"?"
Hinata hidden under the mask let out a light sigh.
Orochimaru's behavior subverted his inherent impression of the former.
In his mind, Orochimaru has always been the image of a cold-faced boss. In addition to Jie Jie, Orochimaru's words are more of a philosophy of life, the kind that can see through the world and illusions.
Otherwise, there would not have been so many loyal subordinates deceived.
Even after Orochimaru's death, there was still a character like Kabuto who inherited Orochimaru's will.
More importantly, Orochimaru, who was able to set up bases all over the ninja world and even build a ninja village by himself, actually said the word "credit" in front of him.
After being silent for a long time, Hinata Zou said: "If you don't have cash on you, ninjutsu secrets and props and puppets are not impossible, but I refuse to pay on credit."
As soon as this statement came out, the originally tense atmosphere was relieved.
Orochimaru's eyes wandered to Beilihu and Xia. He couldn't let him pay this money, at least not. He was just an innocent bystander.
After being stared at by Orochimaru for a long time, Beiruhu said to Hinata Zang: "There is a secret technique to transform psychic beasts here. It is a kind of forbidden technique. I don't know how much it is worth..."
Orochimaru flashed in front of him and quickly signaled to Beiruhu to stop talking.
He is also quite covetous of Beiliuhu's technology to fuse and transform psychic beasts, which can provide him with new ideas.
Biting his finger, he took out a storage scroll from the viper's body. Orochimaru threw it forward and said: "It contains chakra metal, which has good chakra conduction ability and is worth about seven million..."
Hyugazo accepted the scroll, opened it directly, and after checking it, confirmed that it was chakra metal.
This type of metal can be considered a strategic material, and it can be said that it has a price but no market on the black market.
Sure enough, Orochimaru is still Orochimaru, and Orochimaru's financial resources cannot be underestimated.
Although Orochimaru is no longer a high-level official in Konoha, the influence he once had still exists.
This chakra metal is about the size of a fist, which is enough to make short swords and daggers. He has been coveting Asuma's pair of chakra swords for a long time.
That guy, relying on his status as the second son of the Hokage, has a leisurely job and good equipment.
After putting away the chakra metal, Hinata looked dangerously and said, "The remaining three million are there. You don't want to default on your debt!"
"Of course not." Smiling, Orochimaru said: "After paying seven million, I can take Beiruhu away. I will leave that guy to you. In fact, I am not familiar with him..."
Orochimaru is not short of money, but the possibility of getting him to pay for Scorpio, who has always been unwilling to deal with, is extremely low.
From Beilihu's side, he could obtain information on transforming psychic beasts, but Scorpion did not give him any benefits.
To Orochimaru's move, Scorpio didn't react at all. He casually threw out a box of banknotes from the puppet beside him. The number alone was in the millions.
In front of several people, Hinata counted the banknotes and identified the authenticity before nodding.
This move made a few people in the Akatsuki organization look at him with admiration, but except for Bei Liuhu, the other two were not too surprised. There was a genius like Kakuzu in their organization.
"You can leave now." Hinata Zang waved his hand, looking unconcerned.
Looking at the calm Hinata, Orochimaru gave up all thoughts of sneak attacks. He wanted to test the results of the experiment, but he didn't want to cause more trouble.
Suddenly, Orochimaru turned around, flashed in front of Hinata, and asked, "Have you considered joining our organization? Money is not a problem."
Hinata shook his head slightly and said: "I don't intend to change my employer. This is professional ethics."
"Do bounty ninjas really have professional ethics?" Orochimaru thought to himself.
Betrayal of the employer, temporary change of targets, and whoever pays the highest price is the usual trick of bounty ninjas. This has to make Orochimaru curious about what kind of treatment the other employer gives.
As if he had sensed Orochimaru's thoughts, Hinata organized a pile of banknotes and said, "The main reason is that my employer gave me 20% of the shares. I am half the boss."
No wonder... Orochimaru suddenly understood everything. The other person in his relationship was his employer, and he hired himself.
As for why he understood it quickly, it was because he did it himself.
At that moment, knowing that he could not convince the other party, Orochimaru turned and left, saying before leaving: "Since you are not far away from joining us, temporary employment should be acceptable."
"Well..." Hinata Zang nodded and said: "I will think about it carefully, but this time the robber did not hurt my employees. Otherwise, even if you and the Red Sand Scorpion stopped me, I would find another opportunity.
Kill him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru turned around and saw Hinata Zou disappearing into the forest.
"What a weird guy. His blood inheritance seems to be more than just ice escape."
Muttering, Orochimaru jumped up to the treetops and followed Beiruhu and Red Sand Scorpion in front. They had fought not long ago and always kept a certain distance.
On the way, Beiruhu asked Orochimaru: "The organization should reimburse the previous money. If sufficient funds cannot be guaranteed for research, I choose to refuse."
Orochimaru nodded and said: "Don't worry, the organization is not short of the money. As for the previous money, it should be reimbursed."
Bei Liuhu looked happy and said, "Then, you don't have to pay the seven million..."
"It's not seven million..." Orochimaru shook his head slightly and said seriously: "In order to save you, I spent a total of twenty-seven million, all of which need to be reimbursed."
Beilihu glanced at Orochimaru, and he found the door to the new world.
He finally understood why Orochimaru became a rebellious ninja, why he still lived so well, and why he was the only one who was not valued by the Third Hokage during the ninja school.
It turns out that the original Konoha was in such a state of decay.
The figures of the three people gradually returned to Beilihu's lair. Hinata Zang on the nearby high ground withdrew his gaze and returned to the training base.
The moment he saw Orochimaru and Scorpion, he knew that he would not be able to obtain the Onimera Technique and other researched forbidden techniques from Beiruhu.
Beilihu, who joins the Akatsuki organization, will inevitably report his previous encounters to Akatsuki.
As a result, the base where Kisame and others are located is at risk and must be relocated.
The reason why he chose to appear in front of Orochimaru and Scorpion was also very simple. On the one hand, it was to test the strength of attribute chakra, and on the other hand, it was to declare his own strength and position.
Let Xiao Organization understand that he is only in it for money and has no essential conflict with Xiao Organization.
Avoid the trouble of being targeted by members of the Akatsuki organization again when members of the Chamber of Commerce are targeted.
The purpose of establishing my own chamber of commerce is to make money safely and steadily, and that has not changed until now.
