I… I've been found out… At the dining table, Tsunade felt the meaningful glances from Hyuga Mio and Ichikishimahime. She ate with her head down, her face red, yet also a little secretly pleased. She had surpassed Hyuga Mio by a lot!
What happened?
Uchiha Hikari sensed the strange atmosphere at the dining table and was puzzled. Last night, she had secretly drunk a little fruit wine and slept until morning, completely unaware that the rather depressed Hyuga Mio next to her only fell asleep late into the night.
"I'll go to the hospital to see if they need any help."
Tsunade really couldn't bear it anymore. She found an excuse to leave the house. With her recovery ability, her body was already fine.
If Orochimaru hadn't had to get up in the morning to clean up the trash and dishes from the birthday party, Tsunade would have wanted to stay in Orochimaru's arms a little longer.
Walking on the street, Tsunade felt that everything was so beautiful. Recalling last night, a sweet and happy smile appeared on her face amidst her shyness.
Speaking of which, I should also start using the Yin Seal to store Chakra.
Should I place the Yin Seal on my forehead like Grandma, or on my wrist, or my abdomen?
Tsunade thought of the exceptionally sexy and alluring Yin Seal on Orochimaru's abdomen. She decided it would be better to place it on her forehead.
Kitchen
Orochimaru was washing dishes, looking at the downcast Hyuga Mio beside her. Thinking of Uchiha Hikari, who hadn't slept in her room last night, she understood what was going on.
"Regretting it?"
"You saw through me…"
Hyuga Mio said with a somewhat evasive look. She deeply regretted creating an opportunity for Tsunade last night and wanted to slap her past self. Why pretend to be so magnanimous!
Regret is regret, but time cannot be reversed.
"Mio, others might not see what you're thinking, but to me, everything you think is written on your face."
Orochimaru's cool, damp fingers lifted Hyuga Mio's chin, looking at her slightly tired appearance from not resting well last night.
"Why do something you don't want to do?"
Orochimaru thought of something.
"Is it because of Grandma Mito? You saw through Grandma Mito's intentions."
"Mm."
Hyuga Mio nodded, holding Orochimaru's hand with both hands, hesitating to speak.
"Orochimaru, do you… do you think I'm silly?"
"You are a little silly, but adorably so. For someone as cunning as you to be willing to do such a thing, it's quite surprising."
Orochimaru opened her arms, looking gently at Hyuga Mio, as if looking at a small fox in desperate need of comfort.
Hyuga Mio hugged Orochimaru and bit her neck, expressing her unwillingness.
"It seems the Inuzuka clan's ninja dogs will gain another powerful member."
Orochimaru smiled and patted Hyuga Mio's back.
"Even if I'm a ninja dog, I'm your Orochimaru's ninja dog…"
Hyuga Mio's eyes held a hint of annoyance. She bit Orochimaru's lip and then kissed her.
"Alright… I still have to wash the dishes."
Orochimaru pinched the flesh on Hyuga Mio's waist, looking at her flushed face.
"I, I'll help…"
Hyuga Mio's voice trembled slightly, and her breathing was a little short.
"Later, I'm going to the Land of Waves. Mio, do you want to come with me?"
After washing the dishes, Orochimaru wiped the water from her hands.
"Yes, I do!"
Hyuga Mio answered without the slightest hesitation.
Spiral Tower
Uzumaki Mito observed Tsunade and said with a smile, "Tsunade, you and Orochimaru, did it, didn't you?"
"Ah! Grandma, what are you talking about!"
Tsunade's face instantly turned bright red.
"Grandma is an experienced woman. Can't I tell that much?"
"Grandma, you made me drink alcohol before, and then you got Orochimaru drunk last night. Could it be just for that?!"
Tsunade looked at her grandmother's smile and belatedly realized.
"You just figured it out! If you weren't so stupid, Tsunade, why would I resort to such a measure?"
It was better that Tsunade didn't mention it, but once she did, Uzumaki Mito was filled with anger.
Land of Waves, White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company, Finance Office
"This is…"
Kakuzu looked at the stacked scrolls with a hint of shock in his eyes. They almost occupied half the office space, and these scrolls were all valuable large scrolls. The items sealed within them must be worth a fortune.
"These are strategic supplies I seized from an Iwagakure supply unit's camp during a previous mission. Kakuzu, help me sell them, preferably to Iwagakure. I'll give you a 20% commission."
"No problem, just leave it to me."
Kakuzu readily agreed, then realized who Orochimaru wanted to sell these supplies to.
"Wait, who did you say to sell the supplies to?"
Kakuzu looked at Orochimaru incredulously. He had never seen her so ruthless, stealing Iwagakure's supplies and then selling them back to Iwagakure.
"Can't you do it? Well, I'll just have to find someone else. All these supplies could easily sell for tens of millions, maybe even over a hundred million. That 20% commission would be…"
Orochimaru didn't force Kakuzu. She slowly put away the large scrolls, one after another, tucking them into her sleeve. Hyuga Mio, Uchiha Hikari, and Ichikishimahime, who had come along for the fun, helped her stuff the scrolls into her sleeve.
Over a hundred million!
That 20% commission would be… tens of millions of Ryo!
Kakuzu sprang to his feet, extended his hand, and said seriously, "Stop! If even I, Kakuzu, can't sell these supplies, no one else can!"
"Then I'll leave it to you, Kakuzu."
Orochimaru took out the scrolls sealed in her sleeve again. Before leaving the company, she instructed Aokawa to prepare easily assembled TV towers.
She couldn't bring people responsible for installing the TV towers to Ryūchi Cave, meaning she would have to install the TV towers herself.
In the ancient and elegant room, a faint scent of incense permeated the air.
Uzumaki Chigusa sat gracefully in a chair, holding a manuscript by the famous forbidden book author Miya. Her serious expression made it seem as if she was contemplating a very grave issue.
Ultimately, such a posture wouldn't be possible, would it?
Uzumaki Chigusa picked up a teacup and took a sip of tea, then put down the manuscript in her hand, sensing a familiar Chakra.
Orochimaru, Hyuga Mio, Uchiha Hikari… who was the last one?
The immense Sage Chakra, very similar to Orochimaru's Chakra in Sage Mode, did it all come from Ryūchi Cave?
Uzumaki Chigusa opened her eyes, wondering how such a petite figure could possess such vast Sage Chakra. The amount of Sage Chakra Orochimaru possessed was like a small stream compared to a rushing river in front of her.
"Orochimaru, I thought it would be a long time before you came to see me."
Uzumaki Chigusa enthusiastically hugged Orochimaru, kissing her on the lips, not at all hiding her relationship with her. Noticing Uchiha Hikari and Hyuga Mio looking at her with hostility, she greeted them, "Hello everyone, I'm Orochimaru's lover in the Land of Waves."
Although she didn't have an advantage in age, she didn't think she would lose to them.
"Oh~! This is what they call having a mistress!"
Ichikishimahime deliberately drew out her words, gloating as she watched the impending fierce argument.
"Orochimaru, who is she? She has a vast amount of Sage Chakra."
Uzumaki Chigusa's gaze fell on Ichikishimahime. Such a vast amount of Sage Chakra didn't seem like something a human could possess.
"Ichikishimahime, one of the Three Snake Princesses of Ryūchi Cave."
Orochimaru increasingly wanted to send this mischievous thousand-year-old loli back to Ryūchi Cave. It was truly easy to invite a god, but hard to send her away.
Those are… In the room, Hyuga Mio and Uchiha Hikari immediately noticed the bound manuscripts on the table, recognized them as Orochimaru's writing, and their gazes towards Uzumaki Chigusa became subtle.
Uzumaki Chigusa ignored their gazes. She wasn't really fond of reading forbidden books; she was reading them with a critical mindset!
"I wonder when the war will end. I still want to see your new works."
