Chapter 125 - Naruto: Dream to Immortality (1/2)

Chapter 125

Title: Orochimaru's Curiosity

…

-Orochimaru POV-

Yami… Yami... YAMI… that has been the thing in my mind during the last week.

*squish*

I look at the table and the human I was experimenting on… I accidentally squished it's heart too hard… he is dead...damn I really need to calm down. Anyway the thing the Yami said at the end brought chills to my body. I still can hear him say those words… ahhhh… he is so perfect… his way of thinking is so refined… I was only able to realise how Yami truly was by torturing some people he knew and getting what they remembered of him… I even read some memories from Yami's mother about when he was a kid… it was truly hard to get a Yamanaka to allow my mind access to Yami's mother's mind… even the Yamanaka who read her memories didn't notice it, but I did… as clear as day… Yami even as a toddler was abnormally smart… just like me… AHHHH YAMI… you are truly a magnificent specimen. Even though the Yamanaka cost me a lot... it was all worth it… it quenched my thirst for knowledge on Yami a bit… though trying to dodge his little mosquito spies is quite troublesome… some of them it's really hard to notice even for me. But it's nothing I can't overcome...

.

I have already got the first half of the Living Corpse Reincarnation… I am almost at the stage of fully immortalising my mind. I was only able to get this part because of my old (dead) friend Danzo. Even he wasn't able to get the second part, since it is in the Forbidden Scroll… the one in the Hokage's office is obviously a fake. But I do know the location of the real one… now if only I could steal it. I was going to ask Yami for his cooperation but he refused me so fast.

I am so close to the immortality that I have dreamed of for so long. Finally I will achieve immortality and then I can start working towards my dream of learning ALL of the Jutsu in the world.

Anyway… Yami when he acted angry and cold when I said what I had observed from him. He was faking it but I didn't notice it at all until he just smiled a second later… with that he really told me that he can just fool me whenever he wants.

But who else should I investigate to be able to get a clearer picture of Yami…

While thinking this I decide to burn the body of the person I killed, since it might start to smell bad.

Suddenly… I get an idea… a person who knows Yami since young and saw his personality develop even while he was younger. Who better to ask than my good old teammate…. Tsunade.

….

Finding Tsunade wasn't  that hard. Though it was a little surprising to see her… and her son. I heard that she had returned to the leaf months ago, but I didn't really care since I had research to do… but I found Tsunade and… her son (whatever his name) eating at an expensive sushi restaurant.

While still in my Jounin uniform, I made sure that I had no blood on my clothes, because of the recent experiment. Plus I heard some rumours from my spy network that Tsunade is now afraid of blood… how silly that is… she used to splatter on the ground, from ninja families, from children, to elderly, to mothers and fathers. She would splatter their organs around with only one punch… and now she is afraid of blood…

I get close to their table, which is in a pretty secluded corner of the restaurant, with a view of Konoha. When he arrives at the table, he sees Tsunade who just looks at him and says. ”Hey Orochi… long time no see.”

I just smirk at her casual greeting. ”Yes, long time no see Tsunade… now you even have a child. Who would have guessed… Tsunade would become a mother.”

Tsunade just shrugs and says to her son. ”C'mon now Hachi… introduce yourself to Orochimaru, he is an old teammate of mine… he is like... a weird uncle to you… I wouldn't recommend following him in a dark alley or eating the candy he gives to you.”

I just look at Tsunade, with a strange look on my face. ”Tsunade… I think you are not giving young Hachi any truthful information about me.”

Tsunade seemed to think a little more, and again she turned to her son. ”Oh yeah… actually it's not just the candy that he gives to you that you shouldn't eat… you really shouldn't consume anything Orochi gives to you.”

I just shake my head at this… it is ridiculous… and the poor child seems confused what Tsunade even means by what she said.

My face becomes serious as I ask Tsunade. ”Tsunade… lately there has been a certain… individual of interest to me.”
