In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

However, under the influence of Kotoamatsukami, Danzo completely revered Yoriichi as an absolute deity, and had no ulterior motives in front of Yoriichi.

"I've been busy deciding on the symbol for the Hidden Shadows Village lately. It's perfect timing that you're here, Kenshin. Come and help me see which one is suitable." Danzo turned the slip of paper in his hand over, so that the front was facing Yoriichi.

Yoriichi stepped forward, and Deidara and the others behind him followed suit.

It was only then that Danzo noticed the group, and he asked them with some confusion.

Who are these people?

"Remember when I was looking for people a while ago? These are the ninjas I found with excellent potential, the kind of people who will be the backbone of our Yin Village in the future." Yoriichi didn't hold back in praising them.

Deidara and the others immediately laughed triumphantly, while Zabuza coughed twice with an air of arrogance.

"It's alright," Zabuza said.

"Who asked you?" Shuiyue smiled speechlessly from the side.

Danzo's confusion dissipated, and he nodded gently.

Yorimitsu looked at the several sheets of white paper that Danzo handed over. They had several different designs printed on them. Apart from the initial draft and the headband in the shape of the music of the Sound Village that Orochimaru used, there were also headbands with three horizontal lines added to the original headband, black square designs, bird wings, and silver spiral hurricane designs.

Yoriichi gently flipped through a few sheets of white paper. Deidara and the others behind him nodded in unison. Apart from the black square pattern, the other headbands were all quite well-designed, with a great sense of design and aesthetics.

Suddenly, a distinctive headband pattern caught Yoriichi's attention.

Those were two intersecting double-curved blades, resembling the afterimages of two opposing katanas being drawn from their sheaths, with subtle flowing water-like ripples in the middle, giving a sense of swiftness and efficiency.

“I think this is good.” Yoriichi then pointed out this manuscript and handed it to Danzo.

"Eye-catching, complete with all the elements, yet not chaotic, giving people a very... neat feeling."

Danzo took the manuscript, looked at it again and again, and then nodded.

"It's really quite good."

"Then let's stick with this!" Danzo immediately decided to make the Twin-Arch Blade the new headband for the Hidden Shadow Village.

The onlookers were immediately stunned. They never expected that Shimura Danzo, the shadow of the underworld, would listen to Yoriichi so readily. Normal leaders would suppress their employees, at least to maintain their dignity...

Danzo Shimura did not appear to be a kind person, yet he so readily listened to and agreed with Yoriichi's words.

Everyone looked at Yoriichi and silently gave him a thumbs up.

Not only is he exceptionally capable, but he also has remarkable political skills—it's insane!

Yoriichi was unaware of what the others were thinking; he smiled at Danzo.

"How about we name this headband 'Arc Light Katana Shadow'?"

Chapter 82 Treat your subordinates well.

"Alright, let's call it that!" Danzo didn't object at all and immediately stamped the draft.

This instantly shocked everyone standing to the side.

"This went way too smoothly..."

"Shigaraki Tanuki, Shigaraki Tanuki!" Danzo called out loudly.

"Lord Danzo, I'm here!" Shigaraki Tanuki immediately pushed open the door and entered.

Danzo handed the manuscript to Shigaraki Tanuki.

"We've decided on this design for the headband. It'll be called 'Arc Light Katana Shadow.' Send it to the technical department for mass production immediately."

"Yes!"

Holding the manuscript, Xin Leli quickly stepped out of the shadowy office and jogged towards the door.

The office fell silent again.

"By the way, Orochimaru, isn't he here?" Yoriichi asked first, staring intently at Danzo from behind his mask.

"He went to the Land of Wind, supposedly related to his experiments, but... he'll be back tomorrow," Danzo replied.

"Alright, I'll go see him again tomorrow," Yoriichi murmured. He still needed Orochimaru's permission to release Jugo.

Jugo's cursed seal is extremely powerful, a power that Orochimaru values ​​highly. Borrowing it wouldn't be easy, let alone taking it away directly. Orochimaru would probably be furious by then.

Yoriichi was always on edge. The current situation was beset by internal and external troubles. Yoriichi did not fully trust Orochimaru. After his rampage in Konoha, Konoha would definitely strengthen its defenses against him, and if necessary, they might even strike first.

Yoriichi's face darkened. He wasn't entirely confident of defeating Konoha, and Konoha wasn't entirely confident of defeating Kagehira on Kagehira's territory, unless... they allied with another country.

As one of the Five Great Nations, Konoha possesses considerable social influence, making it highly likely that it will unite with other major powers.

This was a very troublesome matter. Yoriichi had already thought about this problem when he returned to Yinyin Village and flew on the back of a bird.

He came up with countless solutions, one of which was related to Jugo: to have Orochimaru mass-produce the cursed seal to greatly enhance the strength of the ninjas.

However, this comes with great risks. Not to mention that Orochimaru can indirectly control those with the cursed seal and use them for his own purposes, the consequences would be extremely serious if they betrayed him.

Another point is that the survival rate of cursed seals is currently very low. People who are marked with cursed seals are very likely to die directly. If it were to be applied to ninjas, there would probably be countless deaths and injuries, directly reducing the strength of the entire ninja force.

When Yoriichi thought about this, he was very troubled, thinking that such a plan was absolutely impossible. But soon, he thought of another plan that could perfectly fit into the current plan.

That is—artificial humans.

By finding the scientist Amado through Feather, and then having Amado devote himself to the research of the cursed seal, the two of them greatly reduced the side effects of the cursed seal. Amado then mass-produced androids and applied the power of the cursed seal to the androids. In an instant, the Shadow Village would gain an extremely powerful army of undead!

The androids are already incredibly powerful, far surpassing the so-called White Zetsu. If they were to unleash the power of the cursed seal, it would be simply unbelievable!

This will directly elevate Yinyin Village to the ranks of new powerful nations; this is the power of science.

However, all of this is just a plan at the moment. Finding Amado will still require some effort. Yoriichi carefully considered the plan in his mind.

He decided to put this plan on the agenda and named it the "Cursed Seal Legion Plan".

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Are there any extra dorm rooms available?" Yoriichi asked.

“Yes,” Danzo said. “There are still empty seats in the upper echelons of the Root. You can go and stay there.” Danzo called out to the people behind Yoriichi, then looked at Yoriichi.

"Kenshin, you can live in the dormitory in the shadows."

"Well...no need, I'll just stay with them..." Yoriichi smiled politely.

Kotoamatsukami is truly effective, directly causing Danzo to reach such a level with himself.

Suigetsu and the others behind him were completely dumbfounded. If they didn't know Yoriichi's identity, they might even suspect that Shimura Danzo was gay because he liked Yoriichi.

Yoriichi made the shadow give way to him; who else could do that!

While feeling proud, Mizuki also felt a pang of resentment. He was furious when he thought about how Mizukage had treated his meritorious brother, Hozuki Mangetsu.

The Shadow Kingdom treats its meritorious officials so well, but when they arrive in the Land of Water, they engage in internal strife and political infighting.

"It's truly rotten to the core," Shuiyue thought to herself, mocking the Land of Water.

Yoriichi then headed outside, but before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask:

"I also want to build a ninja school. Let's make arrangements for that later."

"Okay." Danzo agreed without hesitation. Without even thinking, he picked up a pen and wrote down the words "build a ninja academy" on a piece of paper.

Kisame smacked his lips, unable to suppress a sigh of emotion.

"The execution efficiency and the emotional value they provide are just too high; it gives me peace of mind..."

Thinking of his former boss, Kisame couldn't help but sigh. Back then, during the war, even Suigetsu Touki could delay the entire country for his own benefit. But in peacetime, the Shadow of Kagekage Village worked diligently, always thinking about the village and the country, doing whatever was needed, and managing countless affairs every day.

"There's really no comparison." Kisame shook his head slightly, his heart filled with anticipation for the future once again.

As Yoriichi once said, there would be no war or ninjas, and everyone could live peacefully and have a bright future.

Next, Danzo handed over a map of the entire village and its markings to Yoriichi. This map was originally given to him by Orochimaru to help him quickly familiarize himself with the village's layout and terrain. Now that Danzo was already familiar with the village's layout and terrain, he no longer needed the map, so handing it over to Yoriichi was just right.

Using the map, Yoriichi and the others easily found the location of the Root organization's high-ranking members' dormitory, and Yoriichi entered with the key.

Then the keys were distributed one by one. This high-rise dormitory was the highest standard in the entire Yin Yin Village. There were still many empty seats, and there was more than enough room for each of Yoriichi and the others.

After settling in, Yoriichi asked Danzo for some currency that belonged exclusively to the Inagakure Village. He then distributed the currency to his subordinates, instructing them to buy their own daily necessities.

This reminded Yoriichi of his days living in a dormitory in the previous world, where he had to prepare his own money to buy his own daily necessities. Yoriichi clicked his tongue.

To be honest, he felt a little nostalgic.

In today's world, money is plentiful, and the standard of living is naturally different from back then. Although resources are not as readily available in the Naruto world as they are in the real world, most things are already available, so there is actually no inconvenience.

Aside from the lack of air conditioning...

However, these are high-level positions that the former rogue ninja, who were once adrift and displaced, could not access, and this kind of life will only get better and better once the funds from the Hidden Shadow Village arrive.

Yuan Yi smiled; his subordinates needed to have good living conditions.

Yoriichi watched as Deidara and the others went out to pick things in high spirits. Deidara took young Karin with him, Kisame took Suigetsu, and Zabuza and Haku went out together.

At this moment, Yoriichi realized that the feathers located in the Root organization had not yet received the currency and the key, so he began to take action.

With a single step, he stepped out of the dormitory and flew in a phantom toward the Root organization's location. Although Lingyu had not fully accepted him yet, she was still his subordinate.

Treat your subordinates well...

Chapter 83 Chongwu

Time flies. In the quiet, dark night, a slender figure moves nimbly among the houses in Yinyin Village. He has a pair of extremely imposing golden vertical pupils, and his gaze is fixed on a low building, which is his laboratory.

The laboratory is located in a relatively suburban area, far away from residential areas. Although it looks ordinary and low, it actually has a huge interior space, with the main space located in the basement below ground.

Orochimaru exhaled a breath of stale air, his figure as swift as a slithering snake, and leaped down from the room, verifying his identity before entering the laboratory.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he reached out and spat out an iron sword into the distance. His body then shed its skin and rushed forward, wielding the iron sword to slash at a dark figure in the distance.

"Clang!" The dark figure blocked Orochimaru's attack with his sword. Immediately afterward, a strange light flashed on the sword, instantly illuminating the dark laboratory interior. The dark figure swung the sword, forcing Orochimaru back. Then, the light gradually illuminated the dark figure's face.

Yoriichi, wearing a mask and holding the Kusanagi sword, appeared before Orochimaru.

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then gave a meaningful smile, and his hoarse voice rang out.

"came back?"

"Hmm." Yoriichi took off the brim of his hat, revealing his dry, black hair.

"I need you to do something for me," Yoriichi asked directly without offering any further greetings.

"Oh? What brings you here?" Orochimaru asked. "I just got back. The experiment... I'll deal with that another day. I need to rest tonight..."
