Chapter 66 Kushina's Test
"Orochimaru, you are so willing to give away the Kusanagi sword you got last time in the Land of Grass."
Even Tsunade, who was born into a noble family, knew that such magical weapons were rare to find.
Orochimaru on the side did not give up at all, but said with a hoarse laugh: "This Kusanagi sword is not suitable for me, and in comparison, the power of the curse seal is far better than this Kusanagi sword for me. sword."
Orochimaru said it unabashedly. It can be said that his character is very eccentric, and it is because Tsunade is familiar with him, otherwise most people would really not be able to bear it.
Are you giving away the ones you don’t need? There is no need to say it directly.
But this is Orochimaru.
This can be regarded as a transaction, an exchange of cursed power. After all, Orochimaru is still in Konoha, and Uchiha Ye still has a family behind him, so some rules that should be followed must be followed.
"Yejun, apart from the power of the curse seal, your creativity in ninjutsu is simply a genius. I welcome closer communication with me in the future."
Today, Orochimaru has no interest in Tsunade. In the luxurious research room of the Senju clan, his eyes are almost always on Uchiha Ye.
After hearing this, Uchiha Ye smiled and nodded:
"No, Orochimaru-sama is a real genius when it comes to ninjutsu creations. I just got lucky for a while."
When Orochimaru was teaching, he also gave Orochimaru no less inspiration for new ninjutsu, such as some future snake ninjutsu concepts.
After all, today's Uncle Snake is far from being unbeatable in the later stage.
"Okay, okay, you two are geniuses."
When Tsunade on the side saw this, she couldn't help but wave her hands angrily. She was usually known as a genius, but she was a little depressed in front of the two of them.
The snake ninjutsu currently used by Orochimaru were all developed by himself. Although they have not developed very powerful ones, they are all very practical.
Not to mention Uchiha Ye, who developed an A-level ninjutsu at the age of thirteen, still without seals.
This left Tsunade speechless for a moment. She seemed to have not developed any ninjutsu so far.
Strange power is the ability of the Senju clan, not ninjutsu. Sakura's strange power was a ninjutsu developed later. (official information)
"Kid, you will be heading to the battlefield as the vanguard in a while. During this time, you should familiarize yourself with the new weapons. Remember to thank Kushina when you have time."
Tsunade sat on the chair casually and lazily, waving her hands and already chasing people away, but her casual words, especially the last sentence, seemed to have deep meaning.
"Thank you Tsunade-san."
Uchiha Ye bowed respectfully and left the research room.
Looking at the departing figure, Orochimaru even laughed hoarsely after hearing this.
"Haha, it seems that the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki does not necessarily have to follow him to the battlefield this time."
Tsunade sneered disdainfully, with a look of disgust and irritation in her eyes.
It was obvious that there was something wrong with this, and she even reminded Uchiha Ye carefully.
But looking at Uchiha Ye's situation, he didn't seem to understand at all.
…
Hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama."
At dusk, Namikaze Minato knelt down on one knee respectfully, his golden hair shining brightly in the dusk dawn.
"Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the Hokage's office, first exhaled a puff of smoke melancholy, then said this classic quote, and then showed a hint of heaviness.
"Minato, you are not only Jiraiya's disciple, but also the heir to the Will of Fire that I am optimistic about. I think you should clearly understand the significance of this mission to the village!" Minato Namikaze was kneeling in the office. , looking at the content of the green information scroll in his palm, especially the photo of the red-haired person above, his eyes showed determination.
"I believe Uzumaki Kushina will not disappoint Hokage-sama."
Looking at Namikaze Minato's determined look, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen even smiled.
"Okay, Mr. Minato also believes in you and Kushina, but he has to do this for the sake of the village."
"This test is scheduled for three days, so be prepared."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Minato Namikaze nodded firmly and disappeared into the Hokage's office the next moment.
The dawn of the setting sun shone in the office. The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, took a deep drag on his cigarette. He frowned for a long time before spitting it out.
…
As night falls, the Thousand Hands clan in Nuo Da is extremely deserted.
Located in the center, the second floor of the house that once housed the First Hokage was filled with dim light.
"Grandma, will the test be in three days?"
Tsunade's eyes were a little complicated when she came back, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.
Mito Uzumaki, who was sitting on the sofa with a kind face, also had a tired look on his brows.
"Tsunade, you have to understand clearly that maybe the Third Generation and the others have selfish motives, but this time it is really for the village. Konoha today cannot afford such a loss. It is normal to take some necessary measures if you have concerns."
However, it was better not to say this. As soon as she said this, Tsunade showed a cold and sarcastic smile.
"Is it normal? Is the thing about the rope tree normal? And is the thing about Kato Dan normal? It was just such a coincidence that the detonating charm trap? And it happened that Kato Dan's sister also died?"
"It's really a coincidence. One thing and two things are the same. Even my sister died a year ago. It really started to be a coincidence early on."
Under Tsunade's weird sneer, this series of things put her on high alert. This was because she didn't dare to say that there was something fishy about being in danger in the Land of Grass.
Even when facing her grandmother, Tsunade was filled with guilt. Her grandmother was already this old and she still had to worry about them.
Now she can finally understand Uchiha Ye's heart. In order to protect important people and the village, she would rather sacrifice herself to bury some truths.
She even suspected that this kid had something else hidden!
When the Uchiha night was recalled in his mind, Tsunade couldn't help but fell silent. At some point, this childish and sunny smile began to be introverted and difficult to understand.
The pressure he has to face is several times more than hers!
"Tsunade!"
Seeing Tsunade's dissatisfied mood, Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but frown.
"It is right for ninjas to pursue power, but during this time I found that you are a little too obsessed with power! Don't lose your true heart in the pursuit of power."
During this period, Tsunade not only became diligent in her training, she even began to study various sealing techniques and ninjutsu within the clan, which was obviously different from before.
Seeing her grandma's worries, Tsunade couldn't help but smile freely, "Grandma, I just want to protect Kushina and you."
At this moment, Tsunade pretended to have a free and sunny smile, but what she was thinking about was Uchiha Ye. At this moment, she could finally understand how this rare person felt when he was facing others, and how he felt when he pretended to be relaxed when facing her.
Because she began to pursue power under pressure, this is also the reason why Tsunade developed the curse seal potion through Uchiha Ye's blood inheritance.
Mito Uzumaki took a deep look at her granddaughter. She knew that Tsunade was hiding something from her, but not only was she not dissatisfied, she was actually a little relieved.
She only has a few more years to live, and her granddaughter Tsunade can grow up quickly, which is what she hopes to see most.
At the same time, there is still a lot of self-blame in my heart. If I can live a few more years, maybe Tsunade can be happy for a few more years.
