Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 135: Plans and Arrangements (Part )
This is not a one-time deal.

It's not a one-time deal.

Menma had already said at the beginning that he was approaching Orochimaru as a partner. Menma needed Orochimaru, and from the current point of view, Orochimaru also needed Menma very much. Not to mention the explosive information that Menma could come up with anytime and anywhere, it itself was a huge wealth.

Of course, the relationship between the two is more like mutual benefit rather than cooperation, just like the relationship between Orochimaru and Danzo, except that compared to Danzo, Orochimaru feels that Menma is more "suitable" for him, and this "suitability" also refers to all aspects of the problem.

However, what Orochimaru didn't know was that Menma actually treated him as nutrients that nourish the land.

Before he has fully grown up and gained a certain degree of power, Menma needs someone to provide him with all the help, including but not limited to manpower, material resources, financial resources, intelligence, etc.

This is also why Menma did not have many choices after he decided to leave Konoha.

Of course there are more than one person and place with resources, but those places and people all have problems to varying degrees, and Menma is very concerned.

Only Orochimaru, a guy who is absolutely not hypocritical in some aspects, is the most suitable for him.

"I will let you become the most important stepping stone in my plan, Orochimaru-san. Either I will be completely devoured by you, or you will become my chess piece completely!"

Menma looked at Orochimaru who was so close to him. Under his seemingly calm appearance, his heart was filled with coldness.

"Then, please give priority to providing the things recorded in the scroll just now, Dousang. By the way, I also need a relatively large open space and room, so please prepare them for me as well."

Menma looked at Kabuto Yakushi calmly and said.

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Menma-kun, it will be ready within three days. As for the open space, I will immediately arrange for someone to vacate the training ground on the far right side of the base. There happens to be a laboratory there, which Menma-kun can use freely. What do you think? Is this okay?"

Pharmacist Kabuto pushed up his black-framed glasses and said with a smile.

"Well, of course, I trust you to do things for me. So, I'll excuse myself today. Orochimaru-san should take good care of your injuries. If you need anything, you can always summon me, Orochimaru-san."

Menma said this last 'polite' sentence.

He turned around and left.

Xianglin quickly followed, and the two of them strode out of the dim house.

And that was when Menma and the other person disappeared completely into the distance.

Orochimaru's expression instantly darkened.

"Kabuto, based on the above information, we will conduct an initial investigation and arrange for our people to contact Danzo again. We must find out some necessary information in the shortest possible time. Do you understand?"

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi with a gloomy face and spoke in a cold voice.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, but there was information sent from Danzo earlier. Should we not respond to it?"

Pharmacist Kabuto nodded in response at first, then as if he had thought of something, he hesitated and spoke.

Danzo is a man of his words.

When the Konoha collapse plan had just been completed and he learned that Menma had defected and left with Orochimaru, he directly ordered the people of the Root to contact Orochimaru as quickly as possible and convey his orders.

This is a completely condescending attitude.

Not to mention Orochimaru, even Orochimaru's subordinates like Kabuto Yakushi didn't buy it at all.

It’s completely normal to ignore it.

But now the situation seems to be a little different. Yaoshi Kabuto naturally needs to seek the opinion of his boss.

And this still involves the problem of facial numbness. The current Kabuto Pharmacist is not yet the quasi-BOSS character in the later stages.

"Oh, you don't need to bother with him about that aspect. Just contact him through normal channels. It's impossible for that old guy to really turn against me. He still needs me."

Orochimaru smiled coldly and said with a hint of disdain.

"Well, wait a minute. Let's give him the thing we agreed on earlier. Tell him that the experiment has reached the final stage and will be completed soon."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something.

Orochimaru frowned and then continued speaking.

"Yes."

After pharmacist Dou nodded, he was about to leave.

"Also, Tsunade, continue to send more people to search, and tell me immediately if you have any news."

Even with Menma's advance disclosure of information, Orochimaru was able to identify the true method to break the Shiki Fuujin Jutsu, but that was ultimately Menma's statement alone. There was no trust between them at all. Any normal person would have needed to make more necessary preparations in advance.

His former teammate Tsunade is currently the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world. It is impossible for Orochimaru not to give it a try. Moreover, he has enough confidence to impress Tsunade.

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru."

Naturally, Kabuto Yakushi understood his master Orochimaru's plan, and he immediately nodded heavily in response.

"Uzumaki Menma, interesting, really interesting, let me see what your real intentions are and how far you can go."

There was a hint of coldness in Orochimaru's snake eyes, and he whispered in his heart.

It must be said that Orochimaru has indeed spent a lot of effort to build his own power since he defected from Konoha. This can be easily reflected in the preparation of supplies.

If a renegade ninja goes it alone, or is like Zabuza, who only has one subordinate, he has to do it himself if he wants to obtain some resources. But it is different for Orochimaru. He can't say that all resources can be obtained with just a wave of his hand, but he can get some basic materials and supplies.

The necessary items listed in the Menma Scroll.

It only took a little more than a day to complete the preparations.

After seeing these supplies, Menma became more determined in his inner thoughts.

"As expected, we still need to execute that plan, and we need to speed up our pace. Let's choose that one as our goal!! "

Menma looked at the series of special materials and some necessary materials piled up in the room, a hint of thought flashed in his pupils, and he thought silently in his heart.

Being strong yourself is one thing.

Having the necessary forces under your command is another matter.

At the very least, the collection of intelligence and supplies can become very easy.

Of course, he couldn't start from scratch like Orochimaru did, because he only had three years left!
