Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"Is that all you have to say?"

Uzumaki Chigusa glanced at the skirt she was wearing. It was such a suitable skirt for her, but Orochimaru acted as if he didn't notice it. Could it be that his brain was in trouble because he stayed in the laboratory all day?

"The skirt suits you very well."

Orochimaru looked at Uzumaki Chigusa and noticed the way she looked at her skirt. He understood and said what she wanted to hear.

However, this skirt really suits her, simple yet charming.

"Hehe, you still have good taste!"

Uzumaki Chigusa showed a satisfied smile and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. We will help you keep an eye on the Blood Pond Clan."

"If you're ever exposed, just say that I asked you to observe the Blood Pond Clan. In order to better understand the Blood Pond Clan, just let me handle some matters. Don't take on everything without your permission."

Orochimaru formed a seal with one hand and said before leaving that she was afraid that if she didn't explain clearly, Uzumaki Chigusa and the others would be discovered by the people of the Blood Pond Clan, and they would take everything on her.

The problem could have been easily solved, but it becomes very troublesome because of this behavior of taking on the blame.

"Orochimaru, people who are too gentle are not suitable to be ninjas."

Uzumaki Chigusa was stunned for a moment and hugged Orochimaru.

Gentle? Me...

I'm gentle? Are you kidding!

Orochimaru was a little dazed by the hug from Uzumaki Chigusa.

The land of fire, Konoha.

The medical kit improved by Tsunade has become popular in Konoha. Basically all ninjas carry a medical kit with them when they go out on missions. The small medical kit contains many tools and medicines for treating wounds.

At the Senju Mansion, Tsunade was bored and was looking through the relics left by her grandfather in the utility room. In addition to various gambling-related items, there was also a large scroll that sealed ninja tools.

The large scroll was covered in dust and had not been touched for a long time. Perhaps the last time it was touched was when Hashirama Senju was still alive.

"This is……"

Tsunade found a tattered wooden box. From the degree of decay of the box, it could be seen that the things in the box were at least several decades old. The words written on the paper stuck on the box could no longer be seen clearly.

Thunder Escape·Thunder Extreme Moxibustion!

Tsunade became alert and used Thunder Extreme Moxibustion to enhance her reaction ability. She slowly opened the box and an old scroll came into view.

This material...is not the material of the current scroll.

Could it be the forbidden technique of the Senju clan?

Tsunade thought of this and opened the scroll to find that it was a map, not a forbidden technique.

The location marked on the map is not far from Konoha. It was a place not far from the Senju clan's territory many years ago.

Tsunade had looked through the Senju clan's collection of books before. Many years ago, that place was the battlefield where the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan fought.

Could there be buried treasure?

Tsunade raised the scroll in her hand with shining eyes.

Find Orochimaru and go treasure hunting together!

Two people!

Volume 146: Chapter : Enemy at Honnoji Temple

"Treasure Map?"

In the kitchen filled with the aroma of cooking, Orochimaru kept working with a spatula in his hand. He glanced at Tsunade who was peeking out of the doorway and sighed, "You believe this kind of thing? Are you still a 6-year-old child?"

Did I ruin Tsunade?

No, no, no, Tsunade now is much more powerful than in the original book!

Lightning Release: Thunder Extreme Moxibustion is a genuine A-level forbidden technique. She is not only proficient in Lightning Release and Water Release, but also knows a little bit of Fire Release and Earth Release.

In the original work, what else can Tsunade do besides her reckless fighting skills?

I have never seen her use any of the Five Elements Ninjutsu.

When the time is right, teach Tsunade the regeneration technique so that she won't have to develop that useless and life-threatening creative regeneration technique.

"It's true! That's a relic left by my grandfather! The material of the scroll is not the same as the scrolls today. The location on the map is the battlefield where the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan once fought!"

Tsunade leaned her upper body out of the doorway and showed Orochimaru the scroll in her hand.

"That is indeed not the current scroll."

Orochimaru had seen a scroll made of this material in the library of the Hidden Tide Village before and guessed, "This scroll should be a hundred years old, right?"

"I don't know either. Maybe we can find something good! If it's a treasure, won't we get rich?"

Tsunade's face showed a money-grubber smile.

as long as you are happy……

Orochimaru didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to bury treasure on the battlefield, so he used the ninja's fighting style and the treasure buried underground was dug out during the fight.

"Orochimaru, come with me to find the treasure. If we find it, you'll get three and I'll get seven!"

Tsunade suggested excitedly, and when Orochimaru remained unmoved, she made a difficult decision.

"Then you'll be four and I'll be six?"

Seeing that Orochimaru was still unmoved, Tsunade said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, this scroll is a relic passed down by my grandfather, Orochimaru, please don't go too far!"

"Cai Mi, can't you see I'm cooking?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with a hint of impatience in his eyes, put one hand on his waist, raised the spatula in his hand and said: "Or, don't you want to eat anymore?"

"Ah... then I won't bother you anymore."

Tsunade smiled sheepishly and gently closed the kitchen door.

It seems that Tsunade and Orochimaru's relationship is making no progress...

Hinata Mio looked at Tsunade who closed the kitchen door quietly. She felt strange when she thought that so many years had passed and the two of them had not made any progress.

Based on her understanding of Tsunade, she should be very proactive in this matter, right?

"Mio, what are you looking at?"

Tsunade noticed Hinata Mio's gaze looking at her.

"Haven't you made yourself clear yet?"

Hinata Mio's white eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, stared at Tsunade.

"Explain what?"

Tsunade felt inexplicably guilty.

"If she doesn't explain it clearly, Orochimaru won't know. She puts all her energy into research and training."

Hinata Mio was very clear that Orochimaru had scheduled his time very full. If Tsunade didn't tell her, it would be hard for her to think about it. Maybe this was the price of being too precocious. Orochimaru was really too mature.

"You...you are talking about something incomprehensible. I don't understand what you are saying."

Tsunade didn't want to admit that her thoughts were seen through by Hinata Mio.

"Really? That means I still have a chance."

Hinata Mio held her chin with one hand, her white eyes slightly narrowed.

The 21-year-old Hinata Mio possesses a charm that the young Tsunade cannot compare to. She is gentle and beautiful, with elegant manners and well-spoken manners, like a lady from a noble family.

"What did you say?!"

Tsunade opened her eyes wide and looked at Hinata Mio in shock.

"Do you need me to repeat it again?"

Hinata Mio had a faint smile on her face.

Tsunade clenched her fists, alarm bells ringing in her heart, but she couldn't attack Hinata Mio. She never dreamed that her biggest rival in love was in Orochimaru's house.

"Is this the treasure map you mentioned..."

At the dinner table, Orochimaru opened the scroll brought by Tsunade, looked at the marks on the map, and couldn't help but have some doubts about his previous judgment.

Could someone really bury treasure in a place like this?

"Treasure Map?"

Hinata Mio looked over in confusion, looking at the different scroll in Orochimaru's hand. The material was different from the scrolls she was familiar with.

"Mio! The treasure map has nothing to do with you."

Tsunade looked at Hinata Mio warily. She didn't want the two-person treasure hunt to turn into a three-person trip, or let her love rival join in. That was absolutely not allowed!

"Orochimaru and I won't be taking you on our treasure hunt! Just stay and look after the house for Orochimaru!"

Hinata Mio spread her hands, indicating that she was just curious.

Why does it feel like Tsunade is particularly averse to Mio today?

Orochimaru looked at Hinata Mio and Tsunade a little strangely and said, "Tsunade, it is still unknown whether this scroll is a treasure map."

She still didn't quite believe that this scroll could be a treasure map.

However, it's not impossible for her to go with Tsunade to take a look. She is also very curious about what was buried there a hundred years ago.

Even if it is not a treasure, it should be something extremely important to the Senju clan.

Forbidden magic?

When this word appeared in Orochimaru's mind, his heart beat faster. When he thought that it might be a forbidden technique developed by the ancestors of the Senju clan, his heart beat faster again, and a hint of excitement turned red on his cold white face.

What kind of forbidden technique could it be? Unheard of, never seen before?

The forbidden technique that could be buried in this way must be extremely powerful!

The more Orochimaru thought about it, the more excited he became, and he became more and more interested in what was buried in the places marked on the map.

"Mio, Tsunade and I probably won't be gone for long."

After dinner, Orochimaru prepared himself and planned to go to the place marked on the map with Tsunade to see what they could find. Of course, it would be best if it was a forbidden technique.

If it's treasure...

Then leave it to Grandma Mito for safekeeping. The treasure must never be left in Tsunade's hands. Who knows when she will lose it all.

"Mio, Orochimaru's house is in your hands!"

Before leaving, Tsunade looked at Hinata Mio provocatively.

Hinata Mio watched the two of them leave, a thoughtful look on her face.

I don't know if they will make any progress, so I feel a little reluctant to give up like this...

In the forest, Orochimaru and Tsunade left Konoha and headed to the former battlefield of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan according to the location marked on the scroll map.

Tsunade walked beside Orochimaru, looking at her hand from time to time, thinking about how she wanted to hold Orochimaru's hand not long ago but was interrupted by Napaki.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my hand?"

Orochimaru noticed that Tsunade looked at her hands several times, and she was sure that there was nothing on them.

"Um...holding hands..."

Tsunade blushed and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"What happened to Senju? Did you think of something related to the Senju clan?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade's flushed face and guessed, "Could it be something that is not convenient to talk about?"

"I've written down the map. Here it is."

Orochimaru returned the scroll to Tsunade.

That's not what I want to say...

Tsunade put away the scroll in frustration and walked beside Orochimaru. She looked at her hand and thought of what Hinata Mio said. She made up her mind and reached out to hold the cold white hand.

"Ok?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade in confusion.
