Orochimaru's Misgivings
Orochimaru's Misgivings
But after a thousand phones had been sold, only a small portion of Konoha's residents had gotten one.
Everyone else had only heard about them or watched from the sidelines.
They were also eager to get their hands on a phone.
Many people who hadn't bought one today regretted it and planned to pick one up tomorrow.
But that was only true of families who were relatively well-off.
Those living in poorer conditions naturally paid no attention to what a phone was.
And they weren't Torifu's target anyway.
Torifu only liked making money from the wealthy.
However, all the shinobi could play for free on the first day, so no Calmness Points had been earned today.
Besides, Shimura Danzō hadn't finished setting up the payment terminals yet.
In a secret cave somewhere in Konoha's Back Mountain, Orochimaru was busy in his laboratory.
But since he had run out of test subjects, he could only do some basic work to pass the time while he waited for more to arrive.
His wait wasn't in vain. At last, as night fell, a group of black-clad men entered the cave, each carrying an unconscious person over his shoulder.
"Lord Orochimaru, the test subjects have arrived."
"Put them downstairs." His voice was hoarse, like that of a sinister snake.
After finishing what he was working on, Orochimaru turned around and frowned slightly. "Are these bandits?"
The black-clad man nodded. "Yes, sir. Lord Danzō won't let us capture test subjects in Konoha anymore, and people from the Land of Fire are off-limits too. So we could only capture bandits for your experiments."
"If we're slow to bring you more later, it'll be because we've run out of bandits in the area. We hope you won't hold it against us, Lord Orochimaru."
