Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Black Zetsu let out a sinister laugh and disappeared into the rocks. None of the Kumogakure ninjas who had experienced a crisis noticed that the black thing had appeared on the mountain.

The Eight-Tails' rampage caused a large number of casualties among the Hidden Cloud Ninja. If it weren't for the healing pills, the number of casualties would have been even greater.

Wave Country, White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company

Orochimaru sat on the sofa, looking at the latest information he had collected. The Eight-Tails' rampage caused such a big commotion that Kumogakure couldn't hide it even if they wanted to, not to mention that Kumogakure didn't hide it either.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Iwagakure Village is also trying to seal the tailed beasts within the Jinchūriki, but they don't have the proper sealing technique, and their numerous attempts have ended in failure."

Xueliu stood respectfully aside, looking at Orochimaru with a hint of excitement. She had not seen Lord Orochimaru for a long, long time.

"Sealing Technique..."

Orochimaru put down the scroll in his hand. Everything was just as she thought. The Uzumaki clan was attacked by various ninja villages and clans because of the sealing technique.

The problem is that Konoha has protected the information about Mito-san very well, and until now the information that she is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has not been leaked.

How did the major ninja villages know that the Nine-Tails was sealed in the body of Mito-chan using the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique?

The fact that Granny Mito is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is known only to the top leaders in Konoha, and they would never leak it out.

Black Zetsu?

The dark figure of Black Zetsu suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's mind.

The existence of the Uzumaki clan would affect its plan. With its ability to quietly collect intelligence, it was normal for it to know that it was Granny Mito who sealed the Nine-Tails.

So, was it Black Zetsu who spread the information...and this was the real reason why the Hidden Uzushio Village was invaded and destroyed?

Orochimaru pondered for a long time. Among all the people, only Black Zetsu had the greatest motive, and only he, a black slime that had been hiding for thousands of years, could hide behind the scenes and plan all this.

"Qinghe, this is a letter from Zhiliyu to you."

Orochimaru took out a letter and placed it on the coffee table. This was the letter that Chiriyu asked her to bring to Qinghe before she came to Wave Country.

"Do you know...?"

Qinghe picked up the letter. It had been a long time since he had paid attention to the situation of his clansmen living in Konoha. With Lord Orochimaru in Konoha, what was there for him to worry about?

Kakuzu, tall and straight in a suit and tie, stepped forward and placed the compiled financial statements on the coffee table. Thinking of the recent actions of the ninja villages in various countries, he believed that the Ninja World War would begin in the near future. He said, "Orochimaru, besides Sunagakure and Konoha, Kumogakure, Mist Village, and Iwagakure are increasingly conducting research on creating Jinchūriki. Judging from the current situation, it won't be long before another war breaks out in the Ninja World."

"Indeed, they've been researching creating Jinchūriki a bit too much."

Orochimaru picked up the financial statements and thought about the actions of the major ninja villages and the demise of the Whirlpool Country.

Could it be that because of my research results, the major ninja villages will take action against the Uzushiogakure Village in advance?

Are they so eager to improve their strength just to avoid being left too far behind by Konoha?

"The peace has been broken, which isn't necessarily a good thing for the company. While the company can make money from healing pills, the most important ingredient is the healing fluid secreted by the Chimera worms. Excessive secretion of healing fluid will harm the Chimera worms. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is unacceptable."

Kakuzu expressed his thoughts. In the past, he didn't care whether there was a Ninja World War or not, as long as it didn't hinder his making money. Now his vision is different, and his view on war is also different.

"Kakuzu, war cannot be stopped just because we want to. All we can do is remain neutral and not let the wars between the ninja villages of various countries affect us."

Orochimaru took out a scroll and unsealed it, and a blueprint appeared in her hand. Ever since she obtained the transformation technique, she had a bold idea.

With the level of technology in this world, there is something that should have been born long ago but has never appeared, and that is the car!

By assembling the parts produced according to this blueprint, a small truck for transporting goods can be assembled. The engine powered by Lightning Chakra is enough to drive a fully loaded small truck over mountains and across rivers.

Delivering goods via minivans is not only convenient, but also makes the delivery team safer.

As for the energy problem, the chakra battery that stores chakra can solve it. This was an accessory that Orochimaru accidentally created when he was researching chakra explosives. It was an unexpected surprise.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is..."

The three were attracted by the thick book in Orochimaru's hand.

"Blueprints for a vehicle called 'Truck'."

Orochimaru placed the blueprint on the coffee table, stood up and said, "Qinghe, process the parts in the blueprint as soon as possible. We will rely on trucks to transport the goods from now on."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Qinghe picked up the design drawing and started looking through it.

Xueliu and Jiaodu came over. They were very interested in this vehicle called "truck".

PS:

The villages that choose the tailed beast containers are basically relatives, making it easier to control them.

Volume 99: Chapter Hanzo, Wants to Change the Rain Country

"The only way for Wave Country to travel to other countries is by sea. Using trucks as transportation to transport goods, is that feasible?"

Kakuzu's keen sense of money allowed him to notice the problem.

The most important issue is the road.

Goods transported from the Land of Waves to various countries are basically transported by sea and land, and delivered to towns and ninja villages in various countries by horse-drawn carriages.

"Goods shipped from Wave Country to other countries should still be transported by cargo ships, and when transporting to various towns, trucks can be used. Building transportation hubs for shipping goods in various countries will not only improve efficiency, but also ensure the safety of our people."

Orochimaru was really fed up with the previous way of transporting goods. Not only was it slow, but it also made it easier to be targeted.

The small truck developed this time can carry some weapons, such as the guns used by the air ninjas to launch shurikens, and it is good to use it to launch explosive projectiles made of small chakra explosives.

She had dismantled that thing countless times at Gen's base. It only looked intimidating but was not very powerful.

Danzo Shimura originally wanted to know how to make that kind of firearm so that he could use it for the Root ninjas, but he gave up the idea after hearing Orochimaru's comments.

He is not short of money, but he will not waste it on useless research.

From aiming to firing, it takes so long that the person holding the gun has no idea how many times he has been killed.

“This is a business plan.”

Orochimaru took out the plan and placed it on the coffee table, detailing how to build the transportation hub and the role of the transportation hub.

She speculated that the transportation hubs and small trucks were being put into use, and the speed of transporting goods could be increased several times compared to the previous old transportation methods.

Taking into account the possibility of ninja attacks, traps were set with detonating talismans. The materials used to build the truck must be able to withstand the explosion of the detonating talismans. The wheels are also of paramount importance and must not be able to burst if pierced by caltrops.

Based on the principle that ninjas condense chakra in their feet and walk on water, it is not impossible to create a truck that can run on water. The tire material needs to be made of a material that reacts to chakra.

This will allow the chakra to be better concentrated on the tires and to be used on the sea surface.

In terms of materials, many materials were tried when researching liquid contact lenses.

The nesting mucus of Chimera worms is a good material. It is an extremely sticky nesting material produced by chakra combined with secretions, and it is very tough after drying.

A tire made of nesting mucus as the main material, let alone caltrops, might even be able to knock the kunai in the person's hand away if you poke the tire with a kunai.

A busy port with many merchant ships docked at the pier.

Is this the Land of Waves?

A young man with a mask on his face and breathing through his mouth came down from the boat. His long yellow hair gave people a warm feeling under the sunlight. Looking at everything around the port, the extremely modern facilities were different from his impression of the poor Wave Kingdom.

What changes has White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company brought to this country?

The leader of the Rain Country and the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo, also known as Hanzo of the Salamander, has become the actual controller of the Rain Country since the Daimyo of the Rain Country disappeared in another attack.

The origin of his nickname "Sanshoku" is the poison sac of the extremely poisonous black salamander implanted in his body. With every breath he takes, the toxin will be absorbed into the air, causing people around him to be poisoned unknowingly.

Over time, he was given the nickname of Salamander, and in order not to affect others, he wore a mask all year round and breathed through his mouth.

Hanzang asked for the location of the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company along the way. As he walked and looked around, he found that this small maritime country had become extremely rich from poverty. This could be seen from their clothes and the smiles on their faces. Those were the smiles of a rich life.

It would be great if White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company was opened in the Rain Country.

Hanzo thought of his hometown, which was sandwiched between three big countries: the Wind Country, the Fire Country, and the Earth Country. On the other side was the Rain Country facing the sea where it rained all year round. There were many more minor frictions between the big countries than before. As the leader of a small country, he noticed that something was wrong.

In order to avoid being destroyed in the war, he had to seek change. With this idea in mind, he came to the Land of Waves.

(The scene where Jiraiya was buried in the sea is enough to prove that one side of the Rain Country faces the sea. The maps that can be searched on the Internet can only be used as a reference. What the environment of the Rain Country is like, you still have to read the comics and anime.)

At the front desk of the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company, the attractive receptionist noticed Hanzo walking into the hall and asked with a smile, "Hello, how can I help you?"

"I'm Hanzo from the Land of Rain, and I'd like to meet the president of your company."

Hanzo stepped forward and revealed his identity. He didn't think he could meet the president of White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company if he concealed his identity.

"Hanzo?"

When the merchants in the hall heard Hanzo's name, they immediately looked over. If there was a Hanzo from the Land of Rain, it could only be the Hanzo of the Salamander!

When they saw Hanzo's appearance, they were shocked. They never expected that Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Country, would come to visit the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company of the Wave Country.

"Please wait a moment."

The front desk receptionist also recognized Hanzo's identity and notified the president's secretary via radio that Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Country, had arrived.

"Hanzo? Why is he here?"

Orochimaru was very surprised to hear that Hanzo was coming to visit him. Considering Hanzo's current age, he should still be a very young man.

"Lord Orochimaru, would you like to see him?"

Qinghe asked, Lord Orochimaru is in the company, and everything is subject to Lord Orochimaru's orders. He will not do anything that meddles in other people's business.

"Let him in."

Orochimaru formed seals with his hands, and with a bang, the smoke dissipated and he turned into the appearance of Michi.

Si pushed his glasses up and said to the three of them, "From now on, I'm Si, the one coming to the experimental base to ask for funding. Do you understand?"

Lord Orochimaru, you are putting so much pressure on me!

Qinghe felt heavy pressure as he watched Lord Orochimaru trying to show off his acting skills.

"Funding? Humph! Your research hasn't made any progress in a long time, and you still want so much funding? The company's money doesn't just come out of thin air!"

Kakuzu treated those who came to ask for funding with the same attitude as in his daily work. In his opinion, the interests of the company were directly linked to his interests. The more the company earned, the more salary he could get.

The company doesn't make money, so he earns less.

Hanzo was led by the president's secretary to the president's office. Before he went in, he heard a fierce quarrel inside.

"What do you mean my research is useless? My research is indispensable to the company! Kakuzu, do you have the guts to say that again in front of President Aoka?"

"What's the purpose of the chakra battery you developed? I can't see any use for it except wasting money."

"Stop arguing, stop arguing... Mikoto, Kakuzu, calm down. This is the president's office! President Aoka, please say something!"

A strong-willed woman quarrels with a cold-hearted man, and the woman tries to persuade him to stop the quarrel.

This……

Hanzo stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not. He looked at the president's secretary beside him and asked, "Am I here at the wrong time? How about I come back later?"

Hanzo felt it was too awkward for him to go in now, as he saw scenes that were not what he should have seen.

"Please don't mind it."

The president's secretary tried to keep a straight face, opened the door of the president's office, and gestured for him to come in.

Hanzo, who didn't want to go in at all, walked in with a nervous mood. He felt that he came at the wrong time today. It would be better for him to play in the Land of Waves for a day and come back tomorrow. Judging from the current situation, the goal he wanted to achieve would most likely end in failure.

"Mr. Hanzo, may I ask what brings you to our company?"

Qinghe looked at Hanzo who walked in and smiled as if he saw a relative. He coughed lightly to remind the two people who were arguing over there that there was a distinguished guest.

"President Qinghe, I would like to propose cooperation with your company on behalf of the Rain Country."

Hanzo said sincerely that if the Rain Country did not want to become a battlefield for the big countries, it must become stronger.

Given the geographical location of the Rain Country, it is definitely impossible for it to become strong by relying on the Rain Country itself. How about relying on the Wind Country? The environment of the Wind Country itself is extremely harsh. It is better to rely on itself than to rely on them.

A country that relies on land?

Considering the style of Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth, it's good that they don't have any thoughts of annexing the Land of Rain.

Relying on the Fire Nation?

Konoha, which is rich in resources and has a great scientific research ability named Orochimaru, simply looks down on the Rain Country.

Not to mention, once a small-scale war breaks out among the ninja villages of the three countries, the Rain Country will most likely become a battlefield for the fighting between Sand Village, Iwagakure, and Konoha. Joining any of them will make the situation of the Rain Country even worse.

This is the tragedy of a small country sandwiched between big countries.

So, after careful consideration, Hanzo thought of the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company, which had never interfered in the internal affairs of the Wave Country and was focused on doing business and making money.

Why do I say that? It can be seen from the increasingly fat and indifferent Daimyo of Wave Country that he has really taken a lot of money from the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.
