Chapter 212: Money! What a simple reward!

Taking a look at the beef stewing in the pot, Orochimaru took out a letter and placed it on the table.

"Who sent it?"

Jingyi asked curiously.

Orochimaru smiled slightly and tapped the table with his fingers:

"Daimyo, the letter says that the messenger with the reward has already rushed to Konoha, but under my communication, the daimyo's messenger will come to the camp in person."

Good man, you are asking for benefits so blatantly.

This is something that even the Third Hokage didn't dare to do. Tsunade could do it, but she wouldn't do it.

Asking relatives for favors?

Somewhat embarrassed.

Orochimaru's idea was relatively simple. Daimyo, you hated the Sand Village so much, but under the leadership of Shizuka and I, we successfully defeated the enemy and drove them to the Land of Wind, giving you a great vent for your anger.

So, as a daimyo, shouldn't you show some sincerity?

In the eyes of most people, the daimyo is aloof and difficult to communicate with. In fact, the daimyo of the Fire Country has a good temper.

At least it is a relatively mild existence among the five major countries.

Instead of being angry about Orochimaru's behavior of asking for benefits, he was very happy about it.

"I'm curious what benefit you want?"

This is a question worth gossiping about. After all, the hobbies of people like Orochimaru... are too elusive. He asks for benefits from the daimyo, so what are the benefits?

I guess Daimyo didn't have anything else to give him except money.

It's not like he should just give a good name. Orochimaru doesn't care about these things.

As long as you don't call him the Great White Snake of Konoha, everything else can be negotiated. Even if you call him a vicious poisonous snake, he will just smile at you and won't take it to heart.

Except for the Great White Snake, Orochimaru hates this name.

"money."

"puff!!!!"

Jingyi choked on his own saliva.

money?

Are you sure you're not kidding?

Such a simple reward?

Although the daimyo is so poor that he only has money left, you, Orochimaru, asked for money right away. Isn't this a bit... wrong? You don't seem to be short of money.

Facing Jingyi's suspicious gaze, Orochimaru took the initiative to explain:

"After paying you the compensation I gave you before, plus the funds for the experiment, I've run out of money. I'm not interested in ordinary rewards, so I just asked for the money."

"alright."

Although it was beyond expectations, Orochimaru's experiments were indeed very expensive, and since all his cash had been drained, it was understandable that he asked for money.

"So what's my reward?"

Faced with this question, Orochimaru smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, the Daimyo didn't say it clearly."

is it?

Jingyi felt that Orochimaru was not being honest. He must have known it but just didn't want to say it out loud.

I picked up the envelope, opened it, and read the letter inside. It was indeed not written clearly.

Forget it, why think about these things, what benefit can the name give?

It seems that apart from money, nothing can attract him.

Okay, Jingyi admits that he is a vulgar person.

There is no vulgar person who doesn't love money.

Besides, Orochimaru's experiments cost a lot of money, and his puppet making also cost a lot of money. Even if new materials are used now, the cost can be reduced to the lowest, but the low cost cannot keep up with the large quantity.

Jingyi wanted to build a puppet army.

If you want to build a puppet army, it is impossible without sufficient financial support.

So...just give me some simple reward, a few hundred million taels will be enough, if not, tens of millions taels will also be acceptable.

As for verbal rewards, forget about that.

Jingyi doesn't want to get too close to Daimyo.

"Play is play, make noise is noise, there are naturally incompatible attitudes between the daimyo and the village, so don't get yourself involved."

As the village develops, they try every means to empty the daimyo's wallet, and the daimyo tries every means to poach people from Konoha.

"Apart from money, I'm not interested in the daimyo's people." Orochimaru smiled and shook his head.

He was very happy when the daimyo gave him money, but he would rather give up if the daimyo wanted to poach him.

Orochimaru didn't want to be the one caught in the middle.

Even Tsunade, who was related to the Daimyo Prefecture, didn't want to be caught in the middle, let alone Orochimaru.

Just keep it in mind.

Jingyi did not continue to persuade. He believed that Orochimaru would not side with the Daimyo, because if the Daimyo's mansion became stronger, it would be bad for everyone.

Since you are a daimyo, you should just enjoy life and be a parasite. It's good to play with beautiful women, sing and dance, and hunt when you have nothing to do. Don't think about gaining military power.

"Tsk~ To be honest, I envy the simple life of the daimyo."

“???” Orochimaru had a face full of question marks.

what the hell.

The simple life of Daimyo?

Is life as a daimyo interesting?

Apart from the daily delicacies, there are all kinds of women. Is such a life interesting?

"You do not understand."

Facing Orochimaru's puzzled gaze, Shizue sighed.

The life of a daimyo is what countless people dream of.

Of course, Jingyi thought the same in his previous life, so in this life...his goals should be bigger.

Ordinary girls are so boring. Aren’t female ninjas more attractive if they are both powerful and beautiful?

Well, I don't understand.

Orochimaru, who has no interest in women, really doesn't understand these things.

This kind of plain and simple life had no appeal to him at all.

Instead of wasting time, it would be more interesting to do some experiments.

"What is my job?"

Ye Cang completely accepted his fate.

Facing Ye Cang's question, Jing thought for a moment and replied:

"For now, you don't need to do anything. Just take care of your body, train hard, improve your strength, and then be my secretary."

Ye Cang: “….”

Am I destined to be a secretary?

What made Ye Cang almost vomit blood was that two days later, someone delivered several sets of secretary uniforms.

Ye Cang was forced to change out of the ninja uniform that Jingyi was too embarrassed to complain about.

To be honest, Ye Cang's ninja uniform is really ugly, not even as good-looking as the secretary uniform.

A tight-fitting suit and high heels are the perfect match.

Konoha held a welcome party.

Because a delegation of envoys from the daimyo came to the village.

The Third Hokage, who had just returned to the village, went to greet them in person, but the smile on his face disappeared after the envoys arrived at the Hokage's office building.

The envoys brought gifts from the daimyo.

There were three people who received the gift: Hatake Sakumo, Shizuichi and Orochimaru.

Among them, Orochimaru's reward was the most common and also the most attractive to the Third Hokage. The Daimyo gave him a reward of 30 million taels.

The Third Hokage was very envious of these tens of millions of dollars.

Unfortunately, this money is for Orochimaru. After distributing the reward to Hatake Sakumo, the envoys will rush to the front-line camp and distribute it to Shizuichi and Orochimaru personally. The Third Hokage cannot touch it.

If Orochimaru's reward is just eye-catching, then the rewards from Shizuichi and Hatake Sakumo will make the Third Hokage's blood pressure rise continuously.
