What? Orochimaru's JK Pic?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag from his pipe while his wife, Biwako, poured him some tea beside him.

"Old man, this disciple of yours doesn't seem as bad as you said," Biwako said softly, gathering up the cups that had just been used to receive Orochimaru and his disciple.

"That guy? I don't believe he's being this kind-hearted." Hiruzen Sarutobi flipped through the things on the table. They were all top-grade tobacco; he could tell.

He even knew where the tobacco had been bought. It came from an old established shop in Konoha, the general store run by Shikamaru's family. There definitely would not be any problems with it.

"Then why does he keep bringing it? It's been seven or eight months already, hasn't it?" Biwako looked at the tobacco, and she could judge its value as well.

If Orochimaru truly had ill intentions, why would he send tobacco for seven or eight months? He even often reminded the old man to go to the hospital for checkups and take care of his health.

It could be said that Orochimaru during this period was practically the absolute model of a good disciple.

"...It's precisely because I don't know that I'm annoyed." Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted, then flicked his sleeve and left.

Biwako was not surprised. The old man never smoked Orochimaru's tobacco; all of it was sold off, adding a little extra income to the household. Though the wealthy Sarutobi Clan did not think much of These Things.

"Cough, cough, cough." Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed several times. Biwako considered it when she heard him, then went to fetch a packet of Chrysanthemum Tea. He coughed whenever he smoked too much, and she was used to it by now.

Still, she had to look after the old man. The Sarutobi Clan owed its current position entirely to him.

After returning to his little home, Kenichi Amamiya began packing his luggage. There was not much to take, but he still needed to bring certain necessities.

For example, the materials he had collected to make Thermobaric Bombs.

Of course, Kenichi Amamiya did not plan to manufacture Thermobaric Bombs in Konoha. Though he already had the blueprints, some materials could not be obtained, so he could only set the matter aside until he gathered them.

"With Thermobaric Bombs, can Fuel-Air Explosive Bombs be put on the agenda too? But all this research costs so much money." Kenichi Amamiya smacked his lips.

When the cannons roared, ten thousand taels of gold vanished. That saying was not made up for nothing.

The manufacturing costs alone were high, let alone the fact that Kenichi Amamiya was conducting research and development. That cost even more, which was why he had not begun his research yet.

Once he joined Akatsuki and gained Akatsuki's financial support, that would be when he could truly display his Kamui.

Kenichi Amamiya was very curious what a ninja army corps would look like when facing Thermobaric Bombs and Fuel-Air Explosive Bombs.

"Still, the ninja world's top-tier Combat Power is very formidable. Just look at Madara Uchiha's Tengai Shinsei—that thing is no joke." Kenichi Amamiya licked his lips.

Before being transported here in his previous life, Kenichi Amamiya had researched why modern technology was so advanced, yet could not intercept meteors entering the atmosphere. Later, he discovered that humanity's technology truly could not accomplish that for the time being.

Any country that mastered such technology could be said to dominate Blue Star.

What if he could master it? Combining Starships with this kind of Space-Based Weapon—wouldn't dominating the ninja world be effortless then?

Besides, this world had Chakra. What kind of sparks would Chakra and technology create together?

At the thought, Kenichi Amamiya could barely suppress the restless excitement in his heart. He even wanted to try researching whether Chakra could be integrated into those powerful weapons.

For instance, what changes would a Thermobaric Bomb infused with Chakra undergo?

Unfortunately, he had no materials right now. Otherwise, Kenichi Amamiya would have conducted a major experiment in the center of Konoha in no time.

It would let Konoha witness history, too.

"Kenichi, what are you laughing about?" Kakashi looked strangely at his friend. They were already eating, yet Kenichi Amamiya was still laughing—and very strangely at that.

"Hiss... it's nothing. I just thought of something happy." Kenichi Amamiya abruptly shook his head. He had spent the entire previous night unable to sleep well because he kept considering the feasibility of a Chakra Thermobaric Bomb.

For once, he had dark circles under his eyes.

It seemed he was not far from joining the ninja world's number-one boy band.

"What happy thing?" Kakashi became somewhat interested. Spending time with Kenichi Amamiya lately had dispelled a little of the gloom in his heart.

"It's nothing, nothing." Kenichi Amamiya waved his hand. All the jokes he knew were corny, and they depended on context. Saying them in Konoha would only make them seem strange.

Still, he had indeed seen some Konoha joke memes, like his teacher's social pics.

Kakashi curled his lips and continued eating his ramen.

Kenichi Amamiya glanced at Kakashi. During this period, Kakashi had not left the village or worn his mask. The Anbu seemed to have gone completely dormant.

Yet it was precisely that dormancy that told perceptive people something major was happening. Kushina Uzumaki's due date was approaching.

The seemingly peaceful Konoha was also about to face a raging storm. Speaking of which, Kenichi Amamiya had heard that news of Kushina Uzumaki's due date seemed to have been leaked by Kakashi.

Of course, that was only something video bloggers had analyzed in his previous life, so Kenichi Amamiya was not very sure himself. But he knew Kakashi really liked talking to himself in front of Obito and Rin Nohara's graves.

It was not strange for Obito to overhear him.

"Kakashi, do you want to come to my house and hang out at night for the next few days?" Kenichi Amamiya asked casually.

"Hang out doing what?" Kakashi paused, but still asked. He truly did not have much to do during this period.

His teacher had only told him to stay in Konoha and not go out. If he went to a friend's house to play, his teacher surely would not object.

"Of course, we'll log into D—no, I bought some really good books, and there are also some recently popular games." Kenichi Amamiya smiled with pure innocence.

The games in Konoha were naturally not video games, but paper or wooden games, similar to board games. They were quite popular.

And the one Kenichi Amamiya had bought was newly released and fairly popular as well.

"...Okay." Kakashi had originally wanted to refuse, since he still needed to train at night. But seeing the expectant look in his friend's eyes, he could not bear to refuse and agreed.

Kenichi Amamiya looked at Kakashi and smiled even more happily.

He did not know Kushina's delivery date, but keeping Kakashi at his house—or going to Kakashi's house himself—were both good options.

When something happened, the instant Kakashi was distracted would be the moment to obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Social pics isn't a typo. Everyone gets it.
