Chapter 425: Invitation
BangγThe door was pushed open.,Obito rushed into the room and sat next to Jie: "JieγAre you looking for me?" β
"Well, there's something I need your help with."
Obito's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest: "Things that can make you feel tricky........ What is it? β
"Go to the Treasury and help me steal something, with your kaleidoscope ability, it's very easy."
"I see, what's that? How much will you go? β
"A bill, do it tonight, at that time, Watergate may also make a move, so you don't have to get it, you should watch a play, if Watergate fails, you can do it."
"Teacher Watergate is also going to make a move? Bill! Is it the most boiling high-level corruption case? β
Jie was stunned: "High-level corruption? Where did you hear that? β
"Don't you know? It is said that the reason why the allocation of funds in the village has not been implemented is not because of the economic imbalance caused by the excessive development of armaments, but because some high-level officials have swallowed up most of the public funds for personal gain. β
Mind eyes moved: "There is such a thing?" Do you know where it came from? β
"I don't know, it seems to have something to do with the Ministry of Finance, you know.......... The average person would not dare to discuss this kind of topic casually. β
"How........ Is there something strange about it? Do you need me to look into it for you? β
"Forget it, you don't have to pay attention to this matter, go back and prepare, and concentrate on tonight is the biggest help for me." Jie waved his hand back and frowned into deep thought.
He didn't want to be involved in all this in the Ministry of Finance, but now he seems to have found something unusual.
I don't know who exactly this is for, but it definitely wasn't leaked unintentionally.
After thinking about it, Jie threw this matter to a farewell for the time being, no matter who this pot would end up on, it had nothing to do with him.
He hasn't been in the village for the past three years, and no matter how he frames him, he will never be involved, which is well known among the high-level people, and no one will think of throwing the blame at him.
NightγBasement of the Ministry of Finance building
Large squares of bluestone masonry are neatly displayed on both sides of the floor, and old-fashioned lights are hung every ten meters in the dimly lit corridor, which gives people an eerie and mysterious feeling with the cold and damp atmosphere.
There was a clatter, a rush of footsteps, and two black objects flashed down the hallway like ghosts in a speeding motion.
"This is it, we only have half an hour, so we have to be fast."
In front of the iron door, the two talked briefly, and without hesitation, they dodged into the secret vault.
The huge warehouse room is densely packed with files.
Due to disrepair, the shelves on which the dossiers were placed looked crumbling, and even the labels written next to the shelves were tattered and blurred.
The two of them glanced around with some headaches, pondered for a while, and said in unison: "Separate to find." β
In an alley not far from the Ministry of Finance, Watergate stood motionless in the corner with a timer, waiting for the time to come.
After about ten minutes, he leaned down slightly and placed the timer in the corner of the wall, and disappeared in an instant.
As soon as his figure disappeared, a head popped out of the wall.
Obito curiously squatted in front of the timer and looked at it, as if he didn't understand, and picked up a branch and tossed around with it a few times, and only after finding that there was nothing special did he re-enter the wall and quickly shuttle towards the vault.
Time flowed, and it wasn't until late at night that Obito quietly appeared in the house.
Sensing the smell of the earth, Jie slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Done?" β
"That's it! The place was huge, full of messy materials, and the two guys didn't seem to be able to stay long, so they searched for about half an hour before leaving. β
"Leaving Mr. Watergate alone inside, if I hadn't been smart and secretly helped Mr. Watergate, it is estimated that he would not be able to find it for a night."
Jie touched his nose and was a little puzzled: "Are you sure it's hard to find?" Isn't that thing in a conspicuous place? β
Obito gave him a strange look: "Why do you ask?" β
Jie shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just a little conjecture, according to my guess, that thing shouldn't be too secretive." β
The leader touched his head, carefully recalled it a few times and denied it: "You guessed wrong, that little book is very secret, if I hadn't inadvertently passed through the wall, unless they dug up the whole place, I would never have found it." β
"That's right." Jie looked at him and nodded: "By the way, you weren't discovered by Watergate, right?" β
Obito was a little dissatisfied: "Of course not, with my strength, even you don't want to find my flaws easily, let alone Teacher Watergate." β
"It's good if you don't, help me pay more attention to the rumors of your administration department these days, and if there are any unusual rumors, remember to notify me in time."
Obito nodded confusedly, not intending to ask more.
The next morning, as soon as Jie finished washing, Liaoyuan sent him an invitation letter.
"Minister, Orochimaru invites you to go for tea."
"Tea tasting......... Orochimaru's invitation! Jie accepted the invitation, and a strange look appeared on his face, shouldn't it be a visit to the laboratory, how could it be a tea tasting or morning tea ...........
After thinking about it, he changed his clothes and slowly walked towards the big snake's house.
High-level ninjas are not short of money, especially high-level ninjas in important positions, they only need to deduct more fingernails from the appropriation to spend the whole day drinking, eating, drinking and having fun.
Ninjas are also human beings, they also have seven emotions and six desires, and they also love money, and even most ninjas run around between life and death just to earn a living.
In this way, corruption naturally becomes a dirty thing that ninjas cannot avoid.
Orochimaru's house doesn't look luxurious, it can even be said to be extremely simple, a simple small courtyard with a two-story small bamboo building towering inside.
But from the outside, it feels a little elegant and indifferent.
But this does not mean that Orochimaru is not greedy, it can only be said that he has used all the money he has embezzled elsewhere.
At least as far as you know, those large and small equipment and instruments are not bought by a few high-level ninjas.
There are no guards in the courtyard, and compared to the other courtyard where you know the house of the powerful at a glance, Orochimaru is not the slightest bit forced, and it is extremely low-key.
Straight into the courtyard, Orochimaru was wearing a simple kimono and holding a shower to water the flowers on the bluestone platform in the small garden.
It's just a big man who is feminine, and he likes flowers and plants, to be honest, looking at this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was a little disdainful.
"Jiejun is here, it's rare to welcome distinguished guests in this small place, and it's a great honor." Orochimaru turned his head and smiled at him, and gently placed the shower on the stone platform.
Jie said hypocritically: "I dare not be honored, I am just an ordinary ninja, but a senior........ As a famous big man, there is still this kind of Yaxing. β
"Big shot!" The corners of Orochimaru's mouth hooked, and Yin smiled faintly: "Ten years ago, Jiejun was just a little genius of Uchiha who was not yet ten years old. β
"At that time....... Even if there are many people who are sure that you will be excellent in the future, they would never have imagined that in just ten years, you have become a famous and powerful person in the ninja world, not only with great prestige and power, but also as the heir to the next Hokage by default. β
