Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

In his eyes hidden by sunglasses, Orochimaru is a treasure that can bring huge benefits to the family and is more precious than any insect!

From Orochimaru's interest in parasitic insects, Aburame Shisuke thought of the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans that were making a lot of money, and also thought of the Hyouryoku pills and skin care products whose formulas were improved by Orochimaru, as well as the Ibri clan whose bloodline disease was cured by her, and the Akimichi clan's three-color secret medicine.

Not to mention the Akimichi clan's military rations, the revenue from the White Snake brand skincare store alone is enough to make people envious.

It would be even better if Orochimaru's interest in the parasitic bugs could bring more benefits to the Aburame clan.

The Aburame clan uses their bodies to feed the insects, but they use chakra instead of their own flesh and blood, so it costs a lot of money.

Shimura's medicinal tea business has brought a lot of profits to the Aburame clan, but who would think that they make too much money?

With enough money, maybe you can breed more powerful insects.

As a member of the insect-using clan, the most expensive thing is not to raise insects in the body, but to cultivate insects with special abilities.

Providing Orochimaru with some parasitic insects in exchange for the possibility of a new species of parasitic insects being born is a win-win no matter how you look at it.

If Aburame Shisuke hadn't been worried about scaring Orochimaru, he would even want to prepare a larger container for Orochimaru to take away more parasites.

Apart from anything else, there are plenty of bad guys in the Aburame clan.

A new variety?

Orochimaru looked down at the container containing the parasitic worms, thinking about something. Aburame Shisuke's words gave her new inspiration.

If the genes of the desert ants and double-tailed scorpions from the Demonic Desert were added to the genes of the parasitic insects, I wonder what kind of insects would be bred...

Possessing the bite force of a desert ant?

The size and strength of the double-tailed scorpion?

I wonder if genes from organisms other than insects can be incorporated into the genes of parasites...

It’s really exciting!

Orochimaru decided to try genetic experiments on parasitic insects while studying them.

At Aburame Shisuke's home, Aburame Shisuke stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, and thought about what Orochimaru called him.

Shisuke...Uncle...

Am I that old already?

Being called uncle by such a cute girl seems to be not a bad thing...

I hope that child can bring surprises to me and the Aburame clan. After all, she is Orochimaru! The Orochimaru who improved the formula of the Hyouryo Pill and the Three-Colored Secret Medicine and solved the Ibri clan's bloodline disease!

Shisuke Aburame is still very confident in Orochimaru and believes that she can cultivate a new species of parasitic insects.

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

The third Raikage, Ai, received the White Snake Medical Technology Company from the Land of Waves in the Raikage Building. The Land of Waves was once a barren land that was looked down upon by all countries and ninja villages.

But it was in such a barren land that a company like White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company was born. It has an extremely exaggerated ability to make money. Its products are sold to the five major countries and many small countries. Even the Snow Country in the far south has the footprints of White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

The reason why Ai attaches so much importance to the visit of White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company is because the economic strength of this company cannot be underestimated. This visit may bring considerable benefits to Yunyin Village.

So many years have passed since the First Ninja World War, and the Hidden Cloud Village has been recuperating and recovering its strength. Every time the Eight-Tails goes berserk, it brings huge losses to the Hidden Cloud Village.

If the First Hokage had not died long ago, he would have doubted the First Hokage's intention in assigning the tailed beasts. Was he suppressing the strength of the ninja village by letting the tailed beasts run wild?

This is based on the fact that Kumogakure has the Amber Gun, a ninja tool that can seal the tailed beasts.

"Ms. Yiliu, welcome."

Ai looked at Yi Liu who walked in alone, leaving her bodyguard outside the office. He stood up and welcomed her with a smile on his face.

Yi Liu faced the Third Raikage Ai, who stood up as strong as a small mountain, and said with a polite smile: "Third Raikage, I am here as the head of the White Snake Medical Technology Company to issue a long-term escort mission to the Hidden Cloud Village."

"Escort mission?"

"Yes, our company's products need to be delivered to various towns in the Land of Lightning. We may encounter danger along the way, so we need to hire ninjas from Kumogakure to escort them."

"Ms. Yiliu, as far as I know, White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company sells skin care products and Shimura medicinal tea in many countries. You have hired ninjas from more than one ninja village to escort you. When you are heading to the Land of Waves, ninjas from different ninja villages will meet and fight due to hatred."

Ai raised a very realistic question. As someone who had personally experienced the First Ninja World War, he knew very well that the hatred between the major ninja villages would not be put down with the arrival of peace, and the same was true for Kumogakure.

"Third Raikage, you don't need to worry about this. Our company has established multiple ports in the Land of Waves to prevent ninjas from different countries from meeting each other."

"very good."

Ai was very satisfied that the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company had taken this into consideration. After a conversation, the long-term cooperation between Yunyin Village and the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company was finalized.

After Yiliu and his group left, the Raikage's secretary asked, "Lord Raikage, do we need to inform the Daimyo about this?"

"unnecessary."

Ai does not think that this matter needs to be reported to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning. The village's expenses are obviously not enough to rely solely on the funds provided by the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning. It is a good thing for the Hidden Cloud Village to establish long-term cooperation with the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

Yi Liu walked out of the Raikage Building and looked up at the uniquely shaped Raikage Building. Next she was going to the Rock Village in the Land of Earth, and the Sand Village in the Land of Wind, which had an extremely harsh environment.

The Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water, due to the policy of the Bloody Mist Village that had been hinted at by the first Mizukage, was carried forward by the second and third generations. Not to mention visiting it, Lord Orochimaru wouldn't even let her go to that damn place. The goods could be sold there entirely thanks to the merchants in the Hidden Mist Village who were responsible for purchasing them.

The transportation of goods in the Water Country depends entirely on hiring rebellious and wandering ninjas, as well as members of the Ibri clan.

If the rebel ninjas and wandering ninjas are unreliable, or want to kill people and rob them for both commissions and goods, the Ibri clan will have no choice but to do it themselves. The Ibri clan's bloodline limits and the ninjutsu used in conjunction with the bloodline limits are enough to deal with the rebel ninjas and wandering ninjas.

(Don't be fooled by the Second Mizukage's mustache and easygoing nature; he's a true battle maniac. He formulated a law to keep the Hidden Mist Village secret, completely isolating it from the outside world. The Hidden Mist Village was called the Bloody Mist Village a long time ago. After Uchiha Obito controlled Yagura Karutagi, the name Bloody Mist Village took on a different meaning. You know, Uchiha Obito's revenge on the Hidden Mist Village.)

The country of the sea, the mother island.

"Are you the one who spent a lot of money looking for me in the black market?"

On a bridge, Kakuzu looked at the person in front of him, moved his wrist, and his wrist separated from his arm. Black blood vessels connected the wrist and arm, and his flying fist pierced the arm of the person who was facing away from Kakuzu.

Just as Lord Orochimaru said, we must not let our guard down when facing this guy.

A faint smoke emanated from Qinghe's body, and his body was somewhere between smoke and solid matter.

"what?"

Kakuzu's pupils suddenly contracted, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face, he retracted his fist and looked at the smoke drifting away from Qinghe.

"Smoke... Could it be that you are from the Ibri clan? No, the Ibri clan's bloodline limit has a fatal flaw. How can you appear here as if nothing happened?"

Kakuzu recognized Qinghe's true identity at a glance. He knew some information about the Ibri clan, but he only knew that the Ibri clan's bloodline limit had a fatal flaw. It was because of this that the Ibri clan was unable to join Konoha.

"That's a relief. There's a gentleman who wishes to see you, Mr. Kakuzu. Please come with me."

Qinghe looked at Kakuzu, thinking of his flying fist and the black line connecting his fist and arm.

Did Lord Orochimaru already know about this guy's abilities?

You are truly worthy of being Lord Orochimaru!

"Not interested in."

Jiao didn't feel Qinghe's ill will towards him. He thought he couldn't kill him in a short time, so he didn't want to get entangled with him too much. If he had that much time, he might as well kill a few more bounty targets.

"What if it brings you a lot of money? More than you would have gained by spending time looking for bounty targets."

Qinghe looked at Kakuzu's back and spoke slowly.

"what?"

Kakuzu paused and turned to look at Qinghe, his eyes fixed on him.

Volume 73: Chapter 4 (K) The Sorrow of a Small Nation

In front of the gate of Konoha, an elegant woman with her signature red hair registered with the gatekeeper, then walked in, gazing at the distant scenery and the iconic Hokage Rock, her gaze lingering for a moment on the stone carvings of the First and Second Hokage.

"Konoha is the same as it was when I last came here. Nothing has changed."

Uzumaki Chigusa sighed, a smile spreading across her face.

I don’t know if there is any new book by Si Ye!

If Miye publishes a new book, he will definitely give priority to supplying large villages, right?

"Chief...can't you just wait for me?"

A girl with a large scroll on her back ran to the gate of Konoha, panting. Her beautiful red hair was tied into two pigtails, and she had a pretty face and rosy skin that was glowing with water. Sweat dripped down her cheeks. She looked at Uzumaki Chigusa who turned around slowly with resentment.

"Xiao Caicai, you are too slow."

Uzumaki Chigusa had a gentle smile on her face.

"How dare you say that..."

The girl's fists hardened, and she walked to the security guard to register without saying a word.

"Um, please..."

Sensing the resentment emanating from the girl, the two guards handed over the registration book.

The girl quickly wrote down her name, glared at the two guards who dared not breathe, and snorted.

"Is it funny?"

"It's not good to vent your anger on others, Xiao Caicai."

A hand was placed on the girl's head.

"Clan leader!"

The girl gritted her teeth and felt that the scroll on her back had become much heavier. She wished she could swing the scroll and knock Uzumaki Chigusa away.

The two guards watched them leave.

"Clan leader, where are we going? To visit the Hokage at the Hokage Building? Or to meet Granny Mito?"

Uzumaki Nano followed Uzumaki Chigusa, chirping like a lively lark, completely devoid of her previous resentment and anger.

"First, visit the Third Hokage, then visit Mito-sama."

Uzumaki Chigusa looked at Uzumaki Nano out of the corner of her eye and thought that this child's temper came and went quickly.

The news that the head of the Uzushiogakure Village had arrived in Konoha soon reached Danzo Shimura.

After finally finishing the reports and documents, Danzo Shimura originally planned to go for a walk outside. The Anbu training did not require his supervision. However, when he learned that the head of the Uzumaki clan, Chigusa Uzumaki, had arrived, he gave up the idea of going out for a walk.

It's not for any other reason than that he doesn't get along well with Uzumaki Chigusa, no, it's more accurate to say that he doesn't get along well with anyone in the Uzumaki clan, including Lord Mito who has always disliked him.

-------------------------------------

The potential of parasites is higher than I thought.

Is it because the Aburame clan has bred them generation after generation, and through the process of survival of the fittest, they have selected the parasites with the best genes?

Orochimaru placed his hands on the platform covered with spells, and the spells emitted a faint light as chakra was injected into them. The insect eggs in the center of the spells absorbed Orochimaru's chakra, and grew larger and larger from the size of a grain of rice until they reached the size of a fist.

boom--!

The eggs burst open, and sticky liquid splattered everywhere.

"Am I too impatient?"

Orochimaru did not feel upset about the failure of the experiment, but calmly analyzed the reasons for the failure.

She transplanted the genes of desert ants, two-tailed scorpions, and giant centipedes into insect eggs at once, and used chakra to ripen the eggs, hoping to create insects with huge size and powerful strength.

This caused the parasitic insect eggs to explode because they could not withstand the genes of the desert ants, two-tailed scorpions, and giant centipedes.

The parasite's eggs contain unformed parasites that are highly plastic. They have been transplanted with the genes of three ferocious insects and exploded under my accelerated ripening.

Perhaps because of the nature of the parasitic insects to feed on chakra, the parasitic insect eggs absorbed the chakra and hatched rapidly, causing problems with the genes that had not yet been fully integrated, and the gene chain collapsed, causing the entire egg to explode.

Next time, I can slow down a bit and add desert ant genes to the parasite's eggs first. I'll wait until the parasite has fully adapted to the desert ant's genes before continuing with the next experiment...

Transform the parasite bit by bit.

Orochimaru wrote down his analysis of the failed experiment and the next experiment to be conducted in his notebook.

Wait, I didn't get the parasitic bugs from the Aburame clan to breed them!

Orochimaru suddenly remembered that he came to the parasitic insects to study chakra toxins, not to breed new species of insects based on the parasitic insects.

Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

No, it's not putting the cart before the horse. My original intention was to study parasitic insects. Now I have a certain understanding of them. I still have a long way to go if I want to develop chakra toxin.

It would be great if this toxin could be developed before the Otsutsuki clan arrives.

There is still a long time before the Otsutsuki clan arrives, and Orochimaru has enough time to develop chakra poison.

Besides, Orochimaru doesn't think that it is enough to just prepare chakra poison when facing the Otsutsuki clan. She needs to prepare more things that can pose a threat to the Otsutsuki clan. She doesn't have enough trump cards.
