After Naruto took Konan away, she really saw the comparison between Amegakure and Kusagakure.
Amegakure was peaceful most of the time under the governance of Akatsuki, but due to the Yanyu Controversy, it was not very lively.
However, Kusagakure's quality of life did not decline after he was beaten down by Konoha.
Ninja of Konoha registered the villagers of Kusagakure, distributed food to the elderly who were unable to work, and provided jobs for the villagers while building Kusagakure.
The whole village is in a prosperous scene.
Most of those Konoha's Ninja are like the Teacher Jiraiya she saw when she was a child, with honest smiles and willingness to help others.
Even now, the scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing is still appearing before Konan's eyes.
Laboratory of Orochimaru.
Naruto paused in his steps, leaned sideways to the crack of the door, and looked inside.
In the room, Kabuto Yakushi was standing with his back to the door, standing in front of a console, and seemed to be holding something in his hand.
And Tayuya is sitting on a chair in the room Corner, holding a Bone Flute, carefully performing maintenance and debugging, and does not seem to be too concerned about the situation over there.
At this moment, Kabuto seemed to hear a slight movement at the door and turned his head sharply.
When his eyes met the calm but penetrating eyes of Naruto outside the door, a flash of extreme panic flashed across his face.
When Kabuto Yakushi saw Naruto arriving, he put the things in his hands into a box under the console in a panic.
After doing all this, Kabuto forced himself to turn around with a stiff smile on his face, but a thin layer of cold sweat had already formed on his forehead.
"Lord Hokage, why are you here? Are you here to see Lord Orochimaru? She just went out. You may need to wait for a while..."
Kabuto's voice was trembling as he tried to change the subject.
Naruto raised his eyebrows.
Kabuto's reaction was too abnormal.
As Orochimaru's most capable assistant, Kabuto has always been calm, steady, even a little gloomy, and rarely loses his composure like this.
The thing he hid just now... was obviously something he didn't want himself to see.
"What's wrong, Kabuto?"
Naruto pushed Gate of Opening, Earth Flow walked in slowly, his eyes swept over the box behind Kabuto's legs, and then fell back to Kabuto's face that was dripping with cold sweat.
"Is there something... that you can't let me see?"
His tone was very calm, even with a hint of curious smile, but his eyes seemed to see through everything, making Kabuto feel an invisible pressure.
"No, it's nothing, Lord Hokage, just some... insignificant residual samples from the experiment. I haven't had time to process them yet, so I'm afraid they might stain your eyes."
Kabuto quickly waved his hand to explain, but his throat rolled.
We can't let Master Sixth discover this!
Dou howled in his heart.
Lord Orochimaru has repeatedly warned that this "project" must be kept absolutely confidential until it is completely successful or has a clear conclusion, especially from Naruto!
Who knows what Sixth's reaction will be if he finds out?
Lord Orochimaru might skin him!
Seeing Kabuto so nervous that he was stammering when speaking, and more and more sweat was wiping off his forehead, Naruto's curiosity was completely aroused.
The corners of his mouth curved into a playful arc, and he took a step forward, approaching Kabuto and the metal box.
"Oh? An irrelevant sample?"
Naruto drawled his tone.
This Kid has something going on in his heart. What is it Orochimaru is hiding that he doesn't want to see?
"Then let me see, what does it matter?"
"Be obedient, Kabuto."
Naruto's voice still contained a smile, but his tone was unquestionable, with the majesty of a superior person.
"Let me see."
"Lord Hokage, please, please wait!"
Kabuto's face turned pale with anxiety, how could he possibly stop Naruto!
At this moment of tense stalemate, Tayuya, who had been sitting in Corner as if it had nothing to do with him, put down Bone Flute in his hand, raised his head, and explained:
"That's a child."
"Child?"
After hearing this word, Naruto stepped forward and grabbed Kabuto's collar.
"Where did the child come from?"
Kabuto was almost suffocated by Naruto's momentum and anger, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't make a complete sound because his collar was tightly grasped.
Tayuya saw Kabuto too scared to say a word, so he explained, "That is the child Lord Orochimaru created using his own and Jiraiya's cells, in order to study Senjutsu's product."
After hearing Tayuya's explanation, Naruto directly put the pocket aside.
"What are you hiding in this kind of thing? It's not like you caught a kid here."
It turns out that Orochimaru created a child. Aren't Miwakan and Mitsuki in the original work the artificial humans created by Orochimaru?
But they look a bit like Toneri.
He opened the box and took out the white-haired child inside.
He has white hair and looks about one or two years old, and he is sleeping.
"What's this kid's name?"
So cute!
Naruto Looking at this cute child, the thought of teasing arose in his heart.
When you have an idea, just go ahead and do it, Naruto pinched the child's face.
"His name is Miwakan."
A tired female voice came from the direction of Laboratory's door.
Naruto hugged Miwakan and turned around.
Orochimaru was seen leaning against the door frame, with an obvious look of exhaustion on her face, but the pair of Golden Snake Eyes were still bright and shining with interest.
She looked at Naruto holding Miwakan, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile.
"Lord Hokage, you are here... to check on the progress of 'eyes' cultivation?"
Orochimaru walked in slowly, his tone as lazy and a little teasing as ever.
Naruto weighed the fluttering Miwakan in his arms, feeling the little guy's unconscious movement of leaning into his arms, and then looked up at Orochimaru, with a half-smiling expression on his face:
"Of course I came here to ask about my eyes. But now it seems... I have an unexpected gain."
He motioned to the white-haired child in his arms.
"Haha..."
Orochimaru laughed softly, Golden Snake Eyes circulated between Naruto and Miwakan, his tone was obviously teasing,
"If Lord Hokage you like children so much..."
She deliberately lengthened her tone.
"Then you should hurry up and confess your love to those Girl girls who like you.
I believe that there are Girl sons in Konoha who are willing to give birth to children for the wise, mighty, young and promising Sixth Hokage adults..."
"You can queue from the entrance of Hokage Building all the way to the outside of the village gate. Why do you need to covet this immature 'experimental by-product' of mine?"
This explicit ridicule made Kabuto Yakushi and Tayuya, who had just recovered, couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths and lowered their heads to pretend not to hear.
"I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. As for you, I originally thought you would cultivate Jūgo's cells with Jiraiya's. How could you use yours?"
"Haha, if I fail, someone has to take care of me, right?"
Naruto stared at Orochimaru for several seconds before speaking slowly, with a hint of emotion in his tone:
"'Retirement'..."
"This is not like... something you would say, Orochimaru."
Orochimaru was noncommittal about Naruto's evaluation. He just shrugged and resumed his lazy and mysterious smile:
"People always change, Lord Hokage.
Especially after witnessing... so many incredible beings and possibilities."
After knowing that First and their souls returned to Pure Land, Orochimaru also began to prepare more back-ups, and Miwakan was one of them.
