Chapter 245: The war has been going on for 2 years, Konoha is 45 years old
Hoshino Kaede smiled slightly and gestured for him to sit down first. Orochimaru didn't hesitate and sat directly opposite him.
Then, Xingye Feng said, "You want my cells for research?"
"For my ideal." Orochimaru spoke concisely and directly, not treating Hoshino Kaede as an outsider at all.
"Immortality?" Hoshino Kaede couldn't help but say it, looking at Orochimaru. From his pale face, he showed his rock-hard persistence as always.
Orochimaru knew that any disguise would be useless in front of this person, so he did not retreat and looked at him directly.
After a long time, Xingye Feng chuckled, with unclear emotions in his deep eyes. After a few seconds, he stood up and walked into the house.
Orochimaru sipped the hot tea and waited patiently.
A moment later, Xingye Feng came out with a few glass bottles filled with bright blood in his hands.
Orochimaru looked at the glass bottle, the strange color in his eyes was so strong that it was about to overflow. If he hadn't been suppressing the impulse in his heart, he would have collapsed long ago.
"Your blood... is really... strange..." Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a strong light, and there was some excitement in his tone.
Under the bright sunlight, the blood in the glass bottle reveals a golden glow, adding a touch of mystery.
Hoshino Kaede sat down and placed the glass bottle on the table in front of her, but she did not intend to give it to Orochimaru immediately.
Seeing this, Orochimaru smiled and said, "What do you want?"
He is determined to get it no matter what the cost.
After saying this, Xingye Feng raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him with appreciation: "You react very quickly. In that case, I'll just say it straight."
"Without you, Konoha's technological development will be very slow, so my condition is... In the next 20 years, you need to continue to develop technology for Konoha's livelihood."
Hearing this, Orochimaru thought about it for a moment and agreed: "Okay."
It's just twenty years. Once there is a breakthrough in research, the time lost can be made up.
Besides, he didn't betray the village and was still a ninja of Konoha, so he made some contributions to Konoha's research.
After getting the answer, Hoshino Kaede handed the glass bottle to Orochimaru and reminded him: "You have seen my cells, they are different from those of ordinary people."
"It's more active than the teacher's. Be careful and don't waste it."
Looking at the almost golden blood in his hand, Orochimaru nodded silently, then carefully put it away - and swallowed it in one gulp.
The corner of Xingye Feng's mouth twitched, and he held his forehead helplessly and said: "Orochimaru, you..."
He stopped talking halfway, and finally Xingye Feng sighed deeply, then waved his hand: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"When you leave, remember to check on Jiraiya and Tsunade."
Hearing this, Orochimaru suddenly asked, "Are they not together yet?"
Xingye Feng made a riddle and said, "Soon, it will happen in the next few years."
After listening to this, Orochimaru chuckled and murmured softly, "It's good."
After saying this, he walked out silently. He came quietly and left quietly.
Then, everything became quiet. Hoshino Kaede lay leisurely on the chair, his body swaying slightly.
He thought the world was quiet and he could have a good nap, but before he could close his eyes for a minute, something happened again.
The visitor was the familiar Hatake Sakumo, who said as soon as he entered the room: "Third generation, don't sleep, I want to discuss something with you."
Helplessly, Xingye Feng sat up, his face looking speechless, and even with a hint of resentment.
"If you have something to say, tell me now. If it's not important, I'll beat you up."
In the entire Konoha, only Kaede Hoshino dares to say this to the current Hokage.
If it were anyone else, Sakumo would have hit you head-on with the sword and cut you into eight pieces. Of course, this is an exception for the first generation, because he couldn't beat him.
"After half a year of purge, all the old nobles in the capital have been investigated. The crimes they committed are shocking!"
"Nearly 90% of the nobles have killed people, and some even have hundreds of people killed."
Xingye Feng opened his eyelids and glanced at him: "So, you want to kill them all and put an end to it all?"
After he finished speaking, Shuomao actually nodded affirmatively, with a murderous intent surging from his body: "They are all a bunch of parasites, it would be better to kill them."
"These people own nearly 70% of the capital's wealth. It would take hundreds of trucks to transport it all to Konoha. They deserve to be killed!"
Hearing this, Xingye Feng shook his head and disagreed with his words: "It is indeed easier and more convenient for you to kill him, but this involves thousands of lives, which is a bit too cruel."
Shuo Mao hesitated and said, "But, if we don't kill him, what else can we do?"
Xingye Feng smiled and said, "For those nobles who live a life of luxury, we can confiscate all their property, then pick out some of the most heinous people and execute them. You will know what to do after that."
Hearing this idea, Shuo Mao's eyes lit up: "Good idea, this way, we can both deter people and ensure stability."
As expected of a third generation man, he solved his worries with just a few words.
After finalizing this matter, Shuo Mao brought up another matter: "Regarding the establishment of a regular school, when do you think it would be a good time to start?"
Hearing this, Xingye Feng shook his head: "This is something you decided, don't ask me about everything, otherwise what's the point of having you as the Hokage."
"Normal schools are imperative. You can figure it out on your own. That's it. You can leave."
Hearing these blatant words of expulsion, Sakumo opened his mouth, but only saw Hoshino Kaede waving his hand and starting to expel him.
Helplessly, Shuo Mao had to leave, and began to think about the date when the school would open.
"Sakumo has a good idea, but he's a little too hasty." Hoshino Kaede closed his eyes slightly and only started to comment after the person walked away.
"It is a taboo to start preparing for the next task before the war is over."
"The premise for the implementation of all policies is that Konoha is stable and peaceful, and the priorities cannot be reversed."
"Shuomao still needs to calm down. Different positions mean different things. You need to think twice before you act."
After saying that, Xingye Feng seemed to have fallen asleep, snoring softly and falling into a dream.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and Konoha has been in existence forty-fifth year.
The ninja world is still in the midst of war. It has been two years since the war began, and the situation is generally stable.
But careful and perceptive people have discovered that this stability is extremely fragile and can be shattered at the slightest touch, and a large-scale war could break out at any time.
In fact, this is indeed the case. After Kumogakure and Iwagakure, Kirigakure began to become restless.
Compared to the other two villages, Kirigakure was relatively stable. There was no major battle at all, only local fights.
Konoha was also very confused about this, but did not slack off. Instead, he was alert just in case.
