Jiraiya has been eating, drinking and sleeping in Orochimaru's mansion for almost a month.
Now Orochimaru was so regretful that his intestines were turning blue.
"……when are you leaving?"
Orochimaru asked with a sullen face for the 10,086th time.
"Don't worry~ Your place is pretty good. Although the food is a bit poor, I can go out and catch some prey and come back for the barbecue, so I might as well stay a little longer and get close to you~"
Jiraiya lay on the guardrail of the courtyard porch and said in a lazy tone.
Orochimaru's eating habits are surprisingly light. In addition to apples and eggs, he occasionally cooks some high-quality Kusano Kuni beef and fry some steaks that are half-cooked in Jiraiya's eyes. This is not at all in line with his habit of drinking meat and fish. Come.
But Orochimaru originally only kept his old friend at home during the purge movement launched by Uchiha Tokumitsu, but now that the purge movement is over, the shameless Jiraiya is still hanging on. Go, this troubles Orochimaru very much.
Moreover, Jiraiya's existence also made Orochimaru feel very inconvenient. He couldn't do some things that were not very convenient for seeing people. This made Orochimaru feel as uncomfortable as countless ants crawling in his heart.
Jiraiya held a rattle in his hand and played with it constantly. Erlang's legs were still shaking from time to time, and there were several balls of black mud balls on the ground.
Orochimaru, who had a mysophobia, was disgusted by the sight.
"You can go back to your own house and have a barbecue!"
Orochimaru became extremely angry when he mentioned barbecue.
The dry landscape garden he had put so much effort into decorating was ruined by this guy who directly used it as a barbecue place. He hasn't settled the bill yet!
And the most hateful thing is that Jiraiya is still interested in his psychic snakes! Catch them to make snake soup!
"Hey~ Isn't my crappy place not as comfortable as yours~"
Jiraiya still looked like he was not stingy.
"If you still won't leave, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Orochimaru said grimly.
This is the most rude thing he has said in the past month.
"Then you're welcome~"
Jiraiya stared at Orochimaru with a nonchalant expression.
"Latent Shadow Snake Hand!"
Orochimaru no longer hesitated, and with a wave of his hand, several venomous snakes pounced on Jiraiya, who was still lying on the guardrail.
"Hey! Are you serious!"
Jiraiya quickly used the teleportation technique to turn into a puff of smoke to evade, and then landed on a rockery in the courtyard with a pair of heavy clogs, knocking off a corner of it.
Orochimaru saw that the unique rockery was so ruined, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch, and the anger in his heart also increased.
"Are you unable to resist conducting human experiments again?!"
Seeing that Orochimaru was about to take action again, Jiraiya shouted quickly.
"Shut up you idiot!"
Orochimaru's expression suddenly changed, and he looked around with a hint of panic, as if he was afraid that some special person would appear and take him away.
Afterwards, Orochimaru formed another seal and activated the one-way silent barrier arranged at home.
"You have been living here for more than a month, and the purge movement in the village has been stopped for a long time. Leave now!"
Orochimaru, whose secret was exposed, couldn't continue to take action, so he could only issue an expulsion order coldly: "As for the things you destroyed, I can be merciful and don't need you to compensate!"
"Are you going to conduct human experiments at home again?"
Jiraiya asked again with a solemn expression.
"...What are you talking about!"
Orochimaru's face was still cold, "How can you slander another person's innocence for nothing! This is slander. If you report it to the police department, you will be imprisoned for five days!"
"It's just under this rockery, right..."
Jiraiya slightly raised his clogs and knocked on the rockery beneath him, his eyes fixed on Orochimaru, whose expression changed greatly: "Although I didn't go in to check in person, the smell of blood can no longer be concealed..."
Orochimaru didn't say anything more, he just spread his hands down, and venomous snakes poured out of his sleeves like a tide.
"Hey Hey hey!"
Seeing the venomous snakes all over the ground made Jiraiya's scalp tingle, "Do you still want to do something serious?"
Orochimaru still didn't speak, just stared at Jiraiya who was pretending to be panicked. Even under their restraint, the poisonous snakes on the ground were still eager to try, spitting messages at Jiraiya.
"I'm going, I'm going!"
Jiraiya quickly shouted: "Hurry up and put away these stinky snakes! I'll leave right away!"
Orochimaru's face softened slightly and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he waved his hand and the poisonous snakes on the ground turned into clouds of smoke and returned to Ryūchi Cave.
"...I remember you are still the director of the Ethics Committee of the House of Representatives, right? If you continue to conduct human experiments, no one will be able to protect you if something goes wrong."
Jiraiya jumped off the rockery and said quietly.
"...It's the Chakra Technology Development and Research Ethics Committee!"
Orochimaru frowned and said, "It's better than the title of deputy director of the Beast Committee that you hang on!"
"...I am the Ninja Beast Psychic Beast Management and Protection Committee!"
Jiraiya also complained: "I can't even remember this, but I still have the nerve to say that you are my friend!"
Angrily, Jiraiya walked straight into the house, bumped Orochimaru's shoulder with a little childishness, packed his things a little, and was about to leave.
"Be careful yourself and don't go to the women's bath to spy anymore..."
Orochimaru looked a little strange and said: "Teacher is gone, no one can protect you anymore..."
"The same goes for you. If the human experiments are discovered, those Uchiha will not let you go."
Jiraiya turned around and his face became unusually serious: "Orochimaru, you should know that times have changed... It is very dangerous for you to continue to dance on the tip of a knife!"
"...I am not doing human experiments! The consumables in the underground laboratory are monkeys!"
Orochimaru defended himself.
"...You don't have to explain it to me."
Jiraiya shrugged, "I won't tell anyone anyway, but you still have to pay attention."
In fact, for ninjas who regard human life as trivial and regard life and death as ordinary, human experimentation is not a big deal.
But the premise is not to use your own people for human experiments - this is an absolute taboo.
Therefore, no matter whether Orochimaru argued that he was using monkeys as experimental supplies or capturing civilians from outside for experiments, Jiraiya actually didn't take it seriously.
However, after staying in Orochimaru's mansion for a month, Jiraiya found out through public channels that there had been no cases of missing villagers in the village in recent years. From this, it can be seen that Orochimaru was not crazy even if he did human experiments. They arrested people randomly in the village.
Orochimaru's face looked a little gloomy, but he didn't say anything more, just lowered his eyes slightly.
"I know you are still worried about your teacher's death, but..."
Jiraiya had just finished speaking when his words were blocked by Orochimaru's cold eyes.
Living under the same roof for a month also gave the two people who originally had many differences a little more understanding of each other.
In their hearts, both of them were actually full of dissatisfaction with the death of their teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi. They both believed that as contemporary Hokage, they should not be so humiliated by a junior who was inferior to his superior; but what could be done?
After Tokumitsu Uchiha dismantled the four high-level family forces in the original ruling, it was considered magnanimous not to continue to eliminate the relevant personnel of the original Hokage family. If he still thought about overturning the case, he would be seeking death.
And the recent purge movement has clearly told everyone what the consequences will be if you try to challenge the implicit ruling authority of the Uchiha clan in Konoha.
"Just take care of yourself..."
After Jiraiya packed up his things, he put them on his shoulders and prepared to leave.
"Has Myoboku-san looked for you recently?"
When Jiraiya was about to go out, Orochimaru asked behind him.
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
Jiraiya turned around and asked a little strangely.
"...Don't take those aliens' sleep talk too seriously, and don't spend too much energy on the so-called savior. Your strength has stagnated for a long time."
Orochimaru said.
"I will be measured, but you should ask for your own blessings! Also, remember to settle down and don't stay in the quagmire of hatred and be unable to get out!"
Jiraiya waved his hand, opened the door and left.
Orochimaru stood there in trance. After a long time, he said a sentence from between his teeth:
"...Only scum needs to be settled!"
…
Taking the opportunity of the two chunin joint examinations held at almost the same time, one in the south and one in the north, the positions of the five major ninja villages were also determined, and the situation in the ninja world gradually became clear.
Although Jingwei is clearly hostile to each other, except for the ongoing war between Iwagakure and Sunagakure, the situation in the shinobi world is generally stable and improving, and is developing in the direction of peaceful confrontation and prosperity. .
——The above is the official response made by Hatake Sakumo at the plenary session of the House of Representatives and the Senate to the respected Jonin members of the House of Representatives and the Senate who are deeply concerned about the recent situation in the ninja world.
That is to say, although I know that you are full of malice towards me, you also know that I still covet you, but I pretend not to know your malice towards me and you also pretend not to know that I covet you. , although I know you are guarding against me, you also know that I am indeed planning to hit you, but you can't beat me and I don't plan to hit you for the time being, so let's just do it.
Even the caravans under the United Company are still flowing unimpeded within the Kingdom of Thunder as always. It’s just that since Kirabi went south to command the border troops, some smuggling routes that bring in money faster have been blocked. But in general , the overall situation is still developing for the better, but there are just some unsound voices making noise.
"The Kingdom of Thunder refuses to accept gold yuan coupons?"
In the office of Minamigagawa Stock Exchange, Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned and read a report sent by the United Company.
"Yes, according to reports from the ninjas accompanying the team ahead, the area controlled by the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder has begun to privately boycott the circulation of gold yuan coupons, claiming that gold yuan coupons are waste paper that cannot be exchanged for gold coins."
The head of the Shiranui clan, who serves as the business representative of the United Company, immediately stood up and answered.
"Inform the caravans ahead that all goods sold to the Kingdom of Thunder will be priced at a 20% increase if the country of Thunder banknotes are collected during the sales process! If you pay with gold yuan coupons, then there will be a 15% discount."
Uchiha Tokumitsu turned to the attendant ninja and said: "In addition, let the border troops of General Huomen strengthen the defense work of Grass Country and Tian Country, such as sealing the border for a month to conduct special military exercises."
"As you command!"
The attendant ninja immediately left in an instant.
"Besides this, increase the purchase of raw materials in the Kingdom of Thunder. Don't worry about the price, as long as you can spend the gold yuan coupons."
Uchiha Tokumitsu then gave instructions to the leader of the Shiranui clan.
"...I honor your order!"
Although the leader of the Shiranui clan didn't understand why he was doing such a loss-making business, he immediately stood up and agreed.
Then Uchiha Tokumitsu gave some instructions and asked the leader of the Shiranui clan to step back.
"Northern Alliance..."
After putting down the official report in his hand, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt a little sore in his eyes, so he closed his eyes and pressed his temples.
It's not that he is willing to tolerate the back and forth between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, but because after swallowing Kirigakure, the power of the Uchiha clan and the affiliated ninja clan has been dispersed to the extreme.
If they choose to continue to expand, even if they can defeat Kumogakure or Iwagakure's ninja army in frontal combat, they will not be able to achieve actual control over their territory or ninja villages.
And a simple defeat will not do much except lead to deeper hatred.
This contradictory relationship between a limited population and an overly broad control area cannot be resolved in a short time.
Moreover, it will take enough time for the Uchiha clan to digest Kirigakure, and it will take even more time to train the new generation of Kirigakure ninjas and integrate them into the shogunate's system.
"time……"
Uchiha Tokko felt a little headache.
Although he has time, the most precious thing is time.
Moreover, Uchiha Madara, who was seriously injured and escaped, has never seen anyone dead or dead. The Kannabi Bridge and other related areas in the memory of his previous life have been secretly searched several times by the Uchiha Ninja Army, but they have not found even a little bit of clues. I don’t know where Uchiha Madara’s secret base is hidden.
Moreover, after experiencing the effects of the "sacred particles" extracted from White Zetsu cells at a high concentration, Uchiha Tokumitsu wanted more!
Moreover, if other Uchiha clan members can also receive part of the "sacred particles" injection, then the overall strength of the Uchiha clan will increase exponentially!
It's just that the problem is that the Bai Zetsu that have been captured has been exhausted. Whether this precious strategic resource can find a new source channel, this gives Uchiha Tokko a very headache.
"Shortcuts are always full of luck..."
After Uchiha Tokko's thoughts wandered for a while, he slowly shook his head and abandoned all kinds of unrealistic ideas.
After briefly gathering the documents on the table, Uchiha Tokumitsu stood up and prepared to go to the training ground for self-cultivation.
"Ninja~ You still have to rely on self-preservation..."
