Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Tsunade initially dismissed Orochimaru's statement.

When her brother and lover were finally mentioned, her expression changed, and with a flicker in her eyes, she slowly lowered her clenched fist.

Seeing this, Orochimaru smirked.

Then, he looked at Yu Yi Xuan Yue and suggested, "Senior Yu Yi, let's give Tsunade some time. Forcing her will only lead to mutual destruction. Once she understands things, everything will be easier to resolve."

Orochimaru didn't want Hagoromo Gengetsu and Tsunade to actually fight to the death.

Regardless of who won or lost, Tsunade will definitely be out of form after the battle.

This will further prolong the treatment time for my own hands.

Yes.

Orochimaru was convinced that Tsunade would agree to his conditions.

As a former comrade, he was well aware of Dan and Nawaki's place in Tsunade's heart.

All it takes is time.

Tsunade will eventually realize what she truly needs most in her heart.

Forcing the other party will only lead to the opposite result.

Therefore, Orochimaru chose to intervene at this time to stabilize Tsunade and Hagoromo Gengetsu.

He didn't care whether Tsunade would agree to Hagoromo Gengetsu's conditions.

Otherwise, he could have easily linked Yu Yi Xuan Yue's transaction with his own.

Did this earn Yu Yi Xuan Yue's gratitude?

Ha ha.

He wasn't that kind-hearted, and he never cared about such vague and unrealistic things.

More than anything, Orochimaru, who outwardly showed respect, actually wanted to dissect his senior properly.

Even if it's impossible.

Knowing what Yu Yi Xuan Yue wanted, he could use this to have a good talk with her, which would undoubtedly bring him a huge benefit.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a fallen leaf that broke the stillness on the field.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue's eyes darted around as she looked at Orochimaru.

He was fully aware of what this snake-like, more human-like creature was up to.

However, since the other party had offered a way out, and considering that Tsunade was currently unyielding, coupled with the information just transmitted by the shadow clone, Hagoromo Gengetsu thought for a moment and decided to comply.

I await your reply.

After speaking calmly, Yu Yi Xuan Yue stood aside, observing Orochimaru and Tsunade's continued conversation while watching the shadow clones outside Tanabata Street transmit back memories of the arrival of white-haired Jiraiya and blond-haired Naruto Uzumaki.

"The Three Legendary Sannin are now complete."

Tansaku Street isn't very big.

If a real fight breaks out, Jiraiya will probably arrive within minutes.

This is also one of the reasons why Yu Yi Xuan Yue did not make a move.

Fortunately, he wasn't in a hurry.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced at the confident Orochimaru, and when he heard that the other party would ask Tsunade for seven days to consider, a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

It's still uncertain who will have the last laugh.

Fortunately, with Orochimaru's help, I can try another method.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue's gaze swept past Tsunade and landed on Shizune, a meaningful light flashing in her eyes.

"Tsunade, I'm looking forward to your good news."

Leaving behind his final words, Orochimaru shifted his gaze from Tsunade to Hagoromo Gengetsu, nodded slightly, and vanished along with Kabuto.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue didn't say anything more. She glanced one last time at Tsunade, who was deep in thought, and Shizune, who was anxious and worried, before her body quickly sank down.

The alleyway returned to peace once again.

Until Shizune's voice, constantly trying to persuade Tsunade, rang out.

Fifteen minutes later, in front of the alleyway crushed by the giant snake.

Not long after entering Tanabata Street, Jiraiya heard a panicked person shouting that a giant snake was causing destruction. He immediately realized what was going on and, after finding out the location, rushed there with Naruto Uzumaki.

He was just too late.

Tsunade and Shizune, who remained at the end, have already left.

"Are we still a step too late?" Jiraiya didn't delay and quickly stepped forward. "Let's go, Naruto. Tsunade isn't here anymore."

"What's going on? They've been urging me to leave ever since." Naruto muttered, confused, and quickly followed.

the other side.

The forest beyond Tanabata Street.

Not long after they parted, Hagoromo Gengetsu and Orochimaru met again.

"Is there anything else, Orochimaru?" Yu Yi Xuan Yue asked calmly, arms crossed.

Orochimaru, a great scientist and educator, might be considered a highly desirable figure by many time travelers.

After all, whether one becomes a subordinate who could betray them at any time or a fellow explorer on the path of science, the gains far outweigh the dangers.

However, Yu Yi Xuan Yue was not among these people.

Having transmigrated decades earlier and already reached the pinnacle of the ninja world, his research into chakra only deepened, so he didn't care much about Orochimaru, his junior.

Therefore, he reacted indifferently to Orochimaru's apparent idea of ​​cooperation.

Seemingly oblivious to Yui Gengetsu's current attitude, Orochimaru smiled and said, "Senior Yui is looking forward to obtaining the Spirit Transformation Technique, isn't he?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue raised her eyelids slightly: "So?"

Everyone here is smart, so he wouldn't say something like "it doesn't matter if I can't have it."

Orochimaru shrugged and explained his purpose: "If you can't get it from Tsunade, you might as well mention it to me, Hagoromo-senpai."

"Oh? Do you possess the art of spirit transformation?" Yu Yi Xuan Yue became interested.

"Just because I don't have any now doesn't mean I won't have any in the future. I still have quite a few helpers within Konoha," Orochimaru said confidently.

"I see."

Knowing that Orochimaru was after her qualities, Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't ask any more questions.

Although I have my own plans, it doesn't hurt to have another option.

It only takes a sentence anyway.

"My conditions remain unchanged. You can come find me once you have obtained the Spirit Transformation Technique."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded to Orochimaru and then disappeared.

a little.

Looking at the spot where Yu Yi Xuan Yue had disappeared, Yakushi Kabuto, who was beside Orochimaru, habitually adjusted his glasses and said:

"It's strange that someone like Yu Yi Gengetsu is so determined to obtain the Spirit Transformation Technique. Lord Orochimaru, do you know why?"

Orochimaru extended his long, bloody tongue and licked his lips, savoring the taste:

"Who knows?"

He knew a thing or two about spiritification techniques because of Tsunade.

Although this secret technique is very peculiar, it shouldn't be something that would make Yu Yi Gen Yue, whose ninjutsu knowledge is even richer than hers, so eager to obtain it.

Thank you to "King's Bookmarks" for the 100-coin reward.

Chapter 32 Destined Result

Orochimaru's eyes suddenly flashed.

Given his pursuit of immortality, it's easy to understand why Yu Yi Xuan Yue was so determined to break free from his constraints and was unwilling to return to the underworld.

But before that, he thought that the most Yu Yi Xuan Yue could do was to live a little longer before the expiration of the Impure World Body.

However, when Hagoromo Gengetsu unexpectedly appeared before Tsunade seeking the technique of spiritualization, Orochimaru realized that he had underestimated the ambition of this senior.

"A true resurrection?"

Orochimaru licked his lips again, thinking excitedly.

Can something like this really succeed?

Orochimaru had never seen or heard of anyone who could bring the dead back to life.

Even he himself could only achieve "resurrection" at the cost of splitting his soul and leaving serious aftereffects.

This is not a resurrection in the true sense, since he did not die in the real sense.

Is Yu Yi Xuan Yue capable of doing that?

Orochimaru began to seriously consider the Spirit Transformation Technique once again.

As the most skilled researcher in the ninja world today, he quickly deduced why Hagoromo Gengetsu needed the Spirit Transformation Technique.

"The Spirit Transformation Technique allows the soul to separate from the body. Is Yu Yi Xuan Yue trying to break free from the shackles of the Impure Earth Body?"

Orochimaru frowned.

"The constraints from the underworld are far more terrifying than I imagined. Will the spiritification technique succeed?"

"Even if they succeed, what about their body? Does the other person decide to become a wandering ghost? Or perhaps merge with someone else's body?"

This is not an easy task.

The body's rejection mechanism will strongly resist the intrusion of a strange soul.
