Chapter 789 Zhi's "Selling Herself"
There are many theories as to why Orochimaru defected to Konoha.
One of the most widely circulated is that Orochimaru used Konoha's ninjas and surrounding villagers for human experiments and was discovered by Konoha, which aroused the rage of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and personally led the ANBU to arrest him.
But if you think about it carefully, you can see how unrealistic this statement is.
At the current moment, a war breaks out between Konoha and Cloud Hidden Village. With Orochimaru's ability, there are too many ways to obtain experimental subjects directly from the battlefield, so why bother to attack ninjas from the same village?
This kind of thing, it can be said that Danzo's roots are pretty good.
Just as Orochimaru said, half of his rebellion from the village was his initiative, and half of it was the intention of Konoha's senior officials to deliberately add fuel to the flames to settle the score.
But Orochimaru never cared about this kind of thing.
"Okay, you should hurry up and leave here. It won't be long before the old man leads a team over. I can't beat him now."
Reaching out across the table and pocketing the tube of dragon blood reagent, Orochimaru stood up from the table.
"Also, when you leave, take that stupid disciple of mine with you. She is too stupid. She might as well stay in Mu..."
"Want to play something big?"
Mu Qingzhi also stood up from the table and interrupted the other party's words with great interest.
"You're leaving anyway, how about doing something before you leave?"?
"What, what do you want to do?"
Lowering his head, Orochimaru looked at her with interest.
"Don't forget, this is the time of war between Konoha and Kumogakure. Although the war situation has stabilized now, when the news about me defecting to the village is spread, it will inevitably have an impact on the situation on the front line."
"Don't worry, it won't make any big noise."
Mu Qingzhi waved her hand.
"It's just that a certain Danzo is a little annoyed. I want to make him feel uncomfortable. Since you are going out, you must use money, right? By then, it will be 50-50 between us."
"...You want to rob the roots?"
Unconsciously, Orochimaru's face looked a little strange.
"Yes, I am very short of money now, and there is obviously a big fat sheep over there."
With a solemn expression, Mu Qingzhi nodded.
"As far as I know, Danzo seems to be very concerned about me. You can send me to Genbu and extort a large sum of money from Danzo on my condition. The money exchanged will be We’re 50/50.”
Orochimaru: "..."
"...Are you sure?"
After looking her up and down, Orochimaru's expression suddenly became even weirder.
"The root is not a good place. It's easy to send you there, but are you sure you can really come out from there?"
"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, I have my own way."
Waving her hands, Mu Qingzhi looked confident.
"But one thing you have to remember is that you can sell it for as much as you want. I will share half of it when the time comes. How about cooperation?"
"Of course I am willing to do this kind of business without capital."
The snake eyes in his eyes narrowed, and Orochimaru answered with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will definitely sell you for a good price."

"Ah...it's so slow. Does it have to take so long to talk?"
In the lounge next door, Mitarashi Anko was rolling back and forth on the bed out of boredom.
In her opinion, her teacher just accepted a disciple, and there was no need to spend such a long time talking. As a result, she had been waiting here for almost an hour and she didn't know what the teacher had to talk about. .
"But after today, I will be Senior Sister... Well, Senior Sister needs to prepare some gifts for Junior Sister in advance..."
As if she remembered something, Mitarashi Anko suddenly sat up from the bed.
"As for the gift, Xiao Zhi should like it... huh?"
As if sensing something, she stood up from the bed with some joy, and Mitarashi Anko hurriedly went out.
But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she opened the door, she saw her teacher and Xiao Zhi standing behind her teacher like a puppet.
"Teacher, what are you..."
"It's getting very late. I'll take her home. You can rest by yourself."
Turning to look at her, Orochimaru said this slightly coldly, then walked straight forward.
Mitarai Anko subconsciously looked towards Uchiha Zhi, but what came into her eyes was a pair of dull, lifeless eyes.
"Illusion... wait, teacher, why did he..."
After a moment of daze, Mitarashi Anko, whose face changed slightly, subconsciously wanted to follow her, but before she could take a few steps, she was suddenly wrapped up by an invisible strong wind and thrown backwards into the original lounge. At the same time, the door to the lounge also automatically locked.
——From a distance, my teacher’s slightly distorted voice came over.
"Just rest and get some sleep."
Mitarashi Anko: "..."
After a brief silence, she gritted her teeth and looked at the wall behind her.
Although she didn't get along with him for a long time, in her heart, she already regarded Xiao Zhi as her little junior sister. Since she brought him here, she has the obligation to keep him intact. Send it back intact.
...even if she has to disobey her teacher's orders.
"Hey, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to plot against your only disciple like this, doesn't it?"
While walking beside Orochimaru, Mu Qingzhi asked speechlessly.
"It doesn't matter. With her character, she is destined not to leave with me even to death. But with my identity, her life in the village will not be easy after I leave. In this case, why not It’s better to plan a way out for the other party in advance.”
While walking ahead, Orochimaru spoke calmly.
"With your Uchiha's care, she should be able to live a more comfortable life in the village."
"Actually, there's no need...forget it, that's fine."
After a moment of pondering, Mu Qingzhi nodded.
"But speaking of which, are you so sure that Uchiha will have a conflict with Danzo over me? What if they want to settle the matter?"
In Mu Qingzhi's opinion, every one of these patriarchs of the wealthy Konoha clan has something wrong with them.
In the former case, Uchiha Fugaku was willing to die without caring about his people, and in the latter case, Hinata Hinatsu handed over his biological brother to appease his anger on the premise that his daughter was kidnapped by ninjas from another country. This is simply outrageous...
"...to put things to rest?"
Turning his head to look at the girl next to him, Orochimaru had a strange look on his face.
——He suddenly discovered that the other party had a serious misunderstanding of himself.
