Uchiha's opinion

Chapter 212 Fork and Tear

Chapter 212 Fork and Tear

In broad daylight, Orochimaru not only visits openly, but also asks people to report inquiries in a polite manner, which is really not in line with his character.

In the past, even if he asked Uchiha Deguang for sponsorship, Orochimaru would come secretly at night, for fear that others, especially his teacher, would know that the two were colluding secretly.

The poisonous snakes looking for food in the dark openly wandered out of their caves. Either the caves where they hid were destroyed, or they got shelter that was more effective than burrows...

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly picked up a pen and paper, quickly wrote down a few addresses, and called in an attendant ninja to whisper instructions to him.

Hatake Sakumo was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Mr. Deguang..."

Just as the attendant ninja opened the door and was about to leave, Orochimaru walked in at the same time: "Sakumo-kun is here too."

"Long time no see, Mr. Orochimaru."

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded slightly, and pointed to the sofa beside him, but he didn't get up to greet him.

He felt that there must be nothing good about Orochimaru's visit in broad daylight.

Hatake Sakumo is also a bit strange, because he has rarely seen Orochimaru going out during the day, especially in a sensitive department like the police department.

"Long time no see, Mr. Deguang seems to have a good thing coming soon."

Orochimaru also noticed very keenly the ring on Uchiha Tokumitsu's left middle finger.

"If Mr. Orochimaru is free, I will send an invitation to your laboratory."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said thoughtfully.

Orochimaru's face twitched, and it was a little hard to stretch.

After the yin and yang confrontation, Orochimaru also sat down, and without much nonsense, he took out a scroll and handed it to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Uchiha Tokumitsu opened it casually and began to read.

Although in the description of the research results, Orochimaru is a bit different from the research report written by the Uzumaki researcher who was required by Uchiha Tokumitsu, and it is relatively ninja-world-specific, Uchiha Tokumitsu still understands it.

"not simple……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was amazed, and expressed his admiration for Orochimaru's research level: "That little money can produce such high-quality results, it is really worth it~"

Compared with the Uzumaki researcher under Uchiha Tokumitsu, it is indeed a judgment.

Especially in terms of cost-efficiency control, the Vortex Research Institute is simply a complete mess.

Orochimaru smiled proudly, his face was very happy.

He also knew that Uchiha Tokumitsu had mobilized members of the Uzumaki Clan to set up a secret laboratory, and the experimental equipment he needed to purchase had been cut off by the wealthy Uchiha many times at a high price, causing his experiment process to be delayed a lot .

But the pride from the bottom of his heart made him look down on other scientific researchers in the ninja world. Even if the research institute invested by the Uchiha giants with money, he only regards it as a lost gold plaything for a dude.

"I think... Mr. Oshemaru should have other ideas this time, right?"

After getting a general understanding of the research report, Tokumitsu Uchiha put away the scroll and said to Orochimaru: "It shouldn't be as simple as just continuing to solicit sponsorship?"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed suddenly, and a fierce light appeared in the vertical pupils.

Hatake Sakumo's expression also changed slightly.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly froze.

Hatake Sakumo's eyes wandered back and forth between Uchiha Tokumitsu and Orochimaru, his left hand naturally hung down towards the inside of the sofa, and his fingers gently tapped the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Don't be nervous, we don't want to openly attack a Jnin with great military exploits in this kind of place, do we?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled and said, "What is Mr. Orochimaru's specific intention, why don't you tell me~"

"...The cooperation of the laboratory is hereby terminated."

Orochimaru said slowly: "...As for those boys who served as experimental assistants, I have already sent them back to Uchiha's clan."

"Termination of cooperation? What a pity..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu pretended to sigh: "With Mr. Orochimaru's scientific research level and the Uchiha family's financial resources, it is a big loss for Konoha to stop cooperating so hastily~"

After finishing speaking, Tokumitsu Uchiha threw the scroll to Sakumo Hatake.

Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a moment, then opened and flipped through it on the spot.

Orochimaru's nose fluttered slightly, and he had a new understanding of the close relationship between the two allies.

"...I already know."

Orochimaru didn't mean to hide it, and said bluntly: "Mr. Sarutobi intends to directly invest in my laboratory, so it is inappropriate to cooperate with the Uchiha clan."

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was also a little surprised.

I didn't expect Orochimaru to have such a sincere side, which made Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was full of weird words, unable to answer.

"That's really a pity... Originally, I wanted to sponsor Mr. Orochimaru to explore the mystery of longevity~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed a little, "But since Hokage-sama is destined, the Uchiha clan can't directly contend, can't they~"

Hatake Sakumo, who was reading the contents of the scroll, couldn't help laughing.

Orochimaru's face twitched slightly.

The so-called no way to directly contend... Does it mean that you are ready to stumble secretly?
"Since Hokage-sama directly came down to set up the laboratory, there is no reason for the police department to stop it. Please rest assured on this point..."

Uchiha Toku just took a look at Hatake Sakumo, a fun guy, and said leisurely: "But after all, the police department is Konoha's last barrier and shoulders the responsibility of protecting Konoha villagers, so please also keep the new laboratory away from residents. Areas and traffic lines, strict laboratory safety protection, and no leakage of dangerous substances, so as not to cause adverse effects on the physical and mental health of Muye villagers..."

Following Uchiha Tokumitsu's series of clichés, Orochimaru's frown became tighter and tighter.

But from a literal point of view, although Uchiha Tokumitsu's words are warning, there is no obvious intention of retaliation.

Just why does it sound so weird...

Orochimaru didn't answer, Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to talk.

Hatake Sakumo, who was flipping through the scroll, automatically filtered out Uchiha Tokumitsu's nonsense. In his eyes, this is just an inexplicable quirk of Uchiha Tokumitsu, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

It's just that the contents recorded on the scroll really amazed him, an elite jnin.

Although Hatake Sakumo is considered to be the best in the application of Chakra, he can't use such clear words to describe the application skills of Chakra in different environments and different ninjutsu.

In short, Orochimaru almost single-handedly established a standard dictionary of chakra applications.

Although it may not be suitable for everyone, it can definitely save the vast majority of people from taking many detours.

This is especially true for ninjas at the Chunin level.

"...Mr. Shuo Mao, what do you think?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu, who finally finished talking nonsense, took a sip of water and turned to look at Hatake Sakumo.

"I think it's very good and should be supported."

Hatake Sakumo didn't raise his head.

"Hmm~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, turned his head and looked at Orochimaru with a stiff face again: "Okay, the police department has these requirements, and I also ask Orochimaru Jonin to pay attention to the principle of confidentiality when setting up laboratories at that time, and don't let the police department Found something wrong~"

In Dashewan's mind, apart from the stinky and long nonsense just now, there are only two words——

Long live!

These two words seem to have a different kind of charm, which has shaken Orochimaru, who was originally focused on exploring the mysteries of ninjutsu.

"If longevity can be achieved, wouldn't it be better to pursue and explore the mysteries of all ninjutsu in the world?"

An inexplicable light flickered in Orochimaru's vertical pupils.

"so be it!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's words interrupted Orochimaru's contemplation, "I am very satisfied with Orochimaru Jominin's 'homework', although it is a pity that Orochimaru Jominin chose to terminate the cooperation, but since it has been decided, although I also It's a pity, but I can only accept it with regret..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu made a gesture of invitation towards the door.

Orochimaru was no longer entangled, and nodded slightly, then got up and left.

After Orochimaru left, Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at the door of the office in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

"Longevity..."

While reading the contents of the scroll, Hatake Sakumo said to Uchiha Tokumitsu, "Do you think Orochimaru will take the bait?"

"What are you talking about~ I'm not fishing."

Tokumitsu Uchiha chuckled, and denied it flatly: "It's just that I mentioned the research direction of the Uzumaki Research Institute to Orochimaru by the way."

"Maybe……"

Hatake Sakumo briefly echoed: "Speaking of which, this research report is really good..."

"It's a pity, our Hokage-sama has already discovered that, no matter whether Orochimaru is willing or not, the cooperation with him can only be terminated..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said quietly.

"The last interest connection with Hokage is broken..."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Hatake Sakumo didn't believe that Tokumitsu Uchiha would be so talkative, "But let's talk about it first, don't make too much noise and cause the situation to slip to the brink of civil war. It's not as good as me."

"I am going to expand the business volume of Nanhechuan Stock Exchange..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu touched his chin, "Then the shogunate is going to issue some gold coupons..."

"what?!"

Hatake Sakumo was a little taken aback.

This has nothing to do with dealing with the laboratories of the Hokage series, right?

Uchiha Tokumitsu did not explain, but continued to talk nonsense with Hatake Sakumo.

……

After leaving the police department, Orochimaru walked slowly on Konoha Avenue.

Although the sun was shining brightly and the commercial street was bustling with people coming and going, for some reason, Orochimaru always felt that he was a bit out of place with the familiar scene in front of him.

"Everyone is avoiding me..."

As soon as the eyeballs rolled, Orochimaru also reacted.

Orochimaru walking in the middle of the road was like a watershed, dividing the crowd that flowed like a tide, and no one dared to approach him within five meters.

Even the ninjas from the police department just stood on the roof and watched silently with their swords in their hands, without any intention of coming over to restore order.

"It's ironic..."

Orochimaru suddenly felt an indescribable feeling, with mixed feelings in his heart.

In all fairness, can someone like me really gain the support of the villagers and become the next generation of Hokage?

"Teacher Sarutobi..."

Immediately, Orochimaru cast the instant body technique and left.

Immediately, the crowd on the street returned to normal.

……

"Knock knock!"

There was another knock on the door of the Hokage Office in the Hokage Building.

"come in!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who was full of spirit, shouted.

"Teacher, I'm back."

The expressionless Orochimaru pushed the door open and entered.

"Thanks a lot……"

The benevolent third Sarutobi Hirzen took out his pipe and took a good puff.

"How is it? Is everything going well?"

"Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't say much."

Orochimaru replied sternly.

"It's fine, I will transfer the funds to you as soon as possible..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the third generation, nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "What is his laboratory researching? Do you know anything about it?"

"...Longevity."

Orochimaru hesitated for a moment, then replied softly.

 Ask for a ticket~
