My older sister is Kushina

Soon, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the cell.

Only Orochimaru and Jiraiya remained in the cell.

Jiraiya's expression was somewhat complicated. As Orochimaru's close friend, he really didn't want to hear bad news about Orochimaru, but now it had happened.

He has already inquired about the specifics from his disciple Minato Namikaze, and the matter of Orochimaru has been basically confirmed.

He was both angry and worried about Orochimaru's actions. Orochimaru's actions involved many taboos of Konoha, and his human experiments had caused the deaths of many children. Even if Orochimaru had made many contributions to Konoha in the past, such crimes were unforgivable.

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiraiya, it seems you already know about me."

Jiraiya nodded, his tone heavy with confusion and reproach: "Why?"

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then slowly replied, "I just did what I wanted to do. Everyone has their own goals to pursue."

Jiraiya: "So what you're planning is built on the lives of innocent children?"

Orochimaru: "Life is fragile, and some goals require necessary sacrifices."

Jiraiya shook his head: "Those are taboo."

Orochimaru: "Breaking the taboo may lead to a new life. This is the path I have chosen, and I still do not regret it."

Jiraiya scoffed, "Orochimaru, you really are beyond saving!"

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, a hint of helplessness flashing in his golden eyes: "If you're just here to laugh at me or to convince me, you might as well leave now."

Jiraiya did not leave; as a close friend of many years, Orochimaru still knew about him.

He quickly took out the wine.

Inside the cell, Orochimaru and Jiraiya drank and chatted.

Time slipped away quietly. Before we knew it, half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.

The two of them also drank quite a bit of alcohol.

Orochimaru suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Jiraiya, you like Tsunade, don't you?"

Faced with Orochimaru's sudden question, Jiraiya seemed caught off guard, but he calmly replied, "Orochimaru, what do you mean by that?"

Orochimaru smiled slightly: "We've known each other for so many years, I understand your thoughts to some extent."

Jiraiya remained silent for more than ten seconds, then smiled and said, "I do like her."

Orochimaru: "If you like it, don't leave any regrets."

Jiraiya drank a cup of sake and lamented, "What a pity!"

He, Orochimaru, and Tsunade had known each other since childhood, and after graduating from the Ninja Academy, they became a trio. Although he was carefree and often made sarcastic remarks to Tsunade, he had actually fallen in love with her long ago, but he seemed to be somewhat clumsy and obtuse when it came to matters of the heart.

The two soon ended their conversation.

Before leaving, Jiraiya stood up and said, "I'll come see you again when I have time."

Orochimaru nodded.

On the second floor of the underground secret chamber, Uzumaki Hanamichi did not leave, but stood guard with Hatake Kakashi and Aburame Shihei until they saw Jiraiya walk out of the cell.

Afterwards, Uzumaki Hanato personally escorted Jiraiya out of the underground chamber.

After seeing Jiraiya off, Uzumaki Hanamichi returned to the second floor of the underground secret room, gave a few brief instructions to Hatake Kakashi and Aburame Shihei, and then glanced at Orochimaru before leaving.

After leaving the Anbu, he quickly headed back to the Hokage Building.

In the Hokage's office, Uzumaki Hanamichi met Namikaze Minato.

Upon seeing Uzumaki Hanamichi return, Minato Namikaze immediately asked, "Odo, how's it going with Master?"

Whirlpool Flower said, "The two talked in the cell for about an hour."

Minato Namikaze: "The teacher takes this matter very seriously."

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded: "After all, he has a deep friendship with Orochimaru. Have you mentioned Orochimaru's specific situation to Lord Jiraiya?"

Minato Namikaze: "I have already explained to the country that although my teacher has a close relationship with Orochimaru, I know his character very well. I believe he will not do anything against Konoha because of his relationship with Orochimaru."

Uzumaki Hanamichi then reported some information to Namikaze Minato, as there were some things he hadn't been able to report to Minato before because Jiraiya was also there.

After completing his report, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Hokage's office.

Soon after, he reverted to his original form and headed towards the Midnight Diner.

The late-night diner opens at 8 p.m.

The shop quickly filled with customers.

The swirling flower path is already bustling with activity.

As midnight approached, Uzumaki Hanamichi quietly left the Midnight Diner and headed towards the Dark Side.

Before leaving the Midnight Diner, Uzumaki Hanamichi prepared a bento box, just like the night before.

Uzumaki Hanamichi meets up with Akino Hiratani and together they head to the second floor of the underground secret room to hand over the mission to Uchiha Shisui and Yakumo Ho.

Then, Uzumaki Hanamichi headed towards Orochimaru's cell.

Whirlpool Flower Path opened the door and entered the cell.

Inside the cell, Orochimaru's golden gaze fell on Uzumaki Hanamichi, a hint of anticipation on his face.

Uzumaki Hanamichi took the initiative to greet Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Uzumaki Hanamichi sat down not far in front of Orochimaru and presented him with a food box containing the dishes he had personally prepared for Orochimaru at the Midnight Diner.

The promise the two made last night was that if Orochimaru could eat Uzumaki Hanamichi's food again, he would tell him some secret information about Uzumaki Village.

Uzumaki Hanamichi delivered the meticulously prepared bento to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was quite looking forward to it. He had eaten the bento that Uzumaki Hanamichi had brought him yesterday, which seemed to have unconsciously ignited his anticipation for food.

Uzumaki Hanamichi calmly introduced the dishes he had prepared that day to Orochimaru.

Today's dishes were prepared with Orochimaru's taste in mind, and the ingredients were all ones that Orochimaru preferred.

Orochimaru looked at the delicious food, stretched out his snake head to taste it, and licked his lips.

Orochimaru quickly got to work.

He felt the temptation of delicious food again and was quite excited.

While Orochimaru was eating, Uzumaki Hanamichi did not disturb him, but sat quietly to the side and watched.

In no time at all, Orochimaru devoured the bento box made by Uzumaki Hanamichi.

Finally, Orochimaru, having eaten and drunk his fill, showed a hint of satisfaction, and even seemed somewhat reluctant to leave.

I must admit, the food at Whirlpool Flower Path is delicious.

After Orochimaru finished eating, Uzumaki Hanamichi calmly asked, "Lord Orochimaru, were you satisfied with today's food?"

Orochimaru nodded: "Very good."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Now, are you going to fulfill your promise from yesterday?"

Orochimaru: "A promise?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "What, Lord Orochimaru, have you forgotten so quickly?"

Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly: "It seems you really care about the attack on Uzushiogakure back then."
