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

"The Two-Tailed Jinchūriki is on a cliff near the coast in the southern part of the village."

"There are guards there, which is a bit of a hassle."

"Only when the Two-Tailed Beast goes berserk do the Sealing Team members need to step in."

"If we just grab the Two-Tailed Beast and leave, we can choose to attack by force."

"If you have other plans, then we need to think it over."

Orochimaru didn't know how big Kawaki's appetite was. He wondered if one Jinchūriki could satisfy him.

With Kawaki's Flying Thunder God[b]Flying Thunder God[/b], he wasn't worried about being trapped and unable to escape.

"You really know me."

"Let's take our time."

Kawaki smiled. How could one Two-Tailed Jinchūriki satisfy his appetite?

"I knew you were a jerk."

Orochimaru dissed Kawaki again.

"Haha～"

Instead of being ashamed, Kawaki burst into laughter.

After discussing business, both of them felt a bit hungry.

"Can you cook?"

Orochimaru came to the kitchen and saw a lot of ingredients, which were more than enough for the two of them.

"I can eat."

Kawaki answered without hesitation.

"I owe you one."

Orochimaru grumbled and started to deal with the ingredients.

As he expected, it would be a miracle if a young master from a wealthy family could cook.

That meal he made in the Land of Rain was probably his best shot at cooking.

"I love you. Mwah!"

In front of Orochimaru, Kawaki let himself go.

He gave Orochimaru a cheesy finger-heart with a straight face, which really creeped Orochimaru out.

"Get out of here."

Orochimaru got goosebumps all over his body because of Kawaki. He was almost vomiting.

He quickly recalled Pakura's beautiful face in his mind to get rid of that disgusting scene.

"Sure thing."

Kawaki obediently disappeared from Orochimaru's sight and found a blind spot to stay.

Since there was ready-made food, it would be wrong of him to keep annoying the other person.

Not long after, they heard Orochimaru shouting in the kitchen.

"Hey, come and carry the dishes."

Orochimaru, who was usually polite, didn't even address him as 'Kawaki-kun' anymore and just referred to him anonymously.

"Coming."

Kawaki wasn't angry at all. It wasn't a big deal.

It'll be fine after Aunt Snake calms down.

He came to the kitchen and took two plates from Orochimaru.

Have to say, this bachelor's cooking skills were really good. No wonder Pakura almost fell for him while eating his food.

"Delicious."

Kawaki sincerely praised.

"Get out quickly."

Orochimaru kicked Kawaki on the butt.

"A gentleman uses words, not fists. Don't you know that?"

This was the second time Kawaki had been kicked by Orochimaru. He wasn't a pushover.

"Hehe～"

Orochimaru squeezed past Kawaki with two bowls of rice in his hands. Didn't Kawaki know why he was kicked?

"We're from the same village. Give me some face, will you?"

Kawaki got rebuffed. Knowing he was in the wrong, he followed Orochimaru to the table and sat down.

"Sorry, I never give anyone face."

Orochimaru's arrogant expression was fully displayed. He was really charming.

It was just that this face of a Cloud Ninja really detracted from his image.

Two people who were extremely bored started bickering when serving the dishes and didn't stop until they finished eating.

Immaturity is indeed contagious. Orochimaru felt like Kawaki had seriously dragged his IQ down.

"Shut up and go to bed early. We have to gather information about Burubi tomorrow."

Orochimaru managed to retain a bit of his IQ. He got up, left the room, and headed to the next house.

Fortunately, these two guys were bachelors. Otherwise, it would really be hard to explain things to their families.

A peaceful night passed.

The next day, Kawaki and Orochimaru followed the daily routines of the two Cloud Ninjas and started their day.

They simply had breakfast and walked towards the Raikage Building together.

Yota Katsumura's Sealing Team[b]Sealing Team[/b] had recently been researching the Sealing Technique[b]Sealing Technique[/b] in the Raikage Building, hoping to improve the Iron Armor Sealing a bit more.

They hadn't captured Kushina. So they had to rely on their own wits.

Sousuke Kitahara, as an ordinary ninja, worked as a clerk in the Raikage Building.

That's why his combat ability was so weak.

"Watch your words and actions. Talk less and listen more."

Orochimaru had said this sentence no less than ten times, and Kawaki was already extremely annoyed.

He grumbled to himself more than once about when Orochimaru had gotten so naggy.

"Got it, got it."

Based on the information provided by Orochimaru, Kawaki slowly arrived at the office where the Sealing Team[b]Sealing Team[/b] was located.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw that there were already some people inside.

But not everyone had arrived yet. Only a few people were looking at scrolls here and there.

Some of them greeted Kawaki.

He casually brushed them off as he really didn't know their names.

To avoid attracting attention, he took a scroll and sat down in an empty corner.

He glanced at the densely written knowledge about the Sealing Technique[b]Sealing Technique[/b] on it.

Compared to what Tsunade had told him, it seemed rather superficial.

He pretended to keep reading while paying attention to the movements in the room.

Not long after, everyone had arrived.

Led by the team leader, everyone started to continue discussing yesterday's topic.

How could they let the Jinchūriki[b]Jinchūriki[/b] use the Tailed Beast Chakra[b]Tailed Beast Chakra[/b] to the fullest? And at the same time, how could they strengthen the Tailed Beast Sealing[b]Tailed Beast Sealing[/b]?

This research direction was quite good, but the foundation of the Cloud Ninjas was really lacking.

It was very difficult to upgrade their original Iron Armor Sealing to that level.

Kawaki thought it sounded a bit like the effect of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style[b]Eight Trigrams Sealing Style[/b].

"Yota, what's your opinion?"

The team leader frowned and asked when he saw that Kawaki had been silent.

In this kind of thing, they needed to pool everyone's wisdom. What was he doing by not saying a word?

"Um~"

Since he had been called out, Kawaki couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. He thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"This research direction is good, but shouldn't we base it on reality?"

"What do you mean?"

The team leader frowned even more. He didn't quite understand what Yota Katsumura was saying today.

Under the questioning, Kawaki had no choice but to continue answering reluctantly, hoping that he wouldn't be exposed so soon.

Otherwise, Orochimaru would really hold it against him for a lifetime!!

"I mean, we're just doing armchair strategizing here."

"Why don't we ask Lord Burubi to spare some time to come and join us."

"We need to personally sense the Iron Armor Sealing[b]Iron Armor Sealing[/b] on him to make more practical changes."

Kawaki's words were reasonable and not excessive.

Improving the Iron Armor Sealing[b]Iron Armor Sealing[/b] was an order personally given by the Raikage. There was nothing suspicious about asking Burubi to come and cooperate.

"I'm just afraid that Lord Burubi doesn't have the time."

The squad leader pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision.

"Sato, go and find Lord Burubi to see if he has the time."

"Yes."

A short and stocky Cloud Ninja took the order and left.

Kawaki didn't know if Burubi would come. If the Two - Tailed Jinchūriki[b]Two - Tailed Jinchūriki[/b] was a trouble now, then he was an important combat force in Kumogakure.

Eliminating him would have a better effect than abducting a Two - Tailed Jinchūriki[b]Two - Tailed Jinchūriki[/b].

"Okay, let's continue the discussion."

"Let's talk about other things after Lord Burubi comes."

The squad leader and the others began to have an in - depth discussion again, and Kawaki became invisible again.

...

Orochimaru also went to Sousuke Kitahara's workplace based on the information from the interrogation.

Due to his poor strength, what he usually came into contact with in his work were just some unimportant documents.

The most he did was probably running errands.

Shortly after Orochimaru sat down, someone called out Sousuke Kitahara's name.

"Here."

Orochimaru responded.

"Sousuke Kitahara, take this document to the Raikage's office."

Orochimaru wanted to decline, but seeing the man order him around as if it were routine, he guessed that's what Sousuke Kitahara usually did.

"Okay, sir."

The man looked at Orochimaru suspiciously. He didn't add his name today.

But it wasn't a big deal. He nodded and told Orochimaru to go and deliver it quickly.

Holding a document, Orochimaru actually began to feel a little nervous. If he was discovered, wouldn't he be laughed at by Kawaki-kun for a lifetime?

Following the signpost, he walked to the door of the Raikage's office. Orochimaru composed himself before knocking on the door.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Come in."

When Orochimaru pushed the door open, he saw the Raikage sitting there boldly, much more imposing than his teacher.

"Sousuke Kitahara is here to deliver documents again."

"Put it on the table."

Obviously, the Raikage was also familiar with Sousuke Kitahara.

Adhering to the principle of speaking less to avoid errors, Orochimaru only gave a soft "um".

Then he walked up to the Raikage and put the document on the table.

He suddenly saw two photos on the table with two big red crosses on them. They were him and Kawaki.

"What, have you seen them?"

Seeing Orochimaru in a daze for a moment, the Raikage took the initiative to ask.

"No, I just took a second look out of curiosity."

Orochimaru's heart raced. If he were exposed at such close range, he might not be able to withstand this guy's attack.

"Oh, two bastards from Konoha."

"If you see them, stay far away and report them immediately."

The Raikage didn't suspect anything. He couldn't even imagine that Kawaki and Orochimaru had sneaked into the Raikage Building.

The people he had sent out were still searching for information everywhere, and they even thought the two hadn't come yet.

"Okay, Lord Raikage."

"I'll go down first."

Seeing the Raikage wave him off, Orochimaru spun around and walked out.

After he stepped out, he found cold sweat on his forehead.

Damn black bastard, how dare he curse at me. I'll tear your Kumogakure apart.

Orochimaru wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and headed to his work post.

Orochimaru didn't mind Kawaki's idea of going after Burubi. Unfortunately, he didn't know when the right opportunity would arise.

Once back at his post, he started dealing with some documents absent - mindedly.

Luckily, as a disciple of the Hokage, he could handle these simple things without any learning.

He didn't mess up at work and arouse suspicions about his identity.

Orochimaru hoped Kawaki wouldn't screw things up. He'd already shown up in front of the Raikage.

Kawaki watched as Burubi was led into the room by Sato.

His face looked a bit gloomy, and what he said next shocked everyone.

"Seeing Jonar getting weaker day by day affects me too."

"Lately, I've always been thinking about how terrifying death is. The Eight - Tailed Beast in me has also been a bit restless."

"Can the Iron Armor Sealing[b]Iron Armor Sealing[/b] on me be strengthened some more?"

Kawaki's eyes brightened when he heard that. He didn't expect such good fortune. The more he was affected by the Eight - Tailed Beast, the greater Kawaki's chance of success.
