Bab 329: Chapter 329: Preparing for a Night Raid
"Want to get Tsunade?"
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Danzo looked at him in astonishment.
As the princess of Konoha and the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Tsunade had many suitors.
Among them was Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin like Orochimaru.
However, Danzo had never heard of Orochimaru having any interest in Tsunade.
Moreover, could someone as cold-blooded as Orochimaru even have romantic feelings?
Sensing Danzo's gaze, Orochimaru realized his misunderstanding and explained:
"I just want Tsunade's body."
Perhaps thinking his words were ambiguous, Orochimaru added, "For experiments."
Orochimaru had already acquired the power of Hashirama's cells, which not only allowed him to use Wood Release but also significantly increased his chakra reserves.
The only things he still desired were the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan and the Sage Arts from the three great sage regions.
Through his spies in Konoha, Orochimaru had learned that Tsunade had successfully mastered Sage Arts.
So, Orochimaru wanted to see if he could learn the Sage Arts of Shikkotsu Forest through Tsunade.
If not, he planned to take over Tsunade's body to acquire the power of Sage Arts.
As long as he could obtain the power of Sage Arts, Orochimaru didn't mind the method.
Danzo, expressionless, looked at Orochimaru and said:
"Tsunade has already mastered Sage Arts. Are you sure you can defeat her?"
Danzo knew very well the power of Sage Arts.
"That's not your concern."
Orochimaru spoke with great confidence.
Although he couldn't fully activate Sage Mode, he could still use some of its energy.
Danzo squinted his eyes, "Tell me about your plan."
Hearing this, Orochimaru smiled.
"In a month or two, during the Chunin Exams, then..."
After listening to Orochimaru's plan, Danzo's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
...
Hot Springs Inn, Deer Town.
Walking out of the bathroom, Sakura dried her hair and asked Kurenai Yuhi, who was sitting on a bench in the courtyard looking at the moon:
"Sensei Kurenai, aren't you going to rest?"
The four of them had booked two small courtyards at the inn.
Shishou shared one with Kiba, while she shared one with Kurenai.
"You go ahead and rest," Kurenai waved casually, intending to study the two scrolls Shishou had given her later.
Sakura bowed to Kurenai, "Then I'll go rest."
With that, she went into the bedroom, lay down on one of the futons, and closed her eyes to rest.
Watching Sakura leave, Kurenai sighed softly.
Today, she had advised Sakura to be prepared if she liked the boy from the Aburame clan and suggested she might be better off liking someone else.
However, she suddenly realized that she and Sakura were not so different. Even though she knew that the man she liked already had Tsunade by his side, she couldn't help but like him.
Moreover, she wasn't prepared to face Tsunade either.
Swish!
In a flash, Shishou, a user of the Flying Thunder God technique, appeared beside Kurenai, smiling at her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Shishou suddenly appear in front of her, Kurenai was astonished, "How did you know I was here?"
Out on a mission, she hadn't expected Shishou to find her.
How did I know you were here?
As your student, I follow you every day; how could I not know?
Hearing Kurenai's question, Shishou couldn't help but mentally retort.
Then, looking at Kurenai, he made up a story:
"I used Sage Art to make the scrolls I gave you, and I can sense them with a secret technique."
Hearing this, Kurenai frowned, looked deeply at Shishou, and said angrily:
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Tell me the truth!"
Seeing Kurenai didn't believe him, Shishou helplessly made up another reason.
"Fine, fine, I lied. Actually, I left a Flying Thunder God mark on you, and I can sense it from far away."
"That sounds more believable." Kurenai looked at Shishou and muttered.
Then, she frowned and asked:
"When did you leave a Flying Thunder God mark on me?"
Shishou sat down next to Kurenai and laughed, "The time I took you to see the fire clouds."
Hearing this, Kurenai blushed.
The scene of Shishou showing his Fire Release skills had often appeared in her dreams over the past three years.
Then, Kurenai glared at Shishou, "Leaving a Flying Thunder God mark on a girl, you pervert!"
Hearing this, Shishou laughed and said, "I was worried about your safety, Miss Kurenai."
Hearing Shishou's words, Kurenai felt a warmth in her heart.
Then she thought of Lady Tsunade and blurted out:
"Well, you must have left marks on Tsunade as well. If she and I were in danger at the same time, who would you save?"
As soon as she said this, Kurenai regretted it.
Asking such a question would only make Shishou feel awkward.
So she quickly added, "I didn't mean who you'd choose, but whether you'd have time to save both."
However, her words sounded strange to her again.
So she quickly added, "Never mind, you don't have to answer. I wasn't thinking straight."
Seeing Kurenai's flustered state, Shishou couldn't help but laugh and said:
"I did leave marks on Tsunade and the others, but I'd come to you first."
Hearing that Shishou would come to her first, Kurenai felt a burst of joy and asked:
"Why?"
Shishou replied matter-of-factly, "Because you're the weakest among them."
The weakest...
Hearing Shishou's words, Kurenai felt deeply hurt.
Even though she had become an elite Jonin, she was still the weakest among Shishou's women?
But thinking of Lady Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Yugito Nii, Kurenai realized Shishou wasn't wrong.
Seeing Kurenai's disappointment, Shishou moved closer to her on the bench, sitting right next to her.
Feeling Shishou's movement, Kurenai snapped out of her sadness and glared at him.
Since she had confessed her feelings to him, he had become bolder, often taking the opportunity to be close to her.
So she moved away, creating some distance between them.
Seeing this, Shishou moved closer again, sticking to her side.
Seeing that she was now at the edge of the bench with nowhere to go, Kurenai gritted her teeth and asked:
"Why did you come to see me so late?"
Shishou shrugged, "Just checking if you were asleep."
Hearing this, Kurenai looked at him curiously, "What if I was asleep?"
Shishou replied matter-of-factly, "Then I'd prepare for a night raid."
