Chapter 403: Communication between the Three Ninjas, Shizune's Secret

Orochimaru took a sip of wine and then put down the glass, his eyes showing deep thought. His voice was low and slow, as if he was telling a distant and mysterious story, "Jiraiya, Tsunade, you may find it hard to imagine that the amount of chakra in the body of the Otsutsuki Toneri we captured is simply unimaginable. His blood contains a huge amount of chakra, even stronger than the Nine-Tails' chakra."

Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at each other with serious expressions. Tsunade's brows knitted tightly together, and her hands clenched into fists involuntarily, "Chakra stronger than the Nine-Tails... Are you saying that this person's power has surpassed our understanding of Jinchūriki?"

Jiraiya's expression became more serious, and his eyes flashed with anxiety. "If there really is such a power, it is simply unimaginable. This means that if there are other members of the Otsutsuki clan hiding in the dark, it will be a great threat."

Orochimaru nodded, a hint of seriousness in his tone, "Yes, that's why I started studying his blood. Not only do they have a huge amount of chakra, their body structure and genes are completely different from ours. More importantly, they may not be the only ones."

Hearing this, Tsunade and Jiraiya's expressions became more solemn. Tsunade asked in a low voice: "Are you saying that besides this Toneri, there may be other Otsutsuki clan members hiding in places we don't know about?"

Orochimaru smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery in his tone, "This is just my speculation, but judging from the current research results, it is not impossible. What's more, Toneri lives on the moon. Have you ever thought that there are people living on the moon?"

Jiraiya's brows were deeply knitted together, his voice full of doubt and surprise, "The moon? That's a place we've never set foot on. Orochimaru, are you saying that there are life forms similar to the Otsutsuki clan on the moon?"

Orochimaru nodded, with a hint of excitement in his tone, "Yes, not only that, perhaps our understanding of the universe has always been one-sided. In fact, the earth is not the only carrier of life. There are countless planets in the universe, and they may have different forms of life. These lives may be much more powerful than we think."

After hearing this, Tsunade's face turned slightly pale, and she couldn't help but feel a deep fear and anxiety in her heart. She tried to keep her voice calm, "You mean... aliens? Those life forms living on other planets may also come to Earth?"

Jiraiya's eyes flashed with shock and confusion that were difficult to conceal. He shook his head, as if he could not accept this fact. "This is simply... too crazy. Orochimaru, are you saying that we might face threats from the universe? I thought those novels published by New Konoha were fake and fantasy, but I didn't expect that they had a basis in reality! It seems that I have to make up for it. Our planet is called Earth, the moon is called Moon, and the ones in the novels..."

Orochimaru still had that mysterious smile on his face. He nodded gently, his tone revealing a hint of unfathomable calmness, "That's right. The earth is not the center of the universe. We are just a tiny existence in the universe. And the Otsutsuki clan may have come from a distant planet, bringing their power and ambition to our world."

Tsunade's heart was filled with complex emotions. Her expression was serious and solemn, and her inner uneasiness gradually grew. She said slowly: "If this is true, how should we deal with it? We know almost nothing about these lives from the universe, and they may have powers that we can't imagine."

Jiraiya also fell into deep thought, his eyes filled with complex emotions, "If one day, alien life really comes to Earth, how should we face it? Does the umbrella of New Konoha really have enough power to resist this unknown threat?"

Orochimaru looked at the two of them and smiled gently, with a hint of firmness in his tone, "Perhaps, this is the meaning of our continuous evolution and exploration. No matter what challenges we face, as long as we continue to improve ourselves, we may be able to find a way to deal with it. And this research may be our first step in unlocking the secrets of the universe."

Orochimaru smiled lightly, put down his wine glass, his tone was soothing and relaxed, "You don't have to worry too much. The strength within Umbrella is far beyond your imagination. There are many people here who are stronger than me, especially Orochi, who is simply unfathomable." He turned his head slightly to look at Jiraiya, a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately curled his lips and uttered a contemptuous "tsk", then put on an expression of disapproval, "Tsunade, let me tell you, the leader of Umbrella, Nathan Hawke, is really a powerful character." There was a hint of reluctant admiration in his tone, and it was obvious that he was still afraid of the name.

Tsunade raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone showing a hint of curiosity, "Oh? Jiraiya, you are so impressed by him? What's going on?"

However, Jiraiya suddenly kept silent at this time, and his expression instantly became a little awkward. He waved his hand and changed the subject, saying, "Nothing, nothing. Anyway, he is a very powerful person. There is no need to say more."

When Orochimaru saw Jiraiya's reaction, a half-smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "Tsunade, do you know why he is so afraid? Because this guy wanted to launch a decapitation operation against Nathan Hawke, but he was ruthlessly defeated by the other party."

Tsunade was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, with shock and helplessness. She whispered, "Jiraiya, you are really..." The uneasiness and worry in her heart were slightly relieved, but she was more helpless and worried about Jiraiya.

Jiraiya immediately retorted unconvincedly: "Hey! That was just an accident. If I had activated the Sage Mode, the outcome might have been unsure!" He put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and looked confidently, as if he was defending himself, but in fact there was a hint of guilt in his tone.

Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at each other, and both of them showed helpless smiles. Tsunade sighed softly and shook her head, "You, Jiraiya, when will you learn to be less impulsive?"

Orochimaru smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "It seems that your confidence is still the same. However, our boss is not so easy to deal with. Next time if you encounter a similar situation, maybe you really need to use the Sage Mode from the beginning."

Hearing this, Jiraiya's confidence faded a little, but he still refused to admit defeat, "Hmph, if I have the chance, I will definitely show you the true strength of Sage Jiraiya!"

After hearing what Jiraiya said, Tsunade and Orochimaru couldn't help but look at each other again, with a helpless and doting smile on their faces. Although this old friend was sometimes a headache, his unyielding character was also his unique charm.

……

Shizune stood in the medical department, blushing as she looked at the medicine in Irene's hand. The transparent bottle contained a small tube of light pink liquid, and on the bottle were printed a few small words: "Breast enlargement medicine with no side effects". The handwriting was clear, but it made her heart beat faster. She bit her lower lip, her eyes uneasily moving back and forth between the medicine and Irene, her face full of mixed emotions of expectation and worry.

"Is this...really effective?" Jingyin's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that her inner tension had reached its peak. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, and her eyes showed both anticipation for the effect and worry about possible side effects.

Irene smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness and encouragement in her eyes. She patted Jingyin's shoulder gently, her tone full of professional confidence, "Don't worry, Miss Jingyin. This drug has undergone countless clinical trials, and all the data show that it is not only safe, but also effective. You can use it with confidence." Her voice was gentle and firm, as if to soothe Jingyin's inner anxiety.

Seeing that Jingyin was still a little hesitant, Irene didn't say anything more, but gently placed the potion in Jingyin's hand. Then, she moved slightly closer and whispered in Jingyin's ear, "You know, many people have used this potion and they are very satisfied. Just imagine that kind of beautiful curves, coupled with some beautiful clothes, you will definitely be more confident."

Jingyin listened to Irene's whispers and felt a warm breath in her ears. The blush on her face deepened. Her heartbeat accelerated, as if every word of Irene was plucking the string in her heart. In her mind, she could not help but imagine herself wearing a beautiful dress and standing confidently in front of people. The beautiful scene made her bite her lower lip gently.

Seeing this, Irene smiled slightly, with a hint of temptation in her tone, "Believe me, Miss Shizue, this will be a wonderful change in your life. Not only for your appearance, but also to make you more confident and strong on the inside." As she spoke, Irene gently held Shizue's hand and handed the potion to her, as if conveying trust and encouragement.

Shizune felt the warmth in Irene's hands, and the worry in her heart was gradually replaced by anticipation. She finally nodded and said softly, "Well... okay, I'll try." Although her voice was soft, there was a bit more determination in her tone.

Irene smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in her eyes, "Very good, Miss Shizune, I believe you will be glad for this decision. When you see the effect, remember to tell me how you feel."

Jingyin nodded slightly, the blush on her face still not fading, but her eyes showed a hint of expectation and longing for the future. She held the small potion bottle tightly, as if it was the key to her new life.
