Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"That's right. Because that technique consumes too much chakra, the accumulated fatigue of the shadow clone will be very terrifying. People without a huge amount of chakra and strong endurance can easily hurt themselves and endanger their lives. This is why that technique is listed as a forbidden technique."

"Therefore, the Shadow Clone Technique cannot be used indiscriminately. Do you understand?"

Orochimaru made a summary and also explained why he gave a long speech to make Uchiha Hikaru understand the disadvantages of Shadow Clones.

But not everyone is as careless as Uzumaki Naruto, who uses the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique as an ordinary ninjutsu. When encountering the enemy, he has no idea how to use the human wave tactics, which is a pure waste of chakra.

If he hadn't unleashed the Nine-Tails' chakra in crucial battles, he would have died countless times.

"I know, I'll pay attention!"

How could Uchiha Hikaru not realize that it was Orochimaru who cared about him, and he hugged her with great emotion.

This kid...

Aren't you too easily moved?

Orochimaru was just stating what he thought needed to be explained clearly, and he placed his hand on Uchiha Hikaru's back and patted him gently.

Oh, I'm really worried that this child will be deceived by sweet words in the future.

After Orochimaru left, Uchiha Hikaru picked up a book and started reading.

laboratory

Hinata Mio looked at Orochimaru preparing for Uchiha Hikaru's treatment, and thinking of the frightening number of books and scrolls, she couldn't help but ask, "Orochimaru, do you really need to read so many books and scrolls to learn sealing techniques?"

"Mio, the more knowledge you accumulate, the more effective the sealing technique will be. Once Xiaoguang has enough theoretical knowledge, I will formally teach her the sealing technique."

Orochimaru believed that it was very necessary to show Uchiha Hikaru those books and scrolls. Only by laying a solid foundation could he learn and master the sealing techniques she taught.

There is no point in learning the sealing technique in a formulaic way!

Why do I feel sorry for Xiaoguang but also a little envious of her?

Hinata Mio felt a little complicated when she saw Orochimaru being so serious.

PS:

Two more chapters today...

I heard about Fat Bread in the group. Many years ago, I followed his works "The Demon King Priest" and "The Brave Girl". I haven't paid attention to him for a long time. I didn't expect to hear news about him again in this way.

Volume 159: Chapter 4 (K) Quarrel

In a room in the laboratory, Uchiha Hikaru was naked and immersed in a culture tank. A sealing technique emitting bright red light covered her entire body. Dead cells were constantly discharged from her body, and soon many dead cells like dirt appeared in the culture tank.

Orochimaru's treatment plan for Uchiha Hikaru is very simple, which is to use regeneration techniques to make intact cells continue to divide in order to replace the damaged parts of the body. This process will be relatively long and may last for several years.

During this period, we also need to pay attention to Uchiha Hikaru's physical growth.

If the replacement is completed at one time, Orochimaru is worried that Uchiha Hikaru will not be able to bear it. On the other hand, she is worried that Uchiha Hikaru's body will remain in the appearance of a 12-year-old.

Even Uchiha Guang could accept such serious sequelae, but she couldn't.

The existence of such sequelae means that her treatment of Uchiha Hikaru was a failure.

This was something Orochimaru could not accept. She could calmly accept her failure in the experiment, but she could not accept failure when she had relatively mature technology and used it for treatment.

"Orochimaru, the treatment went well."

The blue veins around Hinata Mio's eyes gradually faded, she was breathing slightly, and her flushed face was covered with sweat. Using her Byakugan to observe intently for a long time was a huge drain on her, not only in terms of chakra but also in terms of her mind.

"Mio, thank you for your hard work."

Orochimaru looked at the sweat on Hinata Mio's face and realized that the treatment had lasted a little too long. A handkerchief fell into her hands from his wide sleeves, and he wanted to wipe the sweat off her face.

"Orochimaru, it's time to wake up Hikaru."

Hinata Mio held Orochimaru's wrist, and a gentle smile appeared on her tired face. She was worried that if Orochimaru wiped the sweat off her face, she would lose control and do something.

Who can remain indifferent when the person they love wipes the sweat off their face?

Why do I feel like... there's something wrong with the way Mio looks at Lord Orochimaru?

Yim suddenly discovered something.

"That's right. Then, just wipe it yourself."

Orochimaru placed the handkerchief in Hinata Mio's hand.

Hinata Mio looked at the handkerchief in her hand, but instead of using it to wipe the sweat, she put it away silently.

A moment later, Uchiha Guang woke up from the incubator and noticed the changes in her body. She felt much more relaxed, as if there were very heavy shackles on her body before. The strange thing was that she had never had that feeling before.

"Imu, open the culture tank."

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Hikaru who had woken up in the incubator.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Yim operated the instrument to extract the culture medium and opened the culture tank.

So light...

Uchiha Hikaru took a step forward and found that her body was very light, and the distance she took that step was beyond her imagination.

Orochimaru raised his hand, and the white snake that emerged from his sleeve wrapped around Uchiha Hikaru's body. He gently put her down and said with a hint of blame in his tone, "Be careful!"

"The treatment is so effective...ah!"

When Uchiha Guang felt the touch of the cold white snake wrapped around his body, he realized that he was not wearing any clothes. He exclaimed, his little face flushed red, and he lowered his head.

“This treatment went very smoothly.”

Orochimaru put a towel on Uchiha Hikaru, patted her shoulder and said, "Go take a shower."

"Um……"

Uchiha Guang responded in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, rushed to the bathroom at a rapid speed, and closed the bathroom door with a slam.

After Uchiha Guang finished taking a shower, he checked her body again.

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Hikaru's physical data and was very satisfied. Judging from Uchiha Hikaru's current physical condition, treatment once a month would be enough.

In the bathroom, Uchiha Guang's little face was flushed as she stood under the shower. When she thought of the scene just now, she felt her face was so hot and her whole body was hot.

Why am I like this...

My heart is beating so fast, it's hard to breathe...

Uchiha Guang covered his heart with both hands, not understanding what was happening to him.

At night, dim street lights illuminate the streets.

Senju Mansion

"Grandma, what are you talking about?! Why did you move to that kind of place? Isn't it better to just live at home?"

Tsunade crushed the dice in her hand and looked at Uzumaki Mito with confusion on her face.

"It's already been decided at this point."

When Uzumaki Mito saw Tsunade's reaction, she knew that she had done the right thing by telling her about this matter in advance. If she had waited until the time to move in, with her personality, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause, maybe even tearing down the Hokage Building.

"Is it because of the Nine-Tailed Fox..."

In recent years, Tsunade has learned a little about the tailed beast sealed in her grandmother's body.

"It's because I want to live closer to Hokage Rock and closer to your grandfather."

Uzumaki Mito did not answer Tsunade, but looked towards the direction of Hokage Rock with memories in her eyes.

"Is that Sarutobi-sensei?"

Tsunade clenched her fists and looked unfriendly, obviously wanting to go find Sarutobi Hiruzen to ask about this matter.

boom--!

Uzumaki Mito hit Tsunade's head with his fist, and said with a hint of anger on his face: "Don't let your imagination run wild. This matter has nothing to do with Sarutobi! I was the one who brought it up!"

"Grandma, sister, what are you arguing about?"

Shengshu was peeking out of the door, not understanding what his sister and grandmother were arguing about.

"nothing!"

Tsunade and Uzumaki Mito's voices rang out simultaneously, causing Nawaki to shrink back in fear.

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

The sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and in an open space not far from the Hokage Building, a spiral tower was being built in full swing.

Everyone who passed by couldn't help but take a look, curious about what was being built here. It should not be an ordinary building if it was so close to the Hokage Building.

Tsunade looked at the workers who were busy building the spiral tower, and then looked at the spiral tower that was taking shape.

That's where grandma will live in the future...

Although Uzumaki Mito did not explain the reason, Tsunade could probably guess a little.

She is no longer the child who knew nothing. She knows a little bit about the tailed beasts, including why the sealing class in the ninja school was established.

Grandma, she...

Tsunade gripped her arms tightly, trying not to think about that.

Tsunade...

Did Grandma Mito tell her?

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade who was standing there uneasily and wanted to walk over but hesitated.

Is it really okay for me to go over there now?

Would Tsunade want me to see this side of her?

Forget it, why think so much? No matter what, it's better than letting her stand there alone.

Orochimaru decided not to think too much about it, walked over, and said as if they met by chance: "Tsunade, what are you doing here?"

"Orochimaru, this is built..."

Tsunade heard the familiar voice, turned to look at Orochimaru who was walking towards her, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"The spiral tower built here is where Grandma Mito will live in the future."

Orochimaru stood beside Tsunade and watched the busy construction workers.

"Grandma, why does she have to live in a place like this? Isn't it better to live at home?"

Tsunade lowered her head and bit her lip.

"Because, as Granny Mito ages, her ability to suppress the Nine-Tails will weaken, and she doesn't want to bring destruction to the village that your grandfather, Hashirama Senju, loves... If Granny Mito can't suppress the Nine-Tails and lets it escape, it will be a disaster for the village."

Orochimaru looked towards the Hokage Rock, his eyes landing on the portrait of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, "Mother-in-law Mito loves the village, just like your grandfather, Senju Hashirama."

But this love is not pure love for the village. She loves Konoha, which is loved by Hashirama Senju.

In other words, the village that Hashirama Senju loves is the one she loves, and it doesn’t matter to her whether that village is Konoha or not.

Tsunade looked at the Hokage Rock in silence for a long time, then she took Orochimaru's hand and said, "Orochimaru, let's go train."

"Rather than practicing, I'd rather go to the casino and play a few rounds today. I wonder if anyone is willing to go with me?"

Orochimaru, looking troubled, held his chin with one hand, glanced at Tsunade who seemed to be a little moved, and sighed again, saying, "There's no other way. I can only go by myself."

"I go with you!"

Tsunade said loudly, and the passers-by around heard it and looked at them.

"It's Lord Orochimaru!"

The people around recognized Orochimaru's identity.

Orochimaru forced a smile on his face, waved to everyone, and took Tsunade away.

Hot spring town

It was almost noon when Orochimaru and Tsunade walked out of the casino carrying suitcases. What could be heard from the casino was the gamblers' heartbroken wails, which showed how badly they had lost!

Tsunade, whose depressed mood was relieved, could not help but realize that Orochimaru suggested going to the casino for her.

"Orochimaru, thank you..."

Tsunade held Orochimaru's hand. She knew very well that the decision made by her grandmother was not something she could change. What else could she do except accept it?
