Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"Trust me, I will make your scars disappear and your body heal."

Orochimaru gently picked up Uchiha Hikaru and walked into the bathroom, putting her in the bathtub with bubbling liquid that was dark blue and purple, like the crucible used by old witches to brew potions.

? !

Uchiha Guang stared at the bathtub with wide eyes. The color was abnormal, like boiling water.

"Don't worry, I won't cook you."

Orochimaru thought Uchiha Hikaru was worried that he was going to boil her, so he put her in the bathtub and said, "There's blueberry-flavored carbonated bath salts in this. Didn't you like drinking blueberry-flavored juice before?"

"It smells delicious..."

Uchiha Guang sat in the bathtub, smelling the scent of blueberries, feeling the warm water instead of boiling water, and looking at the bubbling water was very strange.

The scars on that child... no wonder...

Hinata Mio noticed the scars on Uchiha Hikaru's body and couldn't imagine what she had been through. It must have been even more difficult than what the people of the former Hyuga clan had experienced.

No, compared to her, the life my family lives is already a paradise.

After taking a bath, Orochimaru changed into his pajamas and sat at the desk in his room, writing down Uchiha Hikaru's physical symptoms in a notebook and thinking about a solution.

Xiaoguang can use the transplanted eye techniques normally, but she will bear a greater burden... To solve her physical problems, either the transplanted eye techniques must be removed or those eye techniques must become her own abilities.

That power that balances the chaotic chakra must be the eye technique she mentioned, Eight Thousand Spears...

The eye technique can maintain the balance of chaotic chakra, so is the reason why her body is like this now because the methods of those bastards who transplanted the eye technique were too clumsy?

Just using Xiaoguang as a weapon, so it doesn't matter even if the weapon is damaged...

Click——!

The pen in Orochimaru's hand broke into two pieces.

dong dong dong——!

There was a knock on the door. Orochimaru threw the broken pen into the trash can, stood up, walked to the door and opened it, only to see Uchiha Hikaru hugging a pillow.

"Hikaru? Don't you like your room?"

Orochimaru thought of Uchiha Hikaru's room, which was decorated with many dolls and should be very popular among children.

However, judging from Uchiha Guang's reaction, it seemed that it was not what she thought.

"No... I can't sleep alone. Can we sleep together?"

Uchiha Hikaru was a little shy and looked at Orochimaru with his big black eyes full of expectation.

"Ok."

Orochimaru did not refuse Uchiha Hikaru.

Volume 152: Chapter 4 (K) Warm Night Light

Uchiha Hikaru walked into Orochimaru's room, carefully placed her pillow next to Orochimaru's pillow, and observed her room.

She found that her room was very simple. Apart from some necessary things, there were no extra decorations. Everything was very simple. However, there were so many decorations in the room assigned to her that she didn't even know what many of them were used for.

"Is this... a snake slough?"

Uchiha Hikaru looked at the white snake's slough in the glass case on the desk and the photo in the frame. In the photo, Tsunade was wearing a nurse's uniform and looked much younger than her.

"The white snake symbolizes luck and rebirth."

Orochimaru thought of what Sarutobi once said to her, and said, "Hikaru, if you see the white snake's slough, your luck will improve."

"It is my greatest luck to have met you and Tsunade... If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have stayed underground, and I might not be able to leave until I die."

Uchiha Hikaru felt that she was very lucky to have met Orochimaru and Tsunade. If she had met someone else... she couldn't imagine what would become of her. She might even be used again.

She no longer wanted to be a weapon. She had her own name, no longer a name of a weapon, but Uchiha Hikaru, the light that passed through the darkness and lived in the sunshine.

Come to think of it... Orochimaru is also a white snake...

Uchiha Hikaru thought of Orochimaru in Sage Mode.

"I will give you a full body check tomorrow. If the situation is optimistic, you will recover soon."

Orochimaru patted Uchiha Hikaru's head, closed the notebook on the desk, walked to the bed and asked, "Hikaru, do you want to sleep outside or inside?"

"Can I sleep in it?"

Uchiha Hikaru looked at the bed and then at Orochimaru with a questioning look in his eyes.

"You can sleep inside or outside if you want. I'm not picky."

Orochimaru made a gesture of invitation, and Uchiha Hikaru quickly got under the quilt, revealing a pair of big black eyes, staring at her without blinking.

So soft...

Uchiha Guang felt how soft the bed under her was. It was something she had never experienced before. She had always slept on the floor before, and at best she could only sleep on a straw mat.

Why does it feel like... I picked up a scarred little wild cat?

Orochimaru suddenly had this feeling when he looked at Uchiha Guang like this. He lifted the quilt and lay down in it. A pair of thin and small arms hugged her arms.

"Go to sleep."

Orochimaru flicked his finger, and the wind chakra condensed at his fingertips flew out. With a click, the lights in the room went out, and the room suddenly became dark.

"Do you need to leave a night light on?"

Orochimaru felt that Uchiha Hikaru's hand holding his arm became tighter, as if he was afraid of the darkness.

"It's safe to sleep next to Orochimaru. I... I can overcome it..."

Uchiha Hikaru held Orochimaru's arm tightly, and kept telling herself that she was no longer in that dark and suffocating underground.

If I leave the lights on, it might bother Orochimaru...

Uchiha Hikaru didn't want to disturb Orochimaru's rest because of herself. She was a little afraid that Orochimaru would think she was troublesome one day, so she didn't want to cause trouble for her.

"You just left there not long ago. How can you possibly overcome it so easily?"

Orochimaru thought of the new product he had developed some time ago, stood up, turned on the light and left the room.

Uchiha Guang nervously clenched the quilt with his hands, his big black eyes staring at the door of the room.

After a while, Orochimaru came back with a night light in the shape of a kitten, which he placed on the bedside table and lit up.

The cute little cat is lit with warm lights, which is particularly adorable and healing.

"how do you feel?"

Orochimaru thought this night light was quite cute. It was a product for children produced by the White Snake Medical Technology Company. The portable rice cooker she had used before was also the company's flagship product, which advertised that one could eat delicious rice anytime and anywhere in the wild.

The company's development cannot just rely on its own strength. It needs to continuously develop new tracks and products to make more money. There are many places where she needs to spend money.

Stockpiling magical explosives requires money, a lot of money.

Moreover, the wars between small countries caused the people of small countries to become refugees, and many people chose to seek refuge in neutral countries. The Land of Waves was one of their choices.

Once the war between great powers breaks out.

There will only be more refugees and homeless war orphans.

Uchiha Hikaru threw herself into Orochimaru's arms, resting her head on her chest.

"Xiaoguang?"

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Hikaru in confusion, wondering what was wrong with her.

It’s so hard to guess what children are thinking!

Orochimaru suddenly felt that Tsunade was a very easy person to understand, while the Uchiha Hikaru who had been buried underground for a hundred years was really difficult to understand, with a delicate mind and very sensitive.

"I'm sorry to bother you..."

"No, how could it be?"

Orochimaru felt the wet touch on his chest and sighed inwardly. This child was more sensitive than she had imagined.

"I told you, this is your home, relax a little, this little thing is not a big deal."

Orochimaru could only patiently calm Uchiha Hikaru's emotions, thinking in a way that made the best of it.

The biggest gain from this treasure hunt is a real little ancestor.

I don't know if Grandma Mito scolded Tsunade. This time I really don't know if I should blame her...

If Orochimaru knew that there was a girl sealed at the location marked on the map, she would still go to unseal it, because she would be curious about why the girl was sealed and what special abilities the girl had...

Curiosity really killed the snake!

Late at night, Uchiha Hikaru suddenly woke up from his sleep, looking at Orochimaru who was sleeping beside him, and at the cute kitten-shaped night light on the bedside table. The fear and terror in his heart were like snowflakes melting in the sun. He rubbed his face against Orochimaru's arm and soon fell asleep. This time he slept particularly deeply.

Have a nightmare?

Orochimaru opened his eyes slits and looked at Uchiha Hikaru.

The next day, early in the morning.

Orochimaru slowly opened his eyes, lifted the quilt and looked at Uchiha Hikaru who was curled up and holding her arms.

It's really like a cat.

Orochimaru tried to pull his arm free from Uchiha Hikaru's tight grip, but it only made her hold it tighter, like a drowning man grabbing at a straw.

boom--!

"Please go cook."

Orochimaru formed seals with his hands and a shadow clone appeared beside him.

"I will handle it."

The shadow clone looked at the original body with pity and walked out with brisk steps.

I'm so angry... I really want to beat up my own shadow clone...

Orochimaru looked at the shadow clone's annoying appearance and clenched his fist.

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

In the bright laboratory, Uchiha Hikaru held Orochimaru's arm nervously.

Seeing Uchiha Hikaru so uneasy, Hinata Mio comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just a physical examination. Only when we know the specific condition of your body can we treat you."

Not long after, after a very comprehensive examination, Uchiha Hikaru looked at Orochimaru who was analyzing her blood sample with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Yimu walked into the room with a thick document in his hand and said respectfully, "Lord Orochimaru, this is Miss Guang's physical data."

"Ah."

Orochimaru took the document from Im and flipped through it quickly, his lips curled up slightly as he said, "Just as I thought, Hikaru, your eye technique, Eight Thousand Spears, has balanced the power of the eye technique transplanted into you. The reason your body is getting worse and worse is because of the sequelae of the poor transplant method, causing your body to gradually collapse..."

"It seems like you can't withstand the power of the pupil technique, but in reality, it's just because their technique is too poor and they hurt your body."

Orochimaru handed the document to Hinata Mio, "Mio, take a look at it too."

"Ah."

Hinata Mio flipped through the documents with a frown on her face. Uchiha Hikaru's physical condition was even worse than she had observed with her Byakugan.

"Then... my body..."

Uchiha Hikaru clasped her hands together, worried that she was doomed, but when she thought about meeting Orochimaru in her last moments, she suddenly felt that death was not so scary.

Boom-!

"What are you thinking? I told you I would heal you."

Orochimaru knocked Uchiha Hikaru's cranky little head.

"Your health is better than I thought. My worst-case scenario is that most of your organs will need to be replaced, or even remodeled, to survive."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru subconsciously took a step back, frightened by Orochimaru's words.

"I said it was the worst-case scenario."

Orochimaru reiterated what he had just said.

"The pupil-sealing curse I placed on you is currently beneficial to you. Once your body recovers, I will consider removing it."
