They notified us immediately.
And Orochimaru...
What is she here for?
What happened?
Several thoughts flashed through Orochimaru's mind as he wondered if something had happened, otherwise, given Tsunade's temperament, she wouldn't have come looking for him.
Okay, I'll ask anyway, so as not to delay the progress.
Although he didn't quite understand, Orochimaru put down his work and prepared to go see him.
"Take him to my office right away, I'll be there shortly!"
……
Sitting in the office.
Tsunade was extremely bored and idly played with the apple on the table.
At this moment, Orochimaru pushed open the door and entered. He was speechless when he saw this scene. Are fruits fun?
However, he didn't bother with such details and immediately asked, "Tsunade, what brings you here?"
Let's get straight to the point and skip the fluff. Orochimaru is too busy to waste time; research is very important.
"Can't I look for someone if there's nothing wrong?"
Tsunade put down the apple in her hand, turned to look at Orochimaru, and asked him a question.
Orochimaru scoffed at this, saying, "What kind of '5.5' style do you have? Do you think I don't know? You like gambling and drinking, and you hide in Hakubaki's house all day..."
There's so much gossip going on, let's see if you've made any changes.
If Tsunade doesn't like doing something, who can force her to?
Since you've come to see me, you must have something to say.
If there's nothing wrong, you definitely won't contact me.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
"I'm very busy."
Orochimaru sat down, signaling Tsunade to explain as soon as possible, emphasizing that his time was precious and he was extremely busy with work.
"Orochimaru, I've noticed you've changed quite a bit. You shouldn't be like this; you've become a research maniac..."
Tsunade looked Orochimaru up and down and found that his face was very pale. Although he was naturally pale, it was now a sickly pale, not like a normal person at all.
However, he didn't seem to be a normal person either, so she added, "Even my second grandfather isn't as crazy as you!"
Chapter 258 I'm here, two things!
"Tsunade, get to the point."
Orochimaru handed Tsunade a cup of tea and said bluntly, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush. This is useless."
"Don't you have any alcohol here?" Tsunade asked, pursing her lips.
Can't you just give me a drink?
Even though I just had a little to drink, I still want to drink more.
“You reek of alcohol, there’s no need for you to drink anymore, and there’s no alcohol here,” Orochimaru said expressionlessly.
Does the research department have alcohol?
You know I don't drink.
Drinking will affect my research. I need to keep my mind clear. This involves Konoha's secrets, so I can't drink. Also, you should get down to business.
For Orochimaru, Tsunade's rambling must mean she had something important to say, otherwise she wouldn't have said those things.
"Let's get down to business. Chief Bai Mu sent you here, which clearly means he wants me to do something. So what does he want me to do? I have daily summary reports on the progress of the experiments, and the relevant documents have been sent to the Hokage Building for that advisor Alice 05 Lizard to review personally. It's impossible for Uchiha Bai Mu not to know. Now that he's sent you here specifically, it seems he needs me to do something."
Orochimaru knew that Tsunade wouldn't normally come to him, so if she did, it must be Bai Mu's doing. Was it about research or something else?
I've already reported on the research; the progress is being reported daily. And that Hokage advisor, Alice Lizard, has the right to inquire. Her knowledge means Bai Mu knows, which is why I sent you…
Not simple!
The more this happened, the more Orochimaru knew that things were serious. However, it wasn't a bad thing that Tsunade had come; otherwise, it wouldn't be Tsunade but that Anbu leader named Esdeath.
"You're quite perceptive; you guessed it right away."
Tsunade leaned back on the sofa, continuing to scrutinize Orochimaru. She noticed that he had changed a lot and wondered if the kid's longevity technique had actually made any progress.
"So what's going on?"
Orochimaru only cares about this.
If you keep talking nonsense, you'll only waste my time.
Tsunade held up two fingers and slowly said, "Actually, it's just two things. The first thing is the Impure World Reincarnation."
"Impure World Reincarnation?" Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Orochimaru frowned slightly. Did Bai Mu's decision to have Tsunade come in person mean that he was going to use this technique?
Although I did report that the Impure World Reincarnation was ready, to say it was truly perfect?
That's still not enough, I just don't have much time.
The main focus of our efforts is not on this.
But since that's the requirement...
Who is being resurrected?
With this thought in mind, Orochimaru continued to ask, "Whom did he send you to resurrect?"
Tsunade provided the answer: "The First Hokage and the Second Hokage."
The previous Hokage?
And since it was Tsunade herself who said it, you have no objections?
Orochimaru gave Tsunade a deep look, thinking that for you to do this, it seems that your relationship with Uchiha Hakubaki is indeed very special.
"Tsunade, are you sure you're right? And you agreed to it?"
Am I right?
If you do this, are you still the Tsunade I know?
Tsunade grimaced in displeasure upon hearing this and said through gritted teeth, "Because some issues have arisen, someone has mastered this technique and has already resurrected the Raikage, the Third and Fourth Hokage. It's possible that they might target the Hokage, so to eliminate that possibility, let's resurrect them first."
If it weren't for Black Zetsu, why would she have to do this? Reviving her two grandfathers was still a considerable burden, and she wasn't as optimistic as Bai Mu.
It would be inappropriate to end up having to erase consciousness altogether.
The problem is that not doing it this way is just as bad.
What if Black Zetsu is resurrected...?
That will be even more troublesome.
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation from happening again, it would be better for us to be resurrected. Even if they have objections, we can control them and prevent them from encountering each other on the battlefield in the future, which would only make things more troublesome.
"What about the third generation?"
Orochimaru's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, and his eyes flickered. He really hadn't expected this situation. But were it just the First and Second Hokage?
Konoha still has another Hokage, so the Third Hokage isn't needed.
"No need. If it were to be resurrected, it would only cause trouble, and who knows..." Tsunade refused directly. It would be too awkward if it were to be resurrected, so she simply refused.
"Fine, I can't make the decision anyway." Orochimaru knew perfectly well who the true master of Konoha was now, and that Tsunade, the Hokage, was just a puppet.
"Orochimaru, you'd better not complain, or you'll die," Tsunade warned him.
"Tsunade, I understand reality better than you do, and for me... immortality is the most important thing," Orochimaru said with a smile.
What is the most important?
Immortality is all I care about.
I don't care about anything else.
Since they require me to do this, I will cooperate. As long as they support my research, everything else is negotiable. Besides, Bai Mu doesn't impose any restrictions on himself, so why shouldn't I support him?
"What can you possibly research about immortality?" Tsunade couldn't help but retort upon hearing this. She still didn't believe that Orochimaru could really research immortality.
Anyway, she doesn't believe it, and it's hard for her to believe.
"That's your problem, it has nothing to do with me." Orochimaru didn't care what others said, especially since they were talking about the Impure World Reincarnation right now.
Since that's the case, let's get back to the matter.
"When will I be resurrected? I need time to prepare, and I need to figure out whether the offering is of inferior or superior quality."
Orochimaru wasn't sure why Hakumaki wanted to be resurrected—was it for battle or something else? He needed to find out to determine the strength of the sacrifice.
If it's just for showing off after being resurrected, then high-grade offerings aren't needed; low-grade ones are sufficient. But if it's for combat, then high-grade offerings are required.
As for why Orochimaru thought that Hakumaki's resurrection of the First and Second Hokage with Edo Tensei was a boastful act, it was naturally because of the Uchiha clan...
As someone from the Hokage lineage, how could he not know about the affairs between the Uchiha and Senju clans, especially Tobirama Senju?
Now that the Uchiha clan is in power, the resurrected Second Hokage has appeared, showing off his might...
Yes, that makes perfect sense, absolutely perfect.
"Of course, it's the best of the best."
Tsunade blurted out, "What's the use of inferior goods? Of course, we need the best offerings. Besides, wasn't the White Ninja prepared for this purpose?"
Can't you figure out the answer?
"Alright, I understand your request." After understanding the situation, Orochimaru knew what to do. Anyway, there was definitely no problem. He would make sure everything was arranged properly for them.
However, it will take a few days longer.
"Three days, it will take three days!"
