Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

In the Anbu, two more Ambers suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's base.

One is White Zetsu.

another……

"Ok?"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed and instantly became respectful.

Kakuzu!

Good guy!
Jingyan actually caught Jiaodu, not only that, he caught him alive, and they both packed up the whole thing.

Living things and dead things are two different things.

Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "This is really good news!"

What attracted Kakuzu the most was, of course, not this guy's strength, but the secret of immortality and longevity.

From the time of the First Hokage to the present, even the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara have aged, and most of their peers have passed away.

Where is Kakuzu?
Not only is he alive, he is even able to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki alone, which shows how powerful the secret technique of Earth Grudge is.

"Kyouhiko-kun, you really gave me a great gift!"

Orochimaru was extremely excited.

even.

Jingyan even prepared the experimental materials!
The living White Zetsu.

If he could figure out the secret of White Zetsu's replication, he would be able to create similar life forms endlessly.

At that time, he would use White Zetsu's heart and vitality to help himself prolong his life and achieve the effect of immortality and longevity.

of course.

In Orochimaru's opinion, Earth Grudge's ability is imperfect.

This kind of immortality can only be used as a backup plan, and can be used for transition when your health is not good one day.

If you really want to be immortal and live forever, you still have to study it yourself.

Orochimaru is calm and has a very strong will.

He was about to ask Kazuma to carry it in, but when he looked up, he remembered——

He Ma has gone to the southern sea country!
"Looks like I need to find a helper."

Orochimaru looked at the two of them, then pondered for a moment, first sealed them up with a sealing technique, then created a shadow clone and asked him to go to Konoha Hospital.

……

Konoha Hospital.

Shizune was in the front, taking the pharmacist for a walk, then stopped, paused and said, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

"No."

Yakushi Kabuto answered instinctively.

Then, he paused, slightly startled, and immediately realized something, and said, "I just forgot, but I do have a question I want to ask you."

"I said, medical ninjutsu is very difficult. It takes more than one or two days to master it. How can there be no doubts?"

Shizune smiled gently.

"Yes, Senior, I don't quite understand the Palm Immortal Technique. Please give me some advice..."

Yakushi Kabuto answered respectfully.

Shizune answered naturally.

Then, she said with a serious face, "Ask if you have any questions. Don't pretend to know something you don't. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

Pharmacist Kabuto lowered his head.

Shizune nodded slightly, then gave instructions to the other party.

"In a few days, when Hong comes back, she should take you with her. She has more knowledge about illusion and psychology than I do. You can ask her for advice."

"Thank you, senior!"

This time, Pharmacist Kabuto was really overjoyed.

He is very smart and has a very solid foundation in medical ninjutsu under the instruction of pharmacist Nono.

and so.

He actually mastered the ninjutsu and treatment points in the hospital very quickly without having to ask anyone for help.

However, he currently knows nothing about knowledge related to illusion, psychology, combat, and alternative medicine, and mostly learns on his own.

It would be great if we could have some guidance from Xihi Hong.

Shizune left satisfied and went to do her own thing.

After she left.

"Getting along with ordinary people must be very distressing to you, right?"

"Lord Orochimaru."

Yakushi Kabuto reacted immediately and called out the name of the voice.

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth raised slightly.

This kid is really smart. After just one meeting, the other party remembered his voice.

Have a good memory.

He also has a high level of comprehension.

If Danzo were still alive, such a child would definitely have been accepted into the "Root" organization.

He chuckled.

"I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't really come over to see you. I just mentioned it to Nono. Did she talk to you about it?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Pharmacist Kabuto maintained a smile on his face.

Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "So, what's your answer? The answer to both questions."

"Regarding medical ninjas, I believe that in addition to their job duties, medical ninjas should also master skilled life-saving techniques and the ability to hide themselves..."

Pharmacist Kabuto expressed his thoughts.

Then he pushed up his glasses.

"To this end, I did some research and found out while studying transformation techniques that I could cover my entire body with chakra, giving myself the ability to hide my aura."

"In addition, outstanding facial features, looks, and age can easily attract the enemy's attention. I think an excellent medical ninja should disguise himself during a mission..."

He expressed his thoughts in detail.

Orochimaru was just joking at first, but then his expression gradually became serious.

Yakushi Kabuto's views are not just nonsense from a child, but are truly meaningful.

He couldn't help but laugh when he heard the latter part. "Among what you said, there is a lot of knowledge needed for ninja disguise and infiltration, right?"

"As a medical ninja, if there is a need to go to the battlefield, then you should indeed master this knowledge."

Yakushi Kabuto answered.

"Hahahaha!"

Orochimaru laughed loudly, "Good, good one, Kabuto Yakushi! You're right, have you written down your ideas?"

"Please have a look, sir."

Pharmacist Kabuto presented his booklet with both hands.

Orochimaru flipped it open, read a few pages, and couldn't help but smile: "You are very smart and have creative thinking. I will take this booklet to show to the Hokage."

"what?"

Pharmacist Dou was stunned for a while, then his face turned red and he said, "Well, can I take it back? I want to copy it, this one is written rather sloppily."

"Need not."

There are indeed traces of modification and scribbles on it.

even.

On the side, there are some mind maps.

In this notebook, the process of scribbles and drawings best reflects his powerful and mature creative thinking.

Nothing could be more suitable!

Orochimaru put it away and smiled, "So, what's the second question?"

"Please, please allow me to be rude!"

Yakushi Kabuto became nervous for a moment, but he gritted his teeth and remained firm.

"You said."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and spoke in a rather unfriendly tone. He realized in his heart that -

The ending might not be very happy!
and so.

At the same time, he released strands of aura, oppressing Kabuto Yakushi.

Yakushi Kabuto was frightened and nervous, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I want to study and learn from you, but I want to be Master Jingyan's disciple even more!"

His answer…

It was surprising to Orochimaru, but not that surprising.

Even though Jingyan is only thirteen years old, how many children in Konoha don't want to become Jingyan's disciple?

There is no shame in losing to Jingyan.

Orochimaru was silent for a few seconds.

Then he burst out laughing: "Greedy child, this is the first time you show your unrestrained side."

The previous Kabuto Yakushi was as mature as an adult, but at this moment, he was nervous, scared, and uneasy, but he still spoke out his inner thoughts...

This is more like what should happen at this age.

Children are greedy!
Orochimaru smiled, "Sure, but can you let Kyouhiko-kun accept you as his disciple?"

"I will work harder, thank you Lord Orochimaru!"

Pharmacist Dou was overjoyed.

Orochimaru smiled, put away his notebook, and said, "Want to hear my answer?"

"what?"

Pharmacist Dou was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.

Orochimaru said: "As a medical ninja, if you want to protect yourself on the battlefield, you must first have enough judgment to know who is a threat to you."

"after……"

“Use your limited abilities to set enough traps, take advantage of the other party’s personality and behavioral tendencies, and lead them into your trap.”

"Defeating the enemy is the best protection!"

Orochimaru slowly expressed his opinion. Yakushi Kabuto was stunned.

It only took a second for him to say, "But there are a lot of people...Yes, I understand!"

He wanted to say that many people do not have this ability.

but.

He quickly came to his senses and realized the flaws in his plan.

Too passive!

Although he saved himself, when his teammates slowly fell down, as a medical ninja, he had to treat them.

What to do then?
and so.

It is not enough to just know how to hide and avoid.

Medical ninjas should not stay out of combat, but should participate in it covertly and effectively.

"Understood?"

"Yes!"

Pharmacist Dou nodded heavily.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Well, next time we meet, I hope to see a new answer."

"Yes, I will right away... No, I still need one to three weeks."

Yakushi Kabuto wanted to agree immediately, but he was really unfamiliar with "battle" and knew very little about it. It might be a mistake to rush.

and so.

He wanted to wait for Xiuri Kurenai to come back.

Orochimaru understood Kabuto Yakushi's thoughts at a glance, but he admired and liked him even more in his heart.

Be cautious and self-aware.

It fits so well!
"Goodbye."

Orochimaru nodded slightly and disappeared in an instant.

……

Hokage's office.

Tsunade was a little surprised when she saw Orochimaru, but when she heard the two pieces of news that Orochimaru brought, she stood up in surprise.

"What? Really?"

"Of course, they are all at my research base."

Orochimaru nodded.

Tsunade was overjoyed: "Great! Great!"

Although Takiguni Village is an ally of theirs, there were actually some discords between them a long time ago.

In recent years, with the growth of Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village, the attitude of Takigakure Village has become increasingly ambiguous.

but.

Once Kakuzu is captured, they can discuss the proposal handed over by Minato.

Tsunade smiled and looked at Orochimaru: "This is Minato's idea, take a look."

Orochimaru took it.

After taking a quick glance, he put it back.

"It's feasible. Facing one Iwagakure Village is better than facing two villages, Kumogakure Village and Mist Village."

and.

Such a river can strengthen the connection between Konoha and the Land of Grass and the Land of Water Trap, making it easier to control them in the future.

Orochimaru didn't say this, but Tsunade knew it very well.

The two of them just didn't point it out.

"Minato and Shikaku are both talented, especially Minato. If he is trained more, he will be a pillar in the future."

Orochimaru praised with a smile.

After all, Minato is Jiraiya's disciple, and now he looks at Minato as a junior.

not to mention.

Namikaze Minato is extremely talented and often makes many amazing creations in the study of ninjutsu, which he actually admires and likes.

but.

After praising him, he took out the booklet from his pocket.

“That’s another reason why I came here today.”

"Ok?"

Tsunade took it and couldn't help but look at Orochimaru strangely.

The handwriting on the notebook cover...

Although it looks neat, it is obviously not Orochimaru's handwriting.

She opened it.

Then, sweeping from top to bottom, seeing the back, Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's the work of a child!"

Many of the things written in the book are assumptions and conjectures, and do not conform to the laws of the battlefield.

and.

From the words, deductions and handwriting, she felt that the owner of the booklet must still be very immature.

Tsunade thought for a moment and immediately thought of the possible owner of the book.

"Kabuto Yakushi?"

"Sure enough, none of the medical ninjas in the village can escape your eyes."

Orochimaru said with a smile.

There was no direct answer, but it was equivalent to a tacit agreement.

Tsunade looked back, read carefully, and thought about it carefully...

She expressed her opinion.

"This kid combined intelligence work skills with medical ninjutsu. The reason should be that Nono only has these two types of books and notes."

"To be able to come up with such a plan based on books and conjecture, you really have talent!"

Tsunade praised repeatedly.

No wonder Jingyan praises such a child so much.

She continued to look back and said, "Orochimaru, you should be moved, right?"

"Who wouldn't be moved? Unfortunately, he doesn't like me."

Orochimaru chuckled.

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile.

"Kyohiko?"

"Yes, that boy is willing to study with me, but he wants to become Jingyan-kun's disciple more."

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth raised slightly.

With his pride, if it was an ordinary person, like Yakushi Kabuto, he would not bother to force it, making him look like a spare.

but.

If it's Kabuto Yakushi, it's not impossible.

Tsunade nodded repeatedly and patted the booklet.

Everyone has their own limitations, but Dou was able to use his limited knowledge and insights to come up with such a proposal...

It can be seen that this child has excellent talents and abilities. What kind of person he will become depends on who educates and guides him.

Kyohiko.

Tsunade pondered for a long time.

"This way, I'll arrange for Hong and Shizune to take care of him. After that, you can set aside half a day every day for him to help out in the laboratory. What do you think?"

"can."

Orochimaru nodded.

Let Dou go to his side directly, the rise was too fast, Dou couldn't adapt, and he couldn't adapt either -

He is very busy now and has no time to train new people.

Afterwards, Tsunade talked about the situation in the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Cloud Village, as well as the battle that Minato encountered this time.

Orochimaru smiled and said nothing.

He believed that Tsunade already had an idea and didn't need his opinion, she just wanted to chat.

but.

Speaking of the Third Raikage…

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, "I remember that Kyouhiko said that Obito took away one of Shukaku's hands before?"

"Yes."

Tsunade nodded.

Orochimaru said: "Well, Madara and his people have the power of eight tailed beasts, only missing our Nine-Tails."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Tsunade frowned.

She vaguely felt that there was some worry in Orochimaru's words.

Orochimaru frowned.

"The chakra that the Six Paths Sage used to create the nine tailed beasts most likely came from the Six Paths Sage."

"Will Madara have a way to reverse them and convert them back into chakra?"

Orochimaru expressed his doubts.

Tsunade was slightly startled.

reverse?

No way!
However, when she thought of the White Zetsu that "Ban" copied, she suddenly fell into doubt again.

According to the Uchiha clan's stone tablet, when Madara left Konoha, he fought a great battle with the first Hokage. It was probably not just a dispute of egos, but also related to the text not shown on the stone tablet.

What if, after fusing with the cells of the first generation, Madara really possesses incredible power and can reverse the power of the tailed beasts?

The nine tailed beasts are reversed and fused, what a powerful force would that be?

"If that's the case, then we should be more optimistic about Kyuubi and Shukaku!" (End of this chapter)
