Orochimaru Talks, Naruto's Parentage
"It's nice to see you again, Tsunade."
Orochimaru greeted him with great embarrassment.
Tsunade's face was stiff; she was clearly still reeling from the shock she had just experienced.
After about several tens of seconds, Tsunade's gaze swept past Orochimaru, then she pointed at the Shinki, her eyes fierce:(▼ヘ▼#)
"Who let you sneak out?!"
"What if something goes wrong?"
"Do you know how dangerous it is to act alone?"
"Three days of confinement at home! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"
Shinki: "..."
He originally thought that by capturing Orochimaru, he would be a great contributor.
Unexpectedly, not only did Tsunade not reward her, but her first words were to tell her to go home and reflect on her actions...
However, just as Shinki was about to ask about the reward, Tsunade spoke up again, turning to Shinki and asking, "By the way, now that you've captured Orochimaru, Sasuke?"
Shinki waved his hand. "Sasuke too fast, I couldn't catch him..."
Tsunade:(ー_ー)!!
Who would believe that!
Even the slippery Orochimaru was brought back bound hand and foot by you!
How could we possibly fail to catch that brat Sasuke?!
You clearly let them win on purpose!
Tsunade her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "Fine, fine, let's go back to confinement..."
Shinki rubbed his hands together, still unwilling to give up, wanting to ask about the reward for capturing Orochimaru: "Master, look..."
However, before Shinki could finish speaking, Tsunade rebuked him.
Let's talk about it in three days!
Shinki looked troubled. "No, Master, look, I'm fine, and I've even made such a great contribution to the village..."
It would have been better if Shinki hadn't brought it up; the mention of it only made Tsunade's face darken further.
"During your confinement, copy the Konoha Ninja Rules!! Keep copying it until you realize your mistakes!! (▼皿▼#)"
Shinki: "..."
Shinki used the Flying Thunder God to return home.
Orochimaru smiled upon seeing this.
(´つヮ⊂︎)
It's so great to see someone as ridiculously strong as Shinki get thrashed!
Tsunade immediately pointed at Orochimaru: "What are you laughing at, you missing-nin?!"
With that, Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Guards! Immediately throw Orochimaru into Konoha's Heavenly-level prison. I'll interrogate him in a couple of days!"
"If he gets out, none of you will be able to stay in Konoha!"
Orochimaru's smile froze.
The Heavenly Prison was built under the supervision of the Second Hokage; it is heavily fortified and its defenses are impenetrable.
Even a mosquito trying to fly in would be split in two!
Hiss~
That kid Shinki really screwed me over!!
At the Hokage's command, the Anbu immediately sent men to take Orochimaru away.
A few more minutes passed.
The door to the Hokage's Office was flung open!
The door slammed against the wall with a loud "bang!"
Tsunade looked up, her sharp gaze fixed on Kakashi...
Kakashi at this moment: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Kakashi's Tsunade: (◣д◢)
The Lord Hokage looks so fierce today!!
Knowing that Shinki's unauthorized actions were of great importance, Kakashi reluctantly reported, "Lord Hokage, that kid Shinki went to Orochimaru's base alone using the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he hasn't returned yet..."
Tsunade on the Hokage's Desk with a "bang!"
He stood up abruptly.
"Kakashi, how do you manage your subordinates as a captain?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"
"Shinki left last night, and you're only reporting this to me now!"
"You're going home and locked up for three days! You're also punished with copying 10,000 copies of the 'Ninja Team Leader's Manual'!"
Kakashi looked troubled.
He knew the Shinki was important to Konoha, and that his failure to manage his subordinates properly warranted punishment.
But if I'm confined for three days, what am I going to do about this mission...?
Kakashi then pleaded, "Lord Hokage, please allow me to complete the mission and return before I am punished... The whereabouts of the Shinki are currently unknown, and I am extremely worried..."
By this time, Tsunade had calmed down from her anger and waved her hand, saying, "No need, that kid Shinki is back."
Kakashi: "Why didn't that brat tell me he was coming back?!" ('⌒´メ)
"Should we still go on the mission to the Tenchi Bridge? Opportunities to gather information about Orochimaru are rare..."
Tsunade her forehead. "Shinki has brought Orochimaru back..."
Kakashi:!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
What?! You brought it back?!
He went to great lengths just to find out Orochimaru's latest movements.
That kid Shinki spent half the night personally capturing Orochimaru?!
It seems there's really no need to carry out the Tenchi Bridge mission!
Kakashi smiled with relief, "In that case, I'll go home and lock myself in for confinement..."
The thought of not having any missions for three days even made Kakashi a little happy...
I've been on missions these past few days, and I haven't even had a chance to read the sequel to the book "Icha Icha Paradise" that Shinki gave me.
I'm taking advantage of these few days of lockdown to really have some fun... (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)
Afterwards, Naruto suffered the same fate, being punished by Tsunade for concealing the truth and sent home for solitary confinement along with Shinki...
Three days later in the blink of an eye.
Tsunade has decided to interrogate Orochimaru today.
Inside the interrogation room.
Tsunade and the Third Hokage sat at their desks.
Behind him, a line of interrogating Ninjas stood in formation.
At the very edge, Naruto and Shinki, out of curiosity, volunteered to come and watch...
Seeing the large entourage from Konoha interrogating him, Orochimaru seemed amused and grinned.
"I'm just an ordinary researcher, there's really no need for such a fuss..." Orochimaru said.
"Look at all the evil you've done over the years... How dare you call yourself a researcher?"
"I really want to execute you, you evil bastard, as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage's eyes widened in anger.
He regrets letting Orochimaru go back then.
If I had killed Orochimaru immediately back then, none of this would have happened, and so many innocent people wouldn't have died...
"Teacher Sarutobi, decades ago you couldn't bring yourself to kill me, but now that you're older, you've become ruthless?" Orochimaru said smugly.
Orochimaru continued, "Teacher Sarutobi, you've made far too many mistakes in your life."
"You shouldn't have let me go, and you shouldn't have tolerated Danzo..."
"Actually, I think you shouldn't have made the Fourth Hokage."
"You old man, you were already senile back then!"
"If you had chosen me as Hokage back then, perhaps the Nine-Tails' Attack wouldn't have happened..."
"Oh, right."
Orochimaru seemed to remember something and turned to look at Naruto: "Naruto, you don't know that the Fourth Hokage is actually your father, do you?"
Naruto: "What?! (꒪⌓꒪)"
Orochimaru smiled and explained, "Your father and mother were both heroes. They died at the hands of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox while trying to save this decaying village..."
Tsunade immediately noticed signs of Chakra surging from Naruto nearby and quickly shouted, "Orochimaru! Shut up!!"
