Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Or, let her hit me with a snowball once?

Orochimaru thought with some tiredness that Tsunade had used various methods to divert her attention along the way, so she wanted to hit her with a snowball once.

"Wow! Orochimaru, look what that is!"

Tsunade widened her bright brown eyes and looked towards the snowy ground over there, as if she had seen something very strange.

If Orochimaru dodges me again this time, I'll give up!

I bet Orochimaru can't dodge it!

Tsunade thought so and threw the snowball in her hand when Orochimaru looked over.

boom--!

The snowball hit Orochimaru's face, breaking into pieces and falling to the ground. Some of it stuck to her face, and spots of bright red dripped down her red nose. The glaring bright red was particularly conspicuous on the snow.

"Ah! Orochimaru, why aren't you hiding?"

Tsunade hurried over, using the Palm Fairy Technique to treat Orochimaru's bleeding nose with one hand, and with the other hand she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to him.

"You squeezed the snowball too hard."

Orochimaru wiped the blood from his nose with a handkerchief. When she was hit by the snowball just now, she felt like someone had punched her in the face.

"I'm sorry... I thought you would get away with it... I bet in my heart that you couldn't get away with it, but I didn't expect to win..."

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru's red nose and the bloodstains on his cold white skin, and felt very sorry.

"I thought that if I was hit by you once, you wouldn't have to think about hitting me with snowballs again. I forgot to use chakra to protect myself."

Orochimaru smiled slightly, reached out and took Tsunade's hand, put the handkerchief away, and pulled her towards the cave where the Ibri clan lived.

"Isn't this great? Tsunade, who has bad luck in gambling, finally won once, even though I'm the unlucky one..."

Normally, being hit by a snowball wouldn't be a big deal, but it was a snowball made by Tsunade, and it was as solid as a stone.

"Not good at all! Who wants to win a bet on something like this?"

Tsunade shook off Orochimaru's hand and said angrily. She was angry with Orochimaru, and even more angry with herself.

puff--!

Orochimaru made a snowball and smeared it on Tsunade's face, then patted the snow off his hands and said, "Here's your snowball back."

"Ugh... Orochimaru!"

Tsunade clenched her fists and rushed towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru dodged Tsunade and headed towards the cave where the Ibri clan lived.

"Don't run!"

Tsunade saw that Orochimaru was trying to escape and chased after him.

"This is the cave where the Ibri people live."

Orochimaru stopped in front of the cave where the Ibri clan lived and looked at Tsunade who was breathing slightly. "Tsunade, I will wash your handkerchief and return it to you."

"Orochimaru...why are you running like that?"

Tsunade thought of Orochimaru's running posture just now, which was not with his hands behind his back.

Orochimaru walked into the cave and explained, "My previous posture saves more energy. The reason why ninjas put their hands behind their backs when running is so that they can take out ninja tools at any time."

"Lord Orochimaru?"

The smoke condensed into a young woman, who covered her mouth in surprise when she saw Orochimaru.

"Xueliu, please tell me, is Chief Qinghe here? I have something important to discuss with him. I am here to represent Konoha and the Hokage."

Orochimaru said with a smile, and the information revealed in his words made Xueliu understand what was going on.

"Lord Orochimaru, Chief Qinghe is not here, but Deputy Chief Chiri Yu is here."

Xueliu had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Won't you introduce me?

Tsunade, who was standing next to Orochimaru, thought very unhappily.

"Oh, by the way, this is Tsunade, my friend."

Orochimaru introduced Tsunade to Xueliu and then said, "Please take us in."

"Well, please come with me."

Xueliu led Orochimaru and Tsunade into a cave with a barrier at the entrance. The warm light cooled the darkness, and the cold was kept out.

"Lord Orochimaru, please wait a moment. I will go and call Deputy Clan Leader Chiri Yu."

The snow turned into smoke and drifted away.

I can now use my bloodline limit normally, and the stabilization pills are quite effective.

Orochimaru was very satisfied with the effect of the stabilization pill he developed.

"Orochimaru!"

Tsunade walked up to Orochimaru, staring at her with her beautiful bright brown eyes, her face almost touching hers.

"what happened?"

Orochimaru asked curiously.

"Why did the guy named Xueliu just now call you sir?"

"Because the medicine I developed solved the Ibri clan's bloodline disease, that's why they call me that." Orochimaru explained, pointing his finger at Tsunade's forehead and pushing it.

"Too close."

"Are you disgusted with me?"

Instead of retreating, Tsunade moved even closer.

"Why not? You don't want Deputy Chief Zhili Yu to come over and see us in this position, do you?"

Orochimaru signaled Tsunade to pay attention to her current posture.

"what……"

Tsunade then noticed that she was almost lying on Orochimaru. Her cute little face flushed, and she distanced herself from him, saying stubbornly, "Humph! I'm willing, and no one else can interfere!"

Orochimaru and Chisato were sitting at the table, the aroma of freshly brewed tea wafting in the air. Tsunade was standing behind Orochimaru, waiting for their conversation to end boredly.

Chiriyu asked seriously, "Excuse me, Konoha and Hokage-sama asked you to come here, what is the matter?"

"Hokage-sama wishes to invite the Ibri clan to join Konoha. Deputy Clan Leader Chiri Yu, can you make the decision? Do we need to wait for Clan Leader Qinghe to return?"

Orochimaru stared at Chiri Yu, wondering if he could make a decision. The clan leader was not there, and if he couldn't make a decision, he would have to wait for the clan leader to come back.

"Before leaving, Chief Qinghe handed over all matters within the clan to me, but I cannot make decisions on behalf of the entire clan."

Chiri Yu showed no desire to join Konoha, nor did he refuse. Instead, he seemed to be waiting for something.

Orochimaru understood and said, "The Hokage will arrange a place for the Ibri clan in Konoha as their home, help them build a new home, and provide them with a settlement allowance."

With the Ibri clan's bloodline limits and without the troubles of bloodline diseases, they are popular wherever they go. Orochimaru believes that the conditions he offers are not excessive and are within Konoha's tolerance.

It was her dear teacher Sarutobi who forgot about this, and she also forgot the thing that she should not forget.

Chiri Yu knew that this was the privilege that Lord Orochimaru had fought for for his clan members who wanted to join Konoha. He immediately showed his excitement and said with embarrassment, "Lord Orochimaru, I can't make the decision on behalf of my clan members. There are those who are willing to join Konoha, and there will also be those who are unwilling to join Konoha. After all, my clan has lived here for a long time."

"Then, Deputy Chief Zhili Yu, I will wait for your good news."

Orochimaru picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, put it down, stood up and walked out.

Tsunade followed Orochimaru, looking at the environment of the cave along the way. She didn't understand why anyone from the Ibri clan would be willing to stay here.

"call……"

Zhili Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there should be nothing wrong with him just now, right?

Volume 52: Chapter : The Essence of the Flying Thunder God Technique

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Orochimaru looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance. The Hokage Rock, which had been cleared of snow, was once again covered with a layer of snow.

"Tsunade, I'm going to the Hokage building, are you coming?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade beside him.

"Hokage Building? I'll forget about it."

Tsunade didn't really want to go to the Hokage Building, so she put her arm around Orochimaru's shoulders and said, "You're going to the Hokage Building to report to Sarutobi-sensei, right? I'm not going with you."

Hokage Building

Sarutobi Hiruzen was holding a document in his hand. When he heard the door being pushed open, he saw Orochimaru walking in. He calmly put the book in the document into the drawer and quickly adjusted his facial expression.

Maybe Orochimaru's medicinal tea was too effective. He now felt his blood boiling and full of energy, as if he was twenty years old again. Last night's married life was very happy. Sarutobi Biwako's attitude towards him was much gentler, and his wife's lunch box was much richer.

"cough……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly and asked, "It's Orochimaru, what's wrong?"

Didn't Orochimaru see it?

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to be seen by his disciples sitting in the Hokage's office reading banned books. None of the books published by the writer named Miyabi were suitable for all ages. They were all explosive banned books.

Apart from anything else, he just likes this.

Orochimaru frowned slightly and said, "Teacher Sarutobi, the Ibri clan leader Qinghe is not in the clan. The deputy clan leader Chisato Yu is here. He is in charge of all matters in the clan when the clan leader is away. However, he alone has no say in such a major matter as joining Konoha. Even as the clan leader, he cannot represent the decision of the entire clan."

"Is that so? Then we have to wait until the tribe leader named Qinghe returns?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the expression on Orochimaru's face and said soothingly, "Orochimaru, you've done very well. Even if you solve the Ibri clan's bloodline disease, you can't force them to join Konoha."

"Sarutobi-sensei, the truth is, I have made some conditions on your behalf."

Orochimaru paused here, then continued: "Don't blame me! I am trying to get the Ibri clan to join Konoha."

"What conditions?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly stunned, praying in his heart that the conditions were not too excessive, but seeing Orochimaru like this, he had a bad feeling.

"I told Deputy Clan Leader Chiri Yu that the Ibri Clan will join Konoha, and the Hokage will choose a place for their clan in Konoha as their home. He will also help the Ibri Clan build a new home and provide them with resettlement allowances."

Orochimaru believed that the conditions he offered to the Ibri clan were definitely within Konoha's tolerance. Besides, as the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not have been unaware of the situation of the Ibri clan.

"Sarutobi-sensei, what do you think?"

"The conditions you offer are reasonable. I know the situation of the Ibri clan. If you don't give them the resettlement allowance, their life in Konoha will be very difficult."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very familiar with the situation of the Ibri clan. As a ninja clan with bloodline limits, they had no ninjas due to bloodline diseases. They relied on collecting medicinal herbs, growing crops, and fishing for a living. It could be said that their life was quite difficult.

"Sarutobi-sensei, there may be different voices among the Ibri clan, but I believe that the majority will choose to join Konoha."

Orochimaru expressed his guess based on his understanding of the Ibri clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled when he heard this and reminded him, "Orochimaru, you did a good job on this matter. If there is a next time, I hope you can discuss it with me."

When Orochimaru heard this, he wanted to argue with Sarutobi Hiruzen. He looked at him with a condemning look and said, "Sarutobi teacher, this matter is your fault! You didn't tell me!"

"You are the Hokage, you can't blame your mistakes on a child, right? Just because I don't mention this matter, does that mean you've forgotten it?"

Orochimaru was immersed in the joy of obtaining the Flying Thunder God Technique and had completely forgotten about this. He didn't remember it when he was interrupted by Tsunade when he was leaving. He only remembered it when he arrived at the Ibri clan.

If you want to invite the Ibri clan to join Konoha, you have to give conditions, right? You can't just invite them and ask them to bring their whole family to Konoha without any promises, right?

"My...my fault?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. If he hadn't forgotten, Orochimaru would not have arbitrarily set conditions to invite the Ibri clan to join Konoha. She did this to invite the Ibri clan to join Konoha.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but blush, and he laughed and scratched his head to ease the embarrassment.

"Ahahaha! It seems like this really is my fault!"

You just got away with it like that?

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen speechlessly.

-------------------------------------

Orochimaru returned home, and the shadow clone who was studying the Flying Thunder God Technique turned into smoke and disappeared. The shadow clone's memory and the fatigue brought by the long-term study of the Flying Thunder God Technique returned to the original body.

The Flying Thunder God Technique achieves instant movement through the Flying Thunder God technique. In principle, it is more like a teleportation technique. The Flying Thunder God technique is used to teleport oneself to another party. To master the Flying Thunder God Technique, one must first have one's own Flying Thunder God technique.
