Chapter 286 Shikaku's shock, Orochimaru returns to Akatsuki

"No problem. Remember to help me locate Scorpion's exact location if you get a chance."

Haneda had no intention of trying to keep Orochimaru. The three crops were enough to keep him busy for a while.

As for Scorpion, Haneda felt that with his caution and intelligence, he would not trust Orochimaru so easily.

"Okay." Orochimaru left with some of the experimental subjects.

Watching his departing back, Haneda thought about how to complete the first five-year plan as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The food is already in hand, and Haneda is able to cultivate a large number of seeds in a short period of time.

Such seeds will not be worse than the previous generation like in the previous life. All the seeds bred by Orochimaru are purebreds.

Either all are dominant genes or all are recessive genes. Unless there is a gene mutation, all seeds will be almost the same as the first generation.

What really needs to be solved is the distribution issue, how much should be used for poverty alleviation and relief, and how much should be exported abroad in exchange for profits.

As for relief, it also involves precise relief, and there are always some officials who can seek personal gain in such matters.

If we export, we have to consider the market share, so that people at home don’t go hungry while people abroad eat and drink well.

After pondering for a long time, Haneda finally decided to throw this difficult matter to Shikaku and let him discuss a solution with the cabinet.

When I arrived at the office, I saw Lu Jiu working hard as expected.

Haneda's steps and movements became lighter, and he only spoke after watching Shikaku finish the business at hand:

"Lu Jiu, do you remember the high-yield grain promotion plan I told you about last time?"

"Orochimaru has been cultivated."

Shikaku said without even raising his head:

"I will arrange the implementation, and when the time comes, you just need to prepare enough seeds, Hokage."

Haneda nodded, he had the same plan.

Seeing that Shikaku didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, Haneda introduced:

"The hybrid rice cultivated by Orochimaru has a yield of up to 800 kilograms per acre, and wheat can also be improved..."

Hearing that the yield per mu was 800 kilograms, Lu Jiu raised his head and asked in surprise and doubt:

"Wait, Hokage-sama, what did you just say the yield of hybrid rice is? 800 kilograms per acre?"

Seeing Haneda nodded, Shikaku asked again in disbelief:

"Hokage-sama, are you sure the yield per acre is 800 kilograms? You are not being fooled by Orochimaru!"

"This has doubled the production! If it is popularized, it can completely solve all food problems in the country!!"

Haneda has also heard of super hybrid rice that is even more powerful than the hybrid rice that Orochimaru is currently cultivating.

He seemed quite normal and replied:

"That's right. The yield per mu is 800 kilograms. I cultivated it step by step while watching Orochimaru. I have also tested it."

After making sure that Haneda was not lying, Shikaku took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down.

I originally thought that Hokage-sama was just looking for an excuse to throw all government affairs to me like before...

I didn't expect Haneda to be serious?

He really worked with Orochimaru to cultivate high-yield crops! Extremely high-yield crops!

But everything has a price, right?

Lu Jiu had seen too many things go to extremes and backfire, so he instinctively became suspicious.

He suspected that Orochimaru was only responsible for cultivating high yields, but gave up the environment for the seeds to grow and mature!

Under the banner of high productivity, you deceive the Hokage that there is still a lot of room for improvement in your knowledge!

Orochimaru is an S-rank rebel ninja of Konoha. He has no reason to be willing to help Konoha!

Shikaku had never heard of any special relationship between Haneda and Orochimaru!

It’s just that I can’t say it in front of Haneda.

He hinted:

"Hokage-sama, the environment in some places is quite bad, with many pests and heavy rains. In the north, there are frequent sudden drops in temperature..."

Haneda interrupted, "I have considered these factors a long time ago."

"I specifically told Orochimaru."

"Hybrid rice is not only high-yielding, but also resistant to diseases and pests."

"Wheat also has high yields and has the advantages of being cold-resistant and drought-resistant. It can be grown in the cold northern regions and harvested twice a year."

"In addition, Orochimaru has also cultivated cow leg mushrooms, which can grow in dark and humid areas and have a protein content seven times that of beef."

Shikaku was completely speechless.

There was no need for Haneda to deceive himself about such important matters, it must be true.

But countless questions remained in Lu Jiu's heart.

Isn’t Orochimaru one of the legendary three ninjas, a powerful ninja?

Is he a bit off-duty?

How come you even know something like growing crops, which has nothing to do with ninjutsu?

And how did Lord Hokage know that Orochimaru was good at this kind of thing?

These are totally unrelated!

…………

On the other side, Orochimaru rushed back to the Rain Country after two and a half days.

At this time, in the Hidden Rain Village, Tendo Pain was sitting on the tongue of the statue in the center of the Hidden Rain Village.

He stretched out his right hand and sensed the chakra aura of the falling raindrops.

Behind Tendo Pain, Konan walked over.

"Is Orochimaru back?"

Tendo Pain stood up, raindrops fell on the red cloud cloak, leaving a back view in the heavy rain.

"Send Orochimaru and Sasori to see me."

A few minutes later, Orochimaru and Sasori met at the Akatsuki base.

Scorpion looked at Orochimaru secretly. He guessed that Orochimaru had not contacted him for a month and must be with Haneda.

Being connected to someone like this with Haneda made him feel dangerous, and he involuntarily chose to stay away from Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked at Scorpion, who was five or six meters away from him, licked his lips, and smiled sinisterly:

"Aren't you curious about what I did last month?"

Scorpion stopped and said indifferently:

"What else do you do besides doing your boring experiments?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru still kept a smile on his face:

"I have some cooperation with Uchiha Haneda."

Scorpion looked back and saw the smile on Orochimaru's face, and felt an inexplicable chill.

"You want to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Orochimaru said: "It depends on your sincerity. I only cooperate with people who are worthy."

"I can give you a clear answer. Haneda wants to kill you very much. He entrusted me to determine your location."

"And I don't want you to die now."

Scorpion heard the hidden words of Orochimaru.

Now does not mean later, this is a naked threat!

Scorpion is not the kind of person who likes to be threatened. He said coldly:

"The leader will not tolerate your behavior, and I am not that easy to kill."

Orochimaru smiled, and he inadvertently glanced at the lavender eyes hidden behind the pillar.

Pein has been watching here, and Orochimaru is making implicit statements.

He had no intention of betraying the organization.

Arriving at the gathering place, Tendao Pain was sitting upright on a high stone chair, with godlike majesty in his indifference.

Tendo Pain's eyes immediately turned to Orochimaru:

"What did you do during the month you disappeared?"

Orochimaru told the truth: "I promised Konoha's Hokage Uchiha Haneda to research something."

Payne became curious.

Haneda is looking for an S-rank rebel ninja from Konoha to cooperate with. Orochimaru must have some value that even the Hokage can tolerate.

What does he want to study?
