Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Geniuses like Orochimaru all have their own ideas. Once she really becomes alienated from the Konoha top management, it will be a huge loss for Konoha.

"You should consider my age. There's nothing wrong with building it in advance. It's better to be prepared."

Uzumaki Mito took a sip of tea. She was determined to make them build the Spiral Tower. If they waited until her suppression of the Nine-Tails weakened before building the Spiral Tower, it would be too late by then.

She didn't want to end up in old age unable to suppress the Nine-Tailed Fox and causing damage to the village that Hashirama loved so much. If she did that, she wouldn't even be able to face him in the other world.

"Since you've said so, Mito-sama, I have no objection to the construction of the spiral tower."

Utane Koharu thought this was a good thing as it could prevent trouble before it happens. Besides, Lord Mito had already made up his mind.

But why would Danzo oppose such a good thing for the village?

Utane Koharu was a little surprised. Based on her understanding of Danzo Shimura, he shouldn't refuse such a thing.

"I don't have any objection either."

Mito Kado En looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo and said, "Huruzen, Danzo, why don't you just follow Mito-sama's idea and build the Spiral Tower."

"Huruzen, you make the decision. You are the Hokage, and matters like this should be decided by you."

The decision was made by you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and has nothing to do with me, Shimura Danzo.

Danzo Shimura didn't want to get involved in this matter. He just came to the meeting as usual. He didn't raise any opinions, neither agreed nor disagreed.

"Danzo, don't forget that you are the Hokage's assistant!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded him seriously, how could he not see what Shimura Danzo was thinking, he would definitely not take the blame alone!

We have to carry it together!

The children in the Sealing Class are all growing up. Even if Mito-sama's power over Kyuubi-sama will weaken, those children will become excellent Sealing Ninjas when they graduate from the Ninja School. With their assistance, Kyuubi will not be able to lose control and run away.

However, Lord Mito was determined to build the spiral tower, and he was helpless because Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En did not agree with them.

Volume 157: Chapter Orochimaru's Practical Lesson

"So, today we're going to have a practical class."

On the playground of the Ninja School, Orochimaru looked at the students of the Sealing Class in front of him, bit his fingers, and quickly formed seals with his hands, completing the seals in an instant.

"Psychic art!"

boom--!

A huge figure appeared in the smoke.

This is Lord Orochimaru's summoning beast!

The children opened their eyes wide and looked nervously at the figure with its neck raised high in the smoke.

When the smoke cleared, a huge snake with brown patterns on its body appeared before their eyes.

"Wow!"

The children exclaimed in surprise at the huge snake.

"so big!"

"Such a huge snake! Are we really okay?"

"Idiot, this is Orochimaru's summoning beast! It's going to be fine!"

The children talked about it a lot, and after their initial fear, they became eager to try it.

The giant snake summoned by Orochimaru's sister is so cool! Unlike her sister, the one that summoned a slimy slug is not so cool.

Rope Tree looked at the giant snake summoned by Orochimaru with shining eyes, and when he thought of his sister's summoned beast, he frowned with visible disgust.

Different from before...

Uchiha Hikaru looked at the big snake which was obviously very afraid of Orochimaru. Unlike the fat blue snake, it was not as big as the blue snake and seemed to be not as strong as the blue snake.

Snapped--!

Orochimaru clapped his hands, and the big snake beside him trembled a little, coiled up obediently and didn't dare to move.

When it was in the giant snake's nest, it saw how the human next to it defeated all the giant snakes in the nest. Even the most powerful Wanshe and Xinya were subdued by her. It would be better for a small fry like it to cooperate honestly.

The children quieted down and looked towards Orochimaru.

"Okay, this is your practical goal. Use the sealing technique I taught you before to try to seal its movements. Don't worry about it hurting you, it will only break free from the sealing technique you cast."

Orochimaru patted the body of the snake beside him and scanned the faces of each child. "Then, we will practice in teams of three. Before that, I want to remind you that the Three-Phase Seal is composed of three chakra changes, two of which must be restrained."

The Three-Phase Seal is a sealing technique developed by Orochimaru with reference to the Four-Phase Seal, incorporating chakra nature changes and attribute restraint.

The sealing effect is far inferior to the Four Symbols Seal, but it is easier to learn. When three students in the sealing class work together to perform it, the difficulty is even lower.

The sealing technique that was originally of A-level difficulty now has C-level difficulty, or C-difficulty if broken down further.

The students quickly formed teams and tried to use the Three-Phase Seal to seal the big snake. There were many problems and explosions were heard from time to time.

Students from other classes in the Ninja School crowded in front of the windows, watching the Sealing Class taking practical lessons on the playground. They had long known that there was a special class in the school that specialized in teaching sealing techniques and cultivating sealed ninjas.

"Hey, come back to class."

The head teachers of each class felt very helpless when they saw that their students were more interested in the practical class of the Sealing Class on the playground. If they did not have to teach the students, they would have gone to watch the practical class of the Sealing Class as well.

How could a sealing technique explode? Shouldn't you form a blasting squad?

Orochimaru raised his hand to support his forehead. She couldn't understand why the three-phase seal would explode when it failed. Could it be that they were gifted?

Fortunately, they were successful, but it was a pity for the big snake that served as the children's practice target.

After the practical class, Orochimaru felt a little embarrassed to let it go back to Ryuchi Cave like that, so he fed it a few ration pills and a regeneration pill as a reward before sending it back to Ryuchi Cave.

"Orochimaru, that's a good practical lesson!"

Uzumaki Mito walked up to Orochimaru with a smile on his face.

"Please don't laugh at me. I still haven't figured out why the explosion occurred when the sealing technique failed."

Orochimaru touched his chin, thinking about why the Three-Phase Seal failed and exploded. As the developer of the Three-Phase Seal, she didn't know that this situation would occur.

"Perhaps the explosion was caused by the collision of chakras of different natures when the sealing technique failed?"

Uzumaki Mito expressed his opinion.

"Indeed, the Three-Phase Seal is a sealing technique that incorporates chakra nature changes and attribute restraints. I forgot about this."

Orochimaru suddenly realized that she had never thought about it in this way before. When she was developing the Three-Phase Seal, with her mastery of the changes in the nature of chakra, there would be no explosion even if she failed. This led to her not thinking about it at all.

Those children who are still attending the ninja school are not proficient in the control of chakra nature changes. If she had not taught them the three-phase seal, they might not be able to access chakra nature changes even if they became Genin.

If she hadn't developed the Three-Phase Seal, she would have noticed this. It was precisely because she developed the Three-Phase Seal that she subconsciously ignored this.

"grandmother!"

Nawaki ran to Uzumaki Mito's side and said longingly: "When I go to ninja school, I will also take classes in the sealing class!"

"Shengshu, you are more suitable for attending a regular class."

Uzumaki Mito doesn't want Nawaki to become a sealed ninja. Although she does have the idea of training Nawaki to learn sealing techniques, she hopes that Nawaki can develop in an all-round way.

As for Tsunade, she had given up on her long ago.

"Why? I want to take Orochimaru's class too!"

Nawaki thinks that Orochimaru's class is very interesting. If he also attends the Sealing Class, he can take Orochimaru's class.

Uzumaki Mito had long seen through Nawaki's little thoughts, and bent down to whisper in his ear.

I heard everything, okay...

Thank you so much for adding another job to my busy life.

Orochimaru heard what Grandma Mito said to Nawaki, and saw Nawaki's eyes getting brighter and brighter, and looked at them helplessly.

She didn't want to become a guiding jonin. It was too troublesome to guide disciples. If she didn't do well, the students might hold a grudge against her.

Here we have to mention a certain Uchiha Obito who has not yet been born.

It’s not impossible to take some time to teach Shengshu.

Orochimaru quite likes the child Nawaki, especially his smile, which is exactly the same as Tsunade's, that kind of silly smile.

"Orochimaru, do you still have classes?"

Uchiha Hikaru, who had been standing under the tree throughout the practical class, came to Orochimaru and held her hand.

"No, I just come to the Sealing Class occasionally. The homeroom teacher is Granny Mito!"

Orochimaru smiled slightly and said that if she were asked to teach the students of the Sealing Class every day, she really couldn't stand it.

She has too many things to do and it is impossible for her to spend too much time on her students.

"Sister Orochimaru, when I go to ninja school in the future, you must teach me ninjutsu when you have time! Grandma said you know many, many ninjutsu! I also want to be a great ninja like Sister Orochimaru!"

Nawaki looked at Orochimaru with sparkling eyes.

"Well... it's not impossible."

As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, and Orochimaru still enjoys the flattery from Nawaki.

"Great!"

Rope Tree raised his hands and cheered.

"Orochimaru, come here for a moment, I need to tell you something."

After much thought, Uzumaki Mito felt that it was necessary to tell Orochimaru about the Spiral Tower to avoid her misunderstanding.

"Why? The construction of the spiral tower is unnecessary! You don't need to enhance the seal's effectiveness in that way yet."

There was a hint of anger on Orochimaru's face, and he tried to lower his voice so that Rope Tree over there wouldn't hear it.

"Orochimaru, I can feel my body growing weaker and weaker, and my ability to suppress the Nine-Tails will become less and less effective. One day, I will have to leave the mansion where I have lived for many years and move into the Spiral Tower."

Orochimaru's reaction was within Mito Uzumaki's expectations. He smiled gently and said, "I am not young anymore. One day I will leave this world and go to another world to meet Hashirama. I don't want to bring destruction to the village that Hashirama loves when I am old."

Orochimaru couldn't say what he wanted to say. She had a way to prolong Mito's life, but Mito's words were already rejecting her.

"I understand. I won't blame Sarutobi-sensei and the others."

Orochimaru knew very well that he could have kept Mito-chan from telling her, but he told her now just to prevent her from blaming Sarutobi and the others.

And she really couldn't blame them for this.

"You are too smart, but too stupid in some ways."

Uzumaki Mito was not surprised that Orochimaru could see through her intentions, but she was worried about her emotional dullness, and what made her even more worried was her granddaughter.

You said you knew you liked Orochimaru, so why don't you be more proactive!

You are not even as good as Xiao Mio!

Uzumaki Mito's anger grew when he thought of Tsunade.

Did I say something wrong again?

Orochimaru felt the anger of Grandma Mito and silently took a few steps back.

There's no point in me opposing the spiral tower!

Why are you angry?

At the gate of the Ninja School, Uchiha Guang looked at the swing that Nawaki had played on before.

"Do you want to play on the swings?"

"No...Is it okay?"

Uchiha Hikaru subconsciously wanted to deny it, but facing Orochimaru's golden eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he truthfully expressed his true thoughts.

"of course can."

Orochimaru walked over holding Uchiha Hikaru's hand.

Uchiha Hikaru sat on the swing, and Orochimaru pushed him from behind.

The swing swung higher and higher, his black hair fluttered in the wind, and Uchiha Guang laughed happily.

"Orochimaru...sister?"

On the way home, Orochimaru felt Uchiha Hikaru pulling at the corner of her clothes. When he heard her calling him, he looked at Uchiha Hikaru in surprise.
