Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 214 What Did You Give? (Please Subscribe)

"Nabatsuki, I never expected it to really be you."

After Orochimaru was brought here by Jiraiya, he saw that familiar face in the Senju clan's territory and was immediately filled with emotion.

He valued this disciple highly. When Tsunade wanted him to teach Nawaki, he agreed without hesitation. Who knew that Nawaki would die in an accident, and his death made him realize the fragility of life.

Now that Orochimaru has seen Nawaki resurrected, he feels that anything is possible in this world. If he can thoroughly understand it, he can obtain both truth and longevity.

"Orochimaru-sensei, it's so good to see you again."

When Nawaki saw Orochimaru, he smiled and said that according to his memory, he had not seen Orochimaru for more than a year, but for Orochimaru it was more than ten years.

"Nawaki, what are you planning to do next? How about becoming my disciple?"

"Wait, wait!"

Jiraiya quickly interrupted, saying, "Orochimaru, aren't you surprised? Nawaki has been resurrected!"

"Don't make a fuss. The Second Hokage researched forbidden techniques for resurrecting the dead, but he didn't succeed. So it became the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which summons the dead to fight."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and then walked into the house with Nawaki.

Meanwhile, Jingyin was already preparing dinner. She had bought a lot of things, mostly famous local delicacies, and they were all cooked and ready to eat as soon as you opened the package.

After Tsunade finished her bath, she came down to help. Today, there were only the three Sannin and Shizune Nawaki.

Upon seeing Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Nawaki enter, Tsunade said, "You've arrived. Everything's ready. Let's have a good drink tonight."

Jiraiya had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but seeing Tsunade's expression, he didn't ask them right away. He planned to ask her after they had a few drinks.

Soon, Shizune prepared and served the last of the dishes, and the people at the table began to drink under Tsunade's guidance.

I worked up a sweat in that brat's office this afternoon, took a shower when I got back, and then started helping Shizune. Her body really needs water right now, so drinking more soju is the most important thing for her.

After Orochimaru had a couple of drinks with Tsunade, he brought up the matter of being interrupted by Jiraiya earlier and asked Nawaki if he wanted to continue being his disciple.

He knew that Nawaki had only recently been resurrected, and in his memory, he was probably still at the point when Nawaki had become his disciple. Moreover, Orochimaru wanted to properly train Nawaki to become a strong person.

Watching his disciple die before his eyes was a deep-seated knot in Orochimaru's heart.

"Of course, Orochimaru-sensei, I was originally your student."

Upon hearing this, Nawaki gave Orochimaru a thumbs-up at the dinner table. This hot-blooded idiot act made Tsunade, who was standing nearby, quite annoyed.

She didn't object to Nawaki continuing to be Orochimaru's student, but she had been trying to correct his hot-blooded and foolish behavior for almost a year, and he still hadn't changed.

Tsunade then gave Nawaki a hard knock on the head. After he cried out in pain, Tsunade continued, "Orochimaru, you see, Nawaki's personality needs to be changed. Thank you for your help."

Orochimaru understood the meaning behind Tsunade's words: if Nawaki didn't change his impulsiveness, he would get injured sooner or later if he did missions; that would be easy, he had plenty of ways to make Nawaki change his impulsiveness.

"Tsunade."

After having a few drinks, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "How was Nawaki revived? Could this method also be used to revive Minato?"

"Jiraiya, Nawaki's revival has nothing to do with me, and you can forget about it too."

Tsunade's lips twitched when she heard Jiraiya's words. She hadn't expected him to be so direct. Although she didn't know what price Uchiha Yoichi had paid last time, it was impossible for someone to be resurrected unharmed.

Moreover, Tsunade still remembers how Uchiha Yoichi's Sharingan bled profusely last time. She also remembers Uchiha Yoichi saying that it was fortunate that Nawaki was a genin and didn't need much eye power.

"The price Uchiha Yoichi paid for reviving Nawaki was also very high; I haven't seen his Sharingan for over a year. Reviving the dead also caused him considerable damage, and I don't want him to pay an irreparable price because of my persuasion."

Moreover, Tsunade must be considering Uchiha Yoichi's situation now. The price is so high, she can't bear to let that brat sacrifice himself and then revive others.

This time it was Minato, who will it be next?

"...It's because of the rope tree incident."

"Have something to eat, Jiraiya."

Orochimaru picked up a piece of grilled lamb sushi and placed it on Jiraiya's plate, silencing the question Jiraiya was about to ask. A loss is a loss. He had always thought that Tsunade wouldn't like Jiraiya, that idiot, and Jiraiya had never done anything to make Tsunade like him.

It would have been too embarrassing to ask that question aloud.

"Sorry, I'm a little drunk."

Jiraiya also came to his senses. He had indeed lost his composure just now, mainly because he had been having too many worries lately; one disciple had broken with Konoha, and another disciple had died. Both of these disciples were chosen ones he had high hopes for.

Minato Namikaze's death was also related to his stubbornness. If he hadn't dragged Minato Namikaze into the second mission and had instead handed it over to Yoichi Uchiha, Minato Namikaze might not have died. At that time, his disciple had just finished a mission and was spending time with his family.

So even though a year had passed, Jiraiya still felt guilty towards Minato Namikaze. Every time he passed by Kushina's house, he didn't dare to go in and would just look around from the outside before leaving.

Jiraiya's guilt towards his disciple and Kushina, coupled with the news that the woman he loved had a lover who had two wives and children, almost led him to ask something embarrassing.

"snort!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, and out of consideration for their previous friendship as teammates, she didn't hold Jiraiya's actions against him. She then asked Orochimaru about the situation in the village and what he had been up to lately.

Speaking of Orochimaru, he became interested. He had too many things to research lately, especially human experimentation, which had reached a stalemate due to a lack of test subjects. He needed a skilled medical ninja to help him, preferably one with an exceptional understanding of the various tissues of the body.

Orochimaru's human experiments in the village were well hidden from ordinary ninjas, but among ninja clans and high-ranking ninjas, it was no longer a secret.

However, no one can blame Orochimaru. Even if he conducted human experiments, he used death row inmates, and the last person to conduct human experiments was the Second Hokage.

However, Tsunade directly refused Orochimaru, saying that she had more important things to do and could not help him, but she could find someone in Konoha Hospital to help Orochimaru.

The meal lasted for more than two hours, but Jiraiya rarely spoke, often drinking alone in silence. It was mostly Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Nawaki who did the talking, and even Shizune would chime in with a few words.

After finishing her meal, Tsunade felt the effects of the alcohol and fatigue. She had come back looking tired and worn out, and in the afternoon she had done something extremely tiring with that lecherous brat in the office. Her legs were still a little weak.

After seeing Jiraiya and Orochimaru off, he went back to his room, lay down on his bed, and fell asleep shortly afterward.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru walked outside for a while, and the cold wind helped them sober up a bit.

Orochimaru wasn't drunk at all. He was just there to keep his friends company and see Nawaki. If Tsunade hadn't insisted on making him drink alcohol, he would have preferred juice. In the end, Orochimaru kept using chakra to remove the alcohol and is still perfectly sober.

"Orochimaru, why do you think Tsunade would seek him out, a man who has two wives and children?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "Kato Dan was a Jonin of outstanding strength in Konoha at the time. His appearance and reputation were impeccable, and he also knew a forbidden soul technique that was difficult for enemies to defend against."

But Uchiha Yoichi was a man with a happy wife and children, which Jiraiya just couldn't understand.

Seeing that Jiraiya still hadn't figured it out, Orochimaru asked helplessly, "Jiraiya, what have you done for Tsunade?"

"I'm doing this for her."

Jiraiya suddenly had a lot to say, but all the words disappeared before he could finish speaking.

What did he do for Tsunade again?

Saving lives on the battlefield? Orochimaru has done that, as have other ninjas. Tsunade even saved him more often with medical ninjutsu. Besides, it's something teammates should do together. It would be stupid for him to bring it up.

As for anything else, he couldn't think of anything else for the moment; his former ideal was to protect Tsunade as she traveled through the ninja world's casinos, but he never managed to do that.

There's nothing else worth mentioning.

"Uchiha Yoichi revived Nawaki for Tsunade's sake, and that's just what we saw. There must be many things we didn't see, but the two of them don't need to tell you. Jiraiya, think about it carefully."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he left immediately. He was no relationship counselor, and Jiraiya was no child either.

After Orochimaru left, Jiraiya stood there for a while, then slowly walked back to his house.

Uchiha Yoichi knew that Tsunade was drinking with Jiraiya and Orochimaru tonight. If it were just Orochimaru, he would have gone, but since it was Jiraiya who started it, he couldn't be bothered to see that guy.

So I went straight home.

When Uchiha Yoichi returned home for dinner, he could feel the growing number of people in his household. There were now eight people at the table, and even though Karin and Sasuke couldn't eat yet, they still had to take up a spot.

Haku and Kimimaro will be able to join the Ninja Academy next year. They are currently studying with Itachi every day and have already made considerable progress.

Although Itachi is a genius, Haku and Kimimaro are also quite strong, and both of them love learning. In a sparring match, Itachi could defeat either of them individually, but if the two of them joined forces, Itachi would be in a very difficult situation and might even lose.

Although Itachi has strong combat talent, he doesn't have the Sharingan now, so this is the limit they can do against Shikotsumyaku and Ice Release.

During the meal, Uchiha Yoichi asked Mina to help the three of them transplant Hashirama cells. The youngest was four years old and was old enough to receive Hashirama cells.

He also planned to study the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) and, incidentally, ask Hyuga Rimi for some Hyuga clan cells so that he could collect enough bloodline limits for all the Otsutsuki clans.

During dinner that evening, Mina Uzumaki learned that Tsunade had returned and was excited to go see her. Tsunade had taught her medical ninjutsu, so she could be considered Tsunade's half-teacher.

However, Mina's words put Uchiha Yoichi in a difficult position. If Mina and Mikoto knew that he had another woman, and that it was Tsunade, the two of them would definitely throw a tantrum.

One girl gently ignored him, while the other looked at him with teary eyes every day, giving Uchiha Yoichi a bit of a headache.

------------

The next day.

After having breakfast at home, Uchiha Yoichi cultivated in the courtyard for a while; he then summoned his clones back and gradually released them.

Streams of genetic energy were transmitted to his body, allowing Uchiha Yoichi to use them to strengthen his body.

Although his cultivation speed slowed down, as if he had hit a bottleneck, the absorption of so much genetic energy every now and then gradually made his body stronger.

He remembered that the body of a high-ranking war god was many times harder than diamond. Now, Uchiha Yoichi's body, even with Armament Haki, could be just as hard, but it was a little less so without any ninjutsu.

There is still a lot of room for improvement!

After finishing his morning training, Uchiha Yoichi went to the Hokage Building. Upon entering his office, he saw the documents he hadn't finished yesterday, which gave him a headache.

I was so engrossed in playing here yesterday that I forgot about work, so it accumulated to this point today.

After splitting into two wooden clones, they moved the documents to two other tables and began processing them.

Uchiha Yoichi's true form was also slowly reviewing and processing the documents, one after another.

Upon seeing the application in his hand, Uchiha Yang paused for a moment, then said, "What are these two guys trying to do? They're already Jonin, why are they jumping into administrative positions?"

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Yoichi summoned an ANBU member to inform Hyuga Satomi and Yuhi Kurenai.

Soon, the two were summoned by the Anbu. After entering the room, Kurenai Yuhi sweetly called out, "Teacher Yoichi, we're here."

Hinata Satomi calmly asked, "Yoichi-sensei, is there any mission?"

"There's no mission. I called you here just to ask why you want to be my assistants. I originally planned to let you gain some mission experience so you could become Jonin team leaders, but if you become my assistants, you'll only be considered administrative ninjas."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Hyuga Satomi spoke first, saying, "Yoichi-sensei, I want to stay by your side. Otherwise, the main branch of the clan will definitely make me go back, and might even use the Caged Bird Seal to force me to marry someone. I don't want that."

"They still dare to do this? I already spoke with Japan about it last time."

Uchiha Yoichi frowned and said, "I'll talk to Hyuga Hiashi again in a while. Although it's an internal matter of the Hyuga clan, you're my student, so I can intervene."

The Hyuga clan's thousand-year-old rules are not very effective in the face of strength and power!
