Chapter 317 - 315 Uchiha Hikari nodded reluctantly

"But... but... alright, I understand."

Uchiha Hikari nodded reluctantly. She knew very well that if she wasn't yet 18, Orochimaru wouldn't lay a hand on her no matter what.

"If it were during the Warring States Period, children my age would already have had..."

Uchiha Hikari muttered unhappily.

"Unfortunately, it's impossible for women to have children with each other under normal circumstances."

Orochimaru held Uchiha Hikari's hand and continued walking.

"Under abnormal circumstances... Ah!"

Uchiha Hikari thought of Orochimaru's research, which indeed could allow women to have children with each other.

"Then, after I turn 18, I want to have a child for Orochimaru!"

Uchiha Hikari hugged Orochimaru's arm, her big black eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

"Unfortunately, I don't really like children, so I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Hikari."

Orochimaru gently tapped Uchiha Hikari's head, having to deliver this disappointing news to her.

"Why? Orochimaru, you're so good at taking care of people, and you're so gentle and considerate..."

Uchiha Hikari was very surprised. She had fallen in love with Orochimaru precisely because of her meticulous care.

"Hikari, being good at taking care of people is different from liking children; don't confuse the two."

Orochimaru pinched Uchiha Hikari's cheek.

At Training Ground No. 0, as they just walked in, a tiger's roar was heard, and a huge, orange-yellow tiger with unusually beautiful markings rushed out of the forest.

Uchiha Hikari's eyes activated the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and the fierce tiger instantly turned into a docile kitten, rolling on the ground.

"Hikari, your movements are so fast!"

Orochimaru was about to use genjutsu to subdue the fierce tiger, but Uchiha Hikari's Sharingan genjutsu was clearly much faster than hers.

"Genjutsu, I'm still quite good at it."

Uchiha Hikari showed a happy smile.

"I've caused you trouble."

The Root Ninja responsible for caring for the rare beasts in Training Ground No. 0 rushed over. Seeing the tiger rolling on the ground and Orochimaru and Uchiha Hikari nearby, he quickly jumped down from the tree branch.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'm very sorry for causing you trouble!"

"It's nothing."

Orochimaru led Uchiha Hikari into the Root base, moving unimpeded. No one dared to stop her, even with Uchiha Hikari by her side.

"Orochimaru, you're here."

Danzo Shimura looked at Orochimaru as she pushed open the door and walked in, then glanced at Uchiha Hikari behind her.

"Lord Danzo, this is my latest research result."

Orochimaru took out a cylindrical vial and placed it on the desk.

Hmm?

Uchiha Hikari immediately spotted the small desk lamp on the desk, shaped like Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen bowing in apology.

"This is?"

Danzo Shimura looked at the crystal-clear liquid in the small vial on the desk.

"Liquid contact lenses. When worn, they will envelop the eyeball, resist a certain degree of visual genjutsu and reflect genjutsu, and also give the eyes the function of a telescope."

Orochimaru introduced the functions of the first-generation liquid contact lenses.

"That amazing?!"

Danzo Shimura looked at the inconspicuous small vial in shock, never expecting the liquid within to have such powerful effects.

"This is my latest research result provided to Konoha."

Orochimaru was very pleased with Danzo Shimura's reaction.

"Excellent, Orochimaru, the liquid contact lenses are truly excellent!"

Danzo Shimura knew very well that if Orochimaru brought the liquid contact lenses to him, they must have undergone multiple tests; otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn't present a half-finished product.

"Lord Danzo, how about finding someone to test them?"

After suggesting finding someone to test them, Orochimaru then reminded, "Once the liquid contact lenses are worn, they do not need to be removed and will not affect the eyes. However, once removed, they cannot be used again."

What needed to be said still had to be made clear, lest Danzo Shimura have the test subject remove the liquid contact lenses after the test.

"I understand."

Danzo Shimura quickly found people to test the liquid contact lenses: a genjutsu idiot who knew no genjutsu and a genjutsu Ninja proficient in genjutsu.

Orochimaru personally put the liquid contact lenses on the genjutsu idiot.

"How does it feel?"

Danzo Shimura looked at the person who kept blinking.

"Lord Danzo, the liquid contact lenses feel a little uncomfortable at first, but now it's fine."

The person answered truthfully.

"Very good."

Danzo Shimura nodded slightly and said to the genjutsu Ninja, "Cast genjutsu on him!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

The genjutsu Ninja formed hand signs.

"Demonic Illusion: Vine Bind Slaughter!"

After being caught in the genjutsu, the genjutsu idiot was entangled by vines, his hands uncontrollably struggling as if being pulled by the vines.

"Inject Chakra into the liquid contact lenses."

Orochimaru saw that the genjutsu idiot couldn't use the liquid contact lenses at all, so he had to remind him.

The genjutsu idiot quickly injected Chakra into the liquid contact lenses, deflecting the genjutsu. The genjutsu Ninja's eyes widened in disbelief that his genjutsu had been reflected back.

"Orochimaru, your research achievements are becoming more and more astonishing!"

Danzo Shimura watched this scene, a smile appearing on his face. The liquid contact lenses were even more powerful than he had imagined.

They could allow an idiot, completely ignorant of genjutsu, to deflect the genjutsu of a master genjutsu Ninja!

What did this mean? Once the liquid contact lenses were popularized in Konoha, enemy genjutsu Ninja would lose all effectiveness against Konoha Ninja. Their genjutsu would ultimately be reflected back onto themselves.

"Orochimaru, you've worked hard. I know you're not short on money right now, but you must accept these."

Danzo Shimura clapped his hands, and Root Ninja continuously brought over suitcases filled with money. To him, this money was just a drop in the bucket.

shimura herbal tea was a best-selling product worldwide, and the share he received was quite substantial. It could be said that in Konoha, besides the Nara and Akimichi, no one was richer than him.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, if the Land of Fire Daimyo wanted to cut Konoha's budget, he might even have to ask Danzo for help.

"It would be disrespectful to refuse."

Orochimaru smiled slightly, sealing all the suitcases into his sleeve.

Uchiha Hikari watched this scene, dumbfounded. The research result Orochimaru had brought out was the initial, first-generation liquid contact lenses, which had been developed years ago.

"Advisor Danzo, this is the technology for making liquid contact lenses that I've organized, along with 10 sets of liquid contact lenses."

Orochimaru readily produced a dozen notebooks and 10 sets of liquid contact lenses.

"Advisor Danzo, please inform Hiruzen-sensei and the two Advisors that I will provide the liquid contact lenses to the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company after removing the genjutsu-deflecting function. There's no need to worry that I will provide the complete product to the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company."

Orochimaru guessed what concerns the Konoha Higher-Ups would have when Danzo Shimura appeared before them with the liquid contact lenses. Rather than being called in later, it was better to make it clear now.
