Chapter 188: Collecting cards is addictive, but fun.
To be honest, the value of Tianguo is not great, but it is still worth some money.
Even if Orochimaru doesn't offer up the Land of Rice Fields on his own initiative, he will take it over when necessary.
After all, integrating all the effects was a necessary step in his original plan.
But now that Orochimaru has offered himself up, why shouldn't he accept it?
Moreover, more than accepting the gift from the Land of Fields, he was curious about Orochimaru's purpose in coming to see him.
"Alright, Orochimaru, since you're so kind, I'll accept the gift. But as I've repeatedly emphasized, I'm a businessman. Now that I've accepted the gift, tell me your request."
Tetsuya didn't mince words; he treated Orochimaru's visit like a business transaction. He offered his price, and now it was up to Orochimaru to decide what kind of product he wanted.
If the request is reasonable, then Tetsuya will naturally agree.
Of course, if Orochimaru wants something that costs more than what he offers, then he will naturally raise the price.
"Hehehe, as expected, it's really refreshing to talk to Mr. Chiba."
Orochimaru licked his lips, looking somewhat excited.
"What I'm asking for isn't excessive, Mr. Chiba. Cell phones and cell towers are things that have never appeared in this ninja world before. To be honest, I've also bought one of those things called cell phones to disassemble and study. The internal structure is very interesting."
"Oh, so you mean you want to get information about cell phones and cell towers from me?"
Orochimaru nodded.
"Yes, I am very interested in these things; they contain knowledge that I have never known before."
As he spoke, he made no attempt to hide the longing in his eyes.
"I see. So, you want to visit our Grass Country's mobile phone R&D department, is that right?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid that won't work."
"Really? I can pay more."
"Well, it's not about whether you pay more or not. If you go, you probably won't leave alive."
Tetsuya shrugged, a playful smile on his face.
He usually won't say no to someone who offers to pay more.
However, this time the situation is a bit special.
"Is that right?"
Orochimaru paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.
"I understand. The Second Hokage is handling the current mobile phone development work, right?"
"I just enjoy chatting with smart people."
Tetsuya smiled and then took out a sealing scroll that he had prepared long ago.
"However, I have something else here that I'm sure you'll like, but the price... what you've already given might not be enough. I wonder if you could give me a little more?"
"One Country of Fields isn't enough?"
Orochimaru's initial disappointment vanished, replaced by excitement.
"Hehehe, it really makes me curious what kind of thing it is that could make Mr. Chiba offer such a high price."
May I inspect the goods first?
"of course."
Tetsuya directly broke the seal on the scroll on the open ground next to him.
Suddenly, a white humanoid creature appeared on the ground.
This is the White Zetsu that Tetsuya captured a long time ago, but now Tetsuya has sealed away its five senses and six consciousnesses, turning it into a living corpse.
"Roar! What an interesting thing, a creature I've never seen before."
Orochimaru immediately became interested. His main research area was the various bloodline limits in the ninja world, so he had seen all sorts of people whose appearances were peculiar because of their bloodline limits.
However, this was the first time Orochimaru had ever seen someone like the guy that the sage had brought out.
"Mr. Chiba, may I take a closer look at this guy?"
"of course can."
Tetsuya wasn't concerned that Orochimaru might take the opportunity to collect some cells or tissues. Orochimaru was a smart man; such petty actions were completely unnecessary.
With Tetsuya's permission, Orochimaru stepped forward and carefully examined the White Zetsu.
The more Orochimaru studied it, the more excited he became.
"Interesting, truly fascinating! How can such a wondrous creature exist in this world, Spalashi!"
Orochimaru excitedly licked his lips.
"So? Is this worth raising the price a little more?"
“It’s worth it, of course it’s worth it. I see a lot of potential in this guy.”
After just a quick look, Orochimaru was incredibly excited. He wished he could take the guy back to his lab and examine him thoroughly from head to toe, inside and out.
"Mr. Chiba, name your price."
"Great, I won't ask you for more. You should be preparing to establish a village now, right?"
"Yes, I plan to establish a ninja village, and it's already in the planning stages."
Orochimaru then spoke up.
"I understand. How about this, I still have a use for the ninja village for now. After my plan is completed, everything about the ninja village in the Land of Rice Fields will be handed over to Boss Chiba, how about that?"
"The entire ninja village?"
Tetsuya smacked his lips twice, then nodded.
"Okay, but I need to add one more condition."
"Isn't that enough? Mr. Chiba is really greedy, but what you gave me is indeed worth the price."
Orochimaru smiled and didn't object to Tetsuya's further price increase.
"So, Mr. Chiba, is there anything else you'd like?"
"VIP."
"VIP?"
"That's right. After you finish your so-called Konoha Crush plan, I, the Land of Grass, will take Kabuto Yakushi, Kimimaro Kaguya, Suigetsu Hozuki, and Jugo."
Upon hearing these names, Orochimaru was taken aback for a moment, then sighed.
"As expected of Boss Chiba, I didn't even reveal these people to you. I didn't expect you to know about them."
"Hehe, don't underestimate a businessman's intelligence network."
He says he shouldn't underestimate a businessman's intelligence network, but in reality, Tetsuya knows all of this from reading manga.
These are all talented individuals. Kabuto Yakushi, needless to say, accomplished what Orochimaru couldn't, successfully mastering the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave.
Kimimaro has bloodstain disease, but it is not incurable. If he is cured, his future achievements will be limitless.
As for Suigetsu and Jugo, Tetsuya felt that he would definitely try to recruit Sasuke in the future, and if possible, recruiting a few more Uchiha clan members wouldn't be a problem either.
With Xiangling already here, we can form a Grass Country version of the Hawk Squad.
After all, most of the characters in the main story have already been born, and Tetsuya's collecting obsession kicked in.
I always want to try to build bonds whenever I have the chance, just like collecting cards. It's addictive, but I find it fun.
