Chapter 281 The cunning Orochimaru

Seeing Natsuki's hesitation, Orochimaru stepped forward to add fuel to the fire.

"Natsuki, there's nothing wrong with giving the formula to the daimyo. The Country of Fire is much bigger than the tiny country of Tian."

"The profits obtained in the Country of Fire can be ten times higher than those in the Country of Fields. Why do you care so much?"

Xia Mu's eyes fluctuated, as if he had some intention.

However, Natsuki still snorted coldly and said to the Third Hokage:

"No matter how much profit there is, it will not be divided up by Konoha, just like our Uchiha clan is obviously the founder of Konoha."

"But now there is no right or status at all, only endless suppression. Do you think I will still believe you?"

Orochimaru glanced at the Third Hokage, and also made eye contact with Jiraiya.

The Third Hokage said seriously:

"There were indeed many misunderstandings between Konoha and the Uchiha clan before, but the initiator of them was Danzo Shimura."

"Although he escaped from prison and disappeared, we found out all the things he had done one by one."

"We Konoha will make up for our debts to Uchiha one by one. What we need now is to sit down and have a good discussion, not to fight."

Jiraiya also stepped forward to persuade him:

"Xiamu, I think we can have a good talk. There is absolutely no need to fight for some interests and rights."

The Third Hokage added again: "Now Kumogakure and Kirigakure are fighting fiercely, and the fire of war may come over at any time."

"Even if you don't think about it for yourself, you should think about it for your Uchiha."

"Now only Orochimaru's cloning technology can save Itachi and Fugaku's eyes."

"You don't want to lose sight of Itachi and Fugaku."

What the Third Hokage said was reasonable, and Natsuki's expression relaxed.

The third generation is ready to add another fire:

"I have wronged the Uchiha clan because of the Nine-Tails incident. Therefore, I appointed Fugaku as an honorary elder."

"I know that's not enough."

"The unfair treatment Uchiha has received over the years cannot be erased by an honorary elder."

"So in the name of Hokage, I will give the Uchiha clan another honorary elder seat."

"This way Uchiha will have considerable power in Konoha."

"Xiamu, this is my greatest sincerity."

The Third Hokage said in a deep voice.

Xia Mu thought coldly for a while. .

Then he took a deep breath and let it out slowly:

"If I give my formula to the daimyo, how will the benefits be distributed?"

Hearing Natsuki ask this question, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya felt relieved.

They knew that Xia Mu's failure to grasp the previous issue meant that Xia Mu had compromised.

The Third Hokage winked at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya went to negotiate with the ANBU waiting outside.

Kakashi here was staring at the two coffins, not knowing what he was thinking.

Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice:

"The daimyo needs to set up shops, staff, and promote himself, so it accounts for 50%."

"I used a new way to sell products faster. So I accounted for 10%."

"You Uchiha do nothing and account for 40%."

The Third Hokage's heart skipped a beat, this was completely different from what the special envoy said.

But there was nothing strange about his face.

Xia Mu thought for a moment and seemed to accept the assignment.

"What's the profit this month?"

Orochimaru said with a smile on his face: "Because the Daimyo's factory has just started production, many materials are insufficient and production capacity is insufficient."

"So your profit in the first month was 150 million."

As he spoke, Orochimaru took out four boxes from the storage scroll.

When I opened it, there were all large denomination banknotes inside.

Xia Mu nodded, seemingly satisfied.

The third Hokage's mouth twitched, but he said nothing.

Natsuki stared at Orochimaru: "Can Itachi's eyes be cloned?"

Orochimaru affirmed: "No problem, Itachi's eyes are still there. It will only take a while to clone the eyes."

"However, the cloned ones can only have ordinary eyes. I don't know if they can open the eyes."

Xia Mu took a deep breath: "Okay, I understand."

Xia Mu looked around and snorted coldly:

"Hokage-sama, I want to see the appointment letter of the honorary elder before tomorrow."

After saying that, he helped Itachi and turned around to leave.

I didn’t even say hello to a few people.

The third generation watched Natsuki disappear.

Then I let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I didn't really break my skin.

"Orochimaru, you are taking too many risks."

Sandai looked at the two coffins. Needless to say, he knew who was in the coffins.

Orochimaru's tongue stuck out and turned around: "Are you taking risks?"

Then he raised his fingers.

Bang, bang...

The coffin lid is opened.

Sandai was shocked and was about to say something.

Only to find that the coffin was empty.

"Orochimaru you!?"

Sandai broke into a cold sweat.

Orochimaru actually cheated!

"Aren't you afraid that Xia Mu will break up completely?"

The Third Hokage asked.

Orochimaru chuckled:

"Aren't there still you guys? Even if I perform the Earth Reincarnation on the spot, I still have enough time."

Everything is over now, and it’s hard for the Third Hokage to say anything about Orochimaru.

The third generation found that Orochimaru did not summon the first and second generations at will, but he felt a little satisfied, feeling that Orochimaru still had some bottom lines.

When the Third Hokage still wanted to say something to Kakashi.

The green barrier outside suddenly disappeared.

"Old man, you have to prepare another laboratory for me."

Saying that, Orochimaru left the messy scene to the Third Hokage and left calmly.

"Kakashi."

Seeing Orochimaru leaving, the Third Hokage turned to Kakashi and said:

"Don't take Xiamu's words seriously. White Fang's death was indeed an accident."

The three representatives are sincere, and it is true at first glance.

Kakashi raised his eyelids and said in a low voice, "I believe you, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi said he believed it, but the Third Hokage noticed from Kakashi's expression that Kakashi must have a grudge.

"Lord Hokage, my eyes will be cloned soon. I'm going to find Lord Orochimaru first."

Saying that, without waiting for Sandai to speak, he hurried to find Orochimaru.

The Third Hokage stared at Kakashi's back for a long time.

…

Kakashi caught up with Orochimaru.

"Kakashi, today's mission was completed well."

Orochimaru said as he took Kakashi to his other makeshift laboratory.

Yes, it was Orochimaru who asked Kakashi to take Itachi hostage at the critical moment.

Kakashi didn't want Uchiha to fight with the village. Although it was a bit disgraceful to attack Itachi, Kakashi still did it.

Kakashi thought about what happened before and hesitated to speak.

Orochimaru looked Kakashi over.

"Just say what you want to say."

Kakashi calmed down and asked: "Lord Orochimaru, is there really a ninjutsu that can summon the dead?"

Orochimaru said: "The Second Hokage invented a forbidden technique called the Reincarnation of the Earth."

"The souls of long-dead ninjas can be summoned back to the human world and resurrected in physical form."

Kakashi's heart trembled: "Then, what are the conditions required?"

Orochimaru snorted: "I advise you not to think about this technique. The reason why the Reincarnation of the Earth is a forbidden technique."

"It's because the conditions for performing this technique are part of the deceased's body and a living life."

There was obvious unwillingness on Kakashi's face, and he hesitated to speak.

"I know what you want to ask."

"Your father's suicide was caused by Danzo, but the old man seems to have condoned it."

"But the old man probably didn't expect that your father would just commit suicide."

Kakashi looked at Orochimaru, his eyes full of defeat.

Orochimaru stretched out his tongue and swept around:

"Whether it's today's matter or your father's matter, you need to have enough strength and authority to intervene in it."

"Look at Xia Mu, he has strength and authority, so the old man can only give in."

"And you, even if Danzo is in front of you, you don't have the ability to kill him."

"If you were as strong as Natsuki, the old man would kidnap Danzo back and admit his mistake in front of you."

"With your talent and hard work, it is only a matter of time before you surpass White Fang."

"But what have you been doing all these years?"

As he spoke, Orochimaru shook his head, seeming to be disappointed with Kakashi.

"What a pity, Kakashi, you never understood."

"In this world, strength speaks for itself after all."

After listening to Orochimaru's words.

Kakashi's eyes gradually became firmer!
