"You're finally here."

Orochimaru's tone was a little impatient.

He has been spending half a month like a year, looking forward to the arrival of Natsume every day.

As a scientist, he has a strong desire to learn.

Kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is a completely new field.

Naturally, he wanted to understand.

"I'm glad you're not dead yet."

Natsume sat down casually, drank a cup of tea, and said, "It tastes weird, let's buy some good tea next time." ”

If you can talk, you can talk more.

Orochimaru tugged at the corners of his mouth, he had a request, he could only pretend not to hear, he asked, "How to get the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye?" ”

"Trading, the emphasis is on equivalent exchange."

Natsume didn't answer directly, but smiled and asked, "What about the intercolumnar cells I want?" ”

"It's already there."

Orochimaru's snake pupil turned around and said, "I can hand it over to you now." ”

Natsume has always used a wooden clone.

But after the wooden clone is lifted, things will not follow back, so the wood clone will inevitably return to the body.

As long as Orochimaru operates it properly, he will be able to touch the identity of this mysterious person.

Natsume could certainly guess what he was thinking.

It was for this reason that he had a headache about how to trade before.

But now there is a way.

After he took control of Gunma Corporation, he received nearly 100 million taels in cash.

This is the income of casinos and underground banks for more than a decade.

Aside from expenses and real estate, there is already a lot of liquid money that can be used.

Natsume plans to hire a ninja to save Kaopho's mother and daughter.

In today's ninja world, apart from the five major villages, who is the most powerful?

That's right, it's it, that's it, our villain, the Akake organization.

Some people may say that the organization is more dangerous and there is a possibility of overturning.

But now is the early stage of the organization, the stage of accumulating funds.

There are two ways for them to make money, taking tasks and offering head bounties.

The latter, don't talk about it yet.

The former means that the Xiao organization has become a hiring organization.

And the most important thing about employment is credit.

If you kill your employer and are passed out, then you will lose your credibility and no one will give you a task.

No matter how stupid the organization is, it will not break the rules during this time period.

In other words, as long as they give money, they can be trusted.

Orochimaru wants to be tempted, so let's give you two members of the Xiao Organization, and let you test it casually.

"Don't worry, I'm just a doppelganger. I'll let you know in two days. ”

Natsume waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "You can make a deal with the members of our organization." ”

"No problem."

Orochimaru nodded.

Even if you can't see Natsume's main body, it's the same if you can get in touch with the members of his organization.

With his ability, as long as he gets the slightest clue, he is confident that he can follow the vine and completely uncover this mysterious organization.

"I'll give you one more piece of advice."

Natsume looked at him with meaningful eyes, "If you want to make a move and take enough measures to save your life, they are not as easy to talk as I am." ”

Déjà vu.

Orochimaru's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he turned into a nameless anger.

This guy is too arrogant!

I can't beat the kaleidoscope writing wheel, can't I beat your men?

Do you think I picked up the name of the three ninjas?

"Then let's move on to the kaleidoscope writing wheel."

Natsume changed the subject, and Orochimaru paused, revealing anticipation.

"The Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye is an advanced step from the Three Hooks Jade Writing Wheel Eye."

"Doesn't that mean that the Uchiha clan has a lot of kaleidoscope writing wheels?"

Orochimaru couldn't help it and interjected.

In his opinion, Uchiha Shisui is certainly a genius, but before him, there were also many Uchiha geniuses.

After so many years, there should be more than a pair of eyes.

"How can it be so simple? The eye-opener must possess great talent and unusual circumstances, both of which are indispensable. ”

Natsume held up three fingers and said, "So far, it's only three people." Madara Uchiha, Uchiha Shisui, and the mysterious man who controls the Nine-Tails. ”

Actually, it's more than that.

For example, Izuna Uchiha also has it.

Orochimaru's heart was shocked.

Really.

He had long suspected that it was impossible for an ordinary three-hooked jade writing wheel eye to control the Nine-Tails.

"Who is this mysterious man? Is it also from the Uchiha clan? ”

Orochimaru knows a lot about the members of the Uchiha clan.

But for more than ten years, I have never heard of any extraordinary genius.

Before the Uchiha stopped the water, the most famous genius was Uchiha Fugaku.

But he was indecisive and could not have done such a thing.

And after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan was in an even more difficult situation.

Uchiha Fugaku doesn't ask for trouble.

"That's the other price."

Natsume said with a smile.

The news that the mysterious man is Uchiha Obito tells Orochimaru that it doesn't make much sense.

He doesn't get much value.

Orochimaru's face suddenly turned ugly, and his pants were taken off, you told me this?

"What's the price?"

He thinks he has a bit of money to spare.

However, he also understands that Natsume is not short of money, and what he exchanges must be precious.

"You can't afford to pay the price."

Natsume ignored his gloomy expression and continued, "Uchiha Shisui, you've already fought with him, and you know that it's impossible to get his eyes. ”

Although Orochimaru was unhappy, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

He looked at Natsume, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Can your organization help me take the eyes of the Uchiha Shisui?" ”

"Again, you can't afford to pay the price."

Natsume shook his head and asked rhetorically, "And if you really got it, why should I give it to you such a good thing?" ”

Orochimaru was silent.

If Natsume doesn't make a move, he can't do it by himself, unless he pulls in Ape Fei Ri Chop, Jiraiya and others.

But even if they were really willing to help, after seeing the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye, they would never let him enjoy it alone, but would go to Konoha.

At this time, the Xiao organization is not particularly famous, and they are wandering ninjas, not ninjas from the five major villages.

Naturally, Orochimaru didn't care, so he didn't know about their existence.

"Well, it's not that there is no way."

Natsume's voice changed and he said, "After our organization's investigation, we have discovered another Uchiha genius, who has a great possibility of awakening the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye. What's more, you can easily get him, it depends on whether you have enough patience? ”

Orochimaru immediately couldn't hold back his joy and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Patience, he is more.

If the corpse is not reincarnated, he has infinite life.

"Itachi Uchiha."

Natsume said the name of his tablemate.

Orochimaru was stunned for a few seconds before remembering who he was.

The eldest son of Uchiha Fugaku.

The main thing is that now Uchiha Itachi is only six years old, and his fame has not yet spread, and Orochimaru is not impressed by him.

"Uchiha Itachi's talent is no less than that of Uchiha Shisui."

Natsume chuckled lightly and suggested, "But he is the son of the Uchiha patriarch, and he has a close relationship with the Uchiha Shisui, so you have to act quickly, and if you are late, you will change." ”

Orochimaru nodded.

He was already smart, so he knew how difficult it was.

Now the Uchiha clan and Konoha are very nervous.

He went to Uchiha Fugaku, and most likely he would return with a feather.

Orochimaru quickly thought of a way, but as soon as he looked up, Natsume's clone had been lifted.

He still has a problem, and he can only give up now.

The next day.

Orochimaru came to the Hokage's office.

"Orochimaru?"

Sarutobi Slash showed a surprised expression.

Rare guest.

Since the end of the Third Ninja War, Orochimaru has become a complete otaku.

I don't do any tasks, I stay at home every day, and I don't know what to do.

Sarutobi Hizashi knew early on that Orochimaru and Shimura Danzou were the same kind of people, and their hearts were not right, so they were not suitable to be Hokage.

However, the two of them are strong, which is beneficial to Konoha, so he will turn a blind eye.

As long as they don't betray.

Ninjas, ruthless, thinking problems, how normal.

"I'm going to take in the apprentices."

Orochimaru got straight to the point and said.

Ape Fei Ri was slightly stunned.

What's going on?

The front foot Tsunade just accepted an apprentice, and you also want to accept an apprentice on the back foot?

"How do you think of taking in apprentices?" Sarutobi asked.

Orochimaru's last apprentice was still a rope tree.

It's just that after he died, there was only one Mitarai sweet potato left, oh no, red beans.

"It's nothing, the experiment is short of people, find two apprentices."

Orochimaru's answer was very casual, but it was in line with his character.

Ape Fei Ri asked, "Who do you have a crush on?" ”

"There is no goal for the time being."

Orochimaru naturally didn't want him to notice it, and said, "I'm going to choose two good students in the ninja school. ”

"No problem."

Sarutobi completely dispelled his doubts and said, "I'll let the ninja school hold an exam, and you can choose when the time comes." ”

He is nominally the headmaster of the ninja school.

But after he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of someone.

Itachi Uchiha.

The reason why he was impressed was because he was the son of Uchiha Fugaku, and he was extremely talented, and he was number one in school.

If Orochimaru takes him as an apprentice, there may be unexpected benefits.

In the original work, Uchiha Fugaku sent Uchiha Itachi into the shadows as a spy.

But the ape flew to the sun and didn't know.

Judging from the current situation, Uchiha Fugaku would not want Uchiha Itachi to become a descendant of the Hokage.

Because the Uchiha clan had just relocated, it was the time of anger.

But the Great Snake Pill accepts apprentices, the procedure is legal, and it is justified.

Sarutobi Hizashi thinks that the inclusion of Uchiha Itachi in the Hokage's lineage may mean that it is another Uchiha Shisui.

"Orochimaru, I remember that Fugaku's son, Uchiha Itachi, has a good talent, you can take him as an apprentice."

"I'll think about it."

At first, Orochimaru thought that he had exposed his target, but after thinking about it, he understood the abacus of the ape flying sun.

The Uchiha clan is currently very difficult to deal with.

Sarutobi inherited the soft side of the teacher's thousand hands, and planned to break through from the inside, bringing Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi under his command, and then slowly trying to figure it out.

Shimura Danzou carried out the hard side, intending to uproot the Uchiha clan.

Midday.

Ninja School.

Year 1 Class A.

Naoto Yamanaka walked into the classroom and said, "Students, great news, one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru-sama, will come to the school in the afternoon to select apprentices, and each of you has a chance!" ”

The classroom burst into jubilation.

Sanninja has a very high status in their hearts.

You must know that the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate are also one of the three ninjas, and Jiraiya's apprentice.

If they become Orochimaru's apprentices, wouldn't they be the same brothers as the four generations of Hokage?

Although Orochimaru is usually cold, he is strong, has outstanding performance, and has a lot of diehard fans.

And the civilian ninja, joining the Hokage's lineage, is undoubtedly soaring into the sky.

So their excitement is normal.

Natsume, who was by the window in the back row, was a little unexpected.

Is this actually the way to accept apprentices?

But when you think about it, it's very smart.

Even the Uchiha didn't have anything to say.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Uchiha Itachi's talent is too prominent.

"I wonder how the clone is doing now?"

Natsume wasn't interested in Orochimaru's apprenticeship, he was more concerned about the wooden clone in Short Book Street.

Ninjas, who normally take on the task, are through the ninja village.

Unofficial channels are the underground black market.

Here, there are all kinds of unworthy tasks and head bounties.

For example, the ape flying Asma, which is known as the unit of measurement of the Hokage, is thirty-five million taels.

Don't underestimate this price, it's already very high.

The average Shangnin is not worth so much money at all, and it would be nice to have a few million.

After all, under normal circumstances, the most difficult S-class ninja mission starts with a million taels.

There is no underground black market in Konoha Village, but there is one in Short Book Street.

Natsume inquired about the specific location through the connections of Gunma Company.

In the morning, let the wooden clone rush over to see the situation.

A fairly ordinary Japanese-style double-storey wooden house.

Natsume opened the door, and she was greeted by various counters.

It's kind of like a quest lobby in a game or anime.

"Guest, are you picking up the task, or are you posting the task?"

The young man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties behind the window asked politely.

Publish Task.

"Please fill out the form."

"I'm having a difficult task, so I'd like to ask, what are the recommended ninjas? Be reputable. ”

Natsume casually shoved it into his hand and gave him a thousand taels.

"You're asking the right question!"

The young man suddenly laughed and said, "Let me tell you, about a few months ago, several very powerful ninjas suddenly appeared, specializing in difficult tasks and bounties, and they have never missed a beat. ”

"Oh?"

Natsume showed an interested expression and asked, "What's it called?" ”

"They use code names, and all I know is that one of them is called Kakuto." The youth replied.

"Okay, then I'll assign them to the task."

Natsume said with a grin.

Tasks can be assigned, but at a higher price.

"Guest, please wait."

The young man hurriedly explained, "They have a rule, if you want to appoint them, the reward must be at least one million taels. ”

"Little things."

Natsume didn't care and said, "I'll pay two million taels." ”

The young man suddenly felt blinded by money.

He released the task at breakneck speed.

[S-Class Mission: Go to Caoyin Village to rescue two people and bring them to Short Book Street.] 】

[Reward: Two million taels, designated horns and jade.] 】

[Note: After taking over the task, within five days, meet with the employer in front of the Winter Snow Casino at 7 a.m. on July 7.] 】

Winter Snow Casino,It's a casino that Natsume is looking for.。

If you put it in Gunma Casino, it will inevitably be risky.

The wooden clone was lifted, and Natsume of the main body knew the relevant situation.

Next, it depends on whether the organization is willing to take on the task.

But he probably would.

Now the Xiao organization is quite short of money.

Afternoon.

Orochimaru arrives.

All the students were called to the playground to assemble.

Natsume is no exception.
