Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Since it involves relations between the two countries, Kagura could not openly massacre these Sunagakure ninjas.

In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi also strongly agreed with Kagura's final retreat.

After all, even if a second Shinobi World War were to break out, it absolutely could not be caused by a mission he himself ordered.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Kagura and Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, they ultimately failed in this mission.

Tsunade said helplessly:

"Speaking of which, according to news from the Anbu, it seems that Uchiha Setsuna managed to escape from the siege of Sunagakure in the end."

Kagura nodded, clearly aware of the information as well.

To be honest, I don't know if Uchiha Setsuna was stronger than I imagined, or if the Jonin from Sunagakure were really that incompetent.

Even though he had taken away the most important Mangekyou Sharingan from him, he still couldn't keep such a person.

It's unclear how such a nation managed to survive the Second Shinobi World War.

As he walked, he suddenly remembered something, turned to Tsunade, and said:

"By the way, I remember Nawaki is graduating from the Ninja Academy next year, right?"

When Kagura mentioned her younger brother Nawaki, Tsunade smiled with relief.

She nodded in agreement.

Kagura hesitated for a moment, then decided to change the subject and said:

"Then I'll have to prepare a gift in advance, after all, I am his brother-in-law."

Hearing this, Tsunade's face suddenly flushed. She pinched Kagura's arm and said shyly:

"Who said you must be his brother-in-law?"

That's not necessarily true yet.

Seeing Tsunade's unusually girlish demeanor, Kagura couldn't resist teasing her.

He continued speaking in the same vein as Tsunade.

"Yes, you never know."

"Maybe one day I'll see someone prettier than you, and then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tsunade angrily punched him into the wall next to her.

With a "bang," Kagura was embedded into the wall.

(￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮o(￣dish￣///)

At this moment, Tsunade looked fierce and raised her fist, which was as big as a sandbag, to threaten:

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Are you planning to turn your back on me after you've finished eating?

Believe it or not, I'll bury you under that big tree in Konoha.

......

Therefore, flirting with your girlfriend in the Naruto world can also be life-threatening.

Fortunately, Tsunade wasn't an unreasonable person. After her initial anger subsided, she realized that Kagura was just joking.

She quickly stepped forward to help and pulled Kagura out of the wall.

After helping Kagura brush the dust off her clothes, she finally showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

Kagura stared at her speechlessly, and could only sigh in her heart.

Seeing Kagura's expression, Tsunade carefully apologized and then invited him to dinner to make amends.

Unexpectedly, Kagura refused outright.

Just when Tsunade thought he was really angry, Kagura took out a glass bottle.

The eye he had stolen from Uchiha Setsuna was clearly soaking inside the glass bottle.

He explained to Tsunade:

"I need to take care of this first."

After realizing that Kagura wasn't angry, Tsunade obediently nodded.

After saying goodbye to Tsunade, Kagura walked towards her destination while thinking about what had just come to mind.

Nawaki, and the Second Shinobi World War that will occur in the next few years...

In the original story, Nawaki died after accidentally falling into a trap on the eve of the great battle.

His death undoubtedly brought Tsunade immense pain.

However, now that he's here, he will never allow a similar tragedy to happen again.

As he silently made up his mind, he unknowingly arrived at his destination.

I politely stood in front of the door and knocked. Soon after, I heard footsteps coming from inside.

As the door opened, a pale-faced man with long hair appeared before him.

This person is none other than Orochimaru.

The moment Orochimaru saw Kagura, his eyes suddenly brightened considerably.

He said solicitously:

“You’re back?

Come in, come in quickly.

However, a hint of pain flashed across Kagura's face in the face of Orochimaru's attentiveness.

After hesitating for a moment, he still went into Orochimaru's house.

Fifteen minutes later, Kagura sat slumped in Orochimaru's living room, her face pale.

At this moment, he felt as if his body had been drained, and his face showed utter despair.

Please don't misunderstand, this kind of being drained is different from when he was with Tsunade; it's a true draining.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru was holding a large jar of blood, his eyes gleaming as he plotted something.

Since Kagura acquired the Wood Release technique, he agreed to allow Orochimaru to extract some of his blood for research every now and then.

After all, compared to Hashirama's cells that had been dead for many years, this fresh blood should allow Orochimaru to research new things more effectively.

Over the years, Kagura has gone to great lengths to prevent Orochimaru from turning evil.

In addition to donating his own blood, he even taught Orochimaru the biochemical knowledge he vaguely remembered from his previous life.

Kagura knew very well that, as the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block.

For someone like Orochimaru who is exceptionally obsessed with research, it's better to guide him onto the right path than to forbid him from doing so.

Moreover, he firmly believes that technological progress is not necessarily a bad thing.

If I fully support Orochimaru and develop his research in a relatively gentle way, it will definitely be a good thing for Konoha's strength.

His efforts proved to be worthwhile.

Over the years, Orochimaru gradually felt the allure of the path that Kagura had guided him down.

With the help of Kagura's blood and knowledge, his research over the years has made great progress.

Just as he was calculating how many experiments the blood in front of him could support, Kagura suddenly took out a glass bottle in front of him.

The moment Orochimaru saw the contents of the glass bottle, his pupils constricted sharply.

The contents of the bottle were exactly what he had always dreamed of, and could even be said to have surpassed his wildest dreams.

Because it was an eye that had evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Chapter 19 The True Kotoamatsukami

Looking at the glass jar in Kagura's hand, Orochimaru's eyes were filled with surprise and boundless greed.

This was the Sharingan he had always dreamed of, and it had already evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kagura knew very well that, besides immortality, Orochimaru's greatest desire was the Sharingan.

In the original storyline, Orochimaru joined Akatsuki in order to obtain Itachi Uchiha's eyes.

Even his later dedication to teaching Sasuke was merely a means to seize his body and inherit the Sharingan's abilities.

It should be noted that there are still a large number of Uchiha clan members in Konoha Village.

However, like the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan maintains strict control over the Sharingan.

Even after a member of the clan dies, their eyes are destroyed or strictly controlled by the clan to prevent them from being leaked.

Therefore, even though Orochimaru has longed to study the power of the Sharingan all these years, he has never been able to obtain the necessary materials.

After all, no matter how obsessed he was, it was one thing to ask Kagura to draw blood, but he couldn't really ask Kagura to gouge out her eyes for him.

At this moment, Kagura obtained a Sharingan from somewhere, which naturally surprised him.

Seeing Orochimaru's almost cannibalistic desire, Kagura smiled slightly and threw the Sharingan in her hand at him.

Seeing the glass jar flying towards him, Orochimaru quickly put down the jar filled with blood in his hand and carefully took the glass jar.

He held the glass jar in front of him and admired the beautiful eyeball with fascination.

Seeing Orochimaru's behavior, Kagura waited for him to finish admiring the scene before speaking:

"Consider this a loan for your research."

But you need to be careful not to break it.

Perhaps I'll need to take it back someday; it might come in handy.

This wasn't because he was stingy and unwilling to give it to Orochimaru; it was simply the truth.

Kagura's act of taking Uchiha Setsuna's eye was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a result of some grudge between him and Uchiha Setsuna.
