Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"Um……"

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slowly and looked at Orochimaru secretly. It was the first time someone treated her so gently and cared about her.

Orochimaru did not use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to return to Konoha. On the one hand, Tsunade was still in a coma, and on the other hand, she needed to think carefully about how to explain the girl's origins.

Did she encounter a child born outside the Uchiha clan?

That's a good reason...

Orochimaru thought this reason was very good and enough to shut everyone up, but it was not very friendly to the reputation of the Uchiha clan, so he still needed to convince Uchiha Hikaru to agree.

"Is the current ninja world still the same as before..."

Uchiha Hikaru held the juice he had never drunk in his hands, secretly looking at Orochimaru who was thinking about something. He thought of his past experiences and the terrible Warring States period, and wanted to know if the current ninja world was still the same.

"What do you mean?"

Orochimaru pretended not to understand what Uchiha Hikaru was saying.

"Wars of mutual slaughter and so on... In the era I lived in, wars never stopped..."

The can in Uchiha Hikaru's hand was slightly deformed.

"There are constant frictions between countries, and the situation between ninja villages is not much better. It won't be long before a war breaks out. That won't be a war between ninja clans, but a war between countries on a larger scale."

Orochimaru said truthfully that Uchiha Hikaru would know the answer after learning a little about this matter.

"It's better to destroy this ninja world..."

Uchiha Hikaru bit the straw hard, his little face full of disgust towards the world.

boom--!

Uchiha Hikaru covered his head with one hand, held juice in the other hand, and looked at Orochimaru blankly, as if asking why he hit him.

"Don't destroy the ninja world at every turn. You can't even remove the curse seal on your forehead, and you still want to destroy the ninja world? Are you dreaming? You childish ghost, you are still so childish after being sealed underground for a hundred years."

What Orochimaru hates most are those who always want to dominate the ninja world and destroy it. They are the kind of people who shout slogans very loudly but don't even have any specific plans.

Destroy the ninja world, what happens after destroying the ninja world?

Intoxicated by the admiration of the devastated world?

That kind of giant baby will only affect other people's lives and research!

If you dare to appear in front of her, you will definitely be humanely destroyed!

"Then what should I do? My memories are full of bad memories of the ninja world! Such ninjas... Such a ninja world! You clearly knew that the war was about to break out, why... why didn't you let me destroy... Such a terrible world..."

Uchiha Hikaru clutched Orochimaru's clothes tightly, his voice full of pain and hysteria, his eyes paranoid and angry.

"If you can break the pupil-sealing curse and defeat me, I will let you go. Unfortunately, you can't, and your current body won't allow you to do that. Just stay by my side!"

Orochimaru patted Uchiha Hikaru's head, and the pupil-sealing curse on her forehead disappeared. He felt a great deal of pressure to take care of this child who was of the ancestor level of the Uchiha.

I wonder what expression Uchiha Madara would have if he knew that he had an elder.

Orochimaru thought that the scene must be very interesting. Uchiha Madara, who always relied on his seniority, met an elder who was older than him but looked so young.

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru tried to use her eye power to break the seal that Orochimaru had set to seal her eyes, but her Sharingan was like she had never opened her Mangekyō Sharingan before.

Not only was her own Eight Thousand Spears Eye Technique unusable, but even the Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu transplanted into her eyes were unusable.

Volume 149: Chapter : The Fat Blue Snake

In the evening, the clear river water gurgles, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset.

Uchiha Hikaru staggered along the river bank, wearing a pair of black ninja shoes, and from time to time he looked over at Orochimaru who was examining Tsunade's body.

Well... there is nothing wrong with my body. I slept so long because I was mentally exhausted.

Enduring 72 hours of pain in a short period of time, and leaving the illusion world at that moment caused a huge burden on the brain and spirit, this is the horror of Tsukuyomi...

It only takes a moment to make a powerful ninja lose his fighting ability.

Kakashi Hatake in the original work has a deep understanding of this.

The Mangekyō Sharingan's eye technique is indeed tricky and has serious side effects. However, Hikari's Mangekyō Sharingan seems to be different. Even after using Amaterasu so many times in a row, her eyesight has not decreased.

When it was used as a weapon during the Warring States Period, it must have used pupil techniques quite a bit...

Orochimaru thought of this and looked at Uchiha Hikaru who was secretly looking at him from the river.

She still remembered that in the original work, after the second pillar opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, he soon blinded his own eyes and had to replace them with Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and was "forced" to open the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

At that time, any dog passing by would be beaten by Susanoo.

If I bring Tsunade like this back to Konoha, I'll be scolded by Grandma Mito, right?

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade's still pale face, put his hand on her cheek and stroked it gently. Thinking of what she had said before, a smile appeared on his softened face.

It’s almost time to cook…

Orochimaru looked towards the place where he could get fresh ingredients, the clear river.

Lightning flashed on the surface of the river, and fish floated on the surface.

A moment later, Uchiha Hikaru followed Orochimaru with a few processed fish in each hand and an expression that said "it's okay". Her steps were still a little shaky. It was the first time she saw someone use lightning-style ninjutsu to electrocute fish.

Does she cook often?

Uchiha Hikaru watched Orochimaru skillfully preparing dinner, and always felt that it was not good for him to just watch.

"Um...is there anything I can help with?"

"Here are some snacks for you, just wait."

Orochimaru tossed out a few bags of snacks like a magic trick. To prevent the sensitive child from misunderstanding, he had to explain, "Some things aren't always better with more people. Cooking is like that. I can handle it myself. If you come and help, it will disrupt my rhythm."

"Well, I see."

Uchiha Guang sat aside with the snacks and started eating. These were things she had never eaten before. They tasted very strange and delicious.

Soon after, the milky fish soup in the pot was bubbling, the grilled fish next to the campfire was sizzling, sprinkled with various seasonings, and exuding an enticing aroma. On the other side, a portable rice cooker powered by a chakra battery exuded the unique aroma of rice.

Uchiha Guang looked at the fish soup and grilled fish in the pot, then looked at the rice cooker, her saliva secreting wildly. Suddenly, she felt that the snack called potato chips in her hand was not tasty anymore. She could not remember how long it had been since she had eaten.

"Well……"

Tsunade smelled the fragrance in the air and woke up from her slumber. She saw Uchiha Hikaru sitting in front of the campfire, drooling at the grilled fish and fish soup. She sat up suddenly, feeling dizzy. When she lay down, a cold white arm caught her.

"Are you performing sit-ups?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with a reproachful look in his eyes.

"She, why is she here?"

Tsunade pointed at Uchiha Hikaru and looked at Orochimaru with questioning eyes, almost asking him to give her an explanation.

"Where else can she go if she doesn't follow us?"

Orochimaru tapped Tsunade's forehead and said, "Grilled fish, fish soup, and rice. Oh, and the pickles I made earlier."

"I feel a little dizzy and I can't eat..."

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru expectantly and said coquettishly, "Orochimaru, feed me, okay?"

"There's really nothing I can do about you..."

Orochimaru felt helpless when facing Tsunade's expectant eyes.

Are you really ninjas?

It was the first time that Uchiha Hikaru had seen such a ninja. When Tsunade acted coquettishly, she got goosebumps.

"Hehe, Orochimaru is so thoughtful!"

Tsunade ate the fish meat that was fed to her mouth. The fish bones had been picked out cleanly, so she didn't have to worry about being pricked by the fish bones.

"Ah, it's because you're sick... you need care."

Orochimaru sighed and quickly dismembered a grilled fish and picked out the fish bones.

This was the happiest meal Tsunade had ever had, and Uchiha Hikaru standing next to her didn't seem so annoying anymore.

"Another...another bowl..."

Uchiha Hikaru, who had already eaten three bowls of rice, handed over the bowl again, blushing shyly, and said nervously: "Am I eating too much?"

"No, no, it's normal when you're still growing."

Orochimaru took Uchiha Hikaru's bowl and served her some rice. He looked at Tsunade and said, "Isn't that right, Tsunade?"

"Yeah, it's okay for kids to eat more as they grow. I eat more than you!"

Tsunade nodded, and ate more than Uchiha Hikaru when fed by Orochimaru.

Uchiha Guang breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that she would be disliked for eating too much.

After dinner, Uchiha Hikaru looked at Tsunade seriously.

"What...what happened?"

Tsunade was startled by Uchiha Hikaru and took a defensive stance.

"I'm so... sorry, please forgive me!"

Uchiha Hikaru lowered his head and apologized to Tsunade sincerely.

"Uh... you've been sealed for so many years, it's inevitable that you'll feel resentment towards the Senju clan..."

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Hikaru, who was very sincere, and then looked at Orochimaru, signaling her to say something to ease the atmosphere!

This is the situation I am worst at!

"Tsunade, I forgive you."

Orochimaru placed his hand on Uchiha Hikaru's head and stroked her hair.

"Ok!"

Uchiha Hikaru looked at Orochimaru, then at Tsunade, with a reassuring smile on his face.

At night, when it was time to rest, Uchiha Hikaru was about to propose to keep watch when he saw Orochimaru summon hundreds of snakes with different patterns, and a group of parasitic insects gathered in the air and dispersed as if they had received an order.

"Rest well, leave the night watch to them, there will be no accidents."

Orochimaru adjusted his posture so that Tsunade could be more comfortable when sleeping. As for herself, she could fall asleep anyway because she was already tired enough.

Tsunade felt Orochimaru's movements and felt warm in her heart. She squinted her eyes and snuggled in Orochimaru's arms, like a cat that was acting coquettishly after eating fish.

"sleep……"

Orochimaru patted Tsunade's head gently.

Tsunade hugged Orochimaru's waist, rested her head on her chest, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

I fell asleep so quickly...

Orochimaru looked at the sleeping Tsunade and slowly closed his eyes.

Ok?

When Orochimaru was half asleep, he felt someone approaching. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Uchiha Hikaru approaching quietly.

What is she doing?

It wasn't discovered...

Seeing that Orochimaru and Tsunade were still sleeping, Uchiha Hikaru crawled into the sleeping bag and rolled over to Orochimaru's side. She slowly reached out and hugged her arm. The uneasiness in her heart disappeared, and the nightmare that had always troubled her was dispelled at this moment.

Don’t you feel safe?

Orochimaru looked at the sleeping Uchiha Hikaru. From a psychological point of view, her behavior was a manifestation of insecurity, and she wanted to seek the protection of a more powerful being.

After all, she is just an immature child.

Is it because of their immaturity that they are easier to control?

The next day, Orochimaru didn't want to walk back to Konoha, so he planned to summon a blue snake as a means of transportation.

"Psychic art!"

boom--!
