Chapter 135: Plans and Arrangements (3rd update)

This is not a one-time deal.

It's not a one-and-done deal.

Menma had already said it at the beginning. He came to contact Orochimaru as a collaborator. Menma needs Orochimaru, and Orochimaru, from the current point of view, also needs Menma very much, not to mention Menma. The breaking information that can be produced at any time and at any time is a huge wealth in itself.

Of course, the relationship between the two is more appropriate to use each other than cooperation, just like the relationship between Orochimaru and Danzo, but compared to Danzo, Orochimaru will feel more numb. 'Suitable' for yourself, this 'suitable' also refers to all aspects of issues.

However, what Orochimaru didn't know was that Menma simply regarded him as the nutrient that nourished the land.

Before he has fully grown up and mastered a certain degree of power, Menma needs someone to provide him with all help, including but not limited to manpower, material resources, financial resources, intelligence, etc.

This is why Menma actually didn't have many choices after he decided to leave Konoha.

Of course there are more than one people and places with resources, but those places and people all have problems of varying degrees, and Menma is very worried.

Only Orochimaru, a guy who is absolutely not hypocritical in some aspects, is the most suitable for him.

‘Let you become the most important stepping stone in my plan, Orochimaru-san, either I will be swallowed up by you, or you will completely become my pawn! ’

Menma looked at Orochimaru who was close at hand. Under his seemingly peaceful appearance, his heart was full of coldness.

"Then, I would like to ask Tuosang to provide the things recorded in the scroll just now. By the way, I also need a relatively large open space and room. Please prepare these things as well. "

Menma looked at Kabuto Yakushi and said calmly.

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured Menma-kun, it will be ready within three days. As for the open space, I will immediately arrange for people to vacate the training ground on the far right side of the base. There happens to be one there. Menma-kun can use the laboratory freely. Look, is this okay?"

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said with a smile.

"Well, of course you can. I feel at ease with Tousou-san's work. So, I will be rude today. Orochimaru-san will take good care of his injuries. If you need anything, you can call me at any time, Orochimaru-san."

After Menma said these last 'kind' words.

He just turned around and left directly.

Xianglin hurriedly kept up, and the two of them strode out of the dim house.

And that was after the figures of Men and Ma disappeared completely.

Orochimaru's expression also darkened instantly.

"Kabuto, based on the content above, we will first conduct an initial investigation and arrange for our people to contact Danzo again. Some necessary information must be clarified in the shortest possible time. Do you understand!?"

Orochimaru looked at Yakushi Kabuto with a gloomy look on his face, and said in a cold voice.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, but there was a message from Danzo before. Shouldn't we respond to it?"

Yakushi Kabuto first nodded and answered, then he hesitated and spoke as if he thought of something.

Danzo is a man of his word.

Just after the Konoha Collapse Plan ended, and when he learned that Menma had defected and left with Orochimaru, he directly ordered the people at the root to contact Orochimaru as soon as possible and bring his orders there.

This is a completely condescending attitude.

Not to mention Orochimaru, Yakushi Kabuto and his subordinates like Orochimaru didn't buy it at all.

Ignoring it is completely normal.

But now the situation seems to be slightly different.

Kabuto Yakushi naturally needed to seek the opinion of his boss.

And this still involves the issue of Menma. The current Yakushi Kabuto is not the quasi-BOSS character in the later stage.

"Oh, you don't need to pay attention to him about that aspect of the matter. Just contact him through normal channels. It's impossible for that old guy to really fall out. He still needs me."

Orochimaru smiled coldly and said with a hint of disdain.

"Well, wait a minute. Let's give him the thing we agreed to before in advance. Tell him that the experiment has reached the final stage and will be completed in the near future."

Then, he seemed to think of something again.

After Orochimaru frowned, he continued to speak.

"yes."

After Yakushi Kabuto nodded, he planned to leave.

"Also, Tsunade, continue to send more people to search. If you have any news, tell me immediately."

Even with Menma's early disclosure of information, Orochimaru could lock in the real way to remove the corpse-sealing technique, but after all, it was still Menma's words, and there was no trust between them at all. As a normal person, you need to make more necessary preparations in advance.

His former teammate Tsunade is currently the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world. It is impossible for Orochimaru not to give it a try, and he also has a confident bargaining chip to impress Tsunade.

"I understand, Orochimaru-sama."

Yakushi Kabuto naturally understood his master Orochimaru's plan, and immediately nodded heavily and replied.

‘Uzumaki Menma, interesting, really interesting, let me see what your real intention is and how far you can go. ’

A hint of coldness appeared in Orochimaru’s snake pupils, and he whispered in his heart.

It should be said that since Orochimaru defected from Konoha, he has indeed spent a lot of effort to build his own power, which can be easily reflected in the preparation of materials.

Going alone, or like Zabuza, a rebel ninja with only one subordinate, Haku, if you want to obtain some resources, you still have to do it yourself, but Orochimaru is different. With a slight wave of his hand, it cannot be said that all resources can be obtained, but some basic materials and supplies are not less.

The necessary items listed in Menma’s scroll.

It took only a little more than a day to prepare.

After seeing these supplies, Menma also became more determined in his inner thoughts.

‘Sure enough, I still need to implement that plan, and I have to speed up the pace. The goal, just choose that one! ! ’

Menma looked at the series of special materials and some necessary materials piled up in the room, and a hint of contemplation appeared in his pupils, thinking silently in his heart.

Being strong is one thing.

Having the necessary forces under his command is another.

At least the collection of intelligence and materials will become very easy.

Of course, he can't start from scratch like Orochimaru, because he only has three years left!
