I sell sweets in Konoha

She didn't want to but had to listen to the roar coming from the next room in the hotel. Tsunade had to feel that fate was sometimes a very wonderful thing.She was the first person to leave Konoha Village, Orochimaru was the second person to leave Konoha Village, and Tsunade was the last person to leave there.The three of them all had different reasons and ideas for leaving Konoha Village.

Occasionally, they would inquire about each other's situation and the reasons for leaving Konoha, and they would learn a little bit about each other.

What Orochimaru did made Tsunade feel shameless and at the same time keenly aware of a hint of danger. Although she had left Konoha for a long time, Tsunade still felt that Orochimaru was not simply wandering around after leaving Konoha, with his whereabouts uncertain.

Unlike himself and Jiraiya, who traveled all over the ninja world, appalling things would happen wherever he went.

And he himself seems to be collecting talents everywhere and accumulating strength.

A rebellious ninja who left the ninja village, not to mention how horrifying what he did in the village and after leaving the village.He went around collecting traitorous ninjas to build up strength, but he didn't do anything very obvious.This made Tsunade feel that Orochimaru's purpose in doing this was most likely to be detrimental to Konoha.

But without evidence, she left Konoha Village again, and she didn't know what she should do.

What she never expected was that two girls who claimed to be her daughters suddenly appeared in the ninja world.What she never expected was that Orochimaru made a big mistake on their side after defeating them.

"Master Tsunade~"

The door was pushed open, and an excited Shizune waved the photo in her hand and said, "I found their photo!"

“And it’s a very clear frontal photo!”

"Huh? So soon?" Tsunade said a little surprised: "Did you get it from Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya had photos on hand, and Orochimaru also had photos on hand, but they were all secretly taken.It's not very clear. It can be seen that the two girls do look a bit like themselves, but some important details cannot be shown at all.

So Tsunade wanted Shizune to see if she could get high-definition pictures of those two girls.

"This." Shizune handed the photo over and said, "The face shape is really similar to yours!"

'picture? 'Tsunade took a look at the photo and found that it did look like her.No wonder they dared to claim to be her daughters. Just their appearance really confused her.Did you really give birth to two daughters when?

"This..." Tsunade pointed to the foreheads of the two girls in the photo and said, "This thing..."

"This seems to be a Yin seal, right?" Shizune said uncertainly: "Orochimaru said they knew this move, so this shouldn't be fake, right?"

Although Orochimaru did something shameful, he was still very honest about it and there was no need to lie to himself.He said that these two girls know her moves, so this Yin seal is most likely real and not fake.

"It's really weird." Tsunade frowned and looked at the photo carefully.

"Huh? What is this?" Tsunade suddenly noticed that there was a brooch on the left breast of one of the girls. It was not very big.Looking closely, it looks like a Konoha pattern with a flame-shaped crest inside.

"What's wrong, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune also came over and looked at the photo.

"Why does she have this thing?" Tsunade took out a crest with the same shape from her pocket. Except for the Konoha ninja logo below, the rest was almost the same.

"Eh? What is this?" Shizune looked at the crest in Tsunade's hand in surprise. This was the first time she had seen this crest.

"The Hokage Crest." Tsunade said doubtfully: "This is what my grandfather gave me before he died. He said that when I have a daughter, I will pass it on to her. Grandpa said that he originally wanted to use this as the heir to the Hokage to hold it. There was something, but my uncle later rejected it and gave it to me."

"I said I would hand it over to my eldest daughter after I have a daughter."

"Eh?" Shizune said a little surprised: "The first generation of adults actually has such an explanation?"

"Well, grandpa said that my eldest daughter is more reliable." Tsunade felt a little strange and said, "Uncle said that the second daughter is a bit lazy."

At first, Tsunade didn't think it was anything, but she quickly put it behind her and didn't take it seriously at all. She was still single, how could they know that she would give birth to two daughters in the future?How do you know which of them is more reliable and who is more lazy?

Looking at it now, she always felt that the situation was not that simple.

"Where did you get the photo?" Tsunade asked.

"I saw it from the actor introduction on the poster." Shizune said: "It was cut from the poster of a movie called "Princess of the Storm: Twin Stars". They are the leading actors in this movie. The director said that it is currently promoting it. , the expected release date is probably next year.”

"What? Movie?" Tsunade said even more unexpectedly: "They want to act in a movie?"

"Yeah." Shizune nodded and said, "The director said that this is the first time a real ninja has been invited to star in a movie. It's a big production and a big scene."

As she spoke, Shizune took out a lot of posters and said, "Looking from the posters, there are also ninjas participating in Konoha. By the way, Orochimaru is also on the poster."

Two posters, one of which showed the two girls and three unknown Konoha ninjas.The other poster showed Orochimaru and three Sound Ninjas.Tsunade couldn't help but frown. Orochimaru didn't say that he participated in this movie, and she also noticed that the names of the two girls were written on the investors under the poster.

Tsunade figured it out immediately. Based on what they knew about the behavior of the two girls, they probably expected that Orochimaru would go to them again, so they had no intention of discussing it with Orochimaru.

"Hey..." Tsunade chuckled. It looked like they were taking Orochimaru.

After saying that, he threw the poster away.

"Speaking of it." Shizune said while packing her things: "I heard from the director that he is very optimistic about this movie. It is expected that the box office will reach 800 billion taels, and it will become a monument in the history of ninja movies!"

"No..." Although Tsunade is not interested in the history of ninja movies, the number just now...

"How much did you just say? How much can they share?"

"800 billion." Shizune didn't understand Tsunade's thoughts and said with a rough estimate: "I don't know either, but I feel that they are both the leading actors and important investors."

"Then it should be no problem to divide at least tens of billions, right?"

"Shizune! Call Orochimaru, Jiraiya, we are [-]% today." Tsunade jumped up.

"Oh~ my lovely daughters, your mother can't wait to see you."

Chapter 45 Growing Roots

"Recently, research funding expenditures have been very high."

The third generation holds the financial budget for the new quarter, and there is always something thumping on his forehead.

There are many reasons for the gradual increase in the budget, such as training, purchasing new weapons, developing new ninjutsu, special events in a certain area that require the dispatch of personnel to monitor, etc.So budget increases are not a very unusual thing.

The reason for the increase in the fiscal budget this time is...

Research!

As a ninja doctor, Sandai is not someone who opposes investing money in research. On the contrary, if certain ninjutsu have greater research and development value, he is also happy to invest money in research.The only thing we want to study is C12H22O11. What is this?At first, Sandai was really frightened by this series of things. After a series of careful research and analysis, he came to the conclusion.This is sugar!The chemical formula of sucrose.As the leader of Gen, it is rare that Danzo did not play any conspiracy or the like in this matter.

If it is said that there is, it means that it does not directly mention sugar but talks about the chemical formula of sugar.

But because of Danzo's consistent style, the third generation went astray when looking at this thing. He thought it was some kind of secret research codenamed 'sugar'.Or maybe it's some operation codenamed 'Sugar'.

But in fact it was not the case. After a long period of research and analysis, trying to figure out whether it was some kind of code word, Sandai finally determined that this time Danzo directly wrote down his purpose on paper.sugar!He is studying sugar, and in what way?It means using your own body as an instrument, using your sense of smell, touch, and taste to study sugar.

Referred to as 'eating'.

So the so-called research is actually a special fund set up for this old guy to eat sweets?

When did this old guy do this?

Sandai didn't want to believe it, but soon he had to believe that it was all true.Because the Daimyo of Wave Country came to him to complain!He was asked to manage Konoha's ANBU, because recently Konoha's ANBU asked the nobles of Wave Country, including his daimyo, to hand over 99% of a special candy to Konoha.

According to various signs investigated by Sandai, all this was done by Gen Gan.

so...

Just to have a bite of candy, this old man not only applied for special funds, but also sent out his subordinates to threaten the daimyo and nobles of Wave Country to hand over their special candies?

Can that old man really do such a weird thing?

The third generation was a little confused. To be honest, he didn't want to deal with this matter.The Country of Waves is just a remote small country on the edge of the Country of Fire. The Daimyo of the Country of Waves and the Daimyo of the Country of Fire are relatives eight poles apart, and because of a little candy, he has to be between the roots and the Country of Waves. Choose, he is not stupid even for three generations.That idiot would choose a person who has nothing to do with him to go against someone who has a direct interest in him?Isn't it just a little candy?

Let Danzo eat it!

But if that's all, forget it, Danzo's budget is rising because of Danzo's eating of sweets...

The Konoha of today is no longer the Konoha of the past.Although it still looks huge and is still the number one in the ninja world, it is actually beginning to be in crisis.Talent crisis, security crisis, these are essentially economic crises.It’s hard to do anything without money.

And does Konoha really have no money?It seems that there is a lot of income every year, but there is also a lot of expenses!

So the current situation, if it were in the past, he would have approved it without even looking at it for three generations, but now it is really...

"No." Sandai put down the budget report and picked up his bamboo hat and said, "We have to look for it."

Gen has already devoured too much of Konoha's financial budget, and now he wants to use things like candy to further deplete the financial budget.This kind of thing is absolutely intolerable!

Rooted in the base.

Danzo sat on the futon and tasted the latest batch of candies, each color representing a taste.It may be refreshing, or it may be sweet, or it may be sour first and then sweet.Each flavor of candy always gives him a special surprise, and even the same flavor of candy that he has eaten many times always makes him feel like he can't stop eating it.

This candy...

Simply wonderful!

Unfortunately...

"Is that all there is?" Danzo looked at his bag of candy and said dissatisfied, "When will the latest batch of candy be delivered?"

If it is not delivered, the old man will be cut off!Which of you can shoulder this responsibility?

"Um...Danzo-sama..." an ANBU said carefully: "It's not that I don't work hard, it's just that the young lady has been busy with other things recently and has not made more candies for the time being."

"What?" Danzo's eyes suddenly widened and he said, "That stinky girl doesn't make her candies well, why is she busy all day long? Did Orochimaru find trouble with her again recently? That damn traitor doesn't want it He's too pushy! If he loses his candy because of his actions, I will have to open up his snake hole!"

This bastard Orochimaru actually dared to attack that girl. This is simply unforgivable!

If that girl is gone, where will I get my candy?

Are you here to make candy for me?

"That...that's not..." Anbu Hui reported: "The main thing is that the eldest lady is preparing to make a movie, and she will be the starring role."

"Starring?" Danzo narrowed his newly widened eyes and said, "Is your information reliable?"

"This." Anbu handed the movie poster to Danzo and said, "This is the poster for the movie. It is not expected to be officially released until next year."

"What?!" Danzo suddenly became a little anxious. He grabbed the poster and looked at it carefully and said, "Are you sure? It won't be released until next year? Does that mean she won't be making candies before the movie is released? "

"That's not possible." The ANBU added: "I heard from the news over there that the eldest lady will take time to make candies, but not many."

It's time to stop...Suddenly these three words weighed on Danzo's heart like a heavy brick, it's time to stop!And it may take more than a year... It's not a complete break for more than a year, but it's intermittent.It may even seem like there is far less time than there is without.

"This movie..." Danzo was anxious, just make candy properly.

What kind of movie are you going to make? !Make candies for the old man!Just make candies, movies and stuff are just evil!Must be added...

"According to Tomoko-sama, Junko-sama attaches great importance to this movie." ANBU suddenly said: "And Tomoko-sama revealed that she will also give special benefits to investors who strongly support the filming of the movie. Junko-sama said Miss Junko’s candies are free for a week, you can eat as much as you want, you have priority to taste new products for a year, and you can buy snacks made by Miss Junko at half price.”

"We must support it vigorously!" Danzo said without hesitation: "This is that stinky girl's movie. I need to reserve a thousand movie tickets first. If the notice continues, all members of the root group will need to reserve more than a hundred tickets." movie tickets.”

"Does her movie still lack money? Does it lack actors? Does it lack props?"

"There is no shortage of ordinary extras." ANBU said: "But it is said that there will be some grand war scenes during filming, which require some actors with special skills... If you know ninjutsu, you will be given priority..."

"In addition to the necessary manpower." Danzo further made up his mind and said: "Let me participate in the movie. I will send as many people as I want!"

"For those who are out in the field, if it's not a very important matter, just cancel it all and get over it!"

"If we recruit enough actors, can we start filming quickly?"

"It seems so." ANBU replied: "According to internal information, the script and starring roles have been determined now. As long as the funds and personnel are in place, filming can begin quickly."

"Is there any personnel that is not in place?" Danzo asked again.

"Orochimaru." The ANBU answered truthfully: "Miss Junko seems to have plotted against Orochimaru, and is planning to let him work for nothing. According to the reply from the people sent out to monitor, Orochimaru recently found Tsunade With Jiraiya, the three of them are heading to the Country of Waves together."

"How long will it take?" Danzo asked coldly.

"This...it's hard to say." Anbu shook his head and replied: "Orochimaru was poisoned by Miss Junko, and it is very inconvenient to move now. We are not very sure that Orochimaru can reach the country of waves as soon as possible. We reached an agreement with Miss Junko.”

"And because of what happened before, Orochimaru..."

"Go tell Orochimaru." Danzo said coldly, not caring about Orochimaru's miserable look: "He must reach the Land of Waves within three days to reach an agreement with that stinky girl!"

"If not, the cooperative relationship between us will be completely severed! By then, no one in his snake den will be saved!"

Danzo's voice leaves no room for doubt, Orochimaru must either cooperate or break up!Perhaps to outsiders, doing this for a small piece of candy is a fool's errand, but only those who have personally tasted it will understand and understand that candy is his bottom line and this is the key to his life. The last one was wonderful.Already over fifty, he has lost too much and has been hidden in the darkness for too long.

And this candy seems to be specially prepared for him. Underneath the unattractive appearance is the pursuit of beauty, happiness, and the pursuit of what he is.

I don’t know since when, candy is no longer candy, but it gives Danzo a special feeling, a feeling that there is someone who knows him thousands of miles away, and that there is a confidant who is using this thing to tell him something. .That sourness first and then sweetness, that refreshing meaning, that beautiful heart, weren't all of those things that I had pursued?

Isn't all of this something that I am willing to pursue and protect by diving into the darkness?

He has lost his light, now he can't also lose this candy, right?

Chapter 46 Let go of that candy

Gen, Sandai doesn’t want to come to this place.

Darkness and darkness are the eternal themes here.

And darkness is not the reason why the third generation does not want to come. As ninjas, who among them has not come from the darkness, and who has not been in the darkness?No one likes darkness, but someone must walk into the darkness so that more people will stand in the light. Therefore, the third generation has no hostility towards Gen. They are all ninjas of Konoha.Because they submerged into the darkness, they brought sunshine and peace to Konoha.

The reason why I don't want to come here is more because of Gen's leader.

That person who used to drink with him, that person who used to go through life and death with him, that passionate young man who used to talk about everything, has changed at this moment.They had agreed that one would stand in the light and lead Konoha forward, while the other would submerge in the darkness and protect Konoha.
