Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

What Orochimaru couldn't stand the most was the hypocritical kindness taught by the Third Generation.

Chi Qing's kindness seemed ridiculous in his eyes, but it didn't strike Orochimaru as hypocritical.

But their relationship is just mutually beneficial, and each gets what it needs.

The cells in Chi Qing's blood have enabled Orochimaru to achieve unprecedented breakthroughs in scientific research.

He was so addicted to it that he hadn't left the cave for a long time.

Also because it lasted longer than usual, important experimental materials ran out.

There has indeed been no news from Chi Qing recently, and Orochimaru is getting impatient, so...

He planned to "go back" in person.

As for the Uchiha blind man that Chi Qing had left here, Orochimaru took out a few scrolls and threw them to Uchiha Shisui: "I don't keep idle people here."

Shisui didn't react for a moment, "What?"

"The deal that Lord Koike and I made was to give you a place to stay, but the rest isn't free." Although Orochimaru is very wealthy, the money he spends to maintain the experiments is not small.

It’s fine if the other experimental subjects were brought back by myself, but the ones that Chi Qing placed here require “payment”.

For example, Uzumaki Karin, who has been out for a month.

"Of course, you can also choose to leave now." Orochimaru smiled and said, "Given my friendship with Xiaochi Qing, I don't care about your recent consumption here."

Shisui: "..."

As the strongest fighter of the Uchiha clan, Shisui enjoys very good benefits in the clan, and the amount of money he saves from each mission is not small.

If it were before, he would have been able to afford the "accommodation fee".

but now!

All his property was placed in the Uchiha, and he was penniless.

He really wanted to leave here immediately, but he had nowhere else to go.

It was even more impossible to return to Konoha in the current awkward situation.

So now he could only compromise: "I understand." Shisui clenched the scroll in his hand: "I'll get ready and leave."

"I will not be in the base for this period of time. You can do whatever you want." After saying this, Orochimaru did not stay any longer.

Shiro caught up to Shisui, "Shisui-kun, your partners for this mission are Kimimaro and I."

"Can we meet in the training room in an hour?"

"Okay." Shisui had no objection. Ninja characters were supposed to work in teams, even though the mission this time was just to collect herbs.

But collecting herbs is really disadvantageous for him now.

He can sense enemies lurking around him, but he can't see what the grass looks like at his feet...

after an hour.

The three of them gathered in the training room, and under the guidance of the two, Shisui took many twists and turns before reaching the exit.

Kimimaro was a man of few words and he said less than ten words in total along the way.

Bai held the scroll and explained to Shisui in detail the content of the mission, as well as the "extra income" he and Kimimaro would make.

Shisui: "Bounty mission?"

"Yes, after all, we will leave here eventually, so we need to save some for later." Speaking of leaving, Bai's face was filled with longing: "I have always been looking forward to the day when I can live with Mr. Chi."

"Yeah." Kimimaro, who had been silent all this time, suddenly agreed.

Speaking of living with Chi Qing, to be honest, Shisui is also looking forward to it.

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Danzo stood in front of the Third Hokage with a gloomy face: "He has now colluded with the evil Uchiha! A few years ago, I asked you to send him to the Root, but you softened your heart because you thought he was the only brother left by Minato!"

Danzo slammed his hand on the Sandaime's desk "If he dares to hook up with the Uchiha now, he will dare to rebel with the Uchiha later!"

……

Awaited!
