Naruto's Endless Pretense

Six days have passed since Shizune made a bet with Sasuke, and Sasuke still seems to be making no progress, all of which is seen by Tsunade.

Tsunade is not surprised either. Medical Ninjutsu is not so easy to learn. It is strange to learn the healing technique in seven days.

But the confident smile on Sasuke's lips made Tsunade feel uncomfortable.He even asked Shizune for a scroll of palm senjutsu. Isn't it possible that this impotent Uchiha really has a way to learn it?Forget it, let Shizune have a headache.

Too lazy to meddle in the juniors' business, Tsunade found a familiar tavern to drink early in the morning.

Soft music, dim lights, and good-tasting spirits can make Tsunade forget about the blood she saw that day and the past.

Except for the person in front of me with sickly white skin.

"Orochimaru, there are no mice or frogs here. What are you doing here, a snake? Just get out of here. I'm in a bad mood."

Tsunade drank lightly, feeling secretly wary.This venomous snake is not easy to mess with. If you don't handle it well, you will be bitten.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Tsunade. Is this your attitude when meeting an old friend?"

"If you have something to say, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

After hearing this, Orochimaru instead of being angry, he laughed sinisterly.

"Tsunade, you are so old. In fact, I came here this time because of this child."

Orochimaru pointed at Kimimaro who was standing behind him.

"This child is the only successor of the Kaguya clan's corpse vein, and he is very good. But he suffers from a blood stain disease that even I can't do anything about, so I have to come to you, Tsunade."

Tsunade sneered.

"I didn't expect that there would be something that would cause you trouble. But this time you have found the wrong person, and I will not help you treat it."

Orochimaru was still not angry, but showed a confident smile.

"Don't refuse in a hurry, Tsunade, everyone has something they can't do, right? Let's make a deal. After all these years, you haven't forgotten the broken rope tree, right?"

"I hold a forbidden technique in my hand that can resurrect them, as long as you are willing."

"If you want to see them, go to the plain to the east at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I will wait for you there."

After speaking, Orochimaru left a shocked Tsunade and led Kimimaro out of the tavern.

"By the way, if possible, bring Uchiha Sasuke with you. I'm also a little interested in his eyes."

Tsunade sat blankly, thoughts flowing in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

the next day.

Shizune got up early. Today was the last day of her bet with Sasuke. She was already thinking about how to use Sasuke's condition.

"Should we let him clean the toilet, or should we let him pay off Tsunade-sama's debt?"

With this thought in mind, Shizune happily completed her daily achievements of cleaning, preparing breakfast, treating Kakashi Maki, and teasing Sasuke, and it was almost nine o'clock before she knew it.

"It's almost time to deliver food to Tsunade-sama."

Because Tsunade often drinks too much and gets up late during the day, Shizune always delivers breakfast alone.

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom boom.

Shizune was a little surprised when there was no response even after knocking on Tsunade's door several times.Normally Tsunade-sama would be awake at this time.

"Tsunade-sama, I'm coming in."

After much hesitation, Shizune took out the spare key and opened the door.However, there was no Tsunade sleeping in front of her, but a neatly made bed.

Realizing that Tsunade had disappeared, Shizune hurried to find Sasuke and Temari who were training in the courtyard.

"What? You said Tsunade disappeared? When did it happen?"

"Just this morning, when I went to deliver food, I found that Tsunade-sama had packed up the room and disappeared."

"Miss Shizune, are you too nervous? Maybe Tsunade-sama went out drinking alone?"

Temari guessed.

"Tsunade-sama used to say hello to me first when she went out."

"I don't think so. With my mother-in-law's carefree personality, she must have planned to tidy up the room. But why do you need to hide even Shizune?"

Sasuke rubbed his chin, thinking in distress.

"I have been practicing in the hotel these days. Is there anything strange happening in the town?"

"Is it something strange?" Shizune frowned and thought for a while.

"If I have to say it, I can only say that there are more snakes in the town. In the past, snakes were almost impossible to see. Just since yesterday, I can always see snakes."

Orochimaru! It must be Orochimaru!

Unexpectedly, I met him.

Sasuke was almost certain that Tsunade's disappearance was related to Orochimaru. This disgusting guy carried snakes everywhere he went, and snakes had become his symbol.

But what does Orochimaru have to do with Tsunade? Aren't his hands still sealed by the third generation old man?

br />

There was no time to think so much, Sasuke immediately set off with Temari and Shizune.Now Tsunade is still suffering from hemophobia, so she is properly fighting against the five scum. Since Jiraiya is not here, he must stop Tsunade before she sees Orochimaru.

To the east of Kuanzhu Street.

Orochimaru and Kimimaro were waiting there early.

"Lord Orochimaru, will that woman come?"

"She will. Tsunade's weakness is that she is too emotional. Dan and Naoki are both people she values ​​​​and she will not give up as long as there is a slight possibility of resurrecting them."

Orochimaru showed a reminiscing look, as if he was remembering the time when he was still in Konoha.

"However, my intuition feels that she will not compromise so simply."

Jun Ma Lu was a little worried.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

While the two were talking, a figure appeared in the distance, it was Tsunade who came out carrying Sasuke and the others.When Orochimaru saw Tsunade appearing, he took the initiative to greet her.

"Tsunade, why are you the only one here? Where's Sasuke-kun? But it doesn't matter. As long as you help Kimimaro heal, I will still resurrect Nasuki and Dan."

"Don't think about Orochimaru, I've already thought about it and I won't help you treat him."

"What, don't you want to see those two people?"

"I want to! I don't want to see them again all the time!"

Tsunade showed a look of recollection and struggle, then her face straightened and her expression became firm.

"But just because I miss them, I can't betray their passion for the village and help people like you."

Orochimaru threw his head back and laughed.

"Tsunade, don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say such things? You and I are both people who left the village, so what's the difference between us?"

Orochimaru spit out the Kusanagi Sword from his mouth, suddenly stretched his neck and charged towards Tsunade.Tsunade's reaction was not slow, she dodged the sword edge and hit back with a strange punch.

Orochimaru, whose body was beaten into a zigzag shape, did not continue to attack. He distanced himself and returned to Kimimaro's side to slowly recover.

"Tsunade, do you think I will come to you without any preparation?"

Tick, tick.

Orochimaru cut his finger and let the blood drip.

"I remember your hemophobia isn't over yet, okay?"

After seeing Tsunade kneeling down helplessly, Orochimaru glanced at Kimimaro.Kimimaro understood, and a sharp bone knife appeared in his palm.

"Woman, don't resist, I won't kill you."

With that said, he swung the bone knife towards Tsunade.However, just when the blade was about to touch Tsunade's skin, a strong stream of water pushed the bone knife a little, and the sharp blade was enough to chop off Tsunade's blond hair.

"Fire Escape - Dragon Fire Art!"

There was no good way to face the fire dragon Kimimaro coming towards him, he could only jump back.Taking advantage of Kimimaro's evasion, Sasuke sprang out from the hidden grass and retreated a distance while carrying Tsunade on his back.

"How did you come."

Tsunade asked weakly, having recovered somewhat.

"When we found out that you were missing, we split up to look for you. I found a lot of traces of snakes crawling on the road, so I walked along for a while. I didn't expect that I happened to see you about to be chopped down."

"Really, Granny Tsunade, what kind of people have you provoked by coming out alone?"

The whole show was being acted, and Sasuke knew what he was asking.

Kimimaro dodged Sasuke's Dragon Fire Technique and wanted to fight, but Orochimaru waved his hand to stop him.

"I am Orochimaru. I used to be one of the Sannin of Konoha like Tsunade."

"Oh, you are Orochimaru. As the name suggests, you are just like a lazy snake."

"How dare you speak to Lord Orochimaru in such a tone!"

The loyal dog Kimimaro was about to pull out the bone and teach Sasuke a lesson.

"It's okay Kimimaro."

Orochimaru reached out to comfort Kimimaro.

"Sasuke-kun, I know you and admire you very much. Your strength is far beyond that of your peers, but it is not enough compared to Itachi."

Sasuke was unmoved.

"You can only know how strong you are by fighting."

In response to Sasuke's speech, Orochimaru laughed. Although he only watched Sasuke and Kimimaro pass two moves, Orochimaru's rich experience has already judged Sasuke's strength.

An elite chuunin, even only one level weaker than a jounin, reaching the level of a special jounin. Considering his age, he can be called a genius even more talented than himself.However, it doesn't matter if the genius has not yet grown up, even if he is a special jounin, he is the cold lord Orochimaru!

"Then, Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke's eyes were blurred when he suddenly discovered that Orochimaru was behind him, and the sharp Kusanagi sword passed through his chest from behind.

"Can your Sharingan see my movements?"
