Hokage women's clothing fools Madara, Hashirama won't let me go

Orochimaru stood alone at the door of the underground palace.

The umbrella originally placed under the eaves changed its most suitable placement at some point, and all the rainwater from the umbrella tip flowed into the ground along the cracks in the wooden floor.

rustle……

It is different from the sound of wind blowing leaves in the ears.

It was a strange, continuous sound.

Like something fighting against raindrops in the dark.

Orochimaru stood quietly for a while.

Recalling what Yan Bai said to him just now, this time Yan Bai did not hand over his and Madara's body tissues to Orochimaru, but said some strange words.

Yan Bai told Orochimaru that by studying his and Madara's cells, there would be no clues to "immortality", and the direction was wrong from the beginning.

God’s genes are untouchable by humans.

Not for moral reasons such as mystery or offense, but because it doesn't do much good for Orochimaru now.

Yan Bai said that there are many sealed fragments in human genes, but gods do not have them. Gods can be directly immune, while ordinary humans rely on seals for immunity.

Yan Bai also cited some "bans" on certain gene fragments as examples.

Orochimaru can probably understand what Yan Bai means.

Yan Bai did not object to Orochimaru's research on immortality, but he just felt that his current research direction was taking a detour.

Therefore, Yan Bai told Orochimaru that the opportunity for him to study immortality was on the road to Konoha from here. Whether he could seize the opportunity depended on Orochimaru himself.

Orochimaru has often encountered this kind of Riddler-like guidance before.

Yan Bai gave guidance for the first time and guidance for the second time, because Orochimaru was still very rebellious at that time and insisted on doing the opposite, and then suffered a severe beating from the world.

After being severely beaten, Orochimaru became obedient.

It is the same today.

Continuous sounds reached my ears from the nearby darkness.

This may be the opportunity for what Yan Bai said.

Orochimaru saw strange little figures in the rain curtain, rising and falling on the wet grass like ocean waves, surging like waves.

Watch the waves of those blades of grass.

Orochimaru thought.

Is this...a mouse?

The "tide" was used continuously. Even in the wind and rain, Orochimaru felt that his clothes were extremely cold. His whole body seemed to be immersed in sea water, and his body was like ice.

Sure enough...it's a mouse, right?

Orochimaru thought this again.

Not long after, one after another, the big rats that had been soaked in the rain cautiously came to the eaves and looked up at Orochimaru.

Their bodies were like little kittens, standing on two legs like a human being, and there was no evil look in their green eyes. The leader of the mice guided Orochimaru with gestures.

"Good evening, please come with us..."

That is the sign language of the world of pupil arts.

Orochimaru had never seen anyone use such body language in this world.

There is no doubt that this was taught by Yan Bai, right?

Orochimaru did not hesitate and whispered: "Please lead the way."

The snake pill calmly picked up the umbrella, and under the guidance of the sneaky mouse, escaped into the thicker darkness.

Following the rats, Orochimaru became more and more familiar with the path here.

This is the palace of the old guy named Ying Mo who had a great time with him.

There is a cave beneath the roots of the giant tree.

Yan Bai used bones containing metal to integrate an underground market.

This... is the kingdom of mice, and the master of this realm is Ying Mo.

Orochimaru probably understood that the leader of "eternal life" that Yan Bai told him was Ying Mo.

It is said that Ying Mo is very old. In the past few years, she can hardly move and rarely appears in front of people.

Orochimaru thought it was dead.

After all, Ying Mo also followed Yan Bai and gave away countless pets.

This Ying Mo is a mouse with extremely tenacious vitality, and its desire to survive is extraordinary.

The kingdom of mice is now silent.

Orochimaru listened to the sound of rain outside through the vent.

Because there was no daylight, everything could only be judged by intuition, and Orochimaru's mood became increasingly heavy.

Finally, deep in the city protected by tree roots, Orochimaru was led by the rats to a huge palace.

There is a lot of space here, and even if humans live here, it will not make people feel that the space is small.

Orochimaru couldn't understand why a bunch of rats wanted to live in such a big space.

But now...he seems to understand something.

In the center of the empty space, there was a young humanoid figure, with his back to Orochimaru, his small body sitting upright on his knees.

Orochimaru was filled with surprise and doubt.

This is... a human child?

These rats actually brought him to meet a child?

The child's back was to Orochimaru, and in front of him was a low table. He was slender and wore well-cut robes. The ordinary style showed a luxurious temperament, and he looked very upright. And elegant.

His little back rose and fell due to the rhythm of his breathing.

The kid's condition didn't look normal at all.

At an age that should be active and naughty, he can actually sit there quietly, picking up the tea cup and putting it down from time to time.

Orochimaru couldn't see the child's face at all, the situation was unknown, and he didn't know what to do.

But the mice that led the way had carefully retreated.

Orochimaru murmured in confusion: "Excuse me..."

Just as Orochimaru spoke, the child in front of him suddenly turned his head. His eyes were strange, giving Orochimaru a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

The corners of the child's lips raised slightly, and he said in a childish voice: "Orochimaru, it turns out you have such a polite side. Has that naughty child grown up?"

The combination of the childish voice and the old-fashioned tone didn't make people feel inconsistent, but instead made them feel cute.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, "Have we... met?"

"Hey hee hee hee..."

The child let out a weird laugh, turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to Orochimaru, "Please sit down."

Orochimaru took a deep breath, and what he thought of was the "eternal life" that Yan Bai said. Could it be that he and this "child" are immortal?

Orochimaru closed his eyes. Finally, he decided to follow Yan Bai's guidance. He walked to the opposite side of the little boy and sat down.

Staring at this child at close range, Orochimaru felt awkward.

Can't tell what's wrong.

Orochimaru subconsciously thought that he must know this child, because his expression and eyes were very familiar, and they all... resembled Sakura Mo.

Orochimaru blinked, "Sakura Mo?"

The child's cute face smiled innocently, "What? I thought you would guess for a long time, it's really disappointing."

Orochimaru looked shocked, "How did you become a human?"
