Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"What's Hanzo's request again?"

Kakuzu sat on the sofa and skillfully took out a calculator from his arms. He wanted to calculate how much money Hanzo's request would cost.

"Hanzo wants to change the environment of the Rain Country to make it more suitable for growing crops."

"Doesn't that require blowing up Rain Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu took off his sunglasses and looked at Qinghe. With a hint of surprise in his eyes, he said, "I remember you mentioned this before, but you were rejected. That was when Orochimaru wanted to test the power of chakra explosives and wanted to use them to blow up the Rain Mountain under the pretext of changing the environment of the Rain Country."

"Hanzo sensed that war between nations was inevitable, so he naturally had to consider the future of the Rain Country. The Rain Country currently imports all its food from the Fire Country."

Qinghe could understand why Hanzo made the change, "Lord Orochimaru wouldn't refuse Hanzo's request if he knew about it, right?"

Kakuzu wanted to say something, but his words were rebuffed by these words.

There was no way. What he was protesting against could always bring income to the company. Qinghe had already agreed to it, so he couldn't say anything more.

"When Orochimaru comes, there is something I have to tell her. No, it would be better if your people could pass it on to Orochimaru."

Kakuzu said with a serious expression, "It's about the survivors of the Uzushiogakure."

"Could it be that...the information was leaked?"

Qinghe frowned and said in confusion, "This is impossible. The only people who came into contact with the survivors of the Uzushiogakure Village are ours. It is impossible for our people to leak information. Or... did someone sneak in?"

"I'm not sure. I saw some information about the survivors of the Hidden Uzushio Village at the black market intelligence house. The news from the ninja villages in various countries is that no one has returned alive..."

Kakuzu paused here, then continued, "Orochimaru acted decisively. It's impossible that he let anyone off the hook, leading to the information leak. In other words, a highly skilled intelligence ninja infiltrated the company, gathered the information, and sold it to a black market intelligence house."

"That is to say, it is only a matter of time before this information is known to the ninja villages of various countries. It seems that we will have to meet Lord Orochimaru."

Qinghe's expression was solemn, and he was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"Xue Liu, please contact Lord Orochimaru."

"Yes."

The smoke condensed into the shape of a snow stream, and then turned into smoke again.

"Kakuzu, I'm going to inform Ms. Uzumaki Chigusa."

Qinghe got up and went to find Uzumaki Chigusa, the leader of the Uzushiogakure Village. Such an important matter must be told to her.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is a letter from a summoning beast."

Im was holding a letter in his hand, and a rather unruly snow-white crow stood on his shoulder, tilting its head to look at the white snake tail swaying behind Orochimaru, as if wondering why this man gave it the feeling of facing a snake.

"Well, show it to me."

Orochimaru reached out and took the letter handed to him by Im, opened it and looked at the contents of the letter, frowning slightly.

She had expected that the news of the survivors of the Hidden Uzushio Village in the Land of Waves would be leaked, but the fact that it was leaked so quickly must have been due to Kaguya Otsutsuki's most filial son, the black slime Black Zetsu, who had survived for thousands of years.

Black Zetsu, the only thing you overlooked is the influence of the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company. The more likely wars are to occur, the more the ninja villages of various countries will dare not provoke the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

Because they can't do without the company's healing pills. Not only that, they need to purchase healing pills in large quantities if they want to reduce casualties in the war.

Moreover, once Konoha knows about this, no matter whether the survivors of the Hidden Uzushio Village will join Konoha or not, Konoha will not allow the tragedy of the Whirlpool Country to happen again in the Wave Country.

Orochimaru didn't believe that the White Snake Medical Technology Company wanted to protect the survivors of the Hidden Uzushio Village, and that there was a ninja village that dared to make moves in secret.

"Imu, Mio, get ready and take out a new piece of Zero Tail meat. I need to prepare a scroll of the Reverse Cursed Blood Seal. We will go to the Land of Waves later."

The heat emanating from Orochimaru's palm turned the letter in his hand into ashes, and he stood up and walked out.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

"Yes."

Im and Hinata Mio followed behind Orochimaru.

"Reverse Cursed Blood Seal!"

Orochimaru once used a sealing technique to absorb the vitality of the Zero Tail's flesh, and this time was obviously more perfect than the last time.

"Imu, Mio, we're leaving."

Orochimaru put away the scroll and walked over to the two people who were ready. He put on his white hood, wrapped the snake tail hanging behind him around his waist, and placed his hands on their shoulders.

Swish-!

The moment they activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, the three of them disappeared from the room.

Wave Country, White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

"elder sister!"

In the president's office, Im excitedly hugged Xueliu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. They were sisters, and their parents died because of the bloodline disease of the Ibri clan's bloodline limit.

"Imu, long time no see!"

Xueliu touched Im's brown hair. The pseudonym she used before, Yiliu, was based on Im's and her own name. She envied Im who was able to stay by Lord Orochimaru's side for a long time to assist her in conducting experiments.

Although she is envious, she will not be jealous of her sister. With her personality, she is more suitable to be by Lord Orochimaru's side and assist him in conducting experiments.

Volume 123: Chapter : Changing the Environment of the Rain Country

"Orochimaru, shall we continue to influence you in the Wave Country?"

Uzumaki Chigusa looked at Orochimaru worriedly. Personally, she didn't want to join Konoha even if she had to rebuild the village on the ruins of Uzushiogakure. Konoha was involved in too many things.

The most important thing is that they are outsiders in Konoha... It takes time to integrate into Konoha, and it also takes time for the people of Konoha to accept them.

After all, going to Konoha means living under someone else's roof, and it might not even be as good as life in the Land of Waves.

This is the head of the Uzumaki clan...

Hinata Mio stood expressionlessly behind the sofa, like an exquisite doll, her white eyes looking at Uzumaki Chigusa with a hint of curiosity.

"No, the four major ninja villages are suspicious of each other. They no longer have the chance to cooperate with each other, let alone attack you again."

Orochimaru said with certainty that the Namen-do of the Uzushiogakure Village is now next to the square in the center of the company building, and the library is just below. All the most important books and scrolls related to the seal of the Uzumaki clan were secretly sent to the library when the village was invaded.

This is also the reason why the major ninja villages did not find the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique in the Hidden Uzushio Village, but only found some basic books and scrolls.

"Chigusa, the leader of the Rain Country, Hanzo, came to the company not long ago. You should have heard that the friction between the ninja villages of various countries has intensified. He is worried that if a war breaks out between the countries, it will affect the Rain Country, so he came to the company to seek help."

Orochimaru used the term "ninja village" instead of "big ninja village" because once a war breaks out, the ninja village represents the country, and their previous actions represent the ninja village.

"In other words, the four great ninja villages only have one chance to join forces and launch an invasion of the Uzushiogakure Village. Now they can no longer trust each other."

Orochimaru never thought that this would happen after he killed all the ninjas from the villages that invaded the Hidden Uzushio Village.

She didn't think much about it at the time, she just thought that since they were already here, they might as well stay.

Who could have thought that an unintentional act would lead to such consequences? It was equivalent to her actions igniting the fuse of the Second Ninja World War, and the actions of the ninja villages in various countries were equivalent to blowing air on the fuse, accelerating its burning.

"You are now under the protection of the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company. If they dare to send ninjas here secretly, it would be equivalent to destroying the cooperation with the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company. Once they lose the drugs from the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company, the ninja village will be at a disadvantage before the war even begins. Anyone with a little bit of common sense will understand what is more important."

Orochimaru raised his head slightly, a confident smile on his face under the hood.

The White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company has demonstrated its strength to the ninja villages of various countries. The weapons equipped on the small truck are enough to show that the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company cannot be easily manipulated. If you want to take action against the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.

When Uzumaki Chigusa saw Orochimaru's confident look, the worries in her heart disappeared without a trace.

Orochimaru took off his hood. It was too rude to talk to Uzumaki Chigusa with his hood on.

"what……"

Uzumaki Chigusa looked at the porcelain-white horns on both sides of Orochimaru's head, and unable to suppress her curiosity, she reached out and touched them.

What does it feel like to touch?

Everyone, including Kakuzu, was curious about what the sharp horns that only appeared in Sage Mode felt like.

"Chigusa, that's enough!"

Orochimaru raised his hand and pushed away Uzumaki Chigusa's endlessly touching hand, and said seriously: "There is one thing I want to know what you and the survivors of the Uzushiogakure think."

"what's up?"

Seeing Orochimaru so serious, Uzumaki Chigusa put away her playful thoughts.

"In the future, do you plan to rebuild your home in the ruins of the Uzushiogakure Village, join Konoha? Or...stay in the Land of Waves?"

Orochimaru doesn't care about the fate of the survivors of the Hidden Uzumaki Village. She has already cultivated many cells of the Uzumaki clan, so she will not lack experimental subjects in the future. In addition, she has the Zero Tail cells, so she doesn't need the Uzumaki clan to assist her in her research.

She didn't care even more about whether they stayed or left. The reason she wanted to ask clearly was to make preparations in advance and pave the way for their stay or departure.

As the saying goes, save people to the end, send Buddha to the west.

Since she is involved in this mess, no matter what decision the survivors of the Uzushio Village make, Orochimaru will help them to the end, and she also has the ability to do so.

"I don't know, but I respect their opinion."

Uzumaki Chigusa wanted to know what the people in the village were thinking. Maybe some wanted to join Konoha, maybe some wanted to rebuild their homes in the ruins of Uzushiogakure Village, or maybe... some wanted to stay in the Land of Waves.

In any case, now that the Uzushiogakure Village has been destroyed, she will not make a decision for them.

"Are you sure you want to do that?"

There was a hint of surprise in Orochimaru's eyes. Uzumaki Chigusa's action was equivalent to having voluntarily given up the idea of rebuilding the Uzushio Village, otherwise, he would not have said such a thing.

Uzumaki Chigusa raised her arms and shouted that she wanted to rebuild the Uzushiogakure Village. Wouldn’t the survivors of the Uzushiogakure Village follow her and follow her to rebuild the new Uzushiogakure Village?

"People change, and I've been thinking a lot during this time."

Uzumaki Chigusa smiled and said that the only way to know what the survivors of the village think is to ask.

"Really?... Let me know when you've made your decision."

Orochimaru was too lazy to meddle too much in the affairs of the survivors of the Uzushio Village. He looked at Qinghe, Xueliu, and Kakuzu and asked, "How is the situation in the Rain Country?"

"Lord Orochimaru, regarding the Rain Country, destroying the Rain Mountain in the Rain Country may require a large amount of chakra explosives."

Xueliu placed the document containing all the data on Rain Mountain on the coffee table, pushed it in front of Orochimaru, and said respectfully, "Lord Orochimaru, please take a look."

"Ah."

Orochimaru picked up the document and looked at the data of Rain Mountain. As she had guessed before, the reason why it rains all year round in Rain Country is because of this mountain.

Using chakra explosives to blow up the mountain is the worst option. For her, who is already proficient in using fairy arts, there is another way to prevent the Rain Mountain from blocking the flow of air and change the climate of the Rain Country.

That is the Immortal Technique: Inorganic Reincarnation, which gives life to the Rain Mountain, turning it from a towering mountain into a mountain range of multiple mountains connected together.

However, doing so would require a large amount of senjutsu chakra, which she could not do alone and required external support.

The only question is, is the Rain Kingdom worth her seeking outside help?

From the current perspective, the Rain Country is already in the same boat with the company, but who can predict what will happen in the future?

How high-spirited Hanzo was in his middle age. Look at Hanzo in his old age. Not only did he insist on power, but he was also used by Danzo Shimura, which directly led to the birth of Six Paths Pain. The idea of Akatsuki to bring peace to the ninja world was distorted.

When people get older, they tend to do stupid things. This is the same for everyone.

Not only Hanzo, but also the Konoha high-level officials, look at how determined her dear Sarutobi teacher is now. The Sky Ninja attacked Konoha without saying a word and rushed forward with Shimura Danzo and two Hokage advisors.

He even contributed to the famous scene that is still talked about by the villagers today, where he used the Vajra Ruyi Stick to push the Aerial Fortress of the Sky Ninja out of Konoha.

The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan regard the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen as their idol.

The Monkey Demon also became an idol of the monkeys in Monkey Mountain, and they all wanted to have an indestructible body as strong as him.

Of course, people have not forgotten Danzo, the midnight guardian of Konoha, who assisted with the Wind Style. There are rumors that the reason his Wind Style was so durable was because he had been drinking Shimura's medicinal tea.

This rumor led to a steady increase in the sales of Shimura medicinal tea.

As the person involved, Danzo Shimura was both angry and helpless. What else could he do after the rumors spread like that?

Make money with tears!

As a result, the people who bought the most Shimura medicinal tea were actually from the Shimura clan.

Some people even specifically found Danzo Shimura and asked him if drinking Shimura's medicinal tea would make learning Wind Release faster.

This left Danzo Shimura speechless and he didn't know how to answer.

The worst off are the two Hokage assistants who have made great contributions but are most easily overlooked by people.

It was because Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo performed so brilliantly that they attracted everyone's attention, while they, as human batteries providing chakra, were ignored, and not many people saw the battle that took place outside the village.

When Orochimaru knew about these things, he really couldn't hold it in anymore. The person who spread the rumors was also a talented person, who could link ninjutsu with Shimura's medicinal tea.

Let’s take a look at the Konoha high-ranking officials who were entering their twilight years in the original work. They did one stupid thing after another, and except for the incident after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, there was no trace of them, as if they did not exist.
