Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 102 Orochimaru: So I was the one who was in charge of the pot!

"You little brat, you were lying to me, weren't you!"

"How could that be? Tsunade-sensei, you've misunderstood me. I was unconscious just now. It was probably due to weakness causing a mental breakdown that made my brain send out incorrect instructions, causing my tongue to stick out."

Bai Yunyoujie's ramblings failed to convince Tsunade.

Seeing that she was about to throw a punch, Shirokumo Yosuke quickly said, "Okay, Tsunade-sensei, I'll confess everything. Actually, I went to see Orochimaru just now."

"Orochimaru? What do you want with him?"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's name, Tsunade's attention was indeed diverted. She assumed Shirakumo Yosuke was involved in some forbidden technique, so she lowered her fist and asked...

"What exactly happened?"

"Actually, there's something I need Tsunade-sensei's permission for. Orochimaru has developed a cell fusion technology that can restore the body's original cells to their previous state, thus granting youth. Now, we need powerful cells."

"That bastard Orochimaru, he's a leopard that can't change its spots!"

Before Hakuyun Yosuke could finish speaking, Tsunade angrily interrupted him and began cursing Orochimaru.

"This bastard was already conducting human experiments. Although the Daming Prefecture has sent him death row inmates, he still hasn't repented and keeps thinking about his grandfather's cells. He's only trying to study his grandfather's cells because he has plenty of test subjects."

Shirokumo Yosuke felt a little fortunate. Luckily, he had pushed the matter onto Orochimaru. If he had offered to do the research himself, Tsunade's fist would probably have already hit him on the head.

"I heard that Orochimaru's research has been successful, but cells with strong vitality are the most suitable for restoring the 'youth' of cells. If the First Hokage's bloodline is not available, Orochimaru plans to try other bloodline limits."

Bai Yunyoujie pretended to know only a little bit and said that although he and Orochimaru could secretly use Hashirama cells for experiments, there was still a risk of exposure.

It would have been better to tell Tsunade from the beginning. After all, the First Hokage was her grandfather. If he kept it from Tsunade and it was eventually discovered, it would definitely affect his relationship with Tsunade.

"It's already successful? Orochimaru has this ability?"

Tsunade frowned slightly. She knew Orochimaru; he might be very talented in the study of ninjutsu, but this was human experimentation.

Orochimaru doesn't know medical ninjutsu, and he didn't have the same status and treatment as her grandfather before, so how could he suddenly succeed in researching it?

"That's right, he confidently said that he had succeeded, and I was even planning to ask Tsunade-sensei for a copy."

Shirokumo Yosuke patted his chest confidently and said, "If I could regain my youth, the first thing I'd give would definitely be Tsunade-sensei's, even though she's already very young!"

"Don't flatter me. You stupid disciple, nothing good ever comes of your kind words."

When Tsunade saw Yosuke Shirakumo's expression, she knew he was heavily involved; even setting aside Orochimaru's influence, he was definitely actively involved.

Although research on her grandfather's cells had been conducted many times in Konoha, and it was even her great-uncle who initiated the project in the first place, the initial research on Hashirama's cells was done in order to recreate the Wood Release technique that could counter the Tailed Beasts.

However, Wood Release was too difficult to reproduce, and the casualty rate of human experiments was too high, so the Second Hokage banned the plan.

After Kushina Uzumaki became a Jinchūriki, she nearly went berserk several times, so Hiruzen Sarutobi restarted his research on Hashirama cells.

However, due to the high number of deaths, it was forced to be banned again.

Tsunade knew very well how difficult it was to study Hashirama's cells, and she suspected that Orochimaru was deceiving Yosuke Shirakumo; however, if she objected, that bastard Orochimaru would do anything to achieve his goals and would definitely conduct research in secret.

"Alright, I'll give my grandfather's cells to Orochimaru, but don't get involved in this. That bastard Orochimaru probably has some bad intentions towards you."

Tsunade, still worried, cautioned him, "Orochimaru had previously tried to abduct Yosuke Shirakumo. Although I don't know what agreement they reached later, I'm still uneasy about Orochimaru."

"Thank you, Tsunade-sensei. You must be tired after a busy day. Please take over from me now."

"Hey? Yosuke, what are you doing?"

"Just enjoy the massage, Tsunade-sensei."

"Idiot, I don't need that! Stop it!"

"Stop touching Tsunade-sensei! Why are you acting like a child!"

Shiraku Yosuke began to massage forcefully.

He had great strength to hold Tsunade in place. In any case, the only way for Tsunade to break free was by using chakra, but that would mean resorting to violence and turning against her.

Tsunade would never do that. She couldn't break free by simply struggling, so she could only turn red with anger.

the next day, early morning

Orochimaru!

Not long after the sun rose, Tsunade arrived outside Orochimaru's "prison" and shouted loudly in an unfriendly tone.

Two minutes later, Orochimaru slowly walked out and, upon seeing Tsunade, said with great surprise, "Tsunade, what brings you here? This is the first time you've come here since I returned to the village, hehe."

"Orochimaru, you're truly a man of deception and manipulation. Be careful in the future!"

"What?"

Orochimaru looked surprised. What did Tsunade mean by that?

"Here, this is what you need."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she tossed a liquid container to Orochimaru. He caught it and saw that it contained a small piece of flesh and tissue. He immediately realized that it was Hashirama's cell.

"Tsunade, thank you."

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, his snake-like eyes narrowed, and he quickly dodged away.

The next second, Tsunade stomped down, the immense force creating a deep crater several meters wide in the hard ground with a deafening roar.

After Orochimaru distanced himself, he first stuffed the container of Hashirama cells into the mouth of a summoned snake, then asked with a grim face, "Tsunade, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't try to seduce my disciple again, Orochimaru. This is the last time, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

Tsunade spoke coldly to Orochimaru, then strode away.

Her fight with Orochimaru would take at least an hour or two to determine a winner, so her move just now was a warning.

After Tsunade left, Kabuto Yakushi, having come out of the research base because of the commotion, saw the deep crater created by Orochimaru's monstrous strength and approached him, asking...

"Lord Orochimaru, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just got blamed for some bastard, but at least I gained something from it."

Orochimaru finally understood why Tsunade was causing him trouble. It turned out that it was because Hakuun Yosuke hadn't told Tsunade the truth, probably just like with Jiraiya last time.

"Go back and prepare for the experiment, Kabuto, but be careful next time."

"Be careful of what? Lord Orochimaru."

"Be careful not to be fooled by Shirokumo Yosuke, and let Kimimaro go to Konoha for treatment. Tsunade is back."

Even if he takes the blame, Orochimaru still has a way to retaliate.

One is Tsunade, whose violence makes him want to avoid her; the other is Shirakumo Yosuke, who currently needs Shirakumo Yosuke's help for most of his experiments. He can't afford to offend either of these two, master and apprentice.

------------

"Zhiwei, it's been a long time."

After Hyuga Hiashi sat down, he spoke. Opposite him was Shion Aburame, the head of the Aburame clan.

Because the Aburame clan's secret techniques and Byakugan bloodline limit both have reconnaissance capabilities, and with the addition of the Inuzuka clan, the ninjas of the three clans often team up together, and their relationship is quite good.

In fact, he and Yu Nu Zhiwei were students in the same year.

After pouring the tea, Aburame Shiki didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Hiashi, you rarely visit. What brings you here today?"

"For the Hokage election."

Hiashi Hyuga didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

"Hokage election?"

Aburame Shiki was slightly taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Hiashi, are you also going to participate in the Hokage election and want my Aburame clan to support you?"

Hiashi Hyuga shook his head and said, "No, I will not participate in the Hokage election. The Hyuga clan supports Lady Tsunade. I came to see you today hoping that the Aburame clan will support Lady Tsunade like us."

"Lady Tsunade?"

"That's right, Zhiwei. We can all see that only the two Legendary Sannin are qualified to become Hokage candidates. Everyone else is far inferior to them, so the Hokage will definitely be one of them."

Hiashi Hyuga paused for a moment, hesitating slightly, but still truthfully told Shiki Aburame, "The Third Hokage supports Jiraiya-sama, but I think Tsunade-sama is the most suitable to be the Fifth Hokage."

"Hmm"

Aburame Shiki did not answer. Their clan only needed to complete their missions properly. They possessed inherited secret techniques and did not cause trouble, making them indispensable members of Konoha.

Getting involved in politics doesn't seem to do them any good.

"Zhiwei, the reason I came to find you is because of the unique nature of the Aburame clan. As far as I know, you don't have any other businesses, do you?"

Compared to the Hyuga and Inuzuka families, the secret techniques of the Aburame family are really not suitable for doing business, and the people of their family also have some characteristics that make it difficult for them to attract the attention of others!

If you set up a stall or open a shop, customers will probably think it's an unmanned store and just grab what they want and leave.

Therefore, the Aburame clan can only earn rewards through Konoha missions.

"Let me tell you something, Zhiwei. Konoha paid a heavy price for peace talks with Iwagakure. They gave up the right to intervene in four or five small countries and one-third of next year's mission assignments."

Upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words, Shiki Aburame looked up in surprise, quickly realizing the implications for the Aburame clan.

Hiashi Hyuga continued, "This means that one-third of the Aburame clan's ninjas will not be able to get missions and will lose their source of income. And it's not just one-third, Shiki, the Chunin and Genin will have a tough time from now on."

"Furthermore, if we don't resolve this through war with the Iwagakure ninja, it won't just be next year, but the year after, and the year after that, it will be the same for Shiki. The Hyuga clan has its own income, but what about you?"

"."

Aburame Shiki was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Will Lady Tsunade change this situation after becoming the Fifth Hokage?"

"Of course, to be honest, Lady Tsunade's disciple, Lord Yosuke, has a very good relationship with the daimyo, and Lord Yosuke also has his own business, which can earn hundreds of millions or even billions of taels a year if managed well."

"I have already spoken with Lord Yosuke, and he will fully support Lady Tsunade."

"In that case, Hiashi and the Aburame clan will support Lady Tsunade, but it's best if the mission request is genuine."

Aburame Shiki quickly made a decision. He didn't have any opinion on whether Jiraiya or Tsunade should become Hokage, but he had to be responsible to his clan.

Most of the clan members live off the rewards of their missions, and if what Hiashi said is true, then the Aburame clan will be in dire straits.

"Even to support Lady Tsunade, I wouldn't lie about something like this, Shii."

Hyuga Hiashimi Aburame agreed, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then prepared to take her leave: "Well then, let's leave it at that for today. I have to visit other friends, so I'll take my leave now."

"Um"

Besides the Aburame clan, Hyuga Hiashi also visited two other ninja clans and several friends.

The effect was good; he drank quite a bit of tea, and after returning to the Hyuga clan, he went to the toilet.

Hiashi Hyuga's actions also caught the attention of the Anbu, since the head of the Hyuga clan rarely walked around the village, yet today he visited so many ninjas so frequently.

If anything unusual happens in the village, the Anbu will report it to the Hokage.

Upon learning about Hiashi Hyuga's situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly thought of Tsunade, as Hiashi Hyuga had made this move after Tsunade visited the Hyuga clan.

The intention is clear: Hiashi Hyuga intends to support Tsunade.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't sit still any longer. He had previously thought that Tsunade was aloof and disdainful of forming relationships with other ninjas, while Jiraiya had the support of the Sarutobi, Ino-Shika-Cho, and Jiraiya clans, as well as Koharu and En.

She has a much greater advantage than Tsunade!

But now, if Tsunade had the support of the Hyuga clan, things might be different.

After the Uchiha clan was destroyed, the Hyuga clan became the number one ninja clan in Konoha. Although they were independent, they must have had many friends.

If Hiashi Hyuga continues to win him over like this, the future of the Fifth Hokage is truly uncertain.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want Tsunade to become the Fifth Hokage. He hoped that Konoha would be stronger than Yosuke Shirakumo, so that no matter how much Yosuke Shirakumo grew, Konoha would gradually become stronger than him.

However, if Tsunade becomes Hokage, it might allow Yosuke Shirakumo to rise above Konoha, which would contradict his own ideas.

So Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately went to find Shikaku Nara to discuss a countermeasure.

--------------

Early in the morning, the villagers of Konoha discovered numerous pieces of paper with writing printed on them on the walls and the ground after they went out.

When they picked it up or took a closer look, they were immediately struck by its contents.

"Huh? What's this? A peace agreement?"

"You saw it too? This isn't a peace agreement, it's a defeat agreement! Has Konoha lost?"

"How...how could such an agreement be signed? Who signed it? It's utterly shameful!"

"At least there's peace now, as long as there's no war."

One of the villagers timidly voiced a different opinion, only to be immediately rebuked by the one beside him: "Idiot! Isn't this peace something we begged for? It's utterly humiliating!"

The news spread quickly, and these flyers were displayed on several main streets in Konoha.

By the time the Anbu realized what was happening and tried to collect and destroy the evidence, the peace agreement between Konoha and Iwagakure could no longer be concealed.

While the Anbu were conducting their operation, Orochimaru and Yosuke Shirakumo were watching the increasingly bustling Konoha from a secluded rooftop.

Orochimaru sighed and said, "Yosuke-kun, this is the third time I've been blamed. If this continues, Jiraiya and the old man will lose their temper and tear me apart."

"I guess their patience has reached its limit. Yosuke, you called me back, you didn't mean you wanted them to kill me, did you?"

He handled this matter.

To be precise, it was Shiraku Yosuke who asked him to do it.

Kabuto copied a large number of the agreement contents, and then Orochimaru summoned many small snakes to scatter throughout Konoha.

Time was a bit rushed, and they also had to keep it a secret from the village's secret police, so some traces of snakes crawling and snake slime would definitely be left behind, and they could trace it back to him when they investigated.

"Definitely not. If they attack you, I'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take you away. Don't worry, Orochimaru, I'm on your side."

"Tsunade gave me trouble just yesterday."

"That was an accident, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru gave Hakuun Yosuke a forced smile, then felt a sense of helplessness; he had actually been manipulated by him one day.

But there was no way around it; compared to Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, Yosuke Shirakumo had given him far too much.

If the experiment of fusing Hashirama's cells is successful, he will be able to obtain multiple bloodlines such as Konoha and Sharingan. Moreover, Orochimaru is very confident about this experiment.

No wonder he didn't try to take over Uchiha Sasuke's body in the future; he probably didn't think much of it.

If Yosuke Shirakumo can continue to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, then Orochimaru can accept being used all the time.

"I'm going back now, Orochimaru. If they cause you trouble, let me know via kunai."

After saying this, Shirokumo Yosuke used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

Orochimaru shook his head and also left using Earth Release.

Soon, the news reached Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His face was terribly cold. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, unable to utter a single word.

"Investigate who spread this rumor, then send people to dispel it and prevent anyone from discussing it."

Bang!

The door was pushed open, and Tsunade strode in, followed by Jiraiya who called out to her.

Tsunade, who had just entered, said directly, "Old man, what time is it? Why are you still doing such useless things? You can't shut the whole village up. What we need to do now is deal with the aftermath!"

"Tsunade, did you do this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately looked at Tsunade with suspicion. There were very few people who knew about this, and if it was Tsunade, then many things would make sense.

"What does this have to do with me!? If I wanted to say it, I wouldn't have kept it a secret until today; I would have just said it during the Jonin meeting."

Tsunade was taken aback and then said angrily, but she also felt a little guilty.

She certainly didn't say that, but her scoundrel disciple might not. This morning, Shirokumo Yosuke wasn't home, and she, as his teacher, didn't know where he went.

Tsunade felt that her disciple was getting bolder and bolder, and it wouldn't be surprising at all if he did something like this behind her back.
