Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"That's all I have to say. Don't waste this month." Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand to his forehead. "If anyone needs help with training, come find me in the Hokage's office."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen disappeared in a flash, apparently using the instant body technique to leave.

"Sarutobi-sensei is leaving now?"

Jiraiya got up from the ground and dusted himself off. He was fine after being punched by Tsunade, just his right cheek was swollen.

"By the way, Orochimaru, thank you for your loving-kindness, Bingliangmaru!"

Jiraiya thought of the food pills that Orochimaru had given him. If it weren't for those food pills, he wouldn't know how many meals of insect dishes he would have eaten on Mount Myōboku. He smiled brightly at Orochimaru, made a heart shape with his hands, stretched out his hand, and shook his head in a nonchalant manner.

"I feel your deep love! Let's date, Orochimaru!"

"what?!"

Tsunade's eyes widened in shock.

What is Love Soldier Pill?

What's wrong with Jiraiya?

Did Tsunade beat you up in the head?

Something's wrong. Shouldn't you have confessed to Tsunade? Why are you confessing to me?

Just because I look cute doesn’t mean I like you!

Orochimaru's pupils trembled, and many doubts arose in his heart in an instant. Without any hesitation, he refused: "I refuse. It is impossible for you and me."

In Orochimaru's opinion, rejecting Jiraiya's confession even a second later would be disrespectful to himself!

"Ah...you rejected it so decisively..."

Jiraiya lost all color and was petrified on the spot. He didn't expect Orochimaru to reject him so quickly, without even a trace of hesitation.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade and accused her, "Tsunade, you are always so violent towards Jiraiya that you almost broke his head."

"How about we take him to the hospital and let the medical ninja there check him out?"

Tsunade also felt that she might have been too harsh and damaged Jiraiya's brain, which was not very smart to begin with. Otherwise, how could he do such a thing as confessing to Orochimaru?

He must be out of his mind!

That's right, his brain is broken!

Tsunade clenched her fists until they crackled, and it seemed as if a Hannya mask appeared behind her, staring at Jiraiya with fierce eyes.

"Ahahaha! I was just kidding, just kidding!"

Jiraiya quickly distanced himself from Orochimaru and Tsunade, letting out an awkward laugh and waving his hands repeatedly, fearing they would tie him up and send him to the hospital. He stretched out his hands in what he thought was a handsome pose and said, "I, Jiraiya-sama, like older sisters with great figures. Orochimaru and Tsunade, you're not my type!"

"Asshole! Are you kidding me!"

Tsunade's angry iron fist knocked Jiraiya away again.

Ah... My love affair, which hadn't even begun, ended just like that.

Jiraiya, who was spiraling upwards, shed bitter tears.

The children in this world mature too precociously.

Orochimaru looked up at Jiraiya, who was spiraling up into the sky again, this time with tears in his eyes. He thought of the little girl in the original work who liked to scream at handsome boys, and of Uzumaki Naruto, who knew how to use transformation techniques to trick Haruno Sakura into giving him her first kiss at the age of 12 (he would have succeeded if he hadn't gotten a stomachache from drinking expired milk).

Only then did she realize that children in this world mature very early. They knew what love was when they were in the jonin school. When they became genin and went on missions, they had to face many dangers and might even be killed by spies.

From this we can see that children in this world are very precocious, and the world that makes them mature precociously is also very cruel and very realistic.

The dreams of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were never realized. In the Ninja World Wars again and again, young children had to go to the battlefield to fight.

Ultimately, Hashirama Senju was too idealistic. His strength supported his idealistic dream, but once he died, his dream shattered like an illusory soap bubble.

What a pity, Tobirama Senju dedicated everything, even his life, to his dream.

Speaking of which, Tobirama Senju remained single until his death!

He is already a great magician, no wonder he has developed so many forbidden techniques. Is this the power of being single?

When Orochimaru thought of this, the expression on his face became a little more strange.

Volume 40: Chapter Hiruzen, you will regret it!

Uchiha En, the captain of the sixth squad of the Uchiha Police Force, has been in a daze in recent days. Ever since he helped Orochimaru, the disciple of the third Hokage, the new celebrity of Konoha, he reported the villagers' reactions truthfully.

The captain of the police force, who is also the current head of the Uchiha clan, not only gave them bonuses, but also convened a meeting of the elders of the clan.

I don't know what the clan leader and the elders discussed in the meeting, but the result is that the Uchiha police force's style of operation has changed.

What was going on? Why was such an order issued?

Are we Uchiha such a helpful clan?

It has been several days, and Uchiha Yan still hasn't figured out what is going on.

The movements of the Uchiha clan naturally did not escape the attention of Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and En Mito Kado, who had been keeping an eye on the Uchiha clan.

Hokage building, conference room.

"Huruzen, what do you think about the Uchiha clan's actions?"

Danzo Shimura's gaze swept across the faces of Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, and fell on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

"The Uchiha clan is changing their ways and becoming more humane. Isn't that great? All the complaints against them in the past were because they were too inhumane."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile that he was very happy about the changes in the Uchiha clan. In his opinion, the Uchiha clan was also a member of Konoha, and there was no need to always keep an eye on them and be wary of them. Compared with the policy of the second generation Hokage, Senju Hashirama, his ideas were obviously more conscientious.

"Huruzen, you are so naive!"

Shimura Danzo said firmly: "The changes in the Uchiha clan may be planning something. We can't let our guard down!"

"That's right, the Second Hokage... Lord Tobirama is wary of the Uchiha clan because he doesn't want another Uchiha Madara to appear in the Uchiha clan."

Utatane Koharu's opinion is the same as Shimura Danzo's. She does not think that the changes of the Uchiha clan are out of good intentions, and they must be planning something.

That’s the Uchiha clan, and they’ve had a strong man like Uchiha Madara. How could they let their guard down against such a clan?

(Senju Tobirama: That’s right!)

"Hiruzen, what do you think?"

Mito Kado En looked at Utane Koharu beside him, and then at Shimura Danzo. He was not as strong as them, and he wanted to know what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.

"I am optimistic about the changes in the Uchiha clan. I don't think we need to increase our vigilance against the Uchiha clan. That would push the Uchiha clan away. Don't forget that it was the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan that founded Konoha.

We can be wary of the Uchiha clan, but we shouldn't show our vigilance openly, let alone let the Uchiha clan know about it."

It's impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to tell his old friends that the changes in the Uchiha clan might be related to his disciple Orochimaru, right?

The news that the Sixth Squad of the Police Force had helped Orochimaru was widely spread among the villagers, so there was no way he didn't know about it.

"Huruzen, you are always so indecisive. You will regret it if you continue like this. You should do as I say and send more Anbu to monitor the Uchiha clan!"

Danzo Shimura was very unhappy with Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea of "I'm good to you, and everyone is good to you." If this continued, Konoha would sooner or later be destroyed in his hands!

"That's enough Danzo, this is the Hokage's decision!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

"I hope you won't regret your decision today, Hiruzen!"

Shimura Danzo's expression was distorted with anger, and he stood up and walked out.

Nara Pharmacy

After looking through the medicine cabinet, the clerk walked to the counter and said apologetically, "Orochimaru, the herbs you want to buy are sold out. It will take about three days for new herbs to be delivered."

"Hey, you know me?"

Orochimaru looked at the shop assistant in surprise, his gaze falling on the mask and eyes on her face. He had some impression of these eyes.

"Shadow Mimicry!"

The shop assistant made hand seals with her hands and her tone became more powerful.

Of course, no ninjutsu was used.

"Nara Shoka?"

Orochimaru remembered who the shop assistant in front of him was. He had met her before in the Akimichi clan's territory.

"This is the first time I've seen someone like you actively asking to be controlled by the Nara clan's shadow mimicry technique. I'm very impressed with you!"

Nara Matsuka took off his gloves, placed his hands on Orochimaru's head, and said with a smile: "Your hair is very good. I wanted to touch it before."

"Is this considered harassing the guests?"

Orochimaru looked at Nara Matsuka speechlessly. She must grow tall in the future to let these bastards who like to touch other people's heads feel her pain.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense."

Nara Matsuka quickly withdrew her hand, and when she was sure that there were no other customers in the store at the moment, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are there no stocks of the herbs I want to buy?"

Orochimaru asked without giving up, which medicinal ingredient was indispensable to the skin care products she was researching, which played a miraculous role in neutralizing multiple conflicting medicinal ingredients to become an ingredient that could improve the skin.

"I can't help it."

Nara Matsuka took out a map of Konoha's surroundings and pointed to a marked forest. "The herbs you need are in the forest," he said. "If you don't want to leave the village, you can go to the Forest of Death. It's more dangerous there, and the beasts that live there are enormous."

Orochimaru looked at the forest that Nara Matsuka pointed out on the map. It was a forest very close to Konoha, so close that she could randomly summon the Konoha patrol just by screaming.

"Thank you, Sister Songxiang."

"If you come up with anything good, please let me know!"

Having seen Orochimaru's abilities, Nara Matsuka was curious about what else she could come up with.

"I will think about it."

Orochimaru smiled slightly, left the Nara Pharmacy and returned home to pack up simply. He left two shadow clones at home, one to write and the other to study the changes in Yang's chakra properties. Then he walked out of the house with a backpack on his back, jumping between buildings and heading towards the gate of Konoha.

"Stop, please register before leaving."

The two ninjas guarding the gate said as they looked at Orochimaru approaching.

"Thank you."

Orochimaru wrote his name in the registration book.

"Orochimaru...you are not that Orochimaru, are you?"

The ninja guarding the gate saw Orochimaru's name and patted the ninja tool bag on his butt. In the ninja tool bag were a few new military ration pills sold by the Akimichi clan that he had bought not long ago. The old military ration pills were already a thing of the past and no one was interested in them.

After all, the price of the New Soldier's Food Pills is only slightly more expensive than the ordinary ones, which is affordable for all ninjas. Even the Genin who don't earn much money can buy it without hesitation.

"I think I'm the only one named Orochimaru in Konoha."

Orochimaru put down the pen in his hand, turned around and walked out.

"She is the Orochimaru who improved the formula of the Hyorogan pills."

"He looks so young! Like he hasn't even graduated from Ninja School yet."

"Do you think she will participate in the upcoming Chunin Exams?"

"Should be, right? She's the Hokage's apprentice."

The two ninjas guarding the gate spoke to each other.

Volume 41: Chapter : Kumogakure Ninja

The forest was filled with dense mist in the morning, and the water droplets condensed from the mist on the leaves of the plants emitted colorful light in the sunlight, like crystal clear crystals.

Water...reflection...

Isn't this the phenomenon of total reflection?

Orochimaru looked at the water droplets emitting brilliant light in the sunlight, and suddenly had a new idea. He took out a notebook from his backpack and wrote down his inspiration at the moment, and would study it slowly when he had time.

Water can refract light, it can be firelight or lightninglight, refracting lightninglight... isn't that Storm Release?

No, the Storm Release used by the big black man from Kumogakure is not the refraction of light but the use of water flow to control lightning, allowing the difficult-to-control lightning to attack the enemy with precise guidance.

Forget it, I'll study it slowly when I have time.
