Chapter 304: Satisfied Hand

Konoha Hospital.

Senju Tobirama withdrew his hand and frowned.

Although he had conducted countless human experiments, he had never seen a situation like that of Chuan Zang lying on the hospital bed.

The body was still breathing and alive with considerable activity, but there was no will or memory in the mind, and the child's complete soul could not be detected.

The vague soul connection only means that the child is not dead yet, but the soul seems to be floating away all the time, as if it is not in the body at all.

It's like a broken soul that has been pulled by the god of death.

Although Tobirama Senju is not a member of the Uzumaki clan, he certainly knows that the Shiki Fuujin is recorded in the Book of Seals.

With his powerful chakra and perception ability, Senju Tobirama is fully capable of detecting the soul state of a ninja by his own ability, just like Kato Dan's spiritual transformation technique, Senju Tobirama was also able to sense it.

"Nidaime-sama, how is it?"

Orochimaru stood quietly behind Senju Tobirama and asked slowly with a thoughtful look.

He is a person very similar to Senju Tobirama, with the same caution, the same hawkish views, and the same love of research.

It’s just that Senju Tobirama’s will is more inclined towards collective development, while Orochimaru is more inclined to be prudent and protect himself.

Therefore, if Orochimaru hasn't figured out something himself, he doesn't mind letting Senju Tobirama take a look at it. By verifying each other's findings, they might come up with new results.

Unfortunately, Senju Tobirama shook his head.

"This state has never been seen before, and this is your business. I am just a dead person."

Orochimaru nodded.

Although the Impure World Reincarnation of Senju Tobirama can maintain his consciousness, this technique has not yet been perfected. It is good enough for Senju Tobirama to be able to exert one-third of his peak strength now. Moreover, without the existence of the suppression talisman, the body of this Impure World Reincarnation of Senju Tobirama will not last long.

(The bodies used for Impure World Transformation vary, and the strength of those who are released from the Impure World will also fluctuate. For example, the strength of Impure World Madara can surpass his original body, but the strength of the Impure World Four Kage is greatly reduced. If the corpse used is too rotten, not only will the strength be low, but the Impure World Body may only be immortal, not immortal.)

"I understand, Nidaime-sama. Do you want to visit other places in Konoha?"

Orochimaru is not someone who is good at taking credit for things, and since he is already the Hokage, he does not need to take credit for things from anyone.

But the person in front of him is the founder of Konoha. Being recognized by this person must mean that there is nothing wrong with what he has done as Hokage.

"Okay, I just saw a reform plan for Konoha School on your desk. It's a good idea, but..."

Swah——

Senju Tobirama disappeared into the room.

"Orochimaru."

Gu Zang's old voice appeared in the ward.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, although Mr. Gu Zang seemed to be unemployed in the old house, he had actually been paying attention to the village's dynamics intentionally or unintentionally, especially the important Konoha Hospital!

"I sense a familiar chakra, Orochimaru, something's going on here."

Gu Zang's figure was lying quietly at the head of Chuan Zang's bed, as if he had always been lying there.

Senju Tobirama, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked.

When did this old bug Gu Zang become so fast? If he hadn't been alert to the traces of chakra moving quickly, he might not have been able to hide when Gu Zang appeared.

"Mr. Gu Zang, is there anything wrong with your perception? I just want to try a new method to see if it can save Chuan Zang. There is no one else here."

Orochimaru didn't know why Senju Tobirama didn't see Kozo, but he knew that Senju Tobirama must not have left here, so it was within his ability to help the second generation hide in good faith.

"Is that so... It seems that I am really so old that my perception has become problematic. Orochimaru, if anything happens, you must inform me immediately. I can still fight for Konoha once more."

Orochimaru twitched his lips, but still nodded rationally to Gu Zang to show that he understood.

This "fight again"...how many times have you said it?

Gu Zang slowly turned around, looked at Chuan Zang, and sighed.

"Alas... old man..."

Then there was no movement.

Just like that, Gu Zang lay on the head of the bed, motionless, Kawazang lay there breathing steadily, Orochimaru didn't dare to leave casually, Senju Tobirama hid in the dark, and the three people and one insect were deadlocked here.

After a while, Gu Zang suddenly trembled.

"Hmm? Did I fall asleep again? Orochimaru, remember..."

"Fight again."

Orochimaru felt that Senju Tobirama in the dark might be getting a little impatient waiting, so he quickly responded to Gu Zang's slow voice.

"Yes, you are much more sensible than the monkey, hehe..."

While laughing, Gu Zang disappeared at the head of the bed.

After Gu Zang disappeared for a while, Senju Tobirama slowly walked out from the darkness of the room.

"Nidaime-sama..."

Orochimaru was actually very curious about why Tobirama Senju didn't see Kozo.

"It's not appropriate to publicize it. The Impure World Reincarnation technique can only be revealed at a critical moment."

Senju Tobirama reached out to stop Orochimaru's questioning and took the initiative to explain.

But in fact, Senju Tobirama didn't want Gu Zang to know that he had been summoned.

It is Senju Tobirama's style to act in the dark and wait for opportunities to arise. It has always been his elder brother who plays his cards openly.

"understood."

Orochimaru understood that Senju Tobirama's reason was not reasonable, but there was no need to ask further questions, as they were all smart people.

"Well, have you ever thought about killing Kawanzo and then resurrecting him through the Impure World Reincarnation method to control Hiruko?"

Senju Tobirama seemed to have mentioned a very useful method inadvertently, but Orochimaru did not answer immediately.

For a moment, the air in the ward seemed to be stagnant, with only Chuan Zang's steady breathing remaining.

After a few seconds, it was Senju Tobirama who spoke first.

"Take me to see Konoha School."

"Yes."

Orochimaru bowed slightly and left immediately.

Not answering is actually the answer. This does not meet Senju Tobirama's expectations for the Hokage, but it meets the expectations of Senju Tobirama himself. Sometimes, you have to do whatever it takes.

Orochimaru's personality is very much to Senju Tobirama's liking, especially when it comes to dealing with Kawazo.

Judging from the perfection of the Impure World Reincarnation, Orochimaru could have done what Tobirama Senju said a long time ago. He must have thought about doing so, but he didn't. This means that before that time came, Orochimaru still retained the sense of justice necessary for being Hokage.

Even if this fairness is not brought about by personal character but given by professional responsibility, it exists and we should judge things by deeds rather than by intentions.

Overall, Tobirama Senju was very satisfied with Orochimaru, the Fourth Hokage.
