Chapter 55 Stark and the Snake

"…Are you sure it won't swallow us whole?"

Tony's voice was a little hoarse, but overall he remained calm. He is worthy of being Iron Man!
The premise is to ignore the fact that his legs seem to be shaking a little, which is probably because he has been standing for too long.

"I don't eat humans, Master Borsalino. Master Orochimaru told me to follow your orders."

The big snake suddenly opened its mouth and made a voice that sounded a bit like a little girl. Although it looked ferocious and scary on the outside, its voice was unexpectedly soft and tender, which was quite incongruous.

"Snakes...snakes can talk?!"

Tony couldn't help but exclaimed. Now he understood that if Borsalino wanted to harm them, he and Ethan would have been dead long ago.

"What's so rare about this? Even frogs and slugs in Orochimaru's world can talk. If you go to my world someday, you might even see skeletons that can talk."

Borsalino carried Tony and Ethan and landed on the head of the snake. Orochimaru was still very reliable. There was a structure similar to a crest on the snake's head, so there was no need to worry about falling off easily when sitting on it.

"Hey, isn't there a slightly more normal means of transportation?"

Tony couldn't help but complain. His heart rate hadn't returned to normal yet. If he had a heart attack, he would probably die on the spot.

"Yes, there is also a women's bicycle. You can take turns riding it. By the way, that bicycle is pink."

Borsalino chuckled. If it weren't for the fact that Tony would most likely choose to walk, he would actually prefer to see Iron Man riding a pink bicycle.

The speed at which the giant snake slid on the ground was quite astonishing. In just ten minutes or so, smoke could be seen rising from the foot of the mountain in the distance.

"Ms. Quetzalcoatl, are you interested in accepting a job with good pay? How about a monthly salary of 500,000 US dollars? If it's not enough, we can negotiate..."

In such a short period of time, Tony has completely dispelled his fear of the big snake, and is very excited about recruiting this giant python named Quetzalcoatl as an employee.

I have to say that Tony has good taste. Even the top-of-the-line sports car is not as cool as riding a giant python that is over 40 meters long.

What's more, Quetzalcoatl's combat capability is quite impressive. Its scales are strong enough to withstand close-range fire from fully automatic rifles. Its power can easily overturn a main battle tank, and its speed is not much slower than that of an ordinary sports car.

When necessary, the feathered serpent can carry its master to escape underground, provided that the ground is not rocky or too thick cement.

Not only is it a high-quality car, but also an extremely powerful bodyguard. Let alone half a million US dollars, even if it is several times more, Tony can totally accept it.

"What is work?"

The country snake from the Ryuchi Cave in the Ninja World listened to Tony's words with great interest, and then asked curiously.

Although the feathered serpent is long and thick, it was still a young snake when it was born in Longdi Cave. In human terms, it is only about six or seven years old.

Tony said a lot but it didn't understand a word. It just thought the chattering of this two-legged beast was very funny.

"Well, work means I give you money or some other benefits, and you have to listen to me."

Tony didn't feel guilty about deceiving the kid at all, and all he could think about was recruiting the snake to be his bodyguard and ride. For a show-off like Tony, riding the snake in the spotlight was even more exciting than announcing in public that he was Iron Man.

"No, Orochimaru-sama only told me to follow Borsalino-sama's orders."

Quetzalcoatl rejected Tony without hesitation, leaving no room for negotiation in his tone.

"Hey, lady, it's the 21st century now. Personal dependence is no longer popular. You have the right to decide your own future..."

Tony, unwilling to give up, tried to instill the so-called independent and equal thinking into Quetzalcoatl. It was obvious that he himself was a typical male chauvinist who ignored women as if they were in his pants, but now he has become a pioneer of equal rights.

"Ahem... Tony, let me remind you, Orochimaru is the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village. Konoha Village just defeated four opponents of the same level and won the Third Ninja World War that lasted for several years..."

Borsalino watched Tony luring Quetzalcoatl coldly, and when he thought the time was right, he reminded him with a smile.

"Village leader? Village chief? Mr. Borsalino, do you know how many senators and congressmen have received donations from Stark Industries? In South America, even if you are the president of a country, you need to apply for a meeting with the head of Stark Industries in your country several weeks in advance..."

Tony spoke with disdain, even though he was now so poor that he didn't even have a car, as long as he could return to civilized society, he would immediately be a guest of honor for dignitaries from all over the world. A puppet like the Afghan president would not even be qualified to shine his shoes.

"As far as I know, Konoha has more than 10,000 ninjas..."

Borsalino spoke slowly and said that during the Fourth Ninja World War, the five major countries were able to gather 70,000 ninja troops. Even though the Third Ninja World War had just ended, Konoha's ninjas would not be short of troops.

"Tsk, the U.S. military has over one million active troops, making it the most powerful military force on Earth!"

Tony sneered. As the number one arms supplier to the US military, he had every reason to look down on the armed forces at the 'village' level.

Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that this village can mobilize tens of thousands of armed personnel, but think about it carefully, when the Afghan government collapsed, there were still more than 100,000 troops. What are tens of thousands of armed personnel?
"The vast majority of ninjas are well-trained killing machines..."

Borsalino didn't care about Tony's reaction and continued to speak slowly.

Tony was too lazy to say anything this time. A three-year-old child could become a killing machine with weapons made by Stark Industries.

"The weakest among them are called Genin. Any Genin who has experienced war, with simple training and some knowledge of firearms, can kill the terrorists who kidnapped you by assassination..."

Before Borsalino could finish his words, he saw Tony's face turn green. More than ten thousand assassins comparable to top killers?

What kind of monster organization is this?

Are their enemies aliens?

Oh, in a sense, the ninja world is also an alien to Earth. Excuse me...

"The elite among ninjas are called jonin. The weakest jonin can easily kill dozens of genin. The strongest jonin is like Orochimaru. If there is no superhero to stop him, destroying a few small countries is a piece of cake..."

Borsalino smiled and gave Tony another bombshell piece of news. Tony, who was sitting on the head of the Quetzalcoatl, had already begun to think about the possibility of escaping.
