Konoha Drunkard

Only Orochimaru's female fans each had an Orochimaru painting, so Jiraiya naturally made a fortune. During this time, he stood up straight in front of Tsunade, practically with "I'm rich" written all over his face.

Every time Shanks sees Jiraiya in this state, Orochimaru mourns for three minutes. That's just how realistic it is. I wonder if Orochimaru will be so angry that he'll die.

...........

Snake is furious!

Snake is furious!

Snake has exploded with rage!

Even when he's angry, Snake remains an elegant gentleman and won't cause trouble in his laboratory.

Snake stared at one of his artworks in his hand, and a strong sense of murderous intent filled the entire laboratory.

"That bastard Jiraiya..."

Orochimaru used his first curse word to Jiraiya. Someone as smart as Orochimaru could tell who drew the picture as soon as he saw it. He didn't even need to ask. The person who could draw him so delicately and vividly must know him very well and have frequent contact with him. There are only three people in the entire ninja world who have had the most contact with him: Shanks, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.

Although Shanks had a lot of contact with him, his best friend was Sakumo Hatake, so he wouldn't observe him so closely, and Shanks' drawing skills weren't that good.

Tsunade is probably only very observant of cards and dominoes, but as for people... well, let's just say she's not that good.

Looking at the exquisitely detailed portrait of him as a child, even the snake's tongue on his earring was clearly depicted, though his lower body was completely naked, standing by a stream urinating, with even the splashing water realistically rendered. Most importantly, two or three aunties were whispering among themselves on the riverbank in the painting, one of them pointing at the little snake spirit and saying, "So detailed!"

Who else could draw something so detailed, with such a jokingly sarcastic tone, but Jiraiya who spends all his time studying those boring human anatomy studies?

Orochimaru has never been so humiliated in his life. This bastard is clearly drawing him and then changing the portrait to his own. How could the super scientist Orochimaru do such a thing?

"Haha! Orochimaru, who drew this? It looks so real! I never thought you'd do something like this when you were little, just like me. I thought you were a top student back then! Haha! Hey, hey, hey, get these snakes away, they're disgusting! Don't bite, don't bite!"

This painting was given to Orochimaru by Hidan, who is immortal. He just wanted to see if someone as overly calm as Orochimaru would get angry. Orochimaru casually gave him a few white snakes.

"Hey, hey, hey! Orochimaru, stop joking! Get these snakes away, Boss Kakuzu, help!!"

According to incomplete surveys, at least 9.99 million out of 10 million people are afraid of snakes, slippery reptiles, and this has nothing to do with their strength.

Shanks almost had a heart attack from Orochimaru releasing snakes back then. Hidan, who is immortal, is not afraid of death because he can't die, but that doesn't mean he's not afraid of snakes. Slippery and cold snakes coiled around him, their heads flicking their tongues and licking his face, it was enough to make his scalp tingle.

Orochimaru is a cultured man and doesn't usually release snakes carelessly. However, he's currently furious because that bastard Jiraiya actually used him to make money—it's utterly shameless.

732. Jiraiya is invincible.

If Jiraiya doesn't teach him a lesson after doing this to him, he really wouldn't be Orochimaru.

Snake quickly calmed down, tapping his fingers on the table as he thought about how to teach Jiraiya a lesson. To teach someone a lesson, you naturally have to find a way to deal with them, like what they have and then making them lose something. This is the most direct and effective method.

What does Jiraiya have... money? All the money he earned from writing those manga over the years was handed over to Tsunade as protection money... He's a complete pauper! Looks? Words like handsome and beautiful have never been associated with him...! Girls? ...Let's not even talk about them!

After thinking for a long time, Snake finally realized that Jiraiya had been in the ninja world for decades and was still a penniless bastard. Even the house in Konoha was given to him by the village. In other words, the house did not belong to him and was just lent to him. In other words, even if this guy had many flaws, he had no flaws. This guy was already invincible!

..........

While Orochimaru was worrying about how to teach that bastard Jiraiya a lesson, his nominal disciple, the second male lead in the series, was having a meltdown in his laboratory in the Land of Bears.

As the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan and Itachi's younger brother, the second male lead, Kuku, still possesses considerable talent. With the addition of Orochimaru as his important mentor, his abilities have been continuously enhanced over the past year, and his level has been soaring. While Naruto, the male lead, is still grinding experience in Konoha, Kuku, under Orochimaru's tutelage, has already made a name for himself. At least now, he can hold his own against Lu Ma-kun, who is about to die and activate the Earth Seal.

People like the second male lead, Kuku, really need someone like Orochimaru to teach them. In the past year or so, Kuku's second male lead has been constantly fighting, except for studying the ninjutsu Orochimaru left him. At first, Orochimaru sent him his test subjects to gain experience, and after they reached a certain level, he had Lu Majun increase his proficiency. Orochimaru can truly be said to have done his best for this disciple. In just over a year, he has helped Kuku's Sharingan evolve to the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Originally, the second male lead was living a peaceful life in the Bear Kingdom, fighting with Lu Majun every day while he was still alive. However, after accidentally hearing news about his enemy's older brother, his calm mind exploded. He had suffered in this godforsaken place for over a year, but that man's popularity had skyrocketed. That wasn't the key point, though. The most crucial thing was that the man had more fans than him. This was unbearable for the second male lead. In addition, he had leveled up so quickly and his proficiency had increased so much in the past year that he no longer believed he could defeat that man.

Since he could beat that man, why should he suffer here every day? So, the second male lead, carrying the supposedly indestructible weapon given to him by Snake Uncle, proudly set off to challenge that man to a duel.

However, the second male lead was stopped by Lu Majun as soon as he arrived at the door. Lu Majun knew what the second male lead was thinking, of course. He had been adopted by Orochimaru and raised in the research institute in the Land of Rain since he was a child. Apart from Pain, he had been in contact with all the members of the Akatsuki. He also knew about Itachi Uchiha's strength. Orochimaru had told him that Itachi Uchiha was among the strongest in the Akatsuki. He had been with the second male lead for so long that he knew his strength better than anyone else. Right now, the second male lead was still no match for Itachi Uchiha. When Orochimaru sent him here, he told him not to go out and find Itachi Uchiha before Sasuke Uchiha defeated him.

Lu Ma-jun, who treats Orochimaru like her own father, naturally obeys him without question. Now that the second male lead is evenly matched with him, sending him out to find Itachi Uchiha is just asking for trouble.

One was determined to go out, the other wouldn't let him, and both were stubborn as mules. Naturally, things didn't end well when they clashed, especially with the second male lead, who was a man living for revenge... He wouldn't hesitate to kill even his own father if anyone dared to stop him from seeking revenge...

While Lu Majun was stubborn and determined to carry out the tasks Orochimaru assigned him, he couldn't very well kill Sasuke, who was still Orochimaru's disciple. He himself didn't have long to live; what if he accidentally killed Sasuke...who would inherit Orochimaru's legacy then...?

So, one character used a deadly attack with a basic attack, while the other held back. In the end, after Lu Majun's life force was completely drained and she died, the second male lead still managed to escape.

When Orochimaru arrived in the Land of Bears after receiving the news, he shed a single "tear of mortal life" while holding Lu Majun's body...

This period has been incredibly unlucky for Orochimaru lately. First, he was inexplicably used by that bastard Jiraiya, who made a fortune off him, and he hasn't even figured out how to get revenge yet. Now, his most loyal ally, whom he's raised for over a decade, is dead. Even with Orochimaru's composure, he couldn't help but point to the sky and mutter, "Fuck you!"

Orochimaru was somewhat prepared for Ryouma's death. The Kaguya clan has a history of bloodline diseases, and Ryouma was no exception. Orochimaru had been trying to find a solution for years, but to no avail. It was already remarkable that she had survived until now. However, she was someone he had raised for so many years, and Orochimaru hadn't even ascended to immortality yet. He still had human feelings, so it was impossible for him not to be heartbroken.

Moreover, he died while resolutely carrying out his orders. Such a good subordinate is rare in the realistic ninja world.

As for the second male lead, after learning the details, Snake was also having a headache. Although the second male lead's strength had increased quite a bit in the past year or so, he was still far behind Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi had received the captain's training since childhood. Although he was confident that he could train the second male lead to be better than Uchiha Itachi, it would take time. There was still too little time. Rushing to find Uchiha Itachi now was just asking for trouble.

"Why........."

Snake looked up at the sky and sighed. He should have known better than to agree to the captain's request to take on this disciple. Now he's got a whole host of troubles.

Can't you just let me cultivate immortality in peace?!

733. Second Male Lead VS Itachi

The second male lead who escaped was no longer the rookie he used to be. In addition, Itachi's popularity in the ninja world was so high that he was practically a walking traffic magnet, so it was easy for the second male lead to find Itachi.

On a bright and sunny morning, in a small country whose name I don't know.

Itachi had just woken up from his dream. He called Kisame, who lived next door, and they went out to enjoy the pastoral scenery.

As a result, he had only taken two steps after leaving the house when he was blocked by a figure in shorts.

Itachi looked at the boy's pants and expression. Although he hadn't seen him for several years, this boy in such shorts could only be his little brother...

"Bastard! Die!"

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. The second male lead, looking at the man he had been longing for day and night, didn't hesitate to draw his knife and attack.

"Bang, bang, snap, snap!"

There were no landslides or earthquakes, no darkness or loss of light; everything was just that simple.

Seeing the clumsy little brother charging at him with his sword, Itachi finished him off with a solid set of basic attacks.

“My dear brother, after all these years, you are still so weak. It seems necessary to make you recall the feeling of pain again.”

Itachi stepped on the second male lead's chest with one foot and gripped his neck with the other, looking very disappointed.

Kisame, standing to the side, was completely stunned. He actually saw a resemblance to Shanks from Konoha in Itachi. Itachi was actually using verbal sparring? He'd been teaming up with Itachi for years, and when had Itachi ever used verbal sparring? Wasn't Itachi's character supposed to be someone who could defeat an opponent instantly with a glare and then calmly walk away? Now he was using mental attacks!

"One is influenced by one's company." Itachi had been hanging out with Shanks for over a decade, and perhaps he hadn't even realized that he had been infected by Shanks' influence without realizing it.

"what!"

Itachi activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and glared at the second male lead in his pants. The second male lead in his pants screamed as if he had seen something terrible and then fainted.

"Heh, Itachi-kun is really cruel, he can be so cruel to his own brother."

When the second male lead in the pants fainted, Orochimaru emerged from the ground and smiled at Itachi.

"Orochimaru, why aren't you doing your scientific research in the organization? What are you doing here?"

Kisame, carrying the Habami sword, stood guard in front of Itachi.

"Hehe, you wouldn't believe it if I told you, but Sasuke-kun is actually my disciple. Of course I'm here to take him away."

Orochimaru didn't care about Kisame's appearance, but looked at Itachi. He had been there when the second male lead started fighting Itachi, and he also wanted to see how big the gap was between Uchiha Sasuke and his older brother.

The result was quite disappointing to him. Logically speaking, after a year of training, Sasuke Uchiha's level should have been high enough that even if he wasn't as good as Itachi Uchiha, he should at least be able to last a few rounds. However, Sasuke Uchiha got carried away when he saw Itachi Uchiha and acted without any strategy. He was defeated by Itachi's combo of basic attacks. It was a real disgrace to his teacher.

"let's go........"

When Itachi heard Orochimaru say that, he guessed that it must have been his teacher who handed Sasuke over to Orochimaru. Otherwise, Sasuke could not have become Orochimaru's disciple. Although he was not very familiar with Orochimaru, his teacher was. Moreover, they were all undercover agents. If he didn't trust Orochimaru, how could he not trust his teacher?

"........."

After Itachi left, Orochimaru shook his head silently at the unconscious second male lead, Kuku. He then summoned a giant snake that swallowed Kuku into its belly before sinking back into the ground.

Snake Uncle's snake ninjutsu is truly unique, and even the person he's portraying is so ingenious. If the second male lead knew that he had been swallowed by a giant snake, I wonder if he would stew the snake that swallowed him.

He dared to devour even the eldest son of the Six Paths Elder? He's got a death wish...

..........

The second male lead, dressed in trousers, slowly woke up. Looking around at the gloomy scenery, he wondered, "Who am I? Where am I? Right, wasn't I just having a fierce battle with that man...?"

"Hehe, Sasuke-kun, how does it feel to get humiliated like that?"

Just as the second male lead in his pants was lost in thought, Snake's voice came from the side.

".....hateful!"

After being reminded by Snake Uncle, the second male lead in the pants finally remembered that what the hell was this "three hundred rounds of battle"? It was all fake. He was killed in one round by that bastard.

"You're too impatient. Itachi Uchiha has been with the captain for over ten years, and he also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan. You're no match for him now."

Snake Uncle said, seeing the second male lead in pants gritting his teeth.

"How much longer will it take me to defeat him?"

Although the second male lead, Kuku, was obsessed with revenge, he wasn't entirely stupid. Over the past year, following Orochimaru's training plan, his strength had increased dramatically. While he still couldn't defeat that bastard, it didn't change the fact that he had become much stronger. Therefore, he fully acknowledged Orochimaru's role in helping him grow stronger...

"........."

Orochimaru was speechless. How was he supposed to answer that question? While the second male lead was indeed talented, Itachi Uchiha's talent was even more impressive. Who knew when he'd be able to defeat him...?

"Don't rush. Although he is very strong now, you are younger than him, which is an advantage. In addition, your talent is no less than his. It's just that you have wasted a lot of time in the past few years. In another year or two, you might be able to defeat him."

After thinking for a long time, Snake finally came up with a reason that the second male lead could barely accept.

That's right!

I'm younger than him!

Youth is an advantage...

"You've already witnessed his kaleidoscope ability, haven't you? What were your impressions?"

Snake kept a close eye on the second male lead in his pants. He hadn't forgotten his original goal: to unravel the mystery of how ordinary Sharingan could evolve into Mangekyou Sharingan!

Then he'll surpass the Second Hokage to become the greatest scientist in history, and he'll unravel the mystery of the Sharingan's evolution, a mystery even the Second Hokage couldn't fully solve.

"......"

The second male lead, recalling the scene from the illusion, shook his head in pain, clenching his fists tightly. "What else do you need to do? Just look at my expression and you'll know."

From beginning to end, he had no ability to fight back, so what could he possibly fight back against?
