Orochimaru's Loss of Composure; Roger, the Center of Attention

Coincidentally, the Sannin Cloud Ninja Front also had their own ideas.

"The teacher said that this... Roger, it's possible, is, well, a descendant of the First Lord."

In front of Orochimaru and Tsunade, Jiraiya spoke awkwardly, his gaze frequently drifting towards Tsunade.

After all, Tsunade is Senju Hashirama's granddaughter.

Tsunade suddenly stood up, her previously somewhat dejected eyes instantly sharpening as she stared intently at Jiraiya, a chilling light flashing in her eyes.

She approached Jiraiya, picked up Roger's portrait, and examined it closely.

The more closely Tsunade looked, the deeper her brow furrowed.

She thought about what Senju Hashirama looked like, and then looked at Roger's rough and rugged appearance. Her feelings suddenly became complicated. If Roger really was her great-grandfather's son, it was hard to imagine what her grandfather's mental state was like back then!

Surely her grandfather isn't that hungry?

Who exactly is he?

Tsunade's voice sounded a bit strange, with a hint of embarrassment.

According to Hiruzen Sarutobi, this man might be a member of her clan, or even her own uncle!

However, she no longer wanted to imagine what kind of woman her grandfather had married to have Roger!

Although her grandfather was a bit slow-witted, he was still quite good-looking. Considering Roger's appearance, it's not hard for Tsunade, as the number one medical-nin, to imagine what her mother must have looked like, albeit rather rugged.

Although she didn't have any discriminatory attitude, I'm afraid every man in the world would avoid her like the plague.

As if he had read Tsunade's mind, Jiraiya spoke up at an inopportune moment.

Is it possible that the First of adults had enjoyed many good things and just wanted a change of pace?

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's pretty face, which had been full of doubt, instantly froze.

That seems to make a lot of sense!

In return for Jiraiya's explanation, Tsunade let her fist make intimate contact with Jiraiya.

Bang!

A bag the size of a fist instantly took root and sprouted on Jiraiya's head.

What the two didn't notice was that Orochimaru, the most mature and composed of them, was frozen in place, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

Just like Danzo, Orochimaru knew the moment he saw the intelligence that he had been exposed!

No!

There's still a glimmer of hope!

As long as the so-called "Roger" doesn't reveal his identity directly, his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi can help him suppress it!

If we find "Roger," there's always a chance to turn things around!

As for who "Roger" is, isn't the candidate quite clear?

Uchiha Makoto!

That super strong person who is unanimously considered the strongest in the entire Shinobi World!

Come to think of it, I'm still an employee of the Uchiha Consortium, so I do have some connections.

Not revealing his involvement in human experimentation shouldn't be a big problem, right?

But after this incident, the position of Fourth Hokage is practically over for him!

In a few more years, who knows, he might...

Orochimaru thought unwillingly, but in the end, he helplessly loosened his clenched fist.

With Uchiha Makoto around, what can he do?

Just as Orochimaru was feeling down, Jiraiya quickly ran up behind him.

"Help me! Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya placed his hands on Orochimaru's shoulders, trying to avoid Tsunade's gaze.

'That idiot!'

Orochimaru cursed inwardly, but his initial negative attitude had largely dissipated.

"Stop! Tsunade!"

Seeing that Tsunade was about to make another move, Orochimaru immediately stopped her.

Although she is indeed in a bad mood right now, Jiraiya wasn't hurt, she can't just take it out on him like this!

At this point, Tsunade did not continue to pursue Jiraiya, but simply glared at him fiercely.

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Tsunade return to her seat and stepped out from behind Orochimaru.

"Thanks, Orochimaru."

Jiraiya spoke, he patted Orochimaru on the shoulder.

Orochimaru nodded slightly in agreement. He looked at Tsunade, hesitated for a moment, and then said something that Tsunade had never thought of.

"Tsunade, have you ever considered that these two Wood Release users are actually related to the Senju Clan?"

"For example, they were originally from the Senju Clan, but they only conducted experiments later on; there was nothing else!"

Orochimaru's words left Tsunade speechless for a moment.

Were the Senju Clan captured and used as subjects for human experimentation? Could it be that the so-called "organization" was actually established by an extreme Senju Clan?

Could this be an internal matter within the Senju Clan?

Was all of this staged by certain Senju Clan?

She didn't know.

In the years when she was young, she did indeed witness many of her clansmen die one after another in the process of experimenting with Wood Release.

The Wood Release experiment at that time was proposed by Senju Tobirama and was entirely led and controlled by the Senju Clan.

All of this came to an end when Hiruzen Sarutobi over, which was also the reason why the Senju Clan was completely integrated into Konoha.

The Senju Clan's losses are far too great!

Seeing Tsunade's mood gradually darken, Orochimaru remained silent.

Jiraiya chuckled, trying to ease the tension.

"Perhaps... that child will recreate history by pacifying the chaotic world and leading the entire Shinobi World towards peace and stability."

"The First Lord would surely be pleased to see this, wouldn't he?"

Orochimaru silently rubbed his forehead upon hearing this.

'What an idiot!'

Bang!

With Tsunade bulging on her forehead, Tsunade once again delivered a punch to Jiraiya, sending Jiraiya running all over the room.

However, unlike last time, Orochimaru did not speak up to stop him this time.

Following Konoha's announcement, other ninja villages realized Konoha's intentions and followed suit, issuing their own similar announcements.

For a time, the tense situation of the Third Shinobi World War eased considerably, and everyone quietly awaited information about Wood Release.

Perhaps due to Senju Hashirama's immense influence, the entire Shinobi World more or less believed that whoever mastered Wood Release would rule the world!

In this environment, all parties have made their moves one after another, fully preparing for the future.

The three-day deadline slowly approached!

Dressed in a black robe, "Roger" strode in, drawing all eyes to him!

As the black robe fluttered in the wind, many eyes turned to it.

"Is this the user of Wood Release?"
