I sell sweets in Konoha

And most of them are ordinary tools with average loyalty, average qualifications, and low potential.

There are many such tools and they can be discarded or used for other purposes at any time.

So this kind of tool also has a special term to describe it.

'cannon fodder'.

If Orochimaru's subordinates are divided according to his own level, the original five Sound Ninjas and the current four Sound Ninjas are naturally excellent cannon fodder and excellent tools.

They are the best beings who have been carefully selected by themselves and selected through various selections.

but...

Tools are always just tools.

So Orochimaru sometimes really doesn't understand people's hearts...

"What is this?" Tayuya was not curious about the food box on the table, because there was nothing curious about it.The smell coming out of it is really tempting.

But suddenly bringing something so tempting is definitely the kind of person with bad intentions.

Weasel wishes you a happy New Year without bringing you something good...

"You pretty boy." Tayuya said with a poisonous and uneducated mouth: "You suddenly brought such a thing, do you have any crooked ideas?"

"You have to know that not many people here respect you, a kid like you!"

"pocket."

Pharmacist pocket.

Er Wu Zai, or the most professional spy.It looks good, but the name may not be very good.Everyone loves and hates spies because they bring information to them and also steal it.

Especially for a guy like Kabuto who jumps repeatedly in different camps.

Naturally, it won't leave a good reputation.

And his relationship with the four sound ninjas is not good either.

"This is a gift, a very special gift." Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said, "And I came here this time not to quarrel with you, nor to listen to your cynicism here."

"Although I came here with a purpose, but before talking about the purpose, how about we take a look at the gift first?"

"I believe that this gift I bring will satisfy all of you."

Kabuto didn't intend to argue. These four people were important and unimportant.But for him, if he succeeds, it may give him more opportunities.

"What is it?" Jirobo asked a little helplessly: "It smells so good."

It smelled so good, it was so fragrant that everyone in the room couldn't help it.Such a fragrant thing will definitely be delicious, even better than the reward given by Orochimaru-sama!

"This is the finest food from the Leaf Village." Kabuto opened the food boxes one by one and said, "This is the food cooked by the Fifth Hokage himself."

"There are not many people in the entire ninja world who can enjoy such delicacies. Lord Orochimaru has eaten this kind of food."

"But it's a pity he never shared it with you."

"I am lucky enough to share this with you recently."

"You think..." Tayuya originally wanted to make a sarcastic comment.

She had heard of the Fifth Hokage's craftsmanship.At first, he always laughed at a cook who could become Hokage. Konoha Village has really fallen.I want to watch Orochimaru heroically kill the Fifth Hokage and the old and weak Third Hokage easily.

The result was that Orochimaru was poisoned by the Fifth Hokage and was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

This is just a bit...

Shameful...

Tayuya wanted to ridicule Kabuto and show his loyalty.

but...

"It's delicious!" Jirobo, the greediest person, couldn't help but pick up a large piece of meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. The next second, there seemed to be a blush on his cheeks and said: "Oh, this is really worthy of it." He is the best chef in the ninja world!"

"This feeling is beyond imagination. The meat is so well cooked!"

"Although I don't know what kind of meat this is, the way it is made is absolutely amazing!" Jirobo couldn't help but praise: "The salt is delicious but not overly salty. The meat is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is soft and dry at the same time. It is full of umami flavor. And the gravy is delicious.”

"Oh~ this feels so good."

Great, this looks like it should be a special piece of meat that is marinated in salt and seasonings and then deep fried. It is so delicious.

"This dish is called salt and pepper snake meat." Kabuto introduced: "It is a simple dish, but it also tests the chef's skills. The snake meat is sliced ​​and fried in a pan."

"Fry until golden brown, then heat oil and continue frying."

“It’s really not easy to have a crispy texture while maintaining the toughness of snake meat.”

It is indeed a little difficult to cook, but with Junko as a chef, this dish is still quite perfect.

As soon as Kabuto blurted out this, everyone in the room became indifferent. Even Jirobo, the greediest person, put down his chopsticks and stepped back slightly, as if to clearly distinguish himself from Kabuto.

"What do you mean?" Onimarudo said with a little murderous intent in his voice: "Kabuto, what are you thinking about?"

Snake meat, snake!

Everyone knows the characteristics of Orochimaru. This snake-like guy is cold-blooded and ruthless. He even transformed his body to look like a snake.

Psychic beast or snake.

Eating snake meat here is simply...

Outrageous!

"This is no ordinary snake." Kabuto said without seeming to mind, "This is the meat taken from the three snakes that were killed during the previous attack on Konoha."

"It has been cooked by five generations of adults. It is great and very precious."

It was indeed too expensive. Some people were afraid to eat it and even wanted to kill the guy in front of them.

At this time, it was Orochimaru-sama's psychic beast that sent snake meat.

Is this guy trying to test their loyalty?

"Don't rush to do it." Kabuto sat down and said without any sign of wanting to fight. He even picked up his chopsticks as if he wanted to have lunch with the four of them: "Sometimes, fighting can't solve the problem. "

"Even if you kill me, it won't help. After all, the outcome is determined here."

"You guy..." Tayuya seemed to want to curse.

"Slow down! Tayuya." Onimarudou seemed to realize something. He always felt that Kabuto had something in his words.But now it seems that his purpose is very obvious.

"Listen to what he says. It won't be too late to kill him after he finishes speaking."

"Maybe you won't decide to kill me after I finish talking." Kabuto took a bite of the snake meat and said, "It's really delicious."

"If you want to eat it often, I can show you a clear way."

"Of course, if you just want to eat plain food, you can't even eat that."

"It will be implemented soon."

As a ninja village in a small country, the living environment of Oto Ninja Village is not as superior as that of Konoha.The usual food is naturally very average, although it is much better than the civilians in Tian Country.

But it can’t compare to Konoha Village!

"What exactly do you want to say?" Tayuya asked.

"Are you still planning to be a tool?" Kabuto wiped his mouth and said, "Orochimaru has the same view on everyone here, that is, they are 'tools'."

"There is no distinction between high and low, only whether it is easy to use or not, whether it is easy to use or not, and whether it has more use value."

“If you have something, keep using it. If you don’t have it, squeeze out the last value and throw it away.”

"Orochimaru will not cry for any of you." Kabuto said, "Because he doesn't pay attention to any of you at all."

"You are just tools, better tools, useful tools that stand out from ordinary people."

"That's how we are like today."

“But tools are tools after all and can be abandoned at any time.”

"Are you here to be a lobbyist for the Fifth Hokage?" Sakon said coldly: "Spies are indeed a bunch of unreliable guys."

"Of course not." Kabuto immediately denied: "I am here to arrange a way out for myself. I am already very loyal to Lord Orochimaru. But I will be abandoned at any time."

"I followed Lord Orochimaru to find Tsunade for the antidote, but I was almost sacrificed to Wanzi."

"People like me who can be around Orochimaru are almost gone."

"Do you think you can do better?" Kabuto said sarcastically: "Maybe you feel good about yourself and think you can be better than me."

"But let me tell you the truth, no!"

"Orochimaru is cultivating you carefully, but for Orochimaru, it is just a tool for screening."

"At the same time, we are just preparing a container for the next reincarnation."

"That's your fate. You will be abandoned at any time, or be swallowed by Orochimaru and become the container of his soul."

"Of course you have a chance to change that."

"Such as sending your bastard's head up there?" Tayuya had already begun to prepare the ninjutsu.

"No." Kabuto stood up without any fear, put his hands in his pockets and said, "By the way, let me tell you something. Orochimaru's base is made up of these types of people."

"Brainless, die-hard loser, undercover agent and guinea pig."

"You might as well look at the snake meat on the table and take a guess."

"Which kind of person among these three types of people~"

"It's the most!"

Extra ·Old friends, stories, hometown

"If heaven has feelings, it will also grow old, and the right path in the world will be vicissitudes of life."

"I don't know what the right path is."

"I know you, old man, have been sleeping for too long!"

Danzo sat at the head of Sandai's hospital bed and sighed slightly.

The third generation, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was once a teammate in the same class, was once the apprentice of the second generation, was once a member of the Hokage Elite Guard, and also survived several ninja wars and witnessed the most powerful force in Konoha. Two shadows of old people.

In his heart, Danzo was truly a special person.

He is his friend and his enemy, the one who once supported the branches of the big tree, and the one who hindered him from ascending to the position of Hokage that he longed for.

An enemy, a friend, a competitor, the person who can never break up with you.

I am your shadow and you are the one who walks in the sunshine in my place.

We are all on the same road, but in different places.

No one can live without the other, but there is always some distance between them.

Now seeing these three generations lying in critical condition on the hospital bed, Danzo really felt a little uncomfortable.

"I don't know what 'the right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life' but I know that everything is for Konoha..." Danzo muttered in a low voice: "Everything is for Konoha..."

Danzo muttered in a low voice, this sentence is his own creed and respect for the third generation.Everything is for Konoha, for a better future, and to protect the ideal hometown in the hearts of the first and second generation adults.Although what he did in the end looked funny.

But anyone who can risk his life to protect Konoha will be respected by Danzo.

Because these people are heroes!

"It's the same technique as the Fourth Generation..." Danzo sighed and said, "You old man, why can't you just hand these over to young people with confidence like me?"

"I understand, are you worried about following the same path as that girl Junko and that boy Minato?"

But the third generation retired and the fourth generation took office.

Before the youngest Hokage had time to realize his ambition, he left on the night of the Nine-Tails because of the sealing of the Nine-Tails.This may be a difficult hurdle for the three generations to overcome.

For Konoha, the youngest and most promising Hokage gave his precious life.

And now...

"Hey..." Danzo was helpless, he couldn't possibly blame anything.

Accused the third generation of not judging the situation well, abusing forbidden techniques and so on.

Because in that situation, being besieged by the previous Hokage and not having the best means to break it, if he had been present, he might have used these life-for-life methods.
