Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"I'm... so sorry!"

Orochimaru sat up straight with an obedient look on his face.

Volume 48: Chapter Orochimaru's Laboratory

As autumn turned to winter, a heavy snowfall caused the temperature in the Fire Nation to plummet, and everything was covered in white snow.

The caves where the Ibri people lived were now lit with warm lights, no longer dark and damp, and the cold was kept out.

Deep in the cave, there is a secret passage that can only be opened by triggering a mechanism. The entrance to the laboratory that Orochimaru spent a lot of money to build is in the secret passage, which is also connected to three emergency escape exits.

This is the escape exit built by Qinghe at the suggestion of Orochimaru. If the Ibri clan is attacked by the enemy one day, they can lure the enemy into the secret passage, escape through the emergency escape exit, and then activate the trap in the secret passage to send those enemies to hell in advance.

"Lord Orochimaru, are you satisfied?"

Qinghe saw Orochimaru walking around the laboratory without saying a word, with a look of uneasiness on his face, and thought something was wrong.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Orochimaru looked at the scientific research equipment in the laboratory. Considering that she currently had no better means of defense against illusions, visual illusions were more difficult to guard against than musical illusions, and she would be easily caught inadvertently. Musical illusions were not common in the ninja world, and the only ninjas living in the Land of Rice were the Death Rhythm Clan.

Orochimaru guessed that most of Orochimaru's subordinates in the original work were from the Death Rhythm clan. Even in the late stage, the Music Illusion Magic Sound Lock could be effective against Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi when used by Kabuto Yakushi.

"Qinghe, based on the test data obtained from Chiri Yu, I have improved the formula of the medicine." Orochimaru took out a bag of stabilizing pills and the formula and handed it to Qinghe, "Take one every seven days. You can also take it when you feel your bloodline limit is out of control."

"Lord Orochimaru, you..."

Qinghe held the bag of stabilizing pills and the formula in his hands, his hands shaking uncontrollably. He never expected that Lord Orochimaru would give him the formula directly. This was a great trust that he had in their Ibri clan!

Not only did he give them the formula that he had developed at great expense, he also built a laboratory underground in where their clan lived.

"Qinghe, I believe in you, just as you believe in me. You didn't doubt me because of my young appearance. You believed that I would bring you hope."

Orochimaru smiled when he saw Qinghe was so moved that tears were streaming down her face. She had considered that the Ibri clan might betray her.

If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyalty. If the Ibri tribe betrays her trust, she will only use the Ibri tribe as a tool that can be discarded at any time.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Ibri clan will never betray your trust!"

Qinghe knelt on one knee. At this moment, Orochimaru's petite figure became extremely majestic in his eyes.

"Qinghe, write down the formula and then destroy it. If it falls into the hands of others, your Ibri clan will be in a very disadvantageous position."

Orochimaru reminded that once the formula of the stabilization pills was leaked, the Ibri clan would be the most affected, as some of the medicinal ingredients in the stabilization pills were not so easy to buy.

Once someone deliberately targets them, they can be made to submit by starting with the medicinal herbs.

"I understand, Orochimaru-sama."

Qinghe looked at the recipe in his hand, imprinted it firmly in his mind, wrote down the recipe and then destroyed it.

"Qinghe, I need you to arrange for manpower to go to Wave Country to build a processing plant."

Orochimaru took out the formula of the skin care product and gave it to Qinghe.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is..."

Qinghe looked at the skin care formula in his hand. Forgive him, a rough old man, for not being able to understand it. Even the women in the tribe might not be able to understand it. They have lived in caves for a long time and rarely have contact with the outside world. They may not even know what cosmetics are, let alone skin care products.

"The processing plant produces and sells the products, and I need funds for my research."

Orochimaru considered many countries for building a processing plant. After much deliberation, he decided that the Wave Country, which had not yet built a bridge and was very poor, was more suitable for building a processing plant.

Although the people of Bo may be relatively simple and honest, and some people come to the processing factory to beg for money due to poverty, the people she arranges to go there are also no pushovers.

After the Ibri clan's bloodline limit is controlled, physical attacks cannot hurt them. What they fear most is wind ninjutsu. Powerful wind ninja can blow them away in the smoke state, but it is difficult to kill them.

As for blowing away...

Orochimaru, who had conducted experiments on Chisato, was sure that after the Ibri clan took the stabilization pill, they would not be blown away and killed by the wind jutsu, unless it was the wind jutsu of a Kage-level warrior. But in the ninja world, Kage-level warriors were rare, so how could one meet one just by chance?

Either it was multiple wind-style ninjas working together to perform wind-style ninja, or it was the Ibri clan members who were in a smoke state that could not be blown away.

Of course, there may be some individual cases, which are extremely small in probability, but cannot be ruled out.

The Land of Waves is a poor place, and the Daimyo is not a rich man. If a little bribe can keep him from causing trouble, that would be the best. If he dares to ask for an exorbitant amount, then use the bloodline limit to control him. If that doesn't work, then kill him and replace him.

"Lord Orochimaru, building a processing plant in Wave Country would be difficult with the manpower of our Ibri clan..."

Qinghe looked at Orochimaru hesitantly, with an expression of extreme embarrassment on his face.

"Qinghe, just hire the local people from Wave Country."

Orochimaru took out a plan that was as thick as a book and handed it to Qinghe. "Here is a detailed plan. If you follow it, there won't be any major problems."

As he spoke, Orochimaru took out a scroll and released the seal, and two suitcases appeared on the ground.

"This is the money to build a processing plant and produce products. Don't bother me unless you have something else to do."

"Please leave it to me, Lord Orochimaru!"

Qinghe solemnly put away the plan and skin care product formula, and left Orochimaru's laboratory with two suitcases.

Qinghe walked up the stairs, followed by lights on both sides. He flipped through the plan, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and he admired and respected Orochimaru even more.

Lord Orochimaru has thought about this in great detail!

Even hiring employees has been considered!

Qinghe looked at the plan and felt like he was a chess piece in the hands of Lord Orochimaru. All the roads ahead had been planned, and all he had to do was move forward.

No matter who you give the plan to, there will be no problem as long as they follow the instructions. Almost all aspects are taken into consideration, from the construction of the processing plant to the series of things after the construction of the processing plant is completed.

After distributing the stabilizing pills to the tribesmen, Qinghe selected suitable people from among them and personally led them to the Land of Waves to build a processing plant.

After taking the stabilizing pills, the Ibri people immediately felt changes in their bodies. They returned to their homes, took off their heavy protective clothing, and changed into normal clothes.

"Chief Qinghe, can I go with you to the Land of Waves? I wish to repay Lord Orochimaru's kindness."

Chiriyu did not rush home. He walked up to Qinghe and offered to go to the Land of Waves with her. He wanted to do more to repay Lord Orochimaru who changed the fate of their clan.

Qinghe patted Zhili Yu's shoulder and said, "Zhili Yu, when I'm not around, you will be the deputy clan leader. When Lord Orochimaru needs help, it's up to you."

"Chief Qinghe, please rest assured, as long as it is Lord Orochimaru's request, even if it is my life."

Chiri Yu said very seriously that he had already made up his mind when he agreed to conduct various experiments with Orochimaru.

After changing their clothes, everyone walked out of their homes with a relaxed look on their faces. They felt more relaxed than ever before, even more relaxed than before putting on protective clothing, as if something heavy that had been pressing on their bodies had been removed.

Volume 49: Chapter : Learning the Flying Thunder God Technique with an S-level difficulty

The changes that took place in the Ibri clan naturally did not escape the eyes and ears of Konoha's Anbu and Root. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo soon learned that Orochimaru had solved the Ibri clan's bloodline disease.

base of root

Orochimaru really solved the Ibri family's bloodline disease...

Danzo Shimura listened to his subordinates reporting on the situation of the Ibri clan, with his arms folded across his chest, thinking about whether to recruit the Ibri clan. Given the Ibri clan's bloodline limit, if he didn't recruit them, Sarutobi Hiruzen would go too.

If it weren't for the bloodline disease that even the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, couldn't cure, the Ibri clan would have long been a well-known ninja clan in Konoha.

He now has two choices. The first is to go directly to the Ibri clan and invite them to join Konoha and the Root, and serve Konoha with their bloodline limits.

But he had to consider Orochimaru's feelings. The talent Orochimaru showed was enough for him to consider and value her feelings, and go directly to the Ibri clan without her, the person who saved the Ibri clan.

This would obviously destroy Orochimaru's feelings for him. Shimura Danzo knew very well that feelings were easy to cultivate, but once destroyed, it would not be so easy to cultivate them again.

What's more, he is a genius with outstanding talents like Orochimaru.

Danzo Shimura doesn't want to be enemies with Orochimaru.

"Has the Hokage taken any action?" asked Danzo Shimura in a deep voice.

"Hokage-sama, I'm going to see Orochimaru," the Root ninja said truthfully.

boom--!

Danzo Shimura slammed the table and stood up. He was sure that Sarutobi Hiruzen went to find Orochimaru for the sake of the Ibri clan.

If the Ibri clan joined Konoha, Hiruzen would definitely not allow the Ibri clan to join the Root.

On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to Orochimaru's house and pressed the doorbell. He had to come because it was related to the Ibri clan.

Orochimaru opened the door and the smell of medicinal herbs wafted out of the house. Seeing that it was Sarutobi Hiruzen standing at the door, he knew very well why he came.

"Sarutobi-sensei, you are here for the Ibri clan, right?"

Orochimaru turned and walked into the house. Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the door and followed behind him. When he heard her words, he paused and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Look, Orochimaru, do you think the Ibri clan will join Konoha?"

The person who solved the Ibri clan's bloodline disease was Orochimaru. The only help Sarutobi Hiruzen provided in this matter was to hand over the research records of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, to Orochimaru. He felt ashamed to say this.

"Sarutobi-sensei, inviting the Ibri clan to join Konoha is such an important matter, why don't you go directly to the Ibri clan?"

Orochimaru poured himself a cup of medicinal tea and also poured a cup for Sarutobi Hiruzen. This was the medicinal tea she prepared, which could nourish the body and maintain the spirit.

"Teacher Sarutobi, please try this. This is the medicinal tea I prepared. It's good for your health."

"Orochimaru, it was you who helped the Ibri clan, not Konoha. Konoha did nothing, so how could they invite the Ibri clan to join?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the teacup handed to him by Orochimaru, looked at the leaves of the herbs floating on the water, picked it up and took a sip. Unexpectedly, the taste of this cup of medicinal tea was quite good, with a very refreshing feeling, which was completely different from the bitter taste of the medicinal soup in his impression.

“This tastes good!”

"Sarutobi-sensei, I don't like things that are too bitter. If you like this medicinal tea, I'll pack some for you to take away so you can drink it while you work."

Orochimaru smiled and took a sip of medicinal tea, then asked, "Sarutobi-sensei, when you invite the Ibri clan to join Konoha, are you representing yourself or Konoha?"

"I naturally represent Konoha, and this is also what the two advisors meant."

Before coming, Sarutobi Hiruzen had discussed with Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En that if the Ibri clan could join Konoha, it would greatly enhance Konoha's overall strength.

"If the Ibri clan agrees to join Konoha, then my contribution to Konoha will be great, right?"

"That's natural."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru, who seemed to be planning something, and had an inexplicable bad feeling. He just hoped that Orochimaru would not put forward too excessive conditions.

"Okay! Sarutobi-sensei, let me be frank. I want to go to the forbidden technique room and see the forbidden techniques inside!"

Orochimaru didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his conditions. She had long been coveting the forbidden techniques in the forbidden technique room.

"No, you can't read the forbidden techniques inside at your age!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he rejected Orochimaru's condition without thinking.

At Orochimaru's age, if he couldn't resist the temptation of forbidden techniques and went astray, he would have no place to cry.

"Tsk, then I want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique developed by the Second Hokage!"

Orochimaru compromised and proposed another condition, his cheeks puffed up slightly as he said angrily, "Sarutobi-sensei, if you refuse again, you'll have to go and talk about the Ibri clan yourself!"

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage. Apart from Lord Tobirama who developed the Flying Thunder God Technique, no one has ever mastered it, not even me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. Not only him, but also Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kagami, all of them who were members of Senju Tobirama's guard team had tried to learn it, but no one of them could master it.

From this we can see how difficult it is to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. It is well-deserved to be an S-level space-time ninjutsu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen speculated that to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, one not only needs extremely high talent, but also some special qualities.

"Orochimaru, are you sure you don't want to change the terms?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru, who rarely showed a childish look. He didn't want Orochimaru to waste this opportunity to make conditions.

It's a rare opportunity to be openly partial to someone, so it doesn't matter if the conditions are a little more extreme, except for going to the forbidden technique room.

"That's it."

Orochimaru decided not to change the conditions and said nonchalantly, "I won't blame Sarutobi-sensei if you can't learn it. After all, you haven't learned it either, Sarutobi-sensei."

"puff--!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen covered his mouth and almost spit out the medicinal tea in his mouth. He said helplessly: "Okay, I will send the scroll over."

The scroll of Flying Thunder God Technique is too important, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is not willing to hand it over to the Anbu. He will only feel at ease if he hands it over to Orochimaru personally.

"Then it's settled! I'll help you convince the Ibri clan to join Konoha."

Orochimaru said with a smile on his face. She knew that Sarutobi would never agree to her request to go to the Forbidden Technique Room. The reason she asked for it was to pave the way for the Flying Thunder God Technique, which is the skylight effect.

First make an unreasonable request, and then make a more reasonable request. Then the reasonable request is likely to be accepted. This is the skylight effect.

The entire Ibri clan joined Konoha? That was impossible. There would definitely be some people who didn't want to join Konoha. And whether they joined Konoha or not, they were all her people. She wouldn't lose out either way.
