After making things clear, Orochimaru crossed his legs and started chatting casually with Ningxia.

"Are you doing well in Konoha?"

"That's good, Naruko is a good girl."

"The children of four generations..."

The two chatted as if no one else was around, which made Luo Sha feel humiliated and resentful. Was she really going to be just another pawn in their game?!

Orochimaru and Ningxia had a very pleasant chat, and she felt that even if they talked for several more hours, or even dozens of hours, it wouldn't be enough.

Looking at Luo Sha again, I felt that he was too much of a hindrance, and there were many things I couldn't say.

"Mr. Luo Sha, what's your decision? Please don't waste my time; you can't afford to lose."

Orochimaru's tone was extremely arrogant, and of course, she had the right to be arrogant. As the largest monopoly in the ninja world, money was just a number to her.

In comparison, her various monopolistic assets are the most terrifying.

To put it simply, Orochimaru could buy the entire Land of Fire right now.

Or rather, with her monopoly on resources and technology, every penny she spends in the Land of Fire is essentially just money going from one hand to the other.

Not to mention Rasa, even a daimyo would have to give her face.

Those who used to make things difficult for Ningxia and try to take advantage of her have all been bankrupted by her.

She holds grudges.

Under Orochimaru's disdain, Rasa trembled and knelt on the ground, begging Orochimaru to give him more time, promising to do anything!

"Oh? Is that so?"

Orochimaru revealed a sly smile. Normally, she wouldn't target Sunagakure so much, but the fact that Sunagakure ninjas dared to point their weapons at Ningxia was a different matter altogether.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Orochimaru also revealed his demands: if Rasa was willing to send Gaara to Ningxia as a maid, she could forgive Sunagakure's debts and even invest in Sunagakure.

"impossible!"

Rasa refused without even thinking. He knew that Orochimaru didn't want Gaara, but rather the One-Tailed Beast inside Gaara's body.

However, the tailed beasts are one of the foundations for a village's survival. If a village doesn't even have tailed beasts, Sunagakure might really fall out of the list of the five great ninja villages.

"Then I'll go find Daimyo."

Orochimaru spoke slowly and deliberately, like a venomous snake toying with its prey, waiting for the other to be exhausted before devouring it.

After a series of internal struggles, Luo Sha offered a more dignified explanation.

He sent Gaara to Ningxia to be a maid, and after Sunagakure recovered, he would spend money to redeem Gaara, or spend less money to keep Gaara and redeem Ichibi.

Even Orochimaru was completely stumped by his god-like father, Rasa. Do you hate this daughter that much?

"no problem."

Ningxia said coldly. Orochimaru knew that Ningxia was angry when he saw this, and he was also a little annoyed with Rasa. After quickly signing the contract, he let him leave.

"How's your birthday present?"

Orochimaru chuckled and asked, "The debt Sunagakure owes her will only accumulate with interest, reaching an astronomical figure. Even if Rasa mines for a lifetime, she still won't be able to pay it back."

The One-Tailed Beast was a gift she planned for Ningxia, and the reason she sent him to Sunagakure was for this.

"Um...actually, anything you give me will be fine."

Ningxia scratched his head, never expecting Orochimaru to give him the One-Tailed Beast as a gift.

"Well... whatever you want, for example..."

Orochimaru moved closer, his aggressive snake eyes reflecting Ningxia's image, making no attempt to hide his urge to devour her alive.

When it comes to interest in Ningxia, Orochimaru believes no one is more interested than himself, not even Tsunade.

Whether it was the all-night talk with the little boy back then, or Ningxia's efforts to help her after she ran away.

Seeing Ningxia's energetic outings and her exhausted return, even a stone would feel warmed by her presence.

If it weren't for Ningxia, she probably would have gone down an even worse path.

Immortality... she can achieve it, but only if she has someone to walk alongside her.

"Um...it's...it's good, Orochimaru...it's good..."

Ningxia felt a little guilty because of the stereotypes from his previous life. He initially had some doubts about Orochimaru, wondering if he was a man or a woman.

Therefore, he didn't dare to have any physical contact until one time when he was resting after helping Orochimaru secure investment, and he was vaguely hugged by Orochimaru.

He lay on Orochimaru's lap all night, so it's safe to say she was a 100% beauty.

After that, the last barrier between them disappeared, and Orochimaru no longer restrained the distance between them, which caused Tsunade to complain for a time.

Then Orochimaru retorted: "Tsunade, I'm the boss!"

"Then... um... what about Tsunade?" Orochimaru's smile vanished for a moment, then he answered:

"She was working overtime, so I didn't tell her about preparing a gift for you."

"After all... she has already given me her most precious thing."

As soon as the Ningxia dialect was spoken, the temperature in the surrounding environment dropped by more than ten degrees Celsius.

"When?"

Orochimaru's tone remained calm, but his mind was racing. He clearly remembered that Tsunade had never done such a thing, and even if it were possible, she had stopped it.

"Oh? I mean this."

Ningxia took out the necklace that Tsunade had given her. It was said to have been given to Tsunade by the First Hokage, and Tsunade had given it to her a long time ago.

The reason given was to pay off debts, but after saying that, he awkwardly added, "Happy Birthday."

"Is that so...?"

Orochimaru's smile returned to normal. She actually got emotional, really, knowing full well that Ningxia was a blockhead.

"If you need it, I can give you my most precious thing."

"what?"

After resolving this matter, Ningxia found Gaara again and asked her if she was willing to leave with him.

"Um!"

Gaara nodded frantically, showing no attachment to the village whatsoever.

"Well... my name is Ningxia, nice to meet you in the future."

There wasn't much to do in Sunagakure, and Ningxia didn't plan to stay any longer. After completing the handover procedures, she left with Gaara and Temari, who was nominally there to take care of him but was actually a free gift.

Thanks to Orochimaru's spaceship, Ningxia and Yecang no longer needed to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

"Wow, it's so high..."

Little Shouju stood on tiptoe, peering over the railing, and exclaimed in amazement at the desert below.

But there was also a sense of loss, suddenly leaving her hometown, her younger brother, her father, and her playmates. Even though Temari was older than Gaara, it was hard not to feel reluctant to leave.

"Don't cry. Father told me to keep an eye on Gaara!"

Temari secretly encouraged herself, reminding herself to remember her father's words and keep a close eye on Ningxia and Gaara.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uneasy away from home?"

Ningxia suddenly appeared and asked the golden-haired little girl in front of her in a soft voice.

He didn't even intend to bring Temari; it was Rasa who insisted.

But... since we're already here, we have plenty of Temari at home.

"I...I didn't!"

Temari stubbornly denied it, but Ningxia didn't care and asked Temari if she wanted to eat pudding, which was sweet.

"I want it! I want it!!!"

Temari immediately forgot her instructions and happily went to eat pudding with Ningxia.
