Chapter 257 Cooperation with Orochimaru (Part and )

"hateful!"

Darui slammed his fist on the table, looking extremely angry.

Mabui, Samui and others were silent upon seeing this.

They could understand why Darui was like this.

It’s because the negotiations with Konoha Village were not going well.

Nara Shikaku insisted on those four conditions and refused to give in at all.

After a month of discussion, he finally brought up the two captured Yubokuto, Killer Bee and the Fourth Raikage as threats.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, they all knew what he meant.

"Can we only agree to Konoha Village?"

Tutai asked after thinking for a while.

"We have to rescue Yukito, Killerbe-sama, and Raikage-sama."

Mabui said slowly, "Without them, our Cloud Village will be at the mercy of others."

Her implication was simple: not agreeing would only make the consequences worse.

"But……"

Darui hesitated to speak.

He really wanted to say that agreeing to all of Konoha Village's conditions would be no different from being at the mercy of others.

"Don't forget, the enemies of the Hidden Cloud Village are far more than just the Leaf Village."

Mabui sighed and said.

In the past, the Hidden Cloud Village had always acted in an overbearing manner, robbing people and stealing secret techniques. It could be said that it did all kinds of evil and offended many ninja villages.

Now is the time to pay back.

If you don't agree to Konoha Village, you will be targeted by other ninja villages.

The reason why they are not moving now is because they are afraid of Konoha Village.

They were waiting for the attitude of Konoha Village or the outcome of the peace talks.

Once the talks fail, the Hidden Cloud Village will be divided up among many ninja villages.

"Once you agree, it will be difficult for the Hidden Cloud Village to develop for a long time."

Tutai said with a heavy face.

"As long as you are alive, there is hope."

Ma Buyi frowned and said, "We don't have any better solution now."

"Maybe Hanekawa can help us."

Samui suddenly spoke up.

"Hekawa can certainly help us, but how can he help us?"

Darui snorted coldly and said, "Lord Raikage and the others were captured by him!"

"You mean his identity as a spy?"

Tu Tai's mind moved, and he said, "If we can find the earth bridge that connects with him, it might be useful."

"There's no way Hanekawa would leave such a big loophole for us."

Ma Buyi shook his head and said, "Tuqiao has probably been dealt with by him. There is no point in finding him."

"I'm referring to the deal Hanekawa made with us before."

Samui calmly analyzed and said, "It must be useful for him to retain his identity as a spy for the Hidden Cloud Village. I will go talk to him again."

"You go?"

Mabui couldn't help but frown.

"My relationship with him is OK, it's not bad."

Samui paused and said, "This is the last resort, just give it a try."

"..."

Mabui opened his mouth, but in the end he could only nod.

They have run out of options and Hanekawa is their only hope.

Samui subconsciously clutched her short black skirt.

She thought of the punishment that Hanekawa received that day, so she wanted to meet him.

Samui was smart enough to know that he was treating her differently.

Regardless of the intention or otherwise, as long as it can save the Hidden Cloud Village, she can pay the price.

……

Konoha Forest.

Hanekawa stood in an open space with his hands forming seals.

Wood Release: The Art of Wooden Man!

The chakra in his body was almost completely consumed in an instant.

A faint feeling of weakness came over me.

Hanekawa was not surprised.

Wood Release: Woodman Jutsu is comparable to the Uchiha clan's Susanoo in terms of power and size.

Its consumption is so great that it is difficult for ordinary ninjas to bear.

In the original work, there are many ninjas who have transplanted Hashirama's cells, but none of them can use Wood Release or Woodman Jutsu.

The only one that can be used is Yamato.

He can only use it after being possessed by White Zetsu Afei.

Under normal circumstances, no one can use it except Hashirama Senju.

Hanekawa stared at the ground.

Huge tree roots broke out of the ground, and after a sudden earthquake, an extremely huge wooden man slowly rose up.

But unfortunately, it lost strength when it was halfway up and collapsed with a loud bang.

"It turns out that it's not that easy to learn."

Hanekawa sat down on the ground and began to recover his chakra.

The time soon came to afternoon.

Hanekawa let out a breath.

Although I haven't learned Wood Release: Wooden Man Technique, at least the progress bar is rising.

Hanekawa stood up and used the Flying Thunder God Technique after a little thought.

The next second, he appeared at Orochimaru's door.

Kabuto Yakushi has now become accustomed to life in the Konoha Orphanage and has a good relationship with Nono Yakushi.

Just yesterday, Hanekawa met them at Konoha Hospital.

Yakushi Nono told him that she planned to send Yakushi Kabuto to Ninja School.

After all, he is seven years old.

Hanekawa didn't say much, but decided to have a chat, or rather cooperate, with Orochimaru.

"Hanekawa-senpai?!"

The door opened, and Mitarashi Anko asked in surprise, "Why is it you?"

"Hongdou, long time no see."

Hanekawa said hello.

As he reached the door, he noticed the snakes nearby.

It was only natural that she was discovered by Mitarashi Anko.

"How's your life here with Uncle Orochimaru?"

Hanekawa walked forward and asked.

"Of course it is very good!"

Mitarashi Anko said proudly, "You can eat whatever you want, you have a lot of pocket money, and you can learn all kinds of ninjutsu."

Hanekawa thought to himself, is this what it means when a fool has good fortune?
It has to be said that compared with the future Uchiha Sasuke and Kaguya Kimimaro and others, the treatment of Mitarashi Anko is completely different.

"Is Uncle Orochimaru here? I need to see him for something."

Hanekawa walked into the courtyard and was immediately surrounded by snakes.

"Senior Hanekawa is a guest, all of you leave!"

Mitarashi Anko put her hands on her hips and scolded.

The snakes understood her words and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"I'll take you to see the teacher!"

Mitarashi Anko skipped into the living room.

Hanekawa couldn't help but smile.

It is truly a miracle to see such a carefree person in Orochimaru.

If Orochimaru's future subordinates knew this, they would probably be shocked.

"Eh? Teacher, why are you here?"

When Mitarashi Anko saw Orochimaru, she was immediately surprised and asked.

She had originally planned to go to the underground laboratory, but she hadn't expected Orochimaru to be in the living room.

"Since the Hokage's assistant has come to visit us, we naturally dare not neglect him."

Orochimaru said calmly.

He raised his head, looked at Hanekawa, and couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth.

If he could defeat him, he would really like to study his body and Wood Release right now.

"Hongdou, you go down first."

Orochimaru said casually.

"Ok."

Mitarashi Anko looked at Hanekawa, then at Orochimaru, turned and left with a conflicted look on her face.

She really wanted to know what they would talk about, but she didn't want to disobey Orochimaru's orders.

"I never thought I would get to see a second Hokage assist me."

Orochimaru immediately thought of Danzo Shimura.

Now that Hanekawa has become the Hokage's assistant, he actually misses Danzo Shimura a little.

At least they weren't enemies.

Danzo Shimura would occasionally help him with his experiments.

But it is unlikely for Hanekawa.

After all, he is Tsunade's student and is very powerful, so there is no need to cooperate with him.

"I'm here to discuss cooperation."

Hanekawa got straight to the point. "Cooperation?"

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

He was still thinking that there was no possibility for them to cooperate, but suddenly he was slapped in the face.

"What can we cooperate on?"

Orochimaru asked curiously.

"Having lost power, is your research still going well?"

Hanekawa asked rhetorically.

"Do you know what I'm researching?"

When Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, he exuded a captivating aura.

"do not know."

Hanekawa said casually, "I only know that research requires a lot of things, such as money and materials."

"You mean you provide me with money and materials?"

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "That's interesting, but what's the price?"

Just as Hanekawa said, he is indeed short of money and materials now.

Without power, he became a lonely man and had to do everything by himself.

But he was under house arrest and was not even allowed to go out to do tasks and earn money.

“Share your research.”

Hanekawa replied.

"Do you think that's possible?"

Orochimaru asked, his face suddenly darkening.

If his research were to be made public, he would probably become a traitor.

Especially research such as reincarnation is even less likely to be shared.

"Uncle Orochimaru, you have misunderstood."

Hanekawa shook his head and said, "I only want research results that will benefit Konoha Village."

Even if the reincarnation was offered to him, he would not want it.

He doesn't want to change his body.

"Benefiting Konoha?"

Orochimaru sneered, "That sounds familiar."

He remembered that Danzo Shimura loved to say that everything was for Konoha, but in fact it was all lies.

"For example, you are good at human body technology. I hope to use it in Konoha Hospital to treat more ninjas."

Hanekawa knew what he was talking about, but he did have a clear conscience.

the reason is simple.

Orochimaru's research was of little use to him.

It is enough for him to have his entry plug-in.

As long as you proceed step by step, you can become the strongest in the ninja world. In this case, there is no need to pursue crooked ways.

Orochimaru was stunned when he heard this.

Is it true or false when it sounds so high-sounding?

But when he thought that Hanekawa was Tsunade's student, he believed it a little more.

This certainly seems like something Tsunade would do.

"It's up to me to decide what research results to give you."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said.

"can."

Hanekawa changed the subject and said, "But it must match the value of the money and materials I give."

"no problem."

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

Given his current situation, there was naturally no need for him to do any tricks.

As long as he doesn't defect, he won't easily offend allies like Hanekawa.

"And one more thing."

Hanekawa said directly, "I hope you will accept another student."

"I have no intention of accepting disciples."

Orochimaru said in refusal.

"His name is Kabuto Yakushi. He is a war orphan adopted by Yakushi Nono. He has excellent medical ninja talent and research talent."

Hanekawa spoke to himself.

"How do you know he has a talent for research?"

Orochimaru asked with a slight look in his eyes.

To be honest, he had wanted to find a laboratory assistant a long time ago, but had never found a suitable candidate.

He was a little worried about the students recommended by Hanekawa.

“He was interested in research and experiments and that kind of thing.”

Hanekawa paused and said, "And he's only seven years old."

Seven years old?

Orochimaru couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The younger you are, the more malleable you are.

Even though Hanekawa has bad intentions, Orochimaru believes that with his abilities he can make Kabuto Yakushi loyal to him.

"Ninja teams usually consist of four people. I can give you another student and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Hanekawa said this with an idea in mind or on impulse.

"Who?"

Orochimaru asked with interest.

And he was guaranteed to satisfy him? Are there any students like this in Konoha Village?

"Itachi Uchiha."

Hanekawa said word for word.

"Uchiha Fugaku's son? The genius of the Uchiha clan?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he heard that.

He was originally interested in the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Like Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi undoubtedly has the conditions to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The reason why Hanekawa did this was because he thought of Uchiha Shin.

Orochimaru experimented on Uchiha Shin and actually created the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Now because of Hanekawa's butterfly effect, Uchiha Itachi can no longer be as open-minded as in the original work, so it would be better to give it to Orochimaru.

Of course, the most important thing is still strength.

Hanekawa has the power to control them.

Whether it is Orochimaru or Uchiha Itachi, it is difficult for them to cause trouble under his nose.

In particular, Hanekawa's strength is still increasing rapidly.

If Orochimaru had known better, he would have just done his experiments in Konoha Village.

If you don't know what's good for you, then we can only use some coercive measures.

"Yes, that's him."

Hanekawa nodded and said.

As for whether Uchiha Fugaku is willing, of course he is willing.

Although Orochimaru had planned to harm them before, he was one of the three ninjas of Konoha after all.

Having him as a teacher is a good thing for the Uchiha clan, and it will be more beneficial to their path to becoming Hokage.

"I promise you."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth excitedly and said.

"Do you know what this is?"

Hanekawa took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai and asked.

"Have you learned the Flying Thunder God technique?"

Orochimaru couldn't help but stare at him and asked.

He suddenly remembered the previous notification from the snake group that Hanekawa appeared out of nowhere at his doorstep.

This is undoubtedly in line with the characteristics of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"good."

Hanekawa smiled and said, "I will leave the Flying Thunder God Mark on both Kabuto Yakushi and Itachi Uchiha."

This is undoubtedly a threat.

Orochimaru stared at him, but could do nothing.

With the Flying Thunder God Mark, he didn't dare to touch Kabuto Yakushi and Uchiha Itachi.

And it goes far beyond that.

It became a luxury for him to take action against Hanekawa.

Even if he wanted to betray the village, whether he could escape became a problem.

How could this guy be allowed to learn such perverted ninjutsu?

What the hell!

This was the first time that Orochimaru felt such a difficult situation.

"So nice to work with."

Hanekawa threw it casually and said, "This Flying Thunder God Kunai is for you."

"..."

Orochimaru twitched the corner of his mouth.

So blatant?

"Kabuto Yakushi and Itachi Uchiha will be here tomorrow."

Hanekawa chuckled and his body disappeared.

"It is indeed the art of Flying Thunder God."

Orochimaru couldn't help but frown.
