The Second Hokage Goes to Catch People
And so, the room became even more chaotic...
Although Orochimaru and Jiraiya were a little reserved when they first entered, they relaxed completely after drinking two bottles of horse urine!
They showed everyone what it means to unleash one's true nature!
In the middle of the living room, a group of important figures were gathered together...
Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Izuna Uchiha, Tobirama Senju, Orochimaru, Jiraiya...
Tobirama Senju, holding a bottle of sake, looked at Orochimaru with curiosity...
"Orochimaru! What was wrong with you all this time?! To become Rogue Ninja by conducting human experiments??? What were you thinking? Can you tell me...?"
Orochimaru felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Tobirama Senju's words...
"Second Hokage, don't you think human experimentation is a taboo subject?! It uses living, breathing human lives!!! Do you really think there's nothing wrong with it?!"
Tobirama Senju glanced at Orochimaru with disdain...
"I'm telling you, you little brat!!! I've done human experiments too! You were just Danzo by Danzo. I've heard that the people he gave you were all from his own village. When I did human experiments back then, I used people from other villages, all enemy ninjas! I had no conscience at all when I killed them!!!"
Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he heard Tobirama Senju's words...
"Second Hokage, have you ever conducted human experiments?"
Tobirama Senju took a sip of sake and continued...
"Of course! Otherwise, how do you think I invented so many forbidden techniques?! I won't go into the others, let's just talk about the Impure World Reincarnation!"
Without killing a hundred or so people, could I have developed the Impure World Reincarnation?! Back then, when I ran out of people to experiment on, I'd go to other villages and grab a few. If there weren't any left, I'd grab a few more. I was discovered once when I went to grab people, but I just shouted, "My elder brother, Hashirama Senju!!!" Who dared stop me from grabbing people?! Damn it, I'd scatter their ashes!!!
That's why I'm saying this to you! Whatever you do, whether it's human experimentation or research, as long as it doesn't harm the lives of your own village's civilians and ninjas, and as long as it brings convenience to your own village, then you're right! What do we care about the lives of people in other villages?!
That's why I lectured you during the Chunin Ninja Exams, that's why I called you a dimwit! Such a trivial matter, and you're willing to betray the village?
"If you still want to do research afterward, I'll take you out to catch someone!!!"
Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's words, Orochimaru also took a large gulp of sake...
"Thank you so much Second Hokage!!! I truly enjoy doing research, and I especially love studying things related to the human body! I think life is an incredibly wondrous thing! So, Second Hokage, please continue to guide me in the future!!!"
"I wouldn't call it guidance... it's more about mutual progress!!! You have no idea, Makoto admires you immensely!!! He even said that if you hadn't betrayed the village back then, our Konoha's technology could be 100 years ahead of the Ninja World!!! He really idolizes you when it comes to scientific research!!!"
"Really?! My junior brother really said that!"
"You still don't believe me? Everyone in that little space heard him! That's how he described you! Oh, right!!! He also said that there's no one in the Ninja World harder to kill than you! When everyone thought you were dead, you were actually alive; when everyone thought you were alive, you were actually half-dead..."
To be honest, I still don't understand what kind of state you're in! He once said that you were playing a game where the snake spits at you, you spit out the snake and the snake spits at you, you spit out the snake, you spit out the snake!!! I was so curious back then!!! Could you show me?! Satisfy my curiosity!!!
Tobirama Senju spoke while staring at Orochimaru with shining eyes...
Orochimaru felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the look in Tobirama Senju's eyes...
Because that look made it seem like I was being looked at as experimental subjects...
Did the Second Hokage use me as a guinea pig?!
Izuna Uchiha also joined in...
"Yeah! Orochimaru, we're all really curious about your technique. I can understand you spitting out snakes, but snakes spitting out snakes, and then snakes spitting out snakes again... I just don't get it... Could you show us how?!"
Jiraiya overheard their conversation and curiously joined in...
"Orochimaru! Have you developed any new ninjutsu lately?!"
After Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha finished singing, they walked over shirtless, each carrying a bottle of alcohol...
Hashirama Senju Orochimaru with bright, sparkling eyes...
"Orochimaru! Are you going to perform acrobatics?! I can't wait!!!"
Madara Uchiha and then said...
"Actually, I'm also very curious about your ninjutsu! I must say, you're truly a genius to have developed such a bizarre ninjutsu!!! Show it to me! There's no need to hide it!"
Orochimaru looked around at the people around him, their eyes filled with curiosity, and smiled helplessly...
"Alright... Since you seniors want to see it, then I can only make a fool of myself... Although I am not as strong as you seniors, I have done some research on survival skills... On this auspicious day, I will demonstrate to you seniors how I spit out snakes, snakes spit out me, I spit out snakes, snakes spit out me, I spit out swords!!!"
