Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

“When will I receive treatment?”

Uchiha Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief. Of course she wanted to survive if she could, and now she wanted to get better quickly so that she wouldn't cause trouble for Orochimaru.

"My advice and my choice is to treat it conservatively. This is what's best for you. Treat it little by little as your body grows. Don't expect to cure it all in one go. Do you understand?"

Orochimaru's fingers poked Uchiha Hikaru's forehead again and again, making her forehead turn red.

"Ming...understood..."

Uchiha Guang covered his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

"I understand. Now, the most important thing is to deal with the scars on your body."

Orochimaru used the herbs in the laboratory's medicine room and combined them with the vitality extracted from the meat cultured with Zero Tail cells using the Reverse Curse Blood Seal to create an ointment to remove scars.

The crystal clear ointment appears translucent red under the light.

Orochimaru walked into the room with the ointment in his hand, showed it to Uchiha Hikaru, and asked, "Xiao Hikaru, do you want to apply it yourself, or should I help you?"

Orochimaru felt that it was unnecessary to ask this question. Given Uchiha Hikaru's personality, she should be able to apply it herself and use the Shadow Clone Technique...

Wait, Xiaoguang doesn't know the Shadow Clone Technique...

Orochimaru just realized that Uchiha Hikaru did not know the Shadow Clone Technique.

The one who developed the Shadow Clone Technique was Tobirama Senju, but she had lived in the Warring States Period, many years before Tobirama Senju was born.

"Can you help me apply it? I might not be able to do it myself..."

Uchiha Guang shrugged and spoke in a low voice, the tips of his ears exposed outside his hair were red. He felt shy and afraid of being rejected.

"Ok."

Orochimaru was very restrained and did not let himself show a helpless expression, so as to prevent this sensitive and delicate child from thinking too much.

"Mio, Im, please go out for a while."

Orochimaru said this to Hinata Mio and Im, she knew very well how much Uchiha Hikaru resisted having his scars seen by others.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Yim turned and walked out.

"it is good."

Hinata Mio looked at Uchiha Hikaru's physical data and walked behind Im.

After the two of them walked out of the room, Uchiha Guang took off his clothes with a slight tremor.

Orochimaru applied the ointment on her body. The cool touch made her unable to help but make a sound. As the ointment was applied, the scars began to itch, so itchy that she couldn't help but want to scratch. Her body was tense as she tried to suppress the urge to scratch.

"It'll be a little itchy, but it'll go away soon."

Orochimaru noticed Uchiha Hikaru's subtle movements and sped up the application of the ointment. Fortunately, the scars were concentrated on her upper body and abdomen, so the ointment was applied quickly.

"Be patient, what comes next is the most important. If you can't hold on, I will knock you out."

Orochimaru used the Palm Fairy Technique to stimulate Uchiha Hikaru's cells throughout his body to accelerate the absorption of the ointment.

"I'll hold on! Woo…"

Uchiha Guang bit her lips, her body tensed, the wounds all over her body itched unbearably, and she relied entirely on her willpower to persevere, wanting to get rid of those ugly scars.

The ointment was absorbed visibly, and soon the scars on Uchiha Hikaru's body were replaced by new skin and turned into dead skin.

"You'd better take a shower."

Orochimaru said, pointing in the direction of the bathroom.

"Um……"

Uchiha Guang looked at the dead skin on his body that could be torn off with a light tear. When he thought that he was covered with it, he couldn't bear it anymore. He thought of himself standing in front of Orochimaru in this posture, and turned into a black shadow and rushed into the bathroom.

The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.

A moment later, the bathroom door opened, and Uchiha Hikaru poked his head out and said shyly, "Orochimaru...clothes..."

"Here, put on this dress first. We can change clothes and underwear when we get home later."

Orochimaru took off his white robe and threw it over. Uchiha Hikaru stretched out her hands to catch the white robe. It felt cool to the touch, but she could feel Orochimaru's body temperature and the unique smell on her body.

"Um……"

Uchiha Hikaru put on a white robe and dragged it directly to the ground.

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Hikaru, who walked out of the bathroom like a child wearing adult clothes. He walked over, put his hands on her shoulders, and shrunk the robe to a size that fit her.

"what……"

Uchiha Hikaru looked at the white robe in surprise.

"This is not an ordinary snakeskin robe. It is made from the snake skin of one of the three snake princess immortals in Longdi Cave. Even if it is cooked with Amaterasu, it will take a long time."

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Hikaru's messy hair and couldn't help but take out a comb to comb her hair.

"No one has ever... combed my hair... No one has ever been so gentle to me... Orochimaru, you are the first person who has been so kind to me."

Uchiha Guang squinted his eyes comfortably and spoke intermittently, trying hard to express his thoughts at the moment.

At this moment, she felt loved for the first time.

"Xiao Guang, I believe you have been treated gently before, but... you may not remember those memories anymore."

Orochimaru touched Uchiha Hikaru's long black hair, which was still a little frizzy no matter how he combed it, and gave up the idea of smoothing it out. The more he looked at this hairstyle, the more it looked like Uchiha Madara.

"Your Mangekyō Sharingan is the best proof of this."

Only when you witness the misfortune of your loved ones will you open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hikaru was only used as a weapon after he opened his Mangekyō Sharingan...

She had lost her memory before that, that was undeniable.

In order to control her more easily, did he tamper with her memory...

What a despicable and dirty method!

Volume 153: Chapter : Danzo-sama, please don't destroy Konoha's advantage

"Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru walked through the Root base, and the Root ninjas greeted her respectfully.

Lord Danzo, is there something you want me to come over for?

Could it be for Xiaoguang?

Orochimaru thought of the Sharingan on Danzo Shimura's arm in the original work and thought he was thinking too much.

The current Danzo Shimura is not the same Danzo Shimura in the original work. He is no longer as obsessed with the Uchiha clan.

"Orochimaru, you're here."

Shimura Danzo looked at Orochimaru who came in from outside and pointed to the four scrolls placed aside and said, "Let's take a look at the information that the Root intelligence ninja has collected."

"Do you even have information about Kirigakure?"

Orochimaru said in surprise that the intelligence of Kirigakure is the most difficult to collect. Because of the Kirigakure confidentiality law, it is very difficult for intelligence ninjas to sneak in. For this reason, it costs a lot to collect intelligence of Kirigakure.

"cough!"

Shimura Danzo coughed lightly and explained, "That's not Kirigakure's information."

He also wanted to place intelligence ninjas in Kirigakure, but it was too difficult to infiltrate Kirigakure.

In addition, Kirigakure and Konoha are separated by the sea, so he is not worried at all about what Kirigakure will do. It would be a complete waste of manpower to arrange intelligence ninjas to collect intelligence on Kirigakure.

"The information from Kirigakure is not important to Konoha. It seems that Danzo-sama thinks so too."

Orochimaru picked up the scroll and began to read it.

"That's natural."

The corners of Shimura Danzo's mouth curled up slightly.

Orochimaru quickly finished reading the last scroll, placed it on the desk, and said, "Whether it's Sand Village, Rock Village, or Cloud Village, they are all stockpiling various supplies, including food and strategic materials... It seems they are preparing for war."

"According to the intelligence we've gathered, Sunagakure is going to purchase a large amount of food from the Land of Rain. We must not let Sunagakure get that food."

Now that he knew that the major ninja villages were preparing for war, Danzo Shimura would never let them get their wish.

"Danzo-sama, are you planning to destroy the food purchased by Sunagakure so that they won't be able to prepare before launching a war?"

Orochimaru knew what Danzo Shimura wanted to do. He wanted to interfere with the three major ninja villages' preparations for stockpiling supplies, so that Konoha could gain a material advantage before the war officially started.

"If we send our people to burn the food that the Rain Country wants to sell to Sunagakure, that Salamander Hanzo will not let it go. The White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company also has industries in the Rain Country. If the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company is involved..."

Orochimaru didn't continue. She believed that Danzo Shimura understood the interests involved and that it would be very troublesome to take advantage of the food in the Land of Rain.

"Besides, White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company has cooperative relations with ninja villages in various countries. If we want to make a move on the supply side, we must force White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company to stop doing business with them."

Isn’t it a joke to ask White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company not to do business with the three major ninja villages?

As long as the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company still has business dealings with the three major ninja villages, it is unrealistic to restrict the three major ninja villages in terms of materials.

"It seems that it's a bit difficult to get supplies..."

Danzo Shimura had previously thought that his plan was good and would allow Konoha to gain an advantage before the war began. The only thing he had not considered was that White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company was a multinational company and had business dealings with ninja villages in various countries.

He can't possibly take action against the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company, right?

If he does something like this, his tenure as Hokage's assistant might be over...

Thinking of this, Danzo Shimura became a little eager to try. He had long wanted to stop wanting to be the Hokage's assistant. He didn't make much money and also had to help Sarutobi Hiruzen process documents.

"Orochimaru, do you think that disguising ourselves as ninjas from other ninja villages, destroying the goods shipped by the White Snake Medical Technology Company to the three major ninja villages, and provoking conflicts between the ninja villages, could lead to a fight between the three major ninja villages?"

Danzo Shimura came up with another plan. If it succeeded, Konoha would be able to sit back and watch the fight between the two tigers and reap the benefits.

"Danzo-sama, you have to consider that once the major ninja villages know that it is our people from Konoha who are causing trouble, they will most likely join forces to attack Konoha again. Then Konoha will be in danger."

Orochimaru admitted that Danzo Shimura's idea was good, but once the major ninja villages found out that it was Konoha who did it, they would not give up. The major ninja villages that were originally fighting each other would have to unite again.

The First Shinobi World War was a joint attack by all the major ninja villages on Konoha, and Konoha was defended by the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation by Tobirama Senju.

If all the major ninja villages attack Konoha together during this Ninja World War, Konoha will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

"And now, although we don't know how the elite ninja they sent died in the Uzushio Village, one thing is certain: the four major ninja villages all suspect that the other party killed their people."

"Therefore, once the war breaks out, the four major ninja villages will most likely fight on their own, which is beneficial to Konoha. With Konoha's strength, it is not afraid of fighting any ninja village."

Orochimaru analyzed the current situation in detail.

In a nutshell, Lord Danzo, please don't destroy Konoha's advantages!

"I see."

Shimura Danzo crossed his fingers and said in a deep voice.

How could he not hear the hidden meaning behind Orochimaru's words?

Does Danzo Shimura seem like someone who can't see the situation clearly?

Fortunately, I didn't act rashly. It turned out to be the right decision to consult Orochimaru.

It seems that my judgment was affected by the actions of the major ninja villages, and I almost did something that harmed Konoha.

Danzo Shimura had to admit that Orochimaru's analysis made sense. Instead of doing such insidious tricks, it would be better to wait for the war to break out.

Only after Orochimaru reminded him did he realize that Konoha had a huge advantage!

After leaving the Root base, Orochimaru planned to buy some food before returning home.

On the street, Orochimaru saw Tsunade walking in front of him.

Tsunade?

What's wrong with her?

Tsunade today no longer has the energy she used to have. She is in a low mood as if she has suffered a major blow.

Could it be that……

Orochimaru thought of the only possibility that could have caused Tsunade to become like this, so he quickened his pace and walked over to block her way.

"Tsunade, what's wrong with you?"
