No, it can't be, right?
Orochimaru keenly sensed Hyuga Mio's low spirits. After being confessed to by both Uchiha Hikari and Tsunade, she was no longer the Orochimaru who wouldn't think about such things at all.
Could it be that Mio... she also likes me?
This... this can't be, right?
No matter how charming a person is, it's impossible for multiple excellent girls to like them, right?
Besides, I'm a woman too!
Orochimaru really hoped she was overthinking it. She took the hangover soup from Hyuga Mio and said, "Mio, you've worked hard."
Hyuga Mio wanted to say something, but looking at Tsunade lying on the bed, she felt that now was not a good time to say it. She had once thought of giving up, but now she no longer wanted to. Even if she was rejected, she wanted an answer.
Even if that answer would disappoint her, make her sad and heartbroken, she didn't want to go on like this.
Hyuga Mio watched Orochimaru return to the room and gently closed the door for her.
"Open your mouth."
Tsunade, still groggy from sleep, heard Orochimaru's voice and instinctively opened her mouth, swallowing the hangover soup she was given.
"Sleep."
Orochimaru wiped Tsunade's lips and gently laid her down.
"Mmm..."
Tsunade responded and fell into a deep sleep.
Orochimaru had originally planned to study the Forbidden Techniques copied from the Forbidden Jutsu Chamber, but now she had no mind for it.
Later, she would check on Uchiha Hikari's Sealing Technique progress, then visit Grandma Mito in the Spiral Tower, and also prepare to use the Limb Regeneration Technique to treat the disabled in Konoha.
Though she thought this, Orochimaru couldn't help but take out the scroll, unseal it, and flip through the copied Forbidden Techniques.
The Eight Branches Technique, as a Ninjutsu that only appeared once in the original work, had great plasticity, and mastering the Eight Branches Technique required a certain degree of self-modification, making oneself biologically more like a snake.
This was not a problem for Orochimaru at all; having mastered the perfect Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave, she could not only shed her skin like a snake but could even transform into a snake if she wished.
The Eight Branches Technique involves transforming oneself into a giant Eight-Headed Serpent, possessing eight heads, extremely strong regenerative abilities, and immense power.
Each head could cast different Ninjutsu, and if one could learn and master a Bloodline Limit, they could even simultaneously cast different Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu.
It seemed that the only Bloodline Limit that could be learned through study was Dust Release, mastered by Ōnoki, who learned it from the Second Tsuchikage Mu, the developer of Dust Release.
However, his son and granddaughter, Kurotsuchi, were unable to learn Dust Release, meaning there were certain requirements for learning it.
Dust Release is a Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu formed by combining three nature transformations—Wind, Earth, and Fire—with Barrier Ninjutsu.
Although Dust Release is a Bloodline Limit, it is the only Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu, which surpasses Bloodline Limits, that can be learned through study.
