Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

"Rope tree..."

Orochimaru looked at Senju Nawaki who was eating noodles silently at the table with amusement, and couldn't help but understand Tsunade a little.

This child's talent is definitely not bad. After all, it is normal for him to play with swords and sticks since childhood, but it is rare for him to know how to put on armor.

"Ah."

Tsunade snorted in annoyance, and curled the corners of her mouth downwards. It was so troublesome.

"When he grows up a little, I will teach him."

Orochimaru's smile became unusually gentle.

Tsunade frowned and looked at Orochimaru.

It's not that she doesn't trust Orochimaru. On the contrary, in her heart, Orochimaru ranks second only to Kozo in terms of reliability.

It’s just that Orochimaru and Kozo are the opposite.

Gu Zang is lazy and wants to finish things quickly and well, but Orochimaru has always been a person with strong purpose and execution. He always has his reasons for doing anything. Why did he collect the rope tree?

Orochimaru knew what Tsunade's expression was without even looking.

"We are all busy, but there must always be some bond."

Orochimaru's unclear explanation hit the mark exactly with Tsunade. She was stunned for a long time before nodding.

Actually, what Orochimaru said was not wrong.

He felt more and more that he was a little cold-blooded, especially after he came into contact with spiritualism and saw the Longdi Cave a while ago, this feeling became even stronger.

Although Orochimaru knew that he was just setting clear goals and doing things in an organized manner.

But this doesn't mean others see it that way.

He needed a bond to bind himself to this increasingly unclear village, a link to maintain the relationship between himself and his companions, and even more needed a disciple to pass on his inventions.

If he does not pursue his pursuit to the extreme, then at least Orochimaru needs a descendant to inherit his property and continue on this path.

Rope Tree has a good background and will basically never be liquidated or subjected to the worst means under any circumstances. This is the identity of Orochimaru's most ideal disciple.

"Hey! Orochimaru! Are you going to take this little guy as your disciple!?"

Mitarai Toumaru suddenly jumped out. Of course, he had been right there the whole time, but he had been keeping his presence low.

Orochimaru nodded.

"That's the plan."

"This..." Mitarai Toumaru smacked his lips meaningfully.

In fact, if they were not of similar age, he would also like to become Orochimaru's disciple.

But I can't say this, it's too embarrassing.

"What's wrong, Toumaru?"

Orochimaru asked calmly.

"No... I have a son, and I'll let you train him. If I can't defeat you, ask my son to defeat you!"

"Ah..."

Orochimaru smiled helplessly.

Mitarai Toumaru has a good plan. He wants Orochimaru to teach his son, and then let his son defeat Orochimaru in turn. What kind of weird logic is this?

"Hey! What are you laughing at? I'm serious!"

Mitarai Toumaru suddenly shouted, he felt that his opinion was being ignored.

"You should get married first, Dongwan. All your money is spent on training."

Orochimaru patted Mitarai Toumaru's shoulder and said to Toumaru, "It's useless to say that."

If you want a son, you need a wife. If you want a wife, you need money. If you want money, you need strength. If you want strength, you need money. If you want...

Mitarashi Toumaru had already sucked up all the noodles in his bowl. Now he was sitting next to Orochimaru, feeling abandoned by the world and depressed.

Gu Zang happily watched the three people interacting at the table and couldn't help but feel that it was great to be young.

However, the character Dongwan did not appear in the original plot.

Speaking of which, Toumaru was actually quite outstanding, but he was not mentioned in the original plot, so he probably died very early on.

Orochimaru did have a little follower later, Anko Mitarashi, who was most likely the descendant of Toumaru.

After eating ramen, Tsunade returned to the Senju residence with the autistic Nawaki and Kozo.

As soon as Gu Zang returned home, he locked himself in the house. As for Nawaki, Tsunade would take him to visit Uzumaki Mito later.

Although Uzumaki Mito is Tsunade's grandmother, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito does not live in the Senju mansion. Although Senju Tobirama is very confident in his sister-in-law, after Hashirama's death, Uzumaki Mito chose to fade out of Konoha's sight and moved out.

Gu Zang returned to his house and did not immediately start a new round of attempts to create a human being. Instead, he carefully tidied up the house, making it look no different from usual.

Gu Zang felt that he was being targeted again.

At midnight, Tsunade and Nawaki had not returned yet, and the Senju Mansion welcomed its new owner.

"Ancient Tibetan."

The air pressure in Senju Tobirama was very strong. He stood at the door of Gu Zang's house, and the door of Gu Zang's house opened automatically.

"Come in and sit down~"

Gu Zang waved his hand.

Senju Tobirama didn't say anything polite, this was originally his home.

He took two steps into the house and sat down opposite Gu Zang.

Both of them knew that they had just had a fight yesterday, and Senju Tobirama would not want to see Gu Zang in the short term, but he came.

It was because during the day, Gu Zang took Shengshu out of the Senju Mansion.

"reason."

Senju Tobirama didn't believe that the cautious Gu Zang would take Naoki out to test him today just because he beat him up yesterday. This was not only imprudent, but also stupid.

How could he know that Gu Zang wanted to learn about the human body structure on a whim, and only when he brought Naoki to Konoha Hospital did he remember to keep his identity secret.

"Alas...I can't protect it."

Gu Zang sighed and shook his head seriously.

"Kato Dan, you know, right?"

I'm sorry, but you died a miserable death anyway. I believe you won't mind taking another blame, Gu Zang thought to himself.

"The art of spiritual transformation."

Senju Tobirama nodded. This was his impression of Kato Dan, simple and straightforward.

"There's something going on between that kid and Tsunade."

Senju Tobirama frowned, turned his head slightly, and looked at Gu Zang.

"Signs? Is he going to take action against Tsunami?"

The terrifying murderous intent emanated from Senju Tobirama, which almost frightened Gu Zang to death. This tangible murderous intent seemed more terrifying than any Senju Tobirama he had ever seen!

"No, you old straight man, there are some signs of that between him and Tsunade!"

The murderous intent stopped abruptly, and then flickered intermittently a few times.

Gu Zang suspected that Senju Tobirama was a little hesitant now.

Logically speaking, Kato Dan, a civilian ninja, only has a special spiritual transformation technique and is not worthy of Tsunade.

But Senju Tobirama didn't want to interfere too much in Tsunade's affairs, especially after the birth of Nawaki. As for his granddaughter Tsunade, Senju Tobirama wanted her to decide her own affairs freely.

Senju Tobirama's thoughts flashed quickly, and he turned to look at Gu Zang, motioning him to continue.

"Or maybe you're straight. Young men and women always have a lot to talk about. Rope Tree is such a naughty kid. He's definitely an interesting topic. Kato Dan already knows about Rope Tree's existence."

That’s right, Gu Zang didn’t lie to Senju Tobirama at all, it’s just that the order of each step was disrupted.

Would Senju Tobirama hold Tsunade responsible for leaking information about Rope Tree? Of course not.

He is Tobirama Senju. If we want to deal with someone, we must deal with Kato Dan, right?

Senju Tobirama fell silent.

After a while, he got up and walked to the door.

"Gu Zang, what do you think of the current Uchiha?"

What do I think? I don't want to see it! How dare I interfere in this mess? How dare I make suggestions?

I, the key suspect who was just hacked half to death by Senju Tobirama, turned around and gave suggestions to Senju Tobirama about another key suspect, Uchiha. Am I courting death?

Gu Zang lay down on the mat and responded to Senju Tobirama neatly.

"I have no eyes."

"very good."

As Senju Tobirama finished speaking, his figure disappeared at the door.
