Hidden Leaf Village.
Menma, who was making snowmen with Hinata and Naruto in the park, suddenly paused.
Shadow Clone had put things at home through Flying Thunder God Technique, and then took the initiative to cancel them. A massive amount of information poured into Menma's mind.
"Menma?" Little Hinata was keenly aware of Menma's abnormality, and concern filled his snow-white eyes.
But Naruto didn't even realize it, and kept plugging a branch into the snowman's head as a nose.
"It's okay, let's continue playing." Menma shook his head, indicating to Hinata not to worry, and continued to play the little game of building a snowman with them.
Now Menma is the child king of this park. The children around him either avoid him or regard him as the boss. Even Naruto is occasionally treated kindly by children of the same age.
Of course, the premise is that the adults of those children are not around.
This actually made Naruto's childhood less lonely.
After two years of studying Ninja Academy, Shikamaru, Choji and other descendants of the ninja clan will not discriminate against Naruto, and can make Naruto have a few more friends.
"Brother Menma! Look!" Naruto screamed.
Menma and Hinata looked at it, and it turned out that Naruto had taken off his own red coin and wrapped it around the snowman.
"You made the scarf dirty. If you wash it later, it will take several days to dry." Menma vaguely remembered that this scarf seemed to be knitted by Kushina for Naruto.
"It's okay, I still have a scarf at home, but the color is darker." Naruto grinned and didn't care.
This sentence made Menma stunned for a moment. "Is there another one?"
"Yeah." Naruto nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Not just scarves, but also clothes, hats, etc., all of which have a darker color. I don't know why.
Hearing this, Menma's heart skipped a beat.
"So, Kushina and Minato are prepared for two children." Menma lowered his head and bit his gums.
He didn't know why Third Hokage didn't look for the missing child of Fourth Hokage couple, nor did he investigate the extra orphans that Nine-Tails Incident had that night.
But now it seems that Kushina was indeed twins when she was pregnant, and she also prepared clothes for the two children.
I was not born in Limited Tsukuyomi World, but I had a body that was conceived by Kushina and then entered Limited Tsukuyomi?
So, is it still Obito's fault?
After being separated from Naruto and Hinata, Menma returned home and took samples of the Iburi Clan.
Then pass Flying Thunder God Technique and arrive at the secret base of Land of Rice Fields.
The black robe brushed the snow at the entrance of the village, and when Menma wearing White Three-Eyed Fox Mask appeared in front of Otogakure, the sky had completely darkened.
Now this village has been completely controlled by Orochimaru, and the villagers depend on Orochimaru's power for their survival.
In such a turbulent era, there are very few villages that can be protected by ninjas.
And Orochimaru doesn't look down on these ordinary people either, it's just to allow the villagers to produce some basic supplies.
"Sir Asura." The red-haired girl at the entrance of the village waited for an unknown amount of time, and finally saw Asura coming from the darkness, and greeted him with some determination.
"Lead the way." Menma lowered his head and glanced at Tayuya. This kid was already like Orochimaru's other subordinates.
Wrapping Shimenawa around my waist.
Many of Orochimaru's subordinates are orphans and problem children. They have a strong admiration for Orochimaru, and even voluntarily gave their bodies to become Orochimaru's containers.
This kind of ideological education similar to brainwashing is an important cornerstone for Orochimaru to establish Otogakure.
"Yes!" Tayuya bowed slightly and then led the way.
This time compared to last year, there are many more buildings in the village, and the entrance to Orochimaru's underground base has also changed drastically.
Entering from a wooden structure building in the village and passing through the corridor that continues to extend downward, Menma once again arrived at the base of Orochimaru.
Various experimental subjects are still being held in some cages, and the air is filled with the smell of blood and disinfectant. Menma frowned slightly under his white mask.
"You are indeed in Land of Bears." The female Orochimaru walked out of a laboratory and was satisfied that his guess was correct.
"Where are the things?" Menma walked towards Orochimaru, folded his hands on his chest, White Three-Eyed Fox Mask raised his head slightly, and looked at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru snorted twice, got out of the way, and motioned to Menma to follow him into the laboratory.
After Menma entered Orochimaru's laboratory, Orochimaru began to explain, "Thanks to the White Zetsu you provided, I used its cell tissue to neutralize Iburi Clan's genes, and was able to realize the free control of Smoke Transformation."
"However, these were all conducted on flesh and blood tissue, and no human experiments have been conducted. If you can provide a few Iburi Clan people-."
Before Orochimaru finished speaking, he was interrupted by Menma.
"It's not yet ready for human experimentation." A voice of rejection came from White Three-Eyed Fox Mask.
Hearing Asura's answer, Orochimaru frowned slightly.
"Asura, are you too concerned about the Iburi Clan's life and death?" Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils shrank slightly.
He couldn't figure out why Asura, a top powerhouse who could make a big fuss about Konoha and Cloud Village, would pay so much attention to a weak ethnic group.
"Orochimaru, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and Second Hokage Tobirama Senju?" Menma turned his head slightly, White Three-Eyed Fox Mask looked at Orochimaru behind him.
"Except for my strength, I may not be as good as him. In the field of scientific research, I don't think I am any worse than Second Hokage." Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his cheek. He was very confident in his achievements in the field of scientific research.
"That's the bottom line, Orochimaru." However, Asura's seemingly light words hit Orochimaru's heart hard.
Orochimaru's pupils trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but think of all kinds of information about Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
It seems that Mr. Second Hokage, who is also an expert in scientific research, has never conducted experiments on living people -
Even the attitude towards the Uchiha Clan is better than the current Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After all, Tobirama Senju also accepted Uchiha as his apprentice.
Second Hokage should really want to change Uchiha Clan.
"Stop talking about this." Orochimaru suddenly grinned, walked to a cabinet next to the experimental table, took out a scroll from it and threw it to Menma.
"What do you think about Meteorite and Hell Valley?" Then, Orochimaru mentioned his plan to build a base in Land of Bears.
"There is no need to build a new stronghold. I will allocate a laboratory building to your people at Land of Bears's base." Menma opened the scroll and took a look at the research data, and nodded slightly. It was roughly the same as his own research direction, but the progress was much faster.
After closing the scroll and putting it away, Menma took out a Storage Scroll and gave it to Orochimaru.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I just want to be a little interested in the poison gas of Meteorite and Hell Valley." Orochimaru caught Storage Scroll and put it directly into his mouth.
As he said, Hell Valley's poison gas and Meteorite were just to satisfy Orochimaru's curiosity before they found any greater use.
"So, how was Kirigakure's trip?" After swallowing Storage Scroll, Orochimaru licked his tongue around his mouth.
An invitation was sent to Asura.
