Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Uchiha Yaohuo's eyes turned red after hearing what Orochimaru said. He left a harsh remark and turned around and ran away.

"I'm so sorry, we tried to stop him."

"I'm causing trouble for you!"

Uchiha Yaohuo's companion bowed and apologized, then chased after him.

"Orochimaru, Yaohuo is causing you trouble."

The guiding jonin stepped forward and said that in today's Konoha, almost no one did not know Orochimaru, and he was the same. He happened to be nearby when Orochimaru's house collapsed.

"As the guiding jonin of Uchiha Yaohuo Yaohuo, you seem to be more exhausted, right?"

Orochimaru looked at the helpless guiding jonin, waved his hand, and didn't care that Uchiha Yaohuo came to disturb her.

She was still looking forward to an Uchiha with the Sharingan opening to challenge her, so that she would have the opportunity to test whether liquid contact lenses could resist Sharingan illusions, which was very important for subsequent research.

Volume 84: Chapter Orochimaru is not interested in becoming Hokage

"Sarutobi-sensei, is this my new home?"

Orochimaru looked at the house in front of him. It was several times larger than the house he lived in before. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a villa.

"You like to do research. This house has a large laboratory, which is enough for you to use for research. Orochimaru, what do you think of your new home? Although it is far from the bustling part of the village, it is quiet enough here. No one will disturb your research. You can also practice in the open space over there. How is it? Do you still like it?"

There was a hint of boasting and pride on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, as if he was showing Orochimaru how powerful he was as a teacher.

This was actually a new home built specifically for Orochimaru after consultation between him, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Enma Mito, considering that some of her research might blow up her own home.

Orochimaru's new home is located away from the bustling area of the village, close to the edge of the village.

This way she could bomb however she wanted without causing casualties or causing complaints from the villagers.

"pretty good."

Orochimaru looked around at the place where his new home was, and it looked more and more familiar.

This place...

Isn't this the place that was allocated to the Uchiha clan as their territory after the Nine-Tails Rebellion in the original novel?

Orochimaru never expected that this place would become her new home, that it would become the Uchiha clan's territory, and her training place.

"Speaking of which, Sarutobi-sensei, have you forgotten something?"

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with his golden eyes, as if reminding him of the past.

"Forgot something?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused.

"Regarding the Hyuga clan, I have resolved a potential threat for the village. What level of mission do you think this should be considered?"

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with shining eyes, looking like a real money-grubber.

She is not short of money now, but that doesn't mean she will give up the money she deserves.

"This……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen considered that Orochimaru had resolved the crisis that the Hyuga clan might threaten the village, so it would be no problem for him to be given an A-level mission. However, in terms of Konoha's finances, the funds provided by the daimyo were sufficient, but not completely enough.

"Orochimaru, if that's the case, then the village will give you the money to build a new home..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru's new home in front of him and had to mention the construction cost of this house with a laboratory.

"Tsk! Sarutobi-sensei is so stingy."

Orochimaru glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and walked towards his new home.

"That's not being petty. Orochimaru, you have to understand that being the Hokage is difficult for me too."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and followed Orochimaru.

It’s hard to be a Hokage, it’s hard to be a teacher!

Considering that Danzo Shimura made so much money just from Shimura medicinal tea, it is impossible to say that it is not sour at all.

But as the Hokage, how could he get involved in that kind of business?

Even if he is shameless, he still has to consider the impact.

"Really? Only Sarutobi-sensei would be willing to take on such a troublesome job as Hokage. You have very little personal time, and you have to manage all sorts of troublesome matters, including the Hyuga clan's internal strife. It's not right to intervene, and it's not right not to intervene."

Orochimaru sighed, opened the door and walked into the house.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart sank when he heard this. He had trained Orochimaru to have her succeed him as the Fourth Hokage, and judging by her reaction...

Orochimaru doesn't want to be Hokage at all. If she is allowed to be Hokage in the future...

Could it be that this incident made Orochimaru realize that being Hokage is a very troublesome job?

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized the seriousness of the matter. Whether he could retire early in the future depended entirely on whether Orochimaru could become Hokage.

Judging from the current new generation of Konoha, they have shown extraordinary IQ, EQ and ways of dealing with things at a young age. They are proficient in the Five Elements Ninjutsu, have extraordinary attainments in medical ninjutsu, and have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage Tobirama. They have a very high reputation in Konoha and have excellent relations with all the major ninja clans. Orochimaru is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to be the future Hokage, no doubt about it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that not only he thought so, but also Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mito. From the way they handled the internal strife of the Hyuga clan this time, it can be seen that their attitude towards Orochimaru is better than that towards him, the Hokage.

Sigh... How can Orochimaru be interested in becoming Hokage?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in great pain, thinking that many students in the ninja school dreamed of becoming Hokage, but what about Orochimaru?

She only studies things that interest her, and doesn't even bother to pay attention to things that don't interest her, let alone become Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen found that he, the Hokage, could not find any reason to arouse Orochimaru's interest in the position of Hokage.

Orochimaru, who was wandering around in her empty new home, had no idea that her beloved teacher Sarutobi had stood there in deep thought for a long time because of her casual words.

"Sarutobi-sensei, won't you come up and take a look?"

Orochimaru opened the window and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was standing at the door, wondering what he was thinking.

"I'm coming."

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the room with a smile, thinking about how to get Orochimaru interested in becoming Hokage. This was even more difficult than when he first learned ninjutsu at the ninja school.

"Orochimaru, if, I mean if, one day Konoha needs you to become Hokage, what will you do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked casually.

"Is it okay to leave it to Jiraiya or Danzo-sama? Koharu-sama and En-sama are also fine, right?"

Although Orochimaru didn't understand why Sarutobi asked this, he still gave his answer.

Hokage?

Whoever wants to be the boss can be the boss, as long as it’s not me!

This is Orochimaru's attitude towards the position of Hokage. Maybe in the eyes of others, Hokage is the supreme throne, but in her opinion, it is a position that is neither high nor low and can suffocate people.

You have to face the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, and ask for funds like a grandson, and get scolded no matter what.

You will have to face the leaders of various ninja clans and deal with various matters. If you don't handle them well, the blame will be all yours. If you handle them well, it is your responsibility.

Not only that, the Hokage has to take charge no matter what happens, and the mere thought of it is suffocating.

That's indeed the case...

Sarutobi Hiruzen found that he was not surprised at all. Orochimaru's answer was within his expectations.

It seems that if we want to make Orochimaru interested in the position of Hokage, we need to take it slow.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly. He knew very well that this matter could not be rushed. Besides, he was still young and had plenty of time.

Night, Senju Mansion.

"Orochimaru, I heard your new home has been built."

Mito Uzumaki had a kind smile on his face as he looked at Orochimaru and asked, "What are your plans?"

Tsunade paused while eating, and the chopsticks in her hand snapped into two pieces.

"Mother-in-law Mito, I was just about to tell you this. I plan to move there tomorrow. I have a laboratory in my new home, which will be very convenient for conducting research."

Orochimaru said with a smile, his eyes falling on Tsunade who was breaking the chopsticks.

"I'm stuffed."

Tsunade stood up, cleared the dishes and took them to the kitchen.

"Orochimaru, you know Tsuna's temper."

Mito Uzumaki looked at the angry Tsunade, feeling helpless. How could a grandmother not know what her granddaughter was thinking? She simply couldn't bear to see Orochimaru move away.

During the time that Orochimaru lived at home, Tsunade smiled more often.

"Mother-in-law Mito, I know Tsunade's temper, you don't have to worry."

Orochimaru took out the scroll and unsealed it. A set of skin care products with slightly different packaging appeared in her hands. He placed his finger in front of his lips, lowered his voice, blinked, and said, "This is a skin care product suitable for use in the summer. It's not currently available on the market. I got a few sets from the White Snake Medical Technology Company."

"Then I'll accept it."

Uzumaki Mito was not polite to Orochimaru. She had been using the White Snake brand skincare products since Orochimaru gave them to her. She looked a lot younger and was very interested in this set of skincare products suitable for summer use. She planned to try it out soon.

As for the upset Tsunade, it was up to Orochimaru to appease her. If she intervened, who knows what would happen.

After dinner, Orochimaru walked into Tsunade's room and a pillow flew in his face.

"Angry?"

Orochimaru caught the pillow with his face and looked at Tsunade who was glaring at her angrily, "Tsunade, I haven't figured out how to tell you this. This is my fault."

"Give me back the pillow!" Tsunade stretched out her hand.

"That won't do. Have you ever seen someone who's been beaten return the weapon to the one who beat him?"

Orochimaru sat on the edge of the bed holding a pillow, with an attitude of "if you're capable, come and get it yourself", which made Tsunade so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

"Ignore you!"

Tsunade was lying on the bed facing the wall, with her back to Orochimaru.

"I prepared a gift for you, don't you want it?"

Seeing that Tsunade didn't respond, Orochimaru sighed and said, "Well, if you don't want it, I'll have to give it to Jiraiya. Maybe he'll use it to please the beautiful big sister."

"Who said I don't want it!"

Tsunade sat up suddenly and glared at Orochimaru angrily.

"Here's a gift for you, skincare perfect for summer."

Orochimaru gave Tsunade a set of skin care products that she had prepared long ago, saying that it was a summer limited edition. In fact, it was just the skin care products sold in the Wind Country with the formula changed and sold as summer limited edition skin care products.

This marketing method not only works in another world, it works even better in this world.

"If it weren't for the fact that it would be a waste if you gave it to Jiraiya, I wouldn't want it!"

Tsunade said awkwardly while holding the skin care products. She was still a little angry, but not as angry as before.

Orochimaru pointed out the window and suggested, "I'm moving out tomorrow. How about we go have a gamble?"

"set off!"

Tsunade threw the skin care products aside, held Orochimaru's arms with both hands, and an excited smile appeared on her cute little face.

So easy to fool...

Orochimaru knew that he had to start with Tsunade's interests and hobbies.

Although doing so may seem a bit indulgent to her, as long as she is by her side, any money Tsunade loses will be won back by her.

Volume 85: Chapter 4 (K) The Concept of Immortal Explosives

On the first night after Orochimaru moved into his new home, Tsunade and Jiraiya came to celebrate with her.

"Orochimaru! Congratulations!"

Tsunade and Jiraiya held up their glasses filled with juice.

"Thank you."

Orochimaru raised his glass and clinked it with theirs.

Jiraiya, who had never tasted a drink meant for adults, looked at the juice in the cup and yelled in dissatisfaction: "Orochimaru, if we're celebrating your move to a new house, why are we drinking juice? I want to drink! I want to drink!"
