Chapter 90 Naruto: I Have a Plan
"So, Bai Mojun, what should we do first? Should we go find the 'Dragon Vein'?"
Back in the lab, Orochimaru asked Bai Mo.
After learning about parts of the future, Orochimaru now has many ideas, but he is still very clear that helping Bai Mo solve his problems is the most important thing.
Orochimaru was also relieved that he hadn't done anything unusual to Bai Mo during the Konoha Crush plan.
"There's no rush, and I can go by myself."
Bai Mo shook his head slightly. "Orochimaru, I remember you cultivated the Eight-Tails' cells, right?"
Orochimaru just mentioned in Ryuchi Cave that the natural generation of basic elements in the white ink cells may require stellar-level energy.
This is not some kind of anomaly.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that this was how it was in Bai Mo's previous life.
Even elements like hydrogen and helium, which Orochimaru still doesn't understand, require a cosmic explosion-level process to be produced.
It can be said that every living being on Earth at that time was like this.
The fact that Orochimaru made such a remark indicates that the creatures in the ninja world are different.
As one of the few researchers in this field in the ninja world, Orochimaru's statements are highly authoritative.
But this didn't surprise Bai Mo.
In a world with extraordinary powers, it's possible that living beings are created by a "creator," and it wouldn't be surprising if the basic elements were only wind, fire, earth, and water.
Putting aside everything else, the existence of the mysterious substance "chakra" alone is enough to illustrate this point.
The wonder of chakra lies not in the fact that it is a form of energy for cultivation, but in the various amazing qualities it possesses.
It can transmit information, carry souls, and merge powers.
For example, the only character in Boruto who didn't give up was Kurama, the Nine-Tails, who developed the Heavy Particle Mode. The prerequisite was that his chakra and Naruto's chakra were in harmony.
So don't ask why Himawari's special constitution in Boruto surprised even the resurrected Nine-Tails, who thought she wasn't a Jinchuriki but more like a materialized chakra.
In short...
The Nine-Tails also finished.
At this point, Bai Mo thought of the Eight-Tails cells cultivated by Orochimaru.
Tailed beasts, as representatives of chakra materialization, do indeed possess something called "cells".
-
"Eight-tailed cells? I didn't expect you to know even that, Bai Mo-jun. It seems I have no secrets from you when you know the future."
Orochimaru sighed, then smiled with relief.
Thirty years ago, Orochimaru went to Kumogakure to drug the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, causing the Eight-Tails to go berserk. He then took advantage of the chaos to steal some of the Eight-Tails' cells and horns, and after years of cultivation, he has grown a giant horn.
This was a secret that neither the Hidden Cloud Village nor Orochimaru would ever reveal, yet Bai Mo found out easily.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. If you still have spies or informants in Konoha, don't bring them back."
While Orochimaru was reminiscing, Bai Mo thought of something else.
"Oh? Why?"
Orochimaru snapped out of his daze and, after a moment's thought, realized why Bai Mo had said that. "Bai Mo-kun, you don't trust Tsunade?"
Before parting ways, Bai Mo instructed Tsunade to immediately notify them if she encountered Sasuke from the future.
Now they're telling him not to withdraw his informants.
Doesn't that mean they don't believe Tsunade will inform them?
"It's not that I don't trust her, but that she won't completely trust us."
Bai Mo shook his head. "Orochimaru, as her teammate, don't you understand her personality?"
From Konoha's perspective, Tsunade, as the Hokage of Konoha, is ranked alongside the Second Hokage as one of the most qualified.
Aside from having a few bad habits, there are almost no problems.
When Pain invaded, he described how small countries were oppressed by large countries. Tsunade could completely refrain from empathy and simply say from Konoha's perspective, "We, the great country, also suffered," which left Nagato speechless and caused a major uproar.
In the Infinite Tsukuyomi, in Tsunade's fantasy world, Yahiko wasn't killed by Konoha, but by Deidara. Anyone connected to Konoha can be exonerated.
The final bosses turned into Deidara and Sasori, and they also turned the other Kage into puppets.
Anything related to Konoha can be wrapped into sushi for a happy reunion.
Under this "Konoha-centric" mindset, if it were only Bai Mo, Tsunade might still choose to trust him for the common safety of Konoha and the ninja world.
But besides Bai Mo, Sasuke and Boruto will also arrive in the future, and Tsunade will obviously trust the latter, who are both Konoha ninjas, more.
Orochimaru gradually came to this realization as well.
"This is Tsunade's strength, and also her weakness."
Orochimaru looked up at the window with a complicated expression. "Tsunade should be getting treatment for her hemophobia, right? Maybe her treatment will be in vain."
Orochimaru said this without intending to remind his former teammate of his thoughts.
Firstly, this must be part of Bai Mo's plan.
Secondly, people can't teach each other, but experience can teach people in one go; once is enough.
Talking is useless. For some people, change is only possible after they experience things firsthand.
-
Leaf.
"Achoo!"
Tsunade, who was teaching Sakura and Ino medical ninjutsu while wearing sunglasses, sneezed and rubbed her nose.
Meanwhile, not far away, Jiraiya and Naruto were hiding on the rooftop outside, spying on what was happening inside.
"It's all your fault, Naruto, that I have to stay in the village."
"What's it to me, you lecherous immortal? Take me to cultivate!"
"Screw you! See that companion of yours? Once she learns super strength from Tsunade, she'll break several of your ribs with one punch!"
Let me out of the village! I want to see my older sister! I'm not in the mood to teach you without a pretty older sister!
"..."
Naruto, looking constipated, squatted on the roof, racking his brains for a solution.
He had already tried using magic to transform himself into a beautiful girl these past few days. It worked at first, but it stopped working as time went on.
Are we looking for Konohamaru and the others?
That probably won't work either.
Fun fact: The only woman in Naruto who ever used the Seduction Technique is Moegi.
This is a classic example of someone who was young and ignorant, and was led astray by Naruto.
"I've got it! Hey, I have a plan!"
Naruto suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he stood up.
"What? Where is it? Shout it out!"
Jiraiya, who was feeling dejected, heard Naruto's words and his eyes lit up instantly. He stood up and looked around expectantly.
But there were rooftops all around, and nothing else.
"Take out what?"
Naruto was stunned.
"A prostitute? Didn't you say you had one...?"
"I had a plan."
"Huh? Oh. Tch."
Jiraiya was instantly disappointed and sat down again.
