This was the report card he had handed in over the years.
"The main thing is to discuss the conditions that Konoha needs to propose when signing a truce agreement with Sunagakure, as well as the signing of truce agreements with Kumogakure and Kirigakure."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, his cloudy eyes scanning the room.
Finally, he paused on Minato Namikaze, "Minato, what's your opinion?"
Minato Namikaze first smiled humbly at everyone present, then pondered slightly before saying, "I think material compensation is secondary. The most important thing is the mission volume."
The income of a ninja village mainly comes from two parts.
One part is the military allocation from the Daimyo of the affiliated country, and the other part is the commission from each ninja's mission reward.
There is no conclusion as to which part is more important.
However, as soon as Minato Namikaze said this, he received the approval of almost everyone present.
This sentence alone demonstrated Minato Namikaze's political acumen.
Perhaps he is really suitable to be Hokage.
"Okay, let's continue to explore this point in depth..."
Qifeng sat in his seat, lost in thought.
...
...
On the other side.
The morgue.
Qifeng, who was lying on a rocking chair sunbathing, actually welcomed a remarkable figure in this morgue that no one wanted to approach.
Watching Orochimaru slowly crawl out of the snake's mouth, his body covered in sticky mucus, Qifeng's whole body felt like his hair was standing on end.
He sat up straight, gently patted his arm, smoothed the goosebumps, and then said, "Lord Orochimaru."
"Qifeng-kun."
Orochimaru licked his lips with a smile.
Looking at the wolfberry tea and cigarettes placed on the small wooden table next to the rocking chair, the smile on Orochimaru's face grew even wider.
"Qifeng-kun's life seems to be very comfortable."
Qifeng chuckled twice, "It's all thanks to Lord Orochimaru."
Before, Qifeng was indeed very afraid of Orochimaru. After all, he was a person with complex and meticulous thoughts, and he was ruthless in his actions. Getting along with him was not much different from getting along with a snake.
But now.
With strength, he also has confidence.
He wasn't flustered, but there was no need to fall out.
Orochimaru's gaze shifted, revealing a hint of coldness.
Qifeng was stunned.
Immediately, he saw Orochimaru return to his original state, gently licking his lips, and said: "It seems that Qifeng-kun's strength has improved a lot."
Noticing Orochimaru's behavior, Qifeng felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Damn it, Orochimaru was actually testing him, testing a Chunin like him, and the change was so fast that he didn't have time to react.
Any ordinary Chunin, when faced with the cold gaze produced by Orochimaru's countless killings, would definitely stiffen subconsciously, their brains would stop thinking, and some people might even collapse directly.
This is a powerful figure who has been on the battlefield since World War II, experienced countless fights, and survived life and death time and time again.
It is said that the aura of this kind of thing is illusory, but sometimes, it really exists.
He was just a mere Chunin, a corpse watcher, but Orochimaru actually took the trouble to test him. No wonder they say snakes have intuition.
Qifeng chuckled again, pretending to be stupid: "Lord Orochimaru, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand. I'm just a corpse collector..."
"You are very good at disguising."
He heard Orochimaru suddenly say, his eyes somewhat meaningful.
"Huh?"
"You are indeed very good at disguising, but there is one thing you have overlooked."
"What?"
"Smell."
Orochimaru didn't beat around the bush, walked up to Qifeng, and said with a smile: "I said long ago that we are the same kind of people, and as the same kind of people, the smell on you is too obvious."
Qifeng smelled himself suspiciously.
Apart from "handsome", he didn't smell anything.
"It's because you can't smell it yourself that you didn't notice it. The chemical smell and research smell on you are too strong."
Orochimaru said, licking his lips.
As soon as this sentence came out, Qifeng's expression completely froze.
I don't know if you are a snake, but your nose is really like a dog.
Facing the smiling Orochimaru, Qifeng's expression slowly subsided, and he stood up from the chair.
Now that he had been discovered, there was nothing to hide anymore. It was time to reveal his cards!
However, before he could speak, Orochimaru spoke again: "Don't bother trying to fool me with anything. I don't mind testing your strength here."
He really wasn't giving him any way out, was he?
Qifeng raised his head, stared at Orochimaru for a few seconds, and frowned.
This time, it might not necessarily be Orochimaru's main body that came.
But the current Orochimaru should no longer be prepared to make more contributions to Konoha, right?
After all, the person Hiruzen Sarutobi chose was not him.
After pondering for a moment, Qifeng nodded solemnly and said frankly: "That's right, I am doing some research."
Hearing this, Orochimaru showed an expression that said, "I knew it."
