He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

Isogen was not surprised by Orochimaru's sudden change in attitude.

Even ninjas need to eat, and Orochimaru is a researcher. This thing is a money-devouring beast, and it often only takes in and doesn't give out. Even if it does give out, it's a special piece of equipment that can't be used to make money among the common people.

He doesn't have any ill feelings towards the current Orochimaru. Putting aside the evil scientist image of him who defected and caused trouble after the original work, the current Orochimaru is still a good young man infected by the Will of Fire.

Well, it got a little contaminated after staying at the root for a while.

But it doesn't matter, Orochimaru is still a malleable young man at this time.

It's such a pity that Orochimaru fell into such a deep abyss because of the Hokage position; his talent should have benefited the whole world!

It's absolutely not that he wanted to unleash his Will of Conqueror to show Orochimaru how a mere Fire Will could compare to even a fraction of the Will of Conqueror. No, absolutely not!

Okay, that's him.

He had already planned to ruthlessly exploit Orochimaru, making him strive for a happy, carefree, and high-quality life without limits.

Rather than Orochimaru who is constantly running around the world and could pop up at any time, it's better to have Orochimaru by my side so that I can always feel his will of conquest.

"You should stay at the root and wait. I will contact you when the time is right."

Orochimaru was about to nod when he suddenly realized something.

No, who are you? I am the Hokage's disciple, the nominal deputy of Root, and the future Fourth Hokage. Why should I listen to you?

"I made over 200 million in one afternoon," Isugen said calmly. "The six people who went with me each received 20 million, and Tsunade, who came in later, received 30 million. I even gave that much to my temporary teammates, so those who followed me will only get more."

"Don't let your limited perspective restrict your imagination, you poor wretch."

Orochimaru was moved.

Although being a poor ghost doesn't sound good, it's over two hundred million! If I had that much money, would I still care about Danzo?

Teachers had to coax them into investing money in Konoha Construction.

Moreover, it turns out Tsunade also got a share of the money, 30 million yen, which was wasted on her gambling.

"Ahem, we'll talk about that later. If you're able, we'll meet again." Completely unconcerned about the disrespect in Igarashi's tone towards his senior, Orochimaru prepared to investigate the amount he mentioned.

Wu Shixian chuckled, "If you take my money, you'll be my slave in the future."

Shortly after Igarashi left, the Anbu and Root members who rushed to the scene were shocked by the horrific sight before them.

Such a horrific explosion scene! Just how many detonating tags did the enemy use?

The ANBU ninjas were puzzled as to why there was a base here, and why Lord Orochimaru was here as well.

Just as Danzo arrived at the scene under the protection of his subordinates, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot when he saw the mess. He immediately spotted Orochimaru, who was watching the commotion.

"Orochimaru, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Shouldn't I be the one demanding an explanation?" Orochimaru remained unfazed, observing coldly.

"Your subordinates were in charge of the base's defense, while I was only responsible for research. But it seems your defense work was inadequate. My recently completed research and the research data stored at this base have been completely destroyed. You need to give me a reasonable explanation and compensation for this."

"You! Hmph!" Danzo glared angrily, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

After all, strictly speaking, he was in the wrong in this matter.

He was so frustrated!

That is, he looked away in frustration and didn't see the smile that appeared in Orochimaru's eyes.

To be honest, he somewhat understood how Yu Ge of the Fifty Strings felt when she first faced him.

Whether he enjoys it or not, he's happy to see Danzo get his comeuppance.

Just then.

An ANBU member approached Danzo and said, "Lord Danzo, the Hokage requests your presence at the Hokage Building."

Danzo's face turned ashen, and he snorted coldly, "I understand."

P.S.: It's a new month, please support me, everyone! Just a click of my little hand, or I'll send you anything you like. Little Red Kite has a good appetite and isn't picky about food.

Chapter 57 Rolling Eyes

Konoha experienced a night filled with tension and fear.

As is well known, most of the time, Gojūgen only cares about killing and not burying.

Anyway, Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi are best buddies, so this incident just means that Hiruzen Sarutobi has a slightly stricter control over Danzo.

As for how painful this so-called "little bit" was for Danzo, that was not something Ichigen needed to consider.

He was only concerned about whether the control was too lenient and not befitting Danzo's status.

Wuxian happily sipped his warm milk, his toes dangling in the air.

There was no way around it, even though he slapped the Jonin Uchiha, captured the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, verbally insulted Orochimaru, and precisely destroyed the Root base.

None of this changes the fact that he is just a child.

Hmm, let's find a few more nobles to give us some sword music, then have Orochimaru investigate Danzo's Sharingan stash, and find some Uchiha to stockpile high-quality explosive tags, so we can try to send Danzo away in one fell swoop.

Wouldn't it be too easy for him to get rid of them all at once?

Perhaps we should find an opportunity to breed him. After all, Danzo's genes must be quite good, since he was valued and taken in as a disciple by Tobirama Senju. The ninja dogs they create might be enough to form a Paw Patrol.

Breakfast time at the Senju House is peaceful.

Mito Uzumaki, who gets up early for the elderly, looks at Kushina Uzumaki, who is still half asleep and has messy hair, and Yuuka Igarashi, who is sitting next to her in a good mood, with a kind expression.

"Eat more to replenish your energy and you'll have plenty of vitality."

Meanwhile, inside the sealed space, the nine-tailed fox, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, bared its teeth.

"Mito Uzumaki, you've seen how monstrous this kid is, and you still dare to encourage him? Aren't you afraid he'll tear this village down one day?"

He also witnessed part of the process from Mito Uzumaki's perspective.

The violent explosion that shook the leaves could be felt by anyone who wasn't in a vegetative state.

No, you're ignoring such a dangerous little brat, but you're taking care of a fox like me who's dozing off deep in the mountains?

Even if I complain to the Six Paths Old Man, I'm in the right, okay?

Mito Uzumaki calmly took a sip of matcha.

Yes, drinking matcha first thing in the morning is a wonderful thing.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's Roar?

Well, foxes are canines after all, so it's understandable that they can be a little mischievous sometimes.

"Wow~~ What delicious food is there?" Tsunade, who got up later than a child, walked over with a completely relaxed expression.

Kushina rolled her eyes at Tsunade, who looked as relaxed as a homeless person.

Now, Tsunade's mature and composed image has completely collapsed in front of the children.

"A glass of hot milk."

Under Kushina's incredulous gaze, Isogen handed Tsunade a cup of hot milk.

Mito Uzumaki glanced at it.

Taking the milk, Tsunade took a big gulp and patted her full chest with satisfaction.

"Phew, that kid's pretty sensible, I approve of you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she instantly sobered up and chuckled, "So, any thoughts on going out today?"

"Ahem, let's eat."

Mito Uzumaki coughed lightly, issuing a warning.

Tsunade shrank her neck and obediently picked up a piece of tamagoyaki and put it in her mouth.

Silently, she rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Lady Tsunade, even I can see through your thoughts.

Is that what you call caring about someone?

You're just greedy for other people's money and want them to help you make money. You're despicable!

Just then, Tsunade made a questioning sound, picked up another piece of tamagoyaki, and put it in her mouth.

Chew, chew, chew.

"This tamagoyaki has no flavor."

Kushina blinked and said instinctively, "No way, I just ate a piece."

Tsunade was suspicious; it just didn't taste like anything.

Suddenly, she realized something and stared at the half-empty milk.

Her intuition told her...

"Taste is the enemy of weight loss, you're welcome." Wu Zixian said, drinking milk in a gentle tone.

Tsunade suddenly realized, her eyes widened, and anger surged.

"You wicked brat!"

Splash!

Tsunade was bound in golden locks.

Mito Uzumaki said calmly, "You're such a grown-up, why are you arguing with a child? Go on, catch up on the lessons you've missed. Mute."

"To!"

"Keep an eye on her, and tell me if she dares to run away."

"Yes!"

Shizune was overjoyed.

She had suffered under Tsunade's thumb for a long time.

What normal person would take a little girl who can't even get into a ninja academy to a smoky casino?
