After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chapter 149 3 years

Orochimaru never expected that he would suddenly encounter Phoenix Temple Chiba in his own core stronghold area.

He had just heard about Chiba's achievements—breaking the Root of the Tongue Disaster, seizing the Root's weakness so that Tsunade could seize power, and forcing Danzo to flee to another place.

Danzo has always been a major pest in Konoha.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, the only person who probably thought Danzo wasn't a pest was his incompetent teacher.

This made Orochimaru suspect that Chiba had come to him to get rid of him, a sinner of Konoha.

Judging from her conversation with Sasuke, Phoenix Temple Chiba seems indifferent to him. Can a person's attitude be so changeable?

"Tsk, a woman who's turned into an eel!"

Orochimaru clicked his tongue in annoyance, completely forgetting that he had been a woman not long ago.

Ultimately, would Orochimaru, who normally only seeks scientific truth, really launch the Konoha Crush Plan simply because he couldn't bear to see his former mentor grow old and because he wanted to show off his Reanimation Jutsu?

That's a matter of opinion.

Looking at Phoenix Temple Chiba in front of him, Orochimaru took a deep breath to calm himself and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing?" Looking at the nervous Orochimaru, Chiyu smiled: "You're probably one of the smartest people in the ninja world, why don't you guess?"

"Guess?" Orochimaru paused for a moment.

He then took a good look at Qianyu and found that she was just crossing her arms and looking relaxed, not like she was there to cause trouble.

Orochimaru's expression relaxed slightly, but his words remained sharp: "I won't guess. Following others' lead is a major taboo in negotiation. Let's get to the point. If there's nothing else, Sasuke-kun is waiting for me!"

"Or rather, you came here to see Sasuke?"

"Uh, no need for that." Qianyu's face stiffened, and she said with an awkward smile, "Why don't you deal with Sasuke's matter first? I can wait."

"Oh?" Orochimaru narrowed his golden snake eyes as if he had seen something strange, and made some guesses in his mind.

The image of Tsunade from the past flashed before my eyes.

Experience told him that if Qianyu didn't want to mention it, then it was best not to.

But experience also told him that Qianyu's visit to him this time might not be a bad thing.

Orochimaru then openly summoned Kabuto Yakushi.

Upon seeing Kabuto Yakushi after so long, Chiyu's gaze flickered. She remembered that during the pursuit battle, wasn't Kabuto Yakushi listed as a serious criminal and placed under strict surveillance by Tsunade? Has he come out again?

"It's been a long time, Lord Chiyu. You seem quite surprised by my appearance?"

Noticing Chiyu's gaze, Kabuto smiled and said, "You needn't be surprised, because Lady Tsunade is merciful!"

"Is that so?" Chiyu looked at Orochimaru: "Tell me, what's the price?"

She didn't believe the part about Tsunade being kind. Tsunade was indeed kind, but she was never lacking in ruthlessness.

Tsunade only kept Kabuto Yakushi in Konoha Hospital as a slave until he died. Kabuto's release must have been due to a deal between Orochimaru and Tsunade.

"It's nothing much, just all the data I have on human modification, bloodline limits, and medical ninjutsu," Orochimaru said casually.

Hearing his words, Qianyu was also slightly surprised.

After all, Orochimaru's human modification skills are unique in the entire ninja world. As for medical ninjutsu, Orochimaru is not as good as Tsunade, but he has no bottom line, not to mention he also has a bloodline limit.

Orochimaru is certainly willing to spend money on talent, given that he was willing to exchange so many things for Kabuto.

Of course, in Orochimaru's eyes, what he discovered might not be that valuable?

But for Yakushi Kabuto, who was willing to spend a fortune to buy a horse's bones, this was clearly enough.

Chiyu glanced at Kabuto Yakushi, whose face was full of pride and who clearly wished he could die for Orochimaru at any moment, and shook his head.

Subsequently, under Orochimaru's orders, Kabuto Yakushi temporarily replaced him to continue Sasuke's training.

Meanwhile, Chiyu and Orochimaru went to a reception room in the base to sit down for a while.

Looking at the rather exquisite and elegant reception room, Qianyu said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to prepare something like this."

"Hehe!" Orochimaru chuckled lightly: "Occasionally... I mean, when it comes to attracting investment, it's still necessary. Besides, existence itself has value. See, isn't this where it comes in handy?"

With that, Orochimaru smoothly poured a cup of hot tea for Chiba: "I think it's about time we got down to business, isn't it?"

“That’s true!” Chiyu nodded. “Then let’s get straight to the point, Orochimaru. I’m here to make a deal with you! I need a ride to Ryuchi Cave, and the Empty Ring you brought from Akatsuki.”

"As for the reward, use this!" Qianyu unsealed a bunch of scrolls from his ring, piling them up all over the table.

Of course, the scroll was only what the viewers in the live stream saw.

In reality, what Qianyu gave was a book.

On the cover of the book at the very top of the stack of books, the words "Mathematics," "Physics," and "Biology" are prominently displayed.

"A book?" Orochimaru was clearly surprised to see that the reward Chiba was offering was a book.

To be honest, he didn't really think that Qianyu could provide him with anything new or interesting. Anyway, helping her would make Qianyu owe him a favor, and that was enough. So he didn't focus on the book and turned his attention to other things instead.

"You want the Empty Chen Ring? You've joined Akatsuki? And Ryuchi Cave... are you planning to cultivate Sage Mode?"

“Yes, I think Akatsuki is quite interesting!” Chiyu admitted directly: “There’s also Sage Mode. Information about Sage Mode is only available in the three great holy lands. I don’t really want to get involved with that lecher Jiraiya, nor do I really want to ask Tsunade for help. Trading with you is the most convenient way.”

"A wise move!" Orochimaru smiled in agreement. "I like trading. Exchanging goods is the most primitive form of civilization."

"Hold on!"

Orochimaru got up and left.

When he returned, he had a ring with the word "empty" written on it and a scroll in his hand.

"The Empty Ring you requested. And this scroll, it's a reverse spirit summoning scroll from Ryuchi Cave, you just need to unfold it to use it."

"Very good, Orochimaru, you've been a great help!" Chiyu took out a white cloth, put away the Empty Ring with a slight look of disgust, and then put the Reverse Summoning Scroll into his ninja tool pouch.

Actually, she could go to Ryuchi Cave without reverse summoning. Now that she has control of the system, the entire ninja world is under her surveillance, so she knows the address of Ryuchi Cave. But wouldn't traveling be too troublesome?

With these two items obtained, her purpose for coming here can be considered perfectly achieved.

Before leaving, Chiba reminded Orochimaru, "Remember to look at the things I gave you!"

After saying that, Qianyu flew away with the Thunder God.

Hearing her specific reminder, Orochimaru curiously picked up the book left by Chiba and began to read it.

At first, he didn't see anything, because most of the books Qianyu left behind were Chinese books that she had collected on Earth.

It wasn't until Orochimaru found the Japanese book that Chiba had specifically brought that he understood what Chiba had left for him.

This is a brand new seed.

Similarly, it was poppies that he could not refuse.

After staying up all night to finish reading the few books he could understand, Orochimaru looked at the books he couldn't understand at all, but which were clearly of the same type, and gave a wry smile: "If I don't want to go through the trouble of deciphering these words, do I have to go find her?"

"I never thought I'd be cursed like this... These young people are truly formidable!"

With a sigh, Orochimaru put away the books Chiba had given him, deciding to try deciphering the text himself first, and only seek Chiba's help if necessary.

Just then, the door in front of Orochimaru was kicked open with a bang.

Sasuke, who had only just learned that Chiba had been there, angrily questioned, "Orochimaru, why didn't you tell me Chiba was here?"

"Tsk!" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes as he looked at the distraught Sasuke, revealing an expression somewhat similar to that of an old father seeing his wayward son.

However, he quickly suppressed that expression and replaced it with his usual faint smile.

He is Sasuke's teacher, but he is also a venomous snake coveting Sasuke's body.

Sasuke is in a hurry, which is not a bad thing for him.

Orochimaru spoke hoarsely, "Don't you understand, Sasuke? It's because you're not qualified yet! She doesn't want to bother you, that's why she won't see you!"

His words pierced Sasuke's heart like a sharp arrow.

The live stream then froze on Sasuke's astonished expression.

Earth viewers engaged in heated discussions regarding the newly emerging Sage Mode and the Three Holy Lands.

The scroll that Qianyu left behind has sparked countless speculations.

Of course, these are also the results that Chiba wanted to see.

Well, it would be even better if Orochimaru didn't try to provoke Sasuke with malicious intent.

After glancing at the final scene with Sasuke, Qianyu muttered, "They always have to push me a little. What if Sasuke suddenly has a burst of energy and actually stabs me?"

"Fine, I'll forgive you for now, considering this is a very fitting scene for the end of the first part!"

Qianyu temporarily shut down the live stream.

This also means that the three-year hiatus of Shippuden has officially begun!
