"Who gives you the right to accuse me of exploitation?"
"Ugh! Pah!"
"That born evil Uchiha brat!"
Tobirama Senju's tone was extremely displeased; as he spoke, he almost spat on Uchiha Nan's face, and his expression was one of utter resentment.
"Cough cough cough, how can they be the same?"
"You're a dead man, you don't need to rest, but Orochimaru is still growing. If you keep pushing Orochimaru like this, what if he becomes malnourished!"
Uchiha Nan showed no mercy to Tobirama Senju and immediately retorted!
The reason Tobirama Senju works 24 hours a day is not because Uchiha Nan is kind-hearted, but because there are only 24 hours in a day!
As the Second Hokage of Konoha, one should have a spirit of dedication!
"You're talking nonsense!!"
"So what if someone is dead? Don't dead people have human rights?!"
" Tobirama, why are you acting so effeminate? You are the Second Hokage of Konoha, and this is the time when Konoha needs your wisdom!"
Can the vast Konoha now exist without you, the Second Hokage?!
"They really can't be separated from me for even a moment!"
Uchiha Nan gave Tobirama Senju a few Tobirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju's tense expression immediately changed. Although he still had a cold face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Hmph, even if you flatter me like that, I will never forgive you."
Tobirama Senju feigned reluctance, but inwardly he kept replaying Uchiha Nan's words in his mind— Konoha couldn't do without his wisdom, couldn't do without him, the Second Hokage. At least Uchiha Nan had some conscience. That naturally evil brat. Heh heh.
Tobirama's mastery, his mastery!
Uchiha Nan's expression remained unchanged. He felt that he had mastered the technique of controlling Tobirama Senju. This guy was like a donkey; sometimes you had to stroke his fur the right way.
"If you feel this is unfair, then I can promise you that if Orochimaru unfortunately dies young, I will Impure World Reincarnation immediately and bring him to this laboratory to keep you company!"
Uchiha Nan felt it was time to add fuel to the fire and continued speaking.
I?
Lord Hokage, why are you dragging me into your feud with your master?
Orochimaru had originally wanted to watch the show, but every time the Lord Hokage spoke with his master, they would inevitably end up arguing for no apparent reason.
But this is a good thing, this is a good thing.
That way, I can sneak out quietly!
But!!!
You two can argue and bicker as you please!
Why did you arrange everything for me after I die?!
Although Orochimaru loves scientific research, he is not as pathologically obsessed as in the original work.
Orochimaru is still a normal person at this point, and you could even say he is a kind and virtuous boy.
According to the original timeline, Orochimaru would probably have already gone to the front lines for training, and the number of ninjas who died at his hands would likely be no less than double digits.
As for now, Uchiha Nan is taking good care of him; he has never left the village and has never taken a life.
Orochimaru still hasn't figured out what his pursuit, his ninja way, should be.
But the most terrifying thing about Tobirama like my master, Tobirama, who works tirelessly in the lab 24/7, contributing to Konoha in silence, is that there seems to be no end in sight. I really don't know how my master endured it.
This is definitely not the life Orochimaru wants!
no!!
I can't die!!
If I die, I should be like my master!
I want to live forever!!!
Orochimaru, what do you think?
"This is a fantastic opportunity; others would kill for it."
Uchiha Nan turned his head and looked at Orochimaru with a kind expression, his face still wearing a smile, but Orochimaru couldn't help but shudder.
Lord Hokage, no!!
This wonderful thing should be enjoyed by Master all by himself!!
"Don't scare children. Orochimaru is my disciple, he inherited my mantle, and he certainly won't die young."
"After a while, I will pass on my unique technique, the Flying Thunder God, to him. If he can learn it, he will definitely be able to secure a place in this Ninja world."
This is my upgraded Flying Thunder God; even if the enemy is strong, it should be able to protect itself without any problem."
Tobirama Senju, eager to protect his disciple, planned to hand over the upgraded Flying Thunder God to Orochimaru after some time. Both the teleportation range and the amount of Chakra consumed were far superior to the previous version.
"Master!"
Orochimaru's eyes instantly turned into little stars. Although his master was very strict with him, he still loved him after all.
"However... cough cough... Uchiha Nan, your suggestion is indeed good. Decades later, Orochimaru will definitely die too. Remember to Impure World Reincarnation, so that Orochimaru won't be lonely in the Pure Land. It will also be a good contribution to Konoha."
Tobirama Senju changed the subject, finding Uchiha Nan's suggestion quite constructive. Orochimaru and Uchiha Nan weren't that far apart in age, less than ten years apart. This naturally evil Uchiha brat was a wicked bastard.
As the saying goes, good people don't live long, while bad people live for a thousand years. Orochimaru probably won't outlive Uchiha Nan.
After Orochimaru died, he stayed with his master to fulfill his filial duty. Isn't that what he should do?
As soon as Tobirama Senju finished speaking, the warm atmosphere of teacher-student affection vanished in an instant.
Orochimaru's heart sank completely at that moment. Had the sun risen in the west? His master was surprisingly standing with the Lord Hokage.
Master, you should never do to others what you would not have them do to you!
I can't die, I absolutely can't die!!!
Relying on heaven, earth, or a master is not as good as relying on yourself!
" Tobirama, it's settled then!"
"Good."
Orochimaru, do you have any objections?
"Look, even Orochimaru is so happy he's not saying a word. He definitely has no objections. This is a great thing to do for Konoha. I wouldn't even consider someone with mediocre abilities."
"That's right, Orochimaru was my Disciple, Tobirama Senju!"
"."
Uchiha Nan and Tobirama Senju settled the matter after Orochimaru's death in just a few words.
"Alright, Orochimaru, go about your business. I need to discuss adult matters with your master."
"Hmm? Oh?"
Orochimaru, still reeling, walked out of the room with tears in his eyes, looking utterly dejected.
" Orochimaru, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so down? Your eyes are red too. Did I scold you and make you cry?"
Tobirama Senju looked at Orochimaru's retreating figure and said in a questioning voice.
" Orochimaru's mental fortitude isn't that bad. Maybe he was just too happy. After the initial surprise comes the emptiness. I understand that feeling."
Uchiha Nan waved his hand dismissively at Tobirama Senju. He had come to see Tobirama Senju today to lock up Black Zetsu completely, so that Tobirama wouldn't spy on his nightlife every day.
While he was at it, he also interrogated him about information he didn't know. This old coin, hidden for a thousand years, was full of information, especially about the Ōtsutsuki Clan. He definitely knew some of it. For the sake of the distant future, the more information he had, the better his chances of winning.
Tobirama, I've captured Black Zetsu.
Uchiha Nan raised the sealed box in his left hand, his tone filled with excitement.
"This is the Black Zetsu you were talking about. It's so black, no wonder it's called that. Who gave it that name?"
That sounds awful!
It definitely wasn't his mother; what mother would name her son like that?
"His mother definitely doesn't like him!"
"Oh right. Who's his mother again?"
Tobirama Senju brought his face close to the sealed box, examining it as he spoke.
Uchiha Nan listened in silence. " Tobirama Senju, your mouth is truly something else. It's so sharp and hurtful. You've broken down my defenses with your words!"
No wonder Orochimaru cried after you scolded him!
Heinous crime!!!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
"WTF!!!!"
"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!!!"
"My mom loves me the most, so let me out if you dare!!"
"I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!!!"
Black Zetsu blushed deeply after hearing Tobirama Senju's words. Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest blade. Tobirama Senju's words were like a knife stabbing into Black Zetsu's heart.
Did Kaguya Otsutsuki love Black Zetsu?
Is Black Zetsu merely used as a tool to break the seal?
Did he actually treat Black Zetsu like a son?
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This novel was first published on 6=9+Book_Bar.
In the still of the night, as Black Zetsu gazed at the bright moon, he thought of his mother, and this question would often cross his mind.
After all, Kaguya Otsutsuki's gifts to Black Zetsu were far less than those two Filial Son. One of them lived alone in the Ninja world, weak and frail when he was young and ignorant. A premature baby suffered a lot in the Ninja world, and had to avoid his brothers' detection and grow stronger little by little until one day he could rescue his mother.
These questions lingering in his heart... no one can answer them for Black Zetsu.
It can only encourage itself and cheer itself on.
Who can know the bitterness in this?
Black Zetsu is experiencing it firsthand!
As time slowly passed, Black Zetsu almost forgot what his mother looked like or what her voice sounded like.
When you forget someone, the first thing you forget isn't their voice or their appearance, but their flaws. The longer they linger in your memory, the more you think of their good qualities when you think of them, because they live on in your embellished memories, so they remain forever beautiful.
In Black Zetsu's hazy memories, his mother was the best!
He is his mother's most beloved son!
Now someone is actually questioning all of this!
Unforgivable!!
Black Zetsu's viscous liquid body trembled violently, and cracks appeared in the crimson seal box.
Seeing Black Zetsu unleash his full power, Uchiha Nan sensed that the sealing box was becoming unstable, so he quickly increased his Chakra input to stabilize it.
" Tobirama, please stop talking! Black Zetsu really desperate; he almost escaped just now."
What did I say?
Tobirama Senju looked completely innocent, wondering why this black creature in front of him was suddenly so agitated.
You just hurt his pride.
"Oh, I see. This Black Zetsu really isn't liked by his mother."
Tobirama Senju crossed his arms over his chest, looking as if he had expected this.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
"Bastard, let me go!!"
"I'm going to kill him!!"
Black Zetsu had completely broken through his defenses. His yellow beady eyes were fixed on Tobirama Senju. His head was pressed against the sealing box as he used Yin-Yang Release with all his might, trying to break through the sealing box and fight Tobirama Senju death.
No one can question his mother's love for him!
"Stop talking, stop talking."
"Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground; why insult Black Zetsu?"
Uchiha Nan quickly told Tobirama Senju to shut up. The Black Zetsu so intense and pure that even Uchiha Nan, a veteran of many battles, felt a chill run down his spine.
" Black Zetsu, don't take it to heart by Tobirama Senju. I know how hard you've worked. You're a good kid, and your mother loves you the most."
Uchiha Nan comforted Black Zetsu, saying, "Black Zetsu, this Otsutsuki Shinobu, is such a filial son!"
Even though Uchiha Nan and Black Zetsu were on opposite sides, he still greatly appreciated Black Zetsu's Kaguya Otsutsuki.
A thousand years of waiting, Senju hands of forbearance, painstaking planning, step by step, countless days and nights of scheming all for the sake of rescuing his mother. As long as one knows what happened, no one can overly blame Black Zetsu.
"Okay, I understand."
Tobirama Senju spoke casually, completely disregarding Black Zetsu. A prisoner like him, expecting dignity?
His dignity has been shattered time and time again by Uchiha Nan, yet he's still standing here unscathed.
"Alright, hand it over to me. Once he's inside my specially made sealed prison, he'll never get out for the rest of his life."
Tobirama Senju reached out and took the crimson sealing box from Uchiha Nan's hand. With his other hand, he quickly Hand Seals, and a rectangular space instantly appeared in the corner of the room, surrounded by complex incantations.
"Go inside!"
Tobirama Senju threw the sealed box into the Sealing Space. Within minutes, the sealed box was quickly broken by Black Zetsu - Yin-Yang Release. The viscous black liquid condensed into a human shape, its entire face pressed against the Sealing Space, staring intently at Tobirama Senju.
" Uchiha Nan, what are you planning to do with this guy?"
"That depends on Black Zetsu's attitude."
"A few sayings are widely circulated in my hometown!"
Wei Junjie is a man of pragmatism!
Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!
"Wait a minute, I've never heard these two phrases in Konoha."
Tobirama Senju chimed in from the side.
Tobirama, why do you have so many things to do?!
Uchiha Nan glanced at Tobirama Senju, thinking, "Why bring up something I shouldn't have? Do I have to tell you I'm a transmigrator?"
" Black Zetsu, if you're willing to cooperate, it will be a good thing for both of us."
Uchiha Nan looked at Black Zetsu and spoke slowly.
In a sense, he and Kaguya Otsutsuki were on the same boat.
Kaguya Otsutsuki ambushed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and ate the fruit of the God Tree without permission.
They will definitely be purged by the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the future.
Her painstaking creation of White Zetsu was all for the purpose of building an army that could fight against the Ōtsutsuki Clan and protect herself, even though the idea was quite foolish.
I really don't know why Kishimoto draws manga like this!!
He needed to fight against the Ōtsutsuki Clan for the sake of the Ninja world, since killing Ōtsutsuki Clan Kaguya Otsutsuki be a piece of cake for the Otsutsuki clan when they came to the Ninja world.
The most important thing is to continue planting trees in the Ninja world until all the life energy of the Ninja world is absorbed, turning this planet into a dead star.
Perhaps I can turn my enemy into an ally with Black Zetsu and unite against a common enemy.
