Naruto: Starting from the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines

After Chiba separated from Uzumaki Kushina, Chiba returned to Orochimaru's base.

Orochimaru was also packing up things in the base.

Seeing Chiba coming back, Orochimaru put down the things in his hands, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked teasingly: "Don't you want to stay with Kushina for a while?"

Qianyu blushed: "Konoha is not very safe recently, so I sent her home early."

Orochimaru continued to pack up his things, then asked casually, "Really? Have you made a decision?"

Qianyu asked doubtfully: "Decision?"

Orochimaru replied: "I guess you already know why Kushina came to Konoha. You don't have any other friends, so you work so hard to become stronger. I think most of the reason is for Kushina, right?

Konoha wants Kushina to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Judging from your attitude towards Mito-sama, I think you should be very resistant to this decision. After all, I am also your teacher, and I can guess what you are thinking.

Then you also have to make a choice, whether to let Kushina become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, or to find a way to prevent Kushina from becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

You must make this decision early. Mito-sama's health is getting worse day by day. If it has come to the point where it is a done deal, even if you resist this decision, it will not change anything."

Chiba stared at Orochimaru and was silent for a long time.

Orochimaru seemed not to notice Chiba's look and continued to pack his things.

After a long while, Qianyu finally asked, "Teacher Orochimaru, I don't understand. You knew that sooner or later I would leave Konoha, a place I regarded as a cage, so why did you train me so wholeheartedly?

The day I leave Konoha, Orochimaru-sensei, you and I might become enemies."

Orochimaru looked at Chiba and chuckled, "Chiba, I thought you would understand me."

Qianyu's breath hitched.

Indeed, he knew where Orochimaru's future would take him.

But Chiyu really couldn't understand Orochimaru now. Logically, Orochimaru worked so hard to give advice to Konoha. In Chiyu's opinion, Orochimaru should be loyal to Konoha now.

Orochimaru looked at Chiba with his snake eyes and said, "To me, things like the Will of Fire are not important. They are things that can be discarded at any time.

Because in my opinion, these things will constrain me and make it impossible for me to let go of some things.

Life is too short. Being afraid of these things is a waste of time.

But this kind of thing cannot be abandoned just like that. Whether it is me or you, we both need an identity to survive in this ninja world, right?"

Chiba asked, "So... Orochimaru-sensei, will you help me?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "I can tell you clearly that if it is just in the capacity of master and apprentice, no, but if you can pay benefits that can move my heart, then we can cooperate as partners."

Qianyu's lips curled up into a smile: "Teacher Orochimaru, then I can also tell you clearly that I have already made my decision and have already thought of a solution. I also hope that in the future, I can cooperate with Teacher Orochimaru as a partner."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Then I will look forward to that day. However, Kushina is very important to Konoha as the second candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I am curious about what method you have in mind?"

Qianyu's eyes sparkled: "Now that Mito-sama is still alive, Kushina is just a candidate for a backup container. Konoha is attracted by Kushina's special physique as a backup container of the Uzumaki clan. Isn't it good to have an extra backup container of the Uzumaki clan sometimes?"

Orochimaru was surprised and said, "Oh? It seems that you have found the lost members of the Uzumaki clan."

Qianyu shook his head and said, "No, I haven't found it yet, but I have clues. I believe that if I look carefully, I will be able to find it."

Orochimaru suddenly asked: "What if we can't find it?"

Qianyu pondered for a while, then replied seriously: "That depends on my strength at that time."

Orochimaru looked at Chiyu and couldn't stop smiling: "You are so determined, Chiyu."

Qian Yu said in a deep voice: "But I believe that that moment will not come so soon. I still have time. Now I just need to improve my strength. As for the future, we will know how it will develop naturally in the future. By then, I will definitely think of more ways."

Orochimaru agreed, "Indeed, the greater your strength, the more choices you will have.

Qianyu, you are very smart and your strength is getting stronger and stronger. The memories of the three Cloud Ninjas have been analyzed, two are special Jonins and one is a Jonin. The three ninjas disguised as pirates were spies sent by the Hidden Mist Village to explore the Land of Fire, and they have also confessed.

With such achievements, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be a Chunin from tomorrow. If it weren't for the fact that we are not in wartime yet, you might have already become a Special Jonin or a Jonin."

Qianyu was not surprised that she could become a Chunin.

Because he wanted to be promoted, he planned to capture the three spies from the Hidden Mist Village alive and bring back the heads of the three Hidden Cloud Village ninjas.

"Well, have a good rest tonight. After we go to the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs, we won't have time to rest well."

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei."

Chiba said goodbye to Orochimaru and returned to her room.

Lying on the bed, Chiba recalled the conversation between her and Orochimaru just now.

The conversation between him and Orochimaru had been a small showdown.

Chiyu is now very sure that Orochimaru is now beginning to develop the art of immortality by any means necessary.

In this case, Chiba wouldn't have to worry about Orochimaru anymore.

It can be said that he and Orochimaru are now on the same page.

The next day.

Before dawn, Chiba and Orochimaru went to find Sarutobi Hiruzen first, and Sarutobi Hiruzen indeed awarded Chiba the title of Chunin.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen said a few words to Orochimaru, Chiba and Orochimaru went to the gate of Konoha to prepare to leave the Land of Fire and go to the Land of Hot Spring.

In front of the Konoha gate, Chiyu met someone whom he expected but also unexpected.

Uzumaki Kushina.

Chiba walked in front of Uzumaki Kushina and rubbed her cheeks, which were slightly red due to the cold in the early morning.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I can't sleep when I think about you, Qianyu, going to the River Country for a long time, and I also want to come and see you off."

"Don't worry about me. I will write a letter and let my snake bring it to you. When you miss me, you can also let the snake that comes to find you bring the letter to me."

Uzumaki Kushina held out her pinky finger: "Then it's a deal!"

Chiba hooked Uzumaki Kushina's pinky finger, "Ah, it's a deal!"

After saying goodbye to Uzumaki Kushina, Chiba and Orochimaru set out for the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs.
