Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 446 Meeting

Yuya, who was holding a cup of hot tea, was completely dumbfounded when he saw Orochimaru suddenly appear at his office door with an angry look on his face.

However, Yuya quickly realized that whatever Orochimaru came for, he was here, and since he was here, he wasn't going to leave.

Yuya stood up and walked happily towards Orochimaru: "This is really strange, you actually took the initiative to find me. It's alright, since you're here, you should rest more, I..."

Seeing that Yua was about to move forward, Orochimaru quickly stretched out his arm to stop him: "Wait a minute!"

Yuya wasn't angry at all; in fact, he actually stopped and looked at Orochimaru with a smile. Since Orochimaru was here, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.

Then Yuya saw Orochimaru retreat to the side, looking like a sycophant.

Just as You Ya was wondering what was going on, two figures that looked very familiar to him walked out from the side.

"Yo, long time no see~ Yua, you've gotten so old, haha~" Hashirama Senju, with cracks on his face, scratched the back of his head and laughed as his first reaction upon seeing Yua.

While Tobirama Senju's face was serious, his gaze towards Yua softened considerably.

In any case, Yuya has indeed developed the village very well, and that's enough.

"You... are you Edo Tensei...?" Yua looked at the First and Second Hokage, not at all surprised.

After all, even though he didn't actually learn this ninjutsu in this world, given his current identity, the Impure World Reincarnation technique couldn't possibly hide it from him.

Tobirama Senju looked at Yua, pondered for a moment, and then spoke his first words:

"On my way here, I heard that many villagers are very dissatisfied with me as the Second Hokage. They think it would have been better if you had succeeded as Hokage earlier."

You Ya: "..."

The villagers misled me.

Helpless, You Ya could only repeat the same reason he had given before: simply put, even if he took over early, he might not be able to do things so well.

This finally made Tobirama Senju nod in satisfaction.

After that, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju sat down in the Hokage's office with Orochimaru.

Meanwhile, Nara Shikaya and his son Nara Shikaku, who had been slacking off, were now sitting upright, pens in hand, writing furiously. Don't ask what they were writing; just pretending to be busy was enough.

Whether they were secretly screaming "Don't look at me! Don't look at me!" or not, nobody knows.

Yuya smiled and served tea to the three of them, then asked, "So, what brings you here this time? Orochimaru, what's this about the debt you mentioned?"

Although Yuya was smiling, there was no doubt that he was furious that Orochimaru dared to use the Impure World Reincarnation to bring the First and Second Hokage to the Hokage's office to ask him for money.

Damn it, I'm still your older brother, and you don't even trust your older brother that much?!

They even brought the First and Second Generation leaders with them?!

I'm annoyed, extremely annoyed!

Seeing that the main topic had been brought up, Orochimaru didn't waste any time and quickly said, "It's like this..."

As he spoke, Orochimaru recounted his recent experiences to Yua in the Hokage's office.

It turns out that Orochimaru had been conducting experiments in his own laboratory all along.

Moreover, Orochimaru from the other side of the rift in Loulan was captured and brought to Konoha. After working as 007 for several years, he successfully regained his freedom, and Yua, in appreciation of his hard work, gifted him a state-of-the-art bio-scanner.

It's called a scanner, but it actually integrates a series of supporting facilities such as gene mapping, gene programming, biological nutrient chambers, and hibernation chambers.

Simply put, his scanner is the super premium version.

If you want to buy it on the market, it would cost at least 10 billion taels.

Orochimaru must be thrilled. His other self has gotten his hands on this, which will be of great help to his biological experiments.

So the two Orochimarus happily began their experiments.

Then last month, Orochimaru went to the person in charge of his work to ask for money. After all, these machines were indeed amazing, but every time they were turned on, they cost millions of taels of silver. Orochimaru had long since run out of money.

However, this is not a big deal. In the past, Orochimaru often ran out of money. Every time he called Yua, as long as the reason was acceptable, Yua would approve the funding.

Orochimaru naturally felt the same way this time.

Then he made a phone call, and the person on the other end said that their leader had changed and that the new leader would contact him.

Then Orochimaru waited for the people over there.

Yes, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

To be honest, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to take on the so-called acting head of the research department.

He's over 60 years old, can't he enjoy life?

Working at this age?!

However, Yuya pulled a fast one. He knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to work, but he put Asuma Sarutobi in the position of head of the research department. How would you deal with that?

Hiruzen Sarutobi is numb.

the most important is……

The rest of the Sarutobi clan were also very happy about this.

Why?

There's hope!

Just think about how large the Sarutobi clan's territory was during the time of the First and Second Hokage. Now, they actually control less than a tenth of what it used to be!

That bank, that university, they call it something nice because it's within our clan's territory, but the management rights are still in your hands, Hokage!

What do we Sarutobi clan have?!

If it weren't for some members of the Sarutobi clan refusing to give up their illusions, they would have disbanded their clan and merged into Konoha long ago!

—They felt that as long as Yua died, the next Hokage would more or less need to rely on their family, and who knows... it might even be someone from their family who came to power?

Those weren't the days when life was great.

Look at what happened in the research department this time, isn't that the prelude to You Ya relinquishing power!

You Ya certainly didn't think that way; he simply wanted some people to do the work.

Of course, considering the next successor is also on the agenda.

In short, Hiruzen Sarutobi came to do the work.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi took over, he discovered that the research department was not as easy as he had imagined.

Without a doubt, the Research Department is indeed the most important department in Konoha, and even now, Yua still considers the Research Department to be the most important.

But here's the problem: since it's the most important thing, then management must be the most meticulous.

Many things have specific rules and procedures.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, fearing making mistakes, certainly wouldn't give Orochimaru money directly like Yua did.

We have no choice but to go through the proper procedures.

And the result was...

Orochimaru's report was approved, but it's been over a month now, and the money still hasn't arrived...
