Extorting Orochimaru

"Then I advise you not to move around!"

Just a moment ago, Ye Liangnai was still far away, but now she had appeared behind Guren, holding a knife to Guren's neck, looking at her with a playful expression.

"Orochimaru, is it fun watching a show? Come out!"

Ye Liangnai looked behind Guren and said.

"Heh heh, as expected of the man known as the White Cold Light, his speed is indeed astonishing!"

Orochimaru, dressed in a white robe, emerged from the mountain wall with a wary smile on his face and said...

He certainly couldn't help but be on guard. What did Ye Liangnai want with her sudden visit?

For Orochimaru, who had recently defected from Akatsuki Organization, everyone who came to him was someone who was hunting him down.

After all, Ye Liangnai has a good relationship with the Akatsuki Organization, doesn't she?

"Don't be so tense. I'm not here to kill you. I'm not that free!"

Ye Liangnai sheathed her long sword and said, "I've come to discuss something with you."

"What, Orochimaru, aren't you going to invite me to your base?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, stared at Ye Liangnai for a long time, and then grinned, saying, "Please!"

However, her eyes never left Ye Liangnai, for fear that he might suddenly attack.

"Don't worry, Orochimaru, I have no interest in you!"

Seeing Orochimaru's wariness, Ye Liangnai grinned.

But Orochimaru naturally wouldn't do as he was told.

Who knows if Ye Liangnai's words are true or false.

Guren also watched Ye Liangnai with extreme vigilance, in case he did anything that would be detrimental to Orochimaru.

In Orochimaru's research lab!

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"

Seeing that Ye Liangnai was looking at the various instruments and experimental subjects in his laboratory, Orochimaru took the initiative to ask a question.

There are probably very few people in the entire Shinobi World who can make Orochimaru this nervous!

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai took out a scroll, placed it in front of Orochimaru, and said, "After reading what's inside, you'll know what my purpose is!"

Orochimaru picked up the scroll with a puzzled look, then broke the seal on it. When he saw what was inside, he was immediately surprised.

"You actually..."

Excitement flashed in his eyes, and he licked his lips, saying, "You've got quite the ambition, haven't you? White Cold Light, you actually want to touch something like that!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai leaned back, looking rather arrogant, and said, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

"Didn't you and Shimura Danzō research a Tenzo?"

"If even someone like Danzo dares to do it, why shouldn't I? Is there anything wrong with me being curious about the power of Wood Release?"

Orochimaru: "Then why did you come to me? Wouldn't it have been better to do the research yourself? Why let an outsider like me know about these secrets?"

Ye Liangnai raised an eyebrow. "No one in the entire Shinobi World understands the power of Wood Release better than you."

"Exchanging relevant information with you is the best option; why should I bother?"

Orochimaru chuckled evilly, "Hmph, well thought, but I refuse. There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"What do you think I came to your door in person for? Do you think you have the right to refuse?"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Ye Liangnai stroked her chin, confidently stating her position.

"I heard that the Akatsuki Organization is currently searching for your whereabouts."

"If I were to let your trail be discovered and keep tracking you, you'd probably be quite annoyed!"

Upon hearing Ye Liangnai's words, Orochimaru's expression turned icy cold, and his aura became sharp. He said, "This is a last resort; it's not good for either of us!"

"Therefore, you need to make a wise choice so that I don't take this terrible step!"

Ye Liangnai crossed her legs and looked at Orochimaru with a leisurely air.

Orochimaru: "This is blatant robbery. Don't you think it's a bit too much? Do you think I, Orochimaru, am easy to bully?"

"Of course not. In exchange, I can give you a hundred death row inmates as test subjects and keep your hiding place a secret!"

"And all you need to do is give me your research data on Wood Release!"

"So, isn't this a really good deal?"

Ye Liangnai flashed a mouthful of White Fang.

"Orochimaru, you should know that the Akatsuki Organization aren't the only ones in the Shinobi World who want your life right now!"

"I remember you took quite a few Cloud Ninja corpses from the Kumogakure, didn't you?"

"The Fourth Raikage has been searching for you with bated breath!"

"On my way here, I also encountered Konoha Ninja; they were also looking for you!"

"Of course, I also helped you resolve the danger of your hideout being discovered and pointed them to a route to another country!"

"See? My sincerity is quite evident!"

Looking at Ye Liangnai's smiling face, Orochimaru felt like he was going to vomit blood.

This isn't sincerity at all; it's blatant extortion!

Is there any comparability between exchanging one hundred death row inmates for Wood Release research data? Absolutely not.

In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen someone as powerful yet so shameless as Ye Liangnai.

What about the integrity of the strong?

"Hehe, thank you so much! I agree to your terms!"

Orochimaru suppressed his resentment and agreed to Ye Liangnai's conditions.

There was nothing he could do; circumstances forced him to back down.

"A wise choice!"

Upon hearing that Orochimaru had agreed to her request, Ye Liangnai immediately broke into a wide smile.

Then, Orochimaru made a vomiting sound and spat out a black scroll from his mouth, which he handed to Ye Liangnai.

Ye Liangnai was immediately speechless and retorted, "Orochimaru, the methods you guys use are truly perverse and disgusting!"

Looking at the scroll covered in saliva, Ye Liangnai could only suppress her nausea and take it, then open it to verify its authenticity.

After confirming that the information was genuine, Ye Liangnai put away the scroll and left his residence.

Ye Liangnai left than Orochimaru immediately mobilized all his subordinates to move out.

This base is no longer suitable!

He couldn't guarantee that Ye Liangnai would keep her word, so he could only be cautious.

However, everyone in the Shinobi World was only curious about one thing at the moment.

So what is Ye Liangnai doing in the Land of Rice Fields?

It's impossible that someone like him would suddenly appear in the Land of Rice Fields out of boredom!

But he himself doesn't say anything, and few people have been able to find any clues.

After all, Orochimaru has always been very good at keeping secrets.

"Could it be that this suddenly established Otogakure was secretly supported by Kirigakure?"

In the end, everyone could only come to this guess.

Because the Otogakure had only been established for a short time, Ye Liangnai arrived, it's easy to draw connections between the two.

After hearing about this, Ye Liangnai simply acquiesced.

Since someone helped him 'explain' and cover up his true purpose.

This would save him the trouble of finding another excuse to cover up the fact that he came to see Orochimaru.

Even though this will make the other four great ninja villages more wary of Kirigakure, it doesn't matter.

In any case, the other four major ninja villages have never been less vigilant against Kirigakure.
