Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

As the Hokage's deputy, responsible for coordination from top to bottom, Nara Shikaku has done a lot of research on the personalities of the village's senior leaders.

Jiraiya and Tsunade aside, Orochimaru definitely doesn't care about the village.

Even before the Fourth Generation took office and before the Nine-Tails Rebellion, there was even a tendency to abandon Konoha and rebel and flee.

Although he has made many contributions to the village recently, in the final analysis, he has not suffered any substantial losses due to these incidents.

Fame, honor... to those who don't value them, they are just passing clouds and insignificant.

On the contrary, the two advisors and elders who were against him were provoked and lost their temper several times in meetings. Danzo's strength was greatly reduced and he was almost on the verge of collapse.

Now, when Elder Koharu expressed his opinion, he would first consider Orochimaru's ideas. This was simply unimaginable before.

Of course, Nara Shikaku does not exclude Orochimaru from having the right to speak. At least for now, his approach is also considering the village.

But being unable to figure out Orochimaru's purpose is really disturbing.

——It seems that the so-called ‘Ninjutsu Selection Center’ needs more attention.

As Kakashi had thought before, Nara Shikaku planned to increase his proportion among Orochimaru's men. Only when he was responsible for important matters could he get a glimpse of Orochimaru's intentions.

Amidst the smoke, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pipe in his hand and said slowly,

"Insufficient information. Your method seems too risky at the moment and requires further verification."

As he said that, his eyes turned to the two consultant elders, "Danzo's intelligence organization has been handed over to you. Now is a good opportunity to use it. Try to go to the Grass Ninja Village to find out something."

After going to bed, Koharu and Mito Monoyan looked slightly condensed and nodded.

"As for the reply to the Flower Faction of the Grass Ninja Village..." the Third Generation pondered for a moment, "then he refused on the grounds that it is not easy for Konoha to interfere in the internal affairs of the Grass Ninja Village."

After all, Konoha is just a ninja village of the Land of Fire, and it is not an organization that maintains world peace. It has no position to represent justice and eliminate the ambition of the Kusanagi Village.

If you really want the ninjas of Konoha to do it, you might as well pay the price and issue the mission. This is the right way.

After listening to Sandaime's words, Orochimaru twitched the corners of his mouth.

Although it sounds like the old man denies his proposal, the actual implementation is no different than watching from the other side.

Moreover, it is indeed a bit difficult to ask these two elders who have just taken over the intelligence organization to inquire about information that even the ninjas in the Grass Ninja Village cannot find out. The probability of success is not high.

"Today's meeting will be..."

Just as the Third Generation was about to announce the end, an ANBU ninja appeared in the Hokage room, walked up to him in a few steps, and whispered a few words.

"It couldn't have come at a better time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Let them come over."

The ANBU ninja bowed slightly and left the Hokage room in a flash.

"Hiruzen, what happened?"

After sleeping, Xiaochun turned around and asked.

"The ninja sent by Taki Ninja Village to ask for help has arrived."

The third generation frowned and said, "According to what they said, one of the ninjas who helped the Kusanagi kidnap the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki was a traitorous ninja from Konoha."

He looked at Orochimaru, "White hair and snake eyes, my name is Yakushi Kabuto."

After listening to what Sandai said, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little weird.

It has only been less than two months, but I didn't expect that this new incident would actually be related to Orochimaru.

The decision of the previous meeting was to put it aside temporarily and wait and see what happens, but if Taki Ninja Village takes this point to ask Konoha, it is really difficult to answer.

After all, according to common sense, it is the responsibility of the village to deal with the rebellious people.

Sensing the gaze gathered on him, Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged, and he grinned, "It's just a small thing, just do it for a show from now on."

According to Orochimaru's knowledge, it was not just Kabuto who invaded Taki-nin Village this time, but also the rebellious ninja Red Sand Scorpion from Sunagakure Village, and the rebellious ninja Kakuzu from Taki-nin Village itself.

After the old man and the others learn the specific situation, they will understand that it is not Konoha's turn to take the blame for this matter.

Soon, two ninjas from Taki Ninja Village, one big and one small, came to the conference room and complained to Yakushi Kabuto about his unreasonable behavior.

After saying a few words, the younger one started crying, with snot and tears all over his face.

This is understandable, after all, his father lost his life by drinking the 'Hero's Water' in order to resist foreign invasion.

Orochimaru shook his head as he listened, feeling a little bored.

It's okay to be miserable, after all, it's really painful, but it's not okay to lie.

In the action log sent back by Kabuto, in this invasion of Taki Ninja Village, except for threatening the shisha to hand over half of the 'Hero's Water' at the end, he was in a concave shape throughout the whole process and almost did not take any action. He was not as cruel as he said.

Hearing that what they said was getting more and more exaggerated, Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and said, "What ninjutsu did Yakushi Kabuto use? Can you describe it again?"

"Before talking nonsense, let me first remind you that Kabuto Yakushi was once my disciple, and I know all the ninjutsu he learned."

The ninja from Taki Ninja Village's expression froze and he was speechless.

Under Orochimaru's gaze, the son of the leader of Takigakure named 'Shibuki' did not dare to suffer any more.

Although the high-level officials of Konoha present here would not have been moved by this simple misfortune, they now feel that something is wrong.

After questioning, what actually happened in Takinin Village was told.

…

At the same time, on the streets of Konoha.

Tianxinji, who had been wandering for a long time, began to sweep the streets and taste Konoha's snacks one by one.

The one who paid, of course, was Kakashi.

He has carried out many S-level missions, and he is not short of money. He can raise eight ninja dogs at home. The word "poor" cannot be applied to him at all.

But after all, Tian Xin Snake Princess is not an ordinary woman, and her appetite is not as big as usual. Although she only has a "little taste", if converted to ordinary people, that is the appetite of a dozen adults.

And this was not just one store, but every store on every street. Even Kakashi felt very painful.

‘Can it be reimbursed?’

Sitting in front of the Ichiraku Ramen Shop, Kakashi looked at Tabashiki who was devouring the ramen, and thought boredly.

"The guests have really good appetites."

The old man was still squinting, handing out bowls of ramen one after another, without showing any sign of fatigue.

"I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time."

Tian Xin Snake Ji drank it all in one gulp and licked the grease on her lips. On both sides of her, blue and white bowls were piled high, almost half the height of an adult.

“As long as the guests like it.”

Uncle Shouda smiled, reached out and took back the bowl on the counter, and handed it to his daughter, Calamus.

Seeing the little girl busy washing dishes and chopsticks in the store, Tian Xinsheji praised, "She is such a sensible and good girl."

"yes."

After hearing the praise from Tian Xin Snake Girl, Shandai seemed to be quite moved.

"Compared to an ignorant son, a daughter is more considerate."
