Chapter 136: What Kind of Habit Is It to Always Run Here to Sleep, Sasuke!

Finally sent him off…

Orochimaru watched the crow's departing figure, stroking Hidan's hair. It was unknown what he was thinking in his heart, but Hidan, beside him, was somewhat apprehensive.

The young man from the Land of Hot Water couldn't understand the crow's caws, but he could roughly understand that the man before him had just protected him, "Lord Orochimaru, I will work hard to earn money..."

However, the astronomical figure of ten million ryo made the young man's newly mustered courage deflate, and his mood gradually became downcast, "Can you please not drive me away..."

"Ha, nothing of the sort. It's not because of you." Orochimaru chuckled lightly, squatting down to look at Hidan, "Money is just a number. Besides, you were just an add-on to our transaction."

"Why make this transaction?"

"There are many reasons."

The pair of bizarre snake-like pupils were filled with confidence. Orochimaru didn't hold back in his explanation, "We can obtain a lot of intelligence through the transaction, which can make our future life more stable, and we can also have a strong individual who can be used in various ways."

"Is that crow that terrifying?"

"Mm, take the thing you fear most and multiply it by a hundred, and it will become the appearance of that crow." Orochimaru thought for a moment and continued, "When you grow up, take the thing you despise most and subtract it by a hundred, and that is also its appearance."

Hidan nodded with a look of partial understanding, "Oh."

Seeing a certain crow joyfully leaving with two scrolls, and after confirming it was safe, a certain woman shamelessly jumped down from the rooftop.

"I didn't expect things to be resolved like this!" A hint of doubt appeared in Konan's eyes, "That crow, how come it feels a bit like Kakuzu..."

"Heh heh heh heh... Yes!"

Orochimaru didn't know what expression to make. Even though Konan had just fled and completely disregarded his life or death, he seemed to have no choice but to forgive her…

"The biggest gain from this transaction with that crow was somewhat unexpected! Its stance is not consistent with that of Konoha ninjas... It seems I can have another source of intelligence."

"Then congratulations to you."

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, as if recalling every detail of their transaction, then suddenly shook his head, "The moment you fled, Konan, I was somewhat surprised. It didn't even react much, as if it had already determined you would abandon your comrade."

The woman raised an eyebrow doubtfully, "What do you mean? Are you accusing me of suddenly fleeing in the face of battle?"

"No! I've been in the Akatsuki for about half a year. It's not uncommon for conflicts to arise among the members, or for internal strife to suddenly break out..." Orochimaru said with a hidden meaning, "Don't you find anything strange?"

Konan's heart beat erratically, "Nonsense! Didn't you just say here that the crow knows many secrets of the ninja world?"

However, Orochimaru was a genuine scientist. When conducting scientific research, the most important thing was to dare to question. Moreover, he was quite knowledgeable about the intelligence of the three great Sage lands.

He didn't believe that kind of foolish talk about being born with knowledge. It was nothing more than gathering intelligence through some special means. Assuming that crow had lived as long as that giant toad from Mount Myoboku, but liked to move around more than that old thing... wouldn't it also be able to gather a lot of intelligence?

Orochimaru chose not to continue following Konan's topic, because his speculation couldn't be confirmed. Besides, his purpose... was only for another person in the organization.

His topic suddenly changed, "Ha, after you all went to the Land of Rice Paddies for the first time, I once returned to Konoha to get something, but ended up encountering a Konoha rogue ninja who was a Flying Thunder God user..."

"I know."

Konan nodded with an unusual expression.

"Mr. Orochimaru, are you willing to help the organization raise funds?" Konan's tone suddenly became unprecedentedly gentle, "You seem to have a great talent in this area!"

Seeing Konan's expression, the man remembered a certain blonde, violent female partner of his asking him for money... It seemed that women in the ninja world generally used the same method in this regard.

A look of nostalgia appeared on Orochimaru's face, then he said resoundingly, "Impossible! This will delay a lot of my experimental research time!"

Some lessons only need to be learned once! Did they really think he was doing charity?

Konan thought for a moment and proposed a trade-off, "In return, I will have people in the organization help you find orphans with Kekkei Genkai or special secret techniques, and can even help you collect the remains of powerful ninjas..."

"Heh heh heh heh... Deal."

The commercial street of the Land of Hot Water.

"First, we've been out on a mission for a long time. Mom and Dad must miss us very much. If they know we could have returned to the village but are still lingering here, they will be disappointed..."

"Second, Lady Tsunade's return to Konoha will still be troublesome. We must discuss this matter with Teacher Jiraiya immediately. Because Lord Raikage has already promised to send people to escort her back, we don't have much time left."

"There's one more thing. Most places in the Land of Hot Water don't welcome you and Lady Tsunade. Even if we continue to play here, we won't be too happy."

Seeing the crow nod, Uchiha Itachi wiped the sweat from his brow. He had finally managed to stop the crow from continuing to stay in the Land of Hot Water.

Because of the sudden large sum of money, Kitahara had planned to spend a leisurely vacation.

After the youth's careful persuasion, the crow was willing to spend the money on improving the Land of Fire's GDP. The Land of Hot Water was indeed not as good as Konoha; not everyone could accept a crow being so carefree.

Moreover, the youth's strength had reached a bottleneck. After returning to Konoha and reporting the mission, he should set aside some time for cultivation and development of Sage Art.

After solving this problem, on the matter of how to return home, Uchiha Itachi had a different opinion, "Do we really have to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go back directly?"

The crow looked at its own cub doubtfully, "Caw?"

Didn't you say you missed Fugaku and Mikoto? This is the fastest way!

In the blink of an eye, they could appear in Itachi's room... On the pillow of the crow's small bed, there was a Flying Thunder God seal.

"If we go back just like that, Dad and Mom will be very troubled!" The youth scratched his head. He could already imagine his father's expression.

"...Caw!"

Why think so much!

The cub is always thinking ahead and wanting to consider everything thoroughly...

This matter of the Flying Thunder God Technique, a certain reanimated person from the Land of Waves can totally take responsibility for it! Anyway, after Tsunade returns to Konoha, she will definitely come to ask them.

Kitahara reached out a claw and hooked Itachi's shoulder, instantly activating the Flying Thunder God Technique. The destination was precisely Konoha.

In Itachi's room, a little cub who was tossing and turning on his brother's bed, unable to sleep, widened his eyes, looking at the person who had suddenly appeared before him.

"...Brother!"

The little cub on the bed flipped over, jumped up in pleasant surprise, and hung himself entirely on Itachi!

Kitahara looked doubtfully at the pouncing creature, "Caw?"

Sasuke's gaze slowly moved, settling on his brother's shoulder. His eyes rolled around, and he stuck out his tongue, "Caw!"

This provocative gesture…

This mocking gaze…

The crow's sharp beak suddenly opened, and it pecked at Sasuke, flapping its wings. Little brat, you don't want to live, do you!

Sasuke, on the side, showed no weakness, grabbing the crow's wings with both hands!

Uchiha Itachi desperately pulled the two little things apart, "Calm down! Kitahara, you sleep here! Sasuke, I'll take you back to your own room..."
