The two of them were very happy.
A few days later, under the guidance of Kabuto Yakushi, Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura came to a secret base of Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, the people are here."
As Orochimaru slowly walked out of the shadows, Kabuto Yakushi saluted Orochimaru respectfully.
Then Kabuto Yakushi walked silently to the side of Osawa, stood side by side with him, and confronted Sakura and his group.
"Haha, it's been a long time since we last met, Sakura-kun."
Orochimaru greeted Sakura.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. Orochimaru."
Sakura also smiled and returned the greeting.
"Do you know each other?"
Tsunade glanced at the two in surprise.
"Yes, we met once and fought each other once.
At that time, Sakura-kun made me suffer a lot!"
Orochimaru complimented her. In his heart, he still admired Sakura very much.
"You are too kind. If you were a little more serious at that time, I would not be your opponent at all."
Sakura also reciprocated and said something polite to Orochimaru.
At this time, Tsunade was amazed at the conversation between the two.
Originally, Tsunade thought that Sakura was just gifted in medical ninjutsu, but she didn't expect that Sakura's fighting ability was also not weak.
Although Tsunade could see that Sakura's physical fitness was average among her peers; but Orochimaru was a proud ninja. If Sakura's talent or strength did not make him shine, Orochimaru would not say "I suffered a lot" even if it was a polite remark.
"It seems that Sakura-kun has persuaded Tsunade to return to Konoha.
Sakura-kun, you really found a good teacher."
Orochimaru keenly noticed that Tsunade gave him a completely different feeling from when they met a few days ago; in just a few days, the previous decadent feeling was swept away.
Judging from Tsunade's intimate attitude towards Sakura, Orochimaru felt that Tsunade must have accepted Sakura as her apprentice.
"Haha, Sakura-kun, it seems that everything is under your control."
At this time, Orochimaru knew Sakura's layout.
From the conversation in the Forest of Death, Orochimaru understood that Sakura must have her own plans for her future, so she was unwilling to follow him to leave Konoha.
Orochimaru thought that Jiraiya might come to find Tsunade, but he didn't expect Sakura to come with him.
Realistic people like Orochimaru and Sakura would not make a decision for no reason.
Inferring from the result, Orochimaru felt that taking Tsunade as a teacher was most likely the main purpose of Sakura's search for Tsunade.
After becoming Tsunade's apprentice, Sakura transformed herself from a civilian ninja to a direct disciple of the Hokage, and her status in Konoha suddenly climbed to the top of the pyramid.
And with her wisdom, Nara Shikaku would not be her opponent in terms of wisdom. Regardless of whether Tsunade appointed her or not, Sakura would give Tsunade advice and become a practical assistant to the Hokage, holding real power.
"Tsunade, Sakura-kun is willing to be your disciple, your luck is really enviable.
Is this a compensation for your bad gambling luck?"
Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips, teasing Tsunade.
He now knew how far-sighted Sakura was. At the beginning, she took the initiative to prevent the possibility of Gekko Gale leaking the plan, and she also wanted to use him to get rid of the third generation.
And from the information he got, in this Konoha collapse plan, the Sarutobi clan and the Root suffered unexpected losses, which undoubtedly reduced the political pressure Tsunade faced after entering politics.
Since Sakura had already prepared Tsunade to become Hokage, Orochimaru had reason to suspect that these things were also Sakura's work.
"No, I am the lucky one to be Master's disciple."
Sakura proudly raised her chest and patted her regretful chest.
Seeing Sakura defending herself like this, Tsunade also crossed her arms and smiled provocatively at Orochimaru.
Tsunade understood that not only Jiraiya was optimistic about Sakura, but Orochimaru also admired his little apprentice very much. Even judging from the attitudes of the two, Orochimaru had a great chance to recruit Sakura.
But there was no way. Since Tsunade became famous, she has been favored by Konoha's female ninjas.
Tsunade once thought about persuading them to care more about her two old classmates, but they just didn't listen!
Her two old classmates
The talented girl who everyone wanted but couldn't get wanted to be Tsunade's teacher, which greatly satisfied Tsunade's vanity.
"So, let's get back to the point, Tsunade, have you thought about your answer this time?
Do you want to return to Konoha to be the Hokage and make me your enemy;
Or do you want to heal my hands so that I can revive Rope Tree and Dan?"
Orochimaru didn't want to reminisce about the past, and the murderous intent around him condensed, and the already humid air in the underground base seemed to become even colder.
Although Orochimaru already knew Tsunade's choice, he still had to go through the process.
"Mr. Orochimaru, don't be in a hurry."
Sakura's smile was still on her face, looking so warm.
"Sakura-kun, what do you mean?"
Orochimaru also glanced at Sakura.
"Mr. Orochimaru, you need to understand one thing:
Becoming Hokage and treating your arm are not in conflict, they can coexist!"
Sakura stretched out her hands and made a clasped gesture in front of her chest.
"Hehehe, Tsunade, with your personality, you would actually compromise on such a matter.
I didn't expect that the fifth Hokage would actually cooperate with a traitor like me!"
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade in disbelief.
"Humph!"
Tsunade turned her head to the side.
Although Sakura's proposal was a best of both worlds solution, doing things this way was not in line with Tsunade's tough personality.
"Don't say that, Master is not Hokage now. As for who will become Hokage in the future, it still needs to be discussed by the top leaders. The election of Hokage in Konoha has always been very 'democratic'."
Sakura pretended to be confused and refuted Orochimaru's words with a serious look.
These days, Sakura has also spent a lot of time to persuade Tsunade to take over.
Tsunade could accept this statement because she still regarded Orochimaru as a partner in her heart. Although he killed Sarutobi, after Sakura's analysis, Tsunade also understood that what Orochimaru did was not completely without benefit to Konoha; after all, Tsunade knew about the dirty things that Sarutobi Hiruzen did after taking office.
"Is that so? Isn't Sakura worried that after this matter is exposed, the top leaders of Konoha will find Tsunade to punish her?"
From the expressions of the two, Orochimaru knew that Sakura must have persuaded Tsunade in advance, and he felt relieved.
"Ah? What are you talking about?
Teacher didn't know that Mr. Orochimaru killed the third generation, and he treated his old classmate's hands. Is it wrong?
Although Mr. Orochimaru is a traitor, Konoha has not carried out any decent pursuit of you for so many years. The third generation has feelings for you. How could the master, who is also one of the three ninjas, watch you become disabled?"
Sakura asked Orochimaru with a puzzled look.
Tsunade, Shizune and Kabuto Yakushi all looked at each other with a new understanding of the limit of human's ability to lie with open eyes.
"Hehe..."
Sakura's answer made Orochimaru overjoyed.
However, Sakura's next words made Orochimaru feel like he was falling into an ice cave:
"What's more, restraints can't cure Mr. Orochimaru's arm at all."
