Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 402 The Consequences of Yuya's Collapse

If Youya were here, he would definitely be very surprised.

There's no other reason than that the figure looks too much like him.

They look exactly alike, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Except for the snake tail on his buttocks, he looks exactly like You Ya.

Yes, this is a clone of Yua created by two Orochimarus with a great deal of effort.

They have been preparing for this day for more than a decade.

As for how Yuya's related cells came about...

Do you remember the great battle between Yua and Madara Uchiha in that other world?

In the end, just as Madara was about to succeed, Yua used a barrage of fire to force the Divine Tree to defend itself, thus depriving Madara of his last chance to perform Infinite Tsukuyomi.

After all, to use Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Divine Tree must bloom, and then Madara used his third eye to apply this ninjutsu to the moon.

Yes, then Princess Kaguya can possess another body and be reborn.

(Even now, the thought of Madara's body becoming Kaguya-hime makes me feel a little... well, not used to it...)

Ahem, getting back to the main topic, the great battle in that other world not only revealed Yua's strength but also allowed the two Orochimarus to collect a lot of Yua's body tissue.

I've collected quite a few strands of hair from his bald head.

With their abilities, a single hair would be enough for them to create a clone of Yua.

Against this backdrop, they created a replica of Yua.

……

Konoha Village:

Yua, unaware that the two idiots Orochimaru had created clones of him, was currently sneezing.

And he kept sneezing.

"This is really strange. It shouldn't be like this. I haven't heard of any flu virus recently."

Tsunade walked over to Yua and touched his burning forehead with her hand, looking puzzled.

You Ya looked terrible; his face was flushed and he was breathing heavily, clearly suffering from a severe cold.

Although You Ya was feeling groggy from a bad cold, he didn't really care much about it.

After all, his wife is Tsunade. Does he even know how skilled she is in medicine?

It's about three or four stories high!

In fact, Tsunade didn't think it was a serious illness.

A severe cold is still a cold; how dangerous can it be?

Then, Youya was sick for three days.

Tsunade was a little confused.

Logically speaking, even the most severe cold should be better after three days of medication.

Why does Yuya still look so sickly?

Yuya, on the other hand, had already sensed something.

These past few days, every time he falls asleep, he feels like he's lying in a pool of cold liquid all around him.

He desperately wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't.

Occasionally, when I move my arms, I feel a strong wave of drowsiness wash over me.

Finally, Youya woke up, but her condition had worsened.

Three days after Yua collapsed, the people of Konoha Village sensed that something was wrong.

On the fourth day, Youya's fever subsided.

Before Tsunade could even rejoice, Yua fell into a coma.

Moreover, it was the kind of coma that couldn't be woken up no matter what.

Tsunade was terrified.

Yuya has been in a coma for a week, and Nara Shikaya and Nara Shikaku are almost at their breaking point.

They can manage some things temporarily without Youya, but if Youya remains absent, then things will really get serious.

For example, Konoha's most important research institute.

The research institute in Konoha appears to consume at least nearly one billion yen of Konoha's funds every year.

But from the initial research on networks, to the later research on electronic devices, and now to the rockets launched several times a year, which of these is not researched by scientific research institutes?

The research projects and funding for the research institute were all approved and requested by You Ya.

If Yuya is gone, it's questionable whether the research institute can continue its projects, let alone whether the current researchers will follow the research goals set by Nara Shikaya and Nara Shikaku.

They are not like You Ya. The reason why You Ya can get the people in the research institute to obey him is because the research institute was built by You Ya against everyone's wishes from the very beginning.

To be honest, the current director of the research institute was personally invited by You Ya to join the institute.

After all, when the research institute was first established, most of the talented people, except for Orochimaru, had tempers.

Moreover, the future of the research institute was uncertain at the time, and the senior engineers there were moved by You Ya's sincerity.

Therefore, apart from Yua, these people really don't give Nara Shikaya much face.

And this is actually part of Yua's considerations for becoming the next Hokage.

The importance of the research institute is self-evident. To become the next Hokage, you must make sure the research institute listens to you.

Unfortunately, Youya has yet to meet such a person.

In short, Youya can go a week without working, or even a month without working, and it won't bother her.

But if it takes longer, that would be very troublesome.

Moreover, something seemed very wrong with Youya's sudden coma.

Tsunade was extremely anxious, after all, Yua was more than just a lover to her, he was also...

Yeah, it's a goal I've coveted since I was little...

Yuya's body had never been so seriously ill before. No, now it seems almost certain that this is not an illness.

What disease presents like this?!

Tsunade gritted her teeth. If she found out who was behind this, she would make them pay dearly!

But soon, things took a turn for the better.

At Orochimaru's two research bases, after a week of nurturing, the two finally allowed the clone of Yua to open its eyes.

With just one glance, the playful look in the eyes of this Yua clone made one of the two Orochimarus freeze instantly.

Then, the clone closed its eyes.

It fell asleep again.

"???"

The other Orochimaru looked puzzled.

What does this mean?

He opened his eyes, glanced at it, and then left?

Meanwhile, Orochimaru in this world was already on the verge of exploding with goosebumps!

"What's wrong with you?" Orochimaru from the other world asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, I... I have to run! I can't stay here any longer! I have to get out of here right now!"

Orochimaru from the other world frowned: "What are you talking about?! What on earth happened?!"

The Orochimaru of this world snapped out of his daze and looked at the Orochimaru of the other world from his muttering state.

Then, his eyes gradually curved into a smile.

……

One day later:

"Bang"

"Hands up, Orochimaru! By order of Lady Tsunade, we are here to capture you and take you back to Konoha!"

A group of ANBU ninja stormed into two of Orochimaru's research bases.

Orochimaru raised his hands, not even bothering to resist: "I won't fight back, but don't touch my test subjects!"

Orochimaru's pupils turned into snake eyes, and then he looked at the several leading ANBU ninjas who had entered.

After taking a deep breath, Orochimaru said softly, "I know why my brother wants to see me. Let's go, I'll go back with you."
