Time passed and a month quickly vanished.
During that month, Kozue took it upon herself to open more stores throughout the Land of Fire with the help of dozens of shadow clones and the almost omnipotent assistance of her dimensional shop to accelerate the process of creating a company and acquiring various properties.
Of course, opening so many stores meant she didn't have enough eyeshadow clones to supply each one, so she started hiring employees.
With his absolute power within his dimensional store, he could stop any employee who tried to steal or do anything else to harm his stores, his colleagues, or the customers.
Of course, all of this will take place within her shop, and Kozue will be able to perform.
Whether it's to fire that employee if their action is not serious, or to give them a greater punishment otherwise.
And outside of it?
Kozue couldn't control her actions outside of her stores, but it didn't matter.
After all, none of them know any secrets.
And if something does happen, the rules within his dimensional store dictate that no employee can hide negative actions against him, his women, his store, his colleagues, or against customers.
With the new employees to run their stores, he and the girls no longer needed to spend chakra every day creating additional shadow clones and could instead focus on their training.
Of course, from time to time they also took days off and visited certain places.
After all, the land of fire is vast and has many beautiful places, many of them uninhabited or undiscovered.
It was his shadow clones who discovered these places during their hunt for Root and decided to take the girls to visit all these places.
Like this beautiful beach where they were currently located.
While lying on a beach lounge chair sipping an ice-cold drink while watching the girls play volleyball on the beach sand, Kozue sighed with pleasure as he felt the icy beverage go down his throat on this hot day.
Of course, nothing compared to the delight his eyes felt watching his women's attributes bounce as they battled with the ball.
Although Mittelt's height remained the same, the size of her breasts and buttocks did not after she magically made them grow, therefore Kozue also greatly enjoyed seeing the body of the little fallen angel.
Of course, while Kozue was enjoying her vacation, she didn't know that her actions had already begun to change the plot.
.
.
.
Somewhere in Tierra del Fuego, several explosions could be heard.
Amidst the clash of various weapons and elemental attacks, a battle was taking place between Root ninjas and the rogue S-class ninja of the Leaf Village, Orochimaru.
Of course, one side was clearly superior, and Root's ninjas clearly were not, falling in great numbers with each attack from the snake contractor.
"You know, a simple 'no' wouldn't have been enough."
After killing almost all of Root's ninjas, Orochimaru grimaced and said a few words to the leader of that organization, Danzo Shimura.
But the man did not respond and joined his subordinates in attacking with a wide-range wind jutsu that left deep marks on the ground where Orochimaru had previously stood.
The man had already removed the bandages from his arm and could fight with all his strength, so he quickly became a headache for the rogue ninja.
And although Orochimaru knew that Danzo's wood element was no match for the First Hokage, he knew it would be annoying enough, so he should be careful.
After all, he had helped in the creation of Danzo's arm and knew its capabilities.
Of course, he also knew about the large number of Sharingan in the First Hokage's arm to control the wood element, but he paid no attention to it.
As the battlefield became more and more destroyed, Orochimaru considered retreating and thinking about what to do next.
Whether or not to continue with their plan to attack Konoha during the Chunin Exams.
As his body was pierced by air bullets and he collapsed like a mud clone, Orochimaru's figure suddenly appeared beside Danzo and a snake emerged from his sleeves to bite the man.
But likewise, he disappeared in a puff of smoke, revealing that he was a shadow clone.
Dodging the wind element chakra-encrusted shurikens that fell in his previous location, Orochimaru wondered why Danzo was behaving differently than he expected.
His plan was to use the help of his former collaborator to invade the Leaf Village without drawing attention to his Sound and Sand ninjas, allowing them to enter the Leaf Village incognito.
And to get Danzo's help, he told him his plans through a subordinate and promised the man the position of Hokage when he acted at the last minute to save the day.
Orochimaru knew of the man's obsession with the hat and was sure he would accept the alliance.
And when the man asked to meet in person to clarify some details, Orochimaru didn't suspect much.
After all, he was confident in his knowledge of the man's personality and his goals.
He didn't even bring his most powerful subordinates because he didn't believe anything would happen.
Of course, it's not like he has any subordinates available who can deal with Danzo and his organization, or at least help him in a battle.
Kabuto was in the Leaf Village and needed him there to give him any important information before carrying out his invasion plan.
Guren was guarding one of his important bases and wouldn't arrive anytime soon.
And Kimimaro was sick and could not act without hastening his death.
In any case, Orochimaru was confident that he could escape in the unlikely event that it was a trap, so he was not afraid.
As in the current case.
Although he didn't know why Danzo didn't accept his proposal, Orochimaru wasn't worried.
He just had to think about modifying his plans because it's unlikely his plans will remain secret.
'Perhaps I should let Rasa live?' the snake contractor thought.
His plan was to kill Rasa and take his place, not to sneakily attack his former teacher as he had promised the Kage of the Sand Village.
After all, even though Orochimaru had deserted, he had lived most of his life in the Leaf Village, so he didn't exactly want to destroy it.
His only goal was to kill his former teacher.
Seeing that this fight was going nowhere, the rebel ninja wanted to withdraw.
Of course, Root's ninjas came out in large numbers to prevent his escape, and Orochimaru wondered why Danzo was willing to waste such a large number of subordinates when he knew they were useless in stopping him.
But since he no longer wanted to play, he decided to teach Danzo a lesson before retiring.
Although he knew that the death of these Root ninjas would not hurt Danzo, it would at least annoy the man a little by wasting time training more subordinates to replace them.
"Ten Thousand Snake Formation!"
Orochimaru opened his mouth wide and an endless stream of snakes came out of it in the direction of the Root ninjas.
And to increase their lethality, all the snakes opened their mouths and from each one came out a sword.
Roor's ninjas tried everything within their power to survive such an attack.
Whether trying to dodge to the sides or launching a large amount of Ninjutsu against the endless flow of snakes.
But it was useless.
As one snake was destroyed, another took its place and continued its path of destruction, killing most of the members of Root.
Although many wanted to get out of the attack range, they couldn't because Orochimaru's jutsu was wide enough not to give them enough time to escape its reach.
Danzo knew this too, and smiled when he confirmed that this was Orochimaru's true body.
After all, to unleash a jutsu of such magnitude requires a vast amount of chakra, so it couldn't be a simple clone.
In a burst of speed, the leader of Root reached Orochimaru's front.
The snake contractor noticed the man's movement, and smiled as he thought about what he wanted to do.
Although the man was skilled, he was already old and Orochimaru did not believe he was dangerous.
But he realized he had underestimated the man, and then he suddenly saw a Sharingan with a four-pointed swirl.
