A few months later.
Konoha.
Deep under the Hokage building.
By order of Yeruashi, a secret laboratory was built here specifically for Orochimaru.
Now Orochimaru holds the position of captain of the scientific department of Konoha.
In one of the rooms of the laboratory.
Yeruashi lowered his hand and nodded: "Done.»
Kimimaro stood in front of him with an extremely pale face, but at this moment, his skin began to quickly regain its normal color, and his lips were no longer dry.
Seeing that Kimimaro's body was once again filled with life force, Orochimaru nodded to Yeruashi: "Thank you very much, Yeruashi.»
"No problem.»
Yeruashi smiled, " The improved Shikotsumyaku Genome is extremely rare and Kimimaro is most likely the last carrier in the world. I can't let such an improved Genome disappear from the world, besides, Kimimaro is a great shinobi.»
In the last couple of years, Kimimaro's disease has become increasingly severe. In search of a treatment method, Orochimaru turned to Tsunade, but even she found it difficult to cope with the disease, which arose due to the excessive strength of the Improved Genome.
Although she managed to find a method of treatment, but it required a complete purification of the meridian in Kimimaro's body, after which he would lose the ability to apply the chakra and cease to be a shinobi.
Such treatment does not make sense.
Kimimaro would rather die than lose his power completely.
In the end, not finding a method of treatment, Orochimaru decided to turn to Yeruashi.
For the current Yeruashi, of course, it was not difficult to cure this disease.
Kimimaro is now a member of Konoha's science department, and Yeruashi was not at all opposed to curing such a talented shinobi.
"Thank you to Lord Hokage.»
Kimimaro bowed to Yeruashi.
Yeruashi, a former student of Orochimaru and the legendary Shinobi who united the world, was one of the few people Kimimaro had a deep respect for.
Yeruashi looked at Kimimaro with a smile: "Don't let your Improved Genome disappear from this world.»
"I will not allow this, you can be sure, Lord Hokage!»
Kimimaro's eyes were filled with genuine admiration.
After the disease completely receded, Kimimaro believed that whatever goal was set, he would definitely succeed!
Yeruashi shook his head, "I don't mean that...you're fifteen years old, isn't it time to find a friend?»
"Ah...»
Kimimaro froze in shock.
Yeruashi chuckled and sauntered outside.
At that moment, he couldn't help but remember that Orochimaru was now a woman, but he didn't say anything, because he didn't want this child to be poisoned by Orochimaru.
Yeruashi, walking down the long, gloomy corridor, said slowly, " How is the research on Urashiki Ootsutsuki's remains progressing?»
"The first experiments were successful.»
Orochimaru, who was following Yeruashi, said with undisguised admiration: "Although the cells of the First Hokage are an order of magnitude more powerful, but the cells of Urashiki Ootsutsuki are much more stable and have a much lower probability of getting out of control, these cells are able to moderately but steadily increase the strength of the body.»
Yeruashi nodded, " No wonder, because the Yang attribute in the cells of the First Hokage is too large, so it is extremely difficult to stabilize it without the Uchiha Clan's bloodline, and the cells of the Ootsutsuki Clan are more balanced.»
After saying that, Yeruashi looked at Orochimaru: "Are you satisfied with the number of test subjects? If not, I can ask the Fire Country to send another batch.»
Currently, in the Land of Fire, life imprisonment and the death penalty are not capital punishment, because now there is another one above them-sending them to Orochimaru for experiments.
Yeruashi didn't want to see Orochimaru take on reckless experiments, just like what happened in the original.
Although if Orochimaru turns to Konoha, then there will definitely be Shinobi who are ready to become test subjects for the sake of strength, but Yeruashi did not consider it necessary, because this is the shinobi of Konoha, to allow them to participate on their own initiative, Orochimaru must first work out a certain basis and minimize the risks.
Criminals who receive a sentence that is one level higher than even the immediate death penalty tend to be serial and violent murderers, so Yeruashi felt that instead of simply dying, they could make a certain contribution.
Orochimaru demonically smiled: "Let them continue to send, test subjects are never superfluous, ke-ke-ke.»
Sannin understands Yeruasha's character perfectly.
He is merciless to his enemies, but relatively gentle to his people. For example, in the last year, the mortality rate on the Chuunin Exams tends to zero.
Orochimaru is not going to evaluate and express a personal opinion about the methods of Yeruashi.
No matter if it's a blood mist or almost zero mortality, Orochimaru has completely lost interest in running the village.
Now he seeks to explore the mysteries of the human body as deeply as possible.
"Good.»
Yeruashi nodded: "Then I'll go, contact me when the new results are ready.»
"Good.
...
After leaving Orochimaru's lab, Yeruashi returned to the Hokage's office.
Kakashi sat at his desk, sorting through a pile of documents.
About half a month ago, he stopped teaching Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
With the exception of the rather ordinary Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke are already close to the peak of Chuunin level, and even if they encounter an ordinary Junin, the two of them will have a decent chance of winning.
After leaving Kakashi's leadership, the trio began to freely accept and complete missions, and more recently, they applied to participate in the Chuunin Exam, while Kakashi began to gradually take over the duties of Yeruashi, preparing to become the next Hokage of Konoha.
"Is Hinata going to take part in the Chuunin Exam?»
Kakashi, who was sorting out the applications for the Chuunin Exam, looked at Yeruashi as he entered and asked.
Yeruashi walked over to him and looked at the pile of documents: "Chuunin exam...it wouldn't hurt for her to participate.»
Hinata is now a member of the Shadow Guards, but he is still a Genin, and the Chuunin Exam will be a great opportunity to advance.
"Then I'll enter her name.»
Kakashi nodded and entered Hinata's name into the document.
Seeing that the documents were processed almost completely and everything was done quite neatly, Yeruashi turned his gaze to Kakashi and grinned: "It seems that you have already adapted perfectly to the duties of the Hokage, in that case...it will be possible to transfer the position after the Chuunin Exam.»
Kakashi calmly replied: "You better watch your body.»
Yeruashi:"???»
I think Kakashi said something strange again...
Yeruashi was too lazy to pay attention to this negligent brother, so he calmly left the Hokage's office and returned to the top floor.
Kakashi shook his head as he watched Yeruashi leave, and went back to processing the paperwork.
In fact, with the effective support of Tsunade and Shikaku, the duties of the Hokage have become quite light and don't take up too much energy.
Although after his accession in office, Tsunade can stop to deal with affairs Konoha, that significantly will increase burden, but Kakashi quite not feared this.
He was much more worried about the enemy, which even frightened the Ancestress of the Chakra.
Kakashi didn't know when this enemy would descend on their world, or if Yeruashi would be able to deal with it.
