“Well…it didn’t take long actually, Orochimaru-sama.”

Even though he has dealt with Orochimaru many times, Taichi still feels uncomfortable when facing Orochimaru.

Even now Orochimaru is no longer Taichi’s opponent.

“Oh? Taiyi-kun said this, which makes me very sad. I thought we were very good friends.”

Orochimaru licked his lips and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

friend? It’s actually good to be friends with Orochimaru, but Orochimaru seems to have no friends…

What’s more, Taichi saw strong curiosity in Orochimaru’s eyes, which was far beyond his previous curiosity.

“So I am just a friend in Lord Orochimaru’s heart? It’s really sad.”

Taiyi pretended to be disappointed.

Everyone, including Orochimaru, was confused by Taichi.

What’s the meaning? To be recognized by Lord Orochimaru and become Lord Orochimaru’s friend is something that many people never dare to dream about.

You actually look very disappointed, what’s going on? !

“Oh? Then what kind of relationship does Taiyi-kun think we should have?”

Orochimaru showed great interest, and he was also curious about what the relationship between the two was in Taichi’s mind.

“Lord Orochimaru once taught me medical ninjutsu, and also taught me many principles of life. Although Lord Orochimaru and I don’t have the title of master and disciple, we have the actual status of master and disciple, so in my eyes, compared to friends , Lord Orochimaru is more like my master.”

Tai looked directly into Orochimaru’s eyes and said these words very sincerely.

Orochimaru showed an unexpected expression.

Master and disciple, Orochimaru had not heard this term for a long time.

“Master and disciple? I am very happy to be recognized by Taiyi-kun.”

But when Orochimaru saw Taiyi’s sincere eyes, a trace of nostalgia appeared on Orochimaru’s face.

Roeshu, how are you doing in the Pure Land?

“No, it is an honor for me to get help from Lord Orochimaru.”

Taichi meant this sincerely. If Orochimaru hadn’t taught Taichi the medical ninjutsu, Taichi would probably have grass on his grave half a meter high now.

Orochimaru smiled, said nothing, and sat down next to Taichi.

Taiyi was a little surprised by Orochimaru’s behavior, but he didn’t feel any discomfort at all, because the aura on Orochimaru’s body was different from before.

Although Taichi couldn’t tell what the difference was, Orochimaru was no longer cold-hearted at this time, but instead gave people a feeling of peace of mind, akin to Minato’s.

Orochimaru’s move shocked everyone in the cave. His move, in the eyes of everyone, was recognition of his master-disciple relationship with Taichi.

Everyone looked at Taiyi with eyes full of envy, but not jealousy. After all, Taiyi had just saved many people’s lives.

Since this kid is Lord White Fang’s personal disciple, he has also been recognized by Orochimaru. With Konoha’s two top combat powers as the backstage, Taichi can walk sideways in Konoha.

However, Minato had a calm expression, looking at Orochimaru and Taichi with a hint of deep meaning.

After a brief interlude, everyone rested quietly until dawn.

In order to prevent Iwagakure from still ambush, Minato went out personally to find out the information.

“Shua”

Minato appeared in front of everyone, smiling.

“Good news, I didn’t find any Iwagakure ninjas. Everyone can evacuate, but you still have to pay attention to safety.”

After hearing the good news brought by Minato, everyone cheered up and left the cave in an orderly manner.

On the way back to Konoha, as Minato said, there was no ambush. After a day of traveling, everyone finally arrived at Konoha Village at sunset.

“This operation has been hard for everyone. Let’s go back and rest first.”

When Minato returned to the village, he was not as happy as he imagined, but instead looked heavy.

Everyone knew that they had successfully returned to the village, but there were still many people who could not come back.

For a time, the atmosphere among everyone became very depressed, and everyone dispersed in silence.

Before leaving, Orochimaru patted Taichi on the shoulder.

“Meet me in the lab tomorrow.”

“ah?”

Taichi was stunned for a moment, but Orochimaru followed Minato’s footsteps and left.

“Taiyi, I’m leaving first.”

The deer man waved his hand to Taichi, and then left first with the Hyuga clan members.

“Taiyi, let’s go back together.”

After everyone left, only Kai and Taichi were left.

“good.”

Tai nodded and returned home with Kai.A night of silence.

The next day, Tai got up early, packed up and went to Orochimaru’s laboratory.

“Dong dong dong”

“come in.”

Orochimaru’s voice came from inside the door.

Taichi pushed the door open and as soon as he entered, he found a little girl standing next to Orochimaru.

This little girl looks familiar.

When Taiyi was sizing up the little girl, the little girl was also sizing up Taiyi.

Who is this boy? Why did he come here?

“Let me introduce you, this is Anko Mitarashi, who is now my disciple.”

Orochimaru then looked at Anko.

“That is Lord Taiyi, you can call him senior brother.”

Senior brother? !

Mitarashi red beans? !

Taiyi and Anko were surprised.

Taichi was surprised that Anko became Orochimaru’s apprentice so early. Anko should be only eight years old now.

Although I don’t know when Anko followed Orochimaru in the original work, Anko was already twelve years old when Orochimaru took Anko on a mission.

In other words, Anko’s apprenticeship with Orochimaru came a long time ago.

Is it because of my influence?

Taiyi thought secretly in his heart.

Anko was surprised when she got an extra senior brother, but she had never heard Orochimaru-sama mention it before.

“Hello, Anko.”

Taiyi is very fond of this big-breasted girl who likes to wear fishnet combat uniforms in the future, as long as Anko doesn’t eat too many meatballs.

“Hello.”

Anko responded calmly.

Anko didn’t have a good impression of this senior brother who suddenly appeared, because in Anko’s view, Taichi’s appearance would distract Orochimaru’s attention from him.

“Hongdou, you continue with the experiment. I have something to deal with Taiyi-kun.”

Orochimaru handed Anko the experimental instrument in his hand.

“Leave it to me, Orochimaru-sama.”

Anko has always been very motivated for the tasks assigned by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru smiled and ruffled Anko’s hair, then motioned for Taichi to follow him.

Before leaving, Taiyi waved to Anko, but unfortunately Anko didn’t appreciate it and instead gave Taiyi a blank look.

Taiyi smiled helplessly, not knowing how he provoked this girl.

After leaving the laboratory, Orochimaru hurried on without saying a word. Taichi wanted to ask, but saw Orochimaru’s serious expression and finally held back.

The two of them walked in tandem through the Leaf Village and arrived at the Hokage Rock.
