After escaping the sight of Konoha's fiery little pepper, Ye Feng unwittingly found himself in the crowded Commercial Street, but he had no idea whom to target.
The clans in Konoha known to possess Yang Release abilities were the Senju Clan and the Akimichi Clan.
The Akimichi Clan ate to store energy in their fat. When necessary, they could unleash the Yang Release attribute in their muscles to enlarge their bodies. However, this ninjutsu depended on eating and becoming fat, which Ye Feng did not particularly like. Besides, everyone in the Akimichi Clan seemed to have a screw loose and was rather difficult to communicate with.
That left only Tsunade of the Senju Clan. But the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan had once been mortal enemies. Even though the First had forcibly brought them together, the Senju Clan had no favorable impression of the Uchiha. If he went to Tsunade, he might end up on the receiving end of her monstrous strength.
Ye Feng thought, What do I have that could win Tsunade over? A cure for hemophobia? Bringing Senju Nawaki back to life? Wait, shouldn't Tsunade be gambling outside the village right now? I can't even meet her, so how could I persuade her? I'd better go find Orochimaru and ask him for some ideas, and check whether he's obtained the forbidden techniques I wanted.
Arriving at Orochimaru's Residence, he made his way down to the Underground Laboratory with practiced ease. Sure enough, Orochimaru was there. He seemed to spend all his time experimenting. Ye Feng used to hear reports of Orochimaru's appearances, but now it felt as though he had vanished from Konoha.
"Lord Orochimaru, have you not left the laboratory at all lately?" Ye Feng could not help asking when he saw how tired Orochimaru looked.
