Naruto: On the Night of the Nine-Tails, I Resurrected the Previous Hokage

After finalizing some specific details of the experiment with Tobirama.

Orochimaru led his animal friends back to his home.

However, Orochimaru did not forget the request he had made to Shukaku.

Orochimaru is a snake who means what he says.

After leaving Princess Ichikishima to guard the house, Orochimaru led Shukaku and Matatabi towards the Minato family's residence.

As for why you should bring a travel companion.

Orochimaru can only say that he insisted on coming along.

He had no real grudge against Kurama; he only came along because he was particularly attached to Orochimaru.

It seems quite reasonable that cats are very attached to their owners.

Orochimaru didn't care whether he came or not; if he did, he would just dump him at Minato's house.

For a long time to come, I will be focused on experiments and won't have much opportunity to take care of him.

However, Orochimaru was still quite puzzled by the change in the journey.

He wasn't always this honest!

Whether he was fooling Yokura or in the laboratory, Matatabi never undermined him like he did in Ryuchi-dong.

It even takes the initiative to restrain Shukaku's actions, acting like a good cat.

Could it be that he enjoyed the cursed seal during that time?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru quietly formed hand seals and activated the cursed seal on Matatabi's body.

"Meow~ Lord Orochimaru, what are you doing?"

Orochimaru carefully observed Matatabi's expression.

Then I realized that trying to read each other's expressions across species was a bit of wishful thinking.

"It's nothing, it's just that you seem to have become a little strange."

Another journey: ?

The traveler looked completely bewildered: "Lord Orochimaru, isn't this a bit much?! I'm your most loyal cat."

Orochimaru also realized that he was somewhat in the wrong, and in the end, he just wanted to test the true strength of Matatabi.

Since the cat had sworn allegiance, Orochimaru couldn't say anything more.

So he patted Youlv's head and then comforted him:

"Don't worry, Youlu, I'm definitely thinking of your best interests. This time I'll find you a really interesting travel companion."

"Playmate? You don't mean Kurama, do you? If he could perform some talents inside a Jinchuriki's body, he would indeed be a pretty good playmate."

Shukaku, standing to the side, is now very excited.

He was about to meet his lifelong enemy, the Nine Lamas.

Moreover, it's highly likely that he's still the Nine-Tailed Fox who's being used in bondage play.

Orochimaru smiled slightly: "You'll find out when we get there."

The two beasts and the snake quickly arrived at the entrance of the Water Gate's house.

Knock knock knock.

After a series of hurried footsteps.

Click!

The door was opened.

A red-haired woman who seemed to be in good spirits came out of there.

She was wearing loose-fitting casual clothes, with a baby carrier around her waist.

However, it was completely empty inside.

This person is none other than Minato's wife, Kushina Uzumaki.

"Eh, Lord Orochimaru? Minato is still at the Hokage's residence!"

Orochimaru shook his head and said:

"I came here specifically to find you, not to find Minato, or rather, a friend of mine wants to find you."

however--

Before Kushina could reply, a round thing appeared between Orochimaru and Kushina.

Kushina was a little confused as she looked at the round little thing with eyes that looked like copper coins.

But for some reason, I also find Shukaku to be a little bit cute.

Kushina has always been a very easygoing person, so when she meets someone she likes, she naturally goes straight for it.

After picking up Shukaku, Kushina looked at Orochimaru and asked:

"This isn't your friend, is it?"

He then stepped aside, gesturing for Orochimaru to come in first.

Upon entering the room, I saw clothes scattered all over the floor.

Judging from Kushina's hurried footsteps when she opened the door, she must have been packing her clothes in a rather rushed manner.

After seeing a blond-haired boy sitting in the corner of the living room, with a bottle of ink spilled on the floor and even his diaper soaked in ink.

Kushina's expression suddenly turned somewhat angry.

She set Shukaku aside, then strode over to the blond-haired boy, his hair standing on end.

"Naruto!"

Hearing Kushina's roar, even the blond-haired Naruto jumped.

He collapsed to the ground, looking bewildered, like a koala sleeping in a tree that had suddenly fallen to the ground.

After disciplining Naruto and changing his clothes, Naruto became much more obedient, standing there as if he were being punished, even though he was still a baby.

Orochimaru couldn't help but marvel at the constitution of the ninja world's baby.

Naruto is only a few months old, yet he can not only walk but is also incredibly resilient.

Of course, this is also related to the special physical constitution of ninjas.

There was someone next door who was pulled into the battlefield at the age of four to do preschool education.

Compared to that, it's not surprising that a baby a few months old can walk.

Kushina then approached Orochimaru somewhat embarrassed.

Then he said, "Sorry, I was a little rude just now. Naruto is still a bit mischievous."

Orochimaru waved his hand, then casually stroked Matatabi beside him, indicating that he didn't care.

At this moment, Kushina turned her attention to Shukaku.

From the very beginning, Shukaku had been staring at Kushina's stomach, and he had a constipated expression on his face, as if he was holding back a big one.

Kushina really liked Shukaku's design, so she said:

"What does your...friend want from me?"

Before Orochimaru could answer, Shukaku's shrill voice rang out first:

"No! It's a sealing technique again! I can't see it at all!"

"Shukaku, have you forgotten what I told you? Be polite when you visit other people's homes." Orochimaru gently patted Shukaku's head and reminded him.

Shukaku touched the head that Orochimaru had slapped, turned to look at Orochimaru, and was about to retort when Kushina grabbed him.

Kushina looked at Shukaku, her eyes wide with disbelief.

If he remembers correctly, Shukaku is the One-Tailed Beast of Sunagakure.

Orochimaru smiled slightly, introduced Shukaku to Kushina, and also told her the purpose of Shukaku's visit.

Because Shukaku's power was sealed, Kushina had nothing to fear, and besides, the chubby Shukaku was indeed cute.

Kushina was overjoyed to hear that Shukaku had come to see Kurama make a fool of himself.

Kushina suffered greatly from the Nine-Tails' torment from childhood to adulthood.

She immediately pulled Shukaku into her sealed space and demonstrated the small whip training method to Shukaku.

Orochimaru could clearly sense that Shukaku was enjoying himself.

"I never imagined that the Nine-Tails would have the name Kurama," Kushina said. "Lord Orochimaru probably wants to keep them here with me, right?"

Kushina's residence, Minato's mansion, has a barrier that suppresses tailed beasts.

In Kushina's opinion, it was indeed much safer to leave the Tailed Beasts with her.

Orochimaru's true intention was not that; he was quite confident in his cursed seal.

Orochimaru really wanted to get rid of the two troubles, and it would be best if Kushina was willing to misunderstand him like this.

"They'll stay with you for now; they can also be Naruto's playmates."

Kushina almost rolled her eyes at this.

Kushina had just witnessed how mischievous Shukaku was; if he were to play with Naruto, Kushina would be overwhelmed.

However, as the Hokage's wife, she did not refuse the task of guarding the tailed beasts.

Seeing that Kushina had taken in the two tailed beasts with great seriousness, Orochimaru still felt a little guilty.

"Well, that way Minato will give me an extra mission reward, and then I can go shopping with Mikoto and buy more things."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's gratitude vanished instantly.

I'm so stupid, why would I think the Uzumaki clan couldn't handle the tailed beasts?

"Well then, Kushina, I'll take my leave now!"

After greeting Kushina, Orochimaru left the Minato residence and headed to his laboratory.
