Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 162 Expelling Orochimaru and... Anatomical Diagram

After learning that Orochimaru had ultimately embarked on the path of human experimentation, Yua realized it was time to talk to him.

Moreover, there is no time to hesitate at this point; if we hesitate for even one more day, someone might actually get hurt.

Therefore, he went to the research institute to find Orochimaru the next day.

When Yua arrived at the research institute, Orochimaru was completing the electromagnetic research that Yua had given him, which, simply put, was the process of transitioning from wired signal transmission to wireless signal transmission.

The principle has been basically figured out; all that's left is to invest a lot of energy in trial and error.

Orochimaru is in charge of this research project, and his abilities are evident to all.

pity……

This guy has such powerful abilities, but he refuses to use them for good. He just focuses on his research into his so-called life essence and immortality.

Although he succeeded in the original Naruto world, it came at a price: he became neither male nor female, neither human nor ghost. In any case, he would rather not have had that disgusting, immortal Yuya.

Orochimaru, like Tsunade, is also 23 years old this year.

Some people are already fathers of two by the age of 23, while others are only interested in conducting human experiments. Love and marriage are just burdens that hinder the progress of their research!

Even so...

Yuya is, after all, Orochimaru's older brother...

"Knock knock knock"

"Please come in." Orochimaru's uniquely deep and hoarse voice rang out from the laboratory.

To be fair, Orochimaru is actually quite good-looking. Although his skin has a sickly paleness, he is still considered an unusual pretty boy.

Furthermore, Orochimaru's status in Konoha Village is quite high; if he wanted to, he could definitely find a wife.

It's just that Orochimaru himself didn't want to.

Yua leaned against the edge of the lab doorframe, watching Orochimaru inside who was holding a folder and looking at data. She sighed softly, then opened her eyes and calmly asked Orochimaru, "Want to go out for barbecue tonight...?"

Orochimaru looked up at Yua standing in the doorway. The two stared at each other for a long time before Orochimaru finally nodded slightly: "Okay."

You Ya sighed inwardly and turned to leave the research institute.

……

As evening fell, Tsunade breastfed Yuu with a grim expression. "Damn Yuu! It's only been a few days! Not coming home last night was bad enough, but why isn't she back this late today?!"

Could it be...?

Tsunade looked on with suspicion. Could it be that she went to see those two vixens from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans?

Tsunade was not going to be polite to these two men who had their eyes on her husband. It was true that Yua, as the Hokage, had many privileges, but these two men were absolutely not allowed to enter their house!

This is the bottom line!

Absolute bottom line!

"Waaah~" Yuu stretched in Tsunade's arms, probably having eaten her fill. Tsunade pulled down her clothes and fell into deep thought, wondering if she should go find Yuu.

After thinking about it, Tsunade shook her head. There should still be some trust between husband and wife.

So Tsunade sat at home, anxiously waiting. In the past, she would never have acted this way.

But for some reason today, she felt uneasy.

Unaware of what was happening, Tsunade sensed that something bad was going to happen.

But they had absolutely no clue what it was...

However, a vague sixth sense told her that it had nothing to do with Youya.

At that moment, alarm bells rang in Tsunade's mind. Occasionally, when she went grocery shopping, she would take her travelogue and go for a walk with Yuru. A series of gossips she heard from the wives of ordinary people in Konoha would immediately flood her mind.

The development of Konoha Village has brought prosperity, but it has also brought a series of troubles, such as many people from the outer city choosing to take shortcuts to enter the inner city.

In recent years, some have even deliberately seduced married women.

Tsunade used to treat these things as gossip, but now she has to be vigilant.

However... after she started thinking in this direction, Tsunade realized that her intuition hadn't given her any warning.

So it wasn't those two vixens? Then what else is related to Youya?

Tsunade's expression shifted between light and shadow. Even Yuki, who was learning to walk nearby, sensed something was wrong. Her mother seemed angry. Was it because her father hadn't come home? Hmm…

I'm not walking today, I'll just crawl...

Just as Tsunade's unease was growing stronger, someone rang the doorbell at her house.

Tsunade was taken aback, then rushed to the door and opened it.

He was so surprised at first glance that he exclaimed, "Father?! What brings you here?!"

Against the backdrop of night, Tsunade's father, a former ANBU ninja of the Senju clan who now lived in anonymity as an ordinary Konoha villager, breathlessly urged Tsunade, "Hurry, hurry to the village entrance! Yuya, Yuya wants to drive Orochimaru away!"

Tsunade was stunned, then her expression changed drastically. Only then did she realize what was causing that strange and uncomfortable feeling in her heart...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya grew up together.

They went to school together, learned ninjutsu under Hiruzen Sarutobi, and were assigned to the same class after graduation, with Hiruzen Sarutobi leading them until they graduated as genin.

Later, the research institute was established, and Orochimaru went there to assist Tobirama Senju. Jiraiya also left Konoha Village, supposedly to search for some prophetic child.

Tsunade herself went to the hospital for an internship, hoping to become a qualified doctor.

Before the three of them became Chunin, they were inseparable and often bickered with each other.

The villagers of Konoha Village have also noticed this.

Later, when Tsunade and Yua got married, Jiraiya, who had already gone abroad, asked the two old toads to send his blessings. Although it was just a few words and there were no gifts or money, Tsunade didn't mind.

After Yua became Hokage and his identity as the first Hokage's disciple and the second Hokage's nephew was revealed, the political legacy and related influence of the Senju clan naturally fell to Yua.

Of course, none of these are important; what matters is talent.

Among the talents, the most outstanding of the new generation is naturally Yuya, who held the Chunin Exams to invite people from the other four countries to show off Konoha's chakra cannon.

At that time, Orochimaru and Sakumo Hatake advanced to the final decisive moment.

These two are undoubtedly recognized by the villagers of Konoha as the two strongest members of the new generation.

Now, one of the two has been driven out of the village by Yuya...

This made many members of the Senju clan who had gone into seclusion very anxious.

If Yuya had expelled a ninja from a ninja clan, the villagers' reaction wouldn't have been so strong.

But it is precisely because they consider Youya to be "one of their own" that they are so worried about her.

Of course, Tsunade's father was anxious because he knew that his daughter had a good relationship with Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Therefore, he rushed over immediately to tell Tsunade the news.

To avoid attracting attention, he didn't even use ninjutsu, running all the way on foot.

Tsunade didn't have that concern. She rushed out of the house, leaving behind the words "Take good care of Yuki and Yuru" before heading towards the entrance of Konoha Village.

In the past, most of the ninjas in Konoha Village would run on two-story buildings.

Now, Tsunade stands in the neon-lit steel jungle of the night, where a single misstep could send her plummeting more than ten stories...

Of course, Tsunade couldn't possibly have missed a step.

Well, besides, you won't get hurt if you step into a hole.

Tsunade hurried as fast as she could and finally arrived at the gates of Konoha's inner and outer castles.

The old gate to Konoha Village remains unchanged; it's still as huge as ever, which conveniently facilitates the use of vehicles by merchants.

At this moment, Yua, along with Sakumo Hatake and a pervert in a tight-fitting suit, are seeing Orochimaru and his group off.

Tsunade was immediately puzzled. Why wasn't it just Orochimaru? What were the others doing?

But there was no time to think about it anymore. Tsunade ran over, her slightly bulky, casual clothes making her appear even more bulky, and ran between Yua and Orochimaru, shouting as she went, "Wait! Wait!"

Both Yuya and Orochimaru showed some surprise.

Then Yuya suddenly realized that someone had told Tsunade.

Yuya frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. It probably wasn't his ninjas or the Anbu who informed on him. After all, Tsunade was the princess of the Senju clan, and he hadn't cleared out the barbecue restaurant, so it was normal for people to find out.

Tsunade ran over, panting, and clutched her knees. She looked up at Yua, her face full of confusion: "Why? Why did you expel Orochimaru, husband? What did he do wrong? If he did something wrong, punishment is enough; there's no need to expel him!"

Yuya and Orochimaru looked at Tsunade's tense expression, and then at the fact that she was still wearing pajamas. The two fell silent for a moment.

Orochimaru felt a warmth in his heart. After all, he was not the same person from his previous life who had experienced the continuous deaths of people around him. Although Orochimaru was still firmly on the path of exploring immortality, compared to the Orochimaru in the original timeline, this Orochimaru was a little abnormal, but only a little.

At least, he was happy that Tsunade genuinely wanted him to stay.

"There's no need to make things difficult for the Hokage," Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice. After thinking for a moment, he added, "It was I who took the initiative to suggest to the Hokage... and to Yua-nii that I leave the village."

Tsunade was stunned, and memories of the time when Yua took her, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya to eat barbecue flashed through her mind...

Tsunade's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Why? Why...why are you leaving the village?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "It's not anyone's fault, it's just because... if I continue to stay in the village, then my dream, my goal, will never come true."

Tsunade bit her lip and looked at Yua beside her, wanting Yua to say something.

However, Yuya could only remain silent in the face of all this.

Orochimaru smiled. Actually, Orochimaru could smile gently, unlike the cold, venomous smile he gave later on.

"Alright, don't overthink it, and don't let this cause any conflict with Brother Youya. I'm really sincere, and... even though I left the village, it doesn't mean I can't come back. If in the future... if my experiments and my dreams succeed... I will definitely come back."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade and Yua and solemnly made a lifelong promise.

Tsunade was heartbroken. She knew she couldn't stop her friend. Faced with all this, all she could do was cry helplessly...

……

Yuya finally helped Tsunade home.

Normally at this time, Tsunade would unleash a torrent of emotions on Yua, and then drag him to take a bath or something.

However, today, Tsunade felt incredibly heartbroken. She looked at Yua, tugging at his sleeve with a pleading expression, and asked, "Can you tell me? Why...why did Orochimaru have to leave Konoha?"

Yuya fell silent. He now had two choices. First, he could keep it from Tsunade, which would be better. After all, some things were too dark, and if Tsunade knew, it would inevitably corrupt her mind.

He didn't want Tsunade to experience too much filth.

but……

After all, she's his wife. Yuya knows all too well that if Tsunade is stubborn, no one can stop her, and she'll probably investigate secretly...

This is also a troublesome matter...

So, after thinking for a long time, Yuya could only hand Tsunade a folder: "The reason is in here..."

Tsunade took it and immediately opened it to read. Yuya sighed, left the sofa, and left Tsunade alone to have some peace and quiet.

Pushing open the door to the side bedroom, Yuya smiled slightly as she looked at the two little ones who were already fast asleep. Tsunade's father had left after the two returned.

My father-in-law also had a hard time putting the two little devils to sleep.

After taking a shower and drying himself off, Youya crawled into bed and fell asleep immediately.

I'm so tired today, I need to rest...

After an unknown amount of time, Youya felt a figure enter her blanket...

Tsunade snuggled into Yua's arms and hugged him tightly. Yua, still half-asleep, casually asked, "Have you finished reading?"

Tsunade: "..."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade hummed in agreement.

You Ya sighed helplessly.

"I didn't know... Orochimaru would be so extreme... It seems... it might really be better for him to leave Konoha." Tsunade hugged Yua tightly, sobbing softly, "After all... we might have to fight him to the death..."

Yuya remained silent, embracing the extremely vulnerable Tsunade...

……

A month later, Tsunade visited Konoha First Hospital and discussed the promotion of the basic surgical manual with Katsuragi.

Before leaving, Katsuragi gave Tsunade a new handwritten copy containing a record of a new surgical achievement.

Tsunade didn't pay much attention, thinking it was Katsuragi's new achievement.

However, when she got home and opened the handwritten book, she became increasingly horrified as she read on...

Because it clearly depicts the internal anatomy of the human body.

Yes, all of them.

Konoha General Hospital occasionally encounters patients whose severed hands or feet cannot be reattached. After being saved, these patients are naturally extremely grateful to the hospital. At this time, the hospital proposes to dissect the unreattached hand to examine its internal structure and contribute to the development of medicine.

Some patients will object, but others will agree.

Therefore, Konoha Hospital has anatomical diagrams of the hands and feet.

But this anatomical diagram...

It's so detailed...

It's so detailed that... it's not just inside the chest cavity, but even...

They even drew the internal structure of the brain...

This……

Without actual examples, this couldn't possibly have been conceived from mere imagination, could it?

but……

There has never been a precedent of someone donating their body in Konoha Village!

Tsunade grew increasingly alarmed as she looked, and suddenly, she thought of someone…

Orochimaru...

"..."

"Yoo-ya! You bastard!"
