Chapter 93 - The Mystery

Room. Candle. Two bodies...

One of them, snoring, contentedly tossed in his sleep, and the other Tetsuya... who squints contentedly at the ceiling.

Looking out the window, he determined by the sun that it was already noon.

- "It's time to visit Hiruzen." – the guy nodded to himself and got up, began to dress

When he was dressed, he bent over Mito and kissed him on the forehead for the last time.

At the exit from the Uzumaki residence, as usual, he threw on a henge, so as not to cause unnecessary turbulence, while slowly walking through the streets of Konoha to Hokage.

Tetsuya could instantly appear in Hiruzen's office, but today he just wanted to walk.

Walking along the main street and enjoying the beautiful weather, he was surprised to hear, and then saw, two energetic people in green – Come on, Guy! Five hundred more laps! –

– Oh~oh! – the little guy shouted energetically – I will show what I have achieved by training with sensei! If I don't run two thousand laps around the sleeping area, then I'll run them on my hands! –

– This is my son! The power of youth is boiling in you! – brushing away crystal-clear fatherly tears of pride on the run, Dai shouted, in pursuit of Guy

Tetsuya was one of the few who looked at it with a smile.

– Sick... –

– Poor kid... –

– Come on! Look how happy they are! How much energy! Drink here like elderly grandmothers. a middle–aged woman said with a laugh to two girls while sweeping

– Hey, you're a grandmother yourself! –

– Don't you want a broom? –

– Ah! What are you doing! Remove the broom! –

– Mad! –

Admiring the beautiful picture of the beating with a broom, Tetsuya belatedly realized that a pale-skinned girl with unique snake eyes was standing four meters away from him, looking at him with interest.

"How did she recognize me? After all, I performed the technique perfectly and disguised the chakra..." –

At the same time, he applied the Look of Truth to the girl.

- "Orochi... surprisingly... Two rituals were not in vain. Hmm... Low temperatures... so you have snake weaknesses... Come on..." –

Thinking, Tetsuya activated the Emperor's Eyes and Rinne-sharingan's abilities were enhanced.

The system window slowly changed.

Guiltily ignoring the 'Relationship to the user', Tetsuya thought about the rest – "But now it has become quite useful. Mockuton... You got it from me. I don't think you even know it. The ability to regenerate is also from me, but the kinship with snakes... This confirms that the appearance of Orochi is not just so unique, although it was understandable... We need to find out more about this from Hiruzen. And yes, Orochi 'bi'... Should I be surprised by this?" –

Orochi approached Tetsuya with a slight blush on her cheeks - Hello. –

- hello. Tetsuya smiled, masking his excitement. –

A slight movement of the hand and a small seed flew into the Orochi

The girl instantly caught it and looked at it, asked confusedly – What is it? –

– A seed. Direct the chakra into it. –

– Why? –

– Just point. –

The girl, though she was confused, but still listened to the guy and directed the chakra into the seed – What is it? – she said softly, exhaling

Slowly, the seed began to germinate, and after a few seconds there was already a beautiful rose in Orochi's hand, which Tetsuya brought out. The bud is brighter and more beautiful. The fragrance is brighter and more tenacious. The spikes were missing.

"Is that you?" Thank you very much! I am very pleased! – almost choking, she said, lifting her head from the rose and looking at Tetsuya with a loving tender look

Meanwhile, Tetsuya tensed up – "B* ya! That's not what I wanted! That is, this, but I wanted to show her her own mokuton abilities in an original way! No, it's not bad either, I always don't mind pleasing Orochi, but not after my refusal! What the fuck!? Why is this happening to me? What should I say now? To say that it was she who sprouted the rose? Damn, why did I throw a rose seed at all? Zucchini should have been thrown ..." – he cursed mentally, and after a little thought, decided to somehow rectify the situation - I'm glad you liked it, however, that's not all. Stick this rose into the ground and direct the chakra again. –

– Like this? –

- Yes. And now the chakra... –

A few moments later, there was a large bush with beautiful roses at the edge of the street.

– Uh, is that me? – the girl asked incredulously, guessing before Tetsuya's message

- Yes. My mokuton has been passed on to you, use it to your health. However, your mockuton is much, much weaker than mine, so it's better not to use it unnecessarily in battle. –

– Amazing. – still impressed, she said

– Yeah. Well, I'm going to the Hokage. Tetsuya slowly stomped away towards the Kage residence, but who let him go so easily

– Wait. I'm with you, I also need to go to the Hokage residence. – the girl said when she caught up with Tetsuya with a smile

- OK. – he smiled back, wincing internally from the upcoming awkward walk

Hokage's Office

In a quiet environment, Sarutobi, smoking a pipe, heard someone knock – Come in. –

The door opened and Tetsuya entered – Good afternoon, sensei. –

– Good afternoon. Hiruzen smiled, nodding affably and making a sign to ANBU to leave them alone – Sit down. Let's talk. Sensei will give you some advice. –

The guy was surprised – Advice? What advice? –

– Well, what is it? – exhaling smoke, he replied with a grin – I know about your situation with Orochi. Didn't you come to your old and wise sensei for advice? –

– Well, no. – falling into a chair, Tetsuya said - Advice from a man who has lived his whole life with one woman soul to soul will be useless to me. Even Jirai's advice, in such a situation, will be more valuable. –

"Ho–ho, then, what did you want to talk to the teacher about?" –

Rinne-sharingan shone in Tetsuya–Sensei's eyes. It's time to unite the disparate world of Shinobi. –

Sarutobi froze for a moment.

Then he smoked in silence for ten seconds, until finally he said – I can't even imagine where the edge of your powers is. –

– To be honest, I don't know either. The guy chuckled, "Testing my power is too dangerous for the whole world. –

– I understand. – Hokage answered with a smile and pointed his finger at the student's new dojutsu – It looks powerful and fascinating. –

– As well as the abilities they give me. –

Tetsuya mentally used the Gaze of Truth and activated the Emperor's Eyes at the same time

"Time does not spare you, Sarutobi... It doesn't look impressive, but I think it's deceptive for a Shinobi nicknamed "Professor" Hmm, quite a lot of dedication, I'm surprised. Of course, he won't kill children with me, but..." –

– I understand it's time for Madara to occupy this office. – Sarutobi said quietly and thoughtfully – Well, I can't say that I'm not surprised. I thought about sitting in this chair for another year or two, and then handing it over to Uchiha, but nothing. It's time for me to finally rest. Spend more time with your wife and children. Finally a legitimate vacation. Hiruzen finished with a relaxed smile

– Wait a minute, Madara is not Hokage yet. Tetsuya shook his head with a smile

– We can say that it is already Hokage. No one will mind. Even the Uchiha will turn a blind eye to this, since it was you who proposed Madara's candidacy to me as a receiver. –

– And you yourself? –

Hiruzen was surprised – What am I myself? –

Tetsuya rolled his eyes – How do you feel about Madara and making him a Kage? –

– Hmm. – blew smoke through Kage's nose – At first I was extremely wary of this. In fact, five years ago, this idea seemed crazy to me. I was almost sure that Madara would figure out something that would threaten Konoha and you would be forced to send him to the Pure World, but Uchiha surprised me with his sincere desire to become a Hokage. Yes, not an ordinary Hokage, but at least one that will be better than my sensei, Tobirama Senju. –

– And? –

– And yet, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't trust him with this post anyway, it's too risky, but since you'll be around, then everything is fine. I'm calm. You can please Madara, tomorrow at the meeting I will announce the name of the new head of the village. –

– Okay, but finally I want to ask you something... –

- Yes? –

– Who are Orochi's parents? Tetsuya tilted his head – Her kind should obviously not be simple, that's clear, but I can't remember anything about it. –

Again, Hiruzen was silent for a while, smoking and thinking about something.

– I think I can finally reveal this secret to you. Still, now I keep it alone and it's pretty hard. –

– A secret? Tetsuya narrowed his eyes

- Yes. A secret. – Kage nodded – You know that Orochi lost her parents very early? –

- Yes. The truth about the parents themselves, I do not know anything. Even their appearance is unknown to me. –

Hiruzen grunted and bent down under the table, took out a small cardboard box.

Opening it, he began to sort through various documents – he found it. –

Pulling out two small paper folders, Hiruzen handed them to Tetsuya – Orochi's parents. –

Tetsuya accepted the documents with interest and opened the folders and looked at the faces of the girl's parents – They can't be her parents. Tetsuya frowned and said

In the photo there were ordinary nondescript Shinobi, of which there are many. A black-haired man with brown eyes and a black-haired woman with black eyes. Except that the man's skin was slightly tanned.

– Ren and Hideki. The Jonin Shinobi that loved each other and went on missions mostly only together. – Hiruzen closed his eyes for the duration of the story – Once they took a B-rank mission. Someone kidnapped pregnant women in one city. About thirty women disappeared in three months, and their search was fruitless. I had to hire a Shinobi for this case. Hideki and Ren were able to quickly find out the reason for the disappearance of the kidnapper himself. –

Sarutobi blew smoke out of his nose and put down his pipe – There was a laboratory near the city in which one settled... a scientist? I don't even know what to call it... In general, this madman wanted to bring out improved people. He tried to crossbreed some species of animals with humans, by influencing the newly formed children. Bears, sharks, birds, spiders and... snakes. –

– Wait. Tetsuya frowned, "You mean... –

- Yes. Surprisingly, during the cleaning of this laboratory, Ren and Hideki found the only child that could form, and then be born alive and well. The biological mother was unknown. The madman himself was dead, and before he died, he also managed to injure Hideki. The baby with snake eyes was the only survivor from this laboratory, so Orochi's mother remained a mystery. –

– And then what? –

– Then? Then Ren and Hideki adopted a baby. They believed that they were bound by fate itself. They did not have their own child and could not have, Ren was infertile. So they fell in love with Orochi as their own, and it was decided to make her origin a secret that will be known only to me and them. Until in the end, only I remained the bearer of this secret... Ren and Hideki died on a mission to eliminate a rather dangerous nukenin. –

Tetsuya exhaled – Now it's not surprising how easily you accepted Orochi and her sex change. –

Hiruzen shrugged his shoulders – Who knows what that madman could have done? –

– Has anyone been confused by the fact that the child does not look like his parents at all? –

– Of course it was embarrassing. – Hokage nodded – However, I assured everyone that this is a unique mutation due to Hideki's summoning. By the way, she also called snakes. People believed the word "Professional". –

The guy shook his head – Well, why didn't you tell her this story? –

Hiruzen leaned back wearily in his chair – Honestly? I just don't see the point in it, it won't change anything, and maybe it will only make it worse. It's one thing to know that your parents died heroically on a mission like a Shinobi, but another thing is... this. In any case, you are free to tell her yourself. –

Tetsuya narrowed his eyes, "You want to pass this on to me, you sly old fox. –

Sarutobi replied pityingly, holding his chest – I'm an elderly man, my heart is weak, I can't be nervous once again. Such an emotional and unnerving activity is not for me. – with a slight smile, he added – Besides, something tells me that you will be able to comfort her much better than me in such a difficult moment. –

Tetsuya, rolling his eyes, waved his hand – Okay, I'm going to Madara. –

– Good luck. –
