"The environment is indeed very nice."
"The air is fresh, and the food supply is plentiful."
On Haruma Shisui strolled through the village and fields, taking in everything around him.
Sensing the exact coordinates, Haruma paused and continued, "Most importantly, Orochimaru must be quite satisfied with the experimental environment here."
After all, they were quite far from the five great ninja villages. For Orochimaru to secretly capture a few test subjects with his strength was practically like a thief searching clothes.
Having been bombarded with inspirational Shisui found himself appreciating the beauty of the countryside and didn't take the task too seriously.
After all, what exactly is the mission...?
The Shisui is still unclear.
Haruma put her hand on Shisui's shoulder. "Let's go, it's time to see this old friend."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two figures vanished.
" Multiple Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
As soon as the two landed, their vision was filled with a swarm of leaping venomous snakes.
Faced with the sudden attack, Haruma remained unmoved, without even a trace of panic in her eyes.
After all, Haruma had anticipated this situation.
This is a cunning being who survived the finale unscathed.
She knew perfectly well that the Shuriken she had given him was a token engraved with time and space coordinates.
It would be normal to place it not far away and then set up further traps or warnings.
How could Orochimaru possibly keep it close to his body, thus putting himself in a constantly vulnerable and dangerous situation?
This was just a casual, probing Ninjutsu, and Haruma even thought Orochimaru had a bit of a compassionate heart.
If someone were to give Haruma a time-space coordinate, saying they didn't know when they would meet her...
The dozen or so S-rank trap Ninjutsu are probably just for basic use.
Facing a swarm of snakes rushing towards them.
Shisui, standing beside him, reacted extremely quickly, advancing instead of retreating in the face of the attack.
Take a step forward!
Chakra surged to his throat, and a hint of red light shone from the corner of Shisui's mouth.
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!
The surging sea of fire transformed countless venomous snakes into roasted snakes billowing black smoke in the blink of an eye.
The scorching heat killed the venomous snakes and then surged forward!
The dark passageway instantly turned bright red.
Kabuto Yakushi, who arrived a step too late, felt the rising temperature from the rock wall and hurriedly shouted to the figure ahead, " Lord Orochimaru, watch out!"
" Earth Release ·Corridor."
The familiar hoarse tone.
The straight passageway in front of them suddenly twisted and became winding, with the scorching sea of fire being wrapped layer by layer by the thick rock walls like a rolled-up flower roll.
Once the flames died down, the spiraling corridor slowly unfolded once more.
The kerosene lamp was lit, and although it wasn't as bright as before, visibility was still perfectly fine.
Danzo!
Upon seeing Haruma's current appearance, Dou exclaimed in surprise.
His face contorted for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and slowly walked to Orochimaru's side, keeping a watchful eye on him.
Unexpectedly, Kabuto was already working for Orochimaru at this point. This kid is actually quite a talent.
Despite Danzo, she quickly suppressed her emotions.
It barely qualifies as a minor negative coin.
"Mr. Fugo Man?"
The mysterious person who gave him the coordinates was definitely not Danzo; Orochimaru, who had fought against him, was certain of that.
But now...
Orochimaru looked at Haruma with curiosity, and at Shisui, who was dressed in Root attire, beside him.
"Just Substitution Technique."
Haruma shrugged and whispered a shocking secret, " Danzo was killed by me."
"I will temporarily take over as the second-in-command of Konoha."
The fact that such a confidential matter was casually revealed on Haruma was not a slip of the tongue or an attempt to show off, but rather a well-thought-out decision.
Putting aside Orochimaru's status as a Konoha missing-nin, does anyone actually believe this information?
Even if Sarutobi suspects him, without solid evidence, he probably wouldn't dare to turn against him.
After all, inaction and maintaining the status quo were Sarutobi's governing style.
In the past, radical actions were all initiated by Danzo, or even handled privately.
Furthermore, appropriately demonstrating some skills and strength would be beneficial for long-term cooperation with Orochimaru in the future.
"Oh!"
Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply; he was indeed shocked by this sudden piece of information.
He did not doubt the authenticity of this information, after all, he had witnessed the man's strength.
Furthermore, the news of Danzo's attack on the Danzo in the Land of Fire had already spread far and wide.
That day was quite a spectacle.
Not only was there a conspicuous towering barrier, but Asuma, as the daimyo's bodyguard, even sent letters requesting help to many surrounding ninja forces.
Unexpectedly, the intelligence clearly stated that Danzo unharmed, but it turned out that he had been replaced by someone else.
As for Orochimaru Kabuto Yakushi, who was standing beside Orochimaru, he seemed to have a calm reaction.
But under Haruma's watchful eyes, his clenched fist and the nails digging into his flesh were so clearly visible.
It's unclear whether he was feeling excited about his enemy's death or frustrated at not having personally killed him.
Orochimaru, quickly regaining his senses, licked his lips and asked, "So, what is the purpose of this visit, Mr. Fugo Man?"
"Cooperate."
A stone pier protruded from the ground, Haruma plopped down on it, arrogantly crossing her legs, and said, "I should have quite a few things that you'd be interested in."
"Oh?"
Orochimaru crossed his arms and asked with interest, "For example?"
Haruma rhythmically shook his leg and said leisurely, "For example, the cells of the First Hokage, the Sharingan, the Byakugan, and even the Rinnegan!"
"There are also S-rank Ninjutsu, forbidden techniques, Kekkei Genkai Techniques, Kekkei Tōta Techniques, and even Kekkei Mōra Techniques!"
"Certainly!"
Haruma clapped her hands and said, "Even if you want to study Tailed Beast, no matter how many tails they have, even if it's the Ten-Tails, I can get it for you."
Although it felt somewhat absurd, Orochimaru still asked hopefully, "So what do I need to give in return?"
I'll give you what you want, and you give me what you need.
A mutually agreeable exchange of terms is the foundation of fair cooperation.
Orochimaru understood this basic principle.
Haruma stated directly, "A newly developed Ninjutsu."
"Or... the simpler and more direct cash purchase!"
"New technology? Cash?"
Orochimaru became even more suspicious that this person was really just bragging.
Major powers directly spend money to buy Tailed Beast and train multiple Jinchūriki.
Merchants directly buy Kekkei Genkai and Dōjutsu.
If cash could buy all that stuff you're talking about, the Shinobi World wouldn't be in such chaos right now.
Why not just compare whose savings account is larger?
"That's right."
Faced with Orochimaru's suspicion, Haruma simply said, "The new level of Ninjutsu you developed can be exchanged for any Ninjutsu or secret technique of the same level that you wish to know."
"If you develop a brand-new S-rank or forbidden Ninjutsu, you can also exchange it for goods of the same value as those I mentioned above."
"If it's about money... then all goods are open to the public!"
Orochimaru remained skeptical, frowning as he asked, "What about the price?"
That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!
A barely perceptible glint flashed in Haruma's eyes as she compared the quote with the one provided by the system.
He reported the price of all the goods for sale to Orochimaru after increasing it sixfold.
For example, it would cost a full 900 million to buy One-Tail to Four-Tails.
It would cost a full three billion for a single Rinnegan.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan worth tens of millions, and a Mangekyou Mangekyō worth hundreds of millions.
The Byakugan ranged from tens of millions to billions.
The tens of millions are just ordinary Byakugan; those reaching billions are evolved Tenseigan.
Haruma's series of exorbitant prices even made Orochimaru, who was usually calm and collected, twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Not to mention Kabuto and Shisui, who were already dumbfounded.
