was not her turn as a junior to speak in their discussion.

If they could deal with Danzo, the Akimichi clan would obtain the formula of Orochimaru's improved Hyouliangmaru. Even if the price increased slightly, the new Hyouliangmaru would become the most popular among the Konoha ninjas.

"Lord Mito, you... why are you here? The Hokage and the senior executives are having a meeting in the conference room. You..."

A troubled voice came from outside, followed by Uzumaki Mito's relatively friendly but unyielding voice.

"Really? I'm here to find Orochimaru. Are you sure you want to stop me?"

Uzumaki Mito smiled kindly.

"You still dare to stop my grandma?"

Tsunade walked forward and pushed open the ninja guarding the door.

Thank you, Princess Tsunade!

The ninja guarding the gate looked at Tsunade with eyes full of gratitude.

Uzumaki Mito walked forward, pushed open the door of the conference room, looked at everyone present and asked with a smile: "Did I disturb you?"

"Mi...Mito-sama! Why are you here?"

Everyone stood up and looked at Uzumaki Mito respectfully.

When Danzo Shimura saw Mito Uzumaki, there was a hint of fear and deep dread on his face.

"Mother Mito, why are you here?"

Orochimaru looked at Uzumaki Mito in surprise, who rarely went out on weekdays, and at a glance he saw Tsunade sticking her head out from behind her, sticking out her tongue and making faces at Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Konoha high-ranking officials.

Okay, I know what's going on.

Things developed slightly differently from what Orochimaru had expected. She thought Tsunade would join the meeting forcefully, but she was obviously smarter and knew that she would suffer a loss, so she called Uzumaki Mito over.

It is also possible that Tsunade simply did not think so much. Finding parents is a childhood-exclusive skill that almost all children have. As they grow older, some people will lose this skill, while others will retain it.

Volume 36: Chapter Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade walked over to Orochimaru, and Sarutobi Hiruzen hurried to get a chair.

"Need not."

Uzumaki Mito waved her hand, picked up Orochimaru and sat in her seat, then held Orochimaru in her arms.

? !

Everyone was shocked by Uzumaki Mito's actions. It was the first time they saw Uzumaki Mito express his love for a child so obviously. This was also telling them not to bully this child.

"I can just stand."

Tsunade stood behind Uzumaki Mito, her hands on her hips, a smug smile on her cute little face.

"Are you discussing the formula for Orochimaru's improved Bingliang Pills? Go ahead, I won't interfere with your decision."

Uzumaki Mito gestured for everyone to continue.

"Qufeng, the formula can be handed over to the Akimichi clan. I don't need the profits from the Bingliang Pills. What I want is for everyone in Konoha to know that the new Bingliang Pill formula was developed with my funding."

Danzo Shimura stated his reasonable demands, saying that he only spent so much money for his reputation and the talent of Orochimaru.

"However, my decision does not represent Orochimaru's decision. I hope you can listen to Orochimaru's thoughts."

Danzo Shimura doesn't mind doing a favor for Orochimaru in order to win more favor from him.
