After leaving the Uchiha police force's medical room, Orochimaru guessed the time. It was about the time Uchiha Jinsuke and Yakushi Kabuto had agreed to train, so he took the time to go to the Uchiha training ground to take a look.
Uchiha Jinsuke didn't let him down. Although he added a lot of his own stuff during the teaching process, he was generally doing his best.
Born in an orphanage, Yakushi Kabuto wasn't really a proper ninja. He hadn't received systematic ninja education. The only thing he was good at was medical ninjutsu learned from Yakushi Nonou.
The temporary training in Root wasn't exactly easy, but Yakushi Kabuto was basically being trained as expendable material.
After all, a spy who goes deep into enemy villages and could be exposed and killed at any time wasn't worth a lot of effort.
The reason Yakushi Kabuto was able to survive so many dangers wasn't his personal strength, but his cleverness in setting traps, hiding, and sneaking around.
Being used to working behind the scenes also made him easily intimidated in real-life 1-on-1 fights, being overwhelmed by the enemy's presence.
There's no good way to fix this bad habit other than fighting.
The more he got beat up, the more he knew the pain, and his body's instincts would be activated.
Even a clay figure has some anger. Seeing someone who once moaned in his hands turn around and beat him up, Yakushi Kabuto, even though he was indifferent to life, was filled with anger, thinking about giving Uchiha Jinsuke's ugly face a punch.
However, in Orochimaru's opinion, this would be difficult in the short term.
Even with 'Yamato brand cell fusion liquid' to strengthen his body, Yakushi Kabuto's physical quality was at most Chunin level, and his taijutsu skills were at Genin level.
Uchiha Jinsuke was an elite Jonin, one of the strongest, and he also had the Blood Wheel Eye as a taijutsu cheat.
Even if he tried to play tricks when the other side was careless, he would be easily seen through.
In terms of taijutsu alone, Yakushi Kabuto's situation was hopeless, with no chance of turning things around.
Uchihas might not be good at other things, but they've always been good at beating up weaker opponents.
So, after watching this unsurprising training session for a while, Orochimaru got up and left.
Behind him, the Genie, who was happily watching the fun, had to withdraw his gaze and shrink back behind Orochimaru.
...
In the core area of Konoha, on the balcony of a house, Yamato leaned against the wall, enjoying the afternoon sun while carrying out his mission to protect Naruto.
Yamato was having a good time. After leaving Danzo, that heartless boss, his life seemed to be on the rise.
His new boss, Orochimaru, treated him well. Besides doing some experiments from time to time, he was basically left alone, and there were almost no restrictions on his behavior.
He not only took the opportunity to make good new friends, but now he was also valued by the Third Hokage, joining the Anbu as a special Jonin, which meant more income and a relaxed job.
Yamato knew very well that the source of all these changes was Orochimaru's protection.
Although this 'Sannin' still didn't have any real power in Konoha, his influence was growing day by day after he no longer needed political fame.
So, even though he had been recognized by Jiraiya and the Third Hokage, Yamato was still unwilling to break off his relationship with Orochimaru, and instead did his best in what he was asked to do.
He hadn't missed a day of breathing exercises and training in Wood Release bloodline, and he went to Guy and Kakashi to spar whenever he had time.
In addition, in his daily cultivation, Yamato used his Chakra to nourish the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, trying to restore Shisui's eye powers as soon as possible.
Well, it had some effect, but it was nothing compared to the pain he suffered in the process.
For one thing, the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, and he was listless all day long, with dry, pale lips, as if he had done something, which made Kakashi feel very guilty and take back all those strange books.
Yamato couldn't reveal the reason for his condition, so he had to accept this rumor with tears in his eyes, which damaged his reputation.
So, when carrying out guard duty now, Yamato preferred to be alone in the sun, unwilling to face the teasing looks of his colleagues.
Of course, this also meant that his mental state was better when he was in the sun.
The specific reason wasn't clear, maybe it was because of the Sharingan or the Wood Release bloodline.
Yamato wasn't a researcher himself and wouldn't dwell on these things. All he knew was that the afternoon sun made him feel comfortable, and that was enough.
Suddenly, Yamato's narrowed eyes opened, and before he could react, a figure was in front of him.
Yamato immediately bowed and said, "Orochimaru-sama!"
Orochimaru nodded slightly, looking Yamato up and down, finally fixing his gaze on the two black circles under his eyes. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and after a slight hesitation, he slowly said,
"You're still young, only sixteen or seventeen, don't do that kind of thing too much."
Hearing this, Yamato's eyes filled with tears.
...
After some explanation, Orochimaru learned that Yamato's dark circles weren't from frequent self-harm, and he had misunderstood.
But Orochimaru didn't apologize. He thought the blame should be put on Jiraiya.
When he entrusted Yamato to Jiraiya's care, he expected that Yamato would be influenced by him, and Orochimaru knew Jiraiya's personality very well.
Based on this, it wasn't surprising that there were some misunderstandings.
Whoosh...
As Orochimaru was talking with Yamato, the sound of wind suddenly rang out, and the person who came was the Anbu squad leader who was guarding Naruto.
Seeing that it was Orochimaru, the Anbu captain paused for a moment, and immediately ordered the team members hidden in the dark to invite another Sannin.
He himself bowed slightly to show his respect, but he didn't leave. Instead, he stood aside, posing as if he was watching.
Orochimaru smiled and didn't make things difficult for the dutiful Anbu squad leader. After Jiraiya appeared, he pointed to Yamato and said,
"Jiraiya, there are some things I want him to do. I don't think you have any objections."
Jiraiya held a baby bottle in one hand and a diaper in the other, glanced at Yamato, and nodded slightly.
This Wood Release boy was originally Orochimaru's man, and now the old man was just borrowing him for the time being.
Orochimaru was giving him face in front of outsiders by asking, so Jiraiya naturally had no objections.
More than that, he wanted to know what Orochimaru wanted the Wood Release boy to do.
The Anbu squad leader saw Jiraiya nod his agreement, nodded at Yamato, and went back to his guard position.
Although he was on a mission and it was against the rules to leave without permission, in name Jiraiya was the commander of the guard mission, and the Anbu squad leader wouldn't make trouble for himself.
Orochimaru made a shadow clone to take Yamato away, looking at Jiraiya, spotting his outfit, and he smiled slightly, "It looks like you've been having a hard time lately."
Jiraiya reached out and brushed the wrinkles and dirt off his clothes, smiled wryly, and sighed, "Don't mention it, a five- or six-month-old baby is at an age when they can't control their lower body."
Hearing this, Orochimaru's expression became strange, and after a long time, he slowly said, "As expected of you, even describing this kind of thing, you can make something weird out of it."
