"What about the progress of the Ten-Tails and the feasibility of putting it into actual combat?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto Yakushi naturally knew Orochimaru's stronghold and location. At this time, they were in a dark underground base.

The pale-skinned man with long hair curled his lips and looked at the subordinate in front of him with interest.

A long time ago, when he discovered Yakushi Kabuto, he took a fancy to his talent and spent some time and energy to conquer this subordinate. Even though Orochimaru did not think that the other party would be 100% loyal to him.

Like those children who have been raised since childhood, but...

"It's such a shame. I thought you and I would get along very well, Kabuto."

It was not a question of loyalty or not, but Orochimaru sensed some "talents" similar to his own in Yakushi Kabuto, which made him feel that at least in terms of research, they would definitely have a common goal and direction, and then he should be

The target that Kabuto chases.

Even he didn't expect that a person with Kabuto Yakushi's personality would betray him because of such an boring question. He must at least have a higher ideal pursuit, right?

Orochimaru always felt a little disappointed.

"It's not that you, Orochimaru-sama, need to be the one who stands out. After all, that would be too unsafe for you. You just need to cooperate with the Akatsuki organization and release some of the existing technologies so that they can use it. Take advantage of it.

You can also test the research results with this opportunity, right?"

"Is this your proposal?"

"That's true, but the leader thinks you are a rare scientific research talent and doesn't want you to be harmed."

Kabuto Yakushi said this very sincerely. He indeed respected Orochimaru very much. It could even be said that he worshiped Orochimaru. For him, even though Orochimaru-sama has not yet reached the level of Xinyang, he is definitely a guide on the road to research.

Mentor, goal.

When he heard that Hanami Akira hoped to use Orochimaru's research to cause trouble, Yakushi Kabuto was worried about the life safety of his teacher - although Orochimaru-sama was cautious enough, but to Hanami Akira-sama...

Kabuto Yakushi thought of the other party's terrifying strength and shook his head inwardly.

In terms of scientific research ability, Yakushi Kabuto is confident that Orochimaru-sama is the number one, but if it is a competition in terms of hard power, I am afraid that even ten Orochimaru cannot defeat Hanami Akira. Moreover, if Hanami Akira really decides to

If he acts cruelly, Orochimaru-sama may be in trouble.

Fortunately, having followed Hanami Akira for a long time, and having hooked up during the Chunin Exam, he knew that Hanami Akira actually valued "technical talents" very much, so he put forward some small suggestions and expressed his enthusiasm.

Fortunately it was accepted.

"And the leader also said that after the plan is over, you can go home openly and have more research resources and sites..."

"Chief? Can you still make such a promise..." Orochimaru pondered for a moment and nodded thoughtfully, "I see, is he the one you are loyal to now?"

"..."

Sorry, Orochimaru-sama, although I still admire you very much in my heart, but... Hanami Akira-sama, he has given you too much!

Thinking of Yakushi Nonou's survival, and the future happy life in Konoha with his dear dean, as well as the lovely brothers and sisters in the orphanage, Yakushi Kabuto felt that his aching conscience was not at all.

It hurts.

"Ahem, Lord Orochimaru, what do you think of this proposal?"

"The so-called experimental products cannot be known until they are put into use."

Orochimaru nodded noncommittally. In fact, even if Yakushi Kabuto didn't say anything, he would put this batch of experimental products into use sooner or later.

Of course, given his character, it is impossible for him to be mass-produced in one fell swoop. It will only be a small-scale experiment, but now...

Orochimaru glanced at the bunch of "little monsters" he had cloned, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"It would be nice to do a large-scale experiment once in a while."

"Great, it seems you have reached a consensus."

Hua Jianming's figure appeared in the room. He saw the two people's stiffness at that moment and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, we are one of our own."

"..."

"..."

Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto looked at the sudden appearance of the figure in silence, feeling a little subtle in their hearts - at this time, Hanami Akira was still holding several strings of three-color meatballs in his hands, and his leisurely attitude seemed not to come to negotiate, but to watch something.

It's like a good show.

In fact, Akira Hanami did appear here after listening for a while.

It wasn't because he was spying on Yakushi Kabuto or because he was afraid of Orochimaru, he was just too lazy to talk, so he planned to wait for others to explain before coming out to say hello or something.

"Although the three-color meatballs taste good, you will still get tired of them if you eat them too much. I'll just share them with you." Akira Hanami stuffed the remaining three-color meatballs into the hands of Yakushi Kabuto and Orochimaru, and said with a smile,

"It's just a bit cold. It's not as delicious as the hot freshly made food. Moreover, the environment is not very good. It's not as beautiful as Konoha. If you want to enjoy the best delicious food, it's better to go home."

"If it's really that good."

Orochimaru clenched the three-color meatball in his hand and watched Hanami Akira's figure disappear again, but he did not dare to take it lightly, because just now he had no idea when the person appeared or what he was about.

When the time came, I came to him and stuffed the food into my hands.

Even if the other person said goodbye and disappeared from his sight, Orochimaru was not sure whether that person was really gone.

For a person like him who is vigilant and suspicious, cautious and sensitive, this is like a sharp blade floating behind his invisible back, making him restless.

What's more, the other party really meant to let him return to Konoha just now, right? Then, will the other party still hide and observe him secretly?

If he shows resistance or disgust now, will he be attacked and killed by a sneak attack?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Orochimaru rarely feels a sense of depression and urgency in his heart. Even if he is confident that he has backup plans and can be resurrected even if he dies, who wants to die for no reason?

What's more, he is not sure whether the other party has any special sealing methods.

"To be able to work safely in the hands of such a person... Kabuto, I have to say, I am impressed by you."

Orochimaru glanced at Yakushi Kabuto. He felt that the other person's nerves and vigilance should be as good as his. Can his nerves really bear the burden of working under such an elusive guy?

"Ah, anyway, a hundred, a thousand, even tens of thousands of them I can't cause harm to the leader."

Pharmacist Kabuto showed a free and easy smile, or rather, a smile that could be laughed at.

"Then it doesn't matter what happens, right? Chief, he can do whatever he wants. Anyway, I can't take out the palm of his hand, not to mention he is good against his subordinates."

"..."

So, why does it sound so reasonable?

Orochimaru, who was just thinking about how to be more vigilant against Akira Hanami, suddenly got stuck in his thoughts - it seemed that this was true. If Akira Hanami really wanted to kill him, even he wouldn't be able to escape, at least he would have to leave several lives behind.

.

So, why are you still so tired? Isn’t it better to lie flat?

Uncle Snake's eyes were confused for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. No matter what, the "strongest" person came to recruit him so that he could not remain unmoved.

"I agreed to this proposal. However, when I betrayed the Akatsuki organization before, I was very unhappy with them."

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi. Even though the ninja world itself was full of betrayals, and he had never invested new trust in each other, this guy's betrayal still made him a little unhappy, so...

"If you leave, I won't have anyone who is smart and articulate enough to serve as a front and negotiate with the Xiaoen organization."

Yakushi Kabuto: "I understand, I'll go..."

After a small "punishment" of Orochimaru in the pharmacist's pocket to calm down his mood, he was about to go back to rest and sort out his thoughts, but he was shocked to find that at some point, a stack of what looked like...

Something like a secret file.

After checking that there were no poisons or other traps, Orochimaru sent a shadow clone to open the file, his expression gradually becoming subtle.

Those are two documents.

One is a letter of assignment, which states that Orochimaru, the former Jounin of Konoha, accepted a confidential S-class latent mission. The other is a letter of appointment, appointing undercover Jounin Orochimaru to serve as the dean of the Academy of Sciences.

"This is really an incredible temptation!"

Orochimaru once resolutely left Konoha, which he thought was a constraint, for his own ideals, and abandoned his two best friends. Even at the weddings of those two best friends, he only felt some sadness and emotion, but

Not much regret or desire to go back.

but now……

Orochimaru looked at the various equipment concepts and funding budgets in the Academy of Sciences, and slowly went out again.

It's not that he has no spine, but Hana Jianming... gave him too much!
