Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Orochimaru wrapped himself tightly and walked to the barbecue restaurant with full of complaints. The purple scarf covered most of her face, making her look like an Anbu ninja, just short of wearing an animal mask.

Orochimaru opened the door of the barbecue restaurant, and the moment she walked in, a wave of heat mixed with the aroma of barbecue hit her in the face, almost making her fall over.

Looking around, Orochimaru found where Nara Matsuka and the others were and walked over quickly.

"Orochimaru, you're here!"

Nara Matsuka looked at Orochimaru who was walking towards him and waved his hand high.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Orochimaru saw that the meat on the charcoal grill was cooked. He untied his scarf, took off his coat and hung it up, then sat down next to Nara Matsuka. Noticing the expressions of Akimichi Haruto, Yamanaka Eiko, and Nara Matsuka, who were hesitant to speak, he said helplessly, "You guessed right. I provided the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company with the formula, and I take a cut of the profits."

"Orochimaru, then our store in Konoha..."

Yamanaka Eiko was very worried that she would not be able to sell skin care products in the future. She had finally managed to make a profitable business. If the products could not be produced by their three families of Pig, Deer and Butterfly, it would not be a bad idea to purchase them from the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

"Aunt Zhizi, Aunt Chundong, Sister Songxiang, don't worry about this. I already agreed with the company before signing the contract. You can continue to produce and sell White Snake brand skincare products, but you must ensure the quality of the products. And when the outer packaging of White Snake brand skincare products is updated, you must also follow up."

"That's what I said. Orochimaru is so smart, he must have considered this!"

Nara Matsuka said with a smile, feeling relieved. She had previously promised with confidence that Orochimaru would definitely consider it.

With her understanding of Orochimaru, she had long guessed that she would take all aspects into consideration, and told Yamanaka Eiko and Akimichi Haruto about it. They were worried that Orochimaru had forgotten, and it would be bad if the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company caused trouble for Orochimaru because of this.

Neither Akimichi Haruto, Yamanaka Eko, nor Nara Matsuka had ever thought that White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company was Orochimaru's industry.

"But there is one thing you must promise."

Orochimaru continued, the three of them looking at her, waiting for her next words.

"The White Snake brand skin care products you produce and sell are only allowed to be sold in Konoha. As compensation, I will give you priority when the skin care product formula is improved."

Orochimaru's words made it seem as if the Ino, Shika, and Chou families were taking advantage, but in fact, she still regarded Konoha as an experimental site.

If something happens in Konoha, it is still controllable. But if something goes wrong after the product is mass-produced, it will no longer be a question of whether it can be controlled or not. She will have to look for Doraemon's time machine in the drawer.

Because of this, the price of White Snake brand skin care products sold in Konoha is much cheaper, and ordinary ninjas will not feel bad about buying them, as they are much cheaper than ninja tools.

Hokage Building, Mission Hall.

"Ms. Yi Liu, may I ask what kind of mission does White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company want to issue?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at the table, looking at the head of White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company who came to issue the task.

"Third Hokage, our White Snake Medical Technology Company would like to issue C-rank and B-rank missions in Konoha on a long-term basis. We are hiring Konoha's ninjas to ensure that our company's products can be delivered to every town in the Land of Fire."

Yi Liu, dressed in a capable secretary's outfit, pushed his glasses and stated the purpose of his visit to Konoha on behalf of the company.

"So, an escort mission, huh? From what I understand, your company's products aren't just sold in the Fire Nation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, pipe in hand, suppressed the urge to agree.

"That's right, our company's products will be sold to various countries and ninja villages. The four major ninja villages of Sand Village, Rock Village, Mist Village, and Cloud Village will be the target consumer groups for our products."

Yi Liu said with a smile, White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company is a company that makes money by selling goods, so how could it limit its sights to the Fire Nation?

"What about Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Konoha's specialty store.

"You don't need to worry about this. The White Snake brand skin care products store in Konoha belongs to you, Konoha. This is one of the conditions that Miss Orochimaru agreed to provide us with the formula."

Iryu could see what Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried about.

"Konoha will take over your company's employment request."

Yiliu's answer dispelled Sarutobi Hiruzen's concerns, and he accepted the long-term employment commission from White Snake Medical Technology Company.

"The Third Hokage hopes that we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Yiliu took the briefcase handed to him by the guard, placed it on the table and said, "This is the reward for the escort mission. We hope that the escort team will include ninjas from the Uchiha or Hyuga clans."

"Why?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, crossing his arms.

"According to the intelligence our company has gathered, pirates and thieves have already set their sights on the products we sell. Someone has even hired the Shinobi organization, a group of renegade ninjas. Without sensory ninjas, the escort mission will be extremely difficult, and there may even be casualties."

Yi Liu stated the reason with a serious expression and added: "Our company does not want the cooperation with Orochimaru to end because of some misunderstandings."

To be honest, it is normal for ninjas to suffer casualties while on missions, but the company has to care about the feelings of their most important partner, Orochimaru.

"Is that so..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood what White Snake Medical Technology Company meant. It was obvious that they did not want to make enemies with Orochimaru, and they must have secretly hired ninjas or mercenaries to collect intelligence.

"Ms. Iryu, Konoha will arrange for suitable ninjas to go to the Land of Waves."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile that he didn't expect that the escort mission that Konoha took on this time, which required so many ninjas, was because of Orochimaru. It could be said that Orochimaru brought a considerable amount of income to the village.

In addition to the funds provided by the daimyo, Konoha's most important source of income is to accept commissions and collect fees, and to take a portion of the fees as handling fees.

There is no other way around it. For the safety of the village, the Anbu and the Uchiha police force are willing to be unsung heroes. Ninjas are stationed at the border outpost of the Land of Fire outside Konoha and patrol every day.

As well as tasks related to the village and the maintenance of various infrastructures, you should know that ninjas and civilians do not need to pay for hospitalization, so where does the money come from?

Funds provided by the daimyo and commission fees.

This shows what impact it would have on the village if the daimyo decided to cut funding.

Without money, life becomes a problem. Who would be willing to work hard for a village that has made their life a problem?

Will of Fire?

The will of fire cannot be eaten.

"Then I'll leave it to everyone in Konoha."

Yi Liu smiled politely, turned and walked out, with two guards following her.

Volume 60: Chapter : Orochimaru Studying Himself

"Lord Orochimaru, it has been done."

Yiliu knelt on one knee and looked at Orochimaru with reverence as he was holding a glass box containing the white snake's slough.

Orochimaru's gaze shifted to Yukiryu, and he smiled slightly and said, "Yukiryu, is this your smoke transformation?"

"You saw it."

Yi Liu turned into smoke, and when he re-condensed into a body, he returned to his original appearance, with long brown hair, light blue eyes, and a hint of joy on his beautiful face, as if he was happy that his smoke transformation technique was seen through by Orochimaru.

"It was me who assisted you in developing ninjutsu with your bloodline limit. How could I not see through your smoke transformation technique?" Orochimaru chuckled and said firmly, "You are a smoke clone now, right?"

Xueliu said apologetically, "Lord Orochimaru, I'm sorry to come to see you in my smoke clone. My real body has already left Konoha and is on the way back to the Land of Waves."

"It doesn't matter. Both the smoke clone and the shadow clone are very convenient."

Orochimaru didn't care that Xueliu came to see her in a smoke clone, "It's nothing. You should disappear."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Xueliu's smoke clone turned into smoke and dissipated.

I have to go to the Ibri clan's territory. There are many children in the clan who are old enough to attend ninja school, and it's time to teach them these ninjutsu related to bloodline limits.

Orochimaru stood up and walked out. The shadow clones who were conducting their own research and training glanced at her and continued with their own things.

The cave where the Ibri clan once lived is now in ruins. Those who did not join Konoha are either assisting Orochimaru's shadow clones in experiments in the laboratory, or going to the Land of Waves to work at the White Snake Medical Technology Company.

In the brightly lit laboratory, all kinds of animals are immersed in culture tanks, from herbivores to ferocious beasts, even the desert ants and huge two-tailed scorpions from the Demon Desert of the Wind Kingdom, and even some giant beasts in the Death Forest.

Orochimaru's shadow clones walked quickly in the laboratory, accompanied by assistants who assisted them as they conducted different research.

There are shadow clones who use these animals to conduct research on cloning technology and genetic technology. Once cloning is successfully carried out on animals, further attempts can be made to clone humans, so that there will be a steady supply of experimental subjects.

There are also shadow clones who try to make liquid contact lenses using substances that react to chakra to defend against visual illusions.

The essence of visual illusion is that the caster uses Yintun Chakra to control the five senses of the recipient, and visual illusion is to control the five senses of the recipient through his vision.

Orochimaru's idea was that if he could use Yin-Tun Chakra to form a defense in his eyes at the moment the illusion was activated by the caster, he could block the attack of the illusion's Yin-Tun Chakra and make the illusion ineffective.

That's why she used a liquid substance that reacts to chakra to make liquid contact lenses that wrap around the eyeballs. No, judging from the fact that it wraps around the eyeballs, it has gone beyond the scope of contact lenses. It's better to say that it's an illusion defense wall.

As for musical illusions, there is no better way to defend against them, unless you make yourself deaf. If you can't hear any sound, you will naturally not be affected by musical illusions.

There was only one piece of research that was conducted simultaneously by two shadow clones, and that was the caged bird curse seal that the main family of the Hyuga clan cast on the foreheads of the branch family.

Even with the books provided by Danzo Shimura, Orochimaru's research on the Caged Bird Curse Seal was still very slow. There was no way the only experimental subject was Hinata Mio, and she had to carry out missions frequently and serve as a sparring partner for the main family.

Many of Orochimaru's ideas require Hinata Mio's cooperation. Without important experimental subjects, how can progress not be slow?

Orochimaru ordered his shadow clones to study him, and he discovered that his spiritual energy far exceeded that of ordinary people, even surpassing those families with bloodline limits (especially the Uchiha).

Not only that, her perception ability is also very strong. Although it cannot reach the level of Senju Tobirama, after her own research and long-term training, her perception ability has the potential to be further improved.

For all the characteristics that did not appear in Orochimaru in the original work, but appeared in himself, Orochimaru could only think that these were changes brought about by the fusion of souls.

Orochimaru's original soul merged with a soul from another world, which gave birth to her existence. The fusion of the two souls also gave her spiritual energy and perception abilities far beyond ordinary people.

Perhaps this was the reason why she was able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique so quickly to speed up her journey.

The Ibri clan's home, the clan leader's residence.

"Chiri Yu, these ninjutsu developed based on your Ibri clan's bloodline limit will become the Ibri clan's family secret techniques used in conjunction with their bloodline limit."

Orochimaru placed the ninjutsu scroll on the table. "This way, the Ibri clan will have a stronger influence in the eyes of Konoha's higher-ups, and you won't have to worry about not having ninjutsu that suits you."

Because of the Ibri clan's special bloodline limit of smoke transformation, their chakra attribute is only Yin. That's right, only Yin, and no other attributes. Looking at the entire ninja world, the Ibri clan's situation is also very explosive.

If it is said that the Hyuga clan disdains to learn escape techniques other than the Three Body Technique.

Well, the Ibri clan couldn't learn even if they wanted to, because their chakra attribute was only Yin. Apart from attributeless ninjutsu, they could only learn illusion techniques, or develop ninjutsu with bloodline limits.

Chiri Yu looked at the ninjutsu scroll on the table, unable to hide her excitement. The closer she stretched out her hand to the scroll, the more it trembled. She raised her head and looked at Orochimaru, wanting to confirm again.

"Lord Orochimaru, can I...really accept it?"

"Take it. This is the ninjutsu that Qinghe and I developed together. It is the bloodline limit ninjutsu of your Ibri clan."

Orochimaru smiled and gestured to Chiriyu to accept it quickly.

boom--!

Chiri Yu slammed his head on the table, "Lord Orochimaru, we will never forget your kindness to our Ibri clan!"

Chiriyu thought about the life that he and his clan had now, and also about the ninjutsu that Lord Orochimaru and Clan Leader Qinghe had developed together in the scroll.

Lord Orochimaru put in so much effort and hard work in this. How could he not know this when he knows the Qinghe clan leader and those members of the clan very well?

I'm afraid that even if the Qinghe clan leader and his men racked their brains, they still wouldn't be able to develop these ninjutsu!

He would be willing to die for Lord Orochimaru even if it meant dying for him. He believed that many, if not all, of his clan members were willing to sacrifice their lives for Lord Orochimaru!

"Lord Orochimaru, is there anything we can do for you?"

Chiri Yu said sincerely that he envied the Qinghe clan leader and others who were able to work for Lord Orochimaru, but by joining Konoha, they lost the opportunity to work for Lord Orochimaru.

"Don't worry, that day will come."

Orochimaru stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he said, "Chiriyu, work hard to develop the Ibri clan. There will be a time when I will need you."

It is better to leave a trump card that you don’t know when you may use it than to have no trump card at all.

Orochimaru had a premonition that the caged bird seal she was researching would bring about drastic changes to the Hyuga clan, and whether that change would affect her was still unknown. Even so, she would not give up her research on the caged bird seal, especially since the research had already made progress.

The next time Hinata Mio comes to her laboratory, she will be able to conduct a new round of experiments to prove whether her research during this period is correct.

Orochimaru walked in the Ibri clan's territory, paused, and received the shadow clone's memories and fatigue.

The Akimichi clan's three-color secret medicine retains some of the effects of the red pepper pill, enhancing the user's strength by 5 times and enabling the use of the family's secret calorie control method.

The side effect is no longer death, but the body will be weak for a long time and needs to be well recuperated. Eating a lot can shorten the period of weakness.

Orochimaru believed that Akimichi Tofu would be very satisfied with such side effects.

The green spinach balls and yellow curry balls were also modified to reduce the side effects. At most, there will be a little weakness due to excessive chakra consumption, and you just need to eat more Bingliang pills.

Of course, the improved three-color secret medicine has not been tested yet, so the effectiveness and reduced side effects have not been verified.

However, Orochimaru is fully confident in the three-color secret medicine he has improved, and anyone who eats the red pepper pill will never die.

We need to go to the Akimichi clan's territory and find someone to give it a try.
