With too many appointments, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to call in Assistant Hokage Danzo Shimura to help.
Danzo Shimura, who wished Hiruzen Sarutobi would work himself to death, was extremely unwilling. He was summoned from the Root base to the Hokage Building by Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, "Danzo, don't forget you're the Assistant Hokage!" He handled the appointment slips with a dark expression.
At Konoha Hospital, a room was specifically set aside for the Limb Regeneration Technique, to be used as the Limb Regeneration Room.
"Put it here, gently. That one goes over there. Be careful, the cultivation tanks are made of glass and break easily."
Orochimaru's Shadow Clone directed the Akimichi Clan Ninja in the Limb Regeneration Room, placing the medical equipment needed for the Limb Regeneration Technique in the appropriate positions.
The good-natured and robust Akimichi Clan Ninja obediently followed Orochimaru's instructions. They did exactly as Orochimaru told them, without a single complaint.
A moment later, the Limb Regeneration Room was organized. Under the bright lights, the cultivation tanks arranged side-by-side looked very much like a genetic engineering Laboratory, but they were actually used for the Limb Regeneration Technique.
It wasn't that Orochimaru didn't have faster methods, but there was no need to bring them out. This method of limb regeneration was sufficient for Konoha.
"Orochimaru, I'm here to help!"
Tsunade pushed open the door and entered the Limb Regeneration Room, dressed in a cute pink nurse's uniform. Looking at the cultivation tanks arranged side-by-side, she complained, "Why does this place not feel like a place for the Limb Regeneration Technique?"
"The Limb Regeneration Technique isn't Medical Ninjutsu; it's biotechnology."
Orochimaru corrected her, looking at Tsunade's pink nurse's uniform and couldn't help but glance at it a few more times. The cute nurse's uniform perfectly showcased her figure.
"Hmm..."
Tsunade walked up to Orochimaru, raising her hand as if to confirm something.
"I'm a Shadow Clone; my main body went to the Land of Waves."
Orochimaru quickly said when he saw Tsunade's movement.
"Land of Waves? White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company?"
Tsunade lowered her raised hand.
"Yes, the war between Konoha and Iwagakure isn't over yet. My main body had something to do at the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company."
Orochimaru operated the instruments with both hands, making adjustments. These medical devices were different from those sold on the market; they had been modified to be suitable for the Limb Regeneration Technique.
"Still fighting, huh..."
Tsunade hung her head. She didn't want to go to the battlefield at all.
"How can a war end so easily? Don't forget there's still Hidden Mist, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure. What actions they'll take is still unknown. Before we returned, Lord Danzo led a team of Ninja to repel the attacking Ninja from Yangyan Village."
Orochimaru wished the war would end sooner, but a war isn't something that can just end. Too many things are involved.
"Yangyan Village? Isn't that a Ninja Village in the Mountain Country? I remember you, Orochimaru, used to carry out missions protecting the Daimyo of the Mountain Country."
Tsunade had an impression of Yangyan Village, but it was limited to it being a small Ninja Village in a country where Orochimaru had completed missions.
"Yesterday, Hiruzen-sensei assigned Sakumo Hatake the mission to attack Yangyan Village."
Orochimaru's impression of Sakumo Hatake only had two points.
The first was the inventor of the Thousand Years of Death.
The second was a crybaby who committed suicide after being criticized a few times, a useless fellow with powerful strength but no inner strength, forgetting that he had a young son to care for, and never thinking about what would happen to his son if he died by suicide.
Orochimaru had taken care of children. Precisely because of this, her impression of Sakumo Hatake used to be good, but now she looked down on him a bit.
A crybaby, irresponsible and lacking a sense of duty, a good-for-nothing who abandoned his young son to die, with the courage to commit suicide but not the courage to live on.
If it weren't for him having Kakashi Hatake as a son, she would even suspect if this guy even had balls.
What, committing seppuku is atonement?
If the people I saved blamed me, I would have died eight hundred times over!
"Attack? Just a lesson?"
Tsunade thought that Yangyan Village was just a small Ninja Village, and teaching them a lesson in this way wasn't bad.
"Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but not wanting to go too far. Hiruzen-sensei is still too soft-hearted."
Orochimaru spread her hands. If it were her, she might have annihilated Yangyan Village to let those Ninja Villages with hidden agendas know that Konoha was not to be trifled with.
"Orochimaru, if it were you, what would you do?"
Tsunade heard that Orochimaru had different ideas.
"Special times call for special measures. In peacetime, a small punishment might be enough, but it's different now. It's wartime. The best approach is to swiftly annihilate Yangyan Village with overwhelming force, demonstrating Konoha's power and firm methods to all Ninja Villages in the Ninja World. That's what Konoha, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, should do, instead of sending people to raid Yangyan Village."
Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade out of the corner of her eye, "Unfortunately, I'm not the Hokage, and I don't want to be the Hokage. My ideas are destined to remain just ideas."
"If I were Hokage, I would probably make the same choice as you..."
Perhaps due to spending time together, Tsunade's thinking was influenced by Orochimaru, and she didn't feel there was anything wrong with her ideas.
I thought you'd think I was making a mountain out of a molehill... Orochimaru's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly realized that she had influenced Tsunade.
Orochimaru was quite pleased with this influence.
Tsunade in the original work, as the Fifth Hokage, wasn't very good. Considering that when she took over Konoha, Konoha was already in that state, and there were two senile and dim-witted Hokage Advisors dragging her down, she did quite well to achieve what she did.
