I am the most popular character in Naruto!

That's great! I now have a deeper understanding of the concept that ninjas are people who are good at enduring hardship!

After carefully and responsibly teaching Chiaki how to use the computer, Orochimaru gestured for Chiaki to try it out herself.

Chiaki glanced at Orochimaru furtively; he was typing away at the keyboard, one character at a time, clearly not used to the typing posture.

Even elite Jonin, things they're not used to are still not used to.

Orochimaru has strong scientific research skills, but everything he has is based on his mind.

In terms of computer technology, Chiaki is still stronger!

"Aunt Snake, do you think it would be better to type like this?"

Chiaki cautiously spoke to Orochimaru, then began typing rapidly on the keyboard with standard technique, making Orochimaru's eyes light up.

"I see... It seems you really have a talent for this!"

Orochimaru, being a high-ranking ninja, learned quickly under Chiaki's guidance, and his typing speed immediately surpassed Chiaki's, reaching an enviable 8,000 words per hour.

This is already at the level of a god-king!

"By the way, Aunt Snake, with such a big lab, why don't you hire an assistant?"

Chiaki manipulated the computer, experiencing its capabilities for the current era. Since there was no internet and no one was developing games, only some basic software, she quickly lost interest. "An assistant?"

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible, but it's very difficult to find someone like you who is willing to accept scientific research."

"That's true……"

Chiaki sighed helplessly, resting his chin on his hand. This era was quite averse to scientific research; otherwise, Orochimaru wouldn't have ended up all alone in the future.

“If you weren’t unsuitable, I think you would be perfect as my assistant.”

Orochimaru stared directly at Chiaki, who quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm not smart enough. I'm fine as a test subject, but I definitely can't be an assistant..."

The pink twin tails swayed incessantly, and Orochimaru shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, having this little fool as an assistant would probably increase my workload even more.

"Don't worry, Aunt Snake, you have a high charm rating, you'll definitely find a good assistant in the future!"

After thinking for a moment, Chiaki said to Orochimaru in a comforting tone.

After all, there's still the orphanage director who hasn't appeared yet. He's Orochimaru's good helper, at least much better than himself.

"Really? Then if there's a chance in the future, I'll find an assistant as you suggested."

Orochimaru smiled faintly, pushed the computer screen toward Chiaki, and beckoned to her: "Here, let me show you a file."

Chapter Eighty-Seven: Forbidden Cards! The Dead Resurrected!

"File? What file?"

Chiaki curiously approached Orochimaru, her twin tails swishing across his face. Using the same ease and naturalness she had with computers, she snatched the mouse from his hand.

Seeing Chiaki practically throwing herself into his arms, Orochimaru felt a strange flutter in his heart.

The girl in his arms was soft, cute, and gave off a faint peach scent.

According to Orochimaru's judgment, Chiaki, in terms of appearance, physique, and strength, perfectly matches the mate selection criteria of contemporary young people.

In other words, it's not surprising that even he himself would be attracted to Chiaki.

Orochimaru stroked his chin thoughtfully. He was a rational and objective person, but he also had doubts about the feeling of "being moved".

Why do people feel their hearts flutter?

He stared at Chiaki skillfully flipping through her files on the computer, subconsciously ignoring her inexplicably proficient operation, while his mind wandered to the reasons why he was attracted to Chiaki.

shape?

Yes, that's no problem, I already mentioned it.

strength?

Although Chiaki's strength was considered quite good by most people, it was still weaker than Orochimaru's, which did not bother Orochimaru.

Personality?

Cute and adorable, versatile and charming, she's perfect for Orochimaru, who loves exploring the unknown.

Finally, it must be that our philosophies align, right?

As the only person in the world who could support his experiments, even understand human experimentation, and was even more willing to participate in experiments himself, Chiaki perfectly aligned with Orochimaru's ideals.

It turned out to be the case.

Orochimaru realized that this was the reason he was attracted to Orochimaru.

So, we've found the reason why my heart is moved, but what is the principle behind it?

Orochimaru's scientific spirit burned brightly. Because the situation was happening to him, he moved the "research on the principle of heartbeats" to the back of his current research project.

Yes, he was very curious.

"Aunt Snake, where are the files?"

Chiaki fiddled with the computer with a puzzled look. She couldn't find the file, but she created a few new folders on the desktop and tidied up the messy desktop a bit.

Because Orochimaru didn't sign the documents, she had no idea which one to open.

However, Chiaki, who was nestled in Orochimaru's arms, sensed something was amiss.

Orochimaru's breathing behind her was hotter than usual, and at the same time, she realized that her posture was not something a girl should be doing.

If two shut-ins are looking at a computer, and one person wants to control the mouse, the other person will inevitably step back or move slightly away.

Qianqiu was already used to simply leaning over and controlling the other person's computer.

Orochimaru, however, is different. He doesn't have the sense of distance that otaku have, nor does he understand why there should be any distance.

"Ah...sorry..."

Qianqiu quickly sat up straight. She felt a hot sensation rising from her abdomen to her cheeks.

As a boy, she naturally understood what it meant when a man's breath suddenly became hot.

It's just an impulse...

She covered her cheek and turned her head away, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

This is unbearable...

Although Orochimaru calls himself "Snake Aunt," he is still a man.

Chiaki acknowledged that her body was incredibly alluring; at least she felt an urge to fondle it every morning when she woke up, let alone other men.

But deep down, Chiaki is a boy, and he likes girls. He can't just be forced to be dominated by men and have sex with them just because his body is female...

How embarrassing that is.

"Hey, Chiaki..."

Orochimaru spoke in a low voice, which startled Chiaki so much that goosebumps rose on her skin. She quickly stood up and cried out, "I'm sorry! Aunt Orochimaru! I like girls!"

"???"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, looking at Chiaki, whose face was flushed and who was bowing deeply, with a puzzled expression.

After a short while, he realized what he meant, and with a chuckle, he licked his lips and asked, "If I became a woman, would you like me?"

Bad taste!

Orochimaru's uniquely perverse sense of humor has emerged!

Chiaki broke out in a cold sweat, looking at Orochimaru with a half-smile that seemed to be on his lips, unsure if he was serious about the question. He hesitated and said, "If... if that's the case... we can give it a try..."

After all, the snake-woman transformation is really beautiful...

Qianqiu, a self-proclaimed "face-value enthusiast," is finding it a bit overwhelming.

"Ho."

Orochimaru chuckled, and a small, cold snake wrapped itself around Chiaki's neck, startling her into a scream.

"Clear your head. Gender doesn't matter to me, and neither does sexual desire."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The little snake slowly left Qianqiu's neck. She was already cold from head to tailbone, so she couldn't think about anything like love and romance.

Sure enough, after my body turned into a girl, my brain started to get a little love-struck.

Is Aunt Snake still someone I can trust?

After all, they are researchers...

Qianqiu felt relieved, but also found it amusing that his body had been almost completely dismantled by Snake Aunt during the experiments and rescues. His thoughts were indeed a bit excessive.

How could any doctor or scientist possibly have any thoughts about a patient who has undergone cesarean section?

My mind is completely filled with blood and goo; I can't even manage a proper "hmm."

"Let's look at the documents, let's look at the documents..."

Chiaki smiled obsequiously at Orochimaru, who calmly took the mouse, opened the file, and gestured for Chiaki to look at it.

"Research directions concerning the human soul and body..."

"The resurrection of the dead and eternal... eternal life..."

Chiaki stared blankly at the title before turning her gaze to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru licked his lips and chuckled, "So, what do you think of this research direction? Interesting, isn't it?"

Why do humans die?

What happens to humans after they die?

What exactly is the soul?

"Can the dead be brought back to life? Can humanity achieve immortality?!"

Orochimaru became more and more excited as he spoke, his vertical pupils gleaming as he stared intently at Chiaki.

"Qianqiu, what are your thoughts?"
