Orochimaru’s Magic Lamp

  Chapter 322 This is a ring

  After the transaction with Tsunade, the executor of Konoha Village's "body strengthening surgery" business changed, and Orochimaru took the time to put a clone in Sand Hidden Village.

   While earning some extra money, it is also a way to keep in touch with Hidden Sand Village. When it is critical, it is very convenient to handle the other party.

   Like now.

"Could it be that the sand ninjas are dissatisfied with the effect of my operation?" Orochimaru pulled the corners of his mouth, with a bit of teasing in his smile, "According to common sense, it shouldn't be. If it is in Konoha, this operation is busy when."

  Kazekage Rasa and Grandma Chiyo both had unnatural expressions when they heard the words.

  The opportunity to improve the strength of the village is in front of you, but because of financial problems, you have to sit back and watch it slip away. As a high-level villager, your position is a bit embarrassing.

   But there is a good saying that family ugliness should not be publicized. Orochimaru put this matter on the table, obviously to ridicule them, and it is really annoying.

   "Oshemaru, smart people don't speak dark words." Grandma Chiyo frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You know a little about my village's financial problems, so why come here and say such disgusting things."

  Hearing what Chiyo said, Orochimaru didn't respond yet, but Kazekage Rasa spoke first, "Elder, you don't have to say that. I think Your Excellency Orochimaru has other things to say here."

   As he spoke, he stared directly at Orochimaru who was smiling in front of him, "If you have anything to say, please just say it."

   "Your Excellency Fengying is still transparent."

  Oshemaru licked his lips, and said with a smile, "I have a deal that needs the cooperation of sand ninjas. After the transaction is completed, all sand ninjas who need to undergo 'physical strengthening surgery' in the future can get a 10% discount on the price."

   "What you said is true?" Grandma Chiyo couldn't help but said.

  A 10% discount is not much of a benefit if it is a transaction between ordinary people, but if it is enlarged to a village-to-village level, it will be a huge flow of funds, even the elder Chiyo can't help but be tempted.

  Fengying Luo’s eyes also flashed brightly. He never expected that the other party’s opening would be such a bargaining chip that he couldn’t refuse. However, as the shadow of a village, he still maintained his rationality and didn’t directly agree.

   "Your Excellency, let's talk about something first."

It is only a week or so since the Akatsuki organization attacked Konoha. As a witness of that war, Luo Sha knows very well how terrifying the leader Payne is as an enemy. Luo Sha was somewhat displeased with the village as a helper.

   In other words, the bargaining chips just now are far from enough.

   "Relax, this time has nothing to do with Konoha, it is my private entrustment."

  Oshemaru pulled a chair and sat down, leaned back slightly, and said with a smile, "This commission doesn't require fighting at all, it's just going through the motions and putting on a show."

  Kazekage Rasa and Chiyo also sat down, waiting for the next sentence.

   "I plan to trade dragon veins with Queen Loulan, but the people of Loulan are not cooperative."

  Oshemaru smiled, "I can't kill them all directly by force, so I need you to cooperate with the show."

   As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Kazekage and the elders of Shayin Village all changed in front of him.

  Loulan's common dragon veins are a tasteless piece of food for the village, and it's a pity to discard them if they are tasteless to eat.

  There is no way to use it now, but it doesn’t mean that there is no way to do it in the future. Although the village and Konoha are in the honeymoon period now, from a long-term perspective, this transaction should never go ahead.

   But then again, there is no future without the present. In terms of the current conditions of Shayin Village, the most priority choice is to get out of the predicament and reverse the declining trend of the village.

   "Your Excellency Orochimaru, the value of dragon veins is inestimable."

   Fengying Luosha frowned, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to exchange the dragon's veins for just such a little thing, you are too underestimating Shayin Village."

   In other words, not enough is given.

   "Tsk...Indeed, it's just a discounted value, and it's indeed far inferior to Dragon Vein."

   Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, but changed the topic, "But there is one thing, have you misunderstood, Dragon Vein is not from Shayin Village."

   Fengying Luosha was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

  Indeed, although Loulan is nominally within the territory of the Kingdom of Winds, the desert is vast and rarely populated. If there is no objection, the territory of the Kingdom of Winds can extend all the way to the west, even including Mount Miaomu.

  The reason why the Loulan people did not openly declare that they are also independent is because they have some scruples about Yinsha Village, but in essence they have no affiliation with the Kingdom of Wind.

  The money paid regularly is not so much a tax as a protection fee.

  Of course, Shayin Village can also be said to be rich in natural materials and earthly treasures, and big fists are the last word.

   But this can be said to the Loulan people, but it will not work to Dashewan. His fists are also very big. This kind of rhetoric will not solve any problems at all. On the contrary, it will tear the face and lead to direct confrontation.

   "I have confirmed the completion of the dragon vein transaction with Queen Loulan, and the corresponding price has been negotiated."

  Oshemaru weaves lies without leaving a trace, but the logic in it is convincing, "Sand Hidden Village is not the two parties to this transaction, but only the cost of the next employment, and the discount on surgery is more than enough."

   "" Fengying Luosha frowned, realizing that he couldn't even refute.

  Of course, this is not how seamless Orochimaru said. Fundamentally, Shayin Village is not Orochimaru, not Konoha's opponent, far inferior.

  In such a situation, if the other party reasoned well, they had to reason well, and they couldn't come up with the means to turn the table.

  If the power of the enemy and the enemy is reversed, there will be no chance for the other party to say such nonsense. You just need to show your muscles and let Orochimaru and Loulan know the truth that "the dragon's veins belong to Shayin Village".

   "No, the village must not agree."

  Grandma Chiyo listened to the entire transaction, and suddenly said decisively, "This is simply a humiliation to Hidden Sand Village."

  She also understands the reason that the situation is stronger than others, but a temporary compromise is fine, but bowing your head to such an extent is hurting Sand Ninja's backbone.

  Having lived in Sand Hidden Village all her life, Grandma Chiyo knows very well what is most important to the village.

  The price given by Orochimaru can be said to be very generous, but this transaction itself is obviously on the territory of the Kingdom of Wind, but it has to be carried out without Sand Hidden Village, obviously not paying attention to them.

  Grandma Chiyo's attitude made Orochimaru shake his head, and thought to himself, "Tsk...that's really old fashioned."

  Spiritual beliefs are indeed important, but they can be guided and shaped by humans. In this regard, Sain is far inferior to Konoha, and is too obsessed with things on the bright side.

  Among Konoha's civilians and ordinary ninjas, who would think that Hokage and Nemo's Danzo were companions? That is a very different light and shade.

  Seeing the high-level Sand Hidden like this, Orochimaru felt that it was no accident that the village fell into the current state.

  However, he has long been prepared for the current situation.

  Looking at Kazekage, who was a bit embarrassed and unwilling to conflict with the village elders, Orochimaru chuckled, "Elder Chiyo seems to have misunderstood a bit. I definitely have no intention of underestimating Sagakushi."

  Grandma Chiyo looked directly at Orochimaru with aggressive eyes, "But you did this."

Chiyo is indeed the old Jiang of Shayin Village. After all, there are two types of old people in this world. One is that the more they live, the more afraid of death, and gradually become cowardly, such as Danzo, while the other is that they feel that they have lived enough. , The more you live, the more courageous you are. In this mentality, you are really invincible.

  After making a decision at this time, she didn't care how strong Orochimaru was, and she was full of courage and a bit of momentum.

  Even Kazekage couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this old clapper is really brave, although thinking like this is a bit damaging to morale, but under the aura of Orochimaru, he can't maintain complete composure, far inferior to Elder Sand Yin at the moment.

   "It was just a misunderstanding."

   Orochimaru did not look at Chiyo, but stared straight at Luo Sha, and suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty Kazekage, has it never occurred to you that the people of Loulan who have lost the protection of the dragon veins and have the funds after the transaction will go?"

  This question stunned both the aggressive Chiyo and the contemplative Kazekage.

  Indeed, without the protection of the dragon veins, it is impossible for the Loulan people to gain a foothold in the desert, not to mention natural disasters, and it is difficult to avoid man-made disasters alone.

  He was guilty of committing the jade, the Loulan people at that time were almost no different from the children holding gold in the downtown area, and even Sha Yin wanted to play a cameo as a robber.

   "During the transaction, I didn't promise to give Queen Loulan too much protection." Orochimaru grinned slightly, "But Sayin can do this."

   "Sufficient population, and a lot of money... What does this mean to Hidden Sand Village at this time, I don't need to remind you too much."

  Grandma Chiyo and Kazekage Rasa met each other, and their eyes lit up.

   They were moved.

  The previous discount of Orochimaru can only be said to be a small favor compared to the following conditions.

  Population aside, the amount of money used to trade Loulan must be huge, and the Loulan people who carry this money stay in Shayin Village, which is almost equivalent to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and it is profitable for the village.

  This transaction is no longer the original "Sha Yin cooperates with the show, and Orochimaru gives some discounts on surgery", but divides up Loulan. One side gets the dragon veins, and the other side gets Loulan's population and a lot of money.

  Based on this calculation, Orochimaru did not underestimate Sand Hidden Village. The two parties stand on the trading table as equals.

   But in fact, Shayin Village can make more money.

   "Before you said that you would not give Loulan too much shelter..."

   After making eye contact with Kazekage, Grandma Chiyo turned her gaze to Orochimaru in front of her, "What exactly is the level?"

   "It's easy to say, but it won't make Loulan black."

  Oshemaru grinned, showing two rows of sharp white teeth, "Don't be too greedy in Shayin Village, this transaction is not just between you and me, Queen Loulan also has a seat."

  The natural energy of the dragon vein riot still needs the comfort of Queen Loulan, so naturally he will not completely throw it aside after the transaction.

  If it's that simple, it's better to just rely on the previous sandstorm to bury everyone.

  Grandma Chiyo frowned when she heard the words. In fact, her question was just a test, but Orochimaru's attitude made people very concerned.

  If Loulan merges into Shayin Village next, then Orochimaru’s protection will be too obtrusive, almost equivalent to burying a nail in Shayin Village.

   This is absolutely unacceptable.

   "Please don't think too much, I'm not that interested in Hidden Sand Village."

  Oshemaru waved his hand, "It's just a limited protection, as long as you don't go too far, I won't stand up for the 'normal' village integration at all."

  The huge power of the dragon veins, of course, will not be used just once. He should maintain a good relationship with Queen Loulan, but this does not mean that he will meet all the requirements of the other party.

Since the people of Loulan will enter Shayin Village in the future, it will be the general trend to be annexed and integrated into it. It is meaningless to fight against it. He will only make the process more stable and avoid unnecessary harm .

  Although there are indeed three parties on the trading table, except for Orochimaru and Sand Hidden Village, the third party is really weak and can only be left and right.

   But that's a pretty good deal.

  If it wasn't for Queen Loulan who could control the dragon's veins, and was targeted by Orochimaru and Shayin Village at the same time, she would be swallowed up.

But now, Orochimaru has obtained the dragon veins, an assistant who can control the natural energy steadily, Shayin Village has obtained a large amount of funds and population, and has a chance to get rid of the decline of these years, and Queen Loulan has also successfully preserved their children. civil.

  Everyone is a winner, this is a win-win situation.

  There is no shadow of a loser at all on the trading table, or in other words, the loser has no chance to be on the trading table at all.

   "..."

  Grandma Chiyo and Kazekage Rasa have been thinking about it for a long time, and they both feel that there is no reason to refuse, but this is an excellent opportunity.

   "The conditions are very attractive." Granny Chiyo's attitude eased up, which was quite different from before. "So, what exactly do you want us to do?"

   "I said it at the beginning, it's just a play."

  Oshemaru smiled, picked up the teapot from the Kazekage table, and poured himself a cup.

  …

  After leaving Kazekage's office, a smile appeared on the corner of Da Shemaru's mouth.

   Actually, there is another link under this transaction.

  Although Tsunade has been entrusted with the full power of Konoha's surgery, the 'Physical Strengthening Surgery' itself is still a good tool for making money.

  The people of Loulan came to Shayin, and in order to live and gain a foothold, funds will flow to Shayin Village. And after that, through surgery, the extra money would come back to him.

   This would not have happened originally, because the finances of Shayin Village were indeed very tight, but after he injected new funds into it, this pool of stagnant water began to flow again.

  This is also a ring involving three parties.

  He seems to have paid a lot, but he will get everything back soon.

   As for Sand Hidden Village, which has been strengthened again because of the running water, Orochimaru doesn't care.

   This is not to underestimate the strength of sand ninjas, but that he will not give the opponent a chance to stand on the opposite side of him.

   On the contrary, if the conditions are right, it can be used by oneself.

   "The next step is to wait." Orochimaru licked his lips, "Waiting to meet the queen tomorrow, she is still in the dark."
