Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 103: They only lost half of the Sarutobi clan.

After separating from Tsunade, Orochimaru dispelled his disguise technique.

Having secretly collected Orochimaru's chakra, Awei used a disguise technique, and Tsunade didn't notice.

"Now that I have the IOUs, the next step is to collect the debt." Looking at the stack of IOUs in his hand, Awei muttered to himself.

Several IOUs were issued, totaling 3.5 million taels, to be paid to Kakuzu next month.

What's left is an astonishing figure.

So……

Next, let's contact Orochimaru!
Orochimaru is still short of money, after all, he needs to do a lot of research.

In addition, Orochimaru and Danzo have some connection.

Once these IOUs are in Orochimaru's hands, he can contact Danzo, who will surely be happy to help collect the debts.

Of course, Ah Wei was particular about his actions and would also share some with Orochimaru.

Turning the numbers on the IOU into real money would be difficult for Awei on his own, but with Orochimaru and Danzo's help, it would be a different story.

To find Orochimaru, Ah Wei could either ask Pain for help or seek out Black Zetsu.

All official members of the Akatsuki organization have special rings. As long as they are wearing the rings, Pain can contact them even if they are far away or even if there are barriers.

Black Zetsu possesses a wealth of information, which may include details about Orochimaru's whereabouts.

As for having Ah Wei come to find Orochimaru himself, it's anyone's guess how long that will take.

After thinking about it for a while, Ah Wei decided to trouble Payne instead!

Chakra was channeled into the 'Azure Dragon' ring he was wearing.

Ah Wei: Boss, are you there? Please reply if you receive this.

After a moment, the ring reacted and became slightly warm.

Pain (Nagato): Ao? What do you want?

Ah Wei: I need to contact Orochimaru. Please help me get in touch with him as soon as possible. The location is... a stone bridge 270 miles west of the Fire Temple. That's it.

……

Rain Village, top floor of the tower.

Changmen, sitting in his wheelchair, turned pale.

Xiao Nan wasn't around; he was all alone.

He was as thin as ever, his red hair was somewhat disheveled, and black chakra rods were stuck in his back.

What does Ah Wei take him for?

Well, that guy is a member of Akatsuki after all, so I'll tolerate him this time.

At that moment, Nagato contacted Orochimaru... about the ring.

……

In a dark corner of the ninja world, Orochimaru licked his lips.

The guy codenamed 'Azure Dragon' wants to see him? What could it be about?

Anyway, there's nothing urgent right now, so I don't mind going to see them.

270 ri west of the Fire Temple? Stone Bridge?

It's not far from here; I can get there in an hour.

As he pondered this, Orochimaru continued on his way.

With his body forward, arms swinging back, chakra gathering at the soles of his feet, he leaps into the air, occasionally teleporting, his speed far exceeding what ordinary people can imagine.

About an hour later, Orochimaru also saw a stone bridge.

Ah Wei sat on the bridgehead, swinging his legs, watching the fish struggling in the river below.

Thanks to Awei's ninjutsu, a small whirlpool appeared in the river below, and a fish struggled in the whirlpool but could not escape.

When Orochimaru was still dozens of miles away, Awei sensed it.

White Zetsu's senses are incredibly powerful, and Ah Wei isn't just any ordinary White Zetsu.

If Awei were to use his full sensory power, the range could cover hundreds of miles.

Soon after, Orochimaru appeared behind Awei, and the small whirlpool in the river under the bridge disappeared. Awei stood up and turned to look at Orochimaru.

"What brings you here?" Orochimaru asked without beating around the bush.

To be honest, Ah Wei didn't expect Orochimaru to arrive so quickly. He thought he would have to wait for half a day, or even longer.

If things don't go as planned, Orochimaru might be conducting an important experiment and wouldn't be able to get away for a few days.

"Orochimaru, actually I admire you quite a bit," Awei said with a smile.

This is also true.

Throughout the Naruto world, some believe in bloodlines, some believe in spirit, some believe in the body, some believe in innate inheritance, and some believe in hard work. Only Orochimaru believes in science.

It's no exaggeration to say that Orochimaru alone could drive a leap forward in the world's technological level.

"Oh? It's an honor!" Orochimaru said with a forced smile.

"Take a look at these IOUs first." As he spoke, Awei took out a stack of IOUs and showed them to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru glanced at it, but his expression turned strange.

An IOU written by Tsunade? That's not surprising, but what's with making the Sarutobi clan pay it back?
Tsunade's surname isn't Sarutobi!

Besides, who else but the old man can represent the Sarutobi clan?
Even the old man's son, Asma, isn't qualified!
After taking the IOU and glancing at it, Orochimaru laughed and said, "Tsunade has only lost half of the Sarutobi clan!"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Awei was quite surprised.

Half of the Sarutobi clan?
It seems the Sarutobi clan is even wealthier than I imagined!
"Take these IOUs and come to collect the debt. After you've done it, I'll give you 10%, how about it?" Ah Wei didn't probe any further and directly offered his price.

Based solely on these IOUs written by Tsunade, it's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to take half of the Sarutobi clan's wealth. Orochimaru wouldn't have accepted it without offering him some benefits.

“I want 40%,” Orochimaru said calmly.

“60% is a bit low for me,” Awei frowned.

“No, you also get 40%, and the other 20% goes to the Kage. It won’t be easy to get the money with just these IOUs; the Kage will need to put in a lot of effort,” Orochimaru said with a smile.

From Orochimaru's eyes, it was clear that there was no room for negotiation.

"...Then it's a pleasure to cooperate." Ah Wei didn't care too much about money; a little less wouldn't bother him.

With ample funding, Orochimaru could conduct more research, and perhaps in the future...

……

Konoha, Hokage Building.

Danzo barged directly into the Hokage's office.

The third generation, who was using his telescope to spy on the village women's bathhouse, was startled and quickly hid the crystal ball on the table.

"Danzo, you should knock on the door next time you come," the Third Hokage said with displeasure.

"Hiruzen, there are some debts that you need to settle," Danzo said to the Third Hokage with a half-smile.

Third generation: ? ? ?
debt?

Then, Danzo slowly placed the IOUs one by one on the table in front of the Third Hokage.

When the Third Hokage saw that all the IOUs were signed by Tsunade, his eyes widened and his lips twitched.

"Tsunade wrote an IOU that I demanded the Sarutobi clan... pay back?"

What's the point of this?
"Hiruzen, I've already sent someone to find Tsunade and told her not to do it again, but this time, you should still pay off her debt!" Danzo said calmly.

The third generation glanced at the IOUs, the numbers on them making his old eyes dizzy.

Although the Sarutobi clan was able to repay this huge debt, it almost emptied their coffers.

It is intriguing that these IOUs ended up in Danzo's hands.

Danzo also made it clear that if the Third Hokage didn't help Tsunade pay off her debts, he would have to bear all the consequences.

At this moment, Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu also rushed over.

Danzo sent someone to invite them.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were unaware of the situation and were completely dumbfounded when they saw the IOUs on the Hokage's desk.

Tsunade owes Sarutobi a debt, which he must repay?

And these IOUs were produced by Danzo...

This is extraordinary!
