Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Chapter 290 No choice

When doing business, it is important to ask for a high price and then pay back the money on the ground. When there is back and forth, it is called negotiation.

If there was any disagreement, he would withdraw, leaving no room for counter-offering.

From Chiyo's point of view, Orochimaru's words and actions were simply unreasonable.

But what Orochimaru said next made people even more confused as to why he could conclude that the Akatsuki organization would change its attack target.

"What the Akatsuki organization wants is just to prevent Konoha from greatly increasing its strength. But on the other hand, if they have this surgery, they can also achieve their goal."

Orochimaru twitched the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face became sinister,

"In order to form an alliance with Sunagakure, I have shared the surgical information with Sunagakure Village. Guess, Konoha and Sunagakure Village, who will they choose to attack?"

Everyone was shocked and angry when they heard this, and then they realized Orochimaru's sinister intentions. It was really too poisonous!

Granny Chiyo frowned, "If you tell this big lie, I, Sunagakure, will sever our alliance with Konoha. How could the Akatsuki organization..."

"It's just a cover-up."

Orochimaru spread his hands and said with a smile, "Who would believe it?"

As he said that, he pointed to the corpse in the hall, which was supported by earth spears.

"Look, their only eyes and ears have just died, and before that, the news of our transaction may have already spread."

Everyone glanced at Bai Zetsu, who was already dead, and suddenly felt astonished. They didn't expect that Orochimaru's move just now had such a meaning.

"Besides, my character and deeds are known to everyone in the ninja world. If I hadn't already reached a deal, how could I help Shagakure resolve the Tailed Beast Rebellion for nothing?"

Orochimaru blinked his eyes, and his smile became more and more unscrupulous, "Or do you think that in the eyes of the Akatsuki organization, I, Orochimaru, am a good person who is eager for justice and justice?"

In the inn, Orochimaru's mocking laughter echoed, which was really harsh to the ears of the Suna Ninja.

Granny Chiyo and others were filled with anger, but at the same time they felt a sense of powerlessness. They understood that Orochimaru was relying on Sunagakure Village.

I used to think that Orochimaru had changed his gender, or that he was trying to sell him well in advance for future transactions, but he never expected that it would become a threat.

Sure enough, Orochimaru's advantage is not that easy to take advantage of.

Chiyo's mother-in-law stared at Orochimaru, with evil thoughts in her mind and murderous intentions.

How can Sunagakure be threatened so easily? As long as he fights Orochimaru here and pays a sufficient price, the Akatsuki organization has no reason to believe that the two sides are colluding.

The people present here are all elites who have fought on the battlefield. They are so sensitive to murderous intentions that Konoha ninjas have subconsciously prepared for battle.

No matter how old she looks now, this poison master was the poison master who brought huge casualties to Konoha during two ninja battles. No one will underestimate her.

The sand ninja ANBU also tightened their weapons, the atmosphere in the inn hall was tense, and the battle was about to break out.

Orochimaru didn't take it seriously, and still had a relaxed smile on his face.

On the other side, Ebizo put his hand on Granny Chiyo's shoulder and gestured to Orochimaru's lower head with his eyes.

There was a child unconscious there, who was the first jinchūriki of their village.

Granny Chiyo let go of her hand, her expression a little bitter.

Not to mention Orochimaru's own strength, if Shukaku breaks the seal alone, Sunagakure Village will be in a hurry.

If a war really broke out, the village would simply not be able to bear the consequences of an attack by the Akatsuki organization.

Whether to advance or retreat, the initiative at every step is calculated by Orochimaru. Sunagakure Village is in a dilemma.

Orochimaru lowered his head and played with the tea cup in his hand.

In fact, Chiyo's thinking was shallow.

Even if they planned to show their integrity and fight to the death, Orochimaru would not give them this chance.

Using Gaara as a one-tail jinchuriki as a bargaining chip, he would immediately throw out his next choice.

He will return the Jinchuriki to them, but the price is that Sunagakure Village must ensure that Konoha and his party can leave Sunagakure Village intact.

It's not impossible to type it out, but overall, it's still too wasteful.

The purpose of coming to Sunagakure Village this time is to try to reduce the impact of the outbreak of war on Konoha, and passing the disaster to Sunagakure is a very good choice.

Orochimaru doesn't care whether the Akatsuki organization obtains the 'physical enhancement surgery', but giving it to the other party so plainly has no credibility and seems too weird.

But if Sunagakure Village is used as a sacrifice, and the Akatsuki organization personally conquers a ninja village, and the 'physical enhancement surgery' is used as a trophy, although there are still many flaws in this, it makes sense.

The Akatsuki organization has received the same strengthening surgery as Konoha, and the two poles have re-entered the confrontation mode. Neither Konoha nor the Akatsuki organization will have any objections.

As for the Sunagakure Village that was destroyed because of this, Orochimaru didn't care. He chose his own path and gave the other party a chance.

This confident attitude made Granny Chiyo's lips tremble in anger, as if she could feel the feelings of the Hokage consultant sleeping with Koharu.

But now, there is no other way.

No matter which choice you make, Sand Hidden Village will suffer inevitable losses, and among them, bowing your head and being submissive is the lightest one.

After a long silence, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa suddenly spoke with a serious look on his face, "So what if I agree today? Can you, Konoha, promise not to stab you in the back?"

There are two options. Choosing to bow down and submit can certainly avoid the immediate losses, but Orochimaru can still carry out the plan of the former option at any time. In fact, because Sunagakure Village accepted the proposal, there were several more wooden ninjas in the village.

, on the contrary, it will make this matter more convincing.

Whether Sunagakure Village becomes a victim of Konoha or not depends entirely on the other party's thoughts. This is something Rasa cannot accept as the Kazekage.

Orochimaru's previous series of actions have already proven that his advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.

"Well, I need your cooperation, and we'll talk about it later."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "Anyway, if you agree, I will officially start the operation on you today."

Just kidding, this move is a deadly weapon. How could Orochimaru let it go so easily? What if Sunagakure Village didn't admit it afterwards?

It was just a normal time, no one dared to owe him Orochimaru's debt, but that was not the case recently, he had to deal with Nagato with all his strength.

In fact, Sand Hidden Village has no choice but to passively accept it. If you choose the latter, you can still get actual benefits.

As a weaker party, if you still dream of being able to advance and retreat in a controlled manner, then wouldn't Orochimaru's many previous designs and his own power become a joke?

However, after all, it is one of the top five ninja villages alongside Konoha. It is obviously not possible to rely solely on coercion. You still have to give them the face they deserve.

After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru chuckled, breaking the frozen atmosphere.

"Trust is mutual. If the two of us are close and trust each other in a short period of time, Konoha will never betray its allies. This is naturally impossible."

"However, in order to express my sincerity, I can take a step back..."

Orochimaru pointed at Gaara, who was still unconscious, "In the next few days, as long as you identify a suitable candidate, I will help you replace this incompetent Jinchuriki."

This move can be regarded as a step back in the negotiation. After all, after handing over the tailed beast, with this increase and decrease, Sunagakure has a little ability to rebel, instead of being eaten to death like now.

Granny Chiyo and Ebizo looked at each other. The two Kazekage advisors were both a little moved. In any case, it was business to get the Jinchūriki card back in their hands first.

But the Kazekage himself stared at Orochimaru, silent, showing no intention of agreeing at all.

Orochimaru asked with great interest, "Why, Mr. Kazekage, do you think this sincerity is not enough?"

"I'm just curious as to why you insist on replacing the Jinchuuriki." Rasa said solemnly, "What you said before was just from Sunagakure's perspective. What are your thoughts?"

"Oh, this question is actually very simple." Orochimaru said with a smile, "There may be a battle with the Akatsuki organization in the future. I naturally hope that you, Sunagakure, can also contribute. A qualified Jinchuriki is very important."

Rasa retorted, "But he has just become a Jinchuuriki for a day or two, and his combat power may not be as good as Gaara's."

"It's just about proficiency, I have my own way."

Orochimaru smiled, "At least it's not too difficult for people to learn to transform into half-tailed beasts."

Rasa had a cold face and mocked, "Your Konoha Jinchuuriki has been dead for five or six years, and the next one has not been announced yet. How can you prove that what you say is credible?"

"Oh, that's what I said," Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly, "Can the One-Tails and the Nine-Tails compare?"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the expressions on the faces of the Sand Ninjas, Gorara, who had been unconscious all this time, trembled, as if something was roaring angrily.

As both tailed beasts, Shukaku has always been very dissatisfied with the Kyuubi who emphasizes that 'the number of tails is the difference between strength and weakness'.

But what about dissatisfaction?

Although One-Tailed Shukaku is not the weakest, Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails are the two strongest among them.

And when it comes to a real fight, the Nine-Tails might even be able to overwhelm the other Tailed Beasts on their own.

It's so powerful, so naturally it's not easy to control.

But even so, although the two generations of Jinchuuriki in Konoha were not perfect Jinchuuriki, they still beat the Nine-Tails to death. Although they did not win its heart, at least the body was tied up like Jesus.

In such a battle, a one-tailed Shukaku would have been submissive long ago.

Although Rasa didn't know the specific seal of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Kushina could compete with the tailed beast even without completely transforming into a tailed beast, but it was real. Orochimaru said this, and it was really hard to refute.

For a moment, there was some silence.

"Tsk... Your Excellency Feng Ying doesn't have to be like this."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Replacing the Jinchuuriki will not lead to the death of the previous generation. It is also part of the sincerity to ensure that Gaara will not die."

When the tailed beast is pulled away, it is when the Jinchuuriki dies. To Orochimaru, this is just one of the many false common senses in the ninja world.

The reason why a jinchuriki dies is because after becoming a container, his own chakra is connected with the tailed beast's chakra. The jinchuriki can take away the tailed beast's chakra, and vice versa.

Obviously, when a jinchuriki faces the situation of his tailed beast being separated, it is almost always when he is in a weak position and at a disadvantage in the competition for chakra. At this time, the tailed beast will naturally not hold back, almost like a hungry dog.

Loot it all.

Tailed beasts can still survive without chakra, but ninjas will die if they lose chakra.

This is a variant of survivor bias, and Orochimaru doesn't find it strange.

Even counting Sunagakure, who has held Shukaku for a long time, there are only two or three generations of Jinchuuriki. The number is very rare, so how can we draw a suitable conclusion.

Moreover, it was only in the past few years that the ninja world had the concept of a perfect Jinchuuriki.

"This is impossible?" After hearing Orochimaru's words, Luo Sha blurted out.

"Nothing is impossible. When it comes to the research on tailed beasts, you Sunagakure are still far behind."

Orochimaru opened his five fingers and slowly tightened them, "I heard that your Sunagakure has a ninja tool specially used to seal Shukaku. I can try to separate the tailed beast now."

When Luo Sha heard this, he looked moved, but behind him, whether it was the consultant elder or other Sand ninjas, their expressions were a little strange.

The jinchūriki will not die despite losing the tailed beast, which is a good thing for Gaara himself, but on the other hand, if he loses the meaning of a war weapon, how should he live in the village?

You know, just tonight, the village conducted a cruel test in order to deprive Gaara of other meanings of life and only make him a weapon of war.

After doing so many cruel things, how can you still pretend like nothing happened? Stop joking.

It is conceivable that even if Gaara survives, he will suffer some form of... isolation.

But even so, could they tell Orochimaru that it would be better to die?

Sand ninjas also want to lose face. Only when they are rooted in the village can they say it is for the sake of justice.

In the lobby of the inn, after a moment of silence, Kazekage Rasa waved to a Sand Ninja ANBU, "Go and get the sealed pottery pot."

Regardless of sincerity or anything else, this negotiation needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Yes!" The sand ninja ANBU responded, turning into a shadow and disappearing.

"Your Majesty Feng Ying, you are so refreshing."

Orochimaru stood up and said with a smile, "Let's choose a suitable location. If you want to come to this inn, I'm afraid it won't be a place to change the tailed beast."

"I understand." Feng Ying nodded slightly.

…

The night sky is clear and the waning moon hangs high.

The cold moonlight spread across the desert along with the whistling wind, bit by bit infecting the heat left in the sand during the day.

The Konoha ninja and Sunagakure ninja were separated, and both felt a chill.

Now that they are far away from Sunagakure Village and without the villagers as a threat, the Suna ninjas are a little less burdened with fighting. Now facing these two Konoha ninja teams, they can't help but think, maybe...

Orochimaru didn't care about this hostility and even said with a smile, "If you are curious, you can stand closer."

Granny Chiyo said slowly, "Orochimaru, are you really confident?"

To control the One-Tailed Shukaku, both Shisui and Orochimaru must devote most of their efforts, and the other Konoha ninjas are not worth mentioning. If she takes action at this time, Orochimaru may not be able to prevent her.

"My confidence comes from myself."

Orochimaru smiled and formed a seal with his hands, "Psychic art!"
