When Natsume returned home, a large portion of steaming breakfast was already on the table.
I have to say that as a domestic maid, the Witch Nonoyu is quite competent.
"Bah, bah, bah—"
Natsume wolfed down her breakfast.
He asked vaguely:
"Is Yuhi Kurenai awake?"
"not yet……"
"The bones in this body are also very weak!"
"Anyway, after she wakes up, there is no rush to untie her and continue to seal her chakra."
"Konoha's ninjas have very hard bones. Starve her for a few days to break her will, and then I'll do the spell!"
"You can give me some water, just don't die of thirst in the middle."
Natsume instructed coldly.
He would never show mercy to the ninjas of Konoha.
If it weren't for Yuhi Kurenai being really useful, Natsume wouldn't even bother to save her.
After all, he had been exposed to so many educational films in his previous life, so it was impossible for Natsume to be swayed by this mere beauty.
"As you command!"
No Naiyu agreed.
"By the way. How are the children from the orphanage that we brought back last time?"
"They are all fine and have settled in the newly built [Orphanage]. Kabuto is guiding them..."
"That's good."
"If the [Orphanage] needs anything, you can talk to my guards. I have already told them that I will fully support the [Orphanage]."
"Plus, you don't have to stay here all day."
"When I'm not around, just leave two clones here. Your true body can also go to the [Orphanage] to visit more and help those orphans."
"Those children are very important. In the future, they will gradually come into contact with, get along with, and live together with our Uchiha clan..."
Natsume warned carefully.
If he wanted to build a prosperous and powerful hidden village, it would not be enough to rely on just a few hundred Uchiha people.
We will gradually accept more people in the future.
But the Uchiha clan, which has suffered discrimination and isolation in Konoha, is somewhat xenophobic.
Therefore, we had to let the tribesmen accept the orphans first.
Only then can we use this as a basis to slowly accept more people.
"I understand, thank you sir!"
No Naiyu was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
To be honest, she really wanted to go see the children at the [Orphanage].
Before, I was just worried that I had not taken good care of the young patriarch, which would make Natsume angry at the [Orphanage]...
…
After breakfast, I took a short rest.
Natsume set out again.
At present, the village should not face any major threats in a short period of time.
Therefore, developing the village became the primary purpose.
As we all know, if you want to develop the village and increase the influence of [Yanyin Village], there are many aspects that need to be involved.
Force, economy, culture, politics...etc.
Except for force, there are few shortcuts in other aspects, and it requires a lot of time to accumulate.
Therefore, Natsume goes out at this moment.
Just prepare to find a 'shortcut' to increase the overall combat power of your own village!
Not long after, Natsume arrived at the neighbor [Oto Ninja Village].
I'm going to discuss it with 'Dear Aunt Snake'.
…
Before entering Orochimaru's underground base, Natsume also deliberately restrained the aura of [Senior Body].
After all, it was not appropriate to reveal the news that he had obtained the [Immortal Human Body] to Orochimaru in a short period of time.
Otherwise, it is completely conceivable.
How powerfully attractive would a living [Celestial Human Body] be to Orochimaru!
With Orochimaru's fanaticism.
I'm afraid that when he was sleeping, he couldn't help but climb into his bed and stab himself.
Then take some 'living samples' and go back to study!
"Orochimaru, are you at home?"
"Ah! Isn't this Natsume-sama? Welcome!"
In the autopsy room, Orochimaru smelled of blood.
Wearing a pair of gloves, squinting his eyes, he walked out cheerfully and said welcome.
"Are you doing experiments again?"
"It's just for fun. It's over. It's out of the way."
"And where is Natsume-sama? What's the matter? It seems that you have benefited a lot from this war you started, right?"
Orochimaru asked back with a smile.
After all, the sealed scroll he carried in his pocket before was passed back to Konoha Danzo through his intelligence network.
Therefore, Orochimaru also guessed it.
The instigator of this war between Konoha and Iwagakure is Natsume!
Stirring the wind and clouds in the darkness, pulling the strings of fate with great power...
The great achievement that he longed to achieve was actually succeeded by a child in his early ten years.
How sad!
"Is this Uchiha clan really the darling of immortals? The favored ones of the times?"
"Why are there always shocking monsters born one after another!"
Orochimaru narrowed his snake eyes and sighed secretly.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, as one of the three ninjas who devotes himself to taboo research, he is also a monster himself!
"It's just a small profit, it's nothing."
"By the way, this is one of the rewards promised before, take it."
Natsume flipped his right hand and threw a glass tube to Orochimaru.
And stored in glass tubes.
It is a pair of intact 'Three Magatama Sharingan'!
This was also one of the conditions for Natsume and Orochimaru's cooperation.
Otherwise, given Orochimaru's character.
How could he help Natsume for free?
As for the pair of 'Three Magatama Sharingan', they were also snatched from Uchiha Fugaku.
As the patriarch of the family, in order to ensure that the limit of his blood inheritance [Sharingan] is not lost.
Over the years, the eyes of a large number of Uchiha ninjas who have died in wars and missions will be returned to the hands of the patriarch.
Although most of these recovered Sharingan will be erased. But a few outstanding [Sharingan] will still be preserved.
As a trump card left by the family to prepare for the next war.
Not just the Uchiha clan. All ninjutsu families in the ninja world have similar measures...
Therefore, it is normal for Fugaku to have a small batch of sealed [Sharingan] in his hands.
Of course, during these years.
Occasionally, Konoha Roots will report that some Uchiha ninjas who were on missions were suddenly killed in battle, and no bones were left...
There is no doubt that those corpses must have been inked from the roots.
But due to the pressure from Konoha's top brass, Fugaku had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Until now, the entire Uchiha clan has defected.
It would be useless for Fugaku to keep these sealed Sharingan in his hands, it would only intensify the suspicion.
Then it was all handed over to Natsume.
…
Orochimaru took the glass tube and looked at the Sharingan in it, feeling a burning sensation in his heart.
Although, this 'Three Magatama Sharingan' is far inferior to the 'Mangekyo Sharingan' that I most expected.
But for him at this stage, it is also a very precious research material.
I didn’t expect that this brat Natsume would give it to him so happily.
Could it be that he secretly attacked his own people?
Cruel enough!
However, no matter how he got it, it has nothing to do with him.
In short, Natsume can handle this little brat!
"Natsume-kun, you are indeed true."
"Don't scream like that, it sounds disgusting~~"
Natsume sneered.
Hearing Orochimaru's affectionate name is really creepy!
"But, Natsume-sama, when can you bring me your kaleidoscope for me to study?"
"You can do it at any time. But you have to get it yourself."
Natsume smiled calmly and responded jokingly.
Of course, if Orochimaru really dares to take action.
He also promised that he would peel off Aunt Snake's clothes layer by layer...
Oh no……
It’s peeling off Uncle Snake’s skin layer by layer!
Orochimaru: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously!"
"By the way, Natsume-sama paid you a surprise visit. What are you doing?"
"No way, you just came to give me test materials, right?"
Orochimaru put away the glass tube and started talking about business.
Based on his understanding of the kid Natsume, this kid definitely came to him for something serious.
"It's nothing big, I just wanted to ask you to do a little favor."
"What little favor?"
"Help me use [Undying Earth Reincarnation] to channel two people back."
Orochimaru was shocked, not knowing when he was exposed again.
He had obviously learned this forbidden technique secretly, but it was also a secret that no one knew about?
However, Orochimaru quickly calmed down.
After all, it’s no longer strange.
It seems like there is no secret in this world that a brat like Natsume doesn’t know...
Orochimaru: "Which two people?"
Natsume: "The rebellious ninjas of Kumogakure: Golden Horn and Silver Horn!"
…
