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

Fortunately, the experimental data so far is very good; now we just need to wait a while.

Upon hearing this, Kagura pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Orochimaru with a shocked expression and said:

"You mean you've already started developing artificial humans with the Wood Release bloodline limit?"

This is no small matter. If Orochimaru can really create multiple artificial humans who can use Wood Release, Kagura can't even imagine the scene.

However, despite his shock, Orochimaru calmly replied:

"Not yet, it's not that simple."

However, current data suggests that the chances of success are still quite high.

However, since interstitial cells have such a high energy content, even if they are successfully cultivated, the resources and energy required would likely be considerable.

Given the resources Konoha can currently provide, achieving even one success would be considered quite good.

At this point, he slowly put down his teacup and said with a hint of regret:

"But according to my estimation, even if it succeeds, such a android will be far less powerful than Lord Hashirama."

At best, he could only become a decent Jonin.

"What a pity, if only I could fuse other bloodline limits into Wood Release..."

Hearing Orochimaru's murmur, Kagura's eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly put down his teacup and said to Orochimaru:

"Walk!"

?

Orochimaru was somewhat puzzled, but he still stood up and followed Kagura.

Kagura led Orochimaru straight to his laboratory.

On a huge experimental table in the laboratory, he slowly took out a scroll from his person.

After several hand seals were formed, a cloud of smoke rose, and a corpse appeared before the two of them. It was none other than the corpse of Hiruko.

Orochimaru showed no panic at the sudden appearance of the corpse in front of him.

He had seen far more horrific scenes than this; a corpse was nothing more than child's play.

He just didn't understand why Kagura would suddenly take out a corpse and place it in front of him, so he looked at Kagura in confusion.

Sensing his confusion, Kagura spoke up:

"Speaking of which, this is someone we know well."

He then began to recount his experiences during this mission to Orochimaru.

Upon hearing that the corpse of the boy before him was the familiar Hiruko, even Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy on his face.

Orochimaru is not a person without any emotions.

It's just that what he pursues and what he insists on makes him seem a bit strange to ordinary people.

Moreover, in his childhood, Hiruko was a close companion of Jiraiya and others.

Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a little melancholy at the death of such a person.

However, as Kagura continued her story, Orochimaru's expression gradually changed.

Especially after hearing Kagura mention that Hiruko had fused four bloodline limits into his body and demonstrated them one by one in front of Kagura.

Orochimaru's gaze toward the corpse before him had become somewhat intense.

"So, that's roughly it."

However, according to what I heard from that old woman Chiyo when I was in Sunagakure.

The bloodline limit possessed by that missing female Jonin should be called Scorching Release.

Although I didn't learn the specific abilities of Scorch Release from Chiyo.

However, during my battle with Hiruko, I did not see him use any abilities related to the Scorching Release.

Therefore, I speculate that after he fused with the bloodline limit, he should have developed his own new bloodline limit.

Orochimaru had already arrived in front of the corpse.

He gently touched the corpse in front of him, as if caressing a lover.

Although Kagura was used to Orochimaru's eccentricities, seeing this scene still made his hair stand on end.

However, Orochimaru had clearly taken Kagura's words to heart, gazing at the corpse before him with a look of fascination, and said:

"Yes, your guess should be correct."

Yes, this kind of material is very rare.

It's a pity; it would have been better if he were still alive.

But it's okay, it's a great help to my current research.

should......"

As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly picked up the notebook next to him and began frantically writing something.

After some calculations, a slightly manic smile appeared on his face.

He then eagerly picked up a scalpel and began dissecting the corpse in front of him...

As for Kagura, upon seeing him pick up a scalpel, she immediately and tactfully left the laboratory.

He wasn't a medical student, so he wisely left early so he could have something to eat today.

Thinking of Orochimaru's slightly deranged appearance at the end, Kagura knew that she probably wouldn't be able to see him in Konoha for a while.

However, for Orochimaru, such exhaustion might be considered a kind of happiness.

Chapter 37 New Year

In the following months, Kagura's life continued in a steady, routine manner.

As the teamwork of Class 7 became more and more seamless, the members' skills grew stronger and stronger.

Class 7 also said goodbye to low-level tasks like catching cats and began to encounter more advanced tasks.

Gradually, they began to get used to the intensity of B-level missions, and even perfectly completed an A-level mission.

Although Kagura personally led the team to complete that A-level mission, she hardly participated in the operation, relying mainly on the team members' own abilities.

As these three gained more and more experience, Kagura no longer needed to lead the team herself when carrying out some B-rank missions recently.

The three of them alone are capable of carrying out the mission perfectly.

As they spent more time together, the three of them and Kagura became increasingly close and familiar with each other.

Kagura also gradually witnessed their changes.

First, there's Japan.

Just as Kagura had guessed, this kid was indeed hiding his true abilities at first.

However, after the incident involving Hiruko, he seemed to realize that his strength was far from sufficient.

Therefore, in the days that followed, he no longer had the idea of ​​hiding his strength.

On the one hand, this would allow him to receive more accurate guidance from Kagura; on the other hand, he realized that he had no need to hide his talents at all.

After all, both Kushina and Minato were far stronger and more advanced than he had imagined.

Perhaps before joining Team 7, Hiashi still harbored a slight sense of arrogance about being a genius.

However, his arrogance was shattered when faced with the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Hokage.

At this moment, he not only completely abandoned his arrogance, but even had the idea of ​​competing with Minato.

However, Kagura was happy to see this change in him.

Not to mention, perhaps even Japan itself didn't realize it.

Over this period of time, his rigid personality has been changed quite a bit without him realizing it, and he even has more smiles on his face now.

Kushina's progress far exceeded Kagura's expectations.

In fact, knowing her future situation, Kagura wanted to give her better means of self-protection.

Therefore, Kagura focused on teaching her the ability to control her own chakra.

For the Uzumaki clan, who are born with powerful chakra, the immense power within them makes them more prone to going berserk than ordinary ninjas.

Furthermore, due to the sheer volume of chakra, they find it even more difficult to maintain precise control over it.

For the average member of the Uzumaki clan, this is not a significant weakness.

However, for Kushina, who will become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, controlling her own body becomes the guarantee for her to live longer.

Under Kagura's intensive instruction, Kushina spent the last few months learning only how to control her body's chakra.

Perhaps it was the resilience she developed from her childhood experiences, or perhaps she herself was well aware of Kagura's intentions.

She always completed the training goals set by Kagura with a speed that surprised even Kagura.

Now, her subtle control over chakra is comparable to that of Tsunade at the same age.

With her enormous chakra reserves, when leading them on missions and into battle, Kagura felt as if she were seeing another Tsunade.

As for Minato Namikaze, he is the person Kagura is most proud of.

As he gained more experience, his talent gradually became apparent.

Whether it's learning ability, combat skills, or practical application, he did better than Kagura had imagined.

It's fair to say that even Kagura felt she hadn't progressed as quickly as he had when she was a child.

Don't let his usual goofy appearance fool you; whenever he's on a mission, he quickly switches to a serious and reliable demeanor.

Most importantly, he seems to have a naturally strong heart.
