Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

She has a very close relationship with the Ibri clan who joined Konoha, so it should be okay for them to visit each other often, right?

The person who solved the Ibri clan's bloodline disease was Orochimaru. She was the benefactor who saved the Ibri clan!

If I run away one day, and the Ibri run away with me, that wouldn't be a problem, right? It makes perfect sense, right?

Thinking of this, the smile on Orochimaru's face became a little more cunning.

Why does it seem like Orochimaru is very happy?

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt like he had been fooled.

I seem to have forgotten something...

Inviting the Ibri clan to join Konoha, what level of task is this?

Orochimaru suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about this. If not an S-level mission, it must be an A-level mission!

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes changed when he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Sarutobi teacher..."

"Orochimaru, I have something important to take care of."

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Orochimaru to prevent her from making more excessive demands. He could see that Orochimaru was not only a money-grubber but also had a great curiosity about unknown things.

This can be seen from the research she has done. She studies whatever she is interested in.

No, we need to increase security in the forbidden technique room and send more people to patrol.

Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly made up his mind.

"whispering sound……"

Was it seen out?

Orochimaru didn't expect that before he finished speaking, Sarutobi teacher noticed her intention, "Sarutobi teacher, please wait a moment, I will prepare medicinal tea for you."

Isn’t it just the reward for an A-level mission?

Teacher Sarutobi is too stingy!

After all, he is the head of a village. Can't a Hokage be more generous?

No, I have to give you some more ingredients so that you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow!

Out of mischief, Orochimaru added some medicinal herbs that were beneficial to the body and could help restore his virility to Sarutobi Hiruzen's medicinal tea.

Aunt Biwako, no need to thank me, this is what I should do!

Volume 50: Chapter You’re making it difficult for me!

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of Orochimaru's house with a large bag of medicinal tea. Looking at the closed door, he recalled the expression on Orochimaru's face just now, an expression that seemed like he was expecting something.

What was Orochimaru expecting? The effects of the medicinal tea?

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think much about it and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Not long after he left, the Root ninja contacted Orochimaru in an extremely secret way.

Can't sit still?

The note in Orochimaru's hand turned to ashes, and he understood what Shimura Danzo meant through the code.

Thinking of the capabilities of the Ibri clan, she knew exactly what Shimura Danzo was worried about.

It seems that my dear teacher Sarutobi has put a lot of pressure on Lord Danzo!

A pile of reports appeared in Orochimaru's eyes. In just one day, the reports submitted from various places could be piled up into a small mountain.

Sarutobi Hiruzen used the excuse that Danzo Shimura was the Hokage's assistant and needed to share the Hokage's worries to send all the miscellaneous things to Danzo Shimura and ask him to deal with them.

Danzo Shimura couldn't refuse, since he was the Hokage's assistant.

Night, the base of roots.

Orochimaru came here with ease and met Danzo Shimura who was handling documents and reports. He kept stamping the documents with the seal in his hand.

"Orochimaru, you're here."

Danzo Shimura stopped moving, and the guard who was handing him the documents wiped the sweat from his face.

Shimura Danzo looked up at Orochimaru and asked, "Did Hiruzen give you the matter of the Ibri clan joining Konoha? This is a very important matter for Konoha."

"Danzo-sama, Sarutobi-sensei has entrusted me with the task of inviting the Ibri clan to join Konoha. This is also the intention of the two advisors."

Orochimaru had long guessed why Danzo Shimura was in a hurry to see him, and the facts were as she expected.

"Orochimaru, do you think the Ibri clan would be willing to join the Root and become unsung heroes in the darkness for Konoha?"

Danzo Shimura looked at the report and noticed the expression on Orochimaru's face.

"Lord Danzo, this may be difficult. If the Ibri clan agrees to join Konoha, they will not feel a sense of belonging to Konoha as soon as they join, nor will they regard Konoha as their home."

Orochimaru's words can be said to be very straightforward.

People have just joined Konoha and are being asked to sacrifice before they have settled down. This is outrageous. Not to mention the Ibri clan, any other ninja clan would be scared away.

Why would they be unwilling? They joined Konoha, which was their support and their home. Why would they be unwilling to pay for Konoha?

Shimura Danzo frowned and suppressed the urge to say this.

You can say this in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, in front of Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En, but you can't say it in front of Orochimaru.

"That would be a shame."

Danzo Shimura thought that the Ibri clan who joined Konoha had no sense of belonging to Konoha, and he could not use them, and neither could Sarutobi Hiruzen. He thought that their joining Konoha should be related to Orochimaru. After all, it was Orochimaru's research results that saved their clan.

"Danzo-sama, I think that if we give them enough time, and they consider themselves a member of Konoha and completely integrate into Konoha, then they will be willing to protect Konoha and our common home."

Orochimaru expressed his suggestion, but whether Danzo Shimura would listen to it was not within her consideration, as he was now being closely watched by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If the Ibri clan joined Konoha, they would definitely be strictly protected. If Shimura Danzo attacks the Ibri clan at this time, his position as Hokage's assistant might be over.

"I understand, Orochimaru. Thank you for your hard work."

Shimura Danzo never thought that one day he would be comforted by a little child. Clapping his hands, the Root ninja handed the scroll to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, I hope this scroll recording the Wind Release Ninjutsu can help you. Don't bury your talent."

Danzo Shimura had seen Orochimaru's talent in wind-style ninjutsu and didn't want her to bury it because of her obsession with research.

"Don't worry, Master Danzo, I won't waste my talent!"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he looked at the ninjutsu scroll and he accepted the scroll that recorded the wind-style ninjutsu.

This kid is really understanding.

A smile flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes.

My dear angel investor, you are making it very difficult for me!

Orochimaru was very conflicted when faced with Shimura Danzo who repeatedly gave her money and ninjutsu scrolls. If she didn't have a preconceived impression, she would have had a good impression of Shimura Danzo, a friendly and kind man.

Orochimaru thought about it and decided to try to see if he could stop Danzo Shimura from doing those bad things.

If she can't stop it, as long as she is not involved, she will not easily turn against Shimura Danzo, unless her bottom line is touched.

After all, no matter what his purpose was, Danzo Shimura was still good to her and never showed any desire to let her join the Root.

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

The cold wind blew, and tiny snowflakes fell down.

There was a layer of snow covering the Hokage Rock. The person in charge of clearing the snow was standing on a rope-controlled high-altitude lifting platform, holding snow-clearing tools in his hands and clearing the snow on the Hokage Rock, the most important and iconic existence of Konoha.

In the warm room of the Senju Mansion, Tsunade was lying on the windowsill with her chin supported by her hands. On the table was a deck of cards, two dice, and a scroll that showed signs of being opened. The word "Medicine" was written on the scroll.

"Hey! Let's go see what Orochimaru is doing!"

Tsunade thought of Orochimaru, quickly changed into winter clothes, put on a scarf and ran out.

"Grandma, I'm going out!"

Tsunade waved at her grandmother who was doing a facial with skincare products.

Seeing Tsunade like this, Uzumaki Mito shook her head helplessly, wondering why her granddaughter was like a tomboy. She had the boldness of a ninja, but none of the gentleness of a girl.

"Orochimaru, what are you going to do?"

Tsunade arrived at Orochimaru's door and saw Orochimaru walking out of the house.

"Go to the Ibri clan."

Orochimaru immediately noticed Tsunade's scarf which seemed to be tied in a knot around her neck, and couldn't help but reach out to untie the scarf around her neck.

"The Ibri clan? Ah! They're the ninja clan that lives in the forest near Konoha!"

Tsunade knew a little bit about the Ibri clan.

"Yeah, I'm going to invite them to join Konoha."

Orochimaru put a scarf on Tsunade.

"whee……"

Tsunade wiped her red nose, narrowed her eyes and grinned, pulling at her scarf and inviting, "Do you want to wear a scarf together?"

"No, that's stupid."

Orochimaru moved away from Tsunade, crossed his arms, and refused with both actions and words.

"Tsk! If you don't want to, forget it!"

Tsunade's cheeks puffed up slightly, she turned her head to the side and looked at Orochimaru out of the corner of her eye.

"Ah! A scarf is so warm! What a pity you don't have one."

Are you childish?

Orochimaru sighed helplessly as he listened to Tsunade's words behind him, which sounded more like an invitation than a boast.

Oh?

Orochimaru noticed a child standing beside a man with the Uchiha Police Force emblem on his shoulder. The child had a silly smile on his face and looked somewhat similar to her impression of Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku?

If this guy is castrated with drugs, what will happen to the Uchiha clan without Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke?

A very tempting idea suddenly came to Orochimaru's mind, but she quickly dismissed it.

Forget it, what does it have to do with me what happens to the Uchiha?

I'm not shameless enough to do something to a young child.

Volume 51: Chapter Inviting the Ibri Clan to Join Konoha

In the forest near Konoha, the snow was rustling as feet stepped on it. Orochimaru looked at Tsunade out of the corner of his eye, who was up to something, and saw that she was making a snowball.

"Orochimaru!"

Tsunade put her hands behind her back, ready to throw a snowball.

When Orochimaru heard Tsunade calling him, he turned around and tilted his head to avoid the snowball thrown by Tsunade.

"How did you know I was going to hit you with a snowball?"

Tsunade thought she was cautious enough, but was still discovered by Orochimaru.

"I've been paying attention to your movements. Besides, the sound of you making snowballs is so loud, how could I not hear it?"

Orochimaru said helplessly, he really couldn't help but notice it.

"Woo..."

Tsunade pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, her cheeks puffing out slightly.

"Orochimaru, look over there!"

……

"Orochimaru look!"

……

"Orochimaru, look what's in the sky!"

……
