The Land of Fire.

Orochimaru happened to pass by Konoha Village on his way to the gold exchange.

He looked at the village in the distance and murmured, "It's been a while since I've been back to the village. I don't know what changes have taken place in the village during the time I've been away?"

Thinking of this, Orochimaru decided to sneak in and take a look.

As one of the representatives of Konoha's prostitution, gambling and drug abuse, it was as easy for him to sneak into the village as drinking water.

It was already evening, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.

Orochimaru walked in the middle of the street without hesitation, and his figure was particularly eye-catching.

Suddenly, the cheerful laughter of children came from a distance, attracting Orochimaru's attention.

He curiously walked in the direction of the sound, and saw several children playing to their heart's content, seemingly completely unaware that night was about to fall.

Orochimaru couldn't help licking his lips and sighed: "It seems that the security situation in the village has improved a lot after I left!"

This reminded Orochimaru of the days when he was still in the village, when he often used children as human subjects for experiments.

During that period, the children in the village were so scared that they hid at home and dared not go out easily.

This gave Orochimaru a headache because he couldn't find the experiment questions to do the experiment...

"Why was my experiment suddenly discovered when it was about to succeed?" Orochimaru frowned and thought.

Suddenly, another person appeared in Orochimaru's mind-Shimura Danzo.

Because Shimura Danzo supported him in doing experiments behind his back, the only person in Konoha who knew that he was doing human experiments was Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo reached a cooperation with Orochimaru behind his back, and then not long after, when the experiment was about to succeed, Orochimaru was suddenly exposed.

Orochimaru could only defect from Konoha, but Shimura Danzo was fine.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes were sinister. He guessed that his exposure was definitely related to Shimura Danzo.

He decided that he must find a time to kill Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo, who was far away in the root, suddenly sneezed...

Thinking back to the present, Orochimaru looked at the children in front of him, and a strong desire surged in his heart.

He remembered the past experiments, those studies that were only one step away from success. If he could get these children, he might be able to start the experiment again.

Orochimaru's eyes became hot, and he stared at the children, as if he saw the scene of the successful experiment.

He couldn't help but take a step forward, ready to take them away, but soon hesitated and retracted.

He suddenly realized that there was a new way to live forever, and he no longer had to rely on human experiments.

This idea made him stop, and his desire for the children gradually faded.

Orochimaru took a last look at the children, then turned and left.

The children were still playing carefree, not realizing that they had just brushed shoulders with the god of death.

…

The business district was in front of him, and there were a lot of people. Orochimaru knew that he couldn't show his true face to others.

So he used the disguise technique he learned from the Changsheng Jue to cleverly change his appearance.

After a whole day of running around, Orochimaru felt hungry.

Just in time, a ramen shop called "Ichiraku" appeared in front of him. He walked into the shop without hesitation, ready to enjoy a bowl of steaming ramen.

After ordering a bowl of noodles, he found a seat by the window and sat down quietly, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Just then, several people with round fan patterns on their backs walked into the shop.

Their appearance caused a commotion, and the originally noisy shop became silent in an instant after several people came in.

"Boss, four bowls of tonkotsu ramen." One of them said.

"Okay." Uncle Ichiraku smiled and responded.

Ramen was soon ready. Several Uchiha clan members carried steaming noodles and walked to the table near Orochimaru and sat down, eating and chatting.

"Konoha has really been robbed recently!" an Uchiha whispered.

"Yeah, I heard about it too. It seems to be a series of crimes."

"That's right. I heard that the Hyuga clan's treasury was stolen last night, and the Hyuga clan leader ran to the Hokage to cry."

"Hahaha, can't the Hyuga clan's Byakugan see through things? How come the clan treasury was stolen!"

Orochimaru heard the conversation of several people and looked over curiously.

"In the past few days, the property of several families has been stolen, causing panic in the village now."

"Eat quickly, our police force will be busy later."

Just then, an Uchiha ran in and saw that several people were still eating ramen leisurely. He was furious, "Don't eat! The clan's treasury was stolen, and the rich...Clan leader Yue is calling all clan members back to join other clans to search for the thief overnight!"

After hearing this, the noodles-eating people threw their money on the table and hurriedly got up and left.

"Fuck, the money was stolen from my Uchiha!" The leader cursed and left the ramen shop.

After the Uchiha people left, the originally quiet shop suddenly became abuzz with discussions.

"I didn't expect that the Uchiha clan was also robbed!"

"What's the matter? After all, the Hokage was robbed, and these big families will definitely be robbed!"

"I heard that they had strengthened their defenses before, but they were still robbed now, right?"

"Haha, it really made me laugh to death!"

Orochimaru heard the discussion of the crowd and felt that he had eaten a big melon.

He listened to the discussion of the crowd with interest, "It's really interesting, even the teacher's money was stolen? "

……

Uchiha clan land.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the empty room, his eyes spurting with anger.

This room should have been full of money, but he left for a meal.

The money in the room disappeared in an instant!

"Who on earth could have taken away so much money in such a short time!" Uchiha Fugaku roared.

The three magatama in his eyes suddenly kept spinning, and finally connected together to form a pattern.

"Asshole! I will find you today even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!" Fugaku roared.

He has united with the patriarchs of other families. Even if he has to turn Konoha upside down tonight, he must find the thief!

Soon, the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, and even the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo followed.

"Hokage-sama, the patriarchs of the major families, we must unite tonight and must catch this thief in Konoha! "Uchiha Fugaku shouted.

Every family present had been visited by the thief, so they all hated this thief.

"Clan leader Fugaku, I will send the Anbu to help you."

Seeing that the Hokage had spoken, other families responded.

"My Hyuga clan will do everything in our power to help Clan leader Fugaku!"

"So will our Ino-Shika-Chou!"

………

In this way, a massive operation to catch thieves was quickly launched in Konoha Village.

Anyone with suspicious behavior was arrested by people from major families.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Orochimaru had already slipped out of the village.

He looked back at the brightly lit Konoha Village in the distance and sighed, "Who on earth did this..."
