The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 202 Tsunade's Test

Uchiha clan.

When Tsunade arrived, she was received by Fugaku Uchiha.

Although the Uchiha clan and Konoha had a bad relationship, they still maintained proper etiquette.

Furthermore, Tsunade herself had no conflicts with the Uchiha clan, and the atmosphere between them was relatively harmonious.

After visiting the Uchiha clan's hospital, Tsunade thought that the Uchiha clan was really rich and powerful these days.

It is a complete replica of the scale of the hospital in Konoha.

Even now, many of the rooms that have been built are still empty.

It doesn't matter if there aren't enough medical personnel.

"Nonou's medical ninjutsu is quite good; it's more than enough for most external injuries."

Tsunade casually exchanged pleasantries with Fugaku.

"We have relatively few medical ninjas, so we still need Lady Tsunade's support," Fugaku chimed in.

Tsunade nodded slightly:

"Don't worry, once you've selected the right people, I'll have the elites come for training in the afternoon starting tomorrow."

Then she changed the subject: "Now that we've finished discussing business, let's talk about personal matters."

Where is Orochimaru?

Fugaku's smile vanished, replaced by a businesslike expression.

"Orochimaru is a guest invited by our Uchiha clan. Whether he wants to see Lady Tsunade or not is beyond our control."

Tsunade wasn't angry. If Orochimaru really was a guest invited by the Uchiha clan, then that statement was correct.

However, she didn't think Orochimaru was just a guest.

"Then go and inform him that I want to see him."

At that moment, a voice came from outside:

"...Lady Tsunade is a good friend of Lord Orochimaru, so there's no need to inform her. I'll take her there myself."

With the sound, Chiyo quickly appeared in front of Tsunade.

When Chiyo approached, all the Uchiha clan members, including Fugaku, bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Clan Leader."

He nodded and said, "Fourth Elder, you can go down now. I'll take care of things here."

Fugaku nodded and left with the others.

"Let's go, Lady Tsunade, Orochimaru's laboratory is downstairs."

Chiyo made a gesture of invitation, then walked beside Tsunade and led the way.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and then followed Chiyo.

"Chief Senyou is truly young and promising." Normally, Tsunade wouldn't say this in her capacity.

However, when Chiyo came to her side, Tsunade sensed that Chiyo contained a huge amount of chakra.

This level of chakra is no different from that of a tailed beast.

It seems that Uchiha Chiyo crippled the Raikage's arm entirely through his own strength.

Hearing Tsunade's praise, Chiyo smiled:

"Lady Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is unparalleled in the ninja world, but unfortunately she became depressed and wasted her time after falling ill."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then followed. Since Orochimaru was here, it was quite normal for her hemophobia to be exposed.

As for her depression and wasting her time...

"It seems that Chief Qianyao is quite familiar with my affairs."

Tsunade replied indifferently.

Qian Yao chuckled lightly: "It's alright, just a little regrettable."

As they spoke, Chiyo had already led Tsunade down through several doors.

They arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory.

Tsunade hadn't seen Orochimaru for several years, but in the past, Orochimaru hadn't changed much no matter how long it had been since they last met.

This time when she met Orochimaru, he felt extremely unfamiliar to her.

"Tsunade, it's been a long time."

Orochimaru was focused on the screen in front of him, only glancing at Tsunade out of the corner of his eye, and said casually.

He didn't seem surprised to see Tsunade coming over, and there wasn't even the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Please continue your conversation, I'll go outside."

Knowing that Tsunade had something to say to Orochimaru, Chiyo greeted her and walked outside.

As Tsunade watched Chiyo's figure disappear, she asked Orochimaru, "What are you planning to do staying in the Uchiha clan?"

Orochimaru typed a series of commands in his hand before turning around.

"Then why did you come back?" Orochimaru's voice was playful; he didn't answer but instead asked a question.

Tsunade stared at Orochimaru's face in astonishment and exclaimed, "You...your body!?"

"Oh, you actually saw through my disguise?" Orochimaru's face changed, transforming into a woman's face.

Tsunade stared intently at Orochimaru: "Is this the secret technique you've been researching all this time?"

Although Orochimaru has a woman's face, his voice is that of a man.

"Indeed, life is so fragile. Only a long life can allow me to explore all the truths of this world."

Tsunade's face darkened as she asked, "What forbidden experiments are you going to conduct on the Uchiha?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and washed his face: "A forbidden experiment?"

"Not at all. My experiment this time will benefit the entire ninja world."

Tsunade frowned: "What do you mean?"

Orochimaru walked towards a passageway to the side: "Come with me."

Tsunade followed Orochimaru with a puzzled expression.

After walking through the passageway, a huge culture tank stood in a room.

A child of a few years old was floating inside.

Tsunade's expression changed drastically: "Orochimaru, what is this?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "She is a clone of Chiyo's sister."

Tsunade's anger subsided: "What happened to Chiyo's sister?"

Orochimaru did not answer directly at this moment: "Go ask Qianyao."

Tsunade asked thoughtfully, "What exactly happened back then?"

Orochimaru smiled indifferently:

"Konoha needs the power of Wood Release. Danzo only sought me out for cooperation. He also provided Hashirama Senju's corpse."

"Haven't enough people died for Wood Release already?" Tsunade's face was very grim.

"You can't stop those people's desires."

"Besides, do you think the old man wouldn't know?"

Orochimaru said something that seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Tsunade frowned in thought, seemingly lost in thought.

Then she looked up and asked, "What kind of person is Uchiha Chiyo?"

Orochimaru turned and walked outside: "You should ask him; he's more honest than I am."

Tsunade felt like a mouse trying to pull a turtle when dealing with Orochimaru—completely helpless.

She realized Orochimaru didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she had no choice but to follow him out: "Anko wants to see you."

Orochimaru didn't stop walking: "Just have her come find me."

Tsunade followed Orochimaru out and saw Chiyo waiting for her outside.

"I'll go now."

Orochimaru's words were tantamount to an order to leave.

Chiyo nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Lady Tsunade. Let's talk somewhere else."

Tsunade nodded and followed Chiyo out.

"Orochimaru said that the Senyou clan chief would be more honest than him?"

Qian Yao had a faint smile on his face: "It depends on what it is."

"Why would you clone your sister? There are still many hurdles to overcome in current cloning technology."

Qian Yao's smile vanished.

"Then please come to my house, Lady Tsunade, to discuss this further."

"The answer is there."
