Chapter 81 The 3rd Day after ××××’s Death

The xth day after xxxx passed away.

Tsunade ate the bread on the plate and looked at her lover Kato Dan opposite her and her younger brother Nawaki next to her with contentment.

This is the life she has always dreamed of!

"You have to be careful when you're on a mission, okay? You scared me to death last time." Tsunade warned him.

Nawaki knew he was in the wrong, and nodded obediently, "I know, I want to be the Hokage, and I will never die before I protect the village!"

Tsunade looked at Kato Dan jokingly, "Dan, it looks like you're going to have to face off against Nawaki."

"I would feel at ease if Nawaki became the Hokage." Kato Dan also laughed.

Sheng Shu felt like he was being teased, his ears turned slightly red, and he put on a stern face and pretended to be a little adult as he went out to carry out his mission.

After Kato Dan finished laughing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the necklace around Tsunade's neck and asked in confusion, "Didn't you give that necklace to Nawaki before, Tsunade?"

Tsunade looked down at the azure green emerald, "Nawashu gave it to me again and asked me to keep it for him."

"That's it..."

When Hiruhu quickened his pace to return to Konoha, he happened to meet Jiraiya who was about to leave the village.

"Hey, didn't you go to the Hidden Rock Village to provide support? Why are you back so soon?"

Jiraiya took a look at Hiruhu and found that he was covered in dust, and it was obvious that he had rushed back day and night.

Hearing his question, Beiliuhu was stunned.

Why...why am I rushing back so anxiously?

"Hello? Hello!"

Feeling Jiraiya's palm waving in front of his eyes, Beiluo came back to his senses and rudely slapped his hand away, "Come back if you want."

"Really?" Jiraiya obviously didn't believe it.

This guy was timid and fearful when he was young, but he has become much tougher as he grew up.

"Did anything happen in the village?" Beiliuhu asked with indescribable emotions in his heart.

"Uh... let me think, if Aunt Li's dog gave birth to a second litter, does this count?"

"..."

Hiruko showed his attitude with practical actions and walked into the village without paying any attention to Jiraiya's expression.

Looking at his receding back, Jiraiya turned his head with amusement and started his own journey.

"Qing...zi?"

Orochimaru looked at the paper full of "x" and read it out loud in confusion.

When he woke up in the morning, he found that he seemed to have fallen asleep due to exhaustion yesterday, with his entire upper body lying on the laboratory table, and the table and the floor were covered with papers covered with words.

However, when he looked at each one carefully, he found that the words on them were inexplicably blurred and he could only vaguely make out the word "x子".

Is it someone's name? Or something?

Orochimaru really couldn't have imagined that the name written so many times on the paper was actually a person's name, and it was clearly his handwriting.

After staring at it for a few seconds, Orochimaru loosened his grip and the paper fluttered and fell to the ground.

"Why hasn't that little brat Hongdou come yet..."

After recalling Anko Mitarashi to clean up and throw away all the "garbage" in the laboratory, Orochimaru also withdrew his application to recycle the laboratory.

Maybe it was because of his strong sense of morality, otherwise Orochimaru couldn't explain why he wanted to destroy the research that he had been doing for so long.

After all, this is the art of immortality...

Orochimaru excitedly darted his tongue across his lips.

Since the death of his parents and witnessing how human life was worthless during war, he realized that life is fragile and no matter how great or long-lived a person is, he will eventually die.

Therefore, he must live on, live for a very long time, live into... the future.

Orochimaru felt a stinging pain in his left hand, perhaps because he was too excited and grabbed the edge of the table too hard. He rolled up his sleeves and took a look.

There were terrifying words engraved on the pale forearm, and blood was oozing out due to the squeezing.

These words again... Orochimaru frowned slightly.

Haruko.

who is it?

later.

Jiraiya continued on his journey of training, thinking that perhaps he would meet another disciple who could change the world somewhere.

Hiruko, known as the Mechanical Boy, has been immersed in mechanical research since returning to Konoha and has never left the house. However, thanks to his achievements, Konoha's overall technological strength has greatly increased.

After being deceived, Konan, Nagato, and Yahiko realized that their original ideas were too naive, so they followed Afei's advice to change the goals of the Akatsuki organization and recruit various powerful members. When encountering special circumstances, they will show extreme force.

Relying on his talent and hard work, Nawaki was quickly promoted to Jonin and was determined to become a Hokage recognized by the whole village.

Kato Dan and Tsunade formed a fixed team and often went out to carry out dangerous missions, determined to eliminate all threats to Konoha.

……

After the end of the Third Ninja World War, in order to be responsible for the Konoha ninjas who died in the war, and also under pressure from the Konoha high-level officials, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen voluntarily resigned from the position of Hokage.

With the unanimous consent of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Minato Namikaze successfully became the fourth Hokage of Konoha.

Soon, Minato and Kushina gave birth to their love child, Uzumaki Naruto, but a mysterious man took the opportunity to kidnap Kushina and opened the seal to release the Nine-Tails. In order to stop him, Minato decided to let Naruto become the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

After leaving their final words to Naruto, Minato and Kushina both died.

……

Orochimaru received funding from Konoha's high-ranking officials and attempted to train a user of Wood Release, but the losses were huge and he continued to fail, so the attempt was immediately terminated.

However, Orochimaru was still secretly carrying out the terminated Hashirama cell transplantation experiment. Because other experiments were exposed, the Third Hokage and the Anbu noticed his strange behavior, so Orochimaru finally left Konoha.

But Danzo did not give up. He would not stop until he achieved his goal, and secretly kidnapped babies from nearby villages to conduct experiments. At a cruel price, one of them actually succeeded. Danzo trained Yamato, another ninja who could use Wood Release besides Hashirama.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen discovered this Wood Release ninja, he changed his attitude and decided to wipe out Danzo Shimura completely. He led the Anbu to surround Danzo's base in three layers, and imprisoned him in a prison, leaving him in darkness all day long.

When Orochimaru betrayed Konoha, Jiraiya chased after him to keep him, but was unable to change Orochimaru's decision to leave Konoha. Therefore, Jiraiya has been secretly tracking Orochimaru's whereabouts for many years.

……

When Tsunade entered middle age, she took Kato Dan's niece Shizune with her on a journey to collect intelligence.

Because she was going there to relax, Tsunade completely let herself go along the way, gambling and drinking, and became famous in various countries. Kato Dan, who was far away in Konoha, was so amused when he heard the news.

Orochimaru was immersed in research all day long. In order to obtain experimental materials, he not only secretly colluded with other major countries, but also established his own ninja village - Sound Ninja Village.

Because of his bad attitude of throwing things away after use, he was assassinated by many high-level officials who wanted to completely seize his research results on immortality. Orochimaru had been hiding well until one time when he was out looking for research equipment, he was killed by a vicious person hired by the high-level officials, and his hands were also sealed specifically.

In order to heal his hands, he and his subordinate Kabuto Yakushi searched for Tsunade, and engaged in a stalemate with Tsunade who opposed and Jiraiya who arrived later.
