Tsunade said indifferently, "Samehada? Since Kazuki said Samehada is suitable for Nawaki, it should be suitable, right?"
"We don't need to worry too much about that. As for the things from Kirigakure, if we took them, we took them. They were his spoils of war. It's their honor to be noticed by Kazuki and taken by Nawaki."
However, she was very curious about what role Samehada played that Kazuki valued it so much. Ordinary weapons would not be valued by Kazuki, and she trusted his judgment.
As for Kirigakure, even if they were dissatisfied, what then?
It's an honor for them that we use their weapons.
Seeing Tsunade's nonchalant expression, Orochimaru's eyelids twitched as he said, "But this will make Nawaki a target for Kirigakure. Even if the war ends, he will still be targeted by Kirigakure afterward."
However, Tsunade said even more carelessly, "Isn't Kazuki still watching over him now? My disciple should be invincible now, right?"
"First, he defeated Hanzo, and then he wiped out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Besides my grandmother, no one can compare to him."
"Even Sarutobi-sensei is probably no match for Kazuki anymore."
"As for my grandmother, she treats Kazuki better than she treats me and Nawaki."
Towards the end, Tsunade was more or less a little jealous. She and Nawaki were clearly her biological grandchildren.
"Perhaps Mito-sama thinks highly of Kazuki? And Kazuki certainly hasn't disappointed her. If he hadn't emerged so suddenly, this war wouldn't have been so easy to fight." Orochimaru shook his head slightly.
Was Mito not good to Tsunade and Nawaki?
With Tsunade's usual behavior, how could Mito be good to her?
If Mito hadn't stopped her, Tsunade would probably have sold all the Senju clan's ancestral property to gamble.
Mito not directly killing Tsunade was already the greatest forgiveness for Tsunade.
As for Nawaki, isn't Kazuki leading him now? As long as Kazuki is by his side, Nawaki is relatively safe.
Even Orochimaru had to admit that Nawaki was much safer with Kazuki than with him.
"Perhaps." Tsunade pursed her lips noncommittally.
"However, when Nawaki can stand on his own in the future, it will be troublesome." Orochimaru then said, making a shocking statement.
Tsunade was stunned, then smiled freely and said, "By that time, Nawaki won't be a child anymore."
"Since he can stand on his own, he has to face the troubles he deserves."
"Both you and I went through that. However, you, as his teacher, have taught him too little."
Orochimaru was speechless. As a teacher, he felt he had put in a lot of effort. Whatever problems or troubles Nawaki had, he would send them to him through a small snake, and then he would convey his thoughts.
Orochimaru prided himself on being a good teacher. Look at what Jiraiya was doing?
He left Minato in the village, ignoring him completely. Now, Kazuki who was leading the team, was teaching him Ninjutsu and everything else.
In the eyes of discerning people, Minato was no longer Jiraiya's disciple, but Kazuki's disciple.
It was fortunate that Jiraiya was Hiruzen's disciple, otherwise, given what Jiraiya had done, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be labeled a rogue ninja.
To put it more harshly, if Konoha wasn't short of people in the future, Jiraiya would probably have lost his qualification to become Hokage.
This was a black mark that Jiraiya could not erase.
Who could accept their village's Hokage being a traitor and deserter on the battlefield?
As for Tsunade, having taught such a genius as Kazuki made Orochimaru speechless. Having too excellent a disciple was a happy burden for Tsunade.
However, was Kazuki really taught by Tsunade?
It is true that Kazuki could use Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength and some Medical Ninjutsu, but Kazuki seemed to learn those things with little effort.
Besides that, Mito was teaching Kazuki. Tsunade seemed to only provide Kazuki with that one layer of identity.
As for others, whether it was Kushina or Rinka , they all had their own inheritances. If you really count it, he, as a teacher, is much better than Tsunade.
Of course, Jiraiya is definitely the most useless. He even claimed he could teach a child of prophecy. Even if he found one, he wouldn't be able to teach him well.
"Forget it, but you should know about the recent movements in the village, right?" Tsunade asked Orochimaru while studying Chiyo's poison.
"About Kazuki's reputation?"
Orochimaru's gaze deepened, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Tsunade, I think you know me. My goal has never been to become Hokage. Moreover, there is no conflict between Kazuki and me. On the contrary, our relationship is very good. He even saved my life."
"Learning various Ninjutsu?"
Tsunade was stunned, recalling Orochimaru's past. It seemed that becoming Hokage had never been Orochimaru's goal.
He was just being the Orochimaru that others wanted him to be, so as not to disappoint Hiruzen. But if it was Kazuki, then he was indeed the optimal solution now.
"Yes. Kazuki's talent in Ninjutsu development is the greatest I've ever seen. Do you know? When I first learned that he developed Chidori, I felt like he was another person, the Second Hokage, Tobirama."
"He is the ninja I admire the most. Even now, I still regard the Second Hokage as my life idol."
When mentioning Tobirama, Orochimaru's eyes became fervent.
"My gramduncle? But many of his ninjutsu are messy." When mentioning Tobirama, Tsunade frowned.
"If you ask to study those things, I'm afraid sensei and the others won't allow you to do that. Before the village was established, my granduncle's research was unrestrained. Almost the entire Ninja World was research material for him."
When Tsunade was a child, she liked to be with Tobirama. That old-fashioned granduncle was very kind to her. Tsunade had also read a lot of Tobirama's research materials.
Tobirama even wanted to research a forbidden Ninjutsu that would curse a clan through their bloodline, exterminating anyone related to that bloodline. There was no need to think, this was clearly intended to curse the Uchiha.
When it came to targeting the Uchiha, Tobirama was extremely serious.
