Tsunade listened silently to Iori's account, unsure how to evaluate Iori's life.
Was it painful? Compared to the ninjas of the ninja world, his painful life was as wonderful as paradise.
Is he happy? Looking at his expression, that place is like a graveyard to him, where some people have already passed away in their youth and were only buried in the ground decades later.
"And now? How do you feel about life in the ninja world?" Tsunade asked with some curiosity. She was no longer concerned about Iori's past life, but instead became curious about his past in this life.
"Now? The ninja world is also hell. Compared to the peaceful world of the past, death in this world is more abrupt and disgusting," Iori said calmly.
Just as Iori had accepted his new parents and a new life, his life collapsed again. During a simple mission, his parents in this life died as easily as a feather.
If it weren't for the care and help from Shisui and his friends Kaori Uzuki and Takumi Kurama, Iori wouldn't be the way she is now.
“But things are different now. I have gained power, enough to change the world.”
Iori stretched out one hand, spread her fingers, and then clenched it into a fist, as if she were holding the whole world in her hands.
"This time, it's not the world that changes me, but I who will reshape the world according to my own ideas."
"I want to create a world where good people are rewarded, a world where everyone has the opportunity to choose their own future."
Iori's tone gradually became more passionate; this was the first time he had ever revealed his thoughts to someone else.
With endless life and immense power within reach, Iori will eventually sink into nothingness without a goal.
This purpose is the anchor point that Iori chose for himself, his original intention, to help him maintain his humanity in immortality.
Tsunade looked at Iori, smiled gently, and hugged him softly.
"Your wish is just like Grandpa's, Iori." Tsunade gently stroked Iori's head. "I will help you, please use my power."
As they released each other's hands, Iori and Tsunade locked eyes, and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
The two drew closer and closer, almost touching.
"Ahem, Lady Tsunade, Lord Orochimaru has come to visit." Shizune knocked on the door, interrupting their eye contact.
Tsunade and Iori quickly tidied themselves up, and Tsunade said to Shizune outside the door, "Let him in."
Orochimaru pushed open the door and walked in, with Shizune following him inside.
Orochimaru was about to speak when his gaze was drawn to the interior decoration.
He looked around curiously, momentarily forgetting what he was about to say.
"Iori-kun, is this also a spiritual weapon?" Orochimaru asked with a half-smile, his eyes gleaming with inquiry.
"I wonder if Iori would be willing to share some information? I can exchange some special ninjutsu for it."
Iori glanced at Orochimaru, smiled, and said, "Lord Orochimaru, there will be a time when we can make a deal, but not now."
"You're not here for my magical artifact, so please get to the point."
Before transforming into Alaya, Iori didn't intend to reveal the truth to too many people, especially not to a mad scientist like Orochimaru. Giving him appropriate hints and keeping him in suspense would be enough.
Orochimaru wasn't in a hurry. He just thought that Iori didn't yet understand the conditions he could offer, and planned to use a sufficiently substantial offer to persuade him after returning to the village.
Orochimaru turned to Tsunade, a serious expression on his face. "The Sand Village reacted quickly. Chiyo learned about the situation at the other two camps after she escaped."
"Upon learning that both routes had been defeated, she decisively issued a request for peace talks and sent someone to the capital of the Land of Wind to request the daimyo's envoy to come and mediate."
Orochimaru recounted the information he knew in detail.
“I have already sent someone to the capital of the Land of Fire to ask the daimyo to send an envoy. But if the envoy from the Land of Wind arrives first, Tsunade, only you are qualified to be his equal.”
Tsunade also holds the title of princess in the Land of Fire, but she doesn't have much affection for daimyo and nobles, so she always keeps her distance.
When Iori heard that the daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire were planning to intervene, he showed a look of disgust and curled his lip.
[Once I've consolidated Konoha, it will be the end for you bunch of trash. Enjoy your last moments.]
Iori thought to himself, but he did not intend to indiscriminately kill all the nobles. Instead, he would make a judgment based on their specific behavior.
If their behavior conforms to the morality of the feudal era, they can be given a chance to reform.
After Orochimaru finished speaking, he gave Tsunade and Iori a deep look, then left with a strange smile on his face.
[It seems Jiraiya, that idiot, has no hope. What a pity, but it's also quite amusing.]
Iori felt a chill run down his spine at Orochimaru's expression. He turned to Tsunade and asked, "Did he find out?"
Tsunade sighed, "It would be strange if he didn't notice when we made it so obvious."
"It's all your fault. What will they think of me now? A Senju clan member and an Uchiha clan member in love, and they're more than ten years apart in age." Tsunade was on the verge of tears.
Iori, shameless as ever, didn't say anything, but simply made sure to get Shizune a projection package as well.
After Orochimaru interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere, Iori lost interest in continuing the ambiguous relationship. After saying goodbye to Tsunade and Shizune, he also left the cave.
Shizune lay on the bed, looking blissfully happy, and said, "Lady Tsunade, it would be wonderful if I could sleep in a place like this every day."
Tsunade looked at the appliances and furniture in front of her, and then thought of the future that Iori had mentioned.
She thought for a while and convinced herself, "If Grandpa were still alive, he would definitely support me."
Tsunade chased after Iori and went out the door, but Iori hadn't gone far.
Tsunade took out a scroll and said to Iori, "Take this. This is the secret teaching of my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather, containing all the profound secrets of the Senju clan's Wood Release and Water Release."
Iori looked at Tsunade in surprise. This was the Senju clan's most treasured inheritance, and Tsunade had given it to him so easily.
After thinking for a moment, Iori did not refuse her kindness and solemnly accepted the scroll.
By analyzing the First Hokage's necklace, Iori has learned Wood Release ninjutsu, although it may not be as powerful as Yamato's.
However, the ninjutsu learned through such means was kept secret until Iori became Hokage.
Tsunade's gift allowed Iori to legitimately use these ninjutsu, including the Flying Thunder God Technique.
“I will make good use of it, Tsunade,” Iori said earnestly.
"I believe you." After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned and left. Iori watched her leave and then returned to his own tent.
Chapter 63: I'll kill this born evil brat from the Uchiha clan (I made up the beginning, but the following scene is a famous one).
Back in the tent, Uchiha Iori picked up the scroll and began deep synchronization.
Surprisingly, Tobirama Senju's notebook did not contain any forbidden techniques, including the Impure World Reincarnation technique and the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags.
However, his other ninjutsu are very comprehensive, including Water Release, Flying Thunder God Technique, Barrier Technique, Taijutsu, and so on.
Hashirama Senju's notes only contain Wood Release techniques, not methods for cultivating Sage Mode.
[It's a real shame that the Impure World Reincarnation technique was probably not recorded because of Hashirama Senju's opposition; an incomplete version is likely only found in the Scroll of Seals.]
[But why weren't Hashirama Senju's Sage Techniques recorded? His Sage Techniques were clearly perfect!]
Iori thought about it carefully and roughly understood the reason.
[It's probably because Hashirama's Sage Mode was a completely specialized version; no one else could learn it.]
[With such a high probability of death from immortal techniques, it's likely that anyone who really wants to cultivate them would go to the Wet Bone Forest and find the Slug Immortal to cultivate with, rather than cultivating them on their own.]
It depends on luck. If I can synchronize with their memories of using the relevant ninjutsu, I can learn it even if it's not recorded in my notes.
If not, we'll have to look for other opportunities.
With that in mind, Uchiha began to seriously synchronize with Tobirama Senju's memories while he was writing.
-----------------
What came into view was a battlefield of carnage, where countless ninjas were fighting. The enemy's red eyes and fan-shaped family crests suggested that this battle was likely a fight between the Senju (Thousand Hands) clans.
"Die, Flying Thunder God Slash!" Iori's perspective overlapped with Tobirama's, watching himself teleport to a corner and kill an Uchiha ninja with a single sword strike from a blind spot.
[It seems this is an application of the Flying Thunder God Technique. The Flying Thunder God Slash has been executed. Hmm, so that's how the Flying Thunder God mark is set up. So that's how space is sensed. Hmm, this will definitely be useful next time.]
Iori carefully studied the spell and the casting process, and began to learn.
After killing the ninja in front of him, Tobirama quickly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Wall".
After the two seals, the water barrier rotated around Tobirama in a circular motion, preventing attacks from other ninjas.
[It only requires two seals, and the water array barrier it releases provides full-body defense—I stole it.]
Tobirama clasped his hands together and instantly summoned water that spun and rose rapidly like a tornado, engulfing the enemy.
The water then spread out like a waterfall, crashing down upon the enemy and eventually forming a large river. "Water Release: Water Rush Wave"
[Clap your hands, and whatever you shout comes true! You're a true brother, this one's mine too.]
"Damn you, White-haired Senju, prepare to die!" A three-tomoe Uchiha ninja charged forward, unleashing a powerful "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire!"
Several fire dragon heads flew out of his mouth and shot towards Tobirama.
Tobirama quickly formed three hand seals: "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet"
A water dragon formed by a stream of water rushed forward, extinguishing the fire dragon before continuing its flight towards the Uchiha ninja.
The Uchiha ninja dodged in a flash and approached Tobirama. Behind him, two ninjas rushed out, trying to attack Tobirama from both sides.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave." Tobirama rapidly exhaled a straight jet of water with extremely high pressure from his mouth, like a sharp blade.
He spun around, and apart from the Uchiha with three tomoe narrowly dodging, the two ninjas who tried to sneak up on him from behind were sliced in half.
[That's brutal. I like it, so I stole it too.]
The three-tomoe Uchiha ninja instantly appeared in front of Tobirama and swung a huge flaming blade: "Uchiha Style: Gale Sword".
Tobirama instantly merged into the water, dodging the attack. "Water Release: Wave Strike," the water current instantly dragged the enemy into the water, suffocating him to death.
After dealing with the enemy in front of him, Tobirama sat down to catch his breath. The continuous battles had consumed a lot of his energy and chakra.
[Hmm, I hope the upcoming battles aren't all against the Uchiha clan. Just how much does that white-haired old man hate us?]
After recovering some of his strength and energy, Tobirama knelt on one knee, touched the bottom with two fingers, and activated his chakra perception. He marked a special reaction in the distance.
[This is good, but I don't know which is better, the Kagura's Mind's Eye from the Uzumaki family or the other.]
Tobirama followed his senses and headed to his destination, while Iori seemed to have guessed something.
[Could it be Uchiha Izuna? That would be a truly deep love.]
Tobirama arrived at his destination, and the Uchiha opposite him indeed looked very much like Sasuke in his memory.
"Izuna, you born evil brat from the Uchiha clan, I'll be the one to kill you," Tobirama said, looking at Uchiha Izuna.
