Naruto: Mission Tsunade – Time for Uncle to Step Up!

"Hey, where are you taking me?"

Pakura felt extremely embarrassed as she noticed the strange looks from the surrounding villagers.

After all, she was once the Kazekage, even though she wasn't anymore.

If you want to kill me, just do it. Why are you making me a public spectacle?

"Just follow me."

Orochimaru didn't even turn his head, his cold voice devoid of any emotion.

Pakura felt rebuffed and had no choice but to keep following.

After walking through a few streets, they arrived at a residential area.

Orochimaru went straight to a mansion, unlocked the door, and entered.

Pakura hesitated outside the door for a moment. Isn't he going to kill me?

"Go and take a shower first."

Orochimaru turned to look at Pakura, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

A dirty test subject can really ruin one's mood.

"What do you want to do?"

Pakura instinctively crossed her arms in front of her chest. She was well aware of her own looks.

"You're thinking too much. I'm just disgusted by your sloppiness."

Orochimaru scoffed. This woman really thought too highly of herself.

Just coming out of prison, she was disheveled and dirty. Did she really think he'd be interested in her?

"You're the one being..."

Pakura swallowed the word "sloppy" back. Orochimaru indeed looked clean.

He took a shower this morning after getting drunk last night. How could he not be clean!

If Pakura had seen Orochimaru, with mucus all over his body, crawling out of the snake's belly, only then would it not sound inappropriate to call him sloppy.

"Over there. Go by yourself."

Orochimaru was too lazy to waste any more words on her. He pointed in the direction of the bathroom and had no intention of leading her there himself.

Only then did Pakura slowly enter the mansion. Filled with confusion and a bit of anger, she walked in the direction Orochimaru had pointed.

"At least he has a bit of a conscience."

Orochimaru walked into the house, which was spotlessly clean.

He didn't even need to think to know that it was Nawaki's doing. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

He went to the kitchen and started preparing some food. He hadn't eaten since he started his busy day.

Meanwhile, Pakura found the bathroom, walked in, and locked the door from the inside.

In the small space, the unpleasant smell on her body became even stronger.

Pakura frowned and quickly stripped herself naked.

Her once fair skin had turned a bit blackish.

She turned on the shower and began to wash herself carefully.

The clear water poured down from the top of her head, flowing along the curves of her neck and over her breasts. By the time it hit the ground, it had turned black.

...

It took Pakura a long time to clean herself thoroughly.

Only then did she realize that she had no clothes to change into.

After searching for a long time, she picked up a large bathrobe and wrapped herself tightly in it.

As for her dirty clothes, there was no way she was going to wear them again.

After carefully checking to make sure there were no embarrassing slips, Pakura tiptoed out of the door.

Walking around the mansion, she didn't see a single servant, and she had no idea where Orochimaru was.

With her powers sealed, as an exchange condition for the surrender of the Land of Wind, she had no intention of escaping.

"Orochimaru."

She walked into the living room and called out tentatively.

There was no response. Just then, a delicious smell wafted over from a short distance away.

Following the smell, Pakura finally found Orochimaru in the dining room, cooking.

This somewhat sinister-looking man could actually cook. Pakura thought to herself that as a woman, she only knew how to eat.

"Take a seat. It'll be ready soon."

Orochimaru didn't put down the cooking utensils in his hand. Even the test subject (referring to Pakura) needs to eat her fill.

"Okay."

When under someone else's roof, one has to bow one's head. If Orochimaru wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as pie.

After Pakura agreed, she went to the table and sat cross-legged, carefully tucking in her bathrobe.

"Eat."

Orochimaru brought the food to the table and sat down opposite Pakura.

Only then did he notice that Pakura was wearing a bathrobe and exuding a faint fragrance.

After being cleaned up, Pakura's charm began to show.

Her slightly gaunt face didn't detract from her beauty.

Orochimaru suddenly remembered Tsunade's praise of Pakura.

Sure enough, she was a woman of considerable charm.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Pakura tightened her bathrobe a bit more and ate her meal leisurely.

"Go and buy some clothes for yourself later."

"You'll be spending the next year here."

Orochimaru shifted his gaze, showing no sign of embarrassment.

"What?"

Pakura was extremely surprised to hear this.

"What on earth is your purpose for bringing me here?"

A man and a woman staying together for a year, it was hard for her not to think too much.

"I want to research your Kekkei Genkai[b]Kekkei Genkai[/b]."

Orochimaru looked up at Pakura and said it straightforwardly without any concealment.

Pakura had no capital to refuse in front of him.

He had ten thousand ways to make her cooperate obediently. As long as she didn't die, it was okay!

"No problem with cooperating with you."

"But you have to take good care of me this year."

"The Kekkei Genkai[b]Kekkei Genkai[/b] isn't that easy to master."

Pakura didn't refuse and even bargained with Orochimaru.

"You don't have the right to bargain with me."

"Scorch Release[b]Scorch Release[/b], right?"

This time, Orochimaru didn't even lift his head. As long as Pakura cooperated, he wouldn't give her a hard time.

"Yes, it's a new nature transformation resulting from the combination of wind and fire attributes."

Pakura pursed her lips. He was really an inconsiderate guy.

"You're very powerful."

As a genius capable of using seven types of Chakra[b]Chakra[/b], Orochimaru must have attempted to develop the Kekkei Genkai[b]Kekkei Genkai[/b].

He just failed, that's why he praised Pakura.

"Thanks for the compliment."

The corners of Pakura's mouth involuntarily turned up a bit.

"Alright, eat slowly."

"Don't forget to wash the dishes."

After Orochimaru finished eating, he got up and left. Pakura nodded somewhat dazedly.

He cooked the meal, and she'd do the dishes. It seemed fair enough.

...

After coming out from washing the dishes, Pakura ran into Orochimaru.

"Take this money to buy things."

"Come back and write your training insights on this scroll."

Orochimaru handed a stack of money and a scroll to Pakura.

As for whether it was convenient for Pakura to go out in a bathrobe, that was none of his business.

"Okay."

Pakura took the things. Since there was no place to put them, she could only hold them in her hands.

"I'm going out. Do as you please."

Actually, Orochimaru wasn't worried about Pakura running away. In her current state, even if she wanted to, her strength wouldn't allow it.

The alert level in Konoha had been strengthened again, all thanks to the Cloud Ninjas.

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"You haven't arranged a room for me yet."

Pakura looked at Orochimaru's back and quickly called out.

"Pick one yourself. You can choose any room except mine."

Since Pakura was being so cooperative, Orochimaru's attitude improved a lot.

He casually waved his hand and walked out of the door, disappearing from Pakura's sight.

...

"I heard you brought Pakura home?"

Kawaki said with a teasing smile, nudging Orochimaru with his shoulder.

"That woman is very cooperative."

Orochimaru didn't mind Kawaki's joking words. Pakura was really at home starting to write down her insights on [Training].

Some things just couldn't be learned without sufficient talent. Having data wouldn't help.

So Pakura didn't hold back. If Orochimaru could really learn it, it was his own ability.

"Oh~ How cooperative is she?"

Kawaki became even more interested and the smile on his face grew wider.

He was the kind of guy around Orochimaru who could turn the topic inappropriate as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What are you thinking about? She agreed to help me research [Scorch Release]."

Orochimaru rolled his eyes. This guy was no better than Jiraiya.

"Come on, we're busy."

Tsunade interrupted them in time when she heard their conversation which was not suitable for children.

Then she kicked Kawaki out of the [Laboratory].

"Can't I stop talking?"

Kawaki looked at Tsunade pitifully.

"Too late. Go to sleep."

Tsunade closed and locked the [Laboratory] door, leaving no room for Kawaki.

"It's not impossible if you like her."

After Tsunade came back, her words left Orochimaru completely bewildered.

Birds of a feather flock together. These two are just the same kind of people.

"Don't worry about it."

Orochimaru took the [experiment records] and took a few steps away from Tsunade. Then he remembered the way Pakura looked in her bathrobe.

He quickly shook his head to get rid of that image and then calmed down to continue reading the [experiment records] in his hand.

Tsunade had done a very detailed job. Orochimaru was an expert too and soon got immersed in it.

The three of them had a clear division of labor. Tsunade was doing the experiments. Kawaki went to sleep. Orochimaru was still at the initial stage of getting familiar with the experiments.

He could only help Tsunade with the operation and research after he got familiar with it.

...

In the evening, Orochimaru went home.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Pakura standing not far away.

"If you didn't come back, I would have starved to death."

"And you won't be able to research [Scorch Release] anymore."

Maybe it was because Orochimaru's attitude towards her was too gentle.

Pakura grumbled at Orochimaru discontentedly right now.

"Didn't I give you money?"

As far as Orochimaru could remember, he gave Pakura quite a lot of money when he left at noon.

He wasn't a stingy person.

"I spent it all."

Pakura said righteously without any sign of guilt.

What was that little money compared to such a high - level thing as [Kekkei Genkai]?

"Spent it all? What did you buy?"

That money, no exaggeration, would be enough for Orochimaru to eat for a month.

"Buying clothes and all kinds of women's stuff."

"Do I need to go into details for you?"

Pakura lived alone and was used to being extravagant. This sum of money didn't really matter to her in the past.

"Fine, I'll go cook."

Orochimaru was learning about a woman's spending habits for the first time, not counting Tsunade's gambling.

"That's more like it."

"I finished writing the Scroll and put it in your room."

As Pakura said, she followed Orochimaru's steps. She was really hungry.

"Got it."

Orochimaru was quite helpless. Was he looking for an experimental subject or a living ancestor to serve?

...

Orochimaru's life after returning to the Village became very regular.

He commuted between the hospital and home.

He conducted research on cells at the hospital and on Kekkei Genkai at home.

Although Pakura didn't hold back anything, the research on the Kekkei Genkai progressed very slowly.

Orochimaru didn't know if he could succeed.

He could only train slowly based on Pakura's insights.

He slowly attempted to fuse the Chakra Nature Transformation[b]Chakra Nature Transformation[/b] of wind and fire attributes.

After a week, the two got along more and more harmoniously.

Besides being extravagant and not knowing how to cook, Pakura's personality suited Orochimaru's liking.

She never made any excessive requests, even though she knew Orochimaru could lift the seals on her.

Nawaki brought Misaki over several times, and Orochimaru gave Misaki a valuable gift.

He was quite satisfied with this girl from the Uzumaki Clan.
