With a terrifying child like Orochimaru here, Tobirama Senju no longer dared to go to the research institute.
Fortunately, the things Tobirama Senju supervised did not require constant attention, so he had some free time.
Still, simply sitting there watching Orochimaru was boring.
Although Orochimaru had described his life in the Dōjutsu Space in the simplest terms, he had left out all the details.
Tobirama Senju decided to keep Orochimaru company and talk to him.
But after hearing what Orochimaru had to say, Tobirama Senju was utterly astounded.
He thus decided that Yanbai absolutely could not be allowed to educate children again.
Judging by Orochimaru's memories of his "childhood," he thought being a parent in that world was a very strange business.
The people in that world were forever singing the praises of parents' selfless sacrifices.
At the drop of a hat, they called on the six wallets of the parents and grandparents.
It was as though, from the moment a child was born, the parents ceased to be people. They became so-and-so's dad and so-and-so's mom, and the purpose of the rest of their lives was to get their child to max level and move up the social ladder.
In that environment, Madara Uchiha had been influenced at first, too.
Later, Madara Uchiha realized something was wrong and changed his approach to raising Orochimaru.
However, while Madara Uchiha could change himself to suit the actual circumstances, he could not change the broader environment.
And so that absurd environment left the younger generation afraid of marriage and parenthood.
In that world of rapidly advancing technology, life moved at a frantic pace. Ordinary people were exhausted, and nobody wanted to fawn over anyone else-not a partner, not a child. Stay out of relationships, and you had none of that crap to
