Chapter 86 Rope Tree and Tsunade participating in the battle

Inside the root laboratory.

"Oh, have you finished collecting?"

Looking at the Hyuga woman who respectfully handed him the sealing scroll, this was indeed somewhat beyond Orochimaru's expectations.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is the most I can collect."

Putting away the seal scroll containing the blood sample of the Hyuga branch in Hinata Xia's hand, Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips.

"It's very timely material. It seems that I will give you an appropriate reward."

Orochimaru turned around slowly, and then pulled out the ninjutsu scroll he had prepared from White Snake's mouth.

Carrying the unique mucus in the snake's abdominal cavity, Orochimaru grabbed an ordinary ninjutsu scroll in his hand.

"This is what you need right now."

casually throwing the scroll stained with mucus into Hinata Xia's hands, Orochimaru slowly said: "Knowledge related to sealing techniques."

"Also, the art of spiritual transformation!"

Orochimaru opened his snake-like eyes wide and fumbled out another scroll with the word 'forbidden' from his ninja bag.

"Master this access control technique as soon as possible. I need you to assist me in subsequent experiments."

The flattered Hinata took the 'Spiritual Transformation Technique' from Orochimaru with both hands and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Thank you very much, Orochimaru-sama!"

Two root ninjas stood behind him. Hinata Xia, who was brought to this laboratory by the roots, was silent for a moment, and then took out an ancient scroll from his waist.

"Well, Orochimaru-sama, I think this might be useful to you!"

Handing the scroll containing Hyuga's history to Orochimaru's hand, Hinata waited expectantly for Orochimaru's reply.

"Fairy tale?"

With doubts, Orochimaru opened this scroll that looked a bit dated.

The myths of Otsutsuki, Hinata on the Moon, and the Sage of Six Paths are recorded above. It seems to be just a fantasy that after the great ninja became famous, they found a suitable ancestor for themselves and wanted to move closer to the legend.

"Common ancestor?"

After a while, Orochimaru suddenly discovered a strange thing, which was the 'Hyuuga-Senju Cell Fusion Experiment' he had conducted some time ago.

After the fusion of Hinata and Senju cells, Orochimaru's weird and violent transformation was naturally unforgettable.

"If this is the case, it can be completely explained!"

Orochimaru's eyes trembled slightly, as excited as if he had discovered the truth about the world.

"Everything originated from the Six Paths Immortal, and above the Six Paths Immortal."

"Lord Orochimaru?"

Hinata Xia and the roots beside her looked puzzled, completely confused as to what Orochimaru had discovered.

He noticed his gaffe, but Orochimaru made no attempt to hide it.

"You guys can step back and tell Danzo that you can come and pick up the arm waiting for transplant now."

The two roots looked at each other. This was obviously not within the scope of their work, but they still obeyed Orochimaru's orders regarding matters related to Danzo-sama.

"Yes!"

In an instant, the two roots used the teleportation technique and disappeared immediately.

"Are you interested?" He stared at Hinata Xia with his snake eyes, as if he wanted to see through him, no, Hinata completely, "Conduct blood fusion experiments and... atavism experiments!"

"Atavism?"

"It's really a bit too impatient."

Smiling to himself, Orochimaru turned his attention to the blood sample Hinata Xia brought for him.

"It doesn't matter, we can do research on the bloodline of the separate families first."

"This is also your chance to get rid of the caged bird!"

Hearing the words "get rid of the caged bird", Hinata Natsu's eyes lit up, and his whole person seemed to become energetic.

"But before that, you have to help me get something."

"As long as Lord Orochimaru asks, I will definitely get it for you!"

Facing Hyuga Natsu's respectful tone, Orochimaru just slowly opened the list of the 'Kirgakure battlefield' in his hand and placed it on the page of 'Hyuuga Clan'.

"It's very simple. Kill him quietly on the battlefield and help me get the Byakugan of the clan so that I can conduct the next stage of research." After saying that, Orochimaru had no intention of speaking anymore.

He just touched the prohibition on the seal scroll and slowly placed the blood sample stored in it on the experimental table.

With his eyes full of enthusiasm for scientific research, Orochimaru gave Hinata an expulsion order.

"Lord Orochimaru, I will definitely help you get back the Byakugan of the clan."

Having already learned from Hyuga Hizashi that he would protect an elder in the upcoming war, Hyuga Natsu did not hesitate at all.

In Konoha's izakaya, there was no trace of the imminent war.

There was constant noise and shouting.

And all this came to an abrupt end when a man with a cold aura walked in.

"Lord Orochimaru?!"

The staff of the izakaya looked surprised. Counting Tsunade, there were now two "legendary Sannin" visiting their small izakaya.

With a cold smile, Orochimaru nodded to the staff, and then rushed to the end of the izakaya corridor without looking back.

"Are you drinking alone again, Tsunade?"

The woman with huge breasts had a rosy complexion. Judging from the overlapping wine bottles on the table, she had been drinking here for a long time.

"Orochimaru?"

A trace of disdain showed on Tsunade's face, and she stretched out her fist in a threatening gesture.

"Don't think I don't know what you've been doing with Danzo during this time, get out of here!"

Perhaps because she was thinking about the friendship between her companions for many years or because it was not appropriate to attack in the village, Tsunade had no intention of attacking Orochimaru.

Tsunade was drinking alone, but Orochimaru had no intention of leaving.

"hehe."

Reminiscent of how many wood escape experiments Orochimaru and Danzo conducted on his grandfather's body tissue in private when he left the village.

Thanks to the drunkenness, chakra that was so strong that it exploded around his body in an instant.

"Tsunade-sama and Orochimaru-sama, that's not the case."

Seeing that the conflict was getting worse, the staff of the izakaya hurriedly stepped forward to mediate.

He simply couldn't understand why the three ninjas who had achieved profound military exploits together on the battlefield had such internal strife.

"Get out!"

The wine glass in his hand shattered, and the table was also covered with some faint cracks.

"Tsunade, instead of sulking here, how about you go out with me?"

Under the fluctuation of chakra, the high pony tail tied behind her head spread out, and Tsunade's eyes were covered with a thick layer of murderous intent.

“What else is there to say?”

"You will definitely be interested in the rope tree!"

Upon hearing the word "rope tree", the chakra accumulated around Tsunade's body immediately dissipated, and the unconcealed killing intent in her eyes was replaced by fear and trembling.

"Right at the door, soon."

After saying that, Orochimaru walked towards the door of the izakaya. Tsunade, whose drunkenness was dispelled by chakra, followed Orochimaru doubtfully.

In the alley in front of the izakaya, a young man wearing a black robe with half his face covered by a hood seemed to be waiting for something.

"elder sister?"

Seeing Tsunade, Naoki immediately pulled down his hood, revealing his face covered with the trademark cracks of Tsunade Tensei.

"Is it the reincarnation of dirty soil?"

The familiar voice and appearance completely stunned Tsunade, and now she couldn't believe her eyes.

"This is the result of my research during this period. Can it make you less malicious?"

"Sunagakure cannot lack your power, come and help, for the sake of Nogeki."

Tears flowed involuntarily from Tsunade's amber eyes. With trembling hands, she reached out and touched Naoki's lifeless, cold face.

If I could see the Rope Tree again, it would be good even if I was reincarnated in the dirt.
