Naruto: The Way of the Great Lord
Chapter 22 Laying the Foundation

"What should I do?" Orochimaru realized this boy in front of him had the knowledge and means to kill him whenever he wanted. So he just needs to grit his teeth and hope the conditions he gets are worth the trouble.

"Simple, I'd like you to continue your experiment. Not now but after the war I will create my own Village. You will gather Shinobi from any clan who are willing to join the village after I confirm that we can make it. In return I'll allow you to use the desired shinobi, Criminals, and prisoners of war as the subject of your experiments." Even if you hold all the cards, nothing will work without any rewards.Ol's Method of Carrots and Sticks. (A/N: I hate to use this analogy, but if it is not broken, do not fix it.)

Orochimaru was a little confused but then understood. 'Starting a village from scratch was no easy feat, he wanted to not only attract attention but use that attention to attract bad eggs then send them to me. Once they are sent to me, they will contribute to the village by continuing my research results.' Orochimaru found his condition acceptable and he really appreciated the child's mind."Also ...." when Ichizo said that he jumped into the Hole and started whispering in Orochimaru's ear, "I once found out about you taking again the eyes or the children of my clan. I promise you that father is not the scariest man in this land, I will make your life hell until you take your last breath." Orochimaru had never been placed in such a position in his entire life. He felt naked before this brat as if his mind could not be hidden and nothing could escape his peeping eyes.

"Tell Danzo that you will no longer give him your services. In the Rice Land where you created the Hidden Voice, all those Shinobi will be used to help me work out my plan." At this point, Orochimaru's last thoughts about the rebellion were extinguished, mentally shattered. His years of hard work and meticulous planning were uprooted in an instant, his laboratory, his experiments, and even his village. Exposed everything exposed.

"I'm also looking forward to our cooperation in the future." I said this and then jumped out of the hole, taking my apple bowl then sat at the entrance of the Courtyard and watched the hole carefully.A series of thoughts flowed down Orochimaru's head but unfortunately Ichizo covered all the bases and closed all the way back. Trying to escape was unlikely he would be hunted down and slaughtered like cattle with no way to defend himself. So she accepted her fate, she removed her skin and came out of the hole.

"Thank you for your kind-hearted attitude, Master!" Orochimaru bowed 90 degrees and said this with the most sincere tone he had ever used in his adult life. It was weird and gave me goosebumps, but I was able to respond to a good-natured comedian.

"Gather Shinobi from other villages as much as you can. Once everything is done and I make my Desa, I will reward you with a key that will grant you what you are looking for once you have completed my task. Don't disappoint my trust Orochimaru, now continue your normal duties." He bowed and left.

It will give me energy and it will quench Orochimaru's thirst for now. When everything was done on this side, it would be easier to start the village.I then got up to get inside the house, a transport bird flew overhead to deliver a message that stopped my steps. The message stated:

'Full authority to perform any task during the war that will block the enemy's path, It will save lives, time, and resources. Members of Anbu Hitotsu, Futatsu, and Mittsu are hereby granted full-time War authority to move within and outside the Fire Nation.'

the Third Hokage

'The Full Authority of Wartime, the Trust Level in that statement is unfathomable. We have only completed one mission, what will cause the Hokage to see our deeds with so many Beliefs?' As I was contemplating itachi, Shisui arrived and sat around me. I told them about the Hokage's message and we started making our war plans."The Ground Grass would likely be the main focal point of the battle." Itachi said first of all sip the tea the waiter brought as a drink.

"Yes, I agree. Do you think this war will only involve the Fire Nation and the Earth Land?" Shisui added while imitating Itachi's actions.

"The other Three Great Nations will not remain silent due to the fact that the surrounding countries consider the power of the Great Nation to have declined due to the constant conflict." I said while eating wine like fruit. "Also because the Hidden Leaf has the Largest Shinobi Village, it is likely that we will be the target of all fronts." I then added.

"Hmm, I think it is true that we have never had good relations with other Nations in the Past. They may all take this opportunity to weaken us to improve their position among the 5 Great Nations." Shisui said After asking for another cup of tea.

"So why don't we move from one battlefield to another to reduce the tension on our Shinobi while increasing the Pressure on other Nations who will eventually join the war." Itachi surprisingly suggested what I would suggest.

"Yes, I agree Itachi will allow us to make a name for ourselves in all Nations while also maintaining the safety of the Village. Fame is an important aspect that will help as we lay the foundation for a new Village."

"How many days are left until the invasion begins?"

"2."

"So we have to go now." I sighed and took my Mask, Shisui already had it and so did Itachi. When we are done, we leave for the Land of Grass, the War will begin soon
