Konoha Village.
On the street, Bai Yu and Rope Tree were wandering.
Naoshu was wearing tight trousers and his walking posture was a bit awkward. He was still getting familiar with his prosthetic limbs.
The Torture Department obtained a lot of information from the minds of Akyou and Shirasa, including part of Sunagakure's secret puppet technique.
It's just that a small part of the secret technique is missing. If Konoha also trains puppet masters, they will definitely not be as good as Sunagakure.
Therefore, after obtaining the puppet secret, only targeted tactical training was carried out.
Because of his previous achievements, Bai Yu gained the authority to read the Book of Sealings and chose the S-level spiritual transformation technique.
In addition, Bai Ya gave a large part of the credit for killing Chiyou and Shirasa to him, so Bai Yu also has the right to check the puppet secret technique.
After he learned the content of the puppet secret technique, he immediately thought of the rope tree.
Because his legs were blown off and his knees were amputated, even if he was fitted with prosthetic limbs, he would not be able to move freely.
But after the rope tree learns the secret of puppets, it can control the prosthetic limbs like puppets through chakra to achieve the purpose of free movement.
Moreover, with the improvement of proficiency, sooner or later, like Sunagakure's Chiyo, the prosthetic limbs can also be used flexibly and freely.
This can be regarded as a substitute for the rope tree before the technology of regeneration of severed limbs is completely successful.
The most important thing is that if the rope tree wants to walk freely, it must continuously improve its chakra control ability, which will also help him improve his strength.
After Bai Yu gave Shengshu this pair of prosthetic legs in July, Shengshu had been familiar with them for three months, but when he walked, one foot was deep and one foot was shallow.
However, in such a short period of time, he was able to roughly learn the secret technique of puppets, which is already a genius.
"Master Shengshu!?"
"Rose Tree, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"How are you doing, Rope Tree?"
The villagers responded with great enthusiasm when they saw the rope tree that had not appeared for a long time.
Shengshu smiled and greeted everyone.
Although he didn't give up on himself because of his broken leg, he still subconsciously avoided going to crowded places.
Shengshu is not afraid of strange looks, but is afraid that others will show excessive concern for him, as if they are always reminding him that he needs help.
Everyone's enthusiastic reaction as before made Nao Shu's heart feel warm.
"Bai Yu, thank you."
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment: "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for the gift. These legs are very useful." Shengshu smiled.
"Just make do with it. Anyway, in a few years, I will be able to give you a pair of real legs." Bai Yu said pretending to be relaxed. Since the technique of regenerating severed limbs has only completed the first step, neither Orochimaru nor he said anything, but first It's okay to reveal something to Nao Shu himself, it's a little surprise for him.
"Really?!" Shen Shu asked excitedly.
"Of course! When have I ever lied to you?" Bai Yu looked determined.
"You said you would give me a birthday gift last year, but you didn't come back." Shengshu said quietly.
"I'm on the front line, aren't I?" Bai Yu was speechless. This guy Kushina is worthy of being a cousin, and the "Grudge" attribute is full.
"I'm kidding you!" Naoki laughed and changed the topic: "By the way, where is Orochimaru-sensei?"
"I'm not sure. He's always been mysterious lately. I don't know what he's doing."
"It's Orochimaru-sensei's birthday in a few days, let's help him celebrate together!"
"good."
...
Three days later.
Main road of West Street.
"Teacher Orochimaru, come on! We've prepared cakes for you!" Naoki pulled Orochimaru half-coquettishly towards the high-end restaurant.
Orochimaru had a helpless expression on his face.
Of course he was happy to have dinner with Shengshu, but it felt a bit awkward that Shengshu wanted to celebrate his birthday.
Especially after hearing Naoki say that Jiraiya was called, Orochimaru instinctively resisted.
Thinking of the scene of everyone giving him birthday gifts, he couldn't hold back.
However, Orochimaru really couldn't defeat the rope tree.
Seeing that the rope tree was in such good condition, he was actually very happy.
Bai Yu followed behind while suppressing a smile.
"Orochimaru?"
A slightly confused voice sounded.
Hatake Sakumo was holding a little boy of about three or four years old, standing at the intersection, curiously watching Orochimaru and Nasuki tugging at each other.
"Sakumo." Orochimaru calmly broke away from Naoki's hand.
However, Shengshu stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Sakumo-sama, today is Orochimaru-sensei's birthday party, do you want to come with us?"
"Birthday party?" Hatake Sakumo was stunned for a moment. He had a very good relationship with Orochimaru and had never heard of Orochimaru celebrating his birthday.
"..." Orochimaru fell into silence.
"Yes, Sakumo-sama. Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama will come. There is a restaurant on the corner in front. After dinner, we can go to a hot spring together." Bai Yu said with a smile.
"Really? I'll go too, but I haven't prepared a gift yet, okay?" Hatake Sakumo smiled and looked at Orochimaru with a questioning look.
"..." Orochimaru turned away.
"By the way, this is my son Kakashi. You haven't met him yet, have you? Kakashi, call someone quickly." Hatake Sakumo felt that Orochimaru was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to change the topic.
"Lord Orochimaru, senior Naoki, senior Shiroha." Kakashi said politely.
Bai Yu looked at Kakashi with great interest. He didn't expect that he was so cute when he was a child, but how could he be so wretched when he grew up. He carried a copy of Little Emperor Uncle with him.
A group of people arrived at the luxurious private room of a high-end restaurant.
Tsunade and Kushina were already seated and waiting.
Sitting across from him were Jiraiya and his disciple Minato Namikaze.
"Sakumo?"
Both Tsunade and Jiraiya were a little surprised.
Orochimaru refused to celebrate his birthday, but unexpectedly he even called Sakumo over.
"Tsunade, Jiraiya." Hatake Sakumo smiled.
Everyone greeted each other and then took their seats.
The nine people sat on the four sides of the table, Orochimaru and Naoki sat together, Sakumo and his son on one side, and Jiraiya Namikaze Minato's master and apprentice on the other.
As for Bai Yu, she was sandwiched between two sisters, the older one and the younger one, Tsunade and Kushina.
Bai Yu took his seat, and Minato Namikaze's eyes on the opposite side stayed on Kushina.
It wasn't until Namikaze Minato noticed Bai Yu's gaze that he smiled and lowered his head slightly.
The atmosphere was not too lively at first, but Aruki and Kushina livened up the atmosphere, and soon everyone became interested in chatting.
During the dinner, Bai Yu suddenly felt shocked. He finally knew why he looked familiar to Namikaze Minato!
Couldn't this guy be the Fourth Hokage?
In the Naruto story that Shiroha watched in his first life, the Fourth Hokage had a long shot in the first episode, riding Gama Bunta to fight against the Kyuubi.
I can only vaguely see that the fourth generation has yellow hair.
The sculpture quality of Hokage Rock is indeed a bit bad, but judging from the hairstyle, it looks very similar to Namikaze Minato.
The Fourth Hokage is a disciple of Jiraiya, and the psychic beasts are Toad and Huangmao.
Namikaze Minato fits all of them!
The key point is that he is the same age as Bai Yu, and he is only 14 years old this year. Bai Yu has only been promoted to chuunin recently, and Namikaze Minato is already a special jounin.
The Fourth Hokage died young, and being able to fight the Kyuubi was obviously at the Kage level. With Namikaze Minato's growth rate, he would definitely reach the Kage level in a few years.
But among all the people present, no matter how many times they were arranged, Minato Namikaze couldn't be the fourth generation.
In the end what happened?
Without Bai Yu, according to the original development, about ten years later, Kushina would die because of losing the Nine-Tails, and Namikaze Minato would die trying to seal the Nine-Tails.
No matter what, he would not allow anyone to hurt Kushina.
Even though he is only a third-class apprentice now, as long as he masters a few powerful level 0 spells, his combat power will increase significantly.
Bai Yu didn't know who was stronger or weaker between an ordinary first-level wizard and a shadow-level ninja. Whether there would be a huge gap in combat power due to differences in combat experience and secret skills.
But he was confident that once he successfully promoted to the first level "Spirit Summoner", even if Kushina wanted to re-establish the Kingdom of Whirlpool as the queen, Bai Yu would satisfy her.
