Naruto Orochimaru: I must win this time

40 years of Konoha

The Sannin was 30 years old, and the 7-year-old Kakashi was promoted to Chuunin and successfully worshiped Minato.

On this day, Orochimaru came back from working overtime at the research institute.

When he entered the door, he saw Tsunade passed out drunk at the dining table, and Shizune was packing away the empty wine bottles on the dining table with a helpless look on her face.

Orochimaru was used to this situation, and as Shizune grew up, Tsunade had more and more free time.

Naturally, she became idle and returned to her muddleheaded days of drinking.

Orochimaru didn't have any good solutions to this situation. Everyone had their own things to do. Jiraiya also had to teach his disciples and go out to collect information every three days.

I am at the research institute all day long and have no time to care about her. I guess I only have to let her become Hokage so I don't have much time to think about it!

"Uncle Snake, you're back!"

Shizune looked at Orochimaru helplessly. She could accompany Tsunade after school, but she couldn't stop Tsunade from drinking one cup after another.

"Well, let me do it!"

With that said, he stepped forward and picked up the unconscious Tsunade. His skillful movements showed that this was not the first time he had done this.

Although Shizune is almost 8 years old, her strength is still too weak, and the weight of an adult is still too much for her.

"The rest is up to you."

After putting Tsunade on the bed, Shizune left the task of wiping her face with slippers. It was more appropriate for a girl to do this kind of thing.

Looking at Tsunade who was sleeping soundly, Orochimaru also had a look of helplessness on his face. His heart ailments still needed a medical doctor, and her heart problems still had to be solved by herself.

"Well, please Uncle Snake, I'll keep an eye on it tonight."

Shizune fetched a basin of water and came to the bed, said something to Orochimaru and then started to mind her own business.

When she first took Shizune over, she was watched by Tsunade because she was still young, and she has lived in the same room with her since she was a child.

Now it was the other way around, it was Shizune's turn to look at Tsunade. Every time she drank too much and felt nauseated at night or drank water, Shizune was always busy, which made her worry a lot.

Looking at this room decorated by Shizune in a girlish style, there are pictures of Tsunade, Orochimaru and Shizune hanging on the wall, and of course there are pictures of the Sannin and Minato in the same frame.

These were all taken during the autumn outing. Orochimaru himself also had a copy, but he didn't hang it up.

Slowly closing the door, Orochimaru came to his bedroom.

"It's time to further improve your strength!"

Orochimaru took out a bottle of light green potion from his arms, held the potion in front of his eyes and shook it.

This was the cell fusion potion of Mito Uzumaki that he secretly prepared.

Based on the correct formula, it is not difficult to develop this medicine. What is difficult is to prepare the medicine to a perfect level and completely solve the side effects of the medicine.

It is also critical to test the most appropriate dosage for different body weights, different body strengths and different cell activities.

How to maximize the effect of the medicine and obtain a perfect body is Orochimaru's pursuit.

Without hesitation, Orochimaru injected the results of more than a year of research into his body.

There is no violent reaction after the medicine enters the body. This medicine is not as overbearing as Hashirama's cell medicine, but gradually changes and assimilates the body's cells in a gentle way.

It would take some time to completely transform, but what Orochimaru didn't lack most was time.

It was also because of this relatively mild method that he dared to carry out this kind of experimental transformation at home, and even the medicine was secretly prepared in his own laboratory.

After the injection of the medicine was completed, a feeling of powerlessness came from Orochimaru's body.

During the period when the medicine was transforming his own cells, he could not use his abilities, not even chakra.

This also proves that he will become unprecedentedly weak, no different from a commoner. If a genin attacks him, he probably won't be able to handle it.

"It seems like you have to keep a low profile lately, so you don't accidentally capsize in the gutter!"

Orochimaru is not worried. In Konoha, as long as Danzo doesn't cause trouble, he basically has nothing to worry about.

Fame can sometimes bring disaster, and sometimes it can be a talisman.

Feeling an unprecedented sense of weakness, he couldn't help but think of his civilian life in his previous life.

The world without powers and chakra is gone forever.

"I can't believe it has been nearly 6 years since I came to this world. Time flies so fast!"

Thinking about it, Shizune had not yet been weaned when she first came here. Now she is over seven years old, and six years still cannot change anything!

The half-dead Tsunade, Jiraiya who is dedicated to training the son of prophecy, and himself, a scientific researcher who is still on the path of research.

The inertia of the plot is really too great. It is so difficult to change a person's fate. I am just struggling in the long river of fate.

Amid all kinds of thoughts, Orochimaru fell asleep slowly, and Xiaobai beside him also leaned against his cheek and closed his eyes.

Things in the world are slow and flowing, and only a dream comes to an end.

Early the next morning, Shizune came to the kitchen as usual, but she didn't find the bento that Orochimaru had prepared for her as usual.

"Uncle Snake didn't cook today?"

After searching around, I didn't find my lunch, and I looked at the kitchen and there was no sign of fire early in the morning.

When she arrived at the restaurant and looked at the clean dining table, Shizune was finally convinced that the usual unbeatable bento would be ruined today.

Orochimaru is usually busy, but no matter how busy he is, he will never fail to make lunch for her. At most, he will make dinner late, but there is something unusual today.

"Did Uncle Snake oversleep?"

With some doubts, Shizune came to Orochimaru's door and knocked on the door.

"Uncle Snake, are you still at home?"

After knocking on the door several times, there was no response. Shizune simply turned the door handle and left the door open.

He pushed it in gently and saw Orochimaru lying on the bed through the crack in the door.

"It turns out he overslept. Forget it, let's not disturb his rest."

Just when she thought Orochimaru was simply sleeping in and was about to close the door, something suddenly occurred to her:

"No, why is Uncle Snake's face so red today? Could it be that he has a fever?"

Thinking of this, Shizune couldn't care less and just opened the door and ran in.

Orochimaru's pale skin is very recognizable, and his flushed face is a rare sight on him.

"Oh why is it so hot!!"

As soon as she touched Orochimaru's forehead, Shizune immediately withdrew her hand.

Realizing that Orochimaru was really sick, Shizune quickly ran to the next room to look for Tsunade.

It is a child's nature to seek out their parents whenever something goes wrong, and at this time, only Tsunade, the medical ninja, is the backbone.
