Starting with both hands, Orochimaru begs to be his disciple

Bright living room with simple furniture.

Decor in cool colors.

This was Li Quan’s first impression of Orochimaru’s family.

But it’s not a cold color that never changes.

A photo of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sarutobi Hiruzen bathed in the sun.

It adds a touch of warmth to this home.

"If you hadn't come, I would have forgotten about my birthday. Please take a seat while I get ready."

Looking at the three people, Orochimaru laughed awkwardly a few times and seemed a little embarrassed.

Normally, he is not at home often.

For meals and other things, we go to shops outside.

Most of the rest of the time is spent in the laboratory.

The house is basically empty now.

I wanted to get something to entertain a few people, but it was impossible to do so.

"Ready? Should we go buy it now?"

It was a rare sight to see Orochimaru looking so embarrassed, so Tsunade smiled and pointed to the pile of gifts on the side.

"I knew it would be like this. I was ready for it."

As she spoke, Tsunade opened the boxes that were piled together.

Suddenly, a fragrance wafted out.

"Hmm? Is this the barbecue place in the east of the village?"

Taking a deep breath, Jiraiya immediately leaned his head over.

Drooling.

Jiraiya's eyes drifted to another box.

Without any hesitation, he immediately started to help.

Soon, the table in the living room was filled with food.

and also……

A few cases of beer?!

This made Li Quan stunned.

Is Tsunade planning on having a hangover today?

It seems that this woman's drinking behavior is not very good.

He remembered that when he first met Tsunade, the woman had directly used Taijutsu on her.

Nothing bad will happen if you drink it?

You have to keep an eye on it and don't cause any trouble.

"Should we open the presents first, or eat the cake first?"

Looking at the big cake in the middle of the table, Jiraiya licked his lips.

He has never been willing to buy such a luxurious cake.

If it weren't for Tsunade today, he wouldn't even have the chance to see her.

aside.

Li Quan also swallowed his saliva.

Although he had seen the nearly one-meter-long cake on TV, he had never tasted it.

Li Quan glanced sideways at Tsunade and was a little surprised.

Tsunade has become rich recently, so she dares to spend money casually!

The food on the table in front of him probably cost at least tens of thousands of taels, so it was impossible to eat it all.

It would be unreasonable for Tsunade not to thank me.

On the side, Orochimaru didn't react much.

No matter how fancy and eye-catching it is, food is just food.

The desire for food and drink cannot compare to the reality of eternal life.

It was Tsunade's generosity that only made him feel even more guilty.

How will he face Tsunade in the future?

"Why think so much? Today is Orochimaru's birthday."

"It's such a happy thing, there are no so many rules and regulations, just start eating!"

Seeing that several people were hesitating, Tsunade didn't want to bother with anything.

With a wave of her hand, she handed the cake knife to Orochimaru.

"Take it first. After you light the candles and make a wish, you can cut the cake."

hmm~

Nodding, Orochimaru placed the knife on the table.

The lights went out and the fire flickered.

After everyone finished singing Happy Birthday, Orochimaru closed his eyes and made a wish.

At this moment, this scene would continue like this, which seemed to be pretty good.

But the next second, he became determined.

What is the meaning of life?

It is inevitable that everyone will die.

Life is fleeting, is it just spent without any purpose?

Or just enjoy everything that is around you.

Live a simple life?

No, none of these are correct!

People will die.

When you die, everything disappears.

Only by living can he find the meaning of life that he recognizes!

My wish is eternal life!

Use your eternal life to explore the unknown and find the meaning of life!!!

I made this wish in my heart.

Orochimaru slowly opened his eyes and blew out the flame on the candle.

Suddenly, the room fell into darkness.

It seemed like no one responded.

There was silence for a long time.

Click~

The lights suddenly came on.

Li Quan silently withdrew his hand that was pressing the switch.

"Uncle Orochimaru, the cake is taking up space. How about you take a look at my gift first?"

Smiling, Li Quan walked to the table and picked up the lunch box he brought.

"I did this myself."

I opened the lunch box and found only a bowl of plain noodles inside.

The few garnishes were just two slices of green vegetables and an egg.

"Uncle Orochimaru, I once read a story in a book."

"In a large country in the East, people eat this kind of noodles on their birthdays."

"It symbolizes health and longevity, so this light noodle is also called 'longevity' noodles."

Smiling innocently, Li Quan looked up at Orochimaru.

"My family is relatively poor, so this is all I can do. Uncle Orochimaru, you won't mind, right?"

"Ok?"

Jiraiya frowned, his face full of question marks.

Although he doesn't like studying very much.

But he is also familiar with the history of various countries.

How come he has never heard of such a custom?

Could this kid be making this up?

Besides, would Orochimaru be interested in such a thing?

Just a bowl of clear soup noodles.

Can it be as delicious as hand-made ones?

Also, this brat knows Orochimaru?!

It seems like I'm the only one who isn't familiar with this kid?

But soon, he understood.

After all, it is somewhat similar to the rope tree.

It's normal that Orochimaru knew him earlier than him.

left.

Tsunade, however, was a little more curious.

When they were at the grocery store, she didn't see Li Quan bringing anything.

And when she brought Li Quan over, she also didn't notice the lunch box.

Where did this pervert get it from?

Also, where did this little devil pretend to be with the few things that I helped take away before?

Although those things are not too big, they are still quite big when added together.

This

The pervert's trouser pockets are not bulging.

There is a secret hidden from me!

Tsunade's pupils widened and she pouted.

Even though I was so open with him, Li Quan still hid so many things from me.

Bukaisen!

Very unhappy!

But the next second, Tsunade noticed something unusual about Orochimaru.

At this moment, the smile on Orochimaru's face was a little stiff.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It was as if facing a great enemy.

It’s just a bowl of noodles, is it necessary to make such a big deal about it?

However, the origin of this side is interesting.

Eastern countries?

Which Eastern country has this custom?

And the name.

longevity?

It has a very good meaning, a long life.

However, if we were to talk about the longest-lived people in the ninja world, it would definitely be his own family, the Senju clan.

Unless there are any accidents, the average age of the Senju clan seems to be over a hundred years old.

If someone could possess the blood of her Senju clan, he would definitely be able to live to be over a hundred years old.

Her eyes fixed, and she suddenly looked at Orochimaru.

Just do the experiment, but don't set your sights on her people!

Then, Tsunade shook her head in self-mockery.

Although Orochimaru has a cold personality, he is not yet to the point of being cruel.

Moreover.

Orochimaru seems to be only interested in ninjutsu and scientific research.

Probably not.

"Uncle Orochimaru, do you like it?"

Holding the lunch box, Li Quan's "doubtful look" met Orochimaru's gaze.

I don't know if Orochimaru understood what he meant.

It’s best to understand it.

It would be no fun to have Orochimaru offline so early.

"Huh? Oh oh."

"Xiao..., Xiaoquan, you said this is called longevity noodles?"

Looking at Li Quan suspiciously.

Orochimaru swallowed sharply.

Does this young master know something?

"Yes, it's called Longevity Noodles!"
