Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime saw that Orochimaru and the three great snakes had no intention of continuing their battle, so they returned to the cave to watch TV, becoming more and more astonished as they watched.
Had the Ninja World changed so much?
When did the Uchiha Clan become like this?
Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime watched in amazement at the advertisements filmed by the Uchiha Clan. Switching to another channel, they saw a movie about the Hyuga Clan's reform being broadcast.
Konoha TV… is it the Village Hidden in the Leaves's TV station? How can it also receive TV stations from Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Hidden Mist, and Kumogakure?
As they watched the novelties on TV, they suddenly felt like country bumpkins in the Ninja World, finding everything incredibly new.
"Have we been in Ryūchi Cave for too long?"
Tagitsuhime looked at Tagorihime beside her.
"When the war ends, shall we go out and have some fun? Ichikishimahime is so lucky; she's probably having a great time since leaving Ryūchi Cave this time."
Tagorihime thought of Ichikishimahime's trendy attire and couldn't help but feel a longing.
"Speaking of which, don't you think Ichikishimahime's attitude towards Orochimaru is a bit different?"
Tagitsuhime thought of the change in Ichikishimahime's attitude towards Orochimaru.
"You're thinking too much, aren't you?"
Tagorihime, holding the remote control and about to change the channel, paused and said, "For us with long lives, falling in love with a human is destined to have no good outcome. Even if Orochimaru is already a Sage, her lifespan cannot compare to ours."
"That's not necessarily true. Ichikishimahime's attitude towards Orochimaru has been unusual from the start."
Tagitsuhime reached out her hand, and a bag of snacks fell into it.
"Unusual… Do you mean the number of times they've argued?"
Tagorihime's mind conjured images of Orochimaru and Ichikishimahime arguing. That was not long after the test ended, Orochimaru was already arguing with Ichikishimahime. After receiving Natural Energy injected by the White Snake Sage and entering Sage Mode, they were still arguing while practicing Sage Ninjutsu.
"Perhaps it's a relationship that developed through arguments."
Tagitsuhime became even more convinced of her guess.
"Really? If it's true, should we stop Ichikishimahime? After all, we are the three Sages under the White Snake Sage. If we ignore this matter, wouldn't it be bad?"
Tagorihime pondered whether to stop Ichikishimahime's feelings for Orochimaru.
"You're thinking too much. The White Snake Sage should have known about this long ago. Since the White Snake Sage has no intention of stopping it, we shouldn't bother."
"Then why are you telling me this?"
Tagorihime looked at Tagitsuhime, unable to understand, feeling like she was making trouble for no reason.
"No, no, no, I'm just telling you because I noticed you hadn't. That's all."
Tagitsuhime said mischievously. She really wanted to know how Ichikishimahime and Orochimaru would develop.
Land of Fire, Konoha, Hokage Building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the liquid invisible contact lenses on his desk and felt incredibly depressed. Was Orochimaru his disciple, Hiruzen Sarutobi's, or Danzo Shimura's disciple? Why did she always give every research result to Danzo Shimura?
Was it just because he wasn't as rich as Danzo Shimura?
"Danzo, what else do you want to say?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the smug Danzo Shimura, suppressing the urge to kick him out.
"Hiruzen, based on the materials required to manufacture liquid invisible contact lenses and their importance, I believe the liquid invisible contact lenses need to be kept confidential."
Danzo Shimura stated his thoughts.
"Didn't Orochimaru decide to give the liquid invisible contact lens technology to White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company? How can it still be kept confidential?"
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, once White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company launched liquid invisible contact lenses, all Various Ninja Villages would suspect that this technology was related to Orochimaru. Suspecting Orochimaru would lead to suspecting Konoha of having this technology.
"Hiruzen, the liquid invisible contact lenses that Orochimaru is giving to White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company do not have the ability to resist Genjutsu. Therefore, we must keep it confidential and prioritize providing it to Jonin, then Special Jonin, and then the best Chunin. It can also be prioritized for Ninja with special abilities, or Medical Ninja."
Danzo Shimura wanted to maximize the effectiveness of the liquid invisible contact lenses.
"Danzo, how long will it take to manufacture the liquid invisible contact lenses? When can they be popularized among Ninja?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked. Once the liquid invisible contact lenses were popularized, it would mean that most visual Genjutsu would be ineffective against Konoha Ninja.
"It won't take long; it should be ready before Iwagakure's next move."
Danzo Shimura calculated the time but did not give a precise date.
The emergence of liquid invisible contact lenses made Danzo Shimura see a different path. He wanted to replace the Sharingan in his right eye with his own eye. The Sharingan's usefulness was now inferior to the liquid invisible contact lenses.
The Sharingan, after all, was not his original eye. Not only could it not be closed, but it also consumed his Chakra every moment. The Sharingan also couldn't allow him to reflect Genjutsu after realizing he was caught in one.
Aside from observing Chakra flow and insight, it was almost useless.
For him, who was proficient in Wind Release Ninjutsu, insight was far less useful than liquid invisible contact lenses, which had a built-in telescope function.
Danzo Shimura felt that he was now like a Chakra Battery that was constantly leaking power 24 hours a day. The Sharingan in his right eye no longer gave him an advantage, but instead became a weakness he needed to compensate for.
"Danzo, what's the situation with Kumogakure?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was more concerned about Kumogakure. The war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, which started as a large-scale conflict, had now turned into a small-scale war of attrition. He wondered what the Third Raikage was planning.
Economically, the Lightning Country Daimyo fully supported Kumogakure in fighting the Various Ninja Villages, and their funds were much more abundant than Konoha's.
"Currently, there's no latest intelligence. Intelligence Ninja infiltrating Kumogakure are very dangerous, we can't ask for too much."
Danzo Shimura said with a heavy expression, "Hiruzen, it would be best if Sunagakure could send Ninja to support Konoha when Iwagakure acts again. This way, we can prevent Sunagakure from having second thoughts."
Sunagakure was not to be trusted at all by Danzo Shimura. Rather than trusting Sunagakure, he would rather trust the Uchiha.
