Like the Busty Big Sister Next Door

Tsunade re-examined Orochimaru before her. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Would I lie to you, Lord Hokage?"

Orochimaru said with a light laugh.

"Alright, you can go think about whether you need the intelligence," he said, then looked at Kanami. "You invited me to Konoha, and it seems you almost attacked me."

Didn't you promise I'd be alright?

He said it deliberately.

In an instant, Kanami became the target of everyone's criticism.

The Konoha Ninja present all looked at Kanami with suspicion and doubt.

"Kanami, is what he said true? You invited him to Konoha?"

Tsunade frowned.

She didn't understand when Kanami had gotten involved with Orochimaru again, and even invited him to Konoha.

He knew perfectly well that the Third Hokage had died at Orochimaru's hands.

Kanami smiled calmly, "I invited him to Konoha, and I wanted him to stay Konoha permanently. But I didn't expect him to refuse before, and now he's come here on his own. I haven't even had a chance to tell the Lord Hokage yet."

"It really was Orochimaru whom he invited!"

"Tetsu, what do you think he's thinking? Orochimaru teamed up with Sunagakure back then, which led to the death of Hiruzen Sarutobi and caused a lot of casualties in Konoha!"

Mizuki Izumo lowered his voice and asked with great dissatisfaction.

A fine sheen of sweat appeared on Kotetsu Hagane face. "I don't know..."

He didn't assume that Kanami was unaware of the implications just because of his age, after all, Kanami often outperformed them, not just in terms of strength.

"Kanami..." Hinata Hyuga whispered in Kanami's ear.

She was worried that this incident would cause conflict between Kanami and the village.

Kanami smiled at her and nodded slightly, "It's alright, I heard what they said."

Mizuki Izumo and Kotetsu Hagane:!!!!

The two were immediately startled.

He heard it?

What does this mean?

Are they going to hold a grudge against us?!

Holy crap, I've been targeted by a Kage-level powerhouse?!

"Gulp."

The two looked at each other, swallowed hard, and could both see the nervousness in the other's eyes.

The Lord Hokage values Kanami so much, surely he won't stop us from guarding the gate because of this, will he?

Although being a gatekeeper sounds unpleasant, it's a government-funded job with a higher salary than taking on commissioned tasks. Moreover, compared to commissioned tasks, their job is quite easy and not dangerous at all.

However, once danger arises, it usually means death.

Having served as "Guardian God" for so many years, they don't want to give up their posts easily.

However, Kanami ignored him and his words were merely a response to Hinata.

He's not so idle as to make things difficult for others; if he's really unhappy, he'll just kill them directly.

Will he give me face?

He wouldn't give face to anyone except his wife Hinata Hyuga.

"Kanami, your contributions to the village are not only seen by me, but by everyone in the village. So, there must be a reason why you invited Orochimaru to stay in the village permanently, right?"

Tsunade stared intently at Kanami and asked.

At the same time, she raised her hand and waved it slightly.

"Yes!" the elephant immediately accepted the order.

He turned around, grabbed Mizuki Izumo and Kotetsu Hagane, and jumped away instantly.

Both were only at the Chunin level, but due to certain special abilities, they were promoted to Special Jonin, similar to Ibiki Morino.

Therefore, due to the sudden movement of their partner, the two of them were taken away before they could even react.

After removing all unrelated personnel from the scene, Tsunade changed the subject. "Kanami, you speak."

Her tone didn't sound like that of Hokage at all; it sounded more like that of a friendly neighbor, the older sister with the thunderbolt.

Tsunade was very clever; she unconditionally trusted Kanami Kanami until she confirmed that he had engaged in any acts of treason.

His strength and ability justify her making this choice.

As expected, this is the normal Tsunade!

Kanami muttered to himself.

He still remembered that in the Original Plot, Pain's Deva Path came to Konoha looking for Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto was training in Senjutsu at Mount Myōboku, and Deva Path found out. Tsunade then started acting Brawler.

He shouted at the Deva Path, "You have no idea that big villages also have their own difficulties. What are the sufferings of your small villages compared to that!"

Such words immediately ignited Pain's anger, as he had originally planned to leave for Mount Myōboku to capture Naruto.

It instantly took off from its spot and began carrying rice.

Ultimately, Konoha was razed to the ground, and Tsunade were merely empty boasts.

Seeing that Tsunade's performance differed from the Original Plot, Kanami felt deeply gratified.

Impulsive but not reckless, that's Tsunade's personality.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Tsunade asked again.

Her heart was in her throat. From her perspective, Kanami looked like he had been hit where it hurt and didn't know what to say.

"Orochimaru is a research genius. In my opinion, he should be recruited Katasuke Tono and he should create a good synergy."

Kanami said simply.

These past few days, Kanami has also been thinking about Katasuke Tono.

He's the middle-aged man who invented the Scientific Ninja Tools in Boruto, but he's too young now, so he couldn't connect the two for the moment. After all, he looks quite handsome now, while in Boruto he's a completely greasy middle-aged man.

"What?! Doing research with Katasuke Tono?!"

Tsunade's pupils contracted slightly.

When she first recruited Katasuke genius young researcher like Katasuke, she worried that he might follow the same path of obsession as Orochimaru.

Now Kanami is telling her that he invited Orochimaru back to the village because he wanted them to create some chemistry??

This completely overlapped with her concerns.

"No! Although Orochimaru has strong research abilities, his experiments have harmed many babies. He doesn't deserve to be called a human being!"

Tsunade frowned and immediately rejected the idea.

She would never allow such a thing to happen again in her village.

Kanami didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Orochimaru, who hadn't spoken. "What do you think, Orochimaru?"

"Tsunade, I stopped conducting those kinds of experiments a long time ago. What I pursue is immortality. Those experiments back then were only because I was cooperating with Danzō Shimura. During the war, everyone agreed on the pursuit of Wood Release."

Orochimaru said calmly.

Just as he said, back then, both the infants and the Konoha higher-ups agreed to research and develop the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, which allowed Orochimaru to conduct experiments in Konoha with peace of mind.

However, even after it was banned, he still tried it, until he was driven away by the Third Hokage.

I don't trust your words.

Tsunade gave Orochimaru a cold look.

Orochimaru smiled. "You know me. I wouldn't lie to you like that, and I wouldn't stoop to lying."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade frowned even more deeply, immediately becoming conflicted.
