Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Orochimaru, who was sitting stiffly in Uzumaki Mito's arms.

Who am I and where am I? Why am I sitting in Mito's arms?

At this moment, Orochimaru had not yet recovered from the confusion of why he was sitting in Uzumaki Mito's arms, with a dazed expression on his face as if he had returned to heaven.

"Is now the time to be distracted?!"

Tsunade's fists hardened, and she reached out and pinched Orochimaru's cheek, calling back her soul that had run away to who knows where.

"Ah... ah?"

When Orochimaru came to his senses, he found that everyone was staring at her. He asked embarrassedly, "Have you reached a conclusion?"

"Orochimaru, Danzo has agreed to hand over the formula to the Akimichi clan. What do you need?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a light cough.

"I heard that the Akimichi clan's secret family technique is to change the nature of Yang's chakra..."

"impossible!"

Akimichi Qufeng thought that Orochimaru wanted the Akimichi clan's secret family technique, so he refused with a bad look on his face, "The Akimichi clan's secret family technique cannot be handed over to you, Orochimaru."

The family secret technique is the foundation of their secret ninjutsu family and it is impossible to pass it on to others under any circumstances.

"No, Mr. Qufeng, you misunderstood me. What I want is the experience of Yang's chakra nature changes. I believe that the experience accumulated by your Qiudao clan's ancestors will enable me to have a deeper understanding of Yang's chakra nature changes."

Orochimaru shook his head and said that she had no interest in the Akimichi clan's secret family techniques. Ever since she came up with the idea of improving the formula of the Hyōryōmaru, she had been eyeing the Akimichi clan's understanding of the changes in the nature of Yang's chakra, the experience accumulated by their ancestors.

If her plan goes smoothly, not only will she be able to gain the knowledge of the Akimichi clan, but she will also be able to obtain a large amount of funds from Shimura Danzo. It is a plan that kills two birds with one stone.

"Is this enough?"

Akimichi Tofu looked at Orochimaru in surprise. It was not that her request was too excessive, but that her request was too simple. It was so simple that for the Akimichi clan, it was like getting the new recipe for the Heiliang Pills without paying anything.

Unlike the recipe of the Hyoliang Pills that is almost known to everyone in the ninja world, the Akimichi clan must keep the recipe of the new Hyoliang Pills firmly in their hands. Even if ninjas from other ninja villages obtain the new Hyoliang Pills, it will take a lot of time and money to research the recipe.

"The new Hyouryoku Maru will have 10% of the profits go to Orochimaru. Do you have any objections?"

Uzumaki Mito, who had been silent the whole time, spoke slowly, with an unquestionable tone in his words.

"10% profit..."

Akimichi Tofu was a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to refute Uzumaki Mito. When he was about to agree, he heard Orochimaru's words.

"I will assist the Akimichi clan in improving the production process of the Bingliang Pills. This will further reduce the cost of the Bingliang Pills."

Orochimaru did not let go of the benefits that Uzumaki Mito had obtained for himself, and continued to make profits through the Hyōryōmaru. She had thought about it but rejected it, mainly because it was difficult for her to get a share of this cake.

She has to thank Tsunade and Grandma Mito for this. With the profit from the 10% Hyōryōmaru, she can have her own laboratory much earlier.

"10% profit, no problem!"

Akimichi Qufeng quickly agreed, fearing that Orochimaru would go back on his word. He would not look down on her just because of Orochimaru's young age.

Soon, under the witness of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha high-ranking officials Utane Koharu and Mito Kado Homura, Danzo Shimura, Orochimaru and Akimichi Tofu signed the contract.

"Mr. Qufeng, this is the recipe for Bingliang Pills."

Orochimaru took out the recipe of the Bingliang Pill and gave it to Akimichi Tofu.

"Orochimaru, I will send someone to deliver what you want as soon as possible."

Akimichi Tofu solemnly put away the new recipe for the Hyōryōmaru. The contract clearly stipulated that Orochimaru could not give the recipe to anyone else, which meant that she had to make it herself.

The meeting was over. After saying goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, Orochimaru was pulled by Tsunade to follow Uzumaki Mito, and his intention to protect her was not too obvious.

In response to this, Uzumaki Mito smiled. She had always had a good impression of Orochimaru, and this matter would only benefit Konoha and not harm it. In the end, Orochimaru had made contributions to Konoha, so naturally she liked Orochimaru even more.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, who was like a victorious little swan beside him, and had an inexplicable premonition that Tsunade would definitely become the biggest obstacle for her to escape with the bucket in the future.

Orochimaru was pulled out of the Hokage Building by Tsunade and saw people from the Yamanaka clan and the Nara clan. They seemed to be off-site hangers-on who were giving advice to Akimichi Touka.

Among the three tribes of Ino, Deer, and Chou, the Nara tribe sells medicinal herbs, the Akimichi tribe sells medicine, and it seems that only the Yamanaka tribe has almost all its members working in Konoha to earn money and has no additional source of income.

The Yamanaka clan, who are born with strong mental powers, also have a family secret technique evolved from Yin Dun, which allows them to read the memories of captives and have extraordinary perception abilities.

The barrier team and the intelligence team are the most suitable jobs for the mountain clan.

In the original novel, the Yamanaka Ino family runs a flower shop, but this does not mean that other members of the Yamanaka family also run flower shops.

With the ability of the Yamanaka clan, Konoha could not fail to pay attention to it. No, the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans were equally important in Konoha, and the three clans had always been in a relationship of shared prosperity.

After all, this matter involves not only the Akimichi clan, but also the medicinal materials tycoon Nara clan. The Yamanaka clan, who are old friends with the two clans, cannot fail to help.

The ninja world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about connections and background.

Volume 37: Chapter : Goodwill

After the distribution of profits was completed, Sarutobi Hiruzen called Danzo Shimura to the Hokage's office.

"Huruzen, you're worried about the new Hyouryoku Maru after it's announced."

After all, they were old friends who had worked together for many years, and Danzo Shimura guessed why Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking for him.

"That's right. Once the new Bingliang Pills are announced, the spies hidden in Konoha will probably be restless."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit the tobacco in his pipe, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke. "Danzo, you can't be unaware of the importance of Orochimaru's research results to Konoha. I really hope that peace can last forever, but that is impossible. The ninja villages of various countries will not allow Konoha to become stronger."

It was only a matter of time before the news of the Hyōryōmaru spread throughout the ninja world. Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the spies hiding in the village.

"Do you need Root to assist the Anbu? I understand."

Danzo Shimura was aware of the seriousness of the matter. While Konoha was sending spies to ninja villages in various countries to obtain intelligence, didn't the ninja villages in various countries also send spies to Konoha?

Konoha is not a monolithic entity, and countless rebellious ninjas and traitors have been executed in secret.

Once the Akimichi clan announces the new Hōryōmaru, it will inevitably cause an uproar and spread throughout the ninja world in a short period of time.

"So, as Orochimaru, the one who improved the formula of the Hyouryokugan, what should be done about her safety?"

Danzo Shimura has no objection to eliminating the spy, but Orochimaru, who improved the formula of the Hyōryōgan, is very important to the village.

"I will order the Anbu to protect her in secret."

Sarutobi Hiruzen considered this issue and decided that ordering the Anbu to protect Orochimaru in secret would be the safest option.

"I suggest keeping Orochimaru protectively hidden."

Shimura Danzo's view is different from Sarutobi Hiruzen's. What if someone kidnaps Orochimaru? With Orochimaru's talent, once other ninja villages know about it, who knows how many people will want to recruit her for their own use.

"Danzo, are you sure Orochimaru would agree?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo Shimura. Based on his understanding of Orochimaru, she was not someone who would be manipulated by others.

"It's an emergency. For her safety, she will agree."

Shimura Danzo said arbitrarily, "Why not hide in the Root base and find her some more ninjutsu scrolls? I believe she will be very willing to do so."

(Orochimaru: Lord Danzo, you are really good at judging people.)

"Danzo, go tell Mito-sama that if you can convince him, I will agree to your proposal."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to argue with Danzo Shimura about this matter, so he directly brought up Uzumaki Mito, the big Buddha who could suppress Danzo Shimura so that he couldn't jump.

"..."

Danzo Shimura was speechless. He had no confidence in convincing Uzumaki Mito. What's more, Tsunade, the first Hokage and Uzumaki Mito's granddaughter, was also a disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen and had a close relationship with Orochimaru.

The Akimichi clan announced a new Bingliang pill, emphasizing that the new Bingliang pill is twice as effective as the ordinary Bingliang pill and has one-fifth of the side effects.

It is explained that the person who improved the formula of the Hyorogan was Orochimaru, and the person who funded Orochimaru was Danzo Shimura.

The new Bingliangwan caused a sensation in Konoha as soon as it appeared!

What is Bingliangwan?

Those are essential medicines and emergency rations for ninjas when they are on missions, and they are pills that can save lives in critical moments!

The spies hidden in Konoha took action and passed on the information in various ways.

In just a few days, the Anbu and Root ninjas captured many spies.

In the Akimichi clan's ancestral home, Orochimaru observed how the Akimichi clan made Bingliangwan in the clan's workshop. He spent several days improving the production process of Bingliangwan, increasing the utilization rate of medicinal materials, reducing the waste of medicinal materials, and effectively reducing costs.

After learning what Orochimaru had done for their clan, the Akimichi clan looked at her with friendly eyes. To protect her safety, they called on the Nara clan and the Yamanaka clan for help, so that Orochimaru would not be abducted in the Akimichi clan territory...

That would be equivalent to rubbing the Akimichi clan's face on the ground.

The Nara clan and the Yamanaka clan also have a very friendly attitude towards Orochimaru. If their previous favorability was average and not familiar, then now their favorability has soared directly to friendly.

Not to mention, someone actually chose to sneak into the Akimichi clan's territory late at night, wanting to kidnap Orochimaru under the cover of darkness, but was controlled by the shadow imitation technique as soon as he landed.

"What? Exposed!"

The man in the black robe was horrified and cold sweat ran down his face.

"Double Human Bomb Tank!"

Two meat bomb tanks crashed into him from the left and right, and without even a scream, the people who wanted to kidnap Orochimaru fainted.

In front of the crystal ball, Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing pajamas, smoking a pipe, and watching everything that happened in the Akimichi clan's territory through the crystal ball. A smile appeared on his face, and he looked forward to Orochimaru's future growth more and more.

Sarutobi Biwako, who was standing aside, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a hint of resentment in his eyes, as if some need had not been met.

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

When Orochimaru left the Akimichi clan, the hospitable people of the Akimichi clan stuffed her with a lot of snacks as she walked out of the Akimichi clan's territory. As if they were afraid that she would not have enough to eat, they also gave her a lot of discount coupons and vouchers from barbecue restaurants.

It seems that the Akimichi clan's way of expressing goodwill is to share their snacks.

Orochimaru stood in front of the gate of the Akimichi clan's territory with a dazed expression on his face. In his arms was a thick stack of discount coupons and vouchers from a barbecue restaurant. On his back was a cloth bag that was much taller than him. The snacks in his hands kept falling down. He slowly turned his head to look at the family crest on the gate, which seemed to be the word "food". He lowered his head to look at the snacks at his feet, and then glanced at the heavy cloth bag on his back.

You don't want me to be the same size as you, do you?

There was a flash of horror in Orochimaru's eyes. She thought she had discovered the true purpose of the Akimichi clan.

What a headache...

Orochimaru looked at the snacks on the ground. They were all gifts from other people, so it would be inappropriate to just leave them there. He couldn't call the Anbu who were secretly protecting her to help.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Orochimaru put down the snacks and cloth bag in his arms, formed seals with his hands, and two shadow clones appeared beside him.

"Please."

Orochimaru said to his shadow clone while carrying the cloth bag.

"Ah."

"Leave it to us."

The two shadow clones nodded, picked up the snacks on the ground, and followed Orochimaru.

On the way home, Orochimaru and his two shadow clones were surrounded by passers-by, and even the Uchiha police force was alarmed.

The Uchiha Police Force arrived and saw the shocking cloth bag Orochimaru was carrying. The captain of the four-man team stepped forward and asked, "I am Uchiha En, the captain of the sixth team of the Uchiha Police Force. May I ask what this is..."

"Hello everyone from the Uchiha Police Force, I'm Orochimaru, and these snacks were given to me by the Akimichi clan."

Orochimaru held the cloth bag in both hands and looked up at the Uchiha police force. He thought of something, and with two bangs, his shadow clones turned into smoke and disappeared, and snacks were scattered all over the ground.

"what……"

Orochimaru looked at the snacks scattered on the ground and looked at the police for help. "I heard that the police are kind people who are very willing to help their fellow villagers. Can you help me?"

Good...good guy?!

The four of them looked at each other in bewilderment. They were the ones who were always feared and excluded for maintaining law and order in the village. When had they ever been praised as good people?

This was the first time this had happened, and being praised by such a lovely girl made me feel suddenly better.

Volume 38: Chapter : Yang's Chakra Nature Changes

The four members of the Uchiha Police Force's Sixth Squad, Captain Uchiha En and another person were carrying a huge cloth bag, and the other two were holding snacks and following behind Orochimaru. They attracted strong attention from passers-by along the way.

In the hearts of the villagers, the Uchiha police force has always been arrogant and disdains to talk nonsense with them. No matter what happens, they just catch people and leave without saying a few more words. It can be said that they are very inhumane.

But now, what they saw was completely different from what they had imagined.

"No way, they're that arrogant Uchiha police force?"

"Is this true? Am I dreaming?"
